Frommer's Review
This unpretentious little dive pays tribute to the cuisine of the Gullahs, among the first African Americans to live in the Low Country sea islands. Gullah cooking is evocative of Creole flavors, and the dirty rice served here delectably comes with fresh shrimp, chicken, and andouille sausage. Here the okra pod is elevated to its rightful place in the pantheon of a great vegetable: We love the crisp, vividly green okra that not only thickens the gumbos, but is also served deep-fried. The okra gumbo is a delight to us, as is the she-crab soup, one of the best served in Charleston. Locals come for miles around to sample Charlotte Jenkins's Southern fried chicken served with extra-cheesy macaroni. The fried oysters are succulent.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
