Basic Kitchen

I went here with my friends for her bachelorette and it was truly so incredible. I got the peach salad with salmon added on top, and oh my goodness. Best salad ever, so unique, delicious flavors, yum! 100/10. Everyone else’s food was also delicious, perfectly balanced, and service was excellent.

My wife and I had a great experience. (We weren't alone as this Thursday 7pm evening had the place filled with the young and beautiful people of Charleston.) Everyone who served us---Bella, Jason, Logan, and Thomas in the back---was a professional in the highest sense of the word. They were friendly, efficient, and on top of it. The food was all simply wonderful. My wife's swordfish special left her essentially speechless, marveling at all the flavors. My naughty burger and sweet potato fries were top of the line. We finished the evening with a chocolate tanini tart that was pure decadence on

Went for lunch and it was fine, but not something we’d go out of our way to return to. Positives: service was wonderful. The menu was small and had good staples with a few unique twists. They had a good variety of beverages (cocktails, mocktails, kombucha, and coffees/teas). We sat on the patio and the greenery set a nice ambiance. Negative/Neutral feedback: The meal underperformed relative to the praise we’d heard. The salmon was dry and had a strong fishy after taste. I had three bites and left the rest. Everything else was fine, but the name “Basic Kitchen” implies a simple menu done well

This was my first time visiting Charleston and we could not have picked a better spot for lunch. The restaurant is super homey with gorgeous decor. I had the chicken shawarma bowl with a gluten free bun...what an incredible meal! The cabbage slaw was nice and tangy but nicely paired with the fresh quinoa and smoky chicken. The real star of the show though were my friends sweet potato fries! They were nice crispy and melted in your mouth; I'd revisit to get these again. Highly recommend if you're looking for a light lunch in Charleston with quick service, quality ingredients, and creative dishe
