The menu includes a variety of seafood dishes such as oysters, clams and shrimp in addition to an ever growing raw bar menu. Amen Street supports Charleston's local fishing industry with market fresh fish.

Started with oyster shooters, baked oysters, then a po boy, and finished it off with a sugar cookie martini. Also a great beer selection.

Recommended to come here by a friend. Totally worth the late dinner. Our server was extraordinary- totally took care of my weird food allergies and chef provided an excellent meal despite my restrictions. Lovely cocktails, decent wine list. We had an amazing time.

It was not that busy but our food took about 40 minutes to get to us. My scallops were hot but were on a bed of cold risotto. The shrimp corn dogs sounded like an interesting dish but it was very unremarkable. In a foodie town like Charleston, my expectations are high so I’m afraid this one was a disappointment.
