    Wonderful food and drinks. We went for lunch and sat at the bar. The staff was attentive and informative. The oyster selection was broad and the bartender was very knowledgeable. We also had a king crab salad, a daily special that was incredible. Pricy, but wonderful.

    I now have a new favorite spot in my hometown! Love 167 raw and the amazing accommodations. I have celiac disease and was unable to eat the lobster roll and they made me the best lobster salad! Our bartender Alex was too notch. Everything was amazing from the drinks to the food and the atmosphere. 167 is a beautiful restaurant/ bar with light bright colors with live plants and professional employees that go above and beyond. My favorite cocktail was the espresso martini and I can’t wait to go back to try more of their menu. You won’t be disappointed if you choose 167. The aesthetic and quality are perfect.

    Went in for lunch and they didn't leave us wanting or questioning our food. The lobster roll was spot on.....the curry and crab dip though was really good.... We also had a sampler platter which was good. Service was also good. We did go with 2 kids and they didn't have booster seats or high chairs. If you can handle having your kids sit on a normal chair then don't get deterred, the food is worth it. Even my niece loved their ceviche and lobster rolls and she's only 2yo!

    Very good food, very good service. We are visiting from Seattle. Saw almost all 5 star reviews so we thought we’d try. Delicious lobster roll. Delicious lobster tostadas. Outstanding oysters. So fresh & tasty. Awesome margaritas. Expensive, we spent almost $200 for lunch but worth it.

    Split a lobster roll with cucumber salad. Lobster roll was an authentic lobster roll and the cucumber salad was very refreshing. The oysters were delicious and loved getting to sit in front of them and watch them freshly shuck the oysters. The wait was a little over an hour but we just walked down to the market and kept ourselves busy in the mean time. It was well worth the wait, especially for the oysters. We’d for sure come back!

    Oysters were chef's choice, they had about 6 different types, so we got a dozen and then four more. We also tried claws, 1/2 lbs, so, so, good. We got black caviar, they served it with chips, maybe something different would work better. We tried crab dip, it was delicious, with a lot of flavor. And we finished out meal with lobster rolls, one cold and one warm, bothe were full of flavor and delicious. Would definitely go back, the raw bar and the rest of the food was truly fresh and delicious. Cocktails were good too. Would definitely recommend it to everyone visiting Charleston. Our waiter was Cameron and he was knowledgeable and able to make recommendations.

    Don’t visit Charleston without making this stop. The food is unbelievable and unlike anything you’ll get at home or another restaurant. We split the lobster roll and the pastrami swordfish sandwich. The swordfish sandwich was one of the best I’ve ever had in my life! I would have never picked it on my own, but the bartender made a solid recommendation and I’m glad I listened. He and everyone else at the restaurant were incredibly helpful and kind. The food is delicious but great service makes a difference, too. Get the tuna tataki, I can’t stop thinking about it since I ate it!

    Caleb gave us great recommendations!!The fish of the day (Grouper) was an incredible dish and the scallops were full of flavor as well. Passionfruit cocktail was my absolute favorite cocktail I’ve had in Charleston so far! Mexican pudding dessert was also amazing! My husband and I are definitely foodies and we were very impressed and highly recommend coming here!!

    All the 167’s are amazing. We had all the tacos and the lobster tostada and loved those. We also had a full raw plate and the crab dip to finish. Only thing we didn’t like was that the wine by-the-glass selection wasn’t that great, too slim of a selection. Everything else was good.

    Had a lovely meal our first night in Charleston! All the seafood was very fresh, the scallops had amazing flavor and were some of the best I’ve ever had, and the tuna burger had a really good off the grill flavor too! Holly, our server, was delightful as well and recommended an amazing mocktail!! The inevitable wait is worth it here ☺️

    Listen ....I do a lot of reviews. I typically give a good deal of details because I want folks to spend their money wisely. So when I type to you that this place has some of the best food ...whew... I mean that sincerely. So this was a recommendation from the hotel when I asked about a good place to eat. Usually those have some type of kick back associated but not in this case. We were told this location is popular, they don't take reservations, and it could be a long wait. So we went and prepared accordingly...got there and got lucky...15 minute wait ...boom. Got seated and looked over the menu. Its a tad pricey ...not overly pricey but just know you gonna spend a little something something but everything we ordered was excellent. See the attached pics for details but the drinks were super strong, portions were good on the appetizers and meals and overall super pleased with the customer service and food. Highly recommend you try them out.

    This is it. The food here is amazing! Service was great. Go about an hour before you want to eat and put your name on the list (they don’t take reservations). Get the ceviche, fish tacos, and fish of the day- although everything is probably delicious! This is literally some of the best food in Charleston and I’m from here! It’s amazing!!

    This is by far the best sushi experience I’ve had! My husband brought me here for dinner on my birthday. The chiefs made this a very personable dinner. Don’t forget to get sake!

    167 Raw is one of my favorite raw bars in Charleston! This location does not accept reservations, so plan accordingly as you may have to wait during peak times. We were seated on their beautiful patio and enjoyed the lobster roll, the swordfish pastrami sandwich, and the oyster po boy. The staff was kind enough to split all three sandwiches for us to share without us requesting they do so. We also enjoyed the tuna tataki for our appetizer.

    Best meal in Charleston. Downtown. Dinner at 167 Raw Oyster Bar - Charleston the seafood ceviche, crab rangoon dip, Lobster Roll, Tuna Tartare and swordfish pastrimi. Definitely worth the hype. Great meal. I would definitely check this place out if you’re in Charleston.

  • 5/5 Heather B. 8 months ago on Google
    My husband and I chose to eat here based on the photos of the lobster roll. It did not disappoint. We placed our name on the wait list and after 25 minutes were called to the bar. I had the lobster roll and hubs had the oyster po boy. He chose a local draft, a brune, I believe it’s spelled. All very good. While the restaurant was full and lively, we we easily able to hear one another. Our only difficulty, which has no bearing on the restaurant, was trying to find parking for our truck. We would definitely recommend checking out this location.
