Nestled in Charleston, 167 Raw is a vibrant seafood haven featuring fresh oysters, irresistible lobster rolls, and a cozy patio perfect for rosé-fueled lunches.
"Perpetually packed seafood restaurant 167 Raw showcases the best that the ocean has to offer. The dining room feels like a party with a full room of friends and families enjoying plenty of cold frosé, oysters on the half shell, baked crab dip, and rich lobster rolls. 167 Raw doesn’t take reservations, so sign into the queue and take a walk around Charleston while waiting for the restaurant to text." - Erin Perkins
"Seafood star 167 Raw offers its take on a dirty martini with tequila, olive brine, and a few drops of chili oil. It’s spicy, salty, and a great start to a meal of fresh oysters and shellfish." - Erin Perkins
"Seafood house 167 Raw started as a small storefront on East Bay Street and has since upgraded to a multi-dining room space on King Street, but that has not diminished the crowds vying to grab a seat for perfectly shucked oysters, little neck clams, or a jumbo shrimp cocktail. The restaurant doesn’t take reservations, but it does offer online ordering. The lobster roll with a buttery, buttery bun is the stuff of legends. Don’t sleep on the shrimp taco or the frosé." - Erin Perkins
"The wait for seafood restaurant 167 Raw Oyster Bar is usually long, but if you’re on your own, you can probably squeeze into the long bar for a plate of oysters, a dirty martini (they make their version with tequila), and a lobster roll. Raw bar items are priced individually, so you can build a plate according to your own hunger and preferences. One shrimp and three clams? Sure." - Erin Perkins
"What’s a fancy seafood spot doing on this list? Well, 167 Raw Oyster Bar just happens to have one of the best carnitas tacos in Charleston. The pork, smoked for 10 hours, gets crisped up before serving, so each bite has the perfect crunch matched with pickled red onions and crema. The fried shrimp and fresh catch tacos are worth an order as well." - Erin Perkins
