The Buccaneer was a pleasant surprise. We were looking for a place for lunch one day while on vacation in Charleston, and the more well known spots for luch were very crowded with tourists. We decided to try the Bucaneer, located just down tiny Faber Street, off of East Bay, sort of behind SNOB. Although the Buccaneer was busy as... more

My wife found this place on a tourist map. She wanted to take the kids there since they are into Pirates and all. Hey, its a vacation lets do it! I was very surprised by the quality of this place.

This is a nice restaurant, and seems to be well run. I was looking forward to it after reading some of the reviews here, but the kitchen is absolutely its weakest link, and that's why I go to a good restaurant. I was there on a Saturday evening, early enough to beat the crowd. It had been a number of... more

While in South Carolina for a conference, we found The Buccaneer's review on Tripadvisor and decided to try it out. What a great place! My family loves a theme, and this place is all theme. Walking down the cobblestone street to get to the entrance will put you in the mood. Happily, the great food stands out as much as... more

We were in Charleston for three nights, and lucked on The Buccaneer the first night. It's in Faber Street, a little alley just east of Bay and just south of Cumberland. We had the mussels appetizer and shrimp and grits. Truly outstanding. The grits were _so_ creamy. We had to skip dinner Friday to make a comedy show. And for... more

After meeting my friends in Charleston for the weekend we decided we all wanted to go out for a nice dinner. We looked around until we found the Buccaneer. There was six of us so we expected to wait for a table. The staff said it would be about twenty minutes witch we thought was OK since it was the... more
