Each year we ask readers through print and digital pages of Lowcountry Cuisine and our supporting social media platforms to help choose Golden Spoon winners. They can give their favorite restaurants up to five spoons in five categories including quality of cuisine; selection of beer, wine and cocktails; quality of service; ambience; and overall value. Their selections become part of an exclusive circle of the best and most recommended restaurants in the Lowcountry. These culinary establishments serve delicious food and drinks, offer excellent customer service and provide a warm, inviting atmosphere that patrons want to return to again and again.
The circle is growing. Follow us on Instagram @LCCuisineMag, YouTube (Charleston Cuisine) and Facebook (Lowcountry Cuisine) or go to Goldenspoonaward.restaurant to vote for your favorites and tell us why they are the best.
Including Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Johns Island, Awendaw, James Island, Summerville, Isle of Palms, Folly Beach, North Charleston, Daniel Island, Goose Creek, Sullivan’s Island and Ravenel.
