What People Are Saying About Slightly North Of Broad
Featured Review

The Scene – Slightly North of Broad--or S.N.O.B., as locals call it--is much friendlier than its name implies. With high ceilings and exposed brickwork, the space has the elegance of a downtown loft. But homey touches, like striped tablecloths and funky, wrought-iron chandeliers infuse the room with warmth. At the back of the restaurant, a large archway reveals the bustling kitchen. Servers are upbeat and well-informed, deftly explaining a cheese course or offering wine recommendations. – – The Food – Billing itself as a "Maverick Southern kitchen," S.N.O.B. perks up…
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- No reservations? Ask for a seat at the dining counter, which faces the open kitchen at the back of the restaurant.
- Parking:
- There's an inexpensive garage just behind the restaurant on Cumberland Street.

memory refreshed

server was most informed re food and wine. had been some time since last visit-we do have a lot of restaurants in chas, but my memory quickly came to life.
presentation of food, very nice, prices more than fair and servings, ample. will not be as long before my next visit. just omit the corn/okra broth from the base of crab cakes.
- Pros: service extraordinary
- Cons: liquidity with crab cakes-not necessary

An overall pleasant experience.

Great food. Great ambiance. The sour cream apple pie was unbelievably good (I am not a big apple pie fan either). I would highly recommend S.N.O.B.
- Pros: You will enjoy yourself.
- Cons: Pricey.

Really great food and service
by nyfoodsnob
SNOB was the highlight of my recent trip to the Kiawah Island/Charleston area. The food was very good and the service terrific. They gave us a complimentary fruit bowl for my son to start. The bread was delicious and warm. We were seated very close to the open kitchen which was nice. I ordered the grilled beef tenderloin with the jumbo lump crabcake and my husband had a seared whitefish. Both dishes were cooked perfectly and very tasty. Desserts were yummy too. I had the warm sour cream apple pie with vanilla ice cream and we also ordered the banana cream pie which my son loved, but I thought was just ok. Don't miss this place if you visit Charleston.
- Pros: Nice casual ambience, great service and food
- Cons: None

Very good food, w/out SNOB involved
by palmettogal
My husband and I ate at SNOB on a Friday night. We stopped in at 5pm, made reservations for 5:30, which I highly recommend if you don't have previous reservations. We were seated at a small table, far away from the open kitchen, which I was disappointed about. Anyway...onto the food and service. Our waitress was nice, and service was on spot. After we received our water, a bread basket was placed on the table w/ cornbread, and another bread I can't remember. Very good cornbread. For entrees, I ordered the salmon. Husband ordered shrimp and grits. Salmon came plated w/ perfectly cooked asparagus, and underneath the fish, a delicate mushroom crepe. Very good. Husband loved the shrimp and grits, more meat and flavor than grits, which is a good thing. All in all, it was a nice, relaxing time. Nothing special, not extraordinary food. I would describe SNOB as solid. I wasn't blown away, but I know I would never be disappointed.
