Review by Maxie Lebsack

The Rarebit is a delightful spot in Charleston with a cozy, trendy vibe! 🌟 I visited for brunch and tried the fried flounder and shrimp - absolutely divine with that crispy cornmeal batter and generous Old Bay seasoning! My partner devoured the chicken and waffles, which were equally impressive.

The service was fast, even with a busy crowd, and our server was attentive and friendly. The only downside? It can get a bit loud during peak hours. Overall, I highly recommend heading here if you're craving comfort food in a fun atmosphere! 🍽️✨
