When you have severe food allergies, going out for dinner isn’t a stress-free way to unwind; it could lead to a trip to serious illness or, even worse, a trip to the hospital. Every time an allergy sufferer bites into a burger prepared by a stranger, they know that there’s a possibility that it can make them sick, perhaps life-threateningly.

These risks that allergy sufferers face may result in them choosing to stay home rather than enjoy an evening out; risking their life isn’t worth a gourmet meal. However, eating out is an important social activity that carries cultural significance. Especially in the South, where Southern cuisine reigns supreme, you don’t want to avoid getting together with friends for great food and company just because you have an allergy.

As extreme allergies have become more common, so have allergy-friendly restaurants. These restaurants have to adhere to the highest standards; they understand that if someone suffers from a peanut allergy, for example, that the food can’t even come in contact with the peanut oil. Everything must be handled with extreme care.

Here are 21 restaurants in the Charleston area that can accommodate different types of allergies.

Important note: While all restaurants on this list will accommodate food allergies, not every kitchen is able to avoid cross-contamination for extreme allergies. If you suffer from extreme allergies, call the restaurant prior to your visit to ensure that your food can be prepared safely.

Side note: Those who suffer from food allergies may find this book to be beneficial.

Additionally, Halls Chophouse boasts a five-star rating on Find Me Gluten-Free. 

Although gluten-free and allergy-friendly dishes are not marked on the menu, the staff can help you choose the best dishes for your specific allergy.

Butcher and Bee

Butcher & Bee opened in 2011 with the goal of creating gourmet meals within sandwiches. In order to achieve this goal, they committed themselves to only the finest fresh ingredients, sustainably sourced from local farms. As it says on their website, “Supporting local and sustainable is not a slogan. It’s the right thing to do, and the food tastes better for it.”

Because of the freshness of their ingredients, many of their offerings are subject to change based on the season, and you might see a slightly different menu every time you go. But, this only adds to the experience; you know that every bite is as fresh as it can possibly be.

Allergy safety precautions

Like other allergy-friendly restaurants, Butcher & Bee takes careful care when it comes to allergies. They have some gluten-free options available for gluten-free customers, and you can always request substitutions. If you make a reservation, be sure to make a note of your allergy, and let the server know as well so that they can take extra precautions.

Must-order items

Gluten-free customers and non-allergy customers alike have raved about the egg and cheese sandwich. “I was BLOWN away by the quality and size,” said one reviewer. “The bread left absolutely nothing to be desired. It was soft and didn’t crumble to pieces. I almost couldn’t believe it was GF.”

Beech

Beech began as a dream between two brothers. They wanted to provide healthy food to people on-the-go.

Their menu focuses on the basics of a balanced diet: fruit, fish, rice, and vegetables. Based on this foundation, they’ve cultivated a delicious menu filled with fresh poke bowls, fruit bowls, fresh pressed juice, and more. Boasting three locations across the US, Beech has become a favorite for those who care about what they eat but require the convenience of fast food. 

Food allergy precautions

Beech takes food allergies very seriously. For all food preparation, they ensure that there’s no cross-contamination. Fish preparation is done completely separately at its own station, and peanut butter is strictly kept to its station as well to avoid peanut contamination. 

If even the slightest food allergy is brought to the attention of the server, that allergy is written on the ticket, and all food prepared for the allergy sufferer is done with completely clean gloves and utensils, and a special cutting board and/or blender are used. 

Nearly everything in the shop is gluten-free (with the exception of bagels, bread, and wraps). None of their granola contains gluten, and they offer a special nut-free granola. This makes Beech a safe choice for those who have Celiac’s. Even the soy sauce is gluten-free! 

Must-have dishes

The owner himself, Keegan Bird, recommends the sweet fire poke bowl or the Hawaiian-style poke bowl. All of the bowls are gluten-free, so those who can’t eat gluten will be happy to know that they can feel free to explore the menu.

If you love acai, he recommends the Beech bowl for a fresh, healthy, and delicious breakfast or lunch. Those who suffer from nut allergies can ask for nut-free, gluten-free, organic granola.

Consistently praised as the best Thai restaurant in not just Charleston but in the entire country, Basil boasts a beautiful menu filled with Thai and Southeast Asian cuisine.

The food makes this spot a foodie paradise. Every menu item is delectable, and even those who have tasted genuine Thai cuisine have said that the food found at Basil exceeds expectations. If you’re looking for some of the best Thai food that you can find outside of Thailand, then Basil is where you should go.

As a note, true vegetarian and vegan options are limited due to the fact that much of the cuisine is cooked in fish oil. 

Allergy safety precautions

Additionally, patrons who suffer from food allergies should alert staff prior to their visit so that the restaurant can take the proper precautions.

Those who suffer from food allergies have reported that they feel very safe dining at Basil. “The food is consistently delicious, the menu is easily modified for my food allergies (dairy, eggs, and wheat) and there are a lot of vegetarian options, as well, which is rare in Charleston, so absolutely appreciated,” one reviewer said.
