The Hyde Out at Dolphin Cove, Charleston

A gentle breeze rustles the tall grass growing along the river, where boaters dock in the 22 dedicated slips at The HydeOut at Dolphin Cove Marina. Once on dry land, sailors and mermaids on their lunch breaks saunter up a wooden walkway lined with wood planks and ropes to the restaurant's entrance. If they're lucky, live music will fill the air as they dig into their shrimp sandwiches, hillbilly burgers crowned with fried bologna, and Cajun-style gator gumbo. In addition to the southern-inspired cuisine, two stories of outdoor seating and a full bar help fulfill the eatery's mission to create a festive, casual atmosphere.
