Hannibal's Kitchen

AMAZING PLACE!! I came with a group of friends and not only was the food AMAZING but our server Gabe as well. She was super charismatic and attentive!! I ordered the crab rice meal and let me tell y’all IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL! I couldn’t stop eating it. I would also recommend the fried okra, side of sweet yams, mac n cheese and the corn bread. Corn bread was soo good, I felt back at Texas! We all loved the food and everything was amazing, even the founder Robert Hannibal came out to serve our appetizers and introduced himself, he was very sweet. Will definitely be coming back, such a a good place, meal and experience!! :)

I’ve been here twice while traveling for work and both times my service has been stellar and the food has been exceptional. Yesterday I was greeted and serviced by Kellisa and her tone, demeanor and overall aura made me feel safe, welcomed and peaceful. I’ve had some horrible service experiences in Charleston as a Black woman when dining solo in some establishments, but here felt like home. Don’t change a thing and I will always come back here!

The best Salmon, Liver and Onions, Crab and Shrimp we've had in a long time. The atmosphere is Ole skool soul, neighborhoods staple on a corner. Parking is limited, but the walk will be worth it. Everything was delicious. The lemon cake is soft, moist, buttery melt in your mouth. Great service and cool vibe. The liver was tender, not chewy. I must say I don't know where they get their beef sausage from, it is one of the best. Not store bought cheap brand. It was well seasoned, and added much flavor to the salmon and rice. Do visit and meet the original family members. Enjoy!

The food was fantastic, the restaurant and bathroom were clean and the customer service was excellent. Our server was 2nd generation, the cashier 3rd generation and the cook 4th generation. This really is a family owned and operated restaurant. The food was most delicious, no exaggeration...fresh chicken and hot sides. We had to wait a bit but everything was worth the wait. My vegetarian aunt had the kids meal and ordered a 2nd side of macaroni and cheese. Loved everything, will return when I'm in town again.

I was visiting my family and decided to stop in Hannibals. For years ive been saying that I would, this weekend I did. The atmosphere was nice, nothing fancy, but nice southern charm that I felt represented downtown Charleston well. The waitress "Gabe" was great. I loved her energy and interactions with all the patrons. She was the only one attending to the patrons so it did take a while for her to make her rounds to everyone. The food was overall decent. The red-rice was okay. I was expecting a little more flavor with this being a very significant dish that represents Charleston cuisine. The lima beans were so so. I also had the liver with onions and gravy. They were spot on! I haven't had this in more than a decade and enjoyed every bite. The cornbread was on point too. I would definitel
