Halls Chophouse Nexton (Summerville)
If you’re looking for a special brunch, make reservations here. Halle can be very tough to get into in Charleston. It’s a little easier in Summerville and the food is just as good. For beautiful live music, head there on Sundays for the Gospel Brunch. You can expect to spend more here, but the food is high quality and worth it.

If you have a car and plan to head to Charleston at all during your stay, this hotel is close to the freeway. It’s newer and in a pretty quiet area, too, especially for being so close to I-26.
