The Variety Store

It’s not what you think. It’s a lot more!

The Variety Store is one of the best restaurants in Charleston for breakfast, lunch or dinner and anything in between. They also cater parties and outings of all kinds, as much or as little as you want.

The Variety Store has been a family run business for three generations of “Altines.” The Variety Store was started by the first Mike Altine at the Charleston City Marina as a place you could purchase snacks, soft drinks, fishing gear, etc. Over the years it was expanded into a full restaurant but it has remained a variety store selling some groceries (bread and milk), newspapers, magazines, and providing use of a washing machine and dryer for marina residents.

The best thing about the Variety Store is the food! I highly recommend the club sandwich or she-crab soup for lunch and the fresh fish of the day for dinner.  Breakfast is up to you. I like them all!
