FUEL Charleston serves Caribbean influenced cuisine of local fish tacos, house ground burgers, and intriguing island-influenced entrees. FUEL uses fresh and simple ingredients accompanied by affordable beers, signature cocktails, and unique wines. You won’t find items on the menu you can’t pronounce, nor will you find ways of cooking that defy the laws of science. Fuel has a tropical setting housed in an old gas station with an indoor/outdoor bar and one of Charleston’s largest patios. The ambience strikes a wonderful balance between relaxation and nostalgia. But the best part is the food, which tastes great every time you visit.
