Locals Sushi & Sports Pub on James Island didn’t become a neighborhood staple by chance. It’s the place people made their own and kept coming back to because the sushi is consistently fresh and inventive, the drinks are thoughtfully crafted, and the atmosphere feels familiar. With creative rolls, a full bar, and every game on, it’s the kind of spot you visit for a quick bite, a relaxed night with friends, or a big game and find yourself returning to whenever you want an easy, enjoyable night out.
"Absolutely disappointed in the food here. Love the West Ashley location but Uber eats had a special for this location so I’ve tried them twice now and both orders had issues. They sent the wrong sushi roll last time but I thought I’d try the place again because mistakes sometimes happen. Sadly I won’t ever use the James Island location again. Ordered from there tonight and my steak was so undercooked it wasn’t edible. I get this same roll every time I order and have never had it turn out like this. Not to mention I paid $4 for salmon to be added and was barely given a sliver". 
"I love Locals! I try not to repeat restaurants often in Charleston but this is one spot I will always gladly come back to. Even if you aren’t a sushi lover there is something on the menu for everyone. Our server Ashley was attentive and provided great service. I love the energy the restaurant brings for happy hour with a great deal of half off a majority of their sushi rolls. The Tuna Tower was delicious. We also got the Charleston and the Holy City roll. My favorite roll is by far the Holy City Roll! If you are in the mood for some good food check out Locals!" 
"Wow, been living here for a number of years and never knew about this place. Definitely worth going to. This is my new regular spot for sushi! The entire meal was really fresh and tasty. Family/kid friendly. Huge parking lot in the back, gravel. You can park out front or behind other businesses. Wheelchair accessible." 
"I just ordered to-go because this place is close to my house and I am so mad I didn't try them sooner. The host/staff members at the door were incredibly friendly and so was the bartender, I didn't catch their names but Ashley was the server name on my receipt. I ordered the locals wedge salad and Chicken Hibachi Dinner which came with miso soup. The food was really great. My only issue was that I wanted twice the bacon on the salad but next time I'll order it that way. 10/10 will be back... probably this week." 
"Zach is the best!!! Great food as well but he made our experience" 
"Love Locals! It’s me and my family’s favorite sushi place. The staff is always friendly and there’s always great service. I love getting the veggie roll and the edamame. So happy that they opened a new restaurant on James Island! This is my new favorite Locals location."
