Veteran owned.
Charleston rooted.
Hospitality as discipline.
Top Shelf was founded by Robert Patterson, a U.S. military veteran and career chef, with a simple thesis: great hospitality is the result of relentless preparation, not improvisation.
That belief shows up in everything we do. Custom menus designed around your event. Detailed run-of-show. Tested staff ratios. Vendor relationships built over a decade in the Lowcountry.
Today we're proud to serve as the preferred F&B partner for The Citadel, The Citadel Beach House, Charleston Southern University, the Medical University of South Carolina and the Carolina Country Music Festival, alongside the private weddings, dinners and gatherings that remain our heart.
"Nothing makes us happier than stepping back at the end of an evening and watching guests linger over the last bite."
