Skip the line on King Street.
Charleston's food scene is world-class — and the lines prove it. From James Beard-nominated seafood spots to historic cocktail bars on East Bay, every great night out in the Holy City starts with a wait. Wayt sends a vetted line holder so you arrive at the front, not the back.
How Wayt Works in Charleston
Three steps. No hovering. No wasted evenings.
Book your spot
Pick a venue in Charleston — or enter any address. Choose your arrival window: now, later today, or a future date.
We send a waiter
A vetted local Wayt contractor heads to the venue and physically holds your place in line. You track them in real time.
Show up & sit down
You get a text when it's time. Arrive, give your name, enjoy. No waiting, no awkward hovering.
We waited over 90 minutes last time we tried to get a spot at Chubby Fish. This time we used WAYT, showed up when they texted us to, and were seated right away. Worth every penny.

Charleston's most in-demand table — we hold it for you.
Chubby Fish on Coming Street is the undisputed crown jewel of Charleston's seafood scene. Chef James London's daily-changing menu of local catch draws hour-plus lines every night of the week. No reservations. No call-ahead. Just a line that starts forming before the doors open. That's exactly what Wayt was built for.
Peak nights: Tuesday–Saturday · Address: 252 Coming St, Charleston, SC 29403

Insider tips for Chubby Fish
Doors open at 5 PM. Lines form by 4:30. Book your Wayt for 4:15 and you'll be at the front.
Tuesday through Saturday are peak nights. Expect 90-minute waits without a line holder.
The menu changes daily based on what's fresh. No two visits are the same — which is exactly why everyone keeps coming back.
Groups of 4+ have the longest waits. Wayt is most valuable for larger parties — you skip the worst of it.

What every first-timer (and regular) should know.
Book early, especially weekends
Friday and Saturday nights on King Street fill up fast. Book your Wayt by 3 PM to guarantee availability.
Rain makes it worse
Charleston summers bring afternoon storms. When the weather clears, every restaurant on the peninsula fills up at once. That's when Wayt earns its keep.
Festival season is brutal
SEWE, Spoleto, and Charleston Food + Wine turn a 45-minute wait into two hours. Plan ahead.
