The mac & cheese , chicken & waffles , and shrimp & grits were all superb. Quaint little spot, so I'd recommend making reservations ahead of time! :)

Nicole Polidoro

Brunch was amazing. Some of the best biscuits I have ever had and the chicken and waffles were delicious. It's also pretty and charming. Would definitely go back if I'm in the Charleston area again.

Ranu Rajkarnikar

Great for brunch ! Be prepared to wait a bit but you won't be disappointed. Fried chicken and short rib sandwiches were delicious as was the blackened catfish . Biscuits to start! Friendly service too.

Manzoor Farid

The fried pickled okra appetizer and entree of pan scallops with Ricotta dumpling , parmesan , charred cauliflower and fried collard were a stunning combination. Truly outstanding contemporary cooking!

Wayne Anderman

Great homemade biscuits . Shrimp Etouffee omelet & Old Bay seasoned home fries rate. Cozy charming atmosphere- garden , porch or indoor seating all a win. Waffles & Fried chicken recommended

Paige C

One of the best brunch experiences I've ever had. I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes . The biscuits are the best in town . Order up a cocktail and enjoy!

Briana Bailey

Our favorite dish in Charleston so far were the shrimp & grits here!The fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese fritters were good too. Skip the violet drink :P The bartender was really nice though!

Adam Sigel

The chicken and waffles are incredible and unique. Blueberry syrup makes the dish. Friendly staff , great atmosphere out on the patio .

India Brantley

The atmosphere is wonderful and quaint. The pimento cheese fritters are okay, probably good if you love it. The entrees were delicious though! Had the shrimp and grits and pork chop !!

Briana Bailey

We've been doing a food tour around Charleston and this place really does have the best shrimp & grits ! I tried it at other places and they were good...but not as good as here! They set the bar high.

Brent Gatewood

Where to start? All good! Get the Mac and Cheese-now! My daughter loved the chicken and waffles . Others loved the French toast . Service great. Just come here!

Louisa Rigali

Incredible menu for Christmas — I got the steak and iceberg wedge, both excellent. And the biscuits they brought at the beginning were to die for!

Seán Oh

Everything is good. Seriously, everything. I had the best cocktail of my life and I drink a lot. The bartender makes his own simple syrups , bitters , and uses unique spirits for his cocktails .

Kelly Wegner

Every time I come to Charleston to visit my parents I have to make it here for at least one meal!!! Never had anything I didn't absolutely love here! Atmosphere is awesome and the service is fabulous!

Great southern food with awesome service. Go for the Buttermilk Fried Chicken and the Shrimp and Grits . Oh, and the fresh biscuits . And the Mac and Cheese . Definitely returning.

L Johnson

The chicken and waffles are superb. The Shrimp and Grits are sweet, but still excellent. The food and service were both excellent.

Adam Tornes

Gouda Mac & Cheese is really good to get started and Short Rib Ragu was the 2nd best Ragu my wife has ever had. Crispy Skin Snapper dish was to die for as well .

Darcy Silver

Went for lunch , great fried chicken , sweet tea drink, pulled pork , cheddar mac & pimento fritters . Check out the menu signed by Brett Farve by the door!

Patrick Cusack

Everything here is pretty good. Especially the Pimento Cheese Fritters . I had the Fried Shrimp and my family members I was with Had the duck and Swordfish and they all enjoyed it.

Patrick Cusack

I came here with family. We had the Fried Shrimp , The Duck and the Swordfish and they were great. Especially the Pimento Cheese Fritters .

Ab

Southern cuisine presented with fresh ingredients . Light on the butter and lard in service of lighter, natural flavors. Thought I'd dislike the unfamiliar twist, but it's hard to be fight delicious.

Aaron Davidson

One of the best Bloody Marys I've ever had. The she-crab soup , biscuits and gravy , and barbecuban were all made with really fresh ingredients but were far too sugary.

Patrick Cusack

The Pimento Cheese Fritters and the Alligator bites are delicious. The food is awesome especially the pulled BBQ sandwich .

Alexandre Munhoz

Typical high calorie southern food . The fried green tomatoes , mac and cheese with bacon , shrimp and grits are all good options. The place is also nice and service efficient.

Bitches Who Brunch

The Bitches say: B+. Come here for the picturesque porch , beautiful location, and the biscuits – just pray you’re lucky enough to score a shaded table if you sit outside! Read more

Justin Theodore

Buttermilk Fried Chicken was by far the best I've ever had by far. Had it served with mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese . The Biscuits were great too. So much food, So filling, So good.

The Tastes that Make the City

The pimento cheese fritters are the best fritters in Charleston, which is why it’s on our list of The Tastes That Make the City : Charleston. Read more

Bailey Coe

Everything is delicious! Love: fried pimiento cheese balls, fried green tomatoes , alligator salad , fried chicken , plantain chicken , salmon , shrimp & grits and bread pudding .

Jenn Huffman

Fritters and fried green tomatoes are a must! Scallops and salmon entrees are delicious. Risotto was incredible as well . 100% coming back here next time I'm in the state .

Jess Coleman

I was a bit nervous about ordering fried pork chops , but I was pleasantly surprised to find it only lightly fried. The Gouda Mac and cheese was delicious, but the collard greens were a bit overcooked.

Gary Cook

The duck confit grilled cheese can be looked over for other offerings. The pulled pork sandwich has a great flavor with the signature South Carolina mustard zing. Service and atmosphere are superb.

Heather G

the biscuits + butter are delicious! pimento cheese app and fried green tomatoes were amaze. highly recommend the scallops entree. fav restaurant in charleston!!

John Lawson

I'm kinda a rib snob and the St. Louis style ribs are flipp'n awesome! Dry rubbed with just a touch of sauce. Fried green tomato aptz was really good but the she crab soup was disappointing.

Ana Breton

Best restaurant in Charleston! You get great food, a great atmosphere, and a dog ghost ! What else do you want! Order the fries green tomatoes .

Cathy J

Great food, especially the crab bisque ! Only negative is their hallway/bar area always smells like a soured mop. Quite surprised they've never fixed this. Otherwise the place is fantastic!

Justin Martin

Can’t miss destination. For aps, opt for the pimento cheese fritters or she-crab soup . Dinner the lamb shank , shrimp & grits , scallops or fried chicken will make your tummy happy!

Alex R

Amazing place to eat! The pimento cheese fritters are to dye for and the fish is cooked to perfection! Wish this place wasnt 650 miles away from home!

Carsten Nohrden

Shrimp and grits were so tasty, as were the pimento cheese poppers and fried green tomatoes !

Chloe Motes

The fritters , home made biscuits , & the BBQ sliders are divine!! Also the staff is super friendly . We will definitely come back!

Farhat Sikder

We ordered the SheCrab soup , the fried chicken and mash potatoes to go. It was amazing! Couldn’t get enough of the soup

Mike Koshko

Biscuits are out of this world; flaky and the honey butter is an added bonus on them.

Kim Oliver

Amazing Dinner ! Plantation fried chicken was to die for, second floor porch seating was perfect, outstanding service ! A Charleston favorite for sure!

Andrew Glass III

Had Abraham as a server and he was great - plantation chicken is amazing and we had an emergency and had to leave really quick and they boxed us up and got us out quick. Thx

Ryan Gerecke

Try the alligator bites, they are delicious and they won't bite you. The creamy jalapeño sauce is tasty.

Nicolas

This is a must eat spot! Pimento Cheese Fritters = spectacular! Sweet butter with the biscuits is almost worth the trip. Recommend the shrimp and grits as well as the fried chicken .

Peter Boyce

Pimiento cheese fritters ; fried green tomatoes ; biscuits & gravy ; Westbrook White Thai

Amanda Bertrand

Everything! The Pimento fritters , Chiken and waffles as well as the shrimp and grits were all amazing!

Burgess

Believe the hype... Pimento fritters and fried chicken are both amazing. Collard greens are great as well .

natalie kay

southern ceaser salad with fried chicken is delicious and let’s you save room for dessert .

Katrina O'Hara

Absolutely delicious. The duck was fantastic and wine can be reasonably priced. Walk-in sit outside, which is probably the best seating anyway.
