eats in charleston, sc
checking into town for a long weekend on the 12th and looking for some good spots for brunch/dinner. We are foodies and looking for some authentic regional cooking.
So far friends have recommended:
Slightly North of Broad (SNOB)
Poogran's Porch
and Hominy Grill
Further recommendations and your thoughts on the above are welcome.
Thanks!

Personally, I think Poogan's Porch is highly overrated. Their she-crab soup is mediocre and the last time I was there my salad had so much slimy old lettuce it it that I had to send it back. On the same block is the wonderful 82 Queen. We've never been disappointed there. The menu is more exciting and the atmosphere is nicer, too. For fantastic she-crab and good upscale seafood, try Hank's. I also love Lochlear's on Mount Pleasant. At it's old location it was more of a strictly seafood place but I think they're more of a grill now and their menu is broader.

82 Queen is my favorite for shecrab with Locklear's a close second. My favorite shrimp and grits is High Cotton. SNOB and hominy Grill are excellent as well. Boathouse IOP has great food and a wonderful view.

I love Poogan's Porch but only for brunch. Sadly, after a couple of mediocre dinner and lunch experiences, we've skipped it for those meals but remain loyal customers for brunch. Best biscuits in Charleston.

I was at Poogan's for lunch Friday. It was good, but you're right-those biscuits are the BEST.
