Sunday Brunch - casual dress - Charleston or Folly Island, SC

[joez]

I would appreciate any recs for a good Sunday brunch in a restaurant that does not require dressing up (to be more specific, shorts and a polo shirt for men, similar for women). We are staying on Folly Island and visiting Charleston. What we are looking for should include seafood and hopefully be around or under twenty dollars, although we wouldn't mind going a bit higher for something really good.

I eat Sunday Brunch in Charleston about once a month and my favorite two spots are Poogan's Porch and Jestine's Kitchen.

Casual is fine in both places and I've been even less casual than that.

FYI. According to the Urbanspoon website, that restaurant has closed. Thanks, though, for all the good information.

Mmmmm! Seconding Danna's recommendation of Fat Hen, with the caveat that I haven't been there for brunch, but I've eaten there several times for dinner and it is always plate lickin' good!

Lil Mama's has closed too.
I will say I just had brunch again at The Fat Hen last weekend.They do not do bottomless mimosas anymore (BOO), but they offer 10.00 carafes.We had the Creme Brulee stuffed French Toast (yum), Crab Crepe (loads of crab), Quiche special and the Duck Au Gratin.
After 2 Mimosa carafes and a signature drink, our bill was around $95.00(excluding tip).Thought that was more than fair.Go online and get a reservation; they are always busy at brunch!

Fat Hen! I've only been there once, but the duck fat fries, grits (warning: bacon), and creme brulee french toast were all memorable. It's on Maybank Hwy, so a little closer to Folly than some other choices.

Blossom, Carolina's, Fleet Landing, Poogan's Porch and Magnolia's each serve brunch on Saturday/Sunday. I have no idea about wearing shorts. Call and check on that. I would wear some light slacks and a polo and not worry about it. There's nothing on Folly's Island I would recommend. Blu Restaurant at the Holiday Inn is the best restaurant there but I don't know if they serve brunch. If so I'm sure shorts would be fine and I would imagine there's some kind of brunch since they are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Call to be sure about shorts.

Fleet Landing would be my suggestion in Charleston for brunch and shorts but again call and be sure. It's waterfront with outdoor dining. I can't imagine shorts not being allowed. Good luck Bon Appetit.

I love brunch at High Cotton. It's a little more upscale, but people are always casual in summer. A little farther away on Sullivan's is Atlanticville, another one of my favorites.

I'm not as familiar with choices at Folly Beach.
