Favorite restaurants

[Epistaxis]

2 part question.....

Favorites in and around Charleston and HHI.

I'm trying to avoid total tourist trap dumps with below average food and inflated prices.

Love me some fine dining, but unless one of you suckas wants to sit our two ankle biters, that won't happen.

I'd love to hear about the hidden gems, and yes I am very interested in "local fare". Also like to know why you like it, and the type of food they serve.

All help greatly appreciated.

When I get some more time, I'll give you a list.

Joe's Crab Shack for seafood and Fuddruckers for burgers

I love SNOB (Slightly North of Broad). Check out their shrimp 'n grits -- they're the best I've had. Despite the name, the place isn't as pretentious as it sounds. It's certainly nice, but I think you'd be fine bringing a couple kids with you.

I've also heard great things about Hominy Grill.

You can't be serious. You can get those in Charlotte.

You sound like my friend who told me I had to go get some Sticky Fingers while I was in Charleston? Really?

Yes and yes, but go to Poogan's Porch for some shrimp n grits.

I've never seen Hominy that well made up as they have in that pic. lol

SNOB has great food.

I found the recipe for their shrimp 'n grits online and have been meaning to make it.

Oh Epistaxis, one more place I can recommend is right around the corner from SNOB. If you can stomach the name, take your family to The Buccaneer. It's pirate-themed, but in a very classy way. And the food is pretty good. Good burgers, and decent shrimp 'n grits (can you tell I like shrimp 'n grits?). But more than this, it's just a really cool place that I think kids and adults alike would enjoy.

Hadn't heard of it, but I'll definitely look it up next time I'm down there.

Hank's Seafood is always good. Decent wine selection too, I think. I'm not sure because I'm to busy ordering Glenfiddich on teh rocks.

Red Rocks here in Charlotte (Strawberry Hill shopping center) has great Shrimp & Grits!

(Sorry, I know this has nothing to do with Charleston.)

I also recommend SNOB.

While you're there, you should go out to Isle of Palms for the beach. Then have dinner on the roof/patio of One Eyed Parrott. Good food, especially for being on the beach.

The Boat Hosue is good too, I like the one on IoP but there's one in downtown Charleston.

This little place called Dominos is pretty good, small family owned pizza place
