“ This restaurant is a renovated two-story historical southern home turned into a modern restaurant. We made a reservation for 2 and were seated immediately upstairs. The staff was very professional and polite! They helped explain menu options and gave us several suggestions as well. The food was delicious and the banana pudding is some of the best I ever had The only item I wasn't too fond of was the hushpuppies, they had a slightly different taste than what I am used to. Would recommend to anyone looking for familiar southern cuisine with a modern twist or those looking for a more upscale place to hold celebrations. ”
“ We had such a delicious brunch. The Pimento Cheese Fritters are So good and I can’t say enough about the bacon jam that accompanies them. The chicken and waffles is next level....Can definitely be shared as it is a big portion. We tried their award winning Shrimp and Grits and they didn’t disappoint. Our server, Julie, was wonderful and showed us what Southern hospitality is all about! ”
“ My husband and I made reservations for Poogans the last night on our trip to Charleston this past March. We loved it! It’s charming and cozy was inviting. The service was fantastic! Connor, he is an amazing waiter with great hospitality. The pimento cheese fritters and swordfish is top notch. Also ordered the pecan pie with a cup of coffee cause why not? I would recommend stopping in here if you’re in the Charleston area! 10/10. ”
“ My girlfriend put in a reservation for brunch at Poogan’s Porch at 1pm last Saturday 4/26. This was our first stop in Charleston for my girlfriend’s birthday trip. We were blown away with everything this restaurant had to offer. The aesthetics were cozy, classic, clean, and vibrant. I’ve been working in the service industry for 12 years and our waitress Campbell was the best waitress we’ve ever had. Her personality and passion is truly something special. It seemed like Campbell was on the same wavelength as us. She made us feel right at home and she was extremely attentive. Campbell and Poogan’s Porch left a great impression of what Charleston had to offer. The food was amazing and the best we had on our 3 day trip. To drink we had the Pineapple Mimosas which were delightful. To start off we had the Pimento Cheese Fritters. The fritters were crisp, cheesy, and flavorful. The bacon jam took the fritters to a whole other level. We were also given some biscuits to start off and they were the best biscuits we ever had. The biscuits came with a sweet butter that complimented them well. The biscuits were fluffy, buttery, and did not leave a dry lump taste in your mouth. For entrees my girlfriend got the Fried Chicken Sandwich which was a home run. The chicken was mouthwatering, juicy, crispy and stacked to perfection between the brioche bun. The Cajun Remoulade and Bacon Jam worked in tandem tremendously for that sandwich. I got the Shrimp & Grits which was fresh, savory, and flavorful. The only thing I wish the Shrimp and Grits had was some more spice or kick to it but all in all a great dish. I also had the biscuits and gravy which were tremendous although I did want them a little more salty. We didn’t have room for dessert but that Peach Cobbler sounded delicious. All in all Poogan’s Porch gets a 5 star rating from us. Thank you Campbell and Poogan’s Porch. We will definitely come back when we are back in town. ”
“ Wow! Madelyn was our server and she was great ! On point, funny, informative and just all the things ! This place was so cute ! Atmosphere is adorable and Madelyn’s rec’s were great. The pimento cheese fritters are a DO NOT MISS THESE appetizer - no matter how you feel about pimento cheese ! I had the chicken and waffles which was yummy, some had the tomato pie omelet. The biscuits are so light and fluffy they almost float off the table. Highly recommend you go ! ”
“ Had a great experience here. I’ve been to Charleston numerous times but somehow never got around to going to Poogan’s. We started with the pimento cheese ball’s. For the entree we got the famous fried chicken and the chicken and dumplings. Both dishes were fantastic but I have to say the collard greens were above what I expected. Plenty of bite in the green and flavored very well. I highly recommend this place. ”
“ We recommend making a reservation, however this place was so good! We had biscuits, an appetizer, and our meals. I had the salad and it was so good I am still dreaming of it. I don’t think I’ve ever said that about a salad before! My sister got blackened redfish and it was so good, she really likes the okra. The waitress even said it was one of her favorites after she ordered! Lastly, we got the bread pudding. We were stuffed but don’t regret getting it at all, it is to die for! ”
“ Came into Poogan’s today after a night at The Mill House. We had a 5 star breakfast all around. Zack took care of us and the service was wonderful. We ordered she crab soup, crab cakes, chicken and waffles and fried green tomatoes. It was all really good with the highlights being the soup and the chicken and waffles. Zack sold us on the dinner choices so we will definitely be back to try those next time we are in town. Thanks again for the hospitality and great food! ”
