We enjoyed our food and the atmosphere quite a bit. The staff was very aware of the rumors that it is haunted and really had fun with it without making it scary for our children.
This weekend was my husband's and my first time visiting Charleston. Since we were only going to be here one night, we wanted to try something special and different, but still with local flavor. After reading the TripAdvisor reviews of many restaurants in the downtown area, we selected Poogan's Porch and are very happy we did.

This was an excellent meal and the service was also friendly and efficient. We changed our reservation at the last minute and they were very accommodating.

Nice, unpretentious cooking and a wide variety to suit different tastes. Good service and pleasant despite being crowded. They handled the waiting list very efficiently.
Alligator appetizer was yummy. I had the Snapper entree, and it was perfectly layered with spinach and a grit-cake of sorts. My boyfriend had the filet. Everything was great. First extra dirty martini wasn't shaken enough so it got warm quickly, but the second was perfect!
