We had to try Poogan's Porch, because of the dog's story, and had a decent meal there. We first ordered the She-Crab Soup and were immediately dissapointed. The soup was so thick that it would have served well as wallpaper paste. A great She Crab soup should only be thinkened slightly, if at all. Also, it had no hint of... more

We ate dinner and brunch at Poogan's and think it's a great little restaurant. The biscuits are great! Service was good too. I had 2 apps for dinner - pimento cheese (YUM) and the fried green tomatoes (just okay). Brunch was your typical eggs and home fries. Not the best restaurant I've ever eaten at but I would definitely go... more

Poogan's Porch was charming and delicious. We ate here for lunch while we were in town for our honeymoon. The restaurant was converted from an old house and has a wonderful story about a dog named Poogan. The decor is quaint; atmosphere intimate and cozy. The best thing here is the huge melt-in-your-mouth biscuits they bring you before you meal!... more

My wife and I ate there for dinner. Hot biscuits with honey butter were excellent as were the fried green tomatoes. My crab cakes were plain, no lump crab, just okay. My wife had salmon with fried grits - much better entree than the crab cakes. Bread putting for desert was very good. more

My husband and I first dined at Poogan's Porch in 1980, on our first trip to Charleston. We went again last weekend and had dinner there and it was just as lovely an experience as it was 28 years ago! The homemade biscuits and hand churned honey butter were to die for! We both enjoyed our meals and our server... more

Sunday afternoon in Charleston..... we kept finding restaurants that were all breakfast items. Stumbled onto Poogan's Porch and that was the right place to be! Yes, one could order omelettes or pancakes, but we were ready for something different. Loved the old south atmosphere, service was great, and the food was excellent. My husband was reluctant to try collards, but... more

We went to Poogan's Porch on our first trip to Charleston six years ago (our honeymoon) and enjoyed it, though I don't remember much about that first encounter - only that it was positive enough for us to want to return to the restaurant on our recent trip. This time we had lunch there at about 11:50 on a weekday... more

Poogan's is now an annual stop during our girls weekend in Charleston. The food is delicious, the service is great and dining on the porch makes for a relaxing evening. I especially appreciate the history of the building and the stories of the sisters who lived there. Try the ravioli and the punch cocktails - delicious! more
