We visited Charleston about a year ago for a couple of days. We arrived around lunch time, and it was not noisy or crowded. Our waiter was very charming, and our food was excellent. The buiscuits were up to southern standard, and everything tased fresh and home-made. The fried green tomatoes were amazing, and wish we could go back again. more

If you are looking for some low country food with a cajun flair, go to Poogan's Porch. My husband and I went to Poogan's for the first time 21 years ago and never tire of eating there. The menu offers a variety of spicy dishes, but also has a good selection for people who prefer a dish without heat. You... more

My husband and I had our first meal (lunch) in Charleston at Poogan’s Porch. Our expectations had been set pretty high by friends who have been to Charleston. Well Poogan’s Porch lived up to it all. We sat on the porch which is adorable and started with the buttermilk biscuits. I must admit I don’t typically eat biscuits but these... more

We went to Poogan's Porch for Sunday brunch and it was yummy! Great grits, shrimp, crab gravy, wonderful biscuits, and great ambiance (we sat on the upper porch all by ourselves, feeling like "lords of the manor"), not to mention the touching "dog story." Friendly service as well. Very memorable breakfast in Charleston! Only complaint - my AAA book said... more

My wife and I recently dined at Poogans Porch while on vacation in the beautiful Chalreston, SC. Upon entering the charming house we were warmly greeted by a host and manager who promptly led us directly to our seat himself while spilling the details of the house and its spooky history. We had a very nice table in what appeared... more

I see the mixed reviews but our experience was anything but that. We sat on the porch and enjoyed a delicious Sunday Brunch. I had a Mimosa and the Eggs Benedict with Fried Green Tomatoes which were both fantastic. Everyone in our party enjoyed the food and our service was excellent. Overall one of the highlights of our trip to... more

While visiting, overheard someone in the Market taking about Poogans. With their recommendation, we went for a late dinner without a reservation. Seated promptly, wonderful seat in the "living room;" very friendly and efficient waiter. Shrimp and grits were to die for!!! Certainly we will recommend and revisit on our next trip to the Lowcountry....Keep up the great work!!! more

There are so many more better restaurants to dine at in such a beautiful southern town. My husband and I had dinner reservations here for my birthday, and the wait staff were all very rude and non=welcoming. The food was nothing at all to be remembered, and overpriced. Go to Jestine's down the street, you get much better service and... more

We had made reservations and were looking forward to this meal. The host was friendly and seated us right away with a pretty window view. Our server did not smile and was not friendly and all business. He did not share the specials the other servers in the room shared with their tables, he did not share his name until... more
