Charleston, South Carolina

 

It feels good to be back on my blog after my long break.  I was extremely busy with finals, graduation and enjoying Christmas in our new home and with our family.  

A few blogs back I mentioned our weekend vacation to Charleston, SC in November, it was amazing! Whoever said Disney was the greatest place on Earth clearly has never been to Charleston, SC. For starters, I love, and I mean love, my Southern cooking. Which is why Ryan and I never go to a chain restaurant when traveling to some place new and we always like to find places off the beaten path or places the locals love. Everywhere we ate, we LOVED and will definitely be going back to visit.  

Hominy Grill

207 Rutledge Avenue, Charleston, SC 29403 

Ryan and I split the Fired Chicken Basket and the Pimento Cheese Sandwich and of course we had a nice big glass of Sweet Tea. We could not have been more pleased with the people, food and atmosphere.  

Toast
155 Meeting St Charleston, SC 29401
We ate breakfast here and it was probably one of the best we have ever had. Ryan wanted to go back for lunch and dinner, it was that good.

King Street Grille

304 King Street, Charleston, SC 29403

Amazing burgers!

Jestine's Kitchen

251 Meeting St. Charleston, SC

We had the fired chicken basket, cornbread and meatloaf. This was probably our favorite place to eat. We love fried chicken and have never had fried chicken this good! In my opinion, this is a must eat place.

Nick's Bar-B-Q

288 King Street, Charleston, SC 29401

We had the bar-b-q pulled port and fried catfish. At one point we were so full, but we kept eating because it was too good to stop.

Cupcake Down South

433 King Street, Charleston, SC 29403

Properly some of the best cupcakes we have ever had and it was the cutest little shop!

Market Street Sweets
100 N. Market Street, Charleston, SC 29401

If you love chestnut pralines, then this is a must stop place.

 We also took a boat out to Ft. Sumter, which was pretty amazing to see where the Civil War started. But I think we just had an amazing time walking all around the beautiful city with absolutely no agenda. Everyday we just got up and starting walking and stopped in random stores and places to eat. All of the locals were extremely pleasant and we enjoyed just talking to them.
