Top 4 Shrimp & Grits in Charleston
Low Country's signature dish done right — Husk uses Geechie Boy grits; Millers All Day uses Marsh Hen Mill's Jimmy Red Corn. The rest is canon.
- #1
Husk
Downtown
“Bon Appétit's Best New Restaurant in America (2011). Geechie Boy grits, local beans, housemade sausage — the modern benchmark for the dish.”
- #2
Millers All Day
King Street
“Co-owner Greg Johnsman (Marsh Hen Mill) makes the grits from Jimmy Red Corn, a near-extinct heirloom he cultivated for eight years. Breakfast-forward shrimp & grits.”
- #3
Poogan's Porch
Downtown
“Charleston's oldest independent restaurant (1976). Shrimp & grits with andouille, peppers, and Adluh grits — the classical-Charleston preparation.”
- #4
Slightly North of Broad Restaurant
Downtown
“Chef Frank Lee's Low Country institution. Shrimp & grits with country ham, smoked sausage, and a tomato-based sauce — a staple order for 30+ years.”
