  • Southern

    A family-run soul-food kitchen in North Charleston, women-led for decades and a 2017 James Beard America's Classics honoree. The steam-table lineup that Garden and Gun singles out runs to okra soup, fried pork chops, red rice and lima beans, ladled out cafeteria-style at lunch. Go early, since the favorite dishes sell out and the doors close in the afternoon. It is Lowcountry home cooking held to a standard.

  • Fried Chicken

    This North Charleston soul food counter has served hand-made Gullah-Lowcountry cooking under family ownership across four decades, per the Post and Courier's A to Z guide to Charleston's influential restaurants. The steam table runs to fried chicken, lima beans and collards, cafeteria-style. Order the fried chicken plate with two sides.
