Reviews for Poogan's Porch in Charleston, SC
Went for my birthday dinner and great experience. I got the steak medium well very tender to my satisfaction. My husband had... shrimp and grits were good but a little more on spicy side if you like. We also ordered wings as a appetizer pretty good, butthey are fried not as your usual appetizer wings. Would like to see more food options overall great experience and themanagement came by to check on us as well Read more
This place is absolutely amazing! The food is fresh and full of flavor, menu variety is just right and the staff is very... attentive. I would recommend making a reservation as space is limited. Their outdoor seating is dog friendly and they will treatyour four legged friend just as well as you! Amazing place, and a must stop when in Charleston! You will enjoy anything off themenu here!

We had an excellent experience here! We made a reservation which proved to be necessary as they were turning away walk ins. The... setting was nice and clean, just slightly cramped but to be expected in historic Charleston. The pimento cheese fritters were aperfect appetizer. Very creamy and flavorful (a nice change for this cheese stick loving girl). I had the chicken and wafflesand it?s no exaggeration when I say the BEST ever. Our server was fantastic, attentive and prompt and everything was spot on.We?d definitely visit here again. Read more
Had a wonderful lunch here this past Sunday! The restaurant has a small cozy homey cute vibe. There seemed to be a wait when... we got there so this must be the happening spot for brunch. The Fried Green Tomatoes was a great appetizer?the bacon jam forthe dip was so delicious! Really enjoyed the Shrimp & Grits (with poached egg for $2.50) and Country Fried Chicken?both hugeportions and very tasty! Our cocktails were great as well! Read more
Best chicken and waffles I?ve had. Crispy skin on the chicken, not overly greasy, and juicy meat. Waffles were also good, not... chewy/doughy. Egg white omelette is a very generous portion and hash browns that remind me of McDonald?s breakfast hash brownsbut way better! Really charming restaurant - inside of a house and good service from the staff. Highly recommend and would comeback! Read more
We had reservations and were seated promptly. The waiter, Brett, was so friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Our appetizers... were the fried green tomatoes and fried okra, both were absolutely delicious. The bacon jam was so savory and yummy. For ourentrees we ordered the house salad, shrimp and grits, and the pork chop. Everything tasted fresh and so good. The pork chop wasabsolutely delicious. I mean, possibly the BEST meal ever. Such an enjoyable atmosphere. I can?t wait to come back. Read more
My husband and I had lunch here on a Saturday afternoon and had a great experience. The wait was short and the service was... excellent. All the staff we encountered were kind and pleasant. We sat on the front porch and enjoyed the views of Charleston inperfect weather. They serve complimentary cornbread and honey butter to start ????. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and myhusband got fried catfish. Both were fresh with the perfect crispy texture. The flavors were yummy and balanced well. The frieswere also perfect and crispy/soft. I ordered a lavender martini which was delicious. You can really taste the vanilla vodka,which I loved. We would definitely go back! It was good vibes all around. Read more
Above average brunch - but it didn?t blow my socks off. The pimento cheese fritters with bacon jam were the first thing we ate.... These were my favorite thing we had. The fritters were fried well and the pimento cheese on the inside was perfectly melted. Thebacon jam was outstanding. I?d never had bacon jam before but I knew Poogan?s porch was well known for their bacon jam and itwas delicious. The texture was great - small bits of bacon with some sort of jam. It was perfectly flavorful and an excellentcomplement to the fritters. The complementary biscuits were good but not great. I?d say they were pretty average for biscuits.They felt a little too dense in my opinion. The main entree I had was the chicken fried pork chop. I thought the chicken friedpork chop was fried pretty well and I liked the texture and gravy on top. The grits served with the dish were good in my opinionbut I am not a grits expert so I have minimal experience to compare this to. The service was fine. A little slow but they tookcare of us fine.
