Fodor's Expert Review Hominy Grill
$$
North of Broad
American
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
The wooden barber poles from the last century still frame the door of this homespun café and Lowcountry landmark. Chef Robert Stehling is a Carolina boy who lived in New York; that dichotomy shows in his "uptown" comfort food. Chalkboard specials are often the way to go here, whether you are visiting for breakfast or lunch. From the tempting catfish po'boy to the andouille-adorned Lowcountry shrimp bog, it's understandable if you overorder.
