“Delicious food, large portions and more than reasonable prices with excellent customer service!! The Seafood Platter is Delicious!!“

“To say the Sweet Shop is an iconic legend in Mt P is an understatement!! You won't find better food anywhere at any price for what's on his menu. As restaurants come and go I can't think of any other that's still in business after 30+ years.“

“I'm still pinching myself after dining at Grandma's Kitchen! This soul food haven is a game-changer, and I'm not just saying that because the food is out of this world (although it totally is). The real magic happens when you step inside and are enveloped by the warmth and love of the three grandmas running the show. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like family. The grandmas greeted us with big hugs and smiles, and it felt like we were sitting down to Sunday dinner at our own grandma's house. The service was top-notch - attentive, friendly, and with just the right amount of sass. But let's get to the food - oh. my. goodness. The fried chicken was crispy perfection, the mac and cheese was creamy heaven, and the collard greens were so tender they just melted in my mouth. And don't even get me started on the cornbread... it was like a taste explosion in every bite. What truly sets Grandma's Kitchen apart, though, is the love and care that goes into every dish. You can taste the difference when food is made with heart, and these grandmas clearly pour their hearts and souls into every meal. If you're looking for a dining experience that'll make you feel like you're sitting on the porch with your favorite grandma, look no further than Grandma's Kitchen. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!“

“Nice lunch with family, everything tasted great! The staff is so kind, truly a family atmosphere. Will visit again when in town. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“First let me start with the service the owner is incredible and so is his staff they were helpful,accommodating, and absolutely wonderful. Second the food was amazing I got twelve wings and they were some of the best I’ve had in Charleston. Jumbo (absolutely huge) cooked perfectly and beautifully sauced. Would recommend to anyone near and far“

“The seafood egg roll and crab cakes stuffed with shrimp was really good. Also had Mac n cheese and Lima beans. Huge portions so could not eat it all but I really wanted to. Their sweet tea was perfect for this GA girl. Definitely on my list for revisits.“
