"The phrase "down-home" could have been invented for Hominy Grill, the least pretentious-looking restaurant in town—though the simple, white-walled dining room, with its ceiling fans and chalk-scrawled blackboards, belies a playful and well-curated brunch menu. It’s one of the more extensive ones in town, too, with an impressive array of heart-stopping dishes like the Charleston Nasty Biscuit (a decadent mix of fried chicken, cheese, and gravy) and a silky She-crab Soup. The griddled banana bread and sesame-fried Catfish grit bowl are stalwarts, and although the waffle with hot chicken thighs and strawberry syrup doesn't like it'll work, it sure does." - Paul Oswell
