Fried chicken, oysters, Southern staples & beer/wine served
"Two rules here: come hungry and with a craving for playful Southern fare. Meals start with bivalves from small, regional oyster farms, served raw with clever condiments like wasabi pea tobiko or grilled with beef fat mignonette. Moving on to the main event, the famous fried chicken arrives with biscuits, gravy, honey butter, sunchoke hot sauce, and pickles—and you’ll want to save room for macadamia key lime pie." - Lindsay Cohn
"Housed in a former 1930s-era grocery store, Culberson notes this Savannah staple is “Southern with a twist.” Spearheaded by Chef Andrew Brochu, who helped guide Chicago’s Roister to a Michelin star, this unfussy, uncomplicated spot offers fan-favorite classics like fried chicken, oysters, and wings. For a unique experience, attend the Sour Hour on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 5–6 p.m. for pickled apps and inventive briny cocktails." - Karen Norian
"Brochu’s Family Tradition offers a fun, no-frills dining experience with dishes like a whole chicken dinner, featuring fried thighs brined in chamomile tea." - Caroline Hatchett
"Brochu’s Family Tradition simply describes its fare as fried chicken and fancy seafood. Dishes include a whole fried chicken with biscuits and pickles, oysters served seven ways, salads, and creative snacks (try the cheddar rillette with puffy bread at least once). The restaurant’s flavors are served in homes throughout the Lowcountry, but here, they come with unique details from ex-Alinea Group chef Andrew Brochu. Walk-ins are welcome, but with this restaurant’s popularity, reservations are encouraged." - Elizabeth Bowers
"Hathcock has been doing butchery work for Brochu’s (2400 Bull Street) while developing other culinary endeavors." - Erin Perkins
