Charleston Restaurants: Burgers & Benedicts!

It is truly hard to believe that I have never been to Charleston South Carolina! I have read and heard so many great things about it! I love charming old towns and now live within driving distance in Atlanta Georgia. It is on my travel bucket list for this year and I am determined to make it happen! My blogger friend Natalie of Cosmos Mariners wrote a guest post on this blog on her Top 5 favorite Charleston restaurants and that also peaked my interest. When I came across this information on delicious burgers and eggs Benedict choices in Charleston, my mouth started watering! I wanted to share these Charleston restaurants with you in case you are planning a visit there!

Burgers:

5Church:

Chef Jamie Lynch’s signature 5Church Lamb Burger is worthy of a visit alone, made with red onion marmalade, gorgonzola fondue, arugula and Chef Jamie’s secret sauce on a housemade sesame bun.

Halls Chophouse:

With its home on the restaurant’s bar menu, Chef Matthew Niessner’s Halls Chophouse Burger is made with top-quality prime ground beef shipped directly from the Allen Brothers out of Chicago. Cheddar cheese and a side of parmesan truffle fries make Halls Chophouse one of Charleston’s best options for a post-work burger.

Eli’s Table:

The perfect combination of smoky, sweet and savory, Chef Jack Melson tops the Eli’s Burger with cherry smoked bacon, smoked gouda cheese and charred onions, served on a potato roll.

Old Village Post House:

Tucked into the quaint Old Village in Mount Pleasant, the Post House is a delicious option for brunch, lunch or dinner. Chef Forrest Parker’s 8 oz. Post House Burgeris hearty and soul-satisfying, topped with pimento cheese, smoked bacon and remoulade on a brioche roll.

Two Boroughs Larder:

Wednesday means Burger Night at Two Boroughs Larder, available every week beginning at 5 p.m. One of Charleston’s most indulgent burgers around, two patties are topped with Nueske’s bacon and smothered in mornay.

Benedicts:

Eli’s Table:

Serving breakfast every day from 7 a.m.-3 p.m. Chef Jack Melson is somewhat of an eggs benedict master, offering three creative options including the Lowcountry Benedict with crispy fried oysters and tasso ham gravy, the Shrimp & Grits Benedict with smoked gouda grit cakes and the French Onion Benedict (pictured below) with grilled sirloin, caramelized onions and texas toast.

Charleston restaurants

Virginia’s on King:

A King Street favorite for a Lowcountry breakfast or brunch, Virgina’s on King offers four unique spins on Eggs Benedict, all served on biscuits topped with poached eggs and hollandaise. Diners can choose from Spinach, Bacon & Fried Green Tomato, Country Ham & Collard Greens, Mushroom & Potato Hash and Crake Cake & Asparagus.

charleston restaurants

Caviar & Bananas:

Those looking for a quick, casual and affordable breakfast or brunch should head to Caviar & Bananas for its healthy-spin on Benedict- the Veggie & Eggs Benedict, made with vegetable-quinoa cakes, wilted spinach and fresh herb hollandaise on whole wheat English muffins.

Charleston restaurants

Toast:

A neighborhood favorite for breakfast and brunch with two locations downtown on Meeting Street and in Summerville, Toast serves a variety of spins on Lowcountry classics like its Eggs Meeting Street– fried green tomatoes topped with crab cakes, poached eggs and a Lowcountry remoulade sauce.

Charleston’s Café:

Serving breakfast all day every day, Charleston’s café serves a collection of indulgent benedicts with creative ingredient combinations like its Taste of New Orleanswith fried green tomatoes, Canadian bacon and blackened shrimp, Salmon with wilted spinach, sun-dried tomato olive relish and Amber’s Choice with crab cakes, shrimp and kielbasa.

High Cotton:

Chef Shawn Kelly’s Crab Cakes Benedict is a Lowcountry specialty at this East Bay institution, served with spinach, poached eggs and a creole hollandaise on grilled English muffins.

    Hi,
    Ohhhhh! One thing we miss so much about being back home is the ethnic restaurants in Charleston on our doorstep! My mouth is watering right now. These look even better than the original dishes!
    Restaurants always have their own secrets for dishes. Thanks for sharing! Thanks so much!

  • 🤣🤣. Just a reminder to still #maskup 😷and use your hand sanitizer and don’t travel if you are sick!

I have been traveling/flying about twice a month and I’m still surprised how many people are not wearing masks. People, kids, children, babies are still getting COVID-19 and being hospitalized for it. 

Get vaccinated, get your boosters. There is no guarantee that new strains won’t pop up. 

I am cautiously optimistic and I’m looking forward to finally doing more international travel but I plan to still take precautions. 

But can we talk about how funny and cool 😎 this @usher meme and performance is?!! Has anyone seen his Vegas show? Decades later and he is still an excellent performer! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

  • Martha’s Vineyard #ᴘʜᴏᴛᴏᴅᴜᴍᴘ 
Trying to focus on something positive & spread some joy on your timeline after the disastrous news yesterday. #roevswadeoverturned 😠😠

***Save & Share for your trip to #marthasvineyard 

Soooooo last summer my husband @parrishu70 and I rented a house 🏡 for a week in Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard. It was the most relaxing 😌 vacation! 

My first stop is always @lookouttavernmv for their warm lobster 🦞 roll. Trust me you will drool and it’s the biggest one I have ever had anywhere!! 

Our routine consisted of morning walks (or runs for him) along the beach 🏖, stopping for iced coffee and breakfast in town along circuit avenue @lindajeansrestaurant is a must!!!

Walking back home past beautiful gingerbread houses and yachts 🛥 (I need one in my life!) to pack up our lunches and snacks for the beach. 

Spending the afternoon on the beach 🏝 there are several to choose from all over the island (see my previous MV guide) or strolling around Edgartown with all the cute shops, discovering the lighthouses on the island AND we even went sailing with @bdtallships it was amazing! 

In the evening we relaxed, got dressed for dinner and headed out. If you love seafood this is the place for you. There are so many great restaurants and outdoor eating, romantic spots. 

Does this sound like a place you would like to vacation? I love #newenglandlife during the summer. The weather is perfect. No humidity! I’m hoping to get back there next summer. Head to my blog (link in profile) for more MV info!

  • #roevswade overturned by Frump’s Ultraconservative Supreme Court. As a physician I could not not speak 🗣 about this. I take care of patient’s till they are 21yo and so many will be affected by this ruling. 

Patients who are teenagers, patients who have been raped, victims of incest, who are not physically or mentally ready to become parents, who find out their fetus has life threatening abnormalities….they will be left without a choice…putting their lives in danger and/or traveling to other states in order to exercise their right to an abortion. 

Gun advocates often say-it doesn’t matter if they enact gun control laws because if a person wants a gun they will find a way to get one. Don’t blame the gun, blame the person. So if that’s the case, if a person wants an abortion, they will find a way to get one even if it’s dangerous and puts their life and the fetus’s life at risk. 

Make this make sense?
I am sick about this. 
I really did not think I would be around to see this law overturned. 
But here we are. 

How are you feeling about this?
