Poogan's Porch Charleston Reviews
Still making Southern comfort food
We stopped in for a small bite before an early dinner. Nothing small here! The fried chicken sandwich had an extra piece on top of the bun.. it was clearly big enough for splitting. Everyone loved it and talked about it for days. I had a hash w/ r
Wow- while in Charleston do not miss this gem.
My biggest piece of advice is make sure you come hungry! My partner and I met some Charleston friends for brunch and they shared it is one of their favorite spots. The restaurant itself is huge- as each floor of the old home has its own vibe and old
Not worth the hype
Our waitress, Emily was great but the whole experience was so-so. I had the fried chicken and it was too spicy for my taste, even without the hot honey. My husband had the swordfish and he said it was very good. We were seated upstairs in a room that

This is a cute little spot that feels like a Charleston staple. We didn't have a reservation but they were able to accommodate our family of 8 for lunch which was super nice. My husband and I sat at the bar and got a drink while we waited for ou
Great little Brunch spot.
..loved the music and ambience. Servers were very attentive...kitchen was a bit slow.
Horrible Food.
I ordered 2 dishes. Shrimp & Grits and Chicken & Waffles. I had to try the shrimp and grits because apparently it the best. It was not good. I had a couple of shrimp and some grits. I had to put that one aside. I figured I have the Chicken &

Shrimp & Grits was good but the Wedge salad lacked flavor and umph! Good service and the waitress recommended fried Pimento balls which indeed were tasty.

Biscuits were the "bread bowl" and were delicious! Atmosphere was nice on the patio. Food was very tasty! We had the pimento cheese fritters, redfish, and chicken and dumplings. Only complaint is that the temperature of the food was w

We had a Sunday brunch at Poogans today and had a lovely experience. Delicious hush puppies and fried green tomatoes to start along with their biscuits and sweet cream butter and honey. Hash and chicken and waffles were both phenomenal and the bourbo

We visited Poogan's Porch in downtown Charleston for a family birthday dinner on 9/5/25, and it was wonderful! Parking was a breeze with a garage just steps away from the restaurant. We were seated upstairs, which had such a cozy and charming at

We walked in and the place was so southern, such a cute atmosphere. We ordered and the wait was a bit long, 30 minutes, but the biscuits they bring to the table made it better. The service was really nice, she kept coming over and asking if everythin

I am honestly surprised after seeing so many great reviews, because our experience at Poogan's Porch was very disappointing. The only highlights were the wedge salad and she-crab soup. The shrimp and grits were mediocre at best--tepid, bland and
Excellent Brunch
Wonderful Brunch. Dante, our server, helped make the meal very enjoyable. The Fried Green Tomatoes with Crab Salad were great. The Smash Burger and Shrimp & Hrits were very good.
Great food, bad service
The food was excellent. Service was non-existent. The pimento cheese fritters were creamy and crispy. The bacon jam was a nice compliment. The swordfish was meaty and had a good amount of citrus. I sat at the bar and other then taking my order and br
Incredible breakfast! Couldn't have asked for a better meal
Incredible breakfast! Couldn't have asked for a better meal or recommendation. A must visit if you are in town! We walked in without a reservation and were seated on the second floor of the building - which is a former house that has great histo
Good place. Gets busy.
Chicken and waffles was very good. Salad was good. Asked for dressing on the side which was a good idea. Had to wait about 1/2 hr for lunch table. No tap beers.
Good Southern Food doesn’t have to be soggy or mediocre!
I’ve never understood Poogan’s appeal as they serve great quantities of mediocre food, consistently. We’ve brought folks visiting us here- at their request not our recommendation. The last time the Fried Green Tomatoes were not soggy, a surpri
Charming with great food and service
Great location and charm here! We stayed right across the street at The Mills House Hotel so we had to check out Poogan’s. Loved learning about the history of the house turned restaurant before going there. It was easy to get a reservation the day
Super disappointing
I was really disappointed with this restaurant based on its reputation. The fried green tomatoes are heavily breaded and overly fried and served with an overwhelming curry relish on top. A definite miss for me, The crap soup was okay - lots of cra
Classic Southern Food
They were out of a few drinks, which was disappointing, but we enjoyed our meals. My husband said his fried chicken was perfection, and I thought the shrimp and grits was very good. The banana pudding was so good I just kept eating until my stomach h
Horrible
I wish I could have given zero stars. Had a reservation at 8:30, white folks who had reservations at 8:45 (same party size as ours) got seated, we waited and waited for 30mins and then on asking what’s going on - an extremely rude and racist manage

I've heard so many people rave about Poogan's Porch, but I was slightly disappointed by my experience. Next time I'll have to make a reservation outside to see if the ambiance hits differently, but the inside decor is average at best. When evaluati

The service was good, but we did not enjoy the bland "southern" food. Fried green tomatoes - bland but tasty with bacon jam She crab soup - just ok Sweet tea salmon - overcooked salmon, undercooked beans in succotash Fried chicken - chick
Good food but not exceptional
Our food was really good and we'd go back but it's loud and crowded. We had to wait 15-20 min even with a reservation. Breakfast is kind of hard to do badly, especially in Charleston.
Great breakfast spot in Charleston, close to the waterfront
Great breakfast spot in Charleston, close to the waterfront and the famous pineapple fountain, try the fried green tomatoes and the grits are excellent!
Delish
Great service. Blue crab tip was comfort food. Shrimp and grits was a big portion. Need a reservation, at least on weekends.
Absolutely not.
Highly overpriced, food was just ok, very long wait for meal to be served.
Delicious fried chicken and shrimp and grits! Huge
Delicious fried chicken and shrimp and grits! Huge portions and nice wine list. Lovely old south atmosphere with a real front porch. Service by Zachary was right on target. He gave good suggestions, food arrived in a timely manner and he was just
Oh Charleston, at this point you can do no wrong.
Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that Charleston has some of the best food the states have to offer. But you are never fully prepared for amazing food, are you? Poogans Porch is southern comfort food set in a historic home. Charlest
Disappointing
Opted to drop in for a quick meal and having been to Charleston numerous times, we just never made it to this long standing, landmark restaurant. We were greeted warmly and showed to a table promptly. The venue itself is rustic but we were comfort
It was OK, just had eggs and sausages with biscuits.
Biscuits weren't any big deal. Cute place though! My sister had an open-faced omelet, she didn't think much of it either.
Fabulous dinner
Fabulous service, atmosphere and food! In town for a conference and had a delightful dinner at Poogan’s. Appetizers were delicious. Cheese fritters were a table favorite! The Pecan Old Fashioned was perfection. Mahi dinner seemed to be the best ent

Monday evening, no available seating for @ 1 hour.
But, boy oh boy was it worth it! The service was excellent. The food was absolutely amazing. We had the crab dip, the house salad, and the lamb shank. Amazing!
Great Food and Southern Hospitality
Wonderful service and amazing food. I highly recommend making a reservation for the balcony. The setting was perfect and we got to watch people and carriages go by as we ate.

Nice Charleston Vibe
Friendly staff and cute location. Enjoyed the sunny dining area and large booths. Went for an early dinner and no problem with reservation time. Unfortunately food did not live up to reviews. The shrimp and grits was fine, not the best in Charleston
Southern Comfort Food
Located in a quaint house on a beautiful street! Delicious authentic southern cooking. Shrimp and grits. Fried chicken. Hoppin’ John. Good value. Friendly staff. Definitely ecommend!
Yum!
Fried chicken sandwich on the upper porch! This little gem is an experience. From the old house to the southern service. My wife and I split the sandwich and it was plenty, along with an Eye opener and Pecan Old Fashioned (a very unique twist on an o

Yucky.
That's my word for the whole experience, from condescending wait staff to a salad full of brown sand to being charged for the coffee that accompanied an inedible meal I sent back three times (!), the whole meal-less experience was just terrible. My s

Walked past this place a few times on my solo trip to Charleston. Decided to have breakfast on my last morning. Arrived when they opened at 9am and hostess wanted to seat me at the bar since I didn't have a reservation. Eventually was allowed to sit

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Poogan's Porch Charleston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Poogan's Porch Charleston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Poogan's Porch Charleston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Poogan's Porch Charleston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
