Florence's Lowcountry Kitchen
This December, us TastemakersCHS dined at Florence’s Lowcountry Kitchen for brunch. Their homey atmosphere usually filled with Southern paintings and splashes of pink got a festive boost of Holiday lights, Christmas trees, stockings and ornaments gracing every corner of the restaurant. The staff was so very kind and accommodating and the portions were GENEROUS, to say the least. We all left STUFFED to the brim, merrily full of mimosas and classic Lowcountry dishes.
Where to start on the entrée selection… the Shrimp Omelet was cooked to perfection and full of flavor (hello goat cheese). The Corned Beef Hash offered a juicy piece of beef, fried egg and skillet veggies all in one bite. The Jambalaya, which was packed and served in a unique sphere, was filled with shrimp, chicken, andouille sausage, Carolina Red Rice, veggies and Creole butter.
However, my personal favorites were the very classics that define Southern Cuisine- Shrimp & Grits and Chicken & Waffles. The grits were ever so creamy, the texture was spot on and when mixed with the Smoked Heirloom Tomato Gravy… I mean WOW. Top it off with fresh shrimp AND Lump Crab and you have pure excellence. The Chicken for the Chicken & Waffles was breaded in a heavenly combo of cornmeal and flour, which paired magnificently with the slightly sweet waffles. The honey butter and bourbon syrup were the cherry on top!

Their cocktail selection boasted Southern twists on traditional cocktails such as the Sweet Tea Mojito and Peach Sangria, while the mimosas (which are $3 all day, every day) were simply unbeatable.
For December, we teamed up with the Florence’s through our Charity Partnership Program to help support Catch Up On Lunch - a nonprofit that helps local students pay off school lunch debt. For every Granny’s Rum Punch sold through Jan. 12, we’ll donate $1 to Catch Up On Lunch!
