Looking for a few good casual restaurants to have lunch/dinner for our short stay this coming weekend in MP.
We are staying at the Old Village Post House so would like dinner close by, but can venture farther afield for lunch.
We'd prefer to avoid chains or dressy places - want to get a feel for the local flavor & it's VAC so don't feel like dressing up or spending hepas of money, but not looking for a Denny's experience either.
My recommendation is Mama Bown's on Rte 17, a few miles past the IOP connector on the left. It is a small place, very reasonable, and has very good southern food. You won't be disappointed!
Pages, Boulevard Diner, Mustard Seed, Setti, Waters Edge, to name a few in Mount Pleasant. Remember the Post house has a great restaurant run by the Maverick Inn group that also runs SNOB in downtown Charleston.
You must have at least one meal there. A few drinks, wine, after dinner drink. No need to worry about driving. Indulge, stumble to the room, share a shower, then.....a great time in Mount Pleasant.....LOL
Is it meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee............. but I do not get Boulevard Diner ?
I went there initially and it was ok.
Second time I had a burger and only had 1/2 and ate none of the fries as I wanted to take the 1/2 home for my son and the sweet potato fries.
Waitress came to pick up the plate.. I asked please to wrap the 1/2 up... not a problem, gladly I was replied to.
Then I literally saw her go in the back and scrap the burger and fries right into the garbage !
She came out with the check and I said........... ummmmmmmmm the burger, the take home container please ?
She said OOPS, sorry... and that was it.
I just looked at her.
She volunteered to have the cook make fries again and it will be a few minutes and she can wrap it up.
I said I wanted the other 1/2 of the burger. I would have eaten the entire burger but lost out and my son lost out.
She just starred at me.
Then said, I can give you a dessert to take home.
I was the one now starring at her...... did she not get it ?
I had various businesses... easily should have volunteered to make at the least another 1/2 if not whole burger.
But I heard nothing like that uttered from her lips.
I said No Thank You, we will just pay the bill.. no fries and no dessert.
Amazingly I still tipped her............ and I still wonder today why ?
I went again to the Diner and had specifically the Country Friend Steak... my all time favorite.
It arrived and I cut into it and chewed it... and it was all sinewy.. I kept cutting looking for 'some' meat part of it.
I am done with the place.
Maybe it is me... I just do not get the Boulevard Diner.
