Restaurant recommendations... (Mount Pleasant, Ridgeville, Holly Hill: restaurants, food, rated)

[evilnewbie]

New to the area... heard Jim and Nick's was a good barbecue joint... not really into seafood... anyone recommend good restaurants to eat here?

[eversonsc]

There are TONS. Jim and Nick's is definitely good BBQ. I could be here all night telling you how many great restaurants there are in this town LOL

Oak steak house, Kaminsky's for desert....

The Mustard Seed, it's always worth a visit and very affordable. It's our "go to" favorite.

High Cotton, Hanks, Kaminsky's for after dinner..

Jim 'N Nick's is good (try the smoked turkey) but if you're looking for reeeally good BBQ, you'll want to check out Momma Browns in Mount Pleasant (more N.C. style vinegar/pepper), Duke's in Ridgeville (great pulled pork, hash and fried chicken), or if you feel like driving an hour head up to Sweatman's in Holly Hill - Anthony Bourdain filmed up there for an episode of his show.

There's a website that has all of the area BBQ joints listed - LowcountryBBQ.org

I'd say Mamma Brown's is LowCountry style vinegar/pepper. I've never tasted bbq in NC that is as sour as what you'll find at MBrown's. We frequent MB's for the sides...not so much for the bbq.

And vinegar/pepper is LowCountry style "Q". Most folks think the LowCountry means mustard, but the original sauce style is vinegar/pepper. Mustard migrated from the Midlands east from what I've been told.

Just to make the message from the above post clear...we really enjoy eating at Mamma Brown's. The people and food are great.
