The Best Brunch Spots in Charleston for a Bachelorette Group

Why Charleston for Brunch

Charleston has turned brunch into a full contact sport. You get biscuits that actually taste like butter, shrimp and grits that set the bar for the genre, and courtyards covered in wisteria.

Most of these rooms fill up by 10am on a Saturday. Book ahead for any group over 4, especially in peak season between March and June.

The Best Brunch Spots

Poogan''s Porch

Best for: First morning of the trip | Price: $25 to $40 pp

This 1888 Victorian house has been serving brunch for over 40 years and still feels like your grandmother''s dining room if your grandmother made excellent fried chicken.

Order this: Buttermilk fried chicken and waffles ($22), she crab soup ($14), and the bloody mary flight ($18).

"The biscuits alone are worth the trip. We had a group of 9 and they sat us in a back room that felt like we had the whole place to ourselves." Google Review

Millers All Day

Best for: Low-key recovery brunch | Price: $18 to $30 pp

Right on King Street and the easiest walk from most hotels. The biscuit sandwiches and stone-ground grits bowl are both reliable, and the frozen grit spritzes are a low-stakes hair-of-the-dog.

Order this: Shrimp and grits ($19), benne seed biscuit with jam ($6), peach mimosa ($11).

"Got there at 9am on a Saturday with 7 girls and walked right in. Not the fanciest but honestly exactly what we needed after Friday night on King." Reddit

Park and Grove

Best for: The group photo brunch | Price: $28 to $45 pp

Tucked just off King on Radcliffe Street with easier parking than anywhere downtown. The patio is covered in string lights, which photographs well at any hour.

Order this: Lemon ricotta pancakes ($17), smoked salmon toast ($18), and the espresso martini ($15).

"Stunning space, attentive server, and the brunch cocktails were the best of the trip." Google Review

Hominy Grill

Best for: Classic Lowcountry | Price: $20 to $32 pp

A Cannonborough fixture and the reason most out-of-towners think they understand shrimp and grits. Bottomless mimosas are available on weekends.

Order this: The Big Nasty biscuit ($13), shrimp and grits ($18), bottomless mimosas ($18).

"Unpretentious, delicious, and the mimosas kept coming. If you want real Lowcountry cooking, this is it." Google Review

Post House Inn

Best for: Day trip across the bridge | Price: $30 to $48 pp

Worth the 15-minute Uber into Old Village Mount Pleasant. The courtyard under the magnolias is the best outdoor brunch in the Charleston area and a good excuse to slow down on day 2.

Order this: Crab Benedict ($24), whipped ricotta toast ($16), and the French 75 ($14).

"Worth every mile of the drive over the Ravenel. We made a full afternoon out of it and caught an Uber back." Reddit

Frannie and The Fox

Best for: Something a little different | Price: $26 to $42 pp

Inside The Emeline hotel. Italian-leaning brunch with wood-fired pizzas available early, which is a godsend on a rough morning. The courtyard is small but cute.

Order this: Breakfast pizza ($22), lemon poppy pancakes ($15), Aperol spritz ($14).

The Darling Oyster Bar

Best for: Raw bar brunch | Price: $30 to $55 pp

Oysters, caviar tots, and lobster rolls for the group that wants to go a little harder on Saturday. Book the bar seats if your group is 4 or fewer.

Order this: Dozen Lowcountry oysters ($30), caviar tater tots ($22), and the brunch martini ($16).

Planning Tips

• Reserve every brunch at least 2 weeks ahead for groups of 6 or more.
• Most spots will not seat incomplete parties. Put one person on arrival duty.
• Walk between reservations if you can. Parking in downtown Charleston on a Saturday is a boss fight.
• If you want bottomless, confirm when you book. Not every spot offers it and some cap the window at 90 minutes.
