Page’s Okra Grill

Winner – Best Breakfast, Best Shrimp ’n Grits,

Best Dessert, Best Budget-Friendly Meal

here is a place where perfectly

seasoned shrimp bathes effortlessly in a bowl of

savory grits. Slices of hummingbird cake and

pecan pie sparkle behind a translucent glass tier

of sweet goodness. This beacon of culinary delight, located

at 302 Coleman Blvd., is none other than Page’s Okra Grill.

Family-owned and operated since 2006, the Southern staple

continues to satisfy the appetites of locals and visitors alike.

“It’s good when your hard work pays off,” said co-owner

Courtney Page, reflecting on the establishment taking top

honors in four different categories for the second year in a

row. “This market is tough. Charleston is a food mecca, so

to have people recognize us is such a compliment.”

A half hour before noon, and the kitchen is already

hopping with orders of crab cake sandwiches and BLTs.

Courtney’s sister, head chef Ashleigh Page, is hard at work.

All the while, the front door is continually opened by a

steady stream of enthused patrons.

“I find customer interaction most rewarding,” said Page.

“It’s great to be able to make their day better, whether it’s

by having a conversation or blowing them away with a

great plate of food.”

With an engaging yet laid-back atmosphere and

comforting dishes that delight taste buds, Page’s Okra Grill

continues to grow a devoted foodie congregation. Putting

slightly different spins on old classics, they source local

ingredients as much as possible.

Courtney’s latest favorite is The Chicken and Waffles.

Jazzing up this traditional dish by adding sausage, jalapenos,

roasted corn and cheddar cheese right into the batter, they

create a meal that is truly memorable.

“I credit our success to four things,” said Page. “Excellent

customer service, impeccable food quality, good value prices

and an atmosphere that feels like home.”

Next time you’re driving down Coleman Avenue, stop

where you see the oversized lawn chair and cornhole board.

Your stomach and wallet will thank you.
