BEST OF 2016
serves Westbrook on tap. But I’m willing to bet some of
them are Pinterest fans, too.
Second – Liberty Tap Room & Grill
Third – Triangle Char + Bar
Best Dog-FrienDly restaurant
Who let the dogs
out – and took
them to lunch or
happy hour? Our
readers did, of
course, and with
good reason. At
Red’s Icehouse,
pooches are
gladly welcomed
along with
everyone else.
After all, they’re a
family restaurant, four-legged members included.
Second – Dog & Duck
Third – The Shelter Kitchen + Bar
Best Deli
When my co-workers and I are looking for a quick and
delicious sandwich or wrap to bring back to the office
on a particularly busy day, we head to Mozzo Deli. Our
worker-bee readers are right there with us in the lunch
crowd. In fact, we got the idea from them.
Second – East Bay Deli
Third – Publix
Best Dessert
There’s an entire movement that says eating dessert
first might actually benefit us in terms of burning
calories. So if you’re planning to “spoil your supper,” as
my grandmother would say, join our readers at Page’s
Okra Grill, where the revolution could even be
televised.
Second – Liberty Tap Room & Grill
Third – Village Bakery
Best FooD truck
Imagine for a second that your favorite restaurant, just
like your Visa, is everywhere you want to be. That’s
how it works with the Coastal Crust Pizza Truck.
These guys are serving hot, yummy slices of gourmet
pie at a variety of spots in East Cooper.
Second – Lowcountry Creole
Third – Dashi
Best French restaurant
It doesn’t matter to the folks at Bistro Toulouse that
you only took French for a semester in college (and it
was just to sit near the cutie in the next row), and
now the only word you remember is “oui.”They’ll still
serve you an authentic, delicious meal, according to
our readers.
Second – Annie’s Bistro Francais
Third – Saveurs Du Monde
Best FrieD chicken
I once witnessed a fellow writer purchase a fried
chicken plate from Publix after she’d stayed up all
night, either writing or partying – I’m not sure which.
She said it completely revived her, and apparently our
readers feel the same way.
Second – Page’s Okra Grill
Third – Bojangles’ Famous Chicken ‘n Biscuits
Best Frozen yogurt
Our readers like to get creative; there’s no doubt about
that. And they consider TCBY to be one of the best
places to do so. With dozens of possible flavor
combinations, you can practically become the van
Gogh of frozen treats – except with both ears.
Second – DIYogurt
Third – sweet Frog Premium Frozen Yogurt
Best grocery store
Every weekday
morning, I go get
my breakfast from
Harris Teeter.
The ladies who
work that shift
know my name –
they practically
know my VIC card
number. With that
kind of service, I
can’t blame our readers for voting them the best.
Second – Publix
Third – Trader Joe’s
Best happy hour
Happiness pretty much never eludes us here in Mount
Pleasant. But in case it does, we knowwe can find it at
Water’s Edge, where, according to our readers, the
happy hour will elevate the most questionable of moods.
Second – SOL Southwest Kitchen + Tequila Bar
