Other finalists: Danica Sinclair of The Refuge, Stephen Touchberry BEST SHRIMP ’N GRITS What more can be said about this five-time Best Of winner? Maybe that Page’s Okra Grill has a house specialty that people buzz about far outside the confines of the Lowcountry. The shrimp and grits have a national reputation and taste all their own and have been featured on the Travel Channel and in Southern Living magazine. Most exciting, they are chosen best by their own community time and time again. Other finalists: Grace and Grit, Acme Lowcountry Kitchen BEST STEAK Having the best steak in Mount Pleasant is no mean accomplishment. But Langdon’s classic fine dining is a perennial favorite. Led by Chef/Owner Patrick Owens, Mount Pleasant’s only AAA Four Diamond restaurant fuses Lowcountry and global flavors with warm hospitality in a refined, contemporary setting. That’s something to sink your teeth into. Other finalists: Red Drum, Opal Restaurant and Bar BEST SUBS Mount Pleasant loves it “Mike’s Way!” Jersey Mike’s subs are made so simply, efficiently and commonly that it’s sometimes easy to take the quality for granted. But whether you prefer their Original Italian, Jersey Shore’s Favorite, Famous Roast Beef and Provolone, or just the time-honored American Classic, you can taste the excellence in every bite. Sometimes the best is also comfortable and convenient. Other finalists: Primo Hoagies, Publix BEST SUSHI We love rolling with Locals! This unique sushi, often fused with a host of ethnic influences, is unlike anything ever tasted. The food can stand on its own, but the fact that it’s paired with an atmosphere crafted just for the good ol’ guys and gals of the town puts the wasabi on top. Shhh…we think the tourists are catching on! Other finalists: Fuji Sushi Bar, Wasabi BEST TAKEOUT The accolades continue to pile up for SAVI Cucina + Wine Bar.
