Best steak
It’s a well-known fact that the Aussies
make the world’s finest steaks. It’s also a
well-known fact that Australia is more than
8,000 miles away. So why not skip the 23-hour plane
ride and savor an authentic Australian steak at the
Mount Pleasant Outback Steakhouse?
Best Burger
The burger and the fry have been best
friends since America gained its indepen-
dence from Great Britain and chose to ditch
bangers and mash. These days, nobody reps the red,
white and blue better than Five Guys – so be an Ameri-
can and scarf down some of their burgers and fries.
Best Fried ChiCken
You missin’ momma’s chicken fryin’
in the kitchen? Missin’ that grease
poppin’ as your teeth crunch down
through that crispy skin and into the soft, white,
Southern paradise? Miss no more my friends; Publix
has the fix for your chicken twitch.
Best riBs
If the moon were made of spare ribs,
would you eat it? Well, if those spare
ribs were saturated in succulent
Sticky Fingers barbecue sauce, then the answer is:
Hell yeah, I’d eat the moon!

Final Results For Best of Mount Pleasant 2013
Best Food & Drink
Best seaFood
Want some fresh-from-the-ocean sea-
food? The Wreck at Shem Creek will
be happy to fill you up with clams,
oysters, shrimp, scallops, fish and all other sea dwell-
ing creatures, all the while providing customers with
a magnificent view of the Charleston Harbor.
Best BreakFast
For years, McDonald’s had the world
convinced that its Egg McMuffin
was the best breakfast in town. De-
spite all of the marketing geniuses that promote the
golden-arch breakfast, people have finally realized
that Ronald McDonald’s slab of rubbery Canadian ba-
con and an egg cooked into shapes that can’t be fully
understood just don’t contend with the breakfast
suited for presidents being served up at Page’s Okra
Grill in Mount Pleasant.
Best BrunCh
The key component to making your Sun-
day a fun day is a picture-perfect brunch.
There’s nothing like a heaping hunk of
fried chicken over a biscuit, smothered with thick,
creamy gravy at Red Drum to spark a fun Sunday.
Best BarBeCue
On the days you want to get your
hands messy while you eat, Home
Team BBQ on Sullivan’s Island offers
the sauce and the napkins. A local favorite for good
grub and live tunes, you’ll feel right at home even
with a dirty face.
Best asian
Mount Pleasant collectively rejoiced
when Basil opened an East Cooper loca-
tion – and the votes prove it. For a tasty
experience that won’t drain your wallet, Basil is a good
choice for lunch, dinner or even at 3 p.m., when you’re
tired of bickering with your co-workers and need to
escape to a bowl of coconut soup.
Best italian
Sette, the winner for Best Italian, has
left nothing more than the shadow
of a spaghetti noodle over our hearts.
