Another Southern comfort treat I had to experience in South Carolina. We were absolutely lucky to get a table at this place for brunch, at the prime 12pm Sunday afternoon time. Never dreamt I would have it in an authentic Southern mansion converted to a restaurant. We were seated on the 2nd floor and it was so spacious in this area. All I needed was a fancy ruffled dress with my parasol to fit this scenic day. And the meal we had was incredible that you would rarely get back in my home. The lavender strawberry fried donuts was so powdery and jam filled goodness, not too sweet that I was able to take multiple quick bites. I didn't go for the cocktails such as the **** Mary and mimosas but these were stylish and had a punch in citrusy and spices. The best from what my friends said that they ordered multiple in one sitting. My drip coffee was very strong and dark with the cute little milk mug jar given to me just like what you see in the Alice in Wonderland movie when she was trying to shrink to fit through the keyhole. Starters are down, let's go straight to the entrees. Fried chicken and biscuits with peppercorn gravy, with a second dish: pork belly, chili oil flakes and lemongrass fried rice. Both weren't shy with the punch in spices and crisp flavors. The runny egg on top of my pork belly dish made the flavors even more satisfying. The best topper to this dish. A fun last day brunch in a fun town. This brought a great last day to my time in Charleston. Happy to check out this recommendation from a local.

Finally completed my trifecta of Husk restaurants by coming to the original in Charleston for Sunday brunch. It wasn't too busy in the morning and I made sure to make the reservations a month in advance. The fried chicken was the star. Only the bones were left. It also came with some nice bread and butter pickles that had enough sweetness so definitely not like the ones you find in the store that is off putting to many. The biscuit was prefect and was perfect in-between a scone and bread roll in texture. We had banana bread as well. Perfect and the deep fried banana skin and the creamy topping paired well with the bread. Brunch drinks were also fresh, light, and tasty perfect to start the day. Service was very attentive and as each dish was brought to the table there was an explanation of each ingredient that restaurants of this caliber normally do.

My daughter booked this spot for our dinner for our first night during a girls weekend trip. The menu changes each day so we were so sure what we would order. Jeremy's recommendations were great and his service was top notch. We enjoyed the experience of the deviled eggs. These are not your typical deviled eggs that grandma makes. Deviled eggs, pappy, smoked trout roe, caviar, horseradish pickles. This was a whole experience with the appetizers. Next we had our dinner which my daughter order me the lamb and pasta and I order the super tender short ribs and grits. That cornbread, I will dream about that skillet cornbread. Get it if you get nothing else, get that, you will not be disappointed. Incredible atmosphere, outstanding service, and top notch food. Be sure to make reservations to ensure you do not miss out!

Husk is a cool renovated house turned restaurant that is known for having a different menu every day. Our group of three came in on a Sunday for brunch and it wasn't too busy, but I do recommend reservations. To start, we had the buttermilk doughnuts with lemon glaze and my friends loved them but there was something about them I didn't like. It wasn't the lemon glaze.. that was delicious. But idk I just was not obsessed with the doughnut taste itself. For meals, I had the fried chicken with honey drizzle and a biscuit. The chicken was so crispy and delicious and the biscuit was too. However, it did feel like it was missing some gravy. The mushroom and Boursin omelette was good but again nothing to brag about. My friend got the fried rice with beef short rib and an egg and that was by far the favorite meal of the bunch. It was delicious and full of flavor. Definitely order this if it's on your menu! Husk advertised their mimosas served with fresh squeezed orange juice, but unfortunately the drink itself just tasted like watered down champagne... bummer! The espresso martinis were my least favorite of the whole weekend because they were VERY strong and tasted like straight vodka until I stirred it a bit. Overall, the food was good but we liked a couple other brunch spots better but I'd be willing to try again with a different menu.
