Please skip Poogan's Porch - it is seriously mediocre

Agree. I would even go as far to say it was terrible.

Overrated. Tiny drinks. I was underwhelmed.

Rodney Scott BBQ is awful.
Swig & Swine is a lot better.

What do you find personally awful about Rodney Scott’s? Serious question

Raw 167 for amazing sushi, Melfi's for Italian, Leon's Fine Poultry and Oyster Shop for an amazing lunch/brunch (the best fried chicken, salad, grilled oysters).

But your best bet is go to thestripe.com and read her Charleston guide. It's a wealth of information from a 40-something woman who lives there and eats out all the time.

Just doesn’t compare taste wise to other places close by. The sides are just gross. I have been to events he has personally catered and food was great. Scaling BBQ for multiple locations is hard to do.

Swig & Swine for whole pork, Lewis’s for brisket.

The sides at Swig & Swine range from really good (corn pudding) to terrible (collards); everything at John Lewis is excellent.
