Best biscuits in Charleston, South Carolina
How do these rankings work?
1. Poogan’s Porch
Tucked down the side of Queen Street, Poogan’s Porch is among the absolute best go-to restaurants for excellent biscuits in Charleston. The Victorian home-turned-eatery is an homage to Southern fare and culture. Make a reservation to take a seat on the porch with a mint julep or Bloody Mary in hand at that.
2. Vicious Biscuit
This counter-service restaurant allows you to build your own biscuit with all kinds of creative toppings. There are spicy and sweet options, proteins, cheeses and so many other homemade toppings for a distinctive finishing touch.
3. Maple Street Biscuit Company
This casual, comfortable restaurant serves up some seriously fluffy biscuits. The fried chicken biscuit is always a popular hit, especially with a touch of maple syrup. Whatever you order, it’s sure to be a hit.
4. Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit
What started out as a tiny hole-in-the-wall on Upper King has now become a regional chain with several locations in Charleston and one in Atlanta. A counter-service joint, you can build your own biscuit with a few different toppings to choose from or select something from the menu. We love the spicy pimento cheese biscuit.
5. Sunflower Cafe
Family-owned and operated since 2005, this down-home eatery is pretty old school when it comes to southern dishes. You’ll find wonderfully light buttermilk biscuits, but order them with gravy for a real treat.
6. Millers All Day
Millers All Day knows how to pack a flavorful punch, and their biscuits are just about as perfect as biscuits can be. Get the crispy pork belly biscuit with blueberry jam for one amazing breakfast sandwich.
 7. Toast
This laid-back restaurant is known for its lively and friendly atmosphere. The southern fare is great, and the biscuits are even better. Order it alongside eggs and grits.
