- OTOpenTable DinerVirginia •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had an amazing meal! I had the supper juicy and crispy fried chicken and collard greens that were absolutely scrumptious. I also had macaroni and cheese but while it was good it was also pretty typical standard macaroni and cheese. My husband had meatloaf and mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy and he said it was also delicious. He tried my fried chicken and greens and said he did prefer that meal over his. That just shows how absolutely amazing their fried chicken and collard greens are! Definitely cannot go wrong with that meal!!!More infoVirginia's on KingPrice: Moderate• Regional American (Southern)• Downtown Charleston•4.6
- PPennyAtlanta •4 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoOne of the best meals I have ever had. I started off with the pear salad. It was light and absolutely delicious. I asked the waiter if I could substitute the sides to the short rib. I asked for mashed potatoes, green beans and fried onions. Not only was the food amazing, the presentation was beautiful. Chef layered the ribs and sauce on the potatoes, then topped with fried onions. He placed the green beans all around the plate. It was a beautiful presentation. My husband ordered the pork chop for dinner and he said it was one of the best. For lunch the next day, I ordered the pear salad again, and John had the shrimp and grits. Both were amazing. Thank you Chef Terrell Funney for delicious meals!More infoThe Swamp Fox at the Francis Marion HotelPrice: Moderate• Regional American (Southern)• Downtown Charleston•4.4
