For lunch we went to Hominy Grill. Many famous people have eaten there including Anthony Bourdain and Anthony Hopkins.  There was a line outside when we arrived. After about 20 minutes, we were seated. The menu was not as varied as I expected. We ordered a variety of items again including corn bread, grits, fried chicken breast, a red rice omelet and a fried pork chop sandwich with chili on top.  The signature dish there is the shrimp and grits, but that plate was $16.95 versus an average of $7 to $10 on all of the other menu items.  The food portions and service were good. The food was okay – but my expectation was to be “wowed” after reading many rave reviews online, and I was not.

Later in the day we signed up for a Ghost tour of the Haunted Old Jail. It is a long walk from where you sign up for the tour to meet up with the group, so we would recommend you drive or take a cab. Prior to the tour we had a slice of pizza at a small pizza place called Andolini’s in downtown Charleston and a margarita at Hacienda on King Street.  The margarita was 60 ounces for just $7.99. Warm chips and salsa are complimentary.  We did not order any entrees, but they were all reasonably priced.
