Best Brunch and Mimosas: Acme Lowcountry Kitchen |

For a leisurely, yet indulgent brunch with friends or family, Acme Lowcountry Kitchen is a top choice. Known for its delicious Southern cuisine and vibrant atmosphere, Acme offers a brunch menu that warrants consideration, planning and daydreaming! For those who crave a larger, more traditional breakfast creation, we recommend the “Triple Dog Dare!” - This “Big Mac” of Biscuits comes with sausage, bacon, eggs & cheese, smothered in smoked Gouda Cream with grits, home fries or sliced tomatoes! For guests wanting a meal more closely resembling a lunch entree - the Fried Pecan Chicken with collard greens, bacon jam, fried eggs & regular grits might be more your speed!Pair your meal with a refreshing mimosa or a local Charleston Bloody Mary for the perfect start to your day. Brunch here is an experience you won't soon forget!

Breakfast All Day: Long Island Café |

While primarily serving guests during lunch and dinner timeframes, we recommend saving a place on Sunday mornings for brunch at this Isle of Palms hot spot!
