Martha Lou's Kitchen

Tips

• Andrew Zimmern joined Sean Brock for a meal at his favorite place, this soul food restaurant. Andrew ate chitterlings and lima beans cooked with neck bones, pig tails, onions and sugar.

• I had the fried chicken, mac n cheese, candied yams, and cornbread and I loved it! I've missed soul food and I definitely want to make a stop next time I'm in the area !

• Charming, but largely uneventful flavors. Fried chicken was pretty good. The rest tasted meh. Bad day?

• Best fried chicken! The cooks are so friendly; it is like going to someone's home for dinner.

• The cornbread is the best in Charleston, which is why its on our list of The Tastes That Make the City: Charleston.

• Giblet rice was authentic! I had the pork-less platters. It was good to eat southern cooking minus the pork. The pork options were not lacking for all the piggy fans! Proteins are cooked to order!

• If it sounds good, it is. Cash only (or checks). Tiny, friendly, familiar, no fuss.

• The people who work here are very nice but I wouldn't go out of my way to get here, you can get fried chicken as good as this at a dozen other Charleston places.

• Food was good; especially the cabbage. They do not take cash so be sure to have some on hand or be prepared to walk/drive to the Exxon station.
