Mt. Pleasant, SC Food

Specifically, where can I find the best Shrimp and Grits.  We are staying on the Mt. Pleasant side and really I'd like to avoid the crowds of going into downtown Charleston if possible.

Any hidden local places that are amazing?

Oh my goodness there are so many great places. I don't ever order Shrimp and Grits down there, usually ordered that closer to home (Pawleys Island). Great places to go though One Eyed Parrot on Isle of Palms, Shem Creek in MP has great seafood, Jack's Cosmic Dogs - locals favorite and was an Alton show about how great they are! Charleston isn't really that bad, if you go I'd hit Hyman's Seafood, great! Slightly North of Broad, Magnolia's,

Charleston will be bad the weekend we are going (Cooper River) but I'm going back in August so I'll check out those then too

I live it Mt. Pleasant There;s a lot of road construction right now, but other than that a beautiful town!

Charleston Cafe on 17 has great Shrimp & Grits on their brunch menu

Red's on Shem Creek- great atmosphere and seafood

Thanks!  I'm compiling a list. I'm also hoping to hit up the smocked kids clothing store in MP while I'm there.  It is going to be a busy and expensive yet fun few days!

Sullivan's Island also has some fun hang-outs: Poe's and Dunleavy's. Not award-winning food but laid-back beach pubs.

RB's is next to Red's on Shem Creek and has good seafood.
