Bertha's Kitchen
North Charleston, South Carolina
Founder Albertha Grant might be gone, but the cooks at Bertha's Kitchen are keeping her spirit alive and well. Part of that might be due to the fact that they're her daughters, and possibly due to the fact that they serve up soul food made with the same love and care that made their mother's Union Heights haunt so popular. This fry house serves up a great bone-in pork chop, fried fish filet, and fried chicken, as well as heart sides like white and red rice, okra soupe, beef stew, and baked mac & cheese. It's not fancy, but it's not expensive, either, and if you want to experience all Lowcountry cuisine has to offer, you might want to start here.
