Charleston City Paper readers have voted Jestine's Kitchen as serving the city's Best Fried Chicken and Best Sweet Tea.
From the restaurant:
"There is no better in Charleston for down-home, good old-fashion, Southern cooking. “Lunch, Dinner, Supper?” asks Jestine's menu. “Whatever you call it, we serve it all day.” That can range from the so-called Blue Collar Special of a peanut butter and banana sandwich to a big pork chop plate, fried seafood platter, or half-pound slab of meat loaf. There isn’t a nicer table anywhere to taste the time-honored coastal delights of shrimp and grits or shrimp Creole, as well as such stupendously seasoned Lowcountry vegetables as okra gumbo and red rice or the Deep South delight, deep-fried green tomatoes with sweet pepper relish."
Beer and wine available. Serving lunch and dinner Tue–Sun. Closed Mon.
"This is soul food at its best."
