Tucked inside H&L Super Market, Pho No. 1 is zero-frills, all-flavor dining at its best. Yes, it's known for its Vietnamese soup, but there are spring rolls and rice dishes on the menu as well.

Go here for take-out. Park Pizza Co. has the most extensive list of options in the Lowcountry. Pies range from the vegetarian Peter Rabbit to the Blue Angus with roast beef, blue cheese, and horseradish.

With crisp salads, local brews, snack plates, and some of the best pizza in town (let the debate ensue), swinging by EVO Pizzeria is a no-brainer. The Pork Trifecta is always a good choice, as it has a bit of a local cult following. Order a large and have leftovers for the flight.

Chinese-American restaurant Jackrabbit Filly comes for the minds behind popular food truck Short Grain. Corrie and Shuai Wang bring the flavors of Shuai’s childhood to the menu with some playfulness thrown in. Some of the offerings conjure old-school comfort food vibes, like fried rice with ham and pineapple or pork and cabbage dumplings. 

The Junction Kitchen & Provisions might be the last chance for a decent breakfast before hopping on the plane. This Spruill Avenue spot opens at 7:00 a.m., so early travelers can grab biscuits and gravy, bacon sandwiches, and creative takes on morning fare, like the Buzzed Doughnut.

Caribbean Delight brings traditional Jamaican fare to Rivers Avenue. The menu contains national Jamaican dish ackee and saltfish, daily specials from curried goat to stew pork to oxtails, and customary sides like festival (fried cornmeal dumplings), bammy (cassava flatbread), roasted breadfruit, and more.

For those looking for seafood, soul, or real-deal Gullah-Geechie menu items, Nana’s is the place to be. Mother and son team Carolyn and Kenyatta McNeil create Lowcountry classics, with local products. For a reasonable price, patrons can score a giant piece of perfectly-fried whiting, fried cabbage on rice, lima beans, and a sweet piece of cornbread — really, it’s enough for two people. The trick is to keep up with the restaurant’s Instagram feed to check when crab rice or garlic crabs are on the menu (two of the most popular dishes).

The last stop for James Beard-award-winning Southern soul food, Bertha's is a can't-miss. Those in the know go for the okra soup, crispy chicken, and fried pork chops.
