The Deli at the Piggly Wiggly Grocery Store: "Do you want REAL home cooked southern food???" Top 5 Page for this destination Charleston Restaurant Tip by TheTravelingNerd

This is THE best deal in town by far...for about $6 you can get a huge southern meal that includes a meat, 2 or 3 veggie sides and cornbread and they give you ALOT of food. So here's the deal...just go to any Piggly Wiggly grocery store (downtown, west ashley, north charleston...where ever). The deli closes at 7 pm, but really get there before 6:00 if you want the best selection. So go to the deli where the hot food is...they have amazing southern meals like sausage and dirty rice, southern mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, fried chicken, southern fried steak, corn, mashed potatoes/ gravy, fried okra, fried catfish, baked apples, etc. etc. Just go up to the nice lady and tell her what meat and sides you want and whether you want cornbread or a roll with it. If you' re a vegetarian you could just get the vegetable sides instead. You won't believe how much food they give you and the best part is it's authentic southern food just like mama makes.

Favorite Dish: mac & cheese, sweet potatoes (aka candied yams), fried okra, fried chicken and cornbread.
