Brunch makes every Sunday a special occasion. Whether it's the Easter holiday or just another lazy weekend on the coast, it's the perfect blend. Celebrate with your favorite foods and top it off with champagne or a craft cocktail.

Brunch enthusiasts love The Refuge, tucked into a corner in the Harris Tweeter parking lot in Isle of Palms. Their Weekend Tide menu overflows with delightful creations like baked avocado and egg, stacks of buttermilk pancakes, and shrimp and grits. The coffee bar menu boasts an array of classic brews along with elaborate specialty options.
For something a little different, dive into a Grit Bowl at Acme Lowcountry Kitchen. Bowls can include fried pecan chicken, short ribs, or fried green tomatoes. Then there's the Holy City Hash with braised corn beef, roasted potatoes, red onions and fried eggs, drizzled with smoked gouda cream. Or you can go for more traditional Lowcountry choices like crab cake eggs Benedict, a blackened shrimp omelet, or fried shrimp over pimento cheese grits and collards. It all sounds delicious to us.

The Hemingway, a small, artisanal cafe near Seabrook Island serves simple, yet delicious coffees and meticulously crafted breakfast fare.

With all this filling, Lowcountry cuisine, you're going to want to pack the stretchy pants.
