We were in the need of a break from all the hurricane aftermath and potential flooding concerns for out county. So, we decided to go to a restaurant and take photos of what we enjoyed. Hey, this culinary adventure also provides huge stress relieving points! 

The recently opened Graham's Landing on Front was the place to be this Saturday evening. Even going around 5:30 p.m. wasn't early enough. The table tops were packed and there was a good wait for seating, however, the staff on hand saw to it you were taken care of. During the evening, as soon as tops were cleared, there were people to fill them in seconds. 

Front Street in the City of Georgetown is on a culinary upswing. The current restaurant lineup really is impressive and the folks who operate them should be very proud of what they have to offer.

With that, there's no question why Graham Plummer and his family saw the opportunity to jump in. 

Already known for Graham's Landing in Murrells Inlet, Plummer wanted to introduce the fine people in the city to his culinary renditions of tasteful dishes. From pulled pork to steaks to pizza - and yes, shrimp & grits, his plan was to welcome you to his table of food offerings.

For us, the table was filled quick with excellent dishes and there wasn't a frown - or empty mouth - in sight. 

The photos will do the talking, but I suggest you try the Grambo's Lowcountry Stew and Grambo's Shrimp & Grits. The stew is tomato based, with chicken and andouille sausage served over rice and topped with blackened shrimp. There's a little heat to it, too. It really is satisfying to the pallet. 

The shrimp and grits offering is a well portioned dish. Fresh shrimp and andouille sausage are plentiful with the cream, peppers and onions served over stone ground white cream cheese grits. Every spoonful melted in my mouth and the flavoring was succulent. 

Service was awesome as multiple staff checked on each table. 

Enjoy the photos below and tell'em we sent you. 

Got here around 11:30 a.m. and it's a good thing we did. It was filling up rapidly as soon as we seated. Great lunch specials were on the menu. One was the gumbo - with chicken, andouille sausage & rice - and it was awesome! Seasoned just right with just a little heat for your tastebuds.

The perennial champion was also available - Shrimp & Grits! Always a crowd pleaser. You cannot go wrong with the Seafood Platter. The portions leave you satisfied. 

Enjoy the photos!  

Wanting some Mexican flavor today, we stopped in at Alfresco's Taqueria Y Cantina and we truly were served some authentic Mexican food!

Located at 816 Front Street, Jenny and her crew work tirelessly to provide a great dining experience. The building is small, however, there's outside dining to accommodate the overflow. And yes, today, there was overflow - even at 11 a.m.

The reason? Well, the food is just that good. Service is attentive and quick. It should be. Alfresco's standards follow through. 

Meeting Jenny today was such a pleasure. She introduced herself to us and made sure our meal was great from beginning to end. 

Oh, and they have glass-bottled Coke. Hard to find that in restaurants these days. Plus, an assortment of  Jarritos Mexican soft drinks. I chose the Mandarin flavor. My first time ever having Jarritos and I loved it. 

The soft tacos come in a set of three. And we had one with chicken, one with steak and one with pork. They come loaded. Really are a mouthful.

The gorditas were ordered the same way. Both the tacos and gorditas had loads of flavor.  The chicken empanadas were excellently prepared and the rice and beans made the dish wonderful.

Above all, the fajitas nachos were awesome! Loaded with beef and chicken, green, red and yellow bell peppers, onions, tomatoes and drizzled with cheese! This stole the show.

Go see Jenny at Alfresco's Taqueria Y Cantina; located at 816 Front Street, and tell'em we sent you! Enjoy the photos below as much as we enjoyed the tastes.

As soon as you open the front you're greeted with a packed room, busy servers and a barista churning out flavored coffee orders. And this was on a Sunday. That's right, I'm at Coffee Break Cafe on 716 Front Street.

Meghan and Ron Rader never have a slow moment here. The excellent coffee and superb breakfast and lunch offerings are why! And as busy as it was, it seemed all the customers were just happy to be there. 

What's great about Coffee Break Cafe is you have this out-of-town experience. The atmosphere, hustle & flow and smells took you to a place that'd be in the mountains. So, it's refreshing to know a place in town can take you to such a place without having to drive hundreds of miles.

​The Triple Deuce, pictured above, is plentiful as is it good. A hearty breakfast to start the morning off just right. The freshly baked Cinnamon Rolls with cream cheese icing is a staple point. A crowd pleaser for sure. 

And the South Island Omelet! Wow. You get what you pay for. And it's flavorful. Nothing greasy about it! 

When Meghan is not in the kitchen helping Ron, she's greeting customers and making sure their experience is wonderful.

And, for that, she guarantees your stop on this culinary adventure of Georgetown, South Carolina, will be one to remember.  

Wow. Whether it was the Harborside Chicken (pictured above) or the Giant Meatball, you were sure to be satisfied. 

People still ask about Harborside Seafood and Italian. Does it it exist? Is it a myth? 

Yes and no. The restaurant is real and the only myth here is a bad meal. 

Owner and Chef Chris Mitchel is master in his craft. Tucked away on the harbor where Portofino's and Five Rivers Tavern called home, he's preparing tasteful dishes. The problem is many people still do not know he's there.
​
We hope this helps to fix that. Harborside is truly a restaurant that should be part of your culinary adventure of Georgetown County. Take a look at the dishes we enjoyed and go visit Harborside Seafood and Italian! They'd love to have you. 

As Sweeties Sweets celebrates 12 years in Georgetown at 707 Front Street.  Skip says he needs a new ice cream machine. The new machine would be considerably more efficient and dependable. It would allow him to make even more frozen treats to tempt you.

We are exploring a novel approach to financing it. Resisting the conventional option to take out a loan or a lease and give a lot of money to a big finance company.  Since our business is somewhat seasonal, the typical finance option with fixed monthly payments would put a strain on us during the slower months. 

We have come up with the ultimate loyalty program for our dedicated patrons, a sweets 'Discount Club'. We are offering a full year of 50% discounts on all Sweeties’ products.  You will get a discount card when you purchase a $100 Sweeties Egift card for yourself through the end of June. You can then use the Egift card to shop at Sweeties getting the 50% discount.  The discount would apply anytime in store or by phone for mail order. You will continue to get the discount even after using up the gift card. The discount is for sweet treats for you and your family. The Egift purchase will be used to subsidize the cost of the machine. 

Skip says it really is a win-win!  You still have your $100 in the gift card and now you get all your sweets 1/2 price for a year! Sweeties gets a new machine to make even more frozen treats.  Wow, you really do make out sweet! He envisions you and your family getting your ice cream and other sweet treats, then at the checkout you present the discount card to get yet another sweet treat, a 50% discount.

Sweeties currently offers Veterans, First Responders, and some affiliate discounts. This discount would out rank all other discounts. It will not apply to SC-CARES merchandise. It cannot be used to purchase product for resale.

Do you enjoy going to a restaurant where the people there make you feel right at home? When the owner takes time to ask about your day while you order? Makes sure you have all you asked for before you leave?

Yes, I do, too!

They even deliver. 

They even have more than just pizza.

Also known as The Old Fish House, Big Tuna constantly works to please customers with its seafood offerings.

Not only can they sit you outside on the Harborwalk, but they can satisfy every taste bud in your mouth.

Take the seafood platter, for example. Look at the golden brown fried fish. The fried oysters. The fried shrimp. All flavorful. Will not disappoint.

The shrimp and grits dish is truly for those with an appetite. This hearty meal will surely please.

Rollin Local blends exquisite combinations of sushi, freshly prepared to order. Nothing is overlooked when it comes to putting these fine creations together.

And, finally, a restaurant with hibachi-style meals without the showmanship. In the city! And, yes, a lower price, too. 

Be forewarned, though. You better call ahead or plan to wait. The place is packed on the nightly.
