Whether you come by for brunch, dinner, or just a round of drinks and appetizers, Laura Alberts never disappoints. Its chef's fun take on Southern comfort food elevates traditional fare to fine dining status without eliminating the homestyle aspect of your meal.

Take one of the brunch dishes, for example. The kitchen team dresses up your typical egg breakfast with crab cakes and Boar's Head pesto ham when you order the Lowcountry Crab Cake Benedict, which is smothered in a lemon hollandaise sauce. The dinner menu, on the other hand, showcases everything from fried green tomatoes with pesto pimento cheese and fruit chutney to buttermilk fried chicken paired with parsley Carolina gold rice, caramelized onion pan gravy, bacon balsamic collard greens, and an herbed biscuit smothered with butter.
