The Belmont might be known for their cocktails, but they make a mean meat (and cheese) plate as well. Patrons get several options to choose from, but the fun is in the accoutrements. Selections come with sides of olive oil, onion jam, spicy mustard, cured olives, pickled okra, and spicy green beans.

6. The Granary

Copy Link
624 Long Point Rd Unit L
Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464
Some slices of meat, some crusty bread, a smattering of pickles—what more could you want? You're safe in chef Brannon Florie's hands. Florie ages the meat beside the restaurant's dining room, so you can peer upon your selections before consumption.

Start your meal at The Macintosh with the sausage plate. The house-made offerings will range from bratwurst, to duck, to spicy lamb, but the outcome is always the same—mouth watering meat in your mouth. Served with toasted bread, whole grain mustard, and tangy pickles, it's enough to share.

The Two Boroughs Larder charcuterie board has some heft. You'll find large slices of different types of pâtés (the country version and the super smooth chicken liver) and wheels of grilled sausages covering the block of wood. Smears of mustards, a sprinkling of pickles, and crusty bread round out the dish.
