Breakfast of Champions

We don't know who started the belief that breakfast is the most important meal of the day; we also don't care. We're fully on board with that sentiment. It's not hard to be a breakfast lover while you're on vacation anywhere. After all, you get to trade in your rushed bowl of cereal for a vacation meal and EVERYONE knows vacation meals are the best kind...particularly when you're in the South, y'all.

We're talking grits, biscuits, crab cake eggs benedict, biscuits, bloody marys, and did we mention biscuits? If that sounds a little heavy for your breakfast or brunch style, fear not. There's plenty of lighter fare, too. Check out some of our top breakfast suggestions in this week's Where to Wednesday: Breakfast of Champions edition!

Acme Lowcountry Kitchen

Remember all those amazing Southern classics we were talking about? You will find them all plus SO much more at Acme. The Isle of Palms Eggs Benedict (served with your choice of home fries or grits, naturally) is a great way to #TreatYourself on day one of your Isle of Palms vacation. Look at that picture of it and try not to drool on your keyboard. Honestly, with Carolina jumbo lump crab cakes and poached eggs on an English muffin covered in hollandaise, what could be bad?

Feeling like you need a biscuit? How about the State Biscuit with sweet tea fried chicken (yes, they did) on a fresh baked biscuit, served with home fries or grits and a side of homemade green tomato bacon jam. Get it with a bloody mary and thank us later.

Plus, Acme is within walking distance to a ton of Island Realty homes and, of course, the beach. So you can walk right into the restaurant, eat to your heart's content, then nap off your food coma in a sunny spot on the sand.

 

Joey Bag a Donuts

Want to be the favorite relative at your family reunion? Sneak out of your Island Realty home and hop over the connector to Joey Bag a Donuts. Return with two dozen freshly baked donuts. Bask in the glory of an ecstatic family. Repeat daily.

 

The Refuge

Can't start your day without a cup of coffee? Never fear. While we might not have any well-known corporate coffee shops on Isle of Palms or Sullivan's Island—they're just across the connector if you can't live without your standard daily order—we have some fantastic, local options right here. Right now, we're loving The Refuge on IOP. With a killer coffee bar menu, pastries, and sit-down breakfast options, The Refuge has something for everyone.

 

Your House!

Nope, it's not a cutesy restaurant name. We mean it, you should eat breakfast at your Island Realty house! We have properties with kitchens that Iron Chefs would envy. Test your knife skills and whip up a gourmet meal for your gang! Or, have one of our catering partners cater a giant breakfast for you and keep the leftovers in the fridge to enjoy the rest of the week. We won't judge either way.
