Eating Out?

It's Friday and we thought that would be a great time to highlight a restaurant located near our new neighborhood Foster's Glenn on Johns Island.

Our pick today is Fat Hen Restaurant - a place that prides itself on it's Lowcountry inspired French cuisine and fresh, local ingredients.

The Fat Hen is located at 3140 Maybank Hwy. Chef and Owner Fred Neuville is the founding chef and partner of several favorite Charleston restaurants.  He and his wife decided to go out on their own and open The Fat Hen Restaurant and catering company.

Featured menu items include: Shrimp and Grits, Coq Au Vin, Salmon Bearnaise, Braised Short Trib and Flounder Nicoise. The restaurant also prides itself on an extensive wine list.
