Graze is a small restaurant packing big flavor, and the delicious food is complemented by attentive and accommodating service. Pair your meal with a mimosa, Bellini or bloody mary, and let the Sunday Funday festivities begin. Graze serves brunch from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on Sundays. THE MUSTARD SEED Crafting recipes using high-quality, fresh ingredients are critical to any restaurant’s long-term success, and it helps explain why The Mustard Seed, located on Chuck Dawley Boulevard, is a Mount Pleasant mainstay. Serving brunch from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Sundays, The Mustard Seed still packs in the crowds. I mean, let’s face it: Food don’t lie, y’all. So start your morning — or early afternoon — by ordering the buttermilk biscuits with sorghum butter and strawberry jam or a cup of corn chowder, then move on to the main course. If you’re in the mood for a little Tex-Mex breakfast mash-up, then try The Mustard Seed Migas, featuring house-made chorizo sausage, corn tortilla chips, cheddar and jack cheeses, scrambled eggs, tomato and avocado — all drizzled in warm verde sauce. The Mustard Seed does a fantastic rendition of shrimp and grits, and the Southern Benedict topped with a crab cake, fried green tomato, arugula and hollandaise paired with potato hash is another sure-fire winner. Sometimes all you need is just a really tasty burger, and The Mustard Seed has you covered there, too, with their American burger, simply prepared with the basics such as house-made sauce, pickles, onions and American cheese on — of course — a seeded bun. Add a fried egg and let that yolk-y goodness ooze over everything. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, and the owner, Sal Parco, and his staff are friendly and personable, which all adds up to create a wonderful experience. If you’ve never had a chance to make it here, stop in and try it; you’ll become a regular in no time. Photo by Tonya Brisson.
