An Introduction to Poogan’s Hospitality Group
Cherishing a meal together is one of history’s most enduring traditions, and in Charleston, generations have dined with Poogan’s Hospitality Group, founders of the legendary Poogan’s Porch, Poogan’s Smokehouse, Poogan’s Courtyard, and the newest concept, Poogan’s Southern Kitchen. Our Southern upbringing has instilled in us a closely held set of beliefs: hard work, patience, and that a good story is best shared over a great meal.
Poogan's Hospitality Group is where classic dishes meet true craft and creativity; where the warmth is genuine and the caring is measured in small details; where casual comforts bring guests back and a nurturing work environment provides reasons for our team members to stay. By honoring these traditions, we have created our own brand of Southern hospitality.
