Rolling into Bertha’s Kitchen in the neck area of Charleston is always easier than rolling out. After all, stuffing yourself with bone-in pork chops, mac ’n’ cheese, collard greens, sweet potato pone, and all the other soulful fare from the steam table won’t do your waistline any favors. But if you’re looking for a delicious down-home lunch at an affordable price, then head north on the peninsula until the parking lot full of work trucks and the scent of hot fried chicken draws you in. 2332 Meeting St. Rd., (843) 554-6519
