Home Cooking
Real food made with love — from scratch, every day, right here in Charleston.
Our Story
Cooking with Heart,
Serving with Soul
Dorothy Lee opened the doors to Grams Specialties with one simple promise: every dish tastes like it came straight from the family kitchen.
That means no shortcuts. No preservatives. No rushing. Just slow-simmered recipes passed down through generations, prepared fresh each morning and served with the kind of warmth that turns first-time guests into regulars.
Located on Maccorkle Avenue in Charleston, our kitchen has been a neighborhood staple — a place where the coffee is hot, the portions are generous, and everyone is treated like family.

What We're Known For
Soul Food Classics
Crispy fried chicken, smothered turkey, collard greens slow-cooked to perfection — dishes that bring everyone back to the table.
Sunday-Style Sides
Creamy mac and cheese, candied yams, cornbread, red beans, and more — the sides that make a meal feel like a celebration.
Comfort Bowls
Hearty stews, rich gumbos, and soups simmered all day — warming bowls of flavor that hit the spot every time.
From Dorothy's Oven
Fresh-baked pies, cobbler, and sweet treats made in-house daily. Because every meal deserves a proper finish.
