About This Place

For those craving classic Southern staples, the Chicken and Biscuits exudes homemade goodness, while the Fried Cabbage consistently receives praise from patrons as an unforgettable side bursting with savory depth.

The menu is impressively diverse, featuring Lowcountry Ravioli, indulgent Seafood Alfredo, and a variety of satisfying meat-and-three combos, including the popular Pork Chops with Yams, Cabbage, and Mac & Cheese. And for dessert, you can’t go wrong with Nigel’s signature Banana Pudding or the classic southern Peach Cobbler, each bite delivering that nostalgic, sweet finish you crave after a hearty meal.

Sandwich offerings like the Ranch Burger with White Cheddar and Ranch or the Black & Blue Burger—topped with blue cheese crumbles, fried green tomato, and caramelized onions—bring a creative twist to soul food favorites, crafted with care and the freshest ingredients.

But it’s more than just the food that makes Nigel’s Good Food II stand out. Customers often highlight the warm, attentive service that makes every visit feel personal.

    This was a great place to eat. The chicken and gumbo were good. The side of cabbage was about the best thing I've put in my mouth. Kudos to nigel's for this food. Really good, borderline amazing. Good wait staff as well. Thank you for the food

    I was in South Carolina visiting family and one of my request was to get eat Authentic Soul Food. We look it up and Nigel’s popped up when we were visiting Charleston. WOW!!! What a great experience. I’m not a wing girl BUT the Geechie wings were 100/10!!! The flavor and the light crisp were sooo soo good! The fried steak with the gravy was delish, friend chicken and fried pork chop were so good too. We took the banana pudding home and that was 100/10 too. Our waitress was super sweet (sorry, I forgot her name) I also learned what Geechie meant and I now know what it stands for. I promise to go back when I’m visiting. Thank you

    The food was absolutely delicious. Everything came hot and seasoned, good portion sizes. Get the collard greens for one of your sides, SOOO good!!! The waiters and cooks were sweet and hardworking. A must-go spot in town!

    We stopped by Nigel's while visiting South Carolina with family and found this small town family restaurant nestled in a shopping center. They specialize in soul food and overall it was pretty good. I tried the fried chicken, mac and cheese, mash potatoes and greens - all of it was solid and the prices were even better, especially if you're planning to enjoy a drink. The sweet tea was a little too sweet for my taste, but our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, my family was satisfied and if find myself in this town again, Nigel's would be a good spot I'd return to for a satisfying meal.

    The food is good and the service is great as well. His Auntie is the best. She made sure my order was on point at the Hanahan location the week before and I ran into her again a week later at the Ladson rd location. Same great service!!

    Really enjoyed the blend of flavors and textures in this wonderful soul food. We had Low Country Ravioli with a side of Texas Toast and country-fried pork chops with 3 sides (collard greens, mac and cheese, and corn bread). Washed it down with house-made sweet tea. It really hit the spot! Thanks to our waitress, Misty, for her efficient, friendly service. Word of advice: This is a very popular diner so eat early before they run out of any items.

    This was our first time visiting Nigel’s and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! I had the stewed chicken with red rice, mac n’ cheese and collards. Ya’ll! Fire! It’s a nice cafe vibe with a staff that was very attentive, engaging and personable! This will NOT be our last time visiting.
