"A signature dish of Charleston that is little-known elsewhere -- the lima bean supper. It contains a vast amount of full-flavored pork."
Michael Stern
"The custardy version of macaroni and cheese served at Hannibal's is a Southern classic."
Cliff Strutz
"Throughout the South, especially in soul-food restaurants, the listing of 'cabbage' on a menu doesn't mean just a steamy mass of bland crucifer. It is a porky fiesta that transforms limp leaves into luscious luxury."
Michael Stern
"Sweet potato pie has all the soft, sweet creaminess that you want to conclude a vividly spiced meal. We were so stuffed that we got ours to go and it fell apart in transit."
Michael Stern
"Turkey necks take some effort, but the meat retrieved is as luscious as poultry can be. In back of the necks is a heap of shrimp-fried rice."
Michael Stern
"Not your average franchised Happy Meal, but a soul food feast! Most of this plate is occupied by spicy okra stew with meat-laden neck bones and a couple of oink-flavored pigtails. At the left are hunks of deep-fried shark."

"The menu board on the day we stopped in: 12/31/12. Click on the photo for a readable view."
Cliff Strutz
"You can dine high on the hog in Charleston's sophisticated restaurants, but it's also well worth exploring the Holy City's humble soul-food cafes. Hannibal's is among the humblest."
