newly created Berkeley County Community Relations Council (BCCRC)
dropped in for a bite. Each month, members of the BCCRC collectively
gather to dine at a Berkeley County restaurant to show their support.

movie, The Color Purple. Shugs offers cuisine to
satisfy even
the pickiest of palates. Signature dishes include: Seafood Platter
(fish, oysters, shrimp, Crab Ball with hush puppies, etc.), and pasta
specialties (alfredos with chicken and shrimp, ravioli with mixed
vegetables and shrimp or chicken, etc.). Shugs offers a variety of
American Style cuisine including steaks, chicken, hamburgers,
sandwiches and soups. Scrumptious deserts include homemade banana
pudding, cakes, pies, cobblers.
“We try to create an
atmosphere where the food is
great and people can come in and enjoy themselves,” says
Coleman, “I
invite people to come on out and give us a try to see what we do. We
are very creative with our cuisine.”

Wed-Sat from 5:00pm-7:00pm
