Halo was good enough to warrant another visit for lunch today, this time with my good camera.
Today I went for the Maryland Crab Cake sandwich. This is now my new favourite sandwich.
Almost all crab, with just enough filler to hold things together and carry the seasonings. For $8 you probably aren't going to find a better crab cake in the Charleston area (I haven't encountered one yet). Comes with house-made potato chips, pickle and topped with a pickled okra. The crab cake comes in a large round pretzel roll which makes eating it sandwich style kind of tricky without having crab cake smoosh out the sides. I just ate it piece by piece, starting with the top part. The crab cake is delicious, and something you'll want to take your time savouring. The relish and crab bits that fell out were wrapped up in the lettuce burrito style. Then polished off the bottom half of the roll.
If you're in the area, it's a great place to stop for lunch. It gets pretty busy around noon for the lunch rush, but you can always call ahead and place your order. There's plenty of seating upstairs where it's a lot quieter.

This was an exceptional culinary experience for lunch with my wife. My crabcake sandwhich was filled with tender, delicious crab meat and accompanied by a down-home tasting potato salad. As for my wife, her Sassy Reuben sandwhich brought a very pleasant smile to her lovely face. We sat outside on the upstairs porch, which finished off an incredible meal with a cool breeze and warm sun. And just when I thought it couldn't get any better, we sampled a slice of NY style cheesecake. Wow, absolutely the best ever...rich, smooth and out of this world with the strawberry flavor on top. Can't wait to enjoy another interlude with my wife over lunch at Halo!
