The Glass Onion is a popular restaurant serving delicious Lowcountry food, featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. The shrimp and grits are a standout, and the cornbread is a decent accompaniment. The restaurant is known for the very best pork belly, which is tender and melts in the mouth. The trout is also highly praised, with customers enjoying it alongside rice and butter beans. The interior may be no-frills, but the friendly service and prompt waitstaff make up for it. The atmosphere is kid-friendly, with crayons and paper-covered tables for drawing. The menu features amazing Brussels, fried green tomatoes, and shrimp and grits, as well as refreshing drinks like fresh pureed watermelon and vodka lemonade. A favorite lunch spot in West Ashley, The Glass Onion consistently impresses with its food, drinks, service, and music. Customers recommend trying the quail, available in one or two servings, and suggest asking for Thunder sauce for added flavor. The total bill is often reasonable, making it worth a trip out of the central city.
