Charleston's legendary Hominy Grill has been talking of expanding for several months now...and we've got the details about what you can expect from the bigger and better establishment.

You may have noticed that Hominy Grill closed down last Monday to finish up the restaurant's expansion, and yesterday they reopened their doors to eager customers.

So what all has changed?

• A smaller patio featuring a shaded waiting area.
• A takeout window for ordering to-go food and drinks.
• A killer mural featuring a chicken.
• A new foyer equipped with a hostess stand.
• A new dining room that's sure to impress.
• More bathrooms (Ladies, hear that? No more waiting in line).
• New, creative cocktails such as the Cheerwine Negroni (yum!).
