Family-friendly with
Exceptional Food
On Forty-One
Named after the strip of
roadway it resides on, On Forty-One
is conveniently located in the heart of
North Mount Pleasant – on the corner
of Highways 17 and 41. Boasting locally
sourced Southern food and a laid-back atmosphere,
a visit to On Forty-One is as
satisfying as a pitcher of sweet tea
on a Lowcountry scorcher.
“We were very fortunate to be welcomed so warmly
by the North Mount Pleasant communities,” said
owner and chef Brannon Florie. “I wanted to create a
family-friendly
neighborhood
restaurant with
exceptional
food. I think
we successfully
carried out
our vision of
backyard dining,
and people
responded with
overwhelming
enthusiasm.”
From the fried
chicken to braised
collard greens,
this is one menu
selection that will
keep you coming
back for more.
Florie offers eats at On Forty-One that receive rave
reviews from foodies who cherish the balance between
real Southern food and a perfectly executed dish. The
dinner menu includes fan favorites like the pork chop
with mac ‘n’ cheese and the pimento-cheese-covered
burger. In true Florie fashion, On Forty-One is sure to
appeal to everyone, offering vegetarian and gluten free
options alongside an array of decadent dishes.
“The menu at 41 is comfort foods that I grew up with
and stuff I have been cooking for years,” said Florie.
“Originally, I had a Mexican sort of concept in mind,
but, in the end, I decided to go with a menu focused on
the dishes I know and love best. I am especially proud
of our weekly specials, which are super seasonal and
showcase the freshest of local ingredients. My executive
chef, Doug Svec, is very creative, and this really comes
through in his weekly specials.”
This universal appeal can be found in the decor and
atmosphere of the restaurant as well. Guests have the
option to dine in the modern industrial-rustic dining room
or on the covered
– and in winter
enclosed – patio
or to venture
outside for the
real “backyard
dining”
experience,
complete with
picnic tables and
cornhole. Don’t
forget about the
patio bar, which
opens daily at
3 p.m. with
happy hour
food and drink
specials served
until 6 p.m.
On Wednesdays, they have Ladies’ Night all night,
where you can gather your gal pals for half off select
bottles of wine. Also adding to the festivities are live
performances by area musicians, such as Derek Cribb
and Morgan Llorens. They’ve also recently started serving
Sunday brunch from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
