Roxbury Mercantile Menu

At Roxbury Mercantile, the menu reads like a confident snapshot of modern Lowcountry comfort food with a coastal Southern twist, balancing seafood-driven plates with hearty Southern staples and playful bar-style creations. The sharables set the tone with standouts like Peel & Eat Carolina Shrimp, Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Hot Rox Shrimp, Crab Dip, and Hickory Smoked Wings, offering a mix of smoky, spicy, and briny flavors that feel tailored for casual grazing. Entrées lean more indulgent, especially the Cheshire Heritage Pork Chop, Fried Seafood Platters, Creole Shrimp & Grits, Bourbon Butter Shrimp & Grits, and the deeply traditional Lowcountry Boil, all of which highlight the restaurant’s coastal identity.

The soup and salad section adds lighter Southern classics, with Charleston She Crab Soup standing out as the signature comfort bowl, alongside staples like Wedge Salad, Caesar Salad, and Market Garden Salad. The taco selection adds a modern, slightly fusion-driven edge, featuring Sweet Heat Fried Seafood Tacos, Cajun Grilled Seafood Tacos, Grilled Chicken Tacos, and the inventive Fried Green Tomato Tacos. Sandwiches continue the hearty theme with the Roxbury Burger, Southern Burger, Pulled Pork Sandwich, Chicken BLT Sandwich, and Seafood Po’ Boys, all clearly designed for big, satisfying bites.

Sides such as Marsh Hen Mill Grits, French Fries, Sea Island Red Peas, Sweet Potato Fries, and Mac & Cheese reinforce the Southern foundation, while the beverage program is unexpectedly expansive. Local drafts like Nautical Light 98, Pepper Me Green, and Drop It Like It Hops Marsh Hen sit alongside craft-forward cocktails including the Mixed Berry Mule, Honeysuckle Crush, Charlestowne G&T, and more adventurous pours like the Jalapeño Cilantro Margarita, Blackberry Sorghum Old Fashioned, and S’mores Old Fashioned. With additional coffee options such as Pour Over Coffee and Chai Latte, plus a wide Charleston craft beer list, the menu feels both grounded in local tradition and open to contemporary bar culture.
