Word on the street
What locals are saying
The West Ashley outpost of this multi-location chain holds a legitimate #4 ranking out of 791 Charleston restaurants, backed by a New York Times Magazine nod and a TripAdvisor Top 25 U.S. Brunches designation — accolades the kitchen mostly earns through Lowcountry-leaning dishes like shrimp and grits, Blue Crab & Shrimp Omelet, and Peach Stuffed French Toast. Individual servers get praised by name with striking regularity, but slow kitchen output is the most durable local complaint, with some West Ashley regulars citing multiple failed attempts before giving up. Prices run $18–26 for mains, which is on the higher end for a breakfast-lunch spot, though the locally sourced ingredients and generous portions temper most of the sticker shock.
