We went here for lunch and the restaurant was busy but the host brought us right away to empty table. The inside if the restaurant was bright, fun, and clean. The owner had little knicks knacks that he glued on the wall and picture frames. Our server was attentive and friendly. We had biscuit and sausage gravy with scramble eggs on top, breakfast skillet, hamburger and fries, fresh berries waffle, and chocolate chips pancakes, and fresh orange juice. Everyone enjoyed their meal and we will be back to this place.

Great place with attentive and friendly servers! We came here on New Year’s Day and were nervous there would be a long wait based on the packed parking lot but were relieved to see this place really can pack in a crowd comfortably. The Vietnamese cold brew was really tasty but definitely a sweet take on iced coffee. The spicy bacon and biscuits were also a fan favorite at our table but all in all everything was fantastic. So glad to have a great breakfast/brunch spot in North Mount Pleasant!

This place was great and since we came on a Tuesday at 1, it was a little slower but everyone was still quick to greet us. Our server Kylie was so sweet and I made great conversation with her. Everyone was nice. The food was a 10/10 and so was the iced coffee we got. Highly recommend!

In a word, WOW! When we arrived the restaurant was not very busy, we were pleasantly greeted and immediately seated. Our server arrived, took our drink order and quickly returned. She knew the menu inside and out, answering all of our questions. My wife wanted a slight change to the shrimp & grits order. Our server checked with chef, who said he could accommodate the change. A reasonable time later and our food arrived. My Redneck Benny was amazing, the poached eggs were cooked to perfection. The gravy was delicious and creamy. The shrimp & grits was equally tasty. The entire restaurant was very clean and organized. Plenty of indoor seating and an outdoor patio area. Towards the end of our breakfast the chef checked on my wife's order to ensure it was his she wanted it. This is a definite, come again restaurant.

Me and husband..coming from Atlanta... first time in Charleston SC..we decided to try this location since it was close to our hotel. It was a lil'bit of a wait...but only maybe 20min...it didn't matter cuz when we were seated it was all good!!! Everyone that greeted us were personable, friendly and professional....once we were seated the young lady who helped us navigate the menu...Rochelle, answered all our questions and helped me make a decision between waffle or French toast...I have always been picky about my breakfast cuz it's my FAVORITE Meal...anyway..I could go on and on..bottom line...I decided to try French toast...when I tell you it was PERFECT..I like it a lil crispy on outside...it's hard to explain but anyone who likes French toast can understand. My breakfast and my husband's was excellent...I know, these days it's hard to say a meal you didn't prepare yourself was excellent. BTW, we are plant based and try to eat better as a rule...BBB didn't let us down. We had opportunity to speak with Julie( one of the owners) and she shared a bit of their vision and that this restaurant was coming to Atlanta!!! I would love to go on and on but I will stop here. Final words...our meals were excellent, the place welcoming, people friendly. If you can't tell by now we highly recommend this restaurant and staff and since we are only here for 2 days...we definitely will be returning on our future visits. Blessings!! Oh, this is the 1st time I have left a review about anything. I had to!!!

Could not have asked for a better breakfast/brunch place. The service was incredible, our server was just the sweetest person. I felt very welcomed. The food was amazing! The decor was cool. They have some great art and pop culture art. There is a painting of the Charleston Bridge that is just beautiful. I will be coming back when we pass through the area again.

Awesome breakfast place. We were in town for a few days and stopped here after my cataract surgery. Coffee is outstanding (high praise from someone who roasts his own). I normally drink it black but a little cream made it even better. Our server took the time to determine our tastes and made recommendations. Everything we had (see pix) was great. If you have not been here before, take the time to find out optional features for your selections. Would eat here more often if we lived less than 3 hours away. Note that you can get a side order of French toast, which is what we did. Highly recommended! Edit; they have a cookbook, we'll probably buy it.
