I was passing through Charleston and considered grabbing something quick. I’m glad I didn’t. I ended up wandering into South Side Cafe and had a great experience. The family-owned spot has a quintessential old diner feel with a classic breakfast and lunch menu prepared right behind the counter. The service was lovely, the food tasted great, and the prices are unbeatable. I’d be visiting frequently if I lived in town.

The food was home cooked and it came out very fast. We watched our 3 orders be cooked and brought to the table in great time. And just like mom or grandma would make.

We found this nice little café in the center of downtown Charleston in the Square. It was absolutely the best breakfast I’ve had in a long time. I definitely give it five stars.

Best little secret in Charleston. Cute restaurant tucked in just South of the courthouse. It’s a must see. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. Our youngest loves spinning on their stools at the bar. We love this small town, down home cafe. The food is so good. They have fried mush if you ask.

Food did not taste good, French toast tasted like grilled cheese and the steak didn’t even look like steak, the people who cook the food don’t use gloves and I haven’t seen them wash there hands yet, there are better places to go and this place is not one of them

Don’t waste your time. Gravy taste like milk biscuit uncooked. And steak have I’ve had lunch meat that taste better to top it all off 42 dollars to not be able to eat. Literally walked out food barely touched.
