Early Bird Diner

All u could ask for in a diner : Classic dishes but made perfectly with some modern options. Or just pay $5 for unlimited pancakes HOLLER!!!

The mess (curried vegetable scrambled eggs ) was our favorite, but everything was good. Get the tomato sauce for the shrimp&grits but the pepper jam on the side to put on your biscuit . Fried okra too.

Brandy is a great server, she really goes out of her way to make you feel welcome. She gave us an extra coffee to go, on the house, when we told her we were travelling from FL to NJ.

Top 5 breakfast places in Charleston. Portions were general and flavorful; service was prompt and kind. The parking lot is crowded for a reason!

Gotta love it when they're are $5 all-you-can-eat pancakes .... Super yum! The staff are all fantastic, each doing 20 things at once and still keeping on smiles

Great meal of chicken and waffles . Cool place with personality. Not fancy , yet highly recommended. Everything looked good. We will be back.

Sincerely delicious food served to you by awesome staff with old diner vibes. Really decently priced- the best bang for your buck in Charleston, food wise. The Chicken & Waffles are life changing.

Highly recommend the pork cutlet and shrimp over grits . Amazing. The pancakes are delicious as well . Service is excellent.

I love this restaurant , I'm crazy with the boneless fried chicken wit honey and lavender seeds.

The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. Will have to return, we like to try new restaurants and taste what's recommended. Chicken & waffles were the best.

I had the country fried steak my first visit. Seasoned and cooked perfectly. The breakfast dishes are available all day but I haven’t tried it yet

Great food and service a must stop in the area

PECAN ENCRUSTED FRIED CHICKEN & CINNAMON BELGIAN WAFFLES only $9!! IT'S LIKE GOURMET CHICKEN&WAFFLES! OMG! I died & went to Chicken & Waffle Heaven! Love, love, love me some chix&waffs!

Sunday's stay packed!! Opens at 10 with a line at 9:30am. Just had the curry scrambled eggs ... AWSOME!!!

Funky, hipstery diner with lots of art on the walls. Solid fried chicken and waffles . Fried green tomatoes not quite as solid. Ice creams are homemade .

Best country fried steak I have ever had. The fried chicken and waffles are amazing too. Even though that dish is on the breakfast menu it is good for any meal.

Chicken and Waffles ? Yes, the best Chicken and Waffles you will ever have in your entire life. My family from Texas comes all the way here just for Chicken and Waffles .

While it doesn't look like much from the outside, inside is warmth, art , and quirkiness that lends itself to the menu with bizarre but tasty food combinations.

Early Bird Diner at 4 minutes drive to the east of Charleston Family Dentistry

Chicken and waffles . Worth the wait. Also, the coffee is remarkably good.

Super busy on Sundays. I recommend getting there at least 15min before they open.

Best tip I could give... : Just go there and pick a meal. It will be delicious and generous every time.

Shrimp and grits are to die for. Doesn't look like much from the outside but this diner is a real gem.

This place was great. Amazing service and wonderful food. Try the meat loaf

Chicken and waffles are so good!

Best grits ever!

"The Mess", a breakfast dish with curried veggies and eggs . Delicious! Nice people, very relaxed environment .

Chicken & Waffles ! Shrimp & Grits ! Steak & Eggs ! You literally can't go wrong. Everything is epic.

My favorite is the meatloaf but everything is spectacular. Sometimes we even go just for dessert !

The fried green tomato benedict was awesome and the southern slam rocked our world. The staff were pleasant and the chicken and waffles made me wanna find my momma and hit her! Awesome Place!

The Fried Chicken Club w/ bacon , spring mix , & pesto ranch dressing on Texas toast !! THE BEST!!!

The best shrimp & grits I've had in Charleston thus far. Such great after work comfort food .

The Shrimp and. Grits ! You're gonna love it. Plus it's about as friend ly a place as you will find.

The best chicken and waffles in Charleston without debate !!

Chicken and waffles . Some of the best you'll ever have.

The country mess is deeeeeeelish! You can't really go wrong here. Just start your diet "tomorrow." - Afterall "tomorrow IS another day!"

Can get crowded quick but worth the wait for the chicken and waffles .

The Country Scramble was awesome ❤️

If the blueberry pancakes are on special, do not hesitate. Also, don't order anything else. They do not skimp on the berries and cover the entire plate!

The chicken and waffles are the best ever!

The food was great except for the Fettuccine Alfredo has mushrooms in it but not mentioned on the menu.

The chicken and waffles are boneless (which I don't like) but the honey-mustard sauce is nice.

Eggs Benedict is unique and delicious.

Food was good. Had eggs , bacon , and toast .

Get the F.G.T. you will not regret it. Hold the bacon only if you choose to abstain from deliciousness.

All you can eat pancakes on Fridays, chicken and waffles ... Oh and homemade Ice cream

Everything is good. I love the meatloaf sandwich

Try the Chicken and Waffles - Chicken was tender and buttery, and not overcooked. Waffles were perfect!
