Another Broken Egg Cafe

I visited the Charlotte location and loved it so I decided to try Charleston’s.
The atmosphere is very calming and welcoming, not too noisy or overcrowded with tables.
The service was great and the servers are all customer friendly.
The food came out quick and hot! The grits, sausage and potatoes had great flavor.
I thought the French Toast had a bit too much egg in the mix but it was still okay.

The food was mostly amazing.
One of our sandwiches was overcooked and the bread was hard but their grits are maybe the best I've ever had.
The service wasn't that great.
We received wrong items a couple of times and never received one of the drinks we ordered.
Overall a pretty good experience, make sure to order the grits! Update: we went a second time and it was phenomenal! Highly recommend this place, best breakfast place I've ever been to.

Great place for breakfast right in the heart of Market Steeet in Charleston.
Location cannot be beat, but understand that with this location comes big crowds.
We went on a Sunday morning around 10:30am, before the church release rush.
We put ourselves on the wait list ahead of arrival, which I strongly suggest.
We timed it right, and, luckily, there was just a short 5 minute wait.
The restaurant was pretty full, but our waitress greeted us almost immediately and took our drink order.
Drinks came back in 5 minutes or so, then she took our order. I got the seasonal special, the shrimp and city grits Benedict.
Both my sons got the cookie dough waffles with a side of scrambled eggs and sausages.
My wife got the gluten-free bourbon street pancakes.
The food came out in about 10-15 minutes.
It was amazing! Oh my! I thoroughly enjoyed my selection.
Incredibly flavorful yet not overly seasoned or too rich.
The poached eggs were perfectly done.
My only knock is it came our warm, not hot, but understandable considering the size of the crowd being serviced at the time.
My wife and both sons thoroughly enjoyed their choices as well.
The food overall was very high quality, using quality ingredients, and perfectly cooked as well as nicely presented.
Portions were just right, maybe larger than average, for we definitely were not hungry after everything. Our waitress was phenomenal.
Very friendly, knew the menu as well as details about items on it, and was very quick.
Her knowledge of the menu helped with the decisions, because they offer alot of choices.
She was definitelyon top of things, and never let our drinks get near empty.
They have a very good variety of gluten-free and vegetarian options on a separate menu. Facilitiess were very clean, orderly, well appointed, and everything in work order.
Tastefully decorated.
The dining room was spacious too.
I hate the feeling of being cramped with small tables and tables/chairs tight together.
This place definitely gave you good size and space. Prices we felt were incredibly good considering the quality of food, service, and atmosphere.
It's not cheap, but worth the splurge if your budget conscious.
This is a great option for a well above average breakfast experience.
We will return for sure, and recommend to friends and family.
