- RPRob PetersDec 28, 20252.0Had the half chicken and it was bland with very little seasoning. Tasted almost like boiled chicken.
- SSSeanDec 28, 20255.0Great food, service, and prices. The cooks know how to fuse flavors together, the staff is super friendly and efficient. Clean, pleasant. We’ll be coming back for sure. Best Eggs Benedict I’ve had in a long time.
- JHJeannie HeathDec 13, 20255.0From the minute we walked in to the minute we left, this restaurant was top notch!! We went there after my daughter’s graduation and were led immediately to our table. (We did call ahead). But they were fully prepared for the volume of business they would have on graduation day! Our server Alexis was EXCEPTIONAL! Truly the best server I’ve had in years. She anticipated our every need! And the food!!! All 6 of us were amazed by the food! From the pimento dip, to the burgers and most especially the chicken pot pie, the food was cooked and presented to perfection! I’m happy I have a second kid at CMU, just so I can come back here! My new favorite restaurant in Mt. Pleasant!
- GGGrokMoneyLabDec 6, 20255.0I recently enjoyed the Cider Cheesecake at Workshop Social, and it was an exceptional dessert that truly stood out. The cheesecake itself delivered a perfectly balanced creamy texture with a subtle yet distinctive apple cider infusion—neither overly sweet nor heavy, allowing the delicate autumnal cider notes to shine through beautifully. The presentation was elegant and thoughtful: a velvety slice crowned with delicately thin, crisp dehydrated apple chips arranged like sails, adding both visual appeal and a satisfying textural contrast. Accompanying it were artful swirls of silky caramel sauce and a light apple reduction that complemented the cider flavor without overpowering it. The graham crust provided just the right amount of buttery crunch to tie everything together.
