    I have ate here many many times. The service I received is second to none! The staff is very pleasant and always checking on you. The most important is the bar remains stocked with fresh products and they are always clean. If someone has a bad experience here at this location makes me wonder what kind of person they are as some people aren’t happy lol and just like to complain. I will continue eating here as I al ay try to at least once or twice a week. Mostly breakfast. Thank you for your continued professionalism. Sincerely, Kevin Wilson Charleston

    Our waitress Payton was exceptional. Food on the bar was great as usual. We were visiting Charleston to see Christmas lights and this restaurant was close to ball Park and the interstate to go home. The lady attending to the food bar was very nice and had me wait for fresh on two items. You don’t always get personal service with a food bar. Everyone we talked with was Friendly and we made sure the manager on duty knew how much we appreciated the restaurant.
