Love this place, great food and staff, old diner feel with food cooked on the grill. My grandson and I enjoy sitting at the counter and watching them prepare the food. A hidden gem on the square in Charleston.

I really do like this place but I got the ribeye breakfast I was seriously disappointed it was not a ribeye it was more like a piece of toast beef only it didn't taste good it was about a 1/16 of an inch thick about 5 or 6 inches long and about 2 inches high I'm sorry but this time it was not

Easily one of my favorite breakfast spots! The people there are so kind, and the food always hits the spot. A must-check-out staple of Charleston!

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.
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.

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

We were in town overnight and stopped at this local diner for lunch. The server was friendly and quick to acknowledge us despite being very busy. Food is prepared fresh to order and was served piping hot with very little wait time. Although we had a simple breakfast available at our overnight location, we chose to return to the cafe for breakfast the following morning. Again, food did not disappoint. Prices are reasonable and the staff efficient and friendly.

First time here. My breakfast was cooked to perfection and exactly as I asked for it. Staff very friendly. Couldn't ask for more.
