The food is amazing. It was one of the best southern meals I've ever eaten.

Reading previous reviews and watching her being interviewed on old tv clips on YouTube, we really wanted to check out her spot. We arrived early so we could pick what we wanted, we arrived 30 minutes before it was set to open. There was another gentleman there also waiting. Short story, we waited an hour past the time it was supposed to open and several customers came and went trying to get in and no one could- door was locked. Her car was in the back, so we know (think 2 cars were in rear). Idk what happened, lights never came on and door didn’t unlock. We just hope sure was ok. We had to leave bc we had an appointment. Maybe it’ll work out another time. We saw at least 10-15 people come and leave in that span, they definitely lost business that day (families, contractors, etc).
Parking: Free gravel lot, unmarked spaces

We walked into the restaurant hungry and irritable, but the welcoming staff and delicious food put us at ease almost immediately. Thank you, for a delicious lunch we will definitely be back.
Wheelchair accessibility: This location is pretty wheelchair accessible my son was able to maneuver about in his manual chair and the seating is open and accessible as well.

Workman's Cafe is a hidden gem! They serve none pretentious good soul food. Today they had fried chicken, baked chicken, pork chops and assorted sides. I had the fried chicken and my wife had the bake chicken and we both loved it. Kudos to the cook!

Wherever We Eat
I recently dined at Workmen's Cafe on James Island, and it was an exceptional experience. The fried chicken plate with mashed potatoes and gravy surpassed my expectations; it's undoubtedly some of the best fried chicken I've ever had in Charleston. The restaurant's cozy atmosphere and friendly staff create a welcoming environment. Workmen's Cafe is offering a must-try experience for any local foodie. The meals are rich and flavorful, providing a delicious journey into the heart of soul food. For less than $8!! You can have a meal that will blow you away. Definitely deserving of a five-star review!

Great option for a home cooked meal. I really enjoyed the meatloaf and lima beans. The Mrs enjoyed the fried pork chop. I'd rate higher but a few dishes were far too salty. I'd much prefer under seasoned food that I can add salt to.
Parking: Per the owner, park away from the building.

This is the absolute best down home food I have tasted in a long time! It reminded me of my grandmother’s, which comforted me. The fried chicken was hot and juicy and the biscuit was like a piece of cake???
