Cute little joint. Rolled in here for lunch and it was pretty darn good. Chili was definitely on point. Will try to make it in for breakfast before I leave town.

Best breakfast biscuit in town, hands down. You can tell they are made with loving care (and the perfect amount of salt:)

Don’t miss this café if you’re in Charleston! Their breakfast is awesome, prices are great, and it’s in a cute area downtown. Special shout out to Arielle, she was super helpful to make recommendations and tell us about her city, she takes much pride in representing Charleston. Five stars all around!
Solid Breakfast Choice! The coffee is fresh and hot. (Good too.) You can't go wrong picking any of the menu items for breakfast... Classic breakfast diner fare. The biscuit sandwiches are great. The biscuits and gravy platter is excellent. My favorite is the breakfast burrito. I like to smother that bad boy in sour cream and salsa. Charleston is not my hometown, but when I have breakfast at Swiftwater, it feels like it. It's just comfortable, friendly, and a good amount of food for the price.

Went back to try a hotdog with slaw. The hotdog, with sauce and onions is top 3 in WV. The slaw makes it a top 10-15 candidate. The slaw is tasteless and only brings down the hotdog. They need to get better slaw to put it back in the top 3 bracket

Went there earlier this morning, the food was amazing! But I heard shouting coming from the catering which made me feel uneasy. It was definitely too early to hear yelling.

I'm in from out of town for an interview and stumbled across this cafe on Yelp! I was searching for a delicious local sandwich for lunch and Swiftwater didn't disappoint! The Italian grilled cheese and potato salad were delicious and the service was fantastic! I'd definitely come back and would recommend Swiftwater to anybody :)

My wife and I stopped by for breakfast, gracious and polite order taker, breakfast sandwiches and fried potatoes were terrific, great job from one fisherman to another. Before and after photos of our plates ,nothing left.
