dagwood and country fried steak
Seyla T.

First time here and it was great! A nice hidden gem of a diner in West Ashley. Service is quite fast, food is delicious, and it is a very casual diner vibe here. I have been wanting a club sandwich and got the the dagwood which had the ham in it like I wanted! Large portions of turkey and ham, bacon was perfect and crispy. I will definitely get it again when I want a club sandwich. Boyfriend always enjoys the country fried steak when he gets it and is his go to order!! I had a bite and it was tasty! Will definitely come back when I'm craving some breakfast or diner food.

A hidden Gym in Charleston! I would have never thought twice about it had my friend not taken me there. There's plenty of seating for any size party and a large menu that will satisfy any craving. The friendly staff is also there to help you decide your meal. With great prices and large portions to boot! Definitely local diner vibes. I let my eyes eat instead of my stomach and needed up ordering too much. I ordered the Country fried steak cheese and egg biscuit, French toast, Harbor Saute, and the Montana Omlete. Definitely did not eat it all but I happily took everything to go and I continued to enjoy my food. Next time I'm in town this is a must stop for food.

Grits
Jessica C.

Service is always great here. Feels like a family-owned diner. Multiple places to sit. Ordered the regular breakfast platter with eggs, choice of meat, and grits or hashbrowns. Grits were thick and so delicious! Always have a good meal anytime I go here.

Sue's breakfast with bacon for my meat and over medium eggs.

Five Star Friday!! In the last few weeks I've eaten here twice and have had incredible experiences. Each day they have a great amount of offerings on their specials board. They also have a very extensive regular menu. The first visit I had Sue's Special breakfast; 2 eggs, bacon, potatoes, and a pancake. I normally wouldn't order something I can make at home, but I'm glad I did order it. Everything was tasty. Earlier this week I returned with a few members of one of my networking groups. We have an in-person meeting once a month on Monday's, so I made us a list of local restaurants that are open on Monday. The Bear E Patch it was! This visit I ordered the Cabo Wrap; grilled chicken, bacon, peppers, onions, cheese, and a spicy Cabo sauce. The sauce was a chipotle sauce. After my first couple bites I was in love with the grilled chicken. It was seasoned perfectly and juicy and oh so yummy. I was having a hard time finding the sauce, so I asked for an extra side of it. The sauce is so yummy too. I will definitely order this again! Every time I've been here (I used to go years ago when I lived in West Ashley) to my two most recent visits the staff is always excellent. My friend Paul who's been going here for years too said it was the first place he found in WA with a diverse staff and that's why he fell in love with supporting the Patch. Until next time BEPC!

This place is hands-down a gem. It's locally owned and gives you the vibe of a mom & pop restaurant. True southern charm. When we walked in the place look packed and I was nervous about getting a table with six people during breakfast brunch. We were told wouldn't be long and they meant that. We were seated less than 10 minutes. This is the kind of place that people go for breakfast eat and leave. And I mean that in the best way possible it's like the guests know there's a a good bit of traffic during breakfast. And with good reason, the food & service was amazing. I can't wait to go visit Charleston again just to eat here.

If you are looking for a local restaurant that the local goes to, this is it, this is one of those restaurants. On a Saturday, We arrived at 7:55am, three minutes before it opens, the parking lot only has a few cars, so we decided to sit in the car and wait. Well by 7:58am, the parking lot was starting to fill up. As soon as the door opens at 8am, we walked it and we can just find our own seats. By 8:15am, the place was packed and you have wait for a table. The service was excellent, all the staff was nice and kind. They always try to refill the coffee. The diner feels of the restaurant feels good, not feeling old and dirty. The food was great, I have the Skillet with Sausage, potatoes, onion, and peppers topped with gray, it also comes with two eggs and Grits. It was a lot of food. It tasted great and great value. If I am in the area, I will come back again for sure

French Toast
Tiffani W.

Stopped by for breakfast and like usual it did not disappoint. I ordered the French toast and bacon. And my husband ordered seafood omelet, pancakes, and grits. We both enjoyed everything. We only had to wait about 15 minutes. But it does get busy. Staff is always friendly and makes recommendations if you ask. Very laid back atmosphere. It's a no frills cafe but the food is wonderful.

Angel M.

The people were very nice. The food was good. It looked clean. Try the pie. Be sure you check out the specials on the wall.

See all

The menu has been reduced to bar food which is a bad thing. What they have is very good…read more Horseradish(horsey sauce) would be a great addition for Homemade Onion Rings or Fried mushrooms. Yum

The only thing saving this from a 1 star review is that I am grading on a curve; we were told they…read moreonly had 1 cook, and it looked like only one waitress and one bartender as well tonight. That said, we were NOT told that there was only 1 cook and it would be a long wait for food until wellllll after we placed food orders. Drinks weee not filled in a timely fashion, empty dishes sat for a while. Again, trading on a curve because they were short staffed. But we should have been told from the get-go, not after waiting a really long time to place and order and then waiting a while for the appetizer. I had the Stones burger and ordered medium. It came out well done, that's fine, but it was the driest, hardest hockey puck of a burger you can imagine. My son ordered the breakfast burger and was NOT asked how he wanted the egg cooked, it was cooked runny which he doesn't like, so he didn't eat it after a literal nibble. The fried pickles were the saltiest I've ever had and the portion size was very small, especially after waiting so long for them. Yeah it's a sports bar but the TVs were up so loud any conversation was impossible and it was actually hard to hear the waitress. This was just not a good experience at all. Spent nearly an hour waiting for food while hearing a TV blasting in my ears, not being able to talk to my kids, starving because I saved my calories for this meal, and having lousy food to boot. Do not recommend. J.Ja

We ordered drinks and they were brought to us within a few minutes. I ordered a beer and my wife ordered a Mango Mai Tai. She really enjoyed that cocktail. Popcorn was brought to us and I don't remember ever having popcorn brought to the table like some places bring bread, chips and salsa, etc. interesting. My wife and I split the chargrilled meatloaf sandwich on Texas toast with fries. Our son ordered the Bodacious Bourbon Burger with fries. Our food arrived in less than 10 minutes. Everything was hot and fresh. The meatloaf sandwich with onion straws was delicious. Hot and tasty. Not a huge fan of shoestring fries but they were also hot and fresh. Our son loved his burger but it is a messy meal. Service was fantastic and we really enjoyed the atmosphere and food. Lots of TV'S so I could watch the Braves game while eating. A great experience for us at Underground Chucks. I recommend.

Our server Alee was friendly and good came out fast. I like the shoestring fries but those are always a gamble because they are hard to get right but they were good. My Southwest Burger was fine too, kids had Smashburgrrs which were fine. Overall everything tasted good, nothing was wrong, and the price was very fair. The kids said their food was fine, but weren't super over the moon for it. J.Ja

The bar area had a large seating section as well as indoor seating. Televisions filled the restaurant and had Saturday college and night football on.

Yes, it is in an old-school, very small strip mall that could easily be overlooked. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. The menu has typical bar food, plus sushi, plus hibachi. We have tried multiple food items and everything has been yummy! They have a great happy hour and other daily specials (check out appetizers on Thursdays). They also have trivia nights and other special events. And, if you like, pool, they have a nice set of tables. Speaking of tables, the interior of Cedar Creek is good - booths, bar area, tall tables, something for everyone. Comfortable and fresh looking - not what you would expect from a strip mall bar. (But they stay open late, too, if that is your thing). So glad to have Cedar Creek in West Ashley!
