Sausage egg and cheese biscuit
Alana D.

I unexpectedly ended up eating here on a Sunday morning during a visit to the Cyprus Wetlands. Since we didn't have a lot of time to eat we placed a take out order and then walked the wetlands trail. The food was ready for us by the end of the walk (about 20min). We were very impressed as the food was affordable and delicious! We ordered a meal of 2 sausage and egg biscuits and a side of chorizo grits. Our total was less than $20 which we were happy to pay. The biscuits were huge and fluffy with perfectly cooked eggs and melted cheese. The chorizo grits were so flavorful! I would go to this adorable restaurant all the time if I lived closer to it.

Cute atmosphere

Looked so promising. Great decor. Interesting menu. Good service. My husband had eggs, toast, ham and breakfast potatoes. It's not a cheap place. One piece of toast (?), potatoes with nothing. No seasoning. No onions. No Crispyness. Rest ok My disappointment was my pancake...the opposite of fluffy. Heavy and bland. My grits had no grit....they were a cup of creamy nothing. Again.....I had to season heavily. Egg good. We saw the cute building, made a special trip. Very disappointed. I hope the owner sees this....all an easy fix. Add baking powder to pancakes, get real grits. Like I said...cute place with good service.

Bacon, sausage, egg, and cheese all sandwiched between two 18 inch pancakes! Do you think you could finish it all?!?

This place is an absolute undiscovered gem that sits along the historic coast in The Palmetto State of South Carolina! A breakfast diner converted from an old one room school house, this place is jam packed with charm and old school southern charm! Not to be outdone by the ambiance is the food. Although they specialize in pancakes, they can pretty much whip up any southern classic breakfast food you can think of! I got The Mikey's Way Pancake Challenge: bacon, sausage, egg, and cheese all sandwiched between two 18 inch pancakes (yes... 18 inches) Let me tell ya, there's just something about made from scratch, buttermilk pancakes that the Walmart instant mix just can't imitate! These pancakes will send you to another real! So so good. Thick, fluffy, cakey, buttery... these things will send you back to childhood! I drove 3 hours to try these pancakes and I can tell ya, it was well worth the tank of gas! The only downside was the AC was busted on the day we visited so it was a little muggy, but I mean they were fixing it. Although the staff was sweating and hustling like crazy, they remained attentive and never lost that smile! Highly recommend! 10/10!!!

Train wreck, crab cakes and French toast bites

Food was amazing!! The French toast bites and crab cakes are so delicious! Everyone was so kind and attentive. It was a great experience

Reuben was good. Homemade corned beef made a difference.

We have visited this establishment through its three name changes and different owners. We weren't in a rush to return after the previous proprietor sold, as we never had a good enough experience worth repeating. The interior space did not really reflect a "renovation" or "redesign". It was OK, but not super cozy or welcoming. The staff was incredibly friendly and efficient. The menu was absolutely breakfast forward, but it was lunch time and I noticed a French dip sandwich which used to be a favorite childhood pick. Once moving from the Midwest 30 years ago, I've rarely had a good FD. I was looking forward to finally break the spell. Really appreciated that you could pick your sides from a nice variety of offerings that were not limited to your basic fries or coleslaw. I opted for the fresh fruit bowl. My husband ordered the Reuben and waffle fries. His sandwich was a hit. The corned beef was not a deli sliced version which was awesome. The bread was griddled well and the sauerkraut added a nice but not overwhelming acidic hit. It was just in need of a bit more Thousand Island dressing. Surprisingly, my husband enjoyed the seasoned waffle fries. (We just prefer any fried potato without the ubiquitous coating). Sadly my quest to find a great French Dip in the South didn't materialize. It had potential- the bread was soft and fresh and the meat surprisingly plentiful and tender. Unfortunately, the only thing I could taste was salt. Absolutely no beefy flavor from the meat or the au jus. The best thing on my plate was the fruit bowl - blackberries, pineapple, blueberries, strawberries and melon. (Perfectly fresh, tart and sweet.). I would come back though to try the breakfast menu in cooler weather so we could sit outdoors. The ambiance is so much better than the interior.

Coast Roast had it all! We both had Irish Cream syrup, and it was the perfect latte. Just enough milk with great bean flavor and great syrup addition. They had many breakfast items, and we were able to enjoy breakfast together. It is also so cute inside. Don't let the May 2026 construction on the road keep you from stopping in! I highly recommend!

We found parking right on Paris Ave (perfect spot to start our journey) but as we got out of the truck, we noticed Harbour Village with a true throwback vibe (as soon as I noticed the huge vintage gas station sign)... and there at the side of the road was Corner Perk. The place is so enticing on the outside (white and red building with open deck with plenty of seating)... we decided to check it out and the inside was just as pleasant. Lots of wood trim and colorful accents and the girls that welcomed us in were "perky" (no pun intended). My wife got a LAVENDER HONEY LATTE and I got a CHURRO LATTE. We noticed they had lots of breakfast options (omelettes, quiche, skillets, breakfast burritos, baked goodies and more). We didn't get any but we were tempted. We sat outside and enjoyed out coffees; my wife loved her latte and my Churro was sweet and delicious... and off we went for our hike thru the Cypress Wetlands. Afterward, I reminded my wife how good some of the bakery stuff looked so we ventured back in for round two... This time I had an Iced Cold Brew (can't recall if any special flavor) and we also got a couple items to snack on.... we shared a over the top, super rick BROWNIE and we also got a slice of BANANA BREAD (both were excellent).

My mother is totally blind and has worked with service dogs from The Seeing Eye for over 30 years. She and my father approached the hostess to be seated, with her service dog clearly wearing identification. The hostess immediately told them they were not allowed to enter the restaurant with the dog. My mother calmly explained that the dog is a legally protected service animal and showed her official ID. Despite this, the hostess continued to refuse entry. After my father dialed the police to report the denial of access, the hostess returned and said the manager had now approved their entry (the manager never came out) -- but they would have to wait to be seated even though other patrons were being seated immediately. At that point, another patron who had overheard the entire exchange spoke up. She was visibly offended by what she had witnessed and graciously offered my parents her table as it was called. Her kindness was the bright spot in an otherwise upsetting situation. Once seated, our waitress was wonderful -- kind, attentive, and professional. The food was good as well. However, by then, the damage was done. What should have been a pleasant family meal became a stressful and emotional experience. Losing our appetite was inevitable after watching my mother be treated in a way that was not only hurtful, but unlawful. I hope management uses this experience as an opportunity to properly train staff on service animal laws and disability access. No family should have to endure what ours did just to enjoy a meal out.

I was not entirely sure what a "waffle pop" would turn out to be, but I ended up with two of them in an order, freshly made and topped with one fruit and one sauce of choice. Getting bananas with blueberry sauce was a good choice, one of many I expect. My strawberry matcha with boba was compromised by them running out of strawberry boba, but the regular tapioca balls did just fine soaked in a robustly flavored beverage. Their donut selection was appealing, but I simply did not have room. It would be tough to get out of there without getting a ton of sugar, and this place did not seem to have a ton for the more niche special dietary needs. However, it did have a lot of interesting messaging as a community space, with resources directed towards military families in particular, which moves me to look favorably on the place. And their stuff is delicious.

My web search for coffee found this place just a couple hundred feet from my hotel, opening in just…read more5 minutes (7:00). So I walked over. It was not at all what I expected in a strip mall near a chain hotel. What a cheerful place, the walls yellow, the windows decorated with big bright suns, the menu boards artfully illustrated, kitchy motivational signs everywhere. I was greeted with a geniality matching the overall vibe by a woman whom it was apparent was the owner. I complimented her on the name "Sunny Summers". She told me it was named after her two daughters. There was a young girl working with her so I asked her if she was Sunny or Summer. She didn't say anything. As it turned out she was neither - just an unrelated employee. I had only come in for a cup of coffee but I saw the donuts and couldn't resist. Many of them were outrageous sugar bombs - and beautiful to look at. But I settled on a more sedate cinnamon-sugar. Glad I did. It was fried to order then dusted with the topping and served not in a bag but in a cute box sized just right for the single. So when I ate it in the car 5 minutes later it was still warm, and fresh as can be. Does she always do this or was it because I arrived just after opening? Unsure, but it was a spectacularly good donut. The coffee, too, was excellent. Strong, no bitterness or sourness, and from a local independent roaster. The other foods mostly fit in the category of sweet indulgences: donuts with crazy toppings, "waffle pops", french toast. A few lunch items like panini. The burger offering was made with pancakes rather than the traditional bun! Now a few words about the proprietor. I was astonished by her outfit that left little to the imagination. At 7 in the morning! It was hard to keep my eyes where they belonged but I managed! (Sorry, I have no photos, for obvious reasons.) I realized later, when I did more research on the place, that this was part of her shtick, playing off her reputation as retired professional wrestler Lacey Evans. Before that she was in the Marine Corps serving in the military police force. An interesting choice of careers for sure. There's a board with prepaid receipts that the less-fortunate can use to get food. That's great. I wish I had known about it when I was there, not later during my research. I would definitely have prepaid a meal. Also, discounts for military and first responders. Not necessarily how I would do things but I know her intentions were good. The world needs more places like this. So a plea to anyone reading this: You may not be able to give up your Dunkin and Starbucks completely, as I have. But just try it for a month, or even a week: next time you need a fix check Google or Yelp for independent coffee shops, try something different, even if you have to go a little out of your way. You may just discover a new favorite hangout.
