    Ugh, with mixed emotions I write this review. I was so looking forward to having brunch here on Valentine's day with my hubby. I made reservations through the Yelp app, which is a great idea. Please do so before coming here. When we walked in, we could tell that they were very busy as the hostess was not at her station and apparently was busy cleaning off several tables.. please hire a buser.. I say we waited about ten minutes, and several servers, including the hostess walked past us and didn't even acknowledge our presence. They could have at least said "Good morning. Someone will be with you in a moment", But they didn't. We were not the only ones waiting by the door, there were at least seven others plus people waiting outside. When the hostess finally made it to the station, I had to get her attention to tell her that we had reservations. She looked up our name to confirm and then, sat us at a table next to the waitress station and entrance to the kitchen. Not a great location, but was just happy to have a place to sit down. So we can get our brunch ordered. There were also several other tables that were available. Our server finally showed up with a frown on her face. She handed us the menus and said she'd be back to take our order. I smiled and said thank you and received no response. She came back a few minutes later and took our order. Still no smile on her face. She must not like her job. I tried to keep my attitude positive and friendly; but, it didn't seem to work for her. I ordered the irish coffee and my husband ordered decaf coffee. For brunch, we both ordered the One Tomato Two Tomato benny, that consists of fried green tomatoes on a biscuit with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. I ordered mine without the biscuit. My husband kept it as is. When our food finally came out, it looked amazing. I quickly broke the poached egg open to see if it was cooked correctly. It was! Nice and runny the way it's supposed to be. Then I took a bite. It was lukewarm almost cold. Ugh!!! So disappointing! I wasn't gonna send it back because I was too hungry. My husband's dish was also lukewarm and and basically cold. His biscuit was dry and hard as a rock. He could barely cut through it. He ended up not eating. Since our server's attitude was not the best, I didn't want to risk sending our food back. It really is a cute little restaurant. And we may try it again. We are definitely going to try the one in downtown Charleston to see if the service and the food is better. Fingers crossed!

    This breakfast/brunch spot is delicious! The restaurant itself is vibrant and fun. Our server Danielle was so nice too! Adding on, just outside their front entrance there was a little free library stand which was so nice to see! We had the eggs cochon, Spanish omelette, and the cinnamon pancake with a hot chocolate! We also had the white chocolate cranberry beignets which I thought were going to be bigger but they were alright! The cinnamon pancake was definitely my favorite out of all the dishes!

    Life is short....

    The only thing that would make it better is if they came to Mt. Pleasant!!! Love the cool decor and everything is so upbeat and positive here!! I've never been to the downtown location, but have been to this location multiple times, with and without it being a Yelp event!! The food and drinks are amazing!! I especially enjoy the beignets and shrimp and grits! Ruby Sunshine we are waiting for you in the North Area of Mt Pleasant!! Please!!!

    The food and the staff are great. I ordered this chicken, egg and biscuit breakfast and it was delicious. I also ordered a side of grits that was made with milk or cream. I only like water in my grits. The chef was nice enough to make me a delicious pancake.

    Ryan H.

    I had the catfish and grits with an iced coffee. I really loved the coffee. And was pretty impressed with the catfish. I wish it was a little crispier but that would be hard with the Tasso gravy. Overall, very happy with my meal. I will be back. Good service.

    Hot Chocolate

    If you want a great Benedict come here! I love that you can do a Benedict combo with any two of the Benedict on the menu on one plate. I wish that they would come with sides but now I just get to choose my own. Always start with some sort of beignet sweet item to begin with and then switched to a savory Benedict. They have great drink menu with a full bar and they even validate parking. I've come to the West Ashley location only but can't wait to try the one downtown. The servers are always so smiley And happy to be there. Love the music choice and the breakfast quotes on the wall.

    Creamy Vanilla Spiced Latte
    Christina Y.

    The server was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the spiced latte that was delicious. For an appetizer we got an order of beignets for the table. The kids ate a few, but they needed to rise more and be cooked a little longer. I ordered a BLT and my daughter ordered the kids cinnamon swirl pancakes. The BLT needed more toppings and sauce. It was mainly dry bread. The kids pancakes were amazingly delicious! They had a strong vanilla flavor and were our favorite thing we ordered. We highly recommend trying the pancakes!!

    So this Ruby sunshine was a bit of a miss for me. There were some things they did right some things that were wrong. We arrived for brunch and it was fairly busy seven or eight couples waiting, but there was no hostess. The hostess was busy cleaning and busing tables. I think the thing number one is you need a bus boy. No one greeted us even when the hostess came over. We had to get her attention. However, once we told her we had reservations she seated us immediately. The wait staff looked like they were walking all over themselves. They were a bit discombobulated. Perhaps assigning the specific sections would be helpful. The food did come out fairly quickly however ours was lukewarm. The biscuit that came out with my food was also rock hard, I couldn't cut it with a knife. The eggs, however, were poached perfectly, and the waitress was attentive. I think the ambience could use a little help. I really don't enjoy seeing stacked up crates and containers and the waitress station in plain sight with dirty dishes stuff piled in. This was our first time at this location for eating we will give the other Ruby sunshine location to try and see if it's just the staff. I will say the menu selection and the items and creativity make it really interesting. If they prepare it correctly and it's not lukewarm. I bet it would be amazing.

    Where to start... eggs under cooked (you can see the white embryos, pancakes breaking apart from being undercooked and battery, tater tots soaking in grease you can see (un edible) and to top it off a plantain sticker on our plate? WATER ALSO TASTES LIKE IT'S GOT SOMETHING IN IT?! Service was nice but literally haven't had something so bad in YEARS. To top it off it's my wife's birthday breakfast. DO NOT GO HERE.

    Shelly B.

    Ruby Sunshine is such a fun vibe. It's a Cajun brunch spot with great drinks. The servers are super nice. I stopped in recently for a yelp event and I was able to try a couple of things on the menu. I recommend the shrimp and grits and the beignets just melt in your mouth, so don't forget to grab some of those! I had a pretty nice peach Bellini as well. All in all I had a great time and really good food.

    Kaitlyn M.

    Such a great breakfast! The beignets were very light and not too dense. I ordered the very berry stuffed french toast which was fabulous! I will say that the cheesecake filling was a little bit too much, but other than that, it was perfect! My boyfriend really enjoyed the fried chicken and noted that it had a perfect amount of spiciness. Likewise, the juiciness of the chicken on mix and match was also very memorable, same with the sauce.

    Eggs Benedict with bacon
    Claire F.

    A friend recommended this place for brunch Saturday, and it was a fun experience. She got the smash burger (she said it was good), and I got the Eggs Blackstone the OG Benedict (pictured...yes, there were two, but I was hungry!). Service and ambiance were good and food delicious.

    Kellie P.

    Great food and atmosphere. I was there for a special event and enjoyed small bites of a few of their dishes. The shrimp & grits was tasty with the sauce on top. The chicken & waffle bite was my favorite. The beignet was to die for. I also enjoyed one of their sunshine margaritas that was especially yummy. The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this place for a casual brunch spot.

Their banana bread had been recommended to me as a must-try but after a quick glance at the menu, I wanted to try at least five other things. First things first: the banana bread. 10/10.

I was so entranced with it that I managed to squirrel away half for the next day. Also got their jammy eggs because I'm an egg fiend. They were delicious, topped with chives and some chili crisp, but $7 for two eggs in this economy was a little hard to swallow. Next time I'm here, I'd want to try the quiche and the pickled shrimp toast. And they also have peanut milk?? Tucked away on a side street off the much busier King, Babas can be easy to miss but wow - talk about treasures coming in tiny sizes. There's some indoor seating and outdoor tables but don't bank on getting a table right away if you're coming on a weekend morning. The line moves quickly so we didn't mind waiting.

The hostess took my phone number down and said she would text me to let me know when our table was ready. Since this location is in downtown Charleston, it was easy to wander around outside and keep ourselves entertained until I got the text that our table was about to be ready and we had 10 minutes to check in. Once I checked in, we were seated immediately and told to scan the QR code at the table to see the menu. A few minutes later, our server came by and asked if we wanted coffee or other drinks. After she came back with drinks, she took our order. I got the cornmeal pancakes. They are made of cornmeal so they had a different taste than what I was used to with pancakes. It wasn't a bad taste. They tasted like a combo of sweet, but also savory. They also felt very light so I didn't feel overstuffed after eating them. Because of how busy they are, they got us in and out in less than 40 minutes. There are signs at the table to not stay longer than 90 minutes, but this was no problem here. Just something to keep in mind to not hang around if you're done with your meal and you see a giant wait outside. As we were leaving, other people were being quoted about a 45+ minute wait. Since it's in downtown Charleston, there is no dedicated parking lot. However, there is street parking available nearby. As someone that cannot parallel park, I went the safe route and parked in a parking garage that was close by. I paid $4 for that. Overall, great breakfast place and quick service!

This was kind of disappointing, because I really did like the ambiance of the restaurant, and it would have been nice if the experience was representative of that. They had a really cool open-air brick oven for pizzas, and I loved the aesthetic of the bar as well. Luckily, they had a few IPAs in a can, and my friend said that their drink was pretty good as well. All-in-all, Toast!

    I visited Poogan's Porch yesterday and had an incredible experience. I had the shrimp and grits and…read moremy husband got a smash burger. Both were great. We started with pimento cheese fritters and our courses were well timed and our tea kept filled - so great service and great food. If you haven't tried this restaurant, you should put it on the list. Bonus points for the haunted sister folklore and the story of little Poogan.

    I'm a regular visitor to Charleston, but had never been to Poogan's Porch. How did that happen?!…read moreIt's delightful! Poogan's Porch is a couple blocks off the main Market/Bay path, but it's still close to a good number of hotels and historic sites. It was a casual 15 minute stroll from my hotel right on E Bay. The service and food were excellent and the setting is inside a finely converted historic style home. We had a reservation for brunch on a weekday, but it wouldn't have been impossible to walk in that time of day. I would assume that it gets busier on weekends and in more tourist seasons. There is an option for outside seating, but in the Charleston heat and humidity, we opted for sitting inside. My friend and I each got cocktails and entrees. Cocktails were generously sized and reasonably priced. I was right to get the cajun remoulade on the side of my Fried Chicken Sandwich as this allowed me to dole out my spice as I could tolerate. My friend's Chicken and Waffles were fluffy and moist. The seasoning on these boneless chicken tenders was *chef's kiss*. Here's the only thing that I will mention as a drawback: The bathrooms. I understand this is a converted house and the historic-ness is part of its charm. However, when your women's bathroom has two stalls and one of the toilets isn't screwed into the floor and you cannot close the door without straddling the bowl... there's an impact to your enjoyment of the restaurant. I would emphasize this even more when the waste basket in the bathroom is overflowing and there are multiple hosts at the host stand waiting for customers to come in. If you haven't been to Poogan's Porch, it's worth a visit the next time you're in Charleston.
