    Flipside Café has officially earned a spot in my rotation. I've been four times recently after a friend insisted I try it, and now I get the hype. The food is incredible--fresh veggies, flavorful dishes, and ingredients that taste like someone in the kitchen actually cares.Service is consistently excellent, even when they're slammed (and trust me, they're always busy).Pro tip: parties of 3+ should call ahead. It's worth the planning.

    I came here based on reviews and I'm happy I did! I was greeted warmly, it was clean, and seated right away. The server was kind, food was delicious, and I'd definitely come back again!

    Went this morning for Sunday brunch and I enjoyed my meal very much. The server was too-notch, very attentive and exuding great energy. I had the Flipside Biscuit Bake (two biscuits, sausage gravy, grits and two eggs over easy) and black coffee. A little pricey hit you feel like you are getting your money's worth. It's a nice-looking place, and I look forward to going back again soon.

    I ordered the avocado toast. Yum!! Beautiful presentation! My compliments to the chef!

    Just finished breakfast at the Flipside Cafe. Adorable local breakfast restaurant we found on our way to Columbia. The food was excellent. Fresh and delicious. Thank you to our server Tracy who was very friendly and attentive. I would recommend this restaurant.

    Haven't been to the Flipside for breakfast in quite a while and had to drop my son off near by for a team breakfast with his soccer team. I sat at the corner of the bar so I can watch the PL Liverpool match while I eat my breakfast. Jerry was the server/bar tender and was hopping the entire I was seated take care of everyone at a busy bar. I settled on the pulled pork hash with eggs OE and a biscuit with gravy on the side. Jerry provided me BBQ sauce for an enhanced to the meal also. The potatoes were cooked through seasoned and crispy on the outside. At 9:30 when I sat down the alcohol serving countdown started complete with a mimosa prep station ready to go at 10am. Great breakfast to start my day in a welcoming and friend atmosphere. Cheers!

    Great experience here! Been wanting to check it out for a while and it did not disappoint. Sat at the bar and Jerri took care of us. The food came out fast and was delicious. She checked on us often and kept our drinks full! The place was busy and the dining room needed a reservation so get here early! Don't miss this spot :)

    I haven't experienced this before, but for the first time I won't be coming back to a resturant because I felt so uncomfortable... When we first entered, the staff was SO nice. The waitress at the front was so nice and helpful, and although the place was packed and we had to wait 40 minutes, she kept checking if there were avaible places for us. I wished I remembered her name cause she was amazing. We sat at the bar, and the person attending to people said hi to EVERYONE and welcomed everyone except for my friend and I. After a while of no one attending to us, cause it was our first time going to this place, I asked for a menu and I was met with a rude response. We were shocked, and I honestly felt so uncomfortable even asking for water, we ordered our food, and the person was once again so rude to us. They were nice towards the end cause I think they felt obligated and could tell we were uncomfy and not happy with the service we were receiving, but not acceptable. Sucks cause the food was amazing. I think it was some of the best chicken and waffles I had. Ambiance was nice too, gave a good southern charm. But nope, won't be coming back

    OMG - The "Food Scene" in Charlotte has "Cardiac Arrested" - Turns out, I think I may have found it - "The Food Scene" - Alive & Well - Across the Border in Fort Mill, South Carolina. Wake Up - Fellow Yelpers and Foodies - Oh L-rd! - I think I may have found the best Breakfast/Brunch Spot in the Carolinas. Sunday - 5 October 2025; - Searching & Desperate for a "Proper Meal" - which simply does not exist in Charlotte - I stumbled upon the The Flipside Café. The Flipside Café is located in an undiscerning shopping center in Fort Mill, North Carolina. Minutes from the North Carolina border. Good L-rd! - Service is a stand out; - Everyone is welcome with "Warm Southern Hospitality" - My waitress "Ashley F." was amazing and treated me like a family member; - I loved the "Southern Affection, Charm & Warmth" - I had to have the Chicken & Waffles; Thank you for respecting my religious beliefs and not making it a big deal that I don't eat Pork. Greatly appreciate. A picture speaks a thousand words; - Chicken and Waffles was amazing. Thank you for serving copious amounts of Fresh Butter in Small Metal Cups - Bonus! Scrambled Eggs arrived "Soft & Fluffy" & the English Muffin was Homemade and "Sourced" from some local Fort Mill Establishment. Coffee was kept flowing! Seating was extremely comfortable with a very chill and calm vibe. I could hear myself think! Definitely an A+ and I plan to return with some friends. I understand they have an amazing Lunch & Dinner Menu - which I plan to eventually check out. The Hamburger looks and sounds terrific. Parking was a Breeze - What a delight! - Thank you for a wonderful brunch and wonderful service!

    We went to flipside cafe after church today around 12 and upon coming inside, it was a 30 minute wait for 4 of us. We sat in the car while waiting. The time passed by quick and they gave us a call that our table was ready ! After looking over the menu, we end up choosing chicken and waffles, the lobster omelette, and for the kids a breakfast plate and the other was pancakes and fruit. As you can see from the photos, the kids portion size was actually really big in my opinion. I love that their menu had a variety of items and not as traditional as every other breakfast place. There's a few other items I want to try in the future. I liked this spot and there was a bar on one side and there other area was more causal. It's small and intimate cafe vibes. The bar side lighting has cozier and more dim lighting. Our service person was very attentive and the food came out super fast. I don't even think we were waiting no more than 10 minutes !

    Decided to join a friend here today for brunch! This is my second time eating here, and I have to say that the food and service are both pretty consistent! I went with the shrimp and grits!! Mouth watering and every bite is truly filled with flavor! They do the shrimp and andouille sausage right! The sauce was so good that I asked for a side of it to add more! My friend got the salmon sandwich and fries and she said it was really good. If you're in the area and want a nice dish from a cute local restaurant, I'd say definitely give the a try. Looking forward to going back!

    Very cute and quaint cafe. I was seated immediately but after 5min still didn't have anyone come over to take my order in spite of multiple workers walking past me. Had to ask the hostess who my waitress was gonna be, but once she came over the service was great. I got the lobster omelette and a pancake and both were so good. Came out fresh and piping hot.

    OMGawsh!!! So we started a weekly couples brunch tour series, and this location was our first pick. It was great! The food, service, accommodations (18 people) and overall everything was amazing. Next week we will be at Stacks Diner in Matthews, NC. I will not be there, but our host is ready and willing. Invite coming to you shortly. Thank you Flipside for making this first meeting of the brunch tour series is the BEST!

    Any other cheese besides pimento for burgers? American, cheddar, etc?

    Yes you can ask for different cheeses for burgers. I know they have at least cheddar.

    What would be appropriate attire and is there outdoor seating?

    No outdoor seating. Nothing fancy but I always go put together a little. Jeans, shirt and flip flops are cool.

I'm a Plain Jane kinda gal so straight up Naked Biscuit for me and a side of bacon that was cooked just right.

So when you first go in you stand in line with a bunch of menus available so you can look it over while you wait. Also, as you near the cash registers there is a window that allows you to see them making the dough and cutting the biscuits. I allowed my parents to place their order as I was gonna order separate. After placing my order I didn't get a number to take to our table like my parents. I was told it was put under my parents number. ok whatever. So there is a pretty good amount of benches and chairs in store and there is a covered outside area to sit as well. By the time we made our own drinks and took our seats it wasn't long before my parents food came out. I ordered my food after so I wasn't too worried that mine didn't come out with theirs but I was watching the kitchen door and I saw the runner with my order looking around for a number I wasn't given. As she approached I told her it was mine and she just gave it to me. Glad I'm honest or anyone probably could have gotten my breakfast. So I ordered the pancake corndog with a maple mayo sauce? I hate mayo so regular syrup would have been better for me. The sausage on a stick wrapped in pancake batter was very good, especially when dipped in regular maple syrup. I'm not sure I was getting "corn" in the pancake but maybe it was more in name only. Either way it was very tasty. My main breakfast item was the Chicken N Ditch the Waffle. So basically a nice piece of fried chicken and a biscuit but with a twist as the biscuit was "French Toasted". I felt that the biscuit was dense and even though it was "French Toasted" I wasn't getting a lot of that flavor coming thru. I think I would have preferred the waffle. Overall the food was good. It came out hot and quickly. Will I be back, probably not because for me the price was a bit high. The $10 for the pancakes and sausage wasn't bad but the $15 for what was basically a chicken biscuit? No thanks. Please check them out for yourself because they have lots of variations to try and like my mom, this might be your new favorite breakfast place!

I arrived on a rainy Tuesday morning so as you can imagine the place was not crowded. All part of my plan. The restaurant has a shiny happy people vibe to it that makes you feel good just walking in. As it wasn't crowded I was allowed to pick my seat. There are several booths, a long cushy bench with tables and chairs, lots of regular chair seating and if you want to be close to the action, you can sit at the bar up close near the kitchen and get a good view of how hard the wait staff work! I chose a bench seat in the corner because I hate people. ;) Just kidding. The two waitress's on duty I remember from my DoorDash days and they me. I was presented with utensils and a menu. I was asked if I wanted to start with something to drink right away but I said I'd wait. They gave me a few minutes to look it over and returned. After reviewing the menu I decided to go with an Orange Juice and the Caramel Apple Pancakes. I was asked what size drink I wanted. I went with the small because sometimes you never know about OJ. Some places it can be strong or pulpy. The small was just right and if the large had turned out to be the size of the water cup it would have been too much for me. She also offered the cup of water which I thought was nice and accepted. Ordering the Caramel Apple Pancakes I got a choice of bacon or sausage. I chose sausage. I then got a choice of links or patties. I chose the patties. I liked that I had the options. I prefer sausage to bacon and patties to links. A very short wait later my order arrived. Two plate sized pancakes with hot apples and a caramel sauce drizzled over them. I tried the pancakes as they came thinking adding syrup to them with caramel sauce on them already might be too much sweet on sweet. But the pancake ate dry. They were hot and delicious but I just can't do pancakes without syrup. There was a whole bottle already on the table for me so lets try it! I only poured it out on the side of my plate so I could dip the pancakes in them. It helped make them even better than they were. One thing about the pancakes though, when I forked my bite the bottom layer of them kept peeling off making it a little difficult to eat. My two sausage patties looked yummy. They came with a package of whipped butter. The patties had a good flavor, not thick but not thin either. But I have to say compared to my hot hotcakes, they were a bit cold. Almost like they were premade and sitting under a warming light. If they hadn't hit the griddle with the pancakes I wish they did cause that was the only thing I could find fault with this entire meal. It even left me full but not stuffed. I will definitely be back as I have some waffles and french toast to try!
