    First of all the food here is good, but not good enough to cover the short coming for service at the restaurant. The Fort Mill Biscuit Bake was great in taste. We came on a Saturday brunch time, it was busy, I saw that they have table available, but the host suggested to sit in the bar as she said the service will be faster, then we tied to sit down there aren't any two seats available together then she gave us a table. Once we seated, we didn't have any one come to us, we have to ask where is our waitress? The waitress that came for our service, we realize that the waitress was someone passed by us couple of times already, she didn't greet us or anything. But once she greeted us, it was ok service. It must be someone from management didn't let her know about the table or they are under staff. Another thing I noticed is that while we are eating, the table was not reset properly, it was missing silverware and the customers have to ask for it after their food came out. As a big group that owes many restaurants, they didn't seem to care to reply any reviews on here. Also the staff at the restaurant is not bad, just seems to have issues with communication. It is sad that food was good but service brought it down.

    Side of Sausage links

    Of the many locations I have been a DoorDash delivery driver for, this has been one I have been looking forward to actually coming as a customer to enjoy the food and location for myself. They did not disappoint. I went on a Wednesday morning after a doctor's appointment, which I had to fast for so I was really hungry and thirsty. The outstanding servers at Flipside quickly remedied both of those! Being that it was late morning in the middle of the week seating was quick and easy. I've been there on the weekends though picking up for DoorDash when the line has been out the door so please plan accordingly. But if the rest of their items are as good as what I had I now know why there is a line. My server was quickly to my table moments after I sat and was ready to get me a drink. I choose a simple soda but as they have a full bar there are so many choices! But even the simple soda delighted me as it was brought in a cute glass shaped like a soda can with the restaurant's name on it. I'm not sure if they sell them but I would have been a buyer today. Having delivered this dish to many times to count I knew what I was getting before I entered. The chicken and waffles will always be my go to order at any place that offers it so it was a no brainer. I added a side of sausage links, I like sausage with my breakfast and I wanted something else to rate. :) As I was thirsty I sucked down that first drink very fast and was happy when a server swooped by and filled it up for me and took the paper wrapper from the straw with her to clear the table. In hardly no time at all my order was delivered to my table. I was also asked if i wanted butter for my waffle, um yes please! My dish - the waffle was quite large and thick. It had a great crust to the outside but the inside was warm and fluffy. After the butter I poured the syrup over the waffle. It held up in the little waffle cups never really absorbed by the waffle and therefore it never got soggy. I got four decent sized chicken tenders, one for each quadrant of the waffle. At least, that's how my brain sized it up. The tenders were seasoned and coated well and would be a tasty snack on their own. Cut and stacked with bits of waffle made the ultimate bite! The sausage links were just as delicious! They were hot and the outer casing had a nice snap to them when you bit into them. It was the perfect compliment to the chicken and waffles. Overall my meal was amazing. The service was exemplary. The place is very cheerful and friendly. Just typing up this review made me crave another order of chicken and waffles. If you haven't yet been there then I highly suggest you get over there soon! I know I will be back soon!

    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 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!

    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 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.

    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!

    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!

    See all

    Ask the Community - The Flipside Cafe

    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.
