    Side of Sausage links
    Gary E.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is very cheerful and friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a nice-looking place, and I look forward to going back again soon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seating was extremely comfortable with a very chill and calm vibe. I could hear myself think![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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 !

    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.

    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.

The food is over the moon delicious with plenty of options and reasonable serving sizes. Even with the slightly high price point, it is well worth every penny. And they take allergies SO seriously! Literally went through a bunch of ingredients to find what would and wouldn't be dairy-allergy safe. Atmosphere is fun but cozy, too. 100% recommend! In-depth: Postino has quickly become one of my favorite places in the CLT area after my 10/10 experience here. To start, the food. My word, it's amazing! Everything my friend and I tried was delicious. The bruschetta is 100% worth trying (the spinach artichoke one is my favorite), and the west coaster panini + romaine salad was tasty at every bite. Their wine is also good quality, with a decent-sized portion poured. Allergy safety is a major thing for them, too. Our server (Lee = the best waitress!) and her manager looked through their bread and ingredients for about 30 minutes to confirm what was and wasn't dairy safe (I asked how dairy allergies are handled for when I bring my husband next time). They also had quite a few gluten-free options, too. The manager explained that she wants people to be able to just come in and relax for a few hours without worrying if they'll get sick, which I truly, truly appreciate. Lee shared a similar sentiment, which was amazing. Now price... Yes, it is a *bit* pricey, but it is well worth it. Nothing felt lacking as far as flavor goes, and the allergy safety is a huge thing. This is one of the few places I felt my sandwich and salad were worth every penny, even if it was $17. Also, their rewards program is great. I got a free bruschetta board, and they offer several other perks. Make sure to sign up before or while dining there to get some good deals! In addition to their sincere care for allergy safety, the service is fantastic all around. They do group service, meaning you'll have several servers, and they encourage you to grab anyone if you have questions. This takes the pressure off of waiting for one server to walk by and really helped me relax. And the atmosphere? I could stay there all day! It's a really fun vibe, but the lighting and seating are very cozy. Overall, I've already recommended this place to 5+ people and will be returning soon

The booth in which I sat was wobbly, as demonstrated by the child kicking and wriggling at the table next to me the entire time. But spotless; the staff keeps the place clean and neat like nobody's business. The food wasn't much to base my review on, as it was a really simple item that they managed to muck up because they added bacon despite me asking for none, likely because they didn't believe people would not want meat. It's not exactly a vegetarian-friendly space and I don't eat much meat. So I expect to return to try something else but in the meantime let me talk about the staff. The people who work here are what one hopes of southern hospitality. They are warm, friendly, hardworking as can be, and treat you like a treasured guest. I immediately fell in love with the place because of them. Let's hope on my return for breakfast I can bump this review up a level, because seriously, these people make me happy to live in the South.
