Toast has been a long-time favorite breakfast spot in Charleston. They recently (October 2025) changed locations, but only by about one block. Breakfast choices are excellent. The beignets a very tasty starter. All the portions are large. If you opt for a homemade biscuit, it is the size of all small cake. I don't usually opt for scrambled eggs when eating out, but these were really good. Our server was super friendly, and service was great. It gets busy on the weekends, so try and sneak in during the week if you can. read more

The service was very good, the food was about average for Charleston. I'd come back for sure. read more

Make sure you head to their new location just a few blocks from the original downtown spot. Food was good and we had good service. They have only two restrooms for the entire restaurant. Biscuits were yummy. Our table service was good but host service was sub par. They tried squeezing our group of seven on a six top table. Thankfully the couple next to us offered to shift one table down to give us more room. It was a little annoying since the entire half of the restaurant was empty and they could have seated us there. read more

We are here Thursday morning and got sat right away. We tried to different Bloody Mary's and they were good and had their own unique flavors to them. The bacon had a nice "candy" flavor to it that when you took a bite from it, it was sweet but yet spicy from the bloody. The New Orleans Beignets are a must! They are a local favorite and we could see why. I would highly recommend getting one (or two) to start your meal off. The crab cake Benny was ok. Still tasted good just not my cup of tea. The crab cake was a little too "thick" for my liking but overall it was still a good dish. The peach stuffed French toast was also good. If you order it be aware that it is a large piece of bread. See picture. Overall a great experience! Would recommend to anyone if they need a good breakfast before their day of exploring Charleston! read more

Nice place to eat, the Shrimp and grits were awesome. Beignets were great. But the Avocado toast barely had any toast, a bit disappointing. Would come back but would not order the Avocado toast. Nice place for brunch. Friendly staff. read more

First, this place came highly recommended by a friend, so when I arrived and had the experience I did, I was greatly disappointed. My party of seven arrived early morning. The restaurant was empty, so we were seated quickly. Our server was nice and took our drink order to allow time to browse the menu. I went with the pancakes based off pictures I had seen. After a long wait, our food finally came to the table. My food was cold and the only reason I didn't ask for it to be remade was because of time. One co-worker's food came out after everyone else's and she gave me her single pancake. At least it came out hot, right off the griddle. There was no butter and I had to ask for syrup. About the best thing going was the fresh squeezed orange juice. Definitely not the restaurant's best showing. As a breakfast lover, it was a bit of a letdown. *Update* three of my colleagues took ill after eating here. So add that to the dissatisfaction. read more

Good prices atmosphere and service was good. Food was good but other brunch places a bit more tasty.

First time visiting in Charleston and stopped by Toast for breakfast. We had the fried green tomatoes which were amazing! We also ordered the peach stuffed French toast and the blue crab and shrimp omelette. Both were very delicious. The omelette came with oven fried potatoes and we added fried onions and green peppers. Everything was so delicious! Service was excellent and our server was very friendly. It wasn't crowded and the restaurant was very clean. They offer outdoor street dining or their back patio so there is plenty of room. Highly recommend Toast for breakfast or brunch. read more

Unfortunately, this restaurant was not off to a great start by the cleanliness of it. The tables and floors were sticky, stained, and dirty. The bathrooms were not very pleasant. Menus were dirty. The cleanliness of a restaurant is extremely important and should exceed standards, but Toast didn't even meet a standard for cleanliness in my opinion. The food was okay. Neither of us loved the eggs. The waffle was very good but I am surprised how little strawberries it came with. I don't know that I'd return here unless they got better about their cleanliness standards. Although, our servers were fantastic. Extremely kind and had great customer service. All staff members were very nice. The restaurant is in a good location as well. read more

Overall okay brunch experience here - we had to wait for a table even in the late afternoon showing how busy this spot can get. We just walked around the area and returned in time for our table without many issues. The menu had a good selection of brunch and lunch items. I ended up ordering a po boy sandwich which unfortunately was very disappointing - definitely opt to get a brunch item, the folks at my table who got your typical eggs or hash items were much better. Drinks were okay at least. The table was a bit sticky which made the ambiance not great. The decor otherwise made it feel a bit homey and rustic, but no other real comments. Service was okay, food came out a bit slow but we weren't in a rush or anything so no big deal. I probably wouldn't opt to come back to this spot if ever in the area again, but it overall wasn't too bad. read more

Stopped here for lunch on a recent trip to Charleston after a friend recommended it. The standout item was definitely the she-crab soup ($8.95) -- rich, flavorful, and worth coming back for. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal was underwhelming. The Caesar salad ($21.95) was just average and didn't feel worth the price. I also tried their "famous" Bloody Mary ($14), but it didn't live up to the hype -- not bad, just nothing memorable. My friend had the Fried green tomatoes and liked that very much! The vibe and location are nice, and the menu has a lot of variety, so maybe there are other gems I didn't get to try. If I return, it'll be solely for the she-crab soup. read more

Ebony was very accommodating considering they were busy on St. Patrick's Day. Our waiter Charles was very attentive and got all six of orders correct and answered questions. The Snickerdoodle Latte was delicious, the Shrimp and Grits with the caramelized onions Bon Appetit. The beignets with the blueberry sauce. read more

A good Southern breakfast is an amazing thing and the food here is great. Not everything was wonderful but I'll start with the good stuff. I got the Surf and Turf breakfast, which can easily feed two people. It comes with 8 oz steak (seasoned well and very tasty), grilled shrimp, potatoes and eggs and a biscuit. The biscuit I had here was huge but it had the fluffy texture I really enjoy and didn't feel like I was eating a paperweight. I recommend this as a place to get biscuits. Loved the home fries and eggs and the shrimp and steak were lovely. Service was also terrific..friendly and efficient. They really ran the place like clockwork. The only negative is the noise. Depending on where you're sitting and who is sitting around you, it can be deafening and make it a terrible experience. We were in a confined area with four large tables and a low ceiling and it was deafening. When you're surrounded by folks with high pitched voices, screaming to be heard over one another it gets shrill very fast. Add in bloody marys or mimosas and the level increases exponentially. We had to leave early because it the noise was so piercing. I can't imagine coming here with a hangover...your head would likely explode. If you can sit somewhere away from loud tables or if you take your food to go, this place is can't miss! read more

Stopped in for breakfast on April 7, 2026. We got Beignet to start with and they were delicious. We also got a crab and shrimp omelet and it was delicious and we also got the ham, cheese and bacon omelet. It was basic and fine, not a must get again omelet. The potatoes were delicious. The biscuits was big and delicious but not warm and unfortunately small packs of cold butter were provided so between the cold biscuit and butter, nothing was going to melt. The Snickerdoodle latte was delicious and served in a typical latte mug that cooled down quickly. My husband got a Nutella latte half sweet and it was good. Our waitress was friendly. The one issue we had was the bathroom was dirty. Toilet paper on the floor and the hand towels were empty so you couldn't dry your hands. Also, it smelled like urine. Whoever is cleaning the bathroom needs to step it up, use disinfectant and be sure to clean around the base where urine collects when men miss their aim. I told the woman behind the bar the bathroom needed attending and she looked uninterested. It was only 10:00 a.m. so the bathroom should have still been clean. All in all it was great but I took one start off because clean bathrooms are a must! read more

The food was pretty yummy! The service was super fast! I had a take out order and after placing the order it took them like 7 mins to prepare it and be done. The place is actually was bigger then it looks! It was definitely a place to go for a small meeting! The customer service was top notch with everyone being super sweet! read more

Zero stars. Got the biscuits and gravy and an orange juice and my ticket was $37. The orange juice was hot, gravy was so thick I could barely eat it. Then when I wanted my ticket printed because I couldn't believe it was $37 she has added auto gray and didn't tell anyone and didn't want to print my ticket off. read more

Stop in here with my girlfriend (gals trip) and had a wonderful breakfast. The home fries with the works (grilled onions, peppers and cheese) are very good and the serving is very very large. The benny Benedict with spinach was savory and fully enjoyed. Biscuits are home made and top of their class. I did not rate this a 5 star because the booth we were at was very uncomfortable. The seat to table distance was very tight (we are not big people) and the cushions were so lumpy that finding a good spot was...challenging. Service was spot on- just enough and thorough. read more

The food was cold and we waited for over an hour before our food was delivered. Manager did comp a portion of the meal but we should have not had to pay for anything. Bad service and management was not genuinely interested in restoring good will. The ambience was decent based on the location. It's off one of the main streets in town so there's a lot of foot traffic. The hostess was pleasant and our waitress was off to a good start. As the experience went on, it seemed to get worse. We had to repeat our orders since our waitress misplaced the paper our orders were written on. Incorrect orders were brought to the table. I would not consider eating at the restaurant again. And I will say, despite my experience I still managed to tip our waitress 20% read more

Very friendly waitress who answered all our questions and provided menu recommendations. She was overall attentive and kind. Although we went for breakfast they seemed to have an extensive menu, lots of options for everyone. read more

In Mt Pleasant location, they chose to seat a larger party before us, even though we had been waiting for a little while with an impatient, hungry child. They could have separated the two tables, but chose not to. They said another table would open up soon, but it was another pair of tables, so if another large party came in, we would have been skipped over. Terrible customer service. We won't go back. read more

| Food - Breakfast | I had the biscuit breakfast sandwich; all the ingredients were just okay. The eggs lacked flavor (hot sauce helped), the slice of American cheese probably came wrapped in cellophane, the bacon was a little chewy in texture, and the biscuit (given the abundance of great biscuits in Charleston) was disappointing. | Drink | The house coffee was good and it came in a giant mug. | Ambiance | Crowed, loud, and with tightly spaced tables. Diner vibes. | Service | Travis provided excellent and consistent service! It's a tough job navigating through the tight tables and it appeared he had several tables at once, but there wasn't a miss in the service and he kept checking in on us. read more

I wish I would've yelped this place before walking in! I was walking around trying to find a local breakfast spot and got excited when I came upon it. Seeing that it was a brunch spot with the menu visible, I decided to walk in. Right when I walked in, the gentleman at the bar was really nice but when the girl who came out after to seat me, it was so unpleasant. The service was definitely not what I expected, and when I started to look at the menu options they didn't seem like a wow factor. Finally went on Yelp to see the pictures and not impressed at all. The food looked really basic and not appealing. Ended up just getting a cup of coffee then left right after. Definitely disappointed thinking it was going to be a great brunch experience but disappointed. read more

Service was very slow and the restaurant wasn't even busy. Our server was annoying and our food was cold and had to be sent back.

Pretty good I had a crab egg benedict. The fried green tomato and crab cake combo was really well done; I actually really liked my meal. Lower a star for me cause my partners po boy was so sad, I sadly didn't take a photo before eating, but it looked like a loose combo of bread, veggies and fried oysters. Service was great, server was fast. Ambiance was very casual - nothing to complain about. read more

We were told it would be 5 minutes or less for a table for two. We waited more than 15 minutes and watched parties of two come in and get seated ahead of us. Now I don't mind waiting but they set the expectation of a short wait. I went up to the hostess stand and asked what the time estimate was. She thought we put in for a party of 5 despite us confirming two people. We finally got a table and the waitress barely spoke to us. Our food took almost an hour (basic eggs and a waffle.) I ordered poached eggs and my eggs were over hard. Lattes were bland and had no flavor. Food was overpriced for what it was. The waitress never asked how our food was or checked in again. I would not come back to this place. There are better brunch places in the area. read more

Runny eggs when asked for over hard. Scrambled eggs weren't cooked all the way through either. No butter on toast. Chicken sausage was not good. We didn't eat much of what was brought out actually. 100 for 4 meals that were not good. I'd skip this place. read more

Johnna our server was great!! Our breakfast was excellent and appreciated the warm hospitality Johnna provided. Shout out to Johnna!!!

We got the Florentine Eggs Benedict and the Deluxe Stuffed peach French toast. The French toast was a good level of sweetness, not overwhelmingly rich. Was able to eat the whole thing because it was light. The eggs Benedict was pretty standard. Had a lemon taste to it that was unexpected but not bad. Probably would try something else on the menu next time. Home fries and coffee were what you would expect. Server was very friendly and the restaurant was cozy. read more

We came to eat on a very busy day, so the food took a while to get to us. Service - Our waitress was very nice and welcoming. She was super busy, but had a smile on her face. The staff was very lovely. Ambiance - I didn't really like the ambiance because it felt kind of messy, and our table was kind of dirty, but that's more of a my personal taste thing. It gave a little rustic, British, diner. Food - food wasn't the greatest. I liked my crab cake eggs Benedict, and the cappuccino was okay. The fries I got were also okay. My dad got a waffle and sausages, but the sausages were very dry and flat. We told our waitress and she was very understanding. The food was honestly okay. It was just like another breakfast place. Nothing great to say, nothing bad to say. We went on a busy day, so please note that. read more

Toast is very cute place! They are moving locations in a couple of weeks, but the location we went to was great! Parking is paid street parking or paid lot/garage only. Crystal was our server/bartender she was super friendly! We were there for a birthday brunch and offered us sample frose. Food came out quick and was yummy. Didn't take any photos, but fresh squeezed OJ in mimosa was great. Chicken and waffles were good, very filling, my friend said she would get it again. The veggie omelette was very filling as well. No gluten free toast as mentioned on menu, they said it may be at the new location. Candied bacon was delicious. Would come again next time I'm in Charleston! read more
