Didn’t want to leave! Loved it. The flavor in the tomato basil soup is delicious. My favorite (oddly like me lol) was the pasta salad. Just a bit sour just enought to enjoy the rest of the flavors and ingredients. The sammich was not too crunchy not to softy.

The restaurant isn’t super big, but the food was good and the people were very nice. I had the chicken salad and my fiance had the cuban. I chose the pasta salad and it was quite balsamic-y. Definitely different from the usual kind. My fiance chose the potato salad and it was delicious. It was some of the best I’ve had in quite a while.
We’ll definitely be back!

The Eclectic Chef was such a cool find in downtown Summerville. The food was top notch and so was the friendliness of the service at the place. The restaurant was clean with seating both indoors and outdoors. Their sandwiches would certainly be recommended along with their desserts. Most definitely coming back here, if we’re ever back in the area!

We had a great experience and highly recommend! We had the summer salad, turkey and Brie sandwich on fresh focaccia, and tomato basil soup. So so yummy!! Meredith was so nice and remembered my name later. Rocky is the chef and was amazing! The food is so fresh and ingredients are great quality. They go above and beyond in all the ways! We will be back

UPDATE: We’ve been back here quite a few times. Food has always been great, and chicken salad on croissant with side of pasta salad is still my favorite. They also have lots of tasty desserts — cookies, cakes, dessert bars, etc. (selection changes daily).
I’m kicking myself for just now discovering this little gem in Summerville. EXCELLENT food, incredibly nice, fast, and helpful staff! Their Chicken Salad on croissant was amazing! The Asian Chicken Wrap and pasta salad were also very good. My kids loved the Grilled Cheese with Bacon on Texas Toast.
Small place with ample seating inside and outside.
We’re DEFINITELY coming back…very soon.

We were traveling back home from Charleston and decided to visit downtown Summerville SC. After walking a few blocks window shopping, we saw The Eclectic Chef in a friendly sit-down area off of the main street. Viewing numerous customers eating outside we thought we would go in and see what they offered. The menu items were intriguing and we decided to eat here. The staff was busy but attentive and the food delicious with good size proportions.

Great food, nice location. I had a meatloaf sandwich, a bit robust on flavor, and would prefer traditional sauce to bbq, but overall still a good sandwich. Ingredients were good quality and sandwich was toasted nicely.

I’ve been trying to hit this place up for months! Finally, I was able to go. I got the you pick 2. Ruben & half of blackened chicken& bleu salad. The Ruben was hot, not burn your mouth hot though. perfect.The flavors of the beef and kraut were dancing on my taste buds. Ah- mazing. Then I tried out the salad. Oh my goodness, so good. So good.
The prices were great! I’ll def be going again! So glad I went!

First time eating at this restaurant and the food were good. The soup of the day on Saturday was tomato basil soup and creamy mushroom soup. I ordered the mushroom soup which was so good with portabella chicken and goat cheese wrap.
We also ordered grilled cheese with bacon with 3 type of cheese (Brie,mozzarella, and Monterey Jack )and a slice of tomato which my picky eater said it tasted good. The grilled cheese came with a choice of pasta salad, chips, side salad or potato salad.
We were there for really late lunch and had to used the bathroom which brought us to the last person at their closing hour, 3pm. When we walked out the door, one of the employee yelled yay. Not sure why he yelled yay, maybe because we finally left which I think kinda rude. We didn’t purposely linger but need to use the bathroom before we left. But overall good food and service were fine until the last minute we walked out the door.

Nice place, the food was really good. I ordered Tuscan chicken panini with chicken rice and vegetable soup. My husband ordered grilled cheese with bacon and buffalo chicken soup. And my kids split eclectic chicken gyro which came with pasta salad or potato salad. We picked pasta salad. I think my husband’s soup was better… the buffalo chicken and I liked his sandwich and the kids sandwich better than mine. The pasta salad has a balsamic vinaigrette hint to it. The prices were not too expensive about $8 each item and they take military discounts so all together was about $35 with two soft drinks. I also bought four cake pops the chocolate kind. it wasn’t chocolate inside the chocolate was only outside the inside to me tasted like cookie dough I didn’t really care for it. I had better cake pops elsewhere. FYI they have a changing table in the bathroom which is really nice if you have little kids.
