Charleston Eats
Went here for Brunch. Very experienced, friendly, and attentive staff. This one of several branches in the Charleston area, the first opened in 2005 and it has been awarded many accolades across multiple platforms for its brunch.
It was busy, but not packed when we arrived around 10:00. There was a short line/wait when we left around 11:00.
Food was decent, we had “New Orleans Beignets” which were fried, served with powdered sugar and fresh preserves ($10), they will not look like what you’d traditionally see (see photo), and a purist might be disappointed.
We also had the Steak and Eggs, which included an 8oz butcher cut steak, (great cut) with two eggs prepared to your choice ($21), with toast and a choice of potatoes or grits… I recommend the potatoes, they were the best thing I had at this meal.
Finally, ordered the Blue Crab and Shrimp Low Country Omelette ($23)… pleased to see it was real crab meat and not imitation. It included pepper-jack cheese, sautéed mushrooms, green peppers, tomatoes. This also came with grits, which was the most disappointing part of the meal, especially since this restaurant is known for them. They were lumpy and dry.
The value for money is tough here as it is across the country, but particularly so in Charleston, at this time. Specifically, you receive a 3% service charge whether you use a credit card or not, often regardless of the swipe fee charged by the credit card company, at least that was the case here. Sales tax also varies, it was 10.9% here. If you don’t tip on tax, and are a middle-of-the-road tipper for good service (~18%), nearly a third of your bill are fees. We paid $84 for two people, no alcohol.

Food was absolutely delicious! We ordered the sausage gravy and biscuits, Eggs on Meeting, French toast and Belgium waffle! Service was provided by Brandy and she did great with her recommendations! Freshly squeezed orange juice of mimosas to choose from too!

Arrived with a party of 8 on a Saturday around noon. The place was busy; however, the host was able to accommodate us in under 10 minutes. Our server, who I do not remember, was a tall, slender gentleman with white hair. He was nice and seemed knowledgeable. Most of the girls ordered Bloody Marys (pictured) and I just got a soda water with lime as they have Pepsi products. I ordered the BLT, and upon asking questions about the bread I found that they do NOT make their bread in house? The menu states house made bread so whoever updates the menu might want to correct it as it is misleading. I’m pregnant and needed food accommodations, like ensuring my bacon was cooked crispy and swapping arugula lettuce for romaine. When the sandwich came out, it did not have the sauce and I was missing my fries. Luckily it came out relatively quick so I finished making the sandwich and cut it myself. The flavors were good! Our server made sure we had everything we needed. Overall it was a solid visit, but I would definitely ensure your menu is updated.

The waiter was great and even gave us suggestions for other places to try (we try a new local restaurant every Saturday). The food was amazing, we had the Belgian waffle and Charleston Omelet both we amazing. The home fries we a perfect golden brown color all over. We tried the Momosa flight, couldn’t decide which flavor was the best but peach belini was really good.

I ordered a basic breakfast and it was fine. I didn’t care for their coffee… it was a little bitter/acidic for me….. which i really wanted a great cup of coffee… so maybe why I didn’t give higher rating:( The place had a cozy, comfortable feel to it. The staff was incredibly friendly and I would happily return again.

From the moment I walked in I was greeted by two amazing team members. Absolutely lovely ladies! I made the choice to sit at the bar where Shane introduced himself and he is amazing. I ordered a tropical mimosa and it was to die for. For breakfast I had the steak and eggs and it was cooked to perfection. The entire team is amazing from start to finish and I will definitely be returning

This is our second time having breakfast at Toast while visiting Charleston and it was just as good this time as the first time. Steak and eggs were cooked exactly as ordered. Steak was well seasoned and medium, super tender. Egg whites cooked all the way and runny yolks. Toast was crispy on the outside and soft inside. Our server was Steven and he was fast, knowledgeable and attentive.
