Wonderful restaurant. The staff is great, the food is wonderful and consistently good. I’ve gone here for years, and finally got around to writing a review. The things I would recommend are the biscuit bake, every hash available , and the lobster omelet. I’m sure the other omelets are great, but their lobster omelet is unbelievable. It’s packed with lobster. I really feel I get my moneys worth with that dish, but of course I know lobster (or any seafood) omelet might not be for everyone. But it’s done exceptionally well if that’s what you like . Coffee is also great here. I just love this restaurant, and I almost always go for breakfast .

I hate to do this but we were so underwhelmed that I have no choice. Our friends rave about this place so I’m hoping this was a one time fluke but that’s hard to imagine.
It’s worth noting that our server Ashley was excellent but that just didn’t make up for the food.
Brussels: 3/3 – they brought them out in ~2 minutes and they were cold. These were clearly another tables or made in advance.
Fried Green Tomatoes: 2/5 – also came out in 2 minutes and were cold. Too much breading.
White Bean Soup: 2/5 not a fan
Crab Cakes: 3/5 – not bad but I suspect it was because everything else was not good
Goat cheese salad: 3/5 – it was ok but not that great
Unfortunately we wont 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!

My wife and I dined here this past Tuesday evening, and let me just say — what a sleeper hit of a restaurant.
We were greeted at the door by a kind lady in a pink dress who immediately gave us a good first impression. I asked for a booth (because let’s be honest, booths > tables), and she kindly let us know one would be ready shortly. We waited about ten minutes while it dried — no biggie. I’d rather wait for a clean booth than slide into someone else’s leftover ranch dressing.
Once seated, we were welcomed by Eric, our waiter for the evening. Eric was on point — respectful, attentive, and handled his job with care and pride. I’ve worked in customer service before, so I try to judge fairly — not every waiter has the same style, but Eric clearly knew what he was doing. Drinks stayed full, service was smooth, and we never felt like we had to flag him down or guess where he went.
Now, the food… that’s where this place really flexed.
I ordered the shrimp and grits, and let me tell you — I’ve had shrimp and grits in high-end restaurants across the South, and this dish could sit at the same table. Perfectly cooked, seasoned well, and the addition of spinach? That was a bold move — and it worked. Like, genius-level worked.
My wife ordered the blackened salmon pasta, and of course, we shared bites (the marriage law requires it). The pasta was cooked just right, but what really shocked us? The chicken in it was not overcooked. That’s becoming a rare achievement these days. Most places serve chicken so dry it could be used as packing foam. Not here. This was flavorful, tender, and clearly prepped by a chef who knows the rules — and respects the ingredients. Whoever was in that kitchen wasn’t just cooking — they were composing.
Then came dessert. We asked Eric what he recommended, and he gave us the rundown. But when he said red velvet cheesecake, I raised an eyebrow. I’d never seen a cheesecake look like that when he brought it out — it was different. Honestly, at first glance, I was ready to be disappointed. But then I took a bite…
Cue the dramatic music.
My wife and I just looked at each other. No words. Just that silent, wide-eyed “holy crap” face. It was ridiculously good. Moist, rich, and somehow light and dense at the same time. We polished off that plate like two people who told themselves they’d “just try one bite.”
All in, I had two drinks, shrimp and grits, her pasta, the cheesecake, and left Eric a $20 cash tip. The bill came to around $100 — and I’d gladly pay it again. For the quality, experience, and pure flavor, it felt like money well spent.
We’ll absolutely be back — not just because of the great food and service, but because this place made an impression. I’d recommend it to anyone who appreciates well-made food served with care and class — with just enough surprise to make the night memorable.

Great brunch, the place was packed! We went for lunch, not realizing on Sunday that that is brunch and that they close at two. Always up for a good brunch experience. We had a great time. We actually sat and ate at the bar. My husband chose the medium Bloody Mary, which was delicious, I opted for the mimosa flight (there were 6 or 8 options to choose from).
for meals, my husband chose the Montecristo and I chose the shrimp and grits. The bartender assured us both were delicious and they were. The shrimp and grits or different than any I’ve ever had as it included wilted, spinach and tomatoes, but it was very, very good. Our bartender was attentive, service was fairly quick, and our experience was great. Would definitely go again

The worst breakfast spot in Fort Mill, I started eating my food but had to stop for this picture which shows thier idea of medium eggs, if I had more time I would have gone back, but just know you go here no telling what they will serve you I’ve had other experiences that were not favorable with them, but this was the last straw I now know they are consistently bad. What makes me even more upset is I gave a tip which I don’t agree with on carry outs because why? I did however and will not do it again, particularly when the food may be trash.

Great little place. Ashley was our server and she was absolutely amazing, from talking through some of the menu items, getting the food spot on and just being very attentive and friendly.
First I love the little coke can glasses, very cool/cute. Wife had sweet tea and said it passes on the southern scale lol.
We started with the crab cakes, which I thought were fantastic, especially with some ginger they served it with. Wife thought it was just a little on the spicy side.
I had the patty melt with the sweet potato fries. Patty melt was very good and definitely generous on the steak. The sweet potato fries were the best I’ve had. I try pretty much every place I go so that’s saying a lot. They added (what I believe) a little bit of cinnamon and man thats a game changer, just awesome!
Wife had the club which went great with their aioli sauce and parmesan fries and they were also amazing, especially with their in house mustard.
Overall I would highly recommend this place if you’re in the area. You won’t be disappointed.

Do NOT pass on this place up! Amazing dinner from locally sourced products (which we always try to find), a must try! My husband loved the short rib, I loved the house salad with added shrimp. The balsamic brussel sprouts were a great start to the meal and we topped it off by sharing a flavorful but light peach cobbler. Sadly, we are leaving to travel home in the morning or we would be back soon! Cassie offered great service well! Highly recommendwould

My first time in town and had no idea where to go for dinner. The Flipside Cafe was right around the corner from our hotel so we took a chance… we chose wisely!
This is a really cute restaurant that has a very positive vibe and our server Kallista was amazing. She was super friendly, answered all our questions, checked in regularly and took great care of us. For that reason alone, we will certainly be back when in town.
The food was all very good and made exactly as ordered. Got a great pour on some Blantons.
