I was passing through Charleston and considered grabbing something quick. I’m glad I didn’t. I ended up wandering into South Side Cafe and had a great experience. The family-owned spot has a quintessential old diner feel with a classic breakfast and lunch menu prepared right behind the counter. The service was lovely, the food tasted great, and the prices are unbeatable. I’d be visiting frequently if I lived in town.

Best little secret in Charleston. Cute restaurant tucked in just South of the courthouse. It's a must see. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. Our youngest loves spinning on their stools at the bar. We love this small town, down home cafe. The food is so good. They have fried mush if you ask.

The food was home cooked and it came out very fast. We watched our 3 orders be cooked and brought to the table in great time. And just like mom or grandma would make.

It's my favorite diner of all time. Everything is really good, it's well priced and the owners are really cool humans. They are one of the few places that can actually cook hashbrowns well. The coffee does make me have to pee all the time, but that isn't their fault. They have some booths, or you can sit at the bar. Classic breakfast fair with some lunch options. I've had the burgers, and they're okay, but breakfast here is my favorite. They have daily specials, some baked goods and really nice wreaths. They do close in the early afternoon, so get in early. Love this place so...

I usually get the breakfast. Today I got the philly steak. It had great flavor But it was presented in a manner which I had never seen. It was all one piece of sirloin that hadn't been broken up and it was on a toasted hamburger bun. My gf had a turkey burger and broccoli cheese soup. She was very satisfied with both. The bacon cheeseburger is great too. The patty is frozen but you can't really tell. The girls are always friendly there, prompt...

There is not ONE thing to complain about in any regard to South Side! I have been going to eat here since I was a teenager in 2016, and due to its warm, cozy atmosphere it's made me some core-memories in the winter-time year after year!

I hope the workers there get to see this review and know it's the long-haired kid they've watched grow up for years; you're my absolute favorite shop to support in town, next to...
