Periwinkle Kitchen — Restaurant in South Carolina

I read so much about this place. That the food was so great. I knew they changed the menu. That’s fine. I live on Johns Island so it’s not that far out of the way. I told my friend we should try a new place bc the food looked interesting and got all these great reviews.

Both of us went for lunch and I’m sorry to say we were not impressed. We did not see anything on the menu that sang out to us. So that was a bad sign. My friend settled for the Chicken Caesar Wrap. I settled for the Turkey with stuffing, cranberry on Ciabatta. Not cheap! When we got served, the server asked us if we wanted some forks . When we said “ yes”. We never saw her again. And the place was not busy.

My friends wrap looked like I could hv made it. Mine? Was awful. I managed to eat half. It was dry. So salty! The bread was dry and not even toasted. I couldn’t believe it. And there was hardly any cranberry sauce on it. They loaded a lot of stuffing, but hardly any turkey. For $15.95? I don’t think so.

My friend told me her wrap was very mediocre. When we left she said we don’t hv to come back here.

I just couldn’t believe what we were served based on these rave reviews. I mean when you go to Five Loaves?? You get a Turkey sandwich! I have been going there for years. I thought this place was going to be more like them. I’m...

To say that we loved our experience at Periwinkle would be an absolute understatement. The owners (Kim and John) were amazing, more than accomodating, and made for a very fun and inviting breakfast. We were made to feel like we were home, which was special (you dont get that everywhere)! There was playful banter (for ex, when John teased my husband and FIL about not eating bacon/meat and asked where they were from lol). Btw, everyone who ate the bacon raved about it and said it was superior. The grits were also outstanding (vouched by a native Georgia family; even our 13yo said so). I loved their homemade juices too, so good. Everyone we met with at Periwinkle was attentive, professional and personable. Kim and John sat down with us, and shared recommendations for places to see and things to do during our stay. They even gave a business card and said we can call or text with any questions during our stay (which we did). It's obvious the people at Periwinkle care and have a genuine desire to build rapport with their customer base. Next time we're in the area, we will make it a point to visit. If you're looking for a quality breakfast spot that serves more than just good food and drink, make...

My husband and I popped in after church today looking forward to something tasty. The owners have done a nice job with the limited space that they have. The place is clean and inviting. The staff are all very pleasant and helpful. The owners are very pleasant and attentive. Unfortunately, the menu seems to be disconnected. My husband and I decided that neither of us was super hungry so we chose to split a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. So glad we did. The chicken had been unevenly pounded resulting in over cooked, dry meat. The fries were good but too heavily salted. I had specifically asked if they had sweet tea and was told that they did. However, they do not. They can sweeten it with simple sugar which is okay, but not quite the same. This is the South. Would it really be that hard or that much more of an expense to offer pre- sweetened (with sugar) tea? This location has a somewhat captive audience, so hopefully they will elicit suggestions from customers for possible future offerings. We will definitely come again to give it...
