2008.
A West Ashley institution since 2008 — locally owned, breakfast served all day, and walls covered in local art. Grab a counter seat, the coffee's King Bean and the grits are stone-ground.
In 2012, Guy Fieri rolled in for Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and went straight for the chicken & waffles — pecan-crusted chicken on a cinnamon waffle. Charleston already knew. Now everybody does.
Local art on the walls — and for sale
