This is a tough one for me. The food was good, however, there are no menus. If you are like me and struggle to know what you want until you see choices on a menu, this may not be the right place for you. It is a nice concept, you seat yourself and order anything you want. They have daily specials, but can also accommodate nearly any meal requests. read more

Food was amazing and cooked fresh. Very friendly and personable staff. Low prices and very affordable. The atmosphere was delightful, everyone was friendly and welcoming. Definitely will be making this place a habit!! Best sausage biscuits and gravy I've eaten in South Carolina!! read more

Great local place to eat! Nice people and great home cooking!! Food was delicious!! Side note they don't have an actual menu lol!

Every time I've gone here, it's always a good experience. The owner and staff are so pleasant. They don't have menus, but have plenty of options. They serve breakfast all day which I love. It gives me a diner feel that I miss coming across. Check them out if you get a chance. read more

I've never been to such a quaint restaurant before, talk about old-timey!! No printed menu the server (often the owner) will recite the special of the day and offer suggestions too. Everything is made to order, fresh and hot. Beware, bring cash because they don't take any electronic form of payment. read more

If you have never been here and are reading this you must go at least once. Wanda will give you an experience you'll never find anywhere else. Like all have said, there are no menus but you can ask for suggestions or order something you'd get somewhere else. I guarantee this to be an unforgettable experience worth a visit. You must note this place is always busy and has been here for years! Go! read more

Inexpensive (thats good) locals hangout (also nice) waitress very sweet and food was just average but it was not very clean or never updated premises read more

Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures today. I went here for a quick breakfast when I was in the Moncks Corner area. This was one of the most unique restaurants I've ever been to, in a good way! If you've never been here before, the first time you go there's a very good chance you'll be required to do a chicken dance as you enter. The fun starts there lol. There are no menus and only cash is accepted. Food is good. Place seemed fairly clean although the floor was a little sticky in some places and there were a few Flys around. Don't let this deter you, it's worth it, just for the experience alone! read more

A very down-home environment with friendly people. Everyone was welcoming and eager to chat. The food was great! I recommend.

What a fun and great place to eat. We were visiting from out of town and so glad we found this little place. We were welcomed as we entered... and of course, I did the requested Chicken Dance!! No menus, and you get to order whatever you are hungry for. We heard some great stories and jokes and were made to feel like we were one of the regulars. I highly recommend you add this to your Moncks Corner visit the next time you are in town... you won't be disappointed. Thanks again to the entire staff for your hospitality!! Until next time, Your Florida Stranger read more

Absolutely love this place. The server is so funny. This is our third time visiting and we always enjoy the food and service. She does trivia with the guest. This time she asked us to name four colleges with a color in their name. When we walked in she told me to write my order down. The cook came and got the order, but they were out of country ham so she had to come back and change my husband's order. The food came quickly and everyone is welcoming and friendly. I had to take a half of star because it is very small and they aren't adhering to Covid spacing. read more

Enjoyed my lunch today. No menu, but food is great. They made me flap my arms to the chicken dance or I could not stay. What a hoot. Very friendly read more

Great Food, Super low prices, and Nostalgic decor! The quintessential "OLD GREASY SPOON", the food was quick, greatly seasoned, well cooked. Chalk boards and posters advertised the daily specials and favorites ordered by regulars. Our waitress was friendly, informative, approachable, and entertaining. She read us the Menu in the form of a Poem. SO darn cute. So don't ask for a menu, there isn't one. The restaurant was decorated with lots of nostalgic memorabilia hanging on the walls. Pictures of Old time movie stars and entertainers. You felt like you've traveled back in time. It was definitely like eating breakfast at Grandma's house. No fuss, No frills but sure tasted good. It is a CASH ONLY BUSINESS. We ordered the Western Omelets with Home Fries it was very filling and very well cooked. I really enjoyed our ride to Moncks Corner for this meal. I highly recommend. read more

I had a bad service today , they took over 20 min to serve the food and it wasn't even busy we were the only people in there ordering food . Waited for sausage and biscuits with gravy and it was never brought to our table . It was just a simple breakfast that we ordered . It wasn't pleasant with the waiter . read more

I am so glad I stumbled upon this place. First off, they have no menus. Don't ask for one or they will look at you funny. You tell them what you want and they make it. Next, bring cash! They do not take any kind of plastic. This is down home, everybody knows everybody, kind of restaurant. You sit where you want and it's like coming home. There are people joining in conversations with other people, sometimes talking across the room. The owner is a character herself and talks loud, so you'll know everything she's talking about. It's just a really cool place where you will be comfortable eating comfort food. read more

Howard's Restaurant - Inside Howard's - Soul Food Near Me - Moncks Corner, South Carolina

Yuppies might say, "Quaint." Country ham was chewy and salty beyond reason. Pancakes were ok but no butter provided, and they asked me If I wanted syrup. It was just a cold bottle of sugar water right from the fridge. What does someone do with dry pancakes? It's an old and established business which I'd rather go to than Waffle House, but Denny's is better (and Denny's is very bad). read more

My cousin suggested this place, honestly the breakfast was very good. I like it that they do not have a menu and you just tell them what you want. When I did get my French toast I saw that there was quite a few hairs in it, I try to be a very nice customer since I work in retail but cmon. Also, one of the ladies that works there came over to see the little baby we had, but then for some reason she kept touching my cousins hair? I don't know, it was a bit odd.. read more

Really good home cooked breakfasts and lunch plates. Friendly staff. Wanda is a wonderful host and will have you laughing in no time. If your in Monck's Corner come here for a meal and support a very deserving long running local business. read more

First things first, the food was alright, nice and simple. What I didn't like was the atmosphere and the amount of attention paid to me. I don't mean in like "need a refill?" or "can I get you anything else?" because that actually never happened. What did happen was one of the staff coming to sit with me to show me their X-rays and surgery scars AFTER I'd gotten my food and started eating, so I was stuck. All I wanted was a quiet breakfast and to enjoy the ambiance. I don't think that's really hard ask. Unfortunately, this is one of the last non chain breakfast places in town, and I won't be back. read more

If you want to slow down, catch your breath, step back in time with Ms. Wanda for a good ole country breakfast. The grits are the best around. My daughter deemed them so. Sprinkle a little cheddar cheese on them. The biscuit and gravy was delicious. Take a trip to Moncks Corner iconic restaurant and you won't regret the trip. There is an antique store right down the road, be sure to check them out too. read more

Simple and Sout, damn good home made food. Order what you want, no menu. Love it. Great staff and Owner

Dag gum good old fashion country food with good service. So popular it will be in a Woody Harrelson project with its homey county atmosphere. read more

Good food and great atmosphere I would recommend this to anyone you likes a little character with their food.

Howard's is an experience more than just dining. The owner floats the place talking loudly and she's very funny. They will cook whatever you want too. Our kids really enjoyed it. read more

I love a diner, always have. Jack Reacher have that in common, at least. Anyway, when I was a kid, I had an uncle in Greenville that drove big rigs across the country for Monsanto. If he got wind somebody was going somewhere, he made sure they knew which truck stops had the best food and friendliest (and prettiest) waitresses, and also which ones had lot lizard problems (when I was a kid I thought he meant lizards, like chameleons and such). So anyway, truck stops, boat landings, mom and pops, Waffle/Huddle House, Pappys, I love them all. That is why I have mixed feelings about Howards. I can say this after 3 visits, and I really like the folks who work there and eat there, but, and here's the thing: good food goes a long way with me. I'll overlook slow service, sticky tables, even dirty utensils, but Howards doesn't feel quaint and quirky, it just feels shabby and old, and not in a good way. My wife went once, never again. There is an abundance of what one of my old chiefs called "old dirt" that seems to be sealed in by decades of fallen grease vapor. If they closed for a week and did a deep, deep cleaning, I might go back. I would love another one of Howards western omelettes, but just can't do it when there are two Waffle Houses and a Huddle House nearby. read more

Super friendly atmosphere. Quick service. Old fashioned ambiance. Tasty breakfast. Located in a small town.

If you are looking for a great breakfast restraint, here it is. Greatest home cooking, very friendly. Much fun with owner and visitors. You leave here just feeling happy to start your day read more

What a find! Food is real good. Prices ate even better. The show rivals Broadway! Wanda's the best. Can't wait to become a regular here.

First timers today and what an experience! We didn't know we were going to enjoy the food as much as the experience! Wanda (the owner) greeted us at the door. Welcomed us and had us sit wherever we wanted. Told us there were no menus and did a speech of what was offered. She gave us a pen and order pad to write down our own order. We soon realized the locals/regulars were walking in and helping themselves to drinks and as they sat down their food was being served without ordering. She knew her customers and what they wanted. We enjoyed our food as it was delicious and cooked just right! However, I think we enjoyed the experience and atmosphere just as much! This is the "at home" vibe of a small town restaurant I've been looking for here! It was definitely an old town at home vibe and we loved it! We plan on going back every Tuesday for lunch or dinner! Can't wait to see what comes of it each week. We left with full bellies and lots of smiles! Thank you Wanda and staff! read more

The service was good; however, they don't take cards (of any kind). So cash only; they do have an ATM there. They also don't have a menu, no listing of what they potentially can serve or prices of any kind. The restaurant had an old school hometown diner feel, and it got stuck in that era. The food tasted wonderful though! read more

Absolutely love the atmosphere and food. I felt out of place walking in and walked out like I was walking out of grandma's house on thanksgiving evening. The owner (waited on us for our first time) was very funny and personable and gave a great speech. The cooks were killing it in their corner, and the waitresses asked if we needed anything a few times. NOTE: There are no menus, you write anything what you want on paper (within reason) and they deliver. ALSO: They don't except any debit or credit cards but they do have an ATM if you need. I would recommend this place and I 100% am coming back. read more

Greeted as you walk in the door. If your looking for country food at its best this is the place to go! Wonderful meal and great service.

This is definitely a mom and pop type of place. My Mom could eat breakfast for every meal of the day so we stopped in to try Howard's. My Mom is a pretty unadventurous eater so breakfast is always pretty easy. Right as we sat down a woman came over to give us her "spiel". She's done this a million times and has a pointing stick and everything. She starts out by saying they have menus but don't like to use 'em. Then you get the rundown of who they are and what they do. I was afraid my Mom might not take well to this approach but she played along and was able to get exactly what she wanted. I had a corn beef hash omelet and it was pretty good. The omelet was huge but I wish they listened when I told them I wanted my homefries well done. The whole schtick is a little over the top but we had a good meal and they're genuine old school folks in here. One thing to remember is to bring cash because they don't take cards... and don't expect to see a menu :) read more

Nope would not do it again. Lunch menu limited to sandwiches and salads. Lunch special was lasagna. Owner was server, asked if homemade, she went on a spiel about no and it was expensive and should probably make homemade. Well I ordered and probably would have been better if not cut from tin, put on plate, microwaved right in front of me and handed to me at counter. Everyone is nice. Constable was wearing USMC sweats, sitting at counter going through menu tickets (maybe she's part owner). Maybe I should have ordered breakfast, although 130 in afternoon. Saw bacon precooked, grits hanging out in pot, nothing covering condiments. This in town restaurant could be so much more, with a little effort. read more
