I read enough negative reviews to hesitate before choosing this spot for breakfast and wondered if…read moremaybe the many glowing reviews were plants. ABSOLUTELY NOT! I'd begin by raving about the appearance of the place, but we didn't get through the door before the first person, and quickly the second, greeted us with a cheery hello. Whoa! The interior is warm, welcoming, and lovely. Water and coffee arrived immediately, followed by the first welcomer who was ready to take our orders. The food arrived quickly, was beautifully plated, and delicious. The continuously refilled coffee was deliciously addictive and worthy on its own of multiple return visits. But even without that scrumptious caffeine, we'd return daily if we had less self control! Thank you to all who contributed to such a wonderful experience!

One of the waitresses actually took my number down because I kept calling to see if they had a certain special added to the menu and she called me this morning at 7:15 and told me they didn't have it and I rushed right down and she made it feel like it was such a big deal anyways I just can't say enough good things about these wonderful people who run it! The prices are pretty typical for Charleston prices, but you're getting what you're pay for. I've been here eight years now and it's some of the best food I've had down here in the Low Country! The fellows sitting behind me had the seafood omelette. I've never seen anything quite like it, but it looked Delicious and Amazing! .

I ordered the Chicken Caesar wrap with fries, but ended up getting onion rings instead. It was not a big deal. They were still decent, just not what I ordered. The food itself was slightly above average and fine for a casual meal. The service was average as well. Our waitress was polite but nothing really stood out in terms of attentiveness. The inside of the restaurant was pretty basic, with a simple setup that did not add much to the overall experience. I don't think I will be back.

This time we climbed to the second floor to find a table at what I would describe as the most inviting bar in the South due to the eclectic decor and the appearance of the bar itself with dozens of upside down bottles hanging from the ceiling that at first I thought they were there just to decorate the place but nooo! they actually poured the specialty bourbon we ordered which BTW was very good and was only 90 proof which was a very nice match to my Yingling, we spent about two hours there and not because the service was slow but because we were having a good time, at times was a little loud but my out of town friends truly enjoyed the kind of place, they said that next time they come to town they would like to come back to the very same table. The conversation and good times is what kept me from taking a picture of the dishes I ordered the Cajun Pasta, was absolutely delicious and will order again the next time I go back, wife ordered the Pecan pork chops and said it was made with her cravings in mind I won't be waiting for out of towners to come in order to go back, this has become my most trusted and preferred Southern restaurant in Chucktown/Summerville area, no questions and way better than any distant second best that we have been, make it 8 stars! Our server was Cameron and she is a charming young lady that makes every effort to comply with your most demanding requests same as previously served in the lower level by another extraordinary server by the name of Sophie, their smiles compliment the flavors and drinks

Waitress could have been better. She seemed a little over us and not the friendliest. Didn't stop us from enjoying our time. We sat outside and it was a hot day, but plenty of tables with umbrellas. Food came quickly (table of 6). One of the kids meals was forgotten and had to be re-fired but nbd- happens to the best of us. Chicken tenders were real chicken so loved that. The Caesar was delicious and added on blackened salmon which was also great. Will definitely visit again in the future!

Howard's feels less like a restaurant and more like walking into your grandmother's kitchen on a…read moreSunday morning--if your grandmother happened to be feeding half the town. The place is always buzzing, and it's immediately obvious that many of the customers are regulars. There are no menus here. Instead, the waitress hands you a notepad and tells you to write down whatever you want. Not sure what to order? Wanda was happy to point us toward favorites like the blueberry pancakes and corned beef hash. The whole experience is refreshingly simple and surprisingly charming. Speaking of Wanda, she treated everyone like old friends stopping by for breakfast. Another employee wandered through the dining room chatting with customers and checking on folks like she had known them for years. Whether she actually knew everyone or just made it feel that way remains one of Howard's great mysteries. We ordered a mix of blueberry pancakes, eggs, bacon, and biscuits and gravy. Everything was delicious, but the blueberry pancakes stole the show. The biscuits and gravy arrived on a plate that appeared to have surrendered completely to the gravy. If you leave hungry, that's probably a personal choice. One of the most entertaining parts of the experience is the honor system. Since you write down your own order, you'd better remember what you asked for when the food arrives and again when it's time to pay. No cheating. The open kitchen lets you watch the cooks at work, and the entire place feels like a gathering spot as much as a restaurant. The downside is that it gets crowded. You may have to wait for a table, and sharing a table with strangers isn't out of the question. If you're looking for white tablecloths, printed menus, and a polished dining experience, keep driving. If you're looking for good food, friendly people, local gossip, and a breakfast experience that feels like a community event, Howard's is exactly where you want to be. PS, bring cash because that's all they take. But there is an ATM in the building if you forget!

After working on a house painting project, we needed a break to enjoy a simple meal as we were. Upon entering there's a sign that reads wait to be seated. They offer pick-up and to-go orders so there's an organized setup. The menu is extensive - there's loads of options with breakfast lunch and dinner. Ruby was super kind, attentive, and offered good selections with the menu. My go-to at diners is either a tuna or beef patty melt so enjoyed my beefy patty melt..it had a good bit of onions and mayo. For my side I swapped the fries out for the salad. Best tip would be to go with their house made ranch dressing..it's delicious! I had the thousand island which isn't bad but upon trying the ranch wanted to drink it from how creamy and buttermilk-like it was haha my fiancé got the Philly cheesesteak and the meat and green peppers was dynamite! So good! The side fries weren't salty so appreciated that. Overall loved the comforting energy of the restaurant with an accepting atmosphere to come as you are and with an empty stomach looking to get nourished. I'll be back to try the pie!

I checked Resy and it didn't show any available slots for brunch, but after calling the restaurant we were told that they did not have a wait so to come on in. We arrived at 12:30 and it was a smaller crowd than expected for that time period. It was a beautiful day and we opted to eat indoors, but were placed at a two top right next to the window. It was a lovely view of the grounds. We ordered a mimosa pitcher for $25. It was well mixed and had a good amount of champagne in it. I opted for the fried green tomato benedict with fresh fruit. I liked that they had many options to choose from in regard to benedicts. The sauce on it was delicious and I enjoyed the strawberries and blueberries as well. My husband opted for the double smashburger and it was awesome. We loved the caramelized onions, brioche buns, and creamy sauce on it. The fries were battered and crispy, which is our favorite. Our server, Chris, was delightful and made the experience enjoyable.
