I've been wanting to check out this cute location since it opened and I finally was in the area…read morearound lunch time to give them a try. I was a bit early for lunch arriving around 11:30 am. There was only two people in this very cute restaurant. Lots of table and chairs inside and outside for seating. I was a bit overwhelmed trying to take everything in. They have a counter top where you can see them cutting actual chicken and potatoes for the fries and placing them into what appears to be high pressure deep fryers. This place has been set up to make you the best pieces of chicken you can get. I ordered The Beaut (minus the mayo) a large chicken breast covered in a crispy batter and perfectly deep fried! There was a good amount of pickles with the sandwich, like 4 or 5 which really covered the entire sandwich so you always got a bit of them. The bun was not my favorite. I'm not sure how to describe it. A little smushed is the best way I guess. I also ordered a 6 piece bites package. These things were full on huge chunks of chicken they seasoned and deep fried. I don't normally like to take pictures of food partially eaten but I had to show what one of the bites looked like after taking a bite. They were large, hot and cooked to perfection. I did try some of their BBQ sauce. Not a big fan but it wasn't bad. I also got an order of the skin on hand cut fries! OMG they were so good! They gave me a large bag of hot fries that just totally completed this meal! And I'm talking they should have come with a warning they were so hot! Loved it! As I was waiting for my order to be bagged I notice the large cookies and the glazed hand pies they had on the counter. This isn't like other major food chains so the price is a little higher but you are getting quality food. If you are looking for some good fried chicken and hot fries then I highly recommend this place!

For some reason I thought it was a hot chicken sandwich place. Very cool throw back dinner motif…read more Ample indoor and outdoor seating. Staff was friendly, food was quick I got the cheesy Beaut the sandwich was a good chicken sandwich crisp not greasy. Good flavor for a standard chicken sandwich, a little more mayo than I prefer, but it's dukes which is outstanding. In retrospect there is a hot thigh sandwich, they need a breast sandwich "Nashville hot" They offer some sauces but it did not notice when ordering, if they ask I would have bought some Slaw was very good It's worth a try, it's very good chicken

Best Chicken Sandwich with a side of fries and banana pudding and cucumbers salad. Ps Chicken sandwich is the best to order.

I almost ordered a second serving before realizing we still had four other dishes coming! The chicken and waffles definitely satisfied my craving--crispy, savory, and full of flavor. The mushroom ravioli was also outstanding. We finished with the stuffed calamari, which reminded me of something my mom used to make when I was younger. It wasn't Asian-inspired like hers, but the concept brought back some wonderful memories. To top it all off, I enjoyed a delicious dessert while feeling pleasantly tipsy from the evening.

If you're looking for a breakfast spot that offers something a little bit different, Poppyseed Kitchen is definitely worth checking out. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with friendly smiles and attentive service that really made me feel welcome. The owner even came by to check on my coffee order to make sure it was exactly what I wanted, which was a really nice touch. #womanowned Now, let's talk about the food. The savory toast was a standout for me, with perfectly toasted bread topped with juicy tomatoes, crispy prosciutto, and a sprinkle of herbs. It was a flavor combination that I had never tried before, and I absolutely loved it. But the real surprise for me was the sweet toast. Instead of the typical berries and cream, this toast was topped with sliced bananas, a generous dollop of creamy peanut butter, and a drizzle of honey. The combination of sweet and salty was spot on, and I couldn't get enough of it. And let's not forget about the brisket hash. It was truly the star of the show, with tender brisket, crispy potatoes, and a perfectly poached egg on top. Every bite was bursting with flavor and texture, and it was definitely worth every penny. I highly recommend Poppyseed Kitchen for anyone looking for a unique and delicious breakfast experience. From the attentive service to the creative and flavorful dishes, it's a spot that you won't want to miss. read more

I recently had the pleasure of trying out Poppy Kitchen in Fort Mill, South Carolina, with my Mom and I must say, we were thoroughly impressed. Their croissant breakfast sandwich was a delightful treat - the croissant was flaky and buttery, the eggs were perfectly fried, and the addition of cheese and bacon elevated the flavor to another level. It was the ideal way to start my day. The owners and staff were super welcoming! Equally impressive was their sourdough sandwich with turkey sausage. The sourdough bread was toasted to perfection, providing a satisfying crunch with every bite. The turkey sausage was flavorful and juicy, complemented perfectly with rosemary hash. It was a hearty and satisfying meal that left me feeling energized and ready to tackle the day ahead. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The prices were reasonable for the quality of food and service provided. Overall, I highly recommend Poppy Kitchen to anyone in the Fort Mill area looking for a delicious breakfast option. I will definitely be returning to try more of their offerings in the future. read more

Poppyseed Kitchen is one of my favorite local restaurants. The Blackberry French Toast is absolutely heavenly. It's the perfect balance of sweetness and flavor, and it's one of those dishes I look forward to every time I visit. The Sweet Oats are also delicious and make a great choice if you're looking for something comforting and wholesome. I also can't say enough about their homemade Pop-Tarts. They're fresh, unique, and honestly some of the best I've ever had. What I love most is that Poppyseed Kitchen is a charming family-owned business with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you feel at home whether you're meeting friends for lunch or enjoying a meal with family. The food is consistently excellent, the staff is friendly, and you can tell they put a lot of love into everything they do. If you're looking for a cozy local gem with amazing food and genuine hospitality, Poppyseed Kitchen is a place you'll want to visit again and again. read more

My visit to Poppyseed Kitchen was delightful. I ordered the chicken & waffle with scrambled eggs and a side of grits, and everything was flavorful and well-prepared. I also picked up some pastries for the next day, which felt like a two-for-one treat. The service was exceptional--welcoming and attentive--and the team made everyone feel at home. For the coffee prices to be comparable to Starbucks, the quality was much better, making it worth every penny. The parking lot on a Sunday wasn't an issue, which added to the smooth experience. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I discovered a winning combination: their Iced Caramel Latte and Chicken Parm Sandwich.
