Yelp helped me discover this quaint country diner. The exterior boasts a mountain like atmosphere. The interior just reassures you that you will be in for some scrumptious country cooking. We were not disappointed. The menu is very reasonably priced for breakfast. Both my husband and I had meals under $7. I had eggs, sausage, home fries, and toast. Please note they only have white and rye on hand. My husband had a spinach, feta, and tomato omelet. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The portions are very large. The coffee was good and the sweet tea was sweetened perfectly. The service was fantastic. Everyone from the hostess, to the waitress, to the cashier was very nice and welcoming. We had a great time and will definitely be back. I saw some negative reviews and I am not sure why. The service was great, the place was clean, and the prices were great! I would definitely recommend this. Also, as a bonus they have an ice cream parlor attached and you can order ice cream and Italian sodas as well. read more

We had the opportunity of being one of the first customers at The Bridge restaurant while enjoying the Hemby Bridge Christmas Parade. The steak sandwich was outstanding. We will be back once you get your dining room open. read more

I and my fiancé have food poising. What an awful place . Not only did it take forever to get our food , but 29$ worth of food...no way! I overpaid , and over trusted their awful service . read more

Great burgers (pimento cheese burger) yummy!!! The dip they bring you when you are seated is awesome too.

Amazing as always! Eggs were cooked to perfection and the bacon as crisp as I wanted. This is a fantastic place for breakfast, as well as lunch, and dinner on the weekends. read more

Being new to the area, we were quite curious ! Dinner was our choice time to visit and so glad we did. This is what comfortable and satisfying dining out is about. We'll certainly be returning and I look forward to the next experience. read more

My husband and I have been here a few times for breakfast and once for lunch, and every time I am more and more impressed! As many have said, the food and the service are both great. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and on top of that, the interior of the building is well built and so attractive--even the bathroom is beautiful and clean! read more

Went there at 10: 00 in the morning for breakfast and was told they stoped serving breakfast and were now serving lunch.As we were about to leave we were told they would make the effort and get us breakfast.It was OK. nothing to complain about exept greasy pototoes. I'll take this place off of our eating establishments. read more

Stopped at this ultra-cute restaurant with the kids the other day; don't remember what day of the week or what time but we did not have a wait to get seated...although I do think we got the last table as the place was busy. Our waitress, Megan, was lovely. The food came out in a timely manner, except for the side salad which my son would have preferred as an appetizer but came with the meal. Not a big deal. The food was delicious! My kids are picky and they were happy. There was enough grilled chicken to take home...two huge pieces came on the plate, and one of them went home with the salad for a nice dinner that night. We always rate our restaurants on a scale of 1-10 when we leave and it got a 7-9 from all three of us. Can't wait to go again! (Note to Penny's in Mint Hill, which I reviewed earlier: The Bridge is what you want to be.) read more

I can't say enough about the Bridge. They do it right. Good food, fair prices. We have been for breakfast several times and dinner twice. If you are looking for a good country breakfast this is the place. read more

Arrived at 10:40 for breakfast, however they stop serving breakfast at 10:30. So, we decided to order lunch. We waited for our food for 40 minutes! Waitress stated the delay was due to the health inspector being there. (??) My chicken tenders and fries were good, but were cold. So, I ended up taking half of my food home. The lettuce in my garden salad seemed to have been frozen and then defrosted. My brother ordered a hamburger and mashed potatoes. Food was cold, nothing special. I sure hope they take these reviews into consideration so that they can stay in business. Place is beautiful, reminds me of camping. Waitress was very friendly and attentive. read more

Good food, great atmosphere, friendly staff really enjoy the breakfasts. The prices are very affordable. Overall a great value!!

Fantastic daily specials, friendly staff and quick service. Try the grilled salmon salad (when available)!

Let me start by saying the parking is behind the building. As you walk in you're met by beautiful landscapes and flowers. They serve lunch, at least that's what we were here for, so I'm not sure why it says brunch. Anyway before you walk in check out the sign with the days specials and veggies for the day. Today, Tuesday was chicken and dumplings with one side and meatloaf with two. We had a group of six and were offered several different options of places to sit. I was thrilled with the "cowboy caviar " field peas corn and other things. It was excellent!! Most got the chicken and dumplings. I couldn't decide so I got a vegetable plate to take home and a chef salad to eat there. Everyone was pleased!! The service was kind, fast and very attentive. I would love to know their squash casserole recipe..... promote whoever came up with that!! I highly recommend this treasure, who pride themselves on the beliefs and traditions of their families before them!! I remember this building when it was a convenience store, even then I felt like family coming through reading their meter and stopping in to say hi and get a piece of hoop cheese and TRYING to buy a mnt dew, he never would take my money!! read more

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. I highly recommend this place. Kevin and Julie have done a wonderful job of presenting a first class menu at affordable prices. read more

Signs and hours posted say they are open until 2:30. Got there at 2:20 and closed. Disappointing.

Went for lunch with a friend and this place was packed. The food wasn't bad, it was just nothing special. Don't think I'll be back.

The food is southern and pretty good, the service is outstanding. One is really make to feel at home. I'll go back many times.

There today for lunch and had chicken salad croissant and salad as side w/sweet tea. Everything was good and salad cut into bite-size pieces instead of just dumped out of a bag as it typical. However, they need info, such as daily special, either as insert to menu or posted more prominently. Complimentary "bridge caviar" only so-so. Daily special, breakfast -- something -- should include drink. Many other restaurants have some "perk" for seniors but I saw none here. (Maybe they think there are so many seniors in Hemby Bridge it could cost too much.) Finally, you don't control your tip, except to choose 18%, 20% & up! I am a good tipper but do not like someone dictating my tip! (I've never seen this anywhere unless it's a party.) Overall, they've done a good job. read more

Awesome place! You are treated like family. They have a great selection of food. Squash casserole is to die for! Favorite place for my entire family. read more

My wife and I live near The Bridge. We first tried it several weeks ago and each time we have been pleased with both the quality of the food and the service. We love the owners. They're amazing people. They seem to care very deeply about their customers and the quality of both the food and service. They always come by and ask how we liked it. When they realize the coconut cake was a little dry, they told us they weren't going to charge us for it. And it seems everyone who works there goes out of their way to be helpful and friendly. The breakfast is great and everything We've had on the dinner menu was wonderful. They are continually working hard to improve everything they do. Observing the overall operation it is clear they try to do everything with excellence. read more

I confess I've only been once. Their breakfast is fantastic. Make sure you get there early because that line gets long later in the morning. I'm sure their dinner is good, hadn't tried it yet. The omlettes were awesome. Good tasting coffee. Overall great atmosphere read more

Ate lunch at The Bridge. The chicken salad on croissant was bland. We ordered a side salad and it was literally shredded lettuce on a plate with nothing else - only the lettuce. We also ordered BBQ platters and they told us they had no BBQ sauce. The BBQ was ok. The sweet potato casserole and cole slaw were good. Service was friendly. Lots of staff taking care of us. I'll give this place some time to work out the kinks before giving it a second chance. read more

Have no idea how there food is. Went here today for lunch and it was quite busy. Put out name on list and waited outside. 40 minutes later still not seated and to find out they just skipped over our name. Bad customer service. read more

Pretty standard Greek or American diner type food for breakfast and lunch which is what I was hoping for as I watched them build the place from the ground up over the last year. They did a good job with the construction and it's beautiful inside and out, and the staff was nice and attentive and the black eyed peas and bean and corn relish or whatever you want to call it with flour tortilla chips is a nice touch. I also liked their bread which seemed baked in house, and my buddy Tom's grilled chicken was good. He said they were small but he got two and the prices are reasonable so he had no complaints. We both liked the vegetables we got too, homestyle stuff like lima beans and broccoli casserole for me and green beans and a salad for Tom. My main gripe is with the "chicken and stuffing casserole" I got, which was the daily special. First, I'm not sure you want your waitress describing the dish as chicken and stuffing cooked with "Cream of Celery soup." While that is probably the recipe based on what I had and it evokes the homestyle cooking the restaurant to trying to push, in today's restaurant market where you're competing against chef driven places that stresses fresh and local ingredients - which The Bridge is trying to do too by mentioning farmers in their "About us" paragraph on their menu and website - I don't think it's good overall to have your wait staff bring up an image of a cook in the kitchen using Campbell's Cream of Celery Soup to make a dish you're selling in a restaurant. The other thing that really annoyed me was the dish itself and the portion. I guess I was expecting something like cafeteria style turkey and dressing or Boston Market's chicken pot pie, where there's at least a few big slices or chunks of chicken. What I got, and which I took pictures of, was an ice cream scoop sized ball of stuffing with maybe a table spoon of small pieces of chicken that looked like they had been picked off another dish, like maybe the cook had some leftover baked chicken or something and decided to make a daily special out of it. There were no chunks of chicken, nothing that looked like it was cut up specifically for the dish, or even anything bigger than the size of peas. And even if there were, how much chicken can you get in an ice cream scoop of "chicken and stuffing casserole," which was basically stuffing. Full disclosure: I'm a chef school drop out from Johnson & Wales and I've only cooked professionally for a few months, but I did get an A in menu planning and recipe cost analysis, and the generally accepted rule for food cost is 33% of the menu price. I'd estimate the recipe cost on my "chicken" and stuffing casserole scoop, broccoli casserole scoop and lima beans to be around $1, and the menu price was $7.95. That just annoys me, plus just not getting any chicken when it was supposed to be my protein for the meal. Charge me another $2 if you want, but for my main non vegetable dish called a type of chicken casserole I'd like to eat at least a couple of ounces of chicken. Some chefs will use their daily specials to feature items using seasonal ingredients or ingredients they bought in small quantities or just to test out a dish before adding it to the menu. The Bridge seems to be starting in another direction with their daily specials, which is too bad, because this place is 3 minutes from my house and it has the potential to be a very good restaurant. read more
