The food is unique and absolutely delicious. It's reasonably priced but some portions are relatively small. Service was very good. The Mexican Hash with jalapeño garlic chutney. The chutney was the best thing on the plate!! Delicious! The pork was good but nothing special, the hash itself is very good and all the flavors combine well. biscuit donut with the mocha sauce is a must have. The croissant French toast is scrumptious but on the smaller side. read more

Went on a Sunday for brunch around 11 am and it was not terribly busy. We had a party of 5 and we were seated immediately; the ambiance and atmosphere was great. Ordered the biscuits and gravy with chicken and boy was it filling. It was cooked perfectly and delicious. The chicken was a bit extra crispy but tasted great. The biscuits were cooked fresh and were fluffy. The sausage gravy was delicious and so filling with the right combination of savory and spice with the sausage mixed in. read more

The Junction Kitchen - Biscuit with Sausage Gravy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North Charleston, South Carolina

The food here is incredible. It was the best food our whole trip and for the best price. This restaurant had clearly defined vegetarian options, which has been shockingly uncommon in Charleston. The huevos rancheros was delicious. We loved the lack of sloppy gravy and the addition of beans. The avocado toast tasted very fresh, and the egg was cooked to perfection. Our server Michele was wonderful. She was attentive and made us feel like she was there to take care of us. I definitely recommend making a visit here. read more

1 star is for the food 2 star is partially for the manager I would say the Junction Kitchen was a bit disappointing. I had been planning my best friend's bachelorette trip to charleston/north charleston area. 3 of 8 in our group had dietary restrictions (one GF, one gluten allergy, and a severe allergy to onions) - keep in mind. I called 2 weeks ago to make the reservation for our large party of 8. What was not communicated to me verbally was that we were not guaranteed one table that could be together. To be fair, their website explains this and it was on my part for not seeing that, however I do wish it was again communicated over the phone. We were a bit frustrated when arriving, especially since they had just sat another large party right before with a reservation. In those cases, I'm not sure why taking 2 large parties with reservations so close to each other in the first place is a good idea. Either way, we decided to make the best of it. However, the seating ended up not being the real issue. Three months prior to the trip I made the call to ask if they were able to make accommodations for those allergies earlier mentioned and they were very informative that yes, that wouldn't be a problem. Now - no one died, but our server gave us quite a few scares throughout the rest of the dining experience. When he greeted our tables, we communicated the allergy restrictions and he said he couldn't guarantee no cross contamination in the meal. The party panicked a bit, I got up to speak with the manager who was very nice. She listened to our concerns and reinforced us that no, that was not the case they have very strict measures when it comes to accommodating allergies and such. She also said she would go ahead and give our party a discount for the inconvenience. She stopped by the table to talk with the rest of the party and apologized. (However one person in the party felt the manager worded it in a way that made it seem on our fault for misunderstanding what was told to us by our server, when that wasn't really the case) either way - we were fine until our server returned. I guess there wasn't much communication between the manager and him because he seemed to not notice she even came by. Our gluten allergy bridesmaid ordered one of their 8 GF options on the menu and he recommended the only real "gluten free" option to have would be the salad. Again - causing some confusion. We explained to him what his manager explained to us and he said to go with what she said, he simply just "didn't want anything bad to come back on him." Which felt very... lazy and mis-informative. So we trusted the managers word in the end and went ahead with our meal. Now, the food was delicious! Everything did come out great for everyone and they enjoyed the meal. Some of the most unique and interesting brunch dishes I have seen in a long time and, again, very good! The food itself is what I would recommend to any foodie out there. Last issue with our time here - mentioned earlier the manager was accommodating and mentioned a discount (not to be money-grabby, but hear me out). When our checks came, it was told to us that only our bride's food was covered, which is a nice sentiment but she wasn't the one affected earlier. It felt unfair to the bride and everyone that only she was compensated. Thankfully the manager came back and did in the end give everyone a discount. So we are grateful for that, do not get me wrong, but after the other moments and such that built up until that moment, it just really put a bad cherry on top of everything. (Also, just saying... the manager smelt a bit like weed) Honestly, if you're a local and/or you're going with 4 or less people, it would be a great time or spot. If you're planning for anything larger than, I would look elsewhere. Again, the manager herself was very nice and we as a party appreciate her help with everything - thank you! But we still felt the other issues need to be heard. read more

That is the worst food I have had at a restaurant. Not a single thing that was ordered was good. Not sure why they are highly reviewed. So disappointing! read more

When you want a great spot for Sunday brunch, you should head to a restaurant that specializes in breakfasts. The Junction is such a place. With both indoor and outdoor seating, it can accommodate many diners. Although there is a small parking lot next to the restaurant, head north for additional parking. The Junction is not a snobby, high-end joint. It projects an earthy vibe and delivers hearty breakfasts in a memorable way. What stood out was the creative menu. It featured traditional American breakfast items, but several from Mexico. The menu featured fun names like Buzzed Doughnut, Mom's Tomato Onion Pie and Coffee Rubbed Bacon. I love Huevos Rancheros and the Junction delivers a unique and awesome presentation. I added ham to my order and splashed it with some fire sauce for heat. Yum! With seven of us dining, I got to taste multiple signatures, including the crazy good Mexican Hash with Cactus Pork, French Toast and the Donut with Mocha Dip. The Coffee Rubbed Bacon was thick cut and tasty, but not sure what the coffee added. You can tell the staff here loves this place and their pride shows. They know how to make their clientele happy. read more

The Junction is a small spot and had a line out the door for weekend brunch, but it was worth the wait! I had the BEST avocado toast (and a great Bloody Mary, too)! I also had a side of shredded hashbrowns that were great. They had a limited menu for the weekend (I heard this has been in place since Covid), but they were accommodating when one of my friends who's a regular there requested an item from their full weekday menu. read more

The Junction Kitchen - Huevos Rancheros (no avocado, add bacon) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North Charleston, South Carolina

This is a great place to have breakfast or brunch because the food is very good, but parking around the joint is limited. There is ample parking in the area, but it'll be a 5-10 min walk. There can also be a wait if you hit them at peak times, but always check the bar because it is open seating. All three meals we ordered were amazing! This is my ranking of the three: 1. We were told the Mexican Hash was the most popular and it was very good. It comes with jalapeño honey chutney and that was worth asking for extra. 2. The shrimp & grits were awesome. The shrimp was not over cooked, which usually happens at a busy place, but they were perfect. 3. The Huevos Rancheros was also very tasty and worth ordering. However, you will not go wrong with any of these three. Lastly, the service was awesome from greeter to server. Alexis T. was our server and he recommended the dishes we ordered. He was very attentive. Thank you! read more

Made reservations. Checked in. Hostess said to give her 5 mins while she cleaned a table and she would text us. We stepped outside the door and waited... 10 mins went by and no text. So I stepped inside again and the hostess had given our table to another party. So we were seated outside. Which would have been fine but the ants and flys were crazy bad. It was hard to enjoy our food while fighting ants crawling on our plates and up our legs. Food was just okay... not worth fighting ants. Won't be back. read more

I had the Mexican Hash (made vegan) and it was mushy, overly salty, and inedible. I felt immediately sick when I ate my first bite. I tried another bite and just couldn't do it. The hash browns were not even close to crispy. The avocado (an extra $2) was a tiny scoop of gross fake guacamole that tasted store-bought. Everything else felt either over or undercooked with no seasoning (besides salt) and honestly seemed like it was warmed up in a microwave. As a vegan, I've gotten used to low-effort options from restaurants, which has helped me avoid being picky since sometimes you just need to eat, but I truly never have tasted something so horrible. I had to send the food back (which is something I've never done before). Not pictured: my partner got the biscuits & gravy which he stated was mushy, too salty, and he couldn't even tell there was sausage in there. He had to send his food back as well. Thankfully, our server was nice and didn't charge us for the food we sent back, but it was a huge disappointment. If you're going to have "vegan options," please think of replacements. Charging regular price for a veganized meal where you take away half of the meal (eggs, etc.) shouldn't cost the same amount, and it's a sorry excuse for a "vegan option." read more

OMG! Our group of 5 had breakfast here yesterday and it was amazing. Who ever heard of brining chicken in sweet tea? There wasn't a single crumb left on any of our plates. Wow! The service was superior and the ambience is fantastic. The Junction Kitchen has now made it to my Top 3 Breakfast Spots in the entire USA. They join: Farm, in Palm Springs, CA & Mother's in New Orleans. The food has made me consider buying a vacation home in the area-- that's how good they are. read more

Today we came in with a baby at noon on a Saturday and it all went pretty well. Service is fast and the bustling atmosphere is fun! We had huevos rancheros and avocado toast with a side of grits for the baby. They did drop off the food with giving us cutlery and it took a while to get some- they were busy. It made us enjoy the food even more! I like that they have hot sauce on every table. read more

Such a great breakfast! Before we came to Charleston I told them all about how the city was known for their amazing food and welcoming nature. This place encapsulates that perfectly. Nothing makes you feel more at home than self serve coffee. And the staff member was so warm to the kids and me. Would recommend to anyone who visits. read more

The Junction Kitchen - Huevos Rancheros - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North Charleston, South Carolina

Overall: A top option for a weekend brunch! The good: Lots of options to choose from, but we went with two savory and sweet items - the buzzed doughnut and fried sweet tea chicken and french toast. Both were great in their own way; the bacon on the sandwich was heavenly as was the bourbon pecon brown sugar butter for the french toast. Too many flavors to mention, they were all good. Unlimited coffee refills and very friendly service all around, from waiters to bussers to hosts. Fun atmosphere and decent prices. The not-so-good: Long waits with no reservations. That's about it, everything else was great. Food/drink: 9/10 Atmosphere: 9/10 Service: 9.5/10 read more

Okay so this was my first time at The Junction Kitchen and I was so excited to have brunch there. This was actually the worst service I've ever gotten. This was totally a front of house problem. After ordering our food and hitting the 20 mark of waiting for it, I was visibly confused as to what was taking so long and our waiter never came back to let me know. Finally when it hit the 30 minute mark he came over and said there was no more mushroom gravy and asked if I'd like regular gravy, I said sure. The issue wasn't that they were out, it was that we were clearly like wtf and he didn't come back to ask me that as soon as he knew they were out. There was zero communication. The food when it came out tasted delicious, but was lukewarm and the egg yolks were all broken even though they were supposed to be over. read more

Four of us looking for a late breakfast on a Thursday, around 11am. Yelp said "go", and so we did. Not disappointed! The wait was kind of long, but we were seated in under 20 minutes or so. Definitely worth the wait. We ordered a variety: Mexican Hash, Biscuits and Gravy, Chicken and French toast, and a sandwich with egg and... Everything was great. I got the Mexican Hash, which was delicious. Prepared well and tasty. An owner or manager came by and apologized about the long wait. Not a problem for the great food. Would return here in a heartbeat. read more

We were heading to the outlets and decided to go a little further to try this place for breakfast. It was a Thursday about 10:30 and they were packed! Line out the door. We decided to wait. Sat outside with a ton of other people about 20 minutes. Once we were seated food came out pretty fast. Our server was very nice. The manager (I think) came over and apologized for the wait. Let us know that they had a huge rush all at once and got us some drink refills. Everything was really tasty. Not pictured - a maple donut we split that was homemade and delicious. Worth the stop! read more

The food was okay, everything seemed super fancy, limited and not simple. So if you're not a food adventurer this might not be the place for you. The presentation overall was good. The only thing I didn't like was the waiter asking if we wanted biscuits or toast with our order made it seem like it was included with our meal. It was and is not and was an additional $7 for a biscuit. Which sure if I knew before ordering that's fine, but that wasn't disclosed. read more

The food was amazing! I only gave it four Stars because the portion was a little smaller than what I am used to but again it was delicious!

Consistent quality and convenience. There is a reason this is a big go to brunch spot in Park Circle. The unique style of food preparation, perfect portions, self-serve coffee bar, always pleasant staff and just relaxed and chill customer base makes this a perfect spot for breakfast or lunch. Did we mention the careful attention to the quality and healthiness of their products. Finally, mimosa carafes!!! read more

The menu was very limited, and if you want the simple eggs, biscuit, or toast, and meat, they call it the "the boring" so that you are embarrassed to order it. The eggs in the huevos rancheros are scrambled! And if you pay extra for meat, you hardly get any eggs. Prices are pretty high, as if they think they're better than they are. read more

We came here straight from the airport upon our arrival from CT. We had an approximate 30 minute wait, and were seated at the bar around 11am. I ordered the avocado toast and shrimp and grits; both were very good. My friend ordered the biscuits and gravy, bacon and avocado. Everything was excellent. The real stars, though, we're the coffee and mimosas! If I can drink coffee with almond milk, it's got to be quality coffee. The menu looked fantastic, and I went with shrimp and grits because it's not something I can easily get back home, however, everything else sounded fantastic, and I'm sure I would've liked anything from here. read more

Tasty food but incredibly small portions and it was $90 for breakfast for two adults and a child. Which is wild.

After driving by so often I had no idea it would be so busy on the inside! This profile says they have bike parking, but we couldn't find it. We went around noon on a Saturday and there wasn't a wait for two people inside or outside despite how many people were in there. The customer service is awesome - everyone we encountered was super nice and helpful. Our server was particularly friendly and funny! One major perk is the self serve coffee station - we didn't use it but we saw several people using it. We ordered the portobello Mexican hash (4.5/5), a biscuit with strawberry jam (4/5), the shrimp and grits (3.5/5), and the mocha and maple rosemary donuts (4/5). The portobello Mexican hash was totally stacked with toppings and delicious. The biscuit was great but could have been fluffier for me - personal preference. The shrimp's texture was a tad off and the grits needed some salt, but I did enjoy it. The mocha and maple donuts were so interesting and yummy, it seems like they reheat them somehow or maybe they fry them fresh, but they're cakey. The sauces they came with are poured on top and warm. We really enjoyed them! I'll definitely be back. My boyfriend says full 5/5 and while my experience was 5/5, I think the food was closer to a 4/5. read more

Cocktails legit, food mediocre and small serving sizes. I had the coffee-tito-tini yum. Avocado toast was unimpressive. Coffee rubbed bacon was yummy and crispy with a fair amount of sugar lathered on as well. We got seated quickly before 11 on a Sunday but appeared to have a long wait after that. I'd go for the drinks, not necessarily the food. Would still go back tho. read more

This spot was a recommendation from a family member. Loved the gluten free options. We had the Huevos Rancheros and the Chicken and French toast. Both were very good. The Huevos had a yummy crisp corn tortilla underneath that gave it an extra layer of yummy! The French toast was good but the chicken was a little different. I think it was because they use all parts of the chicken. Seemed to be dark and light meats. The service was very friendly and knowledgeable. However, they were busy when we came in and the service was a little slow. Nothing we couldn't live with. Didn't get a chance to try the brunch drinks but they did look good. For that reason, we would go back. read more

This place is a hot spot for brunch! It's definitely a small space and you will have to wait so be prepared for that! I got the shrimp and grits and a side of shiitake bacon. The shrimp and grits were amazing! Super delicious and flavorful 10/10. Now the shiitake bacon I'm not sure what I was expecting but these were pretty pitiful. It was essentially like extra crispy shiitake they just threw on a plate of like lettuce. Kinda funny. Was it worth the overcharge as a side. Definitely not. They could've try and add more Flavor to it to make it more bacon like 4/10 My hubs got the chicken and French toast. Which he did not like. The chicken was over friend and he said taste like old oil. And it was drowning in syrup which made it overall to sweet. 1/10 read more
