    Ehhh, not quite sure what to make of this place. The vibe is sort of tropical, sort of bohemian, sort of casual and definitely confusing. I ordered the "buzzed doughnut" which was actually very good dipped into the sauce it came with. I would definitely eat this sandwich again! The problem is the hash browns; the quality does not match the doughnut sandwich. They tasted almost like they came from a different restaurant. I hate to say it but I think I had better hash browns from Waffle House. Also, I usually never comment on service as I like to focus on the food but it seemed like it was the whole staff's first day on earth. They all seemed confused most of the time and were not working together like a well-oiled machine. The bartender told me it would take a while for her to make my drink, which was odd to say. I watched her make my espresso martini with vodka and iced coffee from a carton. As a former bartender and self-proclaimed martini expert, I cringed as that is NOT how an espresso martini is made!! Alas, I digress. I don't think we will be back but I would still recommend checking this place out and deciding for yourself if you like it ;)

    Self serve coffee and tea station

    Thank you again YELP! for helping me find a great joint. Arrived in a Thursday around 8:30am. Small lot but we were able to find a spot. Walked in and we were sat immediately. Server was very friendly. There is a self serve coffee and tea station with various sweeteners and creamers. Nice touch. I got a cup of decaf tea. Delicious. I ordered the chicken and French toast with a sausage patty. The sausage was fantastic. The chicken thighs were cooked perfectly and were so moist. French toast was very good. I don't remember the place being noisy at all. Highly recommend!!

    I have really torn feelings on this place. For 3 years I have wanted to try here but every time they were closed or it looked like a long wait. Finally got to go with my oldest son. Are service was good, wait for food wasn't bad at all. Everything was done well... but I honestly didn't like much of it. It just really defined "not for me". Like the French toast was good except it was just drowning in syrup (rather than letting me put it on myself) and the rosemary flavor in the syrup was not to my taste. If this had been on the side I would have tried a bite and then just asked for regular maple syrup and been happy. The mocha donut, same story. The mocha was bitter and if this was on the side I could have dunked my donut in but instead I didn't have a choice. I'm not mad about it. They are clearly aiming for a particular mindset on food. Something different, something unique, something strongly defined. And I can appreciate and respect that and everything was definitely well executed! But I really would have preferred to have the option to have a more traditional set of flavor profiles. J.Ja

    Shrimp and grits with a great sauce, perfect avocado toast, Mexican hash with yummy pulled pork, and maple and mocha glazed donuts!

    I love brunch at The Junction! Last time I went, wee were fighting over the avocado toast and my shrimp and grits were perfect. They have a diner vibe and the manager was so nice. I always think of them for brunch and I park in the public lot and walk Spruill Ave, as their lot gets filled up fast.

    Really nice vibe, it's small but cozy. The staff is super friendly. Food was amazing. Probably the best chicken and French toast I've ever had. Give it a shot if you're on the fence.

    Cute little chill-viber in North CHAS with excellent service and an easy-going atmosphere. Parking might be challenging on weekends but was no problem for my Thursday morning breakfast. - Coffee is of decent quality and is self-serve; choose your own mug off the wall and refill as you please. - My pimento cheese grits were alright -- the texture should have been creamier, the flavors more robust. The French toast, though, was excellent: good quality bread with just the right amount of soak; crispy edges and deep, rich bourbon-brown sugar notes; and ample pecans. At first I thought the rosemary could have been a bit subtler but really, rosemary isn't a spice prone to subtlety and by the end, I was relishing this creative addition. - Def worth a stop.

    This place has been on my list of breakfast place suggestions since they opened, and every single time someone asks for a brunch spot I mention that I have been meaning to try this place. It's a great trendy location on the edge of Park Circle, conveniently has a small parking lot in addition to street parking and a tiny city lot close by, woman owned, and decorated super warm and inviting. So I really really wanted to like this place. Maybe it was the day I chose to go. I used YELP to reserve a spot on the waitlist, and met a friend for brunch before going into Highwater. Maybe they were unusually slammed. I ordered a Buzzed Donut, coffee rubbed bacon, with an over-easy egg on a pop biscuit doughnut with a side of shredded hashbrowns & mocha dip. Sounds amazing and unique! But the one I was served was burnt, hard, and had obviously been sitting under some heat too long and was past the point of being served. I politely brought it to my server's attention both dark coloring, hard texture, and burnt taste were affected, and while she did inquire, the answer was that it was the last one so a re-order was not an option. I was not trying to make a stink to my server or make my friend late to the festival, and they couldn't rush a new item, so I ate around the hard/burnt part politely. When the bill came, the server informed me she took 15 percent off that item. Everyone has off days, and I really wanted to like this place but the more I think about it the crazier it is to think I paid 85 percent of a meal that shouldn't have been served. When I worked in food service, I would have never served an item in this condition. I would have simply apologized that I didn't realize the kitchen was out, taken the item off the bill, and brought a replacement item or dessert at no charge. I had excitedly announced it was my first time trying this place when the server first introduced herself, and I'm just disappointed it wasn't 100 percent wonderful.

    I met a friend for lunch and we sat outside which was so nice! No wait at all on a Friday in May, but it quickly filled in. We both had a hard time choosing what to order. They serve both breakfast and lunch all day. I loved the energy salad, it was filling and light and had great flavor. We also split a donut which I highly recommend!

    Huevos Rancheros
    Monica S.

    Went for breakfast and were able to be seated right away (we did not make reservations). Our waitress recommended the Mexican Hash (so naturally I got that) and my friend got the Huevos Rancheros. Both were good but I enjoyed the Huevos Rancheros a bit more. The salsa that came with the Mexican hash was delectable though. Coffee is self serve and unlimited. Grapefruit juice is not refillable.

    Decided to give this spot another try .... Day after the wedding the in laws wanted brunch .. The wait wasn't bad because it was a beautiful day but parking whew lol ... today I went with the Biscuits and Shroom Gravy ... I added a sunny side up egg and the sweet tea fried chicken .. I must say I'm glad I gave this place another chance ... my meal was awesome... my biscuits were fresh and that mushroom gravy was the perfect pairing .. my egg was cooked to perfecting and exceeded expectation ... And last but not least the sweet t fried chicken was very moist and fresh. My entire meal came out hot so that added a plus to the overall meal... My only gripe was that I never knew the servers name. she wasn't rude but it's just common courtesy. until next time

    Gluten free French toast and chicken
    Ashlee S.

    Great Brunch Spot with Gluten-Free Options! Our group of five made a spontaneous decision to stop by The Junction for brunch while most of our family went on a historic tour or headed to the beach--and it ended up being a great call. Three of us ordered the French toast and fried chicken (so good!), and I really appreciated that they offered a gluten-free bread option--it's been hard to find gluten-free choices elsewhere in Charleston, so this was a big win. The other two in our group had hash browns, eggs, and turkey sausage, and everyone was happy with their meals. Portion sizes were generous and everything was full of flavor. We also shared three pitchers of mango peach mimosas--delicious and super refreshing! Our server was attentive, friendly, and answered all of our questions without missing a beat. On top of that, the prices were really affordable for the quality and quantity of food we received. If you're looking for a laid-back, satisfying brunch spot in Charleston--especially if you need gluten-free options--we definitely recommend stopping by The Junction. Great food, great service, and a relaxed vibe.

    We had lunch on Sunday and this place pretty busy! They have small parking lot for the costumers. The usher greet us and found an available spot pretty quick but we had to clean the table again since she didn't clean it well from the previous costumer which was not a big deal. Our server was pretty informative with the menu and quite fast! The noise level was pretty moderate and they also have outdoor seating. The inside looks very casual and I consider this as a hippie joint type of resto. I had the mushroom mex hasbrown and it was really good . My kids and hubs had the buzzed biscuit, french toast , and the biscuits and gravy with extra 2 scramble eggs on top. They all taste really good. One thing I hope they can improve with the biscuit and sausage gravy is to add more gravy because the biscuits were pretty generous but not enough gravy ratio to them. The orange juice and iced coffee pretty on point for us. I think this place is so far the best breakfast/brunch/lunch place in North Charleston!

    This is definitely a place to try if you're in North Charleston. The food is made fresh daily and I love the option to sit inside or outside. It feels more homey and the spacing inside fits about maybe 40-60 people (I think). But it's still worth going to. I went with some friends and they all loved it. There's a bar inside and they have a coffee station for you pick a mug and make your own coffee. I love it! Go check it out!

    Chicken and French Toast, which the French toast and bourbon cream butter was solid. The chicken not so Much.

    I agree with Todd that the food portions seem smaller. However, what I got was very tasty. In fairness, I didn't leave hungry either. That happens to me some places.
