Glad it worked out bc we were impressed with this place that we normally would not have tried. It felt like an upscale diner. Seat yourself at the counter or table with waitress service. A little slow but I believe that was because a lot of runners went there after. Avocado toast and Chicken Avocado Pimento Cheese sandwich both recommended. Vegetarian warning: the potatoes are cooked in bacon fat. Kid friendly, my son loved his pancakes and fruit and the restroom had a baby changing table. We didn't have alcohol but my husband was very impressed with their bourbon selection behind the bar. I did see gluten free bread on the menu

We used to really enjoy coming for breakfast every weekend, food was good and so was the service, it's the complete opposite now. No service and not even that your order is wrong, which it is, it's gross on top of that, greasy eggs, toast soaked in butter just unappetizing. A real shame but do not go.

The host will sit you once your whole party arrive so keep that in mind when you come. The waiter came promptly and took our order menu and came several times to make sure we got what we need. We ordered their waffle, french toast, chocolate chip pancakes, egg biscuits and sausage gravy, and the open face biscuit with crispy friend chicken and sausage gravy. The food was good, the fresh squeeze orange juice and fresh coffee were good as well. Every one was happy with their meal here.

Today I ordered the Lean Breakfast- egg whites, fruit bowl, chicken sausage (tasty w/ a slight bit of heat), and toast. It was good. I sat out on the patio on an un-busy and un-bothered Friday morning. They're usually busier, but I came after breakfast and before lunch. The restaurant is beside a pretty busy, noisy street, but I'm from the city so I didn't mind. My food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Server brought my order correctly and my check promptly.

It was so good I had to go back! The Brunch bowl is what I order both times ( I wish I tried something else) and the "grit balls" were delicious. Service was fast and prompt even with a full house. And the woman at the counter (she was in the kitchen and ran food, greeted guests as they pick up their food, possibly a chef) was EXTREMELY nice and outgoing. She seemed to really enjoy her position and kept order in the kitchen. Food was delicious if I haven't already said so, so much flavor, a Carolina quality kinda spot! I highly recommend to anyone looking for an exceptional, yet casual place to dine. Thank you Grit Counter!

The parking lot was packed, and most tables were already taken when we walked in, which is always a good sign. You order at the counter and then grab a seat while they bring the food out to you. The menu is extensive, with plenty of dishes built around grits (as the name suggests). I went with the chicken and waffles, and it was loaded with flavor--crispy fried chicken breasts, a Belgian waffle, chunks of bacon, and a blueberry compote on the side. The whole plate was enormous; I definitely didn't finish it. My husband ordered the fried chicken and fish platter with French fries, and it was equally generous in size. We also started with the grit fritters as an appetizer, and they were fantastic--crispy on the outside and a nice surprise inside. Overall, the food was really on point with big, satisfying portions. The waitstaff seemed super busy but stayed friendly and attentive. The only downside for me was having to bus your own table at the end. Prices for lunch felt a little high at first glance, but when you consider the huge portions, they're pretty reasonable. We'll definitely be heading back soon.

They have plenty of outdoor seating, as well as a covered patio, bar seating, and the indoor seating. It's a cute spot with a nice, relaxing atmosphere. The staff has been great each time. They have a small menu, but they definitely make sure everything is good. For dinner, I had the Chicken Milanese and a signature cocktail. The chicken was flavorful with a nice crust and the accompanying salad was a nice compliment. For Happy Hour, they have a limited snack menu with some drink specials. I had their seasonal cider (pear) and the parm fries. Cider was good, and the fries were super tasty, especially with your choice of using either the aioli or ketchup provided. Crispy & great flavor! It's a nice spot and they have good specials during the week.

Our recent visit to Coastal Skillet was not as enjoyable as previous visits. We like going out for…read morebreakfast occasionally (when we both are off) and Coastal Skillet is located very close. We arrived on a Wed morning to an empty restaurant, except for 2 other customers. Feedback overall is the food was not hot, nor cooked properly. The cinnamon roll was served in a cast iron pan, which was not hot at all. It was either kept warm in oven and served or warmed up in a microwave then placed in the pan. It tasted stale and was more a cake like texture. We both had the same bacon & tomato omelet with home fries. My husbands omelet was not completely cooked through and had runny egg pour out once he cut into it. The home fries were overcooked, some were hard, chewy and really flavorless. I suspect they were recooked. We did not bother mentioning any of this to the hostess/server as she was oblivous to giving good service. Though she did refill our coffee. After 5-6 visits here since they opened, Coastal Skillet is not a place we will return to. Good luck.

Nice to see the fresh flowers on the table and the decor (not sure how much is a holdover from Harold's Cabin).
