    Hot bar, entrées

    Trotters restaurant has now brought back their awesome lunch buffet, and salad bar! The price has gone up, but it is worth the money if you want to go out and have a nice lunch for a business, birthday or special occasion I highly recommend this place. They have a great selection to choose from. They have also redecorated the dining room area with new furniture . Very nice.

    My Valentine's. Look @ that flounder. It was amazing!!!

    BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!!!!! WDUP THO?!?!?!?! Godd to see y'all again. I had a reservation at poogan's porch but I got off work too late and missed it. So then I went to the Holiday inn riverfront. They need to go ahead and cancel that restaurant it is so bad. They are literally serving $2 pizzas. Theit Valentine's Day meal that you had to buy a whole bottle of wine with the package. No other meals were served. So if you do not drink wine it was tough chitlins. You cannot make this up. So driving down Savannah highway I remembered all the happy hours I used to go to and the buffets at trotters restaurant so we pulled in. They didn't have a crowd at all. I really miss the buffets here. You would get so much cool points with The girl you was trying to impress by bringing her hair. Their seafood buffets used to be out of this world. I will give anything to revisit that or for them to bring that back. They have the same old menu. So I was skeptical. Everything was pretty good I have to admit. They definitely save the evening for me. I was seconds away from two women looking at me super crazy. I must say, the whole fried flounder stole the show. It had my mother talking about it for three straight weeks. And I got to be honest it was season perfectly and perfectly fried. It looks so impressive on the plate. I forgot the waiter's name right to hang out with his nephew we were real cool friends. His nephew died maybe a year and a half ago. So what's good seeing him and we reminisce for a minute. We both look completely different each other Father time is undefeated. Lol. My chicken parmesan was excellent. I judged my chicken parmesan by the leftovers. If it is still good and still breaded 3 days later I call that perfection. Everyone left out with stomach foods. The food came fast also. I found out they still do buffets and I would definitely be back. Good to see there still going after all these years. They are definitely a staple of West Ashley. Thank you so much for saving the players life. Lol

    This establishment is inside of the Town and country suite hotel. It's a buffet restaurant with an amazing omelet station I give this place a 10/10 a must try for breakfast. They do have a lunch and dinner option also Monday-Saturday

    This restaurant was part of the Country Inn and Suites where we were staying. Upon checking at the hotel we got a $15 voucher for the restaurant since we booked direct with the hotel. You get one for each night you stay but they can only be used on specific days. We stopped in the restaurant upon our checkout. The restaurant is really lovely. The ceiling around the lights are recessed and have beautiful silver swirls that gives it a really classy feel. I could see it be used for special occasions or groups. They have a buffet section but it wasn't being used the day we were there. There are cloth napkins and the waitress was friendly. She brought us waters before taking our drink orders which then came quickly. The restaurant wasn't terribly crowded at 1030am on a Wednesday. The had 2 servers at the time. The waitress asked what we needed before the food came out and I got real syrup instead of sugar free and we got some orange marmalade. She brought it out and made a joke about "our apps". My husband had the Trotters Starter with eggs, hashbrowns, ham, and rye toast. I had French toast with toasted almonds on top. The food was good.

    Historically a great breakfast, my family has been meeting here for their famous breakfast since the late 1960's

    Amazing feast, served with southern hospitality and in true Charlestonian style. You just can't beat a Trotters Meal. My family has been meeting here since the 1960's for their breakfast feast. Welcome to the South, remember to try the Grits!

    We usually don't hit up many hotel lobby restaurants, but went here after hearing some good reviews. It was fairly empty when we arrived and we were seated immediately. After looking over the menu I asked the waitress what her favorite meal is, and she recommended the fried chicken, rice and collard greens. She did not let me down, this was an excellent meal full of flavor. It was complemented with some phenomenal corn bread as well. This was a great surprise in how good it was, and helped turn our opinion about hotel lobby restaurants. We will be back next time we are in the area!

    Terrible. Bland. Over cooked. The hostess laughed that we had a reservation, because no one was there. Now we know why. Avoid at all costs.

    5/5 Stars - Absolutely Incredible!…read more This spot is a total gem. We ordered a vanilla cinnamon iced latte, a cappuccino, a smoothie, a breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel, and a strawberry pop-tart, and every single item was outstanding- gluten free options too!!! The breakfast sandwich was perfect--flavorful, fresh, and served on a perfectly toasted everything bagel. The strawberry pop-tart was unreal, an elevated treat, and the drinks hit the spot. The iced latte had just the right balance of vanilla and cinnamon without being overly sweet, the cappuccino was expertly crafted, and the smoothie was incredibly refreshing. Beyond the food, the vibe here is immaculate. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the background music is great, and the workers are exceptionally friendly. It's the perfect place to kickstart your morning. We will definitely be back!

It is much more casual than I thought, with some of the menu (like bowls and salads) already made and ready to grab from the fridge. So happy we ended up staying because everything was fantastic. We ordered at the counter, grabbed drinks from the fridge and found a table on the side, covered patio. Food was brought out super quickly and it was absolutely delicious. I got the St. Philip pita, which was incredible and almost tasted like a halal cart chicken sandwich in the best way. It was so filling and so good. It came with a really tasty side salad. My fiance got the BLT which was just as great. I can see this being a really ideal space to bring my laptop and get some work done if I lived in the area. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a great, casual space for breakfast, lunch or coffees.

    A review posted in honor of the experience one of my friends had this past week -…read more My husband and I came to Charleston specifically for the food, and out of all the amazing meals we had, Miller's All Day was hands down our favorite. We came for breakfast and started with the banana bread with Nutella cream cheese -- absolutely incredible. We also split the cornmeal pancakes, which were so good we came back the next morning just to have them again. I ordered the B.E.C. with the home fries, and I can honestly say they may have been the best potatoes I've ever had in any form. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and they practically melted in my mouth. My husband had the turkey club and said it was fantastic as well. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and memorable. We loved it so much we went back the very next day. 10/10 -- highly recommend if you're visiting Charleston!

Love the display of record covers on the…read morewall, though we agreed that it was a totally missed opportunity that there was no music playing, even though they had what appeared to be a great sound system as well. Second, this is one of the few places that's still having you scan a QR-code at the table for the menu. ...So, we're sitting down at this cool restaurant, with southern hospitality vibes, and we're being directed to pull out our phones to pull up the menu and then spend a good minute with our faces in our phones trying to decide what we want. Vibe killer, for sure. I would rather have a nicely-designed card stock menu with an eggy fingerprint or a coffee stain than sitting at the table with my phone out waiting for the menu to download and then trying to navigate it while discussing it with the server, who in our case, was a bit impatient. And also loud and impersonal while I'm at it. So, we ended up ordering: BISCUITS AND GRAVY-- this was the best thing we ordered. Rosemary presence was just right (love Rosemary but not too much). The pickled ocra on the side was perfectly pickled and crisp, which was a wonderful contrast to the scrambled eggs and gravy-soaked biscuits. I wish I could've walked out with a jar of them. Only complaint was I wish that there were some small chunks of sausage in the gravy. CINNAMON ROLL- this was impressive, a biscuit cinnamon roll pulled high with a whipped, airy cream cheese frosting. Wasn't the best cinnamon roll I've ever had. If there was a classic ooey gooey cinnamon roll near by, I'd pick that. Still appreciated it as something different that was executed well and highlighted their biscuits. MILLERS PLATE (I think that was the name of it)-- it was a basic breakfast platter with eggs, choice of breakfast meat (my son chose bacon), home fries, and a biscuit. My son said it was basic, but that his potatoes were over-fried and greasy. PATATAS BARAVAS-- my husband got this and said that the sausage was sparse and it was overloaded by large chunks of potato. If you're going to pay nearly $20 for a plate, it shouldn't be primarily filled with filler like potato. He said flavor was nice, though. Also, he missed on the menu that the meat was a "brisket sausage" and not "brisket AND sausage," so worth noting if, like him, you would be looking forward to the latter. This is pay at the table. They also pre-set tip options to 20, 22, and 25%. And our server stood there waiting for us to complete our transaction. Hate that. If you must use a pay at the table device, be classy and review the ticket with the patron, give a kind farewell, and then give them step away to give them space to decide on the total and tip without pressure. Also, we nearly never tip less than 20% and more often tip more, but it puts a bad taste in my mouth whenever suggested tips start at 20 or more percent and go higher. Bit presumptuous. On the way out we had to stop and grab some pics from the Photo Booth. This was a fun touch. Glad to have tried this spot while making a pit stop in Charleston. Has special breakfast/brunch vibes, for sure. Just a few things that could be improved.

He was so attentive, friendly, and genuinely funny. I was visiting from San Diego, and he made the whole experience that much better. We ordered the whipped bone marrow, the lamb ragù, and the Taleggio pizza. Jimmy suggested adding sausage to the pizza, and I'm so glad we listened because it was the perfect addition. Every single thing we ordered was incredible. I can honestly say this was the best meal I had during my entire trip to Charleston. I was also excited to see a Super Tuscan on the wine list since it's my favorite red wine and not something you find everywhere. And one thing I really appreciated that probably sounds random, but if you've been to Charleston in the summer, you'll understand...it was actually nice and cool inside. It was such a relief after being out in the heat and humidity all day and made it so much more enjoyable to sit down and have a great meal.

The pizza we ordered was markedly smaller than before and the crust was different and looked like it was premade and frozen. It had the taste and look of DiGiorno pizza. Previously, the pizza was a standout but now Indaco and La Tela in Kiawah are making much better pizza pies. The service was friendly and they prepared a specialty cocktail that I like which was outstanding. To the team there, you have been going downhill for several years. Turn it around!

Consistently great atmosphere, consistently great food, and a place that really gets better with every visit. Why did it take so long to return. I've now placed it in the top of my list for a great coffee spot.
