Love Sea Biscuit

by Effervescent70

I have been vacationing in the Charleston area for years. My experience with Sea Biscuit has always been pleasant. The food is very creative and delicious. Maple French Toast, Spinach feta omelets, home fried potatoes, fresh fruit-strawberries, pineapple, watermelon, etc. It is a very small restaurant and the food is cooked to order but in a reasonable time. Seabiscuit is a must every time we visit Wild Dunes.

• Pros: FOOD! Atmosphere
• Cons: Wait time

A Local's Point fo View

by Fandango66

The Sea Biscuit Cafe on Isle of Palms is by far the best place to have breakfast in the Charleston Area. The food is a home cooked breakfast without all the butter and chlestorol you will find at your average run of the mill franchise restuarant ie, IHOP(never hopped out fo an Ihop, always barely move when leaving this establishment), Alex's, Waffle House, Huddle House( and any other House you might think of).

The ambience of the cafe is a cool, old southern style beach and surf house. Also the Sea Biscuit is located a couple of steps from the Isle of Palms front beach area. The menu is very well thought out and unique offering a variety of breakfast foods ranging from delicious fresh and exotic fruits, eggs prepared any way you like, tasty home style pancakes, french toast, waffles, and any kind of fresh meat you would like! (they have pretty good coffee and juice selections as well)

As far as the other peoples comments on service, I have to say that occasionlly the staff can become quite busy, but as a local to the area they are usually fairly quick to serve you and always pleasant. Except for the older gentleman who sometimes run the cash register on the weekends. he can be quite grumpy at times and does not have the Southern charm of most of the other waiters and waitresses.

One other thing! I am not an owner or employee of this restaurant, just a very satisfied local customer who wants the visitors of our Charleston Area to enjoy one of the culinary treasures that are here.

• Pros: Food, Food, Character, Location
• Cons: Wait Time on the weekends, Best to get carry out at times

Sea Biscuit Cafe was a horrible experience.

While vacationing at Wild Dunes we dined at Sea Biscuit twice. The food was certainly above average in taste, but the staff was barely adequate. My reason for returning the second time was to not only dine, but purchase a giclee. I never got the chance. The "gentleman" checking us out was unbelievably rude. Our waitress had agreed to issue us separate checks. She apparently forgot. I tried to explain while paying the bill and was met with glaring stares, smart aleck remarks, and open rudeness. This occurred in front of many other patrons. I was shocked and mortified. Granted, their policy is no separate checks on weekends, but this was a Thursday. Obviously I will never return. The food wasn't good enough to make up for the way we were treated.
