The gluten free options are gluten free toast and allegedly oatmeal and granola. The food is delicious here but they don't have any gf pancakes or French toast which is what our 6yo with celiac really wanted. All cooking happens on same surfaces as well. Frustrating that the options were pretty limited.

Our early-morning debarking meant that we needed some food before we started our 4 hour drive back to the other side of South Carolina. I Google “Charleston Breakfast” and “Toast! All Day” came up… Please note: this is NOT a breakfast place.😅 I googled again and got Big Bad Breakfast! So off we went to try this new-to-us local restaurant. I loved this place as soon as we drove up. The decor is casual, colorful, and unique. 🥰 The bathrooms were clean.💯 Our food was tasty and filling- they even had a wonderful gluten-free bread. 😋 Out of the 4 of us, three had skillets and one had biscuits and gravy. The downside… The service was a little slow, but our waitress was friendly… just didn’t see her much. We had to ask a different waiter to fix the cold biscuits and gravy since no one stopped by to ask how our meals were. Overall, we enjoyed our delicious meal, but I just didn’t get the warm fuzzies from any of the workers. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I would give them another try since you just never know if a team is having a rough day.💜
