Charleston is a city that takes its food seriously. James Beard Award winners, rooftop oyster bars, and more farm-to-table restaurants than you can count populate every block south of Calhoun Street. So when we say Toast All Day has been voted the best brunch in Charleston, repeatedly, over nearly two decades, that carries weight.
What Sets Toast All Day Apart
It's not one thing; it's the combination. A scratch-made menu that respects Lowcountry traditions without being stuffy about it. A dining room that buzzes with energy at 8 AM on a Tuesday. Servers who remember your name and your usual order. Mimosas that come in carafes, not thimbles. And a kitchen that has been refining the same core dishes for over twenty years, long enough to get them exactly right.
The Dishes People Come Back For
Every regular has their go-to, but these four dishes are the most-ordered items across all of our locations:
- Eggs Meeting Street, two crab cakes on fried green tomatoes, topped with perfectly poached eggs and our house-made hollandaise. Named after the street where it all started, and it's been on the menu since day one.
- Lowcountry Shrimp & Grits, stone-ground grits from a local mill, sautéed shrimp, and our signature lobster cream sauce. The dish that turned visiting food critics into regulars.
- Chicken & Waffles, crispy buttermilk fried chicken on a fluffy Belgian waffle with real maple syrup. Sweet, savory, and exactly as indulgent as it should be.
- Avocado Toast, fresh avocado on thick-cut artisan bread with poached eggs, everything seasoning, and a drizzle of chili oil. Simple done right.
Recognition That Speaks for Itself
Toast All Day has earned a spot on TripAdvisor's Top 25 Restaurants in the U.S., been featured in local and national press, and maintains a consistent stream of five-star reviews from both tourists and locals. But the recognition we value most is the repeat customer, the families who have been coming every Saturday for a decade, the college students who celebrated their 21st birthday over mimosas at our table, the retirees who walk in every morning at 7:15 sharp.
Six Locations Across the Lowcountry
We started on Meeting Street and now serve guests at six locations across Charleston and Savannah. Each restaurant shares the same menu and kitchen standards, so your favorite dish tastes the same whether you're dining downtown, in Summerville, or on Broughton Street in Savannah.
