Workmen's Cafe 1717N Grimball Road, Charleston, SC 29412

"Workman's Cafe is a hidden gem! They serve none pretentious good soul food. Today they had fried chicken, baked chicken, pork chops and assorted sides. I had the fried chicken and my wife had the bake chicken and we both loved it. Kudos to the cook!"

"I recently dined at Workmen's Cafe on James Island, and it was an exceptional experience. The fried chicken plate with mashed potatoes and gravy surpassed my expectations; it's undoubtedly some of the best fried chicken I've ever had in Charleston. The restaurant's cozy atmosphere and friendly staff create a welcoming environment. Workmen's Cafe is offering a must-try experience for any local foodie. The meals are rich and flavorful, providing a delicious journey into the heart of soul food. For less than $8!! You can have a meal that will blow you away. Definitely deserving of a five-star review!"

"Great option for a home cooked meal. I really enjoyed the meatloaf and lima beans. The Mrs enjoyed the fried pork chop. I'd rate higher but a few dishes were far too salty. I'd much prefer under seasoned food that I can add salt to."

"Y'all come eat, you'll be glad you did. These ladies can cook! The place is like the loved and forgotten Mimi's cafe, but with a whole lot of soul. Such a bright sterile environment that's relaxing to be in. I had the Thursday meatloaf special it was so good with the broccoli casserole, macaroni and cheese, and cornbread for around $10. Every bite was bliss and there's no way I can fit dinner in now. Thanks to all y'all at workmen's cafe, y'all awesome!"

"This place is tucked a bit off of Folly road but it worth grabbing food here. Prices are extremely reasonable. They are careful with covid (signage at door and seating is nicely spread out). Food is delicious and portions are generous. I left very full and my boyfriend who has a huge appetite couldn't finish everything. I will definitely be back the next time I am craving some good ole southern home cooking!"
