Great ambiance but the food is terrible. Grits were served as a sloshy meal comprising of cheese and a few shrimp absolutely tasteless. Waitress did not even bother asking whether the food was good even though it was hardly touched. Other breakfast item was eggs and hash browns, Tasteless.

Thanks to Trip Advisor and a good GPS we found this gem of a restaurant. Great service, wide range of choices, a friendly owner on scene and good prices. What's not to like?? The shrimp and grits is a great breakfast and the Cajun shrimp and grits is even better. The coffee is excellent and your cup never gets close... More

This is the third time in two years where we had occasion to find a Sunday Brunch place in Beaufort. Why change what works! Breakfast is served from 7:30a to 2:30p, seven days a week, and so is lunch. The place is closed outside this time period. Omlets are the specialty, as is delicious grits to go with it. The... More

The first time I came here I had a very good experience. They have a great atmosphere and are located right downtown, but recently I went and had terrible service. I didn't get what I ordered, and I kept getting the wrong drink order. The waitress was also really akward which made me feel akward as well.

Having seen the positive reviews on TA we headed here for breakfast. Not a good experience. The shrimp and grits were tasteless and the coffee wasn't very good. But what bothered me the most was that the prices we were charged were higher than on the menu. Not cool.

Good local place, movie posters of films shot in town, flags of prep schools and colleges. Smells of mothballs tho. My husband had a BLT that was fair. We may return.

Only a short walk and worth it to get a "real breakfast"... some times the hotel free-bies just don't cut it. Prices are fair so it makes passing up a mediocre for a better deal. Service is always top notch and the owner is usually present to greet you at the door.

We had Sunday brunch with a large group of family. The atmosphere was very nice and unique. The service was a tad bit slow, but they were quite busy. They food however, was nothing special. I had the Cajun Shrimp and Grits, which turned out to be cafeteria style grits with no seasoning- even with the peppers and onions it... More

A Beaufort Tradition. Not the most comfy tables and seating but the food is consistent though nothing outstanding. Try the hash and eggs.

Blackstone's is our favorite place for breakfast. We can sit on the back patio with our two dogs, and the service is as good as the food. Really nice atmosphere with an airy feeling. Fantastic food.
