When planning my vacation this year, I read reviews of restaurants and attractions in Charleston, SC. I thought Joseph's restaurant sounded quaint and a little different from others. I was very disappointed. The staff was courteous and our server was great, but the much anticipated Sweet Potato Pancakes weren't nearly as good as I thought they would be. I didn't... more

My husband and I had breakfast at Joseph's last weekend. I ordered scrambled eggs and toast both times; the first was delicious, but the second time, the eggs were stale tasting and my English muffin was hard and both were cold. I sent them back but all they did was microwave it and bring it back, which did nothing for... more

Great place for breakfast but get there early. They advertise opening at 8am but when you get there you find out they open at 8:30. The food is worth the wait; excellent and great price. It's about 4 blocks from the market. more

My girlfriends and I ate at Joseph's twice in four days, first for lunch and then for breakfast. Both times, we ordered 3 meals and then shared. Everything we ordered was fantastic with special kudos for their sweet potato pancakes, fried green tomatoes and a shrimp sandwich on pumpernickle bread (can't remember the name). I'd go back to Charleston just... more

We drove straight from the airport to Joseph's for lunch. It was perfect! Casual environment, good balance of low-country and seafood, and a variety of items from light lunch to hearty lunch. Price was just right and portions were plenty. more

This place reminded me of an old fashioned diner - but with an upscale menu. The decor was nice but nothing fancy. The service was quick and friendly, but with the clear goal of turning over the tables. However, the food was definitely several steps up from a typical diner. The omlettes were generously sized and quite tasty. The friend... more

I was just in Charleston visiting, and went to Joseph's after reading so much about their famous sweet-potatoe pancakes. They did not disappoint!! Breakfast at Joseph's was one of the highlights of our trip. Delicious food, VERY friendly and attentive service, not too long of a wait for a Saturday morning. My boyfriend and I split the sweet-potatoe pancakes and... more

My partner and I had breakfast this morning, and it was very good. I had the spinach and artichocke benedict, and asked for crab on top. It was delicious. The service was attentive and prices quite reasonable. I recommend. more
