If you are a stranger to Georgetown you would drive by without thinking twice, that would be a mistake. The lunch menu is fantastic. The sides of fries and salad could not be better. Be prepared for a quaint dining experience.

I really looked forward to eating at the Humble Crumb. Some of the best food is found in small out of the way places and ate here with friends. I lived in Rhode Island and ate Italian regularly in Providence and Boston and have also...been to Italy a few times and Sicily so I try to base my opinion on the area I am eating. That said I have several comments. My first comment was the service. The waitress was yawning while taking our order but besides perhaps being tired she seemed to be the only waitress in the place. She was pleasant so I give her that. I asked for water and the bread that was supposed to come out first and eventually I had to get up myself to get it after we were served the main meal. I realize it may be difficult to run a business but I don't recall the last time I had to do that. The presentation of the salad looked like they threw everything on the plate. I do admit the Blue Cheese dressing was pretty good and the salad itself tasted better than it looked. My wife got an anchovy pizza and she in general liked it but complained there was too much cheese on it and there definitely was. I had Chicken Parmesan $18. Most people dont know that this isnt really an Italian dish and it is also the highest grossing item in an Italian Restaurant. The chicken itself was good as was the gravy, but there was probably a 1/2 cup of pasta on the plate. It looked lost and it looked thrown on the plate trying to make it look like it was more than it was. My friend had the veal parmesan $19 and we were kind of chuckling as he was having a problem cutting it. We weren't sure if the veal was tough or the knife was dull but he had a hell of a time with it. I had to get up and get the grated cheese too. In general the meals were ok, poor service, not a great value but ok. I have seen others rave about this place and that's great. We live in Mt. Pleasant and perhaps its a challenge to be so close to Charleston in general but even considering the area I expected more and won't be back. Its not that it was bad in any way but it was average and even in South Carolina there are much better Italian restaurants.More

We stumbled on this little place and am so glad we did! Food was wonderful! I had the chicken marsala, chicken was seasoned perfectly, sauce was delicious just perfect! My friend had shrimp alfredo and loved it as well! Search out this little local spot...it is well worth discovering !More
