Luckily, we were here before the busy season started and were able to get in twice without a wait. Usually the wait may be long, but it it worth it. Great breakfast and lots to choose from. More

We recently went to the Sea Biscuit for Sunday Brunch and the food was quite good and reasonably priced. However, the wait was extremely long, and we observed several parties, possibly locals, being seated ahead of others of us who had been waiting for long time. When I politely inquired to the hostess about our wait and mentioned that others... More

This was a multi-generational family trip. Everyone loved the Sea Biscuit. We had a great breakfast so everyone was happy. They do not accept credit cards so please remember to bring cash. More

Stopped in due to local recommendation--great choice. Breakfast was wonderful. Large amounts of food, very reasonably priced for quantity. When we return to Isle of Palm next year, Sea Biscuit Cafe is a definate meal stop! More

From the rave reviews we had read about this place you'd think they were serving ambrosia on a daily basis. The food was certainly fine -- and they do offer some unusual dishes -- but the place is small, crowded, noisy, and overpriced for the quality of the food served. And cash only -- no credit cards!! What's up with... More

I think I found this on trip advisor....and we went to try it out. YUMMY yummy breakfast. We got there just in time before a line started forming. The next day the guys went for breakfast and they both talked about how these people know how to cook eggs....know how to prepare a good breakfast. So it passed their critique!... More

Sea Biscuit Cafe' is a quaint little house tucked on a side street on the Isle of Palms, and very small, but it is definitely worth the wait. Very good food, and excellent service. It is a pretty quick turnaround and lots of hustle and bustle, but you don't feel rushed. They have great daily specials too, but don't go... More

Now this is how breakfast should taste. The food was excellent. The service was very warm and friendly. It's a small place so, be prepared to squeezed into a section. Other than that, you can't miss with this place. More
