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
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
This is the absolute best down home food I have tasted in a long time! It reminded me of my grandmother’s, which comforted me. The fried chicken was hot and juicy and the biscuit was like a piece of cake😩🤤😍
Today my wife and I along with our three children (8y, 11y, 12y) stopped at the Workmen's Cafe. We were about 50 min away on the other side of Charlestown on vacation. We were looking for great local southern cooking. We were not disappointed.
Angie (owner) was wonderful. We saw the website sai
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 coul
Came here on my lunch break and now I might not be able to stay awake. Food was so good with a great friendly atmosphere!
Off the beaten path, working man’s restaurant. These girls are cooking up some of the best fried chicken you’ll ever have. Southern food frenzy
Mrs Angie is the best. I've been going there for 20 years and have never been disappointed! The food is fantastic!
Local friends knew of this place. Everything was great: the people, the food, the prices!! (Photo of Morrocan Chicken. We also had Fried Chicken and Lima Bean Plate.) $49 for 4 meals.
Local is as local does :)
Come early. 11:30-4.
Delicious fried Chicken and BBQ Ribs.mac n cheese. Collards. Broccoli casserole.
Cheddar Garlic Biscuits for the win!!!!!
Can’t wait to return. From the Lima beans, to the fried fish… every bite was amazing. The homemade lemonade was one of the best I ever had. She established this business in 2001, and has done her own thing mainly til this day. Talk about a hard working woman… this is her! #SupportBlackBusinesses
Workman's Cafe is a great James Island meal and experience. Go get some of Angie's delicious southern food! I've been going for years, and the kids love it too. She has different main courses, veggies, and desserts depending on the day of the week. Get the peach cobbler if she has it! The honey but
Some of the best soul food in Charleston, and for a good price. Locals know it. The cornbread in particular was amazing, and the fried shrimp was very good. The broccoli casserole was much better than I expected it to be. This restaurant is a must.
I almost dont want to rate this place because I dont want yall to get the meatloaf and fried chicken before me. Best fried chicken in town, extremely friendly, great prices and large portions. One of my favorite places to eat. Just good old fashioned greasy spoon.
This food was so good I can't even express it, defintley worth the price, the inside smelled good and the food did not dissapoint 100% reccomend.
Amazing food and friendly service! Will definitely be making this a regular spot!
Amazing food and service all served with a smile ... we will be back
Wow.... that is THE BEST southern food I've ever tasted. Do not deprive yourself of this secret treasure!
