  I have no idea what their food is like. I can only comment on their customer service. I walked in and was asked how many.. not ever a good morning or any form of a proper greeting. She tried to seat me at a dirty table when there were several clean ones around me. I asked to go to a 2 person clean table right next to the dirty one and she said it was okay. I then waited for 12 minutes and no one approached my table. I watched 4 other parties get sat after me and 3 of them received water and a greeting within 2 minutes of sitting. I eventually got tired of waiting and walked up to the register, set down my menu and left. I guess that's what I get for trying to support a local business in a small town. No structure or standard of service whatsoever

  Food and price was good. Tables weren't getting cleaned off very well. Sticky and lots of food bits on the chairs

  The food was decent, nothing to write home about. Its your normal breakfast fare. The prices were reasonable and wait staff was friendly.

  I've lived in Charleston for about a half of a year and have never been here. My husband and I decided to go out for breakfast. My husband got the panther breakfast with ham and I got the blueberry pancakes with bacon and hash browns. I throughly enjoyed the meal and so did my husband. He even made the comment "I think this is the best ham I've ever had." The environment was very home like and made you feel like you have lived in the town forever. Very small town like and the staff were incredibly nice. As we went to pay, our waitresses even gave us a sample of their famous strawberry bread, which is AMAZING. We will definitely be back!! Thank you guys for the great experience.

  Many years ago, when I first visited Charleston, we stopped for lunch at a little diner on Lincoln Ave. and were very impressed by the "home-cooked" quality of the food and the down home atmosphere of the establishment and its proprietors. Years have passed and the little diner has moved to its present home just off the square heart of downtown Charleston, but the "home cooked" quality and down home feel remain the same.
  
  The friendly local atmosphere and the freshly prepared meals make What's Cookin" a great place to grab a meal while in Charleston. The vegetable beef soup is just like mamma used to make, and I particularly love to pair the soup up with the chicken or Italian pannini. Add a slice of their signature, home baked strawberry bread, and you've got a meal that's tough to beat! If you prefer lighter fare, What's Cookin' offers a wide selection of salads. My favorite is the Greek salad with feta cheese.
  
  One word to the wise. If you're in a hurry for Sunday breakfast, plan to show up BEFORE church lets out, because What's is the favorite spot for many area residents. If you get there late, plan on waiting a bit, but your patience will be rewarded with a great meal.
