Lost Dog Cafe

Breakfast was delicious! The home fried hash browns were really garlicky, which I loved. Biscuits & gravy was fantastic. The patio seating was nice.

This place has delicious food and you can Cabrini your dog and sit outside as well. I personally love the breakfast sandwich but they have very fresh fruit and delicious pancakes, scrumptious cinnamon rolls and the breakfast burrito is good/ you can’t forget about a side order of biscuits and gravy and all the delicious coffee and Bloody Mary. The service has been good every time we go. We will be back

Excellent food! Our she crab soup came out hot and was plenty to share for a snack for the two of us. Bagel chips were a unique touch. Quick service and friendly atmosphere. Super cute theme too. Super popular but no wait times. 10/10

We took our kids here for brunch while on vacation at Folly last week. The experience was fun for them and the food was delicious! They ALL walked away with a Lost Dog T-shirt and loved seeing all the photos of the pups on the walls. It’s within walking distance of the beach and downtown Folly. I’d highly recommend this restaurant for any meal!

This was by far our favorite restaurant during our 3 days on Folly Beach. The atmosphere and theme they’ve created around dogs is so memorable. Dog lover or not this is a must visit on Folly Beach. We enjoyed it so much we went back a second time for our final meal before leaving Folly Beach at the end of our time there. We even bought shirts as a way to remember this place! The food is also outstanding. They have great breakfast options and they have rotating daily specials such a flavored coffees, quiches, specialty french toast/pancakes and more! First visit we got the huevos rancheros and quiche of the day. Both were great! The second visit we got strawberry graham cracker French toast and a bagel breakfast sandwich. Cannot say enough good things about this place! Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Came here on my birthday for a good breakfast and lost dog delivered! I had their egg Benedict special with a side of fruits. My friends had french toast, Yogurt bowl with local granola and craisins, another friend ordered their delicious cinnamon rolls along with eggs and toast. We also ordered the mimosas and everyone was happy with their food! If you are in Folly then this place has ro be in your list for your food -venture.

Despite visiting at peak service times we were able to find parking in a limited parking situation and only endured a 20 minute wait. The service was excellent and the food was even better!

Not only was it busy because probably the only breakfast place nearby but the breakfast was extremely delicious. Expensive but very good. We had the breakfast burrito and sandwich bagel. The waitress was hard to come by but overall it was a good experience. Food came out quick.

Always excellent food and service here! Enjoyed breakfast here twice in one week, the home fries are a must-have.

Loved this restaurant, the food, the story and the ambiance. We were in town with friends and made a lunch stop. I had the Southern Spicy BLT and would get it again. It was a toasted sandwich with bacon, lettuce, pimento cheese and the fried green tomatoes. Omgracious good! Took my time eating this monster of a sammy. Friends got the biscuit and gravy- pretty good- with a bagel sandwich which was a basic but good.sandwich Other friend got the veggie quiche which was good. Husband got the breakfast burrito which was good but said the burrito ran out of stuff at the end. The inside wasn't blended. The pancakes looked amazing that another table close by had ordere

The food was very delicious. I ordered the chicken salad croissant and the iced chai latte. Both were very delicious. Service was amazing. Our waiter was very kind and friendly. The ambiance was very pleasant. We sat outside and got to experience eating around other people and their dogs. The restaurant is very cute and has an open concept. Would definitely recommend for a quick breakfast or brunch. Make sure to bring your furry friends!

This was a takeout for breakfast experience with a variety of items purchased. Some are keepers, while others were a one time experience. The Good: The service was fast, food was hot, and everything like parking was easy to access on a busy beach island. Fruit and yogurt parfait was super fresh. The breakfast sandwiches were sold. The Challenge: some of the baked items like the cinnamon roll and the bagels used to make the sandwiches felt dry. Like day old dry. Maybe not, but not something I would personally be proud to serve. If you're on the island and want to pack on the morning calories, this is the place to be.

The food is always great. I enjoyed my huevos rancheros grande and everyone with me enjoyed their food. It can get busy so make sure you're prepared to wait potentially if it's busy season. The outdoor space is nice. I would recommend for a breakfast spot if you're staying in folly.

Came here on my birthday for a good breakfast and lost dog delivered! This place was so busy but it's expected since this place is famous for their breakfast menu. Our waitress was fast and always make sure we have what we need. I had their egg Benedict special with a side of fruits. My friends had french toast, Yogurt bowl with local granola and craisins, another friend ordered their delicious cinnamon rolls along with eggs and toast. We also ordered the mimosas and everyone was happy with their food! If you are in Folly then this place has ro be in your list for your food -venture.

Lost Dog Cafe is a great breakfast and brunch spot in Folly Beach that opens early, perfect for starting your day. The food is delicious; I particularly enjoyed the biscuits and gravy with an egg. The coffee was wonderful, and the service was fast and friendly. However, a word of caution if you're paying with a credit card: we had issues with being charged four times for our breakfast due to their handheld machine not functioning properly. Despite this hiccup, the overall experience was positive, and I would still recommend giving Lost Dog Cafe a try.

Perfect breakfast place for dog lovers! Patio was great! Food was delicious! Mimosas were tasty! Our server was super friendly and nice to our fur baby! The bagel sandwich was great! Love the potatoes and the crispy bacon! Husband loved his breakfast wrap!

We loved brunch at Lost Dog Café! We went around 10am on a Saturday and had to wait about 25 minutes for a table, which we were expecting. Our party of four all enjoyed our meals, which include the corned beef hash daily special, eggs benedict, and scrambled eggs. Service was friendly and efficient.

We had the Best International Eggs Benedict, the low country's version of the Benie, w canadian bacon, a fried green tomato!.. it was very good and the fresh fruit was a refreshing touch, props to making it local. The Bloody Mary and She Crab soup were just ok. Overall great service and a cool place for brunch.

Came here on a whim after visiting downtown Charleston and the reviews were too good to pass this place up! I love the shaded areas and the dog friendly patio's. You 100% want to get here early, we showed up around 10:30AM and waited for about 30min. which was not terrible at all, the parking situation took the longest lol. The patio we sat down at was cool and protected from the sun. The service was fantastic and the food & coffee we got was well worth the wait!! We can't wait to come back with our pup.

We waited until the last day to go to Lost Dog Cafe and what a mistake that was. We were in Charleston for 5 days and we would've eaten there every day if we had found it on day 1. Before I talk about the food, let me tell you about our server Anna. She was fantastic!!! She brought her A+++ game the day we were there. One of the people in our party is the group smart ass and she fired back with a little bit of joviality and a lot of snark. She read the table in an instant and knew how to deal with our group. She had us in stitches. I rarely give a tip larger than 22% but I did that morning. On to the food... The rest of the table ordered normal breakfast items but I decided to give the Folly Benedict a try based on Anna's suggestion. All I can say is WOW! the eggs were cooked to absolute perfection. The crab and shrimp cakes under the egg were not too dry but not too soggy. The biscuits were well done and were not dry. The one thing that tied everything together, however, was the hollandaise sauce. It's often said on Yelp that we would rate places higher than 5 stars if we could and Lost Dog Cafe is one of those places. If you are down in this area, DO NOT miss the Lost Dog Cafe. You will not be disappointed.

So happy I finally got to try Lost dog cafe, be tried coming so many times but always too hungry to wait for a table, but if I could tell myself then it's well worth the wait. We had a 15 min wait around 11am for 3 people and a dog. The service there was very good everyone was so friendly and chipper, I know that it can be hard while being so busy. The menu had so many delicious items they were serving breakfast and lunch. I got fresh lemonade with a lemon and then obviously there biscuits and gravy because one thing about me is if that's on the menu the it's a 95% chance I get that. It was creamy and had a lot of pieces of sausage in it. The biscuits were thick so the whole meal was very filling, didn't even finish it all but got close! Lost dog cafe is such a cool spot, lots of fun artwork and lots of seating on the patio and outdoor area. I didn't get to go inside but I'm sure it was cool! Parking can be a little hard during some hours but that comes with folly beach. I just found parking on the main road in the 2 hour spot limit! I wish I got a picture of my meal but biscuits and gravy aren't ever that photogenic and if there is one I want one! But would go back!

Will be busy on the weekend because that's how food this place is. Off the main strip of Folly Beach this delicious spot is a must stop for breakfast.

This is a perfect breakfast spot before the beach. The outdoor seating is very cute and welcoming. The servers were extremely friendly. Service was a bit slow but they did a great job trying to keep up with how busy it was. They had a ton of daily specials including a key lime pie French toast. It was delicious, not overly sweet and the strawberries were ripe. The home fries were well seasoned with onions and crispy while soft. These were the best scrambled eggs I've have in awhile!!! They were perfectly fluffy and the bacon was cooked well. The prices are extremely fair as well.

Loved this cute little place. Certainly not inexpensive as breaKfast for 4 was $104. The cinnamon roll was warm and delicious and was perfect size split 4 ways. I had the huevos rancheros. It seemed prepared a bit different than usual but was really delicious. A sidefruit plate included kiwi as a nice surprise, and was a generous portion to share. Expect to wait for a table, as it's not big, inside or out, and is popular. There are a few benches in a little garden setting next to the restaurant, which is a nice area for waiting. It definitely is worth the wait, so get on over and put your name in.

Came here after a morning visit to Folly Beach. It's a cute little café. We were seated in less than 5 minutes even with it being very busy. I had the classic grilled turkey, bacon & swiss croissant, and it was delicious. My husband had the she-crab soup and really did not enjoy it - stated it had a strong aftertaste of something that was not crab.

Food-always wonderful and consistent. We as a group shared a cinnamon roll. OMG was it yummy and soft. Never disappointed with the meals we receive. Food always cook perfect (to my liking) Service-their employees are always kind and hard working. Never have we ever had a meal that wasn't right. Ambiance-great cafe with pictures of peoples dogs all over the wall. Can be a little loud at times with all the conversation taking place at all the tables but that is also a great thing. Lots of happy customers chatting. They have outside seating as well as inside. You have to get here early or be prepared to wait. They are open for lunch as well. Serving breakfast during all open hours.

Awesome breakfast spot in Folly Beach! Get that warm cinnamon roll to share if you can...SO GOOD! And that breakfast shrimp burrito was melt in your mouth (the shrimp was cooked perfectly). Last but not least, the iced coffee lattes here are EXCELLENT. I added an extra shot in my iced vanilla coffee which made it nice and strong. Service is good and fast, so you will be in and out very quickly.

The food here is impeccable. A great breakfast spot. Been to folly twice. Loved this spot the first time had to come back the second.

Today was going to beach day, and I decided to fuel up with a breakfast burrito from The Lost Dog Cafe. Vibe: It was a gorgeous day, so I decided to sit on the patio and happy I did. The inside is very nice as well, but if you're going to the beach you might as well sit outside. The music was fabulous and I overheard the host staff commenting on how much they loved it as well. Overall, LDC is a super chill place and I'd recommend it. Food: The coffee was phenomenal! Second breakfast place that had better coffee than some of the coffee shops that I visited. I had the folly's original breakfast burrito and thought it was very good. A few comments on the burrito - I was disappointed with the salsa as it was they jarred salsa and just ok. I was also missing the sour cream that was listed on the menu and as a result a bit dry. Lastly, it was a bit heavy on green pepper and onion for my liking. Service: Service was good - super attentive. The host staff was great. They were super friendly and patient with everyone. A great greet always sets a good tone for your meal.

Can't go wrong with lost dog! A classic diner style atmosphere that has all of the classics you could hope for on a breakfast menu. The mimosas and breakfast portions are large, and coffee refills are flowing. I've never had anything here that isn't good, but it is diner food at the end of the day so nothing is groundbreaking either. A Folly must visit, however!

This place was amazing. I loved the ambiance of it. The wait wasn't as bad as we were anticipating, but it did start to get super busy so I would suggest going early if it's a weekend. The food was really good. The wait wasn't bad at all for our food. The shrimp and grits were AMAZING. I was so happy they already took off the tails. We would definitely come back.

I moved away from the area years ago, but Lost Dog Cafe remains my favorite restaurant to ever grace the entirety of Charleston County. From its humble beginnings in the old "Sanitary Restaurant" space on Center Street to its wildly successful location in the old laundry mat, I followed the Lost Dog for years. For my birthday last weekend, my husband surprised me with the two hour drive just to have brunch at Lost Dog. As always and especially on the weekends, there was a line and a wait. Though the joke in my family is that "Oh, she won't wait for food," I DO, I WILL, and I will ALWAYS wait to get a table here. The food is always worth waiting for. Others proved my point this weekend, as we all waited for our tables, even in the pouring rain! Not only was I super stoked to be there AND get a seat on the patio, I was thrilled to discover that they were serving their special: Corned Beef Hash. Let me tell you a secret: I do not like corned beef hash. But once upon a time, I took a bite of a friend's here and it was so incredibly delicious! Crispy but tender home fries topped with sweet, sweet caramelized onions, perfectly sautéed mushrooms, and *exactly* the right amount of thinly sliced corned beef mixed in and eggs cooked to your choosing laid on top. It's so delicious. Lost Dog is the only place I'll eat this dish and happy birthday to me, as it was on the menu that day! Paired with a latte and a cold glass of water and I was in heaven. My husband had a Bloody Mary that he really enjoyed and the Eggs Benedict. SO good. The addition of a fried green tomato adds something that, for me, helps cut the fatty flavors of bennies. The hollandaise on this day was acting like it was about to break, but it was still flavorful. Cheese grits were still the same, delicious, creamy bites of heaven and the bacon was perfectly cooked. Service, despite the place being a mad house, remains "Folly Excellent." And by that I mean no one is rushing you. You get to relax, eat, and enjoy the meal you waited so patiently for. Our waitress checked on us just enough! Not too much, never too little. This is a place that should be treasured and has been around a long, long time...and I hope it stays that way. Always.

Visiting family put of town and was in search for solid breakfast. Great atmosphere very dog friendly which does not bother me. I had half order of biscuits and gravy (excellent) and order of cheese grits (delicious and hearty portion). Sever took good care of us; will be back. There was a slightwait on a Sunday morning but well worth it.

Order their cinnamon roll you won't be disappointed! Perfect balance to any savory breakfast item you get. I got the breakfast sandwich on a croissant. Cute photos of dogs all over the place. It's a fun spot to visit.

Great little place right over the bridge into Folly beach. Parking is fairly limited but we found a spot pretty quickly. The food was good and arrived pretty quickly and for lunch time on a gorgeous day the wait was about 30 minutes for 3 people.

Such a cute place with amazing service! We went a little bit late around 10:45am for breakfast, and the morning rush was starting to slow down. You do have an option to sit at the bar, outdoor patio, and of course indoors. The prices are decent, alcoholic drinks are good and strong, food is delicious. The best was the biscuit and gravy.. Omg. A must!

Pleasant little restaurant with neat decor. Food was so satisfying and service was good. The Benedict was just as satisfying to look at as to eat and flavor was a 10. Grande Huevos was filling, flavorful and pleasure to eat.

Was not expecting much but what we had AMAZING. Great hamburgers, shrimp wrap, & cinnamon roll. Off the beaten path but a good meal and service too.

Had graham cracker strawberry French toast... phenomenal! Sweet, but not too sweet. My husband had folly Benedict. He loved it. My daughter had the everything bagel with lox and cream cheese... delicious. All the food was awesome. Server was nice and attentive. Sat outside on porch. A few bugs... but they will give you bug spray if you ask for it. The only complaint I have is... I ordered a cappuccino. The lady making coffees was way behind. I ordered that 1st and was halfway through my meal before getting it. Waited so long... I decided to add baileys. Not a good decision. The cappuccino was $6.00, the baileys ADDED an additional $5.00. Thought they might throw in the baileys because it took sooooo long. But they did not. Overall... I say... do not miss out on eating here. Lots of yummy dishes on the menu. Loved it

Loved all the sweet doggos we met! Only a 20 minute wait. Good service. Definitely a must do! All the food looked amazing!

Visited Lost Dog cafe on a Saturday morning around 11 am and were told the wait would be about 30 minutes for a table for 2. We waited on the benches by the garden which were pretty pleasant and our table was ready shortly after the 30 minute mark. We had a table outside which was lovely and had a great vibe. I was very exited when I saw huevos rancheros on the menu and had to order them. The dish was rather disappointing , the salsa was extremely bland, and the tortilla was soggy with cero crunch. The service was great and I appreciated the non-dairy creamer options (almond milk) for the coffee.

Love this spot! Don't really have much to add that other reviewers have said. Food and service is fantastic. Loved the fun twist on huevos. Will go back next time we are in the area!

Always a amazing experience. Fresh coffee, check Amazing breakfast burrito, check Cinnamon bun to die for, check Awesome staff always on top of things, check Dog friendly, check Baby friendly, check Indoor and outdoor seating, check Patriotic, check Mimosas!!!!! Check I think we nailed it! 5 Stars

This is a pretty cool place. The breakfast is always delicious and always busy. One of favorite spots to visit when we come to Folly.

We had a group of six and had to wait about 15 minutes for a Sunday morning which was great. It was easy to park. We shared a cinnamon roll and biscuits and gravy to start and we highly highly recommend anyone trying this place. Everyone at the table, enjoyed their meals to include the huevos rancheros, the loyal companion, and sides of potatoes. Someone did order the corn beef hash, which we weren't particularly fond of but everything else was absolutely delicious. The service was a little bit slower than we would've liked and we had to ask for a server a couple times after waiting 10+ minutes but other than that, we would definitely come back.

They managed to comfortably squeeze all 20 of us next to each other on a packed weekend afternoon. That deserves an award in itself. Food's not bad either. Service was very efficient and our guy did the extra step to check that we didn't have any missed/incorrect orders, had spare napkins, and filled waters. Bonus accolade: great brewed coffee, I was pleasantly surprised.

A lovely place for lunch especially for dog lovers with pictures of all the clients fur friends. I had the green salad but I hear the fried green tomatoes is the bomb, as well as the burrito wraps and chicken croissant sandwiches. Nice ambiance, easy parking, near the Folly Beach Pier for an afternoon stroll after a delicious lunch.

We came here for breakfast before going to the beach. We had like a 30 minute wait but they were slammed and it was rush hour so to be expected. There was shady area to stand/sit while waiting and water. You could also go up to the bar and order a drink or coffee to sip while you wait. The service was very quick (the waitress was very rushed and maybe a tad rude) but the food came out incredibly quick. The food was tasty! I got the corned beef hash and it had a lot of flavor and was a big portion. The restaurant was cute, with pictures of people's dogs spread all over the walls.

This place has such a cool vibe. Great menu with several interesting special every day. Breakfast sandwiches and burritos are the move. If you're on vacay on Folly, you've got to come here. Side note: I've been on a mission to try every cinnamon roll in Charleston and I must say, while this one tasted very fresh, and the icing was delicious, it isn't in my top 3. Too doughy, not enough of a crisp coating. And I personally prefer cream cheese icing!

We are on vacation and they had really good reviews. The food was pretty good and hot and fresh. I got the cheese grits which were amazing and the waitress was fast and friendly. We sat out side and the weather was perfect. Definitely would recommend.

We checked out of our AirBnB in Charleston at 10am but didn't fly out of Charlotte til 9pm so we had plenty of time to kill. We drove to Folly Beach and drove and walked around a bit. We stopped in the Lost Dog Cafe to eat before our 3 hour drive. It was Saturday at lunchtime and the wait was only about 20 minutes. We enjoyed everything. The BLT was slammin. Fried green tomato plus salty bacon on that fresh toasted wheat bread hit the spot. The biscuits n gravy were awesome. Seasoned very well and the biscuit was soft and buttery. The burrito was stuffed with eggs, sausage, and veggies and my wife couldn't finish it.

Staff is pleasant but the food is HORRIBLE! It may be a plus if you love dog photos. I'll never return.

Love it!! Service is great, food and drinks tasty and have a home cooked feel. Definitely get the pancakes (pictured in the review.) Also, don't be afraid of the bar seating - although it can be bit cramped at busier times I always meet new people/strike up some really good conversations sitting at the bar!

Had breakfast on Saturday.... There is an unbelievable gallery of dogs throughout the restaurant. The lattes were perfect start... We both had omelets stuffed with cheese & few veggies.... Side fresh strawberries...fresh ! We got there around 815AM but by time left ....915AM....a line was out the door as one very popular Foley Beach spot... Service was great !

The Lost Dog is a Folly staple that you must visit when in the area. We went because we had heard and read so much about it, and we weren't disappointed. We had breakfast and my mom said the veggie quiche was the best she has ever had. I had french toast which was also amazing! We are fans of the Bill Noel novels, so we were disappointed the infamous "Amber" wasn't there to wait on us, but we had great service nonetheless. Highly recommend! It stays crowded, so go early!

I had a pretty basic breakfast, which was both very reasonably priced and delicious, but what I was most impressed with was the staff. I watched with fascination. It seems chaotic but they have a system DOWN. Everyone is constantly hustling and doing multiple jobs and are very friendly. It is very casual and quite loud, especially inside. There are photos of cute dogs everywhere (the overall theme is dogs of course).

Always the best service and food. Love the sweet tea! Reasonable prices and new additions to the menu daily, make this the hands down best restaurant in Folly. Highly recommend.
