What a great start to our Sunday morning! We were greeted right away as we walked in and our server was prompt and attentive. I ordered the Mariner omelette and my husband doesn't eat egg so he opted for the Loaded BLT. We both enjoyed our dishes and ate every bite. Get the grits. You'll thank me later. We will definitely come here every time we come to Charleston.

Great location. Great views of the water. Parking available in a paid car park right in front of the restaurant. A great thing for downtown Charleston. Beautiful views overlooking the water. A lovely place for lunch. The menu is great. We had alligator tails for our appetizer! Everything tastes fresh and is seasoned well. I had the mahi sandwich with butter beans- really great! Service was good. Food was served very fast making lunch a possibility if you are taking a break from work. The reason I give 4 stars because I feel the place could be a tad cleaner. The smell upon entry is overwhelming. It isn't too bad in the seating area but it's very off putting when you first walk in. There are areas of sticky floors too- not a great image for a seafood place. Overall this is a great spot for a bite to eat.

Simple comfort food for lunch and breakfast. I had the shrimp and gritis with fried green tomatoes. The servers were attentive. Old bay feel.

Perfect breakfast spot for my last morning in Charleston. My mom & I went early, and it was so peaceful arriving at this cozy restaurant on the waterfront. The coffee was strong, the food was great, the service was friendly, and the views were amazing.

Stopped by Marina Variety store restaurant for breakfast. The spot was clean and was overlooking the bay. I ordered the flounder fish (grilled) with scrambled eggs and hash brown (shredded potatoes). It was good! The prices were also reasonable. My colleagues who joined also liked their dishes! Solid service, good prices and nice views.

First time in Charlotte SC. We were looking for something within walking distance from Comfort inn for breakfast. Not a chain restaurant. Found this nice laid back spot to enjoy a meal and view the Ashley River. Kim our server was very friendly. We selected biscuits and gravy to share with side of eggs and bacon. Different gravy flavor but good. Glad we found this tucked away restaurant.

Place wasn't as busy as I was expecting on an early Sunday morning. The people were friendly enough. We weren't crazy about the Shrimp and Grits or the bacon they came with my Starter plate. I like my dollar pancakes even though they weren't even close to being silver dollar size. The restaurant itself was clean and the view was spectacular. When we left there was a family basically carrying their elderly mother down the long thingy of stairs. Oh but they're validate and you get free parking. Winning. Please don't take this as a bad review. This place is amazing. Just be prepared for some of the downsides.

hello everyone this place is ALL TIME. You can't beat the view. my gal pal was leaving and as our last breakfast for the time being we decided on Marina Variety Store. When I think about my gal pal leaving it brings tears to my eyes but then i think about the breakfast we shared and it makes me happy. "don't cry because it's over smiled because it happened" as the saying goes her food was so good she couldn't take a minute to smile for the camera. She is off to texas because all her exes live here, stay blessed
