| - Located in a *very* nondescript strip mall just over the South Carolina border, The Flipside Cafe is an ode to incredible, local food, good service, and excellent prices. To put it another way: oh my Jebus, this place is unfuckinbelievably awesome!
The first thing you may notice upon walking into the airy, light-filled interior is the giant chalk board listing all of the local suppliers for their food. The Flipside seems to be truly dedicated to the craft of local restaurateuring (I know that's not a word... eh, screw it). When we walked in at 11:00 on a Sunday, the folks behind the counter were already busy preparing lunch: they were chopping large quantities of local farm-grown veggies, making the dough for savory pastries from scratch, etc.
The Sunday Brunch menu is both extensive and varied. Being the indecisive schmuck that I am, I ended up ordering "The Flipside," which was really a sampler of their classic southern breakfast. How good could this be, you ask? Fuckin' stupid good, dude. So stupid good, it should ride the short bus of epicness. The eggs were fried in just the right amount of butter to make them a sinful indulgence, yet somehow managed to avoid becoming a grease fest. The bacon was chewy, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection. The cheddar in the cheese grits was blended in so that you got just the right amount of cheesy consistency in each bite. The biscuit and gravy was just OMFG: House-made biscuit with thick, but not overly dense and salty gravy. Little chunks of sausage sprinkled throughout so as not to overwhelm with porkiness in any one bite. The meal was like a breakfast orgy for my taste buds: every item brought something unique and wonderful to the table, and a good time was had by, well, me.
Guess what! They serve Counter Culture coffee! $3 and unlimited refills! So, by the time I was full, I simply levitated out of my seat and zipped out of there like one of those mini drones.
Service was friendly as could be and they always got whatever we asked for right away. One small criticism: as noted in other reviews, it felt like they really needed another server when the number of customers surpassed five. It was, at times, difficult to get our main server's attention... not necessarily her fault.
As for prices, with coffee ($3), food ($10), tax, and tip, I got out of there for just under $17. A very reasonable price and well worth every damn penny.
Oh! And there were maybe 10 people in there on Sunday at 11 AM. WTF are you doing, Charlotte?! Go to this place! Worship at the altar of incredible food and leave a more perfect person... well, at least a fatter and very satisfied person.
