This place is EXCEPTIONAL! Had the best ribs I have ever encountered here. The red rice was equally outstanding, as was the Corn bread. The Mac and Cheese was good, but not my favorite, as it tasted more like a custard, making me think it has some egg in the recipe. Wasn't bad, just not what I typically enjoy. That said it was hot, in fact, all the food was nice and hot and fresh. The ribs must be baked in BBQ sauce as it was deliciously tangy and firmly attached to the meat. No need to pick them up, was easily eaten with a fork as they were the tenderest ribs I have ever encountered, and the flavor, all I can say is OMG! That goes for the red rice too. The blend of spices were seamlessly balanced. The cornbread was sweet and moist. I can absolutely say, this was one of the best meals I have ever had!

People were friendly, they have a limited menu, and were out of my first choice, but it was still really good.

Great food, great prices. Friendly staff.

True to low country soul food cooking. Great prices and delicious quality comfort food. Dont miss the food if you are on james island.

Great food friendly people. Will be back

What a generous, friendly, authentic establishment...oh and they create amazing food! The service was quick and friendly...very 'neighborhood' place...not formal...I like that when I travel. My grandsons (8 & 5) could not get enough of the fried chicken, rice, cornbread and mac & cheese! The fish & shrimp was delicious and the collard greens were on point! The Workman's Cafe...an authentic eatery!!!
