In 2008, the Early Bird Diner replaced an Alex’s, decorating the walls of the greasy spoon with local art and giving West Ashley a younger, hipper option for diner food. Now the spot has earned national attention thanks to our favorite bleach-blond TV host Guy Fieri and an appearance on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, which has led to longer wait times. The breakfast menu is served all day and features traditional dishes like shrimp and grits, a couple of scrambles, and french toast, as well as an eggs Benedict served over corncakes. Lunch focuses on sandwiches (which are also available through dinner), and dinner offers down-home Southern favorites like meatloaf and a pork chop. Check out the chalkboard for specials like the chicken and waffles, which covers both in honey mustard in addition to syrup, giving the Southern staple a tangy kick. They also make ice cream in-house and change the flavors daily. Though it’s not open 24 hours like Alex’s was, Early Bird is open until 4 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. —Susan Cohen Dish (Winter 2013)
