The Flipside Cafe

The Flipside Cafe is the breakfast, brunch and dinner restaurant on US-21 in Fort Mill, South Carolina, a locals’ spot that south Charlotte has adopted for weekend brunch, with a full bar, mimosa flights and Bloody Marys in three sizes.

The Fort Mill Biscuit Bake with over easy eggs, shrimp and grits, a veggie hash bowl, a Monte Cristo and a meatloaf that converts non believers. It fills fast for brunch, so early is better, and it runs dinner Tuesday through Saturday with local beer on tap. The room has a local, lived in feel rather than a chain polish, the bar seats are the quick way in on a busy morning, and the kitchen does not shy from a cocktail before noon. South Charlotte drivers use the Fort Mill exit on I-77; it is closer than it sounds.
