What to Order at Gringo’s Diner

Breakfast is the draw. The breakfast burrito comes up most often, and diners also praise the chicken and waffles, French toast with strawberries and chocolate, the Coligny breakfast of eggs, bacon, grits and rye toast, and a breakfast sandwich on a croissant. The orange juice is squeezed fresh and the fruit gets its own compliments. At lunch it is burgers with hand-cut fries, along with sandwiches and other diner plates. The breakfast and lunch menus are on the restaurant’s site, linked above.

How It Works

You order at the counter and the staff bring the food to your table. The inside is small, with a handful of tables and a counter, and there are about ten outdoor tables under red umbrellas. There are no reservations. Weekend mornings in season can get busy, but the crowd turns over. Hours are posted differently across the web, so call (843) 785-5400 before you go if you are planning a late lunch.
