Quarrier Diner

It's SOOOOOO GOOD. I got a sausage, spinach, cheese, and pepper omelette that was phenomenal. The staff were super nice and the place has great retro vibes. I will be eating here much more often.

Great breakfast sandwich - bacon egg and cheese with hashbrowns. Coffee is also good. The service both times I've been there has been excellent! So happy to have another great choice to dine here in Charleston! Highly recommend this place for great food and service.

Avoid. Have to wait a horribly long time for food.Not kid friendly. Heck, not friendly at all.Over-priced.

This review is for Timothy's, the downstairs bar, under Quarrier Diner. I've never eaten in the upstairs dining room, but you can order off it's menu in the bar area. Both are owned by the same family, and actually the husband and wife were there while we were eating making sure everything as a-ok. And, it was. The atmosphere at the place is amazing. There are at least a dozen televisions for watching a game, it has that cozy basement feel, and the bartenders know more than you'd expect about bartending. The bartender went into great detail explaining the differences in scotches when someone down the bar from us ordered a scotch and asked which was best. Another couple asked about gluten free beers, and he quipped up more info for them. The times that I've eaten there, I've had the prime rib (the king cut is a seriously big portion), which was amazing, wings (again, also huge) which were very good, too, and the last time, I had the mac and cheese. I think it was the best thing I've ordered so far. Prices are very reasonsable. An order of wings is "5" wings, but it's the whole wing, so it's really like getting 10. The sauce I had was a sweet sauce, which was okay, but my husband had buffalo, and he really liked it. Since they are a whole wing, they are a bit messy and unwieldy to eat.They have about 40 beers by the bottle and about 6 or 8 on tap. I'm impressed that they had Rogue Yellow Snow IPA on tap, since you don't see that much around Charleston. The bar has a shelf devoted to WV spirits, with about 5 offerings from Smooth Ambler in Lewisburg (I didn't even know they had that many types), which impresses me also.

For the last few weeks, I have tried without luck to come here for weekend brunch. Each time I've arrived, the hours on the door have been that they should be open, but the door is locked with the restaurant empty and closed. Either they need to change their hours online and on the door, or provide some explanation as to why they aren't open. Not a good way to run a business.

Visiting from Miami... Good home style diner cooking. Nothing fancy, but reasonably priced with friendly service.

Absolutely fabulous. It's not fancy, it's stoic with lots of history. Wooden booths, basic home cooking at its best. Very affordable and worth more. I had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich that came with a side dish for $8. Excellent food and excellent, friendly service. The homemade cheesecake with caramel drizzled on top was the best I've ever had. If I wasn't just passing through I'd go there again tomorrow. This is a must eat at place.

The QSD makes me a little sad. I continue to go because I love the history of the restaurant and the building. I'm worried, however, if they don't get their act together, they may close once again. The food is often hit and miss. You're safe with the corn chowder and the macaroni and cheese; they're both delicious. The salads are bland and lacking ingredients, and the entrees are so-so. Last time I dined there, my rolls arrived looking rather petrified and my server seemed a little too tweaky for comfort. There's an all encompassing aloofness to the place that isn't excusable. Wait times can be ridiculous & you can easily be forgotten... even when the place is dead.

The food was delicious and decently priced, excellent service. Their sweet potato fries and sauce are really good! Highly recommend for lunch with friends or family.

Under new ownership as of July 2016, and much improved. I've been for Sunday breakfast once and a few times for lunch. Breakfast was just what you'd expect at a diner, and lunch was a cut above. I recommend the Quarrier Sandwich (Pastrami on rye with delicious Cole slaw on top) or the Quarrier Burger. Fries are delicious. Looking forward to trying their dinner menu soon.
