We spent all last week on Hilton Head Island. Our car arrived just before 7:30 in the morning and we were ready for breakfast. We’ve tried a couple other restaurants for breakfast upon our arrival in the past, but wanted to try someplace new. I quickly found a place with a funny name, Southern Coney & Breakfast, but good reviews online.

Outside

They are located in a strip mall with a few other restaurants and the BI-LO grocery store, fairly close to Coligny Circle. The inside is a no frills but clean-looking diner. A rows of booths line one wall, eight stools are located at the bar overlooking the kitchen, and one larger table sits just inside the front door.

Inside

Several reviews mentioned that the southern style biscuits and gravy were excellent. I went with the full order, two split biscuits smothered in homemade sausage gravy ($6.99). The biscuits were light and fluffy, while the gravy was full of sausage and flavor. The combination of creaminess and pepper flavors were perfect!

They advertise as having the best pancakes ever. My son is becoming a bit of a connoisseur, eating pancakes nearly every chance he can, and he did think this were very good. The three silver dollar pancakes ($3.99) was the perfect serving size for a six-year-old.

My four-year-old daughter decided on oatmeal with the extras ($4.99). There are over a half-dozen of extras that can be added to the oatmeal, and you can have as many as you like. I think she had almonds, dried cranberries, and brown sugar. It was more than enough for her, though she did seem to really enjoy it.

My wife enjoyed the egg and cheese biscuit with sausage ($3.29). Most of the food seemed to be cooked fresh from scratch, and the egg on this sandwich was no exception. This was enough food for her, but if you’d like to add a side there are a variety of potatoes or grits available.

We really enjoyed our breakfast at this casual diner. One thing I will note is that no alcohol is served. So if a Bloody Mary or mimosa is a requirement for your breakfast, you better head elsewhere. Otherwise this is a great spot for a quick and easy meal.
