The ones in Mt. Pleasant aren't the same kind of independent restaurant and Town Center doesn't really have any

Five Loaves was actually very yummy -- not sure if they are a 'farm to table' kind of place...off to Google.

Love Five Loaves. Avoid 1-3 though unless you want to wait for a table outside in line. Have been there for dinner and it was just as good as lunch!

Yeah, they do. For all the attention Mt. Pleasant gets, I really feel like West Ashley has been locally owned, independent restaurants.

Nothing wrong with Zaxby's, it's always good to see any business move in. It means jobs for people (yes, I know it's low paying, but it works for high school students, college, people wanting a second job, etc) and more options. But yeah... nothing really competes when places use local ingredients.

Whoa now wait a minute -- West Ashley has its fair share of chains as well.

West Ashley is older than Mt. Pleasant as a settling spot for those not available to live in the Peninsula.....so yes it has some older, indepdent restaurants.

Speaking of independents -- anyone ever have breakie at the Sea Biscuit on Isle of Palm. We've had a few good breakies there.

I still believe in the town of Mt. Pleasant there are more independent restaurants than chains. Whether those restaurants use local ingredients may be a different story.. that's up to the owner.

I would still trade a Zaxby's for Raising Canes. Personally I would rather have a chain resturant in a commercial area like Towne Center. Keep the independents in more picturesque places.

James Island too. We rarely need to leave the area to find what we want.

All the talk of a Cheesecake Factory in MtP has been a complete fail. I bought into the CF coming into to old Guy Harvey restaurant.

Anyone know why 17 North Roadside Kitchen closed aside from the overpriced and limited menu? :-)
