Carm's Cafe

I was in the area and was hungry and this was next door to where I was. The sign said they're open until 3:00. It was 2:45. I went to walk in and the woman was standing there talking to people eating, looked at me and said "we're getting ready to close". Not a good way to run a business by turning people away 15 minutes before you close. The lady was nice about it but come on.

My first trip to Carm's was memorable and worthy to repeat. I visited at the suggestion of my client. Carm recognized him on the spot, recommended a table and discussed a couple of specials.

I ordered the BLT and pimento cheese panini along with a cup of spicy tomato soup. Crack! They hit it outta the park. Fresh ingredients, homemade flair, and deep flavors abound.

Looking for a locally owned, simple lunch all at reasonable prices? Give Carm's Cafe a whirl and try the tomato soup. Go here.

I love Carm's. The food is absolutely delicious, and the soups never disappoint. Best shrimp and grits in town..get there early on Friday or they will be sold out. The owner knows all of her regulars and even if you've only been in a few times, she will remember what you got last time. Where else can you find service like that?

I find it strange that some reviewers say it is "overpriced" when the portions are larger than normal, everything is made from scratch, and the most expensive thing on the menu is around $10.
Maybe you shouldn't be going out to lunch if $10 is too expensive for you?
Anyway..great place.

Tried this place the other week and was not impressed. This place is a complete dump with terrible food that cost way too much. No worries on me ever returning here and I would not recommend it to anyone unless you want to waste your money.

I've visited Carm's a couple of times for breakfast and for lunch, and each time I've not been disappointed. The food is fresh and house-made. The environment itself is small, the menus are just a sheet of paper and the decor doesn't "wow" you, but the food and service certainly makes up for this. The owner is very kind and will provide you with recommendations if you're unsure of what to order.

This is the surprise on Union Street that I have been looking for. Excellent food and service. My wife and I were there after looking at houses all morning last month. She had the chicken avocado salad and I had the signature sandwich. Both were excellent. Good prices and great iced tea. We'll be back.

Was not impressed. I ate here a few months back and felt it was overpriced for what I got. Haven't been back since.

Great little find. Service was not very good but the food more than made up for that. My husband got the breakfast platter and the grits were wonderful. I had a waffle which was ok. We will definitely be going back.

Carm's cafe is an adorable little cafe with amazing food! It is a little small but the food is amazing. Service is a little slow but is usually pretty busy so makes since. Great for doing work you won't be rushed out. Customer service was very friendly and good is very affordable. I had a buffalo ranch spinach wrap and it was to die for. Their shrimp and grits is also amazing but you can only get it on fridays. All and all an amazing little cafe.

Met my youngest daughter here for lunch today. It's not one of the regular places we go, but it's in the part of town we needed to run errands in today. I'm glad we picked this place!

I had the avocado chicken salad sandwich and a pumpkin bisque. Honestly the pumpkin bisque was a gamble, but it paid off. It was rich and savory - a solid start to what has to be in the running for the best chicken salad sandwich I've ever had.

It's a no frills place that still manages an artistic flair. We'll definitely be adding Carm's to the list of places we frequent.
