Quarrier Diner is a historic downtown Charleston diner located at 1022 Quarrier Street in Charleston. The building dates back to the 1930s — originally a classic steel railcar diner. In the mid-1940s it was remodeled into an Art Deco style building, complete with Vitrolite glass tiles and a streamlined look that gives it a distinctive retro aesthetic.



The location has gone through various restaurant owners and periods of vacancy, as well. At one point, it was on an endangered properties list.



Quarrier Diner serves up hearty, classic American diner fare — especially for breakfast and lunch.



I ordered the Kielbasa Dogs - "2 Kielbasa Dogs On Split-Top Buns With Sauerkraut, Onions & Mustard" to go.



I love kielbasa, so I was excited for these. The sausage was hearty. The classic yellow mustard added a familiar tang that tied everything together. Still, the overall flavor could be elevated with a sharper brown mustard or spicy grainy blend to bring more depth and balance to each bite.



I think their breakfast has received more rave reviews, so I'd like to return to check that out.
