Personal Injury Attorney in Goose Creek, SC

A popular bistro is set to expand to Goose Creek this winter, bringing its signature comfort dishes to the area.

Sunrise Bistro, owned by Brian Appelt, will open at 216 St. James Ave. in the former Bangkok Restaurant space, which previously housed St. James Place, restaurant broker Mike Santos of The Commonwealth Company told What Now Charleston.

The 2,580-square-foot restaurant sold on ListingLedge.com.

“It’s a good location–St. James Ave. St. James Place used to be there and that was a breakfast, lunch and dinner spot as well,” Appelt told What Now Charleston. “We don’t have a location in Goose Creek. There’s a lot of growth there, so we thought we could try it out.”

Patrons won’t miss the bistro’s sign, which will showcase a bold black design illuminated with halo lighting.

The menu highlights hearty breakfast staples such as the Hungry Howie plate, Nancy’s French Toast and the French Toast Sandwich. Bigger options include the Country Fried Steak Plate, Enchilada Rancheros and a loaded Breakfast Burrito, while the Grits Bowl and housemade corned beef hash offer classic Southern flavors. Open-faced omelets range from the veggie-forward Garden to the meat-heavy Little Pigs.

Lunch standouts include the Basil Bacon Grilly Cheese, the corned beef Reuben and the Chicken Philly. Seafood options include the Sunrise Po’ Boy, the fish and shrimp platter and the crab cake sandwich, with lighter choices like the Bistro House Salad and Strawberry Goat Cheese Salad.

The restaurant will feature a light, vibrant design highlighted by a mural of Sunrise Bistro along one of the walls.

“I’m excited about bringing our local vibe to different towns. It’s great to see the communities that we build in each of our locations,” Appelt said.

Sunrise Bistro, which opened in 2009, operates locations in Mount Pleasant, Johns Island, downtown Charleston and Summerville.

The team has not announced an official opening date for the Goose Creek outpost but is aiming for late December or early January. For updates, visit the Sunrise Bistro website and follow along on Facebook.

GOOSE CREEK, S.C. (WCSC) - Goose Creek veterans came together in an annual ceremony to honor all service members.

The American Legion Post 166 along Howe Hall Road hosted its annual Veterans Day ceremony as they have for decades.

The Post 166 Honor Guard performed a traditional Salute to Colors and a wreath presentation.

David Coates served in the U.S. Navy and acts as the Honor Guard Captain for the post. Coates, along with the team, performed a three-shot volley rifle salute and presented flags. The tribute also typically takes place at funerals and events.

“It’s a recognition of all the services, all the servicemembers that have served in all the wars, and we gather every 11/11 at 11 a.m. and that’s the way it’s always been and always will be to pay homage to those that served in the wars and veterans in general.”

He says the Lowcountry’s large military presence adds to the importance behind the holiday. Coates says the day remembers and honors servicemembers of the past, present and the future.

The ceremony also included a prisoner of war/missing in action ceremony to remember prisoners of war and servicemembers who are missing in action.

The ceremony included a table for one to symbolize a person missing from military ranks. The table is covered in a white tablecloth to symbolize the purity of the military members’ intention of serving their country. A rose in a vase signifies the blood they may have shed for their sacrifices, as well as their families’ faith in their return.

Veteran and Judge Advocate Richard Trowbridge was the event’s speaker. Trowbridge says the holiday honors the fallen, active servicemembers and veterans who have served.

“We want to keep this idea of performing patriotism, and performing may sound weird, but sometimes you have to go out of your way a little bit,” Trowbridge says. “I assume it’s because I’ve got a 25-foot flag pole in my front yard. A lot of people don’t.”

He says this work keeps the legacy and sacrifices of service members alive.

“With anything in life, there is some sacrifice,” Trowbridge says. “Being in the military, sometimes it’s a little bit more enlarged. You’re leaving your family behind. I did one exploratory search for a year. It’s tough leaving your family behind for a year.”

Trowbridge says it is important for the community to keep traditions alive. One way he urges the community to give back to veterans is by saying “thank you for your service” to any veteran. He urges veterans to be more recognizable by wearing pins or caps.

The post hosts events throughout the year. You can find these events .
