Restaurants near Lady's Island

“The Cat Island Club in Beaufort, South Carolina was course designer George Cobb's final design as he “passed the baton” to his understudy, John LaFoy who did a masterful job completing the work. When the course debuted in the summer of 1985, it was enjoyed by both locals and out-of-state residents and became one of the most desirable clubs in the area for years.However, after several years of neglect and poor management, the property was in disrepair and was subsequently purchased by Resort Development Partners (RDP) on June 1st, 2022. The company immediately called on LaFoy to help them return the golf course to its former glory. LaFoy and the staff at Cat Island Club have worked tirelessly to see that every mound, undulation, and contour has been restored to what both Cobb and LaFoy meant it to be.RDP hired Tim Mervosh, a golf industry professional with over 35 years of experience in the golf industry as General Manager. One of the first things Mervosh did was open up lines of communication between himself, RDP, and the membership base eliminating any doubt that RDP was “in it for the long haul!”LaFoy has done a wonderful job of blending Cat Island Club into its natural surroundings. Water comes into play on at least 12 holes and makes for a couple of Kodak moments from the 16th and 17th tees. The Port Royal Sound comes into play on six of these.As I stood on the first tee at Cat Island Club in Beaufort, SC, one of the members offered me some words of advice, “Favor the right side of the fairway.” I took his advice and hit it down the right side and, when I drove up to the ball, I could see why. There's a pond on the left side that is reachable from the tee. If you hit it left off the tee, you might get lucky and find a bunker! The water comes into play on approach shots to center or left pin placements. Looking back, I should have kept him around for the rest of the round!The views for Numbers 16 and 17 steal the show. As you stand on the tee box of the 118-yard par 3, 16th hole, you can’t help but be impressed by what you see behind the putting surface. Sixteen showcases South Carolina’s Lowcountry at its best with a boat dock beyond the green and countless miles of marshland behind that. The par 4, 17th hole is a dogleg left that plays 341 yards and starts with a tee shot from a manmade tee box in the middle of the marshland. Playing your tee shot over the marsh and down the left side of the fairway will leave a good angle into the green which is long and narrow.If you’re looking for a club where status is measured by how much you’re worth, how big your house is, or the car you drive, then Cat Island Club probably isn’t a good match. Membership here leans towards God, country, and family. Patriotism is also on high display here and with Parris Island nearby it’s no wonder! There are many Military veterans in the area and Cat Island Club is no exception. They’re easy to spot; they’re the ones standing at attention and saluting whenever Revelle plays at nearby Parris Island. When the course officially reopened, the Marine Honor Guard raised the flag and there was a flyover of F35 fighter planes; talk about impressive! LaFoy himself served in the Marine Corps.On my recent visit to the club, I was overwhelmed by how much use the swimming pool complex received. It includes a lagoon-style pool, a kiddie pool, an adult-only pool, and a jacuzzi. In case hunger or thirst overtakes you, there’s a full-service bar and poolside grill with a casual menu. It’s not unusual to find entire families here for the day.Cat Island Club is currently accepting new members. There are several membership classifications with low initiation fees and very reasonable monthly dues. It’s the best and most economical way to be a part of Cat Island Club and take advantage of everything they have to offer.”

“The Ribaut Social Club certainly made my husband's 65th birthday celebration extra special. We were fortunate enough to have perfect weather so we could sit on their porch with a view of the water. We started with shrimp cocktail with the biggest shrimp I have ever seen. Local shrimp is always the best! Next up was cream of mushroom soup with perfect flavor and the correct temperature - nice and hot! For entrees we had the salmon and crab cake. Salmon was cooked to perfection and the crab cake was filled with lump crab. Our server, Misty, is the wife of the chef and she took excellent care of us. She even sent us up to the roof of the building to share a glass of sparkling wine to watch the sunset. A delicious birthday brownie in the lobby of this beautiful Inn rounded out the evening perfectly. The hospitality of all the staff was overwhelming. We will cherish the memories made in Beaufort at the Ribaut Social Club for a very long time.”

“This is a nice place on the non-water side of Bay Street. While the menu looked amazing, it didn’t taste quite as amazing as we had anticipated and as other reviews stated. The shrimp tacos were overpowered with Cole slaw, for example. We also could barely taste the bacon in the queso. However the service was friendly. On the plus side, a single taco comes with two tortillas and had enough toppings for two tacos”

“We are visiting for two months and love this place! It is our go to restaurant. The atmosphere is amazing and so inviting. We have LOVED it and the food is great!!!!!! Try the seafood platter!”

“Upscale atmosphere, comfortable bar, good food. However, they’re using some horrible smelling product to clean or wipe the bag and it’s stinky which is not a nice accompaniment to eating. Ick. The bartenders were very distracted with regulars and the other staff. We had to get their attention at every stage of the meals. The food runners literally dump the plates in front of you and run away as fast as possible. It felt like a diner environment.”

“We’ve gotten food here multiple times already. It’s really good enough to have gone back. The staff were really nice. We decided to take out our sandwiches. There’s plenty of parking and a seafood stand in the same parking lot,”

“OMG!!!! Let me tell y’all how amazing the food was here! Drove all the way from Rome, GA for this and it didn’t disappoint! $2 oyster night started this experience for me!!!! You gotta order the JFC. The fried chicken was great. It was crispy and GLUTEN FREE for those that care! The Lisa….??. The sushi was customized to be cucumber free (personal preference). The owner is different but I mean he’ll do…I guess! Y’all it’s worth the ride!”

“If you like ICECREAM made the way it should be then go and make your mouth smile. We have brought many friends and have set this as a place that always pleases. Yes we put a check on our list of places to go back to.”

“Adorable cozy place with attentive staff and great food. I'm gluten-free, and the chef was very accommodating. I had the French (onion) chicken. They even had a gf bread basket! Very rare.Attentive and informed wait staff. Parking out front. Pricing is the only downside, and it is on the high side,Highly recommend.”

“We've visited Ryan's at least three times the first two times we had Italian (pizza- pasta) the last time we had hibachi. The lunch portion was a little in the light side but it could've been that it was so good we just wanted more. Every time we've gone the staff we're very kind, polite and professional. We're going again real soon.”

“Great service, location and breakfast. Omelets-TX w chorizo and Florentine both yum. Fluffy biscuits, side of gravy. Great local atmosphere. Walked to restaurant and then around marina and downtown to work off a few calories.”

Urban Brew is a culinary gem, offering delights for both locals and travelers alike. Prepare to be thoroughly satisfied.”

“Finally, a delicious normal glaze donut! I don't have to eat dry subpar donuts from Dunkin anymore. Also, reg black coffee is a plus. It's the simple things in life that make some of us happy. No ridiculous long Starbucks lines promoting planned parenthood to contribute money to. I will try their ice cream now that it's getting warm again.”

“Husband and I were having a day-date for our anniversary and skipped dessert at dinner and went out on an adventure to find some fresh Macaroons! We came across this local family owned shop and were surprised with our experience! I didn’t have a clue how pricey these little bite size treats are but we value local and family owned businesses so we got a 6 pack and a DIY kit for the kids for Easter. These were by far the BEST that I have ever had. The perfect little chew and the flavors were very accurate with their description. We had cookies and cream, turtle truffle, and a a few others. Very yummy. If I had the craving for some macaroons again, I would most definitely revisit this cute little shop.”

“Enjoyed our visit here for our last family dinner while on Spring Break. Loved the food &views of the water, would definitely go back again! That they take reservations was much appreciated.”
