Restaurants near Saint Helena Island

“The food was outrageously good! Had this restaurant recommended by several local folks, and I’m so glad to have checked it out. They might have the best burger I’ve had in my life. Fried shrimp were also perfect.”

“Wonderful staff! The cinnamon roll is delightful and i absolutely adore the Lavender’s Blue! It’s so yummy and succulent with flavors of blueberry and lavender.”

“Our second time coming and we loved it. Great Mexican food and friendly staff. This time we got cabeza and al pastor tacos and it was so delicious ?Last time we got the tortas and they didn’t disappoint, if we are back in the area we will come back.”

“Huge improvement over the previous owners. Excellent food and friendly helpful service. Definitely the best collard greens I’ve ever had and the salmon and pork chops were great.”

“Quaint little place with a homey atmosphere and truly excellent food. Applebees says “when you’re here, you’re family,” but I think that slogan would more appropriately apply to Another Slice. Pleasantly busy (not too many people, not too few) and the live music was the cherry on top.”

“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.”

“I just had the shrimp dinner and wow does not do it justice. It came with crispy fried shrimp and hush puppies that were really good the Cole slaw is true southern. Over all this is just a simple but delicious place to eat. I will be back. Thanks for the awesome food keep up the great food.”

“We managed to squeeze in for lunch and were pleasantly surprised with great food and drinks, for a pool side spot it’s really fantastic. People are super friendly!”

“My wife and I have eaten at the Beach Club a few times in the last few months and the food has always been very good. We have had the Oyster Stew, the Spring Salad, the Filet Mignon, the Seafood Risotto and the Blackened Mahi Mahi. All were delicious and were decent sized portions. Our server was very nice and prompt with our order.We do think that the resort should put some money into the ambiance because there is very little. When it is dark out you would barely know you were at a beach restaurant. It also does not feel very fancy considering the prices of the entrees. Some wall decorations and a more beachy theme would help a lot. We are very glad there is a second option for a good dinner on the island but it can be improved.”

“Was looking for a place to grab lunch on our way back from hunting Island beach. Found this place, and I am glad we did! Great little place with great food! I had the taco's special for the day, which was a fried oyster, fried shrimp, and fried flounder taco's. They were absolutely amazing! Definitely recommend anyone passing by this place to stop in!”

“Beautiful Oceanview and watched dolphins play for long periods of time from our deck.Parked the car and cover the whole island by golf cart the whole week.several pools to enjoy including adult pool (very peaceful)and many beach accesses to explore.Freeing newly hatched sea turtles in the evening. Very good food on island andoff the island. Lots of deer that will even come up to your golf cart.Two beautiful golf courses, Would highly recommend checking this out with friends and family!”

“Great lunch; simple hot dogs were Great! Onion rings nice light not too greasy. My wife's chicken ceased salad and son's chicken ceases wrap was Great and the sweet 'tater tots were plentiful (!) and yummy. Server Ben was on top of things and nice recommendation on drinks! Frozen Alligators were yummy and wife's margarita was excellent. We will be back!”

“Chef Bill has got it going on! The staff at Gullah Grub was simply amazing: attentive and welcoming. The menu is on the small side, but that is because everything is prepared fresh with in-season ingredients--a core aspect of Gullah Geechee life on the island. Our spread included shrimp gumbo, fish and shrimp, mac and cheese, and lima beans. Although we have no confirmed roots on the island, the food was like a love note from our dearly departed grandmothers. The flavors are simple but powerful, letting the food be the dominant voice. My shrimp was the sweetest and most tender I've had in years. The gumbo is not like your Louisiana gumbo. This one has a tomato stew base. The added shrimp was a nice ornament, but not needed. The chicken and veggies in the gumbo were the stars of that dish. Adding a few spoonfuls of red rice sent it over the top. The red rice, though! Smokey and tender. It is a great vehicle for gravy and sauces. Mine was gone too soon. Each dish is served with your choice of rice, a seasonal vegetable, and a hearty scoop of potato salad. The potato salad was tender and starchy, mildly seasoned. It was almost a palate cleanser. I found I took a taste after a bite of something spicy. Our veg was lima beans. We were served a generous bowl. Honestly that with the rice would have been a more than satisfying meal. The beans were so tender but still had bite. They were smokey with a thick gravy. The flavor is hard to describe, probably because I haven't had fresh lima beans before. It was a wonderful experience. Then there was the mac-n-cheese. You're served a hearty, peppery slice of baked macaroni. The noodles are were perfect, with a thick and cheesey top. We took a couple of slices of sweet potato pie home with us, but it is served warm and smelling of cinnamon and sugar. The sugar, though is natural. This is not a very sweet sweet potato pie. It is definitely one of the thickest slices of sweet potato pie I've ever had. Chunks of potatoes can be seen, in addition to the spices. The pie is fresh, simple, creamy, and so eatable. There isn't a lot of crust , but it is sturdy, like you could carry the slice in your hand and eat this on the go. It would make a nice snack because it isn't cloyingly sweet like a lot of desserts. We added a dollop of vanilla ice cream to ours when we were back at the hotel. That modification sent the pie over the top!Gullah Grub was a joyful dining experience from the brightly painted walls adorned with memorabilia from Chef Bill's life to the singing that drifted our way from the kitchen. It felt like home. We are so grateful. The staff gave us advice on sites to visit in the area while incorporating some personal family history into their tips. This has been a truly memorable experience. 10000000:10 will return.Parking: Parking is along the side and behind the building, no real signage but plentiful.”

“Nice marsh side eatery with fresh seafood. Catch of the day was blackened snapper but the real star was the buffalo fried shrimp. Tacos were good with blackened mahi but cold flour tortillas were a missed note.”

“Great place, delicious homemade pasta! Wait staff was sincere & attentive. Fun to eat here. Be sure to get a reservation as folks were waiting b4 they opened. They have a small parking lot, we biked.”

“Food was very good. We would probably rate a 4.5 if we could. I had duck, my partner had Mahi. Flavors were interesting and cooked to perfection. We rarely give a 5 so this is a great rating. Portion size was perfect. Glad we tried the place during our stay here. Acoustics make the restaurant a bit loud. Nicely we were seated at a table that was a bit quieter. Decorating, colors are very esthetically pleasing and calming. It is worth you visiting.”

“FANTASTIC find! When I tell you I had the best lunch here in recent memory! Scenic location, you can eat outside and view the boats out in the marina. We ordered brussel sprout melt, falafel wrap, fresh juices and an iced matcha latte. We thought it couldn't get better, until that chocolate cupcake! Do yourself a favor and eat here!”

“Location is great, we saw a fine sunset over the water. We had the seafood risotto and the salmon. Both were good choices. Above average wine list for a casual place like this.”

“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”

“Fun little coffee shop in Port Royal. We were in town just for a bit, but made a point to visit multiple times. Wife apparently liked it, I think we stopped by there three times in one day.Staff was kind and helpful. Keep up the good work!”

“This was my 2nd visit, and the seafood has been delicious each time! The seafood boil and salmon were both very good. The portions are just right (enough for leftovers), and the prices are affordable.This restaurant has a charming ambiance, and we loved the waterfront view from our table! The staff was good.”

“Our server, Devon, was exceptional. She was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable of the menu. The food was fresh, excellent and on point. Try the shrimp & grits or the mahi. So good! The location is absolutely ideal to watch the various activities. We sat near the bar and there were some clear ‘pick up' situations going on with at least 3 couples. That created some awkward situations and possible concerns.”

“This is a must visit lunch spot! I don't know what they make their bread out of, but their sandwiches are God tier! I had the turkey and roast beef today, and it was fantastic.”

“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.”

“Great vibe, and a fantastic location on the water! Fantastic selection of beers, seltzers and non-alcoholic offerings as well. And the food! Not your typical“food truck”, food. Many creative and flavorful options.”

“Cute little coffee shop in downtown area. Service was good and cute little seating area inside as well as an outdoor patio area. Drinks came out quick and coffee was tasty. Great spot to stop when you're downtown site seeing.”

“The young lady, JOSLYN, has an extremely BEAUTIFUL personality! She welcome me with a warm smile and took the time to explain WET WILLIES Menu while sharing a laugh.I will definitely be back with my family!!! ?”

“Warm welcoming restaurant with outstanding menu and amazing food. The sushi is excellent and the grill side has something for everyone! Desserts are exquisite. Highly recommended as one of the best restaurants in Beaufort.”

“If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! By far the best customer service, display and selection of treats that I’ve ever seen. The caramel pecan apple was delicious.”
