Bars near Edisto Island

“My hosts are Edisto "locals" and were tight with the previous chef PB who passed. His protégé took over and kept a few of his mentor's specialties on the menu. Under the "for the table" section, PB's Butterbeans. A little trough of Butterbeans came out and everyone scooped 4 or 5 forkfulls onto their bread plates. Can't tell you why, but those were the best damn beans I've ever had. The larger dish of fried Brussel Sprouts, same. Just for Starters. Then everyone got their orders at the perfect time, as we were picking pecan bits off the spoutes plate, and the orders of NOLA style BBQ Shrimp, my shrimp and grits, and the fried oysters someone got, the fried flounder the other two guys had and a mahi and clams dish were enjoyed through great conversation and wine and spirits. One of the best meals I've eaten since a dinner in pre-Katrina New Orleans 20 years ago. They stock a great many locally brewed beers, ales, and ciders. They have a full bar and high chairs. Not at the bar, but for kids you may bring along. I didn't see a kids menu, and the $25 pizzas sounded delicious, but my kid wouldn't have thought so. The place is inside some gated community or resort but don't let that keep you from them butterbeans! Just tell whoever is at the guard shack, "We're here for the beans."“

“We love Whaley's.....the history, the people, and the food! The service is great and the servers are friendly and very personable. The food is delicious and served hot. It's popular with the locals and the bar is always busy and TV's playing sports. It's a small restaurant in an old gas station with a fun, lively atmosphere served up with good food! Even their burger is great!“

“After paying out the nose at a very expensive restaurant where flavor was missing in most of the food, what a refreshing experience to eat at a beach shack with great tasting food at reasonable prices. Honestly, the food here will surprise you. House salad with shrimp and a ginger sesame dressing was fresh and very tasty. Fish tacos were light and flavorful. The Cuban sandwich was a riff on the theme, filled with excellent, smoky pulled pork and a delicious hot honey mustard. The fresh housemade potato chips were honestly addictive. Well done burger with bacon and cheese was still juicy and tasty, and accompanying salad was very fresh. All in all a really nice experience with helpful staff and a fun, easy-going atmosphere.“

“I decided to come to this restaurant with my family during my vacation here. Our server, Deana, was absolutely wonderful and attentive. We ordered our food having high expectations because of the prices. As soon as we got our food, I was completely appalled at the canned green beans, especially considering it was the fresh vegetable of the day. Overall the food was very average and extremely overpriced and the canned green beans have caused me to never return. Do yourself a favor, bring your own sandwich from home and enjoy the dockside view.“

“Fast service. Good drinks and friendly, happy guy. Made my birthday get away Saturday lunch a greT experience!!“

“We love going to get a quick bite here and watch the sunset! We always get our food to go and they go sit out by the docks and enjoy the sunset. Salty Dog next door usually has live music too that you can enjoy! ?Kid-friendliness: Our daughter loves running around and dancing to the music!“

“We stopped in for lunch today, we got Brisket Tacos & Blackened Fish Tacos. They were absolutely delicious! The space has ample space and a great ambiance. Sweet tea was good and server was very friendly! Would definitely eat here again!“
