13 Best Seafood Restaurants near Edisto Island

“They have the best shrimp. Right off the boat Edisto shrimp which is the best. They also have a variety of fresh fish. The shrimp and crab dip is also delicious. I want to try their food truck but it's been closed when I go there. I'm always there too early.“

“May I just take a moment and give SeaCow Eatery a chef’s kiss?! The food here was so good and they’re dog friendly.My family and I ordered: clam chowder, mini crab cakes, shrimp po boy, fried oysters/ shrimp/flounder/scallops, grilled scallops and a salad. Everything was seasoned to perfection. Service was great and it is such a laid back cozy restaurant. If I was having a bad day, I would come here and all my problems would go away.I would literally come back to Edisto Island just to eat the food here. This is the type of food where everyone at the table is quiet; because, it’s that good! I wish I would’ve taken pictures; but, I was so hungry that I couldn’t stop eating. Really worth trying!“

“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."“

“Enjoyed our meal. Had eaten there during our spring trip to Edisto and enjoyed enough that we revisited during our fall trip. Food is good, service friendly. Grits in the shrimp and grits were "runnier" than we prefer but taste was good. Seemed a bit pricier than in the spring, but what isn't?“

“Came a second time just a few days later. Everything was good. New things we tried was the Pimento pork chop, pecan pork chop, tomato pie and Parmesan Groper. The new items were accompanied by some we already knew we liked. Still recommend and Curtis is still an amazing server. Tonight he was very busy but kept everyone happy. The bar was a little louder from extra people but otherwise very nice.“

“Stopped here with a group of 8 family members for a late Sunday lunch. Staff was busy with all the patrons during the Sunday lunch rush so our plates came out at all different times. Many enjoyed their sandwiches and the ‘raw’ fries and the kids meals were satisfactory. However, there are very few gluten free-friendly items due to majority of items being battered/fried (so I ended up with a salad).Dietary restrictions: No cashews/pistachios at the time we went. However, there are very few gluten free friendly items.Kid-friendliness: Great standard kids meal menu with options for games/crossword on the back.“

“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.“

“The service and food was amazing! During a very busy yime. Our waitress was patient and efficient. The food was outstanding. Hands down the best lump crab cake that I've ever had in a restaurant. They were huge with true lumps of crab in them. Not at all bread like most. Everything was fresh, well seasoned, and quite tasty.“

“Great dinner. They don’t take reservations so you may have to wait but it’s worth it. Pork chop was a little on the small side but tender and well (sweet) seasoned. The grilled shrimp are Cajun spiced, the fried flounder was just good. BEST cheesecake I’ve have EVER eaten! Wine was reasonable with a good variety. Overall a great experience, with the drive and the wait.“

“I really enjoyed this restaurant. The food, presentation, atmosphere was excellent. The food tastes so fresh. The waitress was so nice and even wrote a sweet message on the receipt. I will definitely come back again, when I'm in town.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp for wheelchairs or if someone is using a rollator.“

“Everything is amazing here! The people, service, food and atmosphere!!! Thank you Calli for the best service and recommendations. Thank you Resa for making the BEST brisket melts. They are phenomenal! Thank you Brandon for turning on (and finding) the Michigan game! We will be back for sure!“

“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!“

“Nice space on the second floor of a building with a large bar and tables spaced out enough for a fair amount of privacy. Apparently sharing ownership with the Waterfront Restaurant, which is also on the island. Their raw oysters were pretty good and tasted fresh, but I wasn't impressed with anything else. I had a great meal at Waterfront and would go back there instead.Parking: Weird parking lot with concrete barriers in strange places. We went in the offseason so there was plenty of space. During the summertime, I bet the lot fills up especially if the bar on the first floor is open.“
