Bought my own fillets that I caught earlier in the morning. Was able to get 3 different items from sushi to sandwich to burgers. They were all amazing and tasted great.

I don’t go out much, but Locals Raw Bar was fantastic! I had lunch with a friend and we shared the fried pickles to start—so good. She had the cabbage pancake and I went for the fried chicken, both delicious. Keith, our server, was friendly and attentive. Can’t wait to go back!

Incredible spot! Cannot wait to return! Such a well-oiled machine... It was so amazing watching their team communicate and work together. This place is a gem!

The food here is the best of the best. They are extremely creative- the menu changes daily and features fresh local ingredients and local seafood. They go above and beyond to make the food delicious, interesting, and keep pushing boundaries. Every other menu in town stays the same for years, but they are always keeping their menu fresh and delicious. I highly recommend. We were fortunate to dine in recently when they had some lobster specialties. They made handmade pasta/ravioli stuffed with lobster and extra chunks of lobster along with the delicious. One of the best meals we’ve had. 👌 the sushi is great too.

Food was good but too salty. I ordered a tequila on the rocks and I noticed on the bill they charged me $2 for the rocks and a 4% service charge. Nickel and dimming on an already expensive meal is too much.

Best seafood / overall dinner food and experience in the Beaufort area. We meant to take more pictures but quickly were blown away by how good the food was and forgot. We were so lucky we found this place on our visit from Charleston. The chef is a true culinary master who cares about delivering high quality, fresh, delicious meals to his customers while also making sure they enjoy their experience. You can tell he loves his customers and loves his job and he’s good at it. We need him up in Charleston!! Service was on point, kitchen was organized, drinks were good, atmosphere was awesome. If you’re wondering whether to try it or not, listen to me - GO NOW! You won’t regret it.

BEST SEAFOOD AND SUSHI IN BEAUFORT. You should probably come here. I don't think much more needs to be said. Oh, the drinks were fantastic too! The Empress....20/10. I'm not sure how much fresher the seafood could get. This place nailed it though and I'll definitely be back for more.

We had an outstanding experience at Locals Raw Bar yesterday. The food was exceptional—we tried every stone crab item on the menu, the grouper, sushi, and one of each dessert, and everything was fresh and delicious. The drinks were equally impressive, with excellent cocktails and a thoughtful selection of wines and sparkling wines. One thing we really appreciated is that Locals Raw Bar supports the local fishing community. When we visit Beaufort, we look for restaurants that offer local seafood, and this spot delivered—the stone crab was locally sourced, which is why we ordered every dish featuring it. It’s great to see a restaurant highlighting local catches on the menu. Service was top-notch. Our waitress was knowledgeable about both the menu and drink list, answered all of our questions thoroughly, and made the evening even more enjoyable. The restaurant was also very accommodating of our 4-year-old, which made dining as a family stress-free. Overall, Locals Raw Bar exceeded expectations on every level—food, drinks, service, and commitment to local seafood. We’ll definitely be back.

Found this place randomly looking for brunch/lunch. We split 2 sushi rolls, 6 oysters, and a cabbage pancake (which was recommended by the locals at the bar, and did not disappoint). Everything was incredible. Will be back next time we are in town.
The best restaurant in Beaufort SC! Everything is fresh and Hunter creates magical plates!! A number one recommendation for atmosphere and good food!!

Locals Raw Bar is an epicureans delight. From ocean,from garden, from farm to table. The attention to detail the attentive staff the superb manner in which they run the open kitchen! This is a five star restaurant. I am so lucky to have found this restaurant!!! Holly meant to send out FIVE STARS! Sorry about that mishap

The small sign that caught my eye should be replaced with a massive red flashing arrow to grab more attention. This place is a true hidden gem. Everything that came out was perfectly prepared, plated, presented, and taste phenomenal. I had a dozen raw oysters, which where shocked to order and very fresh. My main dish was Mutton Snapper which I could have eaten 2!!!! And dessert was homemade banana pudding which was a perfect ending to an absolutely delicious meal. Can't wait to return with my family next time.

Best food ever!!! Just wish the menu wouldn’t change because if you get a taste for something you had there once doesn’t mean it’ll be there if you go again.
