9 Best American Restaurants near Fripp Island

“Loved Pickles and her team! She was always so friendly and took such great care of my family. Our last night we ran up there for ice cream and the place had already closed, she could’ve ignored we were there but instead she popped that door open and welcomed us and served us the best ice cream. Pickles is one of the reasons we love Fripp! Beautiful island, great security, and family friendly service. Thank you Pickles!!“

“We loved the location right by the water. We had about a 10 minute wait. We got our drinks fast, they were delicious. Tried the she crab soup—absolutely delicious! I had a scallop primavera special, my husband had the rib eye, both were fabulous. We will definitely be back. The waitress was nice and fast. She could have checked on us a bit more but overall we enjoyed our experience.“

“This local restaurant has the absolute best Shrimp and Grits on their Sunday menu. Their fried shrimp is the best I've ever had and their Beedos burger is amazing. With a great variety of sides and homemade desserts, you won't be disappointed with anything you order here. It's on the way to Hunting Island State Park. Doesn't look like much but it's the best restaurant in in my Beaufort by my far. Any of day is a good to day to eat at Beedos and their Sunday menu is extra special.“

“Best meal we’ve had since being on the island! The food at Johnson Creek Tavern was insanely good — super flavorful Southern dishes. Service was amazing too. We’ll definitely be back!“

“William Green; the owner of this small home-style "Gullah Cooking cuisine" restaurant, let us (party of 8) in after closing early due to poor weather. The hospitality he greeted us with was as if he had never closed the restaurant. This kind, generous man welcomed us into his local-art-stocked room. Mr. Green was the only worker in the place at this time. He took our order with impeccable accuracy, went back to the kitchen, and prepared the comfort food himself. Surprisingly, he arrived with the food 20 minutes after the order was placed. The stories he told us of his fishing and hunting excursions are spiritual connections I will carry for a lifetime. This man is truly God-sent, and if you're ever in South Carolina, I recommend this place "Gullah Grub", to anyone in the area. He will treat you with upmost respect and courtesy and he will give you his best! God Bless this man and his family!!“

“My husband and I really enjoyed the food—we had both breakfast and dinner here. While I understand why the reviews are mixed (it is on the pricier side and the atmosphere is pretty basic), it’s a small beach town spot and I’m sure the staff is doing their best. That said, the cocktails were excellent, the food was fresh, and we left feeling full and satisfied.“

“Been eating here since 1973 on my first trip to Hunting Island State Park. Food has always tasted fresh and delicious.“

“Great food and service. Best in this area for sure.“
