Restaurants in Isle of Palms

“This place is at different level than any other place on the IOP or Charleston area! The food and drinks are top notch and definitely worth the wait to be seated. Definitely a coastal gem in SC!”

“My husband and I held a wedding rehearsal dinner here and everything was perfect! Shannon and the staff were phenomenal! Food was fantastic, view incredible and a perfect venue for our event! The staff made a stressful event very easy and beautiful! I highly recommend and give them 5 stars+”

“We had no reservations. Walked in, and the kitchen was only cooking orders that had already been placed. The chef/owner offered us seats at the bar and his special homemade pasta with meatballs for 2. The bartender was very attentive, funny accommodating and the food was amazing True Italian dishes. everyone we came in contact with with was friendly and accommodating”

“Fantastic seafood and Donovan was the best server ever! Oysters, crab cakes! All great!”

“My girlfriend and I recently visited Sea Biscuit between the Christmas and New Year's holidays. My girlfriend raved about the crab eggs benedict and I was satisfied with my omelet. Sea Biscuit serves good home-cooking if slightly over-priced in my opinion. But overall, it was a very positive experience. We went for brunch and it was still crowded...expect to wait during peak hours.”

“Vibes are immaculate. This is a *bar* and *club* full stop. Go for the great drinks, amazing service, and good music. Don't come for food, but the fact they offer it is a plus.”

“my wife and I come to IHOP twice a year , we always look forward to eating at long island cafe, good food, good service ,good atmosphere, good location, my wife talks about key lime pie , all the way on our trip from the upstate, see yall soon”

“Awesome food And service was fantastic.”

“My husband and I enjoyed an awesome birthday dinner at The Boathouse! Travis made our dining experience perfect! He was hands down one of the nicest people we have ever met. Every recommendation he gave was spot on! All of the food ( and drinks) were delicious. He went over all the specifics of the specials and the menu, making sure to suggest sauces to pair with the fish. He genuinely wanted us to have a nice dining experience. Thank you Travis! And the Boathouse! We enjoyed it!”

“Wonderful food and service!”

“Was there the year it opened and still going back Rachel and Liz outstanding bartenders. A great place to stop after beach or just stop for a few drinks”

“0n probably one of their busiest days of the year, springtime opening beach festival, they went above and beyond to get my elderly aunt and I comfortable seating in a timely manner as she’s diabetic, and made sure we were taken good care of throughout our lunch. And of course, the food and drinks were on point! Highly recommend!!”

“View of course is great! The food has always been good and the servers also! My favorite time is when the weather is suitable for rooftop dining with a moderate crowd and live music!”

“We had an amazing lunch today at Smugglers. The food and drinks were great. However, what really impressed me was the customer service. A customer came in and requested a wine that they did not have. one of the bartenders ran out and bought a bottle so this woman could enjoy the drink she wanted. Who does that?!? The bartender at Smugglers, that's who.”

“Scott and Daniel make excellent cocktails! Sydney was quite possibly the best server on the island, friendly, knowledgeable, efficient yet unobtrusive. The views are lovely and can be enjoyed from nearly any seat. This restaurant has some of the best appetizers! It became our go-to for afternoon snacks and refreshments.”

“If you’re looking for the best coffee and pastries on Isle of Palms, Cafe Paname is the place to go! Every morning, the aroma of fresh-baked pastries and brewed coffee welcomes you in, and the quality is simply unbeatable. Amine, the owner, is always so friendly and makes you feel right at home with his outstanding customer service. Every visit is a treat, and you can always count on delicious flavors and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommend!”

“We moved from IOP a few years ago and when we visit a stop at Co-Op is a must, several stops actually. Breakfast sandwiches are insanely good, bacon, egg, and cheese, you cannot go wrong.

For lunch we had a Cowboy Chicken sandwich, Cali turkey, and a Greek salad. Oh, and Frose:) DO NOT FORGET THE FROSE:)

My daughter and I really, really, miss burger night with animal fries. It was our weekly tradition and we have not been able to adequately replace it since we left.

We miss you Co-OP!!!!”

“Angelica is simply amazing! She was the bartender at the bar in the lobby of Wild Dunes Resort (Sweetwater) on May 19, 2024 and she kept the bar open a few hour late to ensure the wedding party and guests had the time of their lives. I just had dinner and drinks a few days ago and ran into Angelica again. She provides first class service with a smile and she makes everything better!”

“Enjoyed a lovely dinner with delicious food, attentive waitstaff, and a spacious dining room. We had the filet, halibut special, risotto, bread, and cheesecake. All were cooked to perfection and flavorful. A welcome respite from the hustle and cramped nature of downtown Charleston establishments.”

“Pizza was pretty dern good! But visit ended on a head scratcher. Caesar Salad was ok, not a wow. All sorts of different greens …not a classic Caesar with Romaine. That’s on me…should have read menu closer. Pizza was really good. Decent potions, cooked nice and crispy. Our family had left over pieces from everyone’s pizza we wanted to take home…almost a full pizza worth of left overs. This is a pizza place?! They brought us tiny little paper boxes to stack our pizza pieces in…!?! If I wanted a layered lasagne…I’d have ordered lasagne. I was looking forward to my leftovers…not any more. Who stacks pizza pieces in tiny boxes? Head scratcher…. Real missed opportunity… pizza goes in a pizza box. Offer it with piece of foil in the box so your guests can slide it right into a pan to reheat. Not the last impression you want guests leaving with in my opinion. Your pizza is too good to be disrespected like that.”
