15 Best American Restaurants in Johns Island

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“Always a wonderful experience, the food and service are excellent“

“Absolutely love this new cafe!!. It is in such a great location on the way to Kiawah Island. To Go options, smoothies, brunch options, coffee, alcohol, picnic options, indoor sit down dining, and outdoor air down dining options. Atmosphere is super fresh, clean, everyone is so friendly and kind. We were a bit nervous stopping at a new place but absolutely fell in love. We also have two little boys and we did not feel uncomfortable or a nuisance. We often times run into that feeling when eating but that was not the case. They also had a refrigerator full of all local business products from local alcohol to local bagels to local ice cream. We will be definitely stopping by next time we go to Kiawah and also we will be bringing all of our local friends. Such a nice warm welcome change when it comes to places to eat in the Kiawah area.“

“I normally do not like shrimp and grits but theirs was delicious! Also the pasta salad, squash, butter beans, and tomato pie were yummy as well. I hate sugared cornbread so that was a no for me. The crab cake wasn't bad but I personally don't think it's worth that price. Great service, location, and food overall!“

“This is an amazing restaurant! The atmosphere and service is top notch and the chef is amazing. We had the pimento chitin start followed by the fried chicken with cheese Mac and collard greens and finished it off with banana pudding. Simple dishes but to prepare them correctly takes great talent, to prepare them the way they did takes great talent. My compliments to the chef!!!“

“Wonderful fresh food and great service“

“Very unassuming from the outside, we actually almost skipped it just based off looks. So glad we decided to stay. Everything we ordered was amazing. I had the breakfast burrito with turkey sausage and my husband had a French toast sandwich. The side of fruit was actual good fruit and not mediocre honeydew like many places. Perfect stop for brunch after visiting the angel tree and tea garden.“

“Sports bars aren’t my typical environment of choice because I don’t drink and I don’t watch sports. I do like watching people in new environments, though. I was craving a steak salad, and having recently moved back to Johns Island, I wanted to try somewhere new. I saw The Natural pop up in my search results and decided I’d give it a try.

The salad was fresh and delicious with crisp greens, juicy tomatoes, and hot yet tender steak. I wish I’d taken a photo then, but I ate it probably too quickly. I decided to drink one of their delta 9 seltzers and definitely felt its effects a little too long for my comfort. I was grateful that the waitress didn’t hurry me to leave once I finished my food.

Still feeling the effects heavily, I told the host I didn’t feel comfortable driving yet, so I moved to a bar hightop table. I was grateful that I could sit here until I felt sober enough to go home. I’m not sure how long I was there for, but definitely nearing 2-3 hours. It gave me a chance to capture my surroundings and observations. Thought I would share here since I took advantage of sitting somewhere for so long.“

“Love this place, good smoothie, coffee, sandwiches.

Vegetarian options: Vegetables salad, croissant with jelly, fruits

Kid-friendliness: Kids love this place. Order different types of sandwiches, smoothies, then go out for enjoy on the grass.“

“Love sitting outside and watching the boats come in and go out… ♥️“

“One of our favourite spots on the island“

“It was nearly freezing outside and they tried sitting us next to an open window, thankfully they were understanding and moved us to a different table. Our server was a little slower and less attentive than other servers at the tables around us, we had to wait several times for refills on our drinks. All of the food tasted great and everything but the soup was an appropriate temperature. When it is near freezing I want soup that warms me up from the inside, the she-crab soup did NOT do that. The soup was not hot at all, I'm pretty sure the rest of the food was hotter than the soup, it still tasted good but was a little disappointing.“

“The loaded hot dog is my favorite anywhere! The drinks are perfect and the atmosphere is terrific! You need to check this out!!“

“A private club restaurant with incredible food and service next to the water!
Chef Antjuan sent out the most delicious tuna on purple quinoa even though we were early for the dinner service. Bradley was on top of his service game and we really appreciated all of his suggestions and consideration. As condo owners We love Seabrook and the Pelicans Nest, especially their specials each day!“

“We are not from the US and wanted to have a waffle house experience. This location was very clean, the service was fast and helpful and the food was yummy.

They have a great section for adults and kids with really good kids prices. They even gave our kids some little paper hats to wart that added to the experience.

Vegetarian options: There seemed to be lots of vegetarian options

Parking: There is a large parking lot right outside with plenty of spaces

Kid-friendliness: They had about 5 menu options for kids that were $6 with the option to add a drink for $1“
