“Food was perfect! Plan to return.“

“10 out of 10 ! This is a must for anyone who is able !“

“Mainly 5 stars because I came up here from the beach on my 30th birthday and they delivered with cold beer and the best Crispy Chicken Salad I’ve ever had. Crispy fried chicken, halved figs, candied pecans, hearts of palm, a delicious truffle dressing over some romaine. I mean good gawd almighty.“

“We couldn't have enjoyed a 4th of July celebration anywhere else like this! They had soooo much for the whole family to enjoy! They had food, games, the best entertainment, swimming and so much more! The fireworks show our huge crowd agreed was the best we have seen! I hope it works out for us to be here on the 4th of July again!

Playground: Wonderful and shaded!

Restrooms: Nice superclean and easily accessible

Picnic area: Yes, and close to everything fun. Very well laid out for family get-together!“

“I am giving a combined 4 stars because while this place was good, it is definitely overpriced. I paid $25 for 2 coffees and that just seems outrageous to me. I love coffee and I've tried a lot of different places, none as costly as this. The coffee was also just fine, it wasn't anything special.

The area is very nice though! There's a nature center nearby that had a baby gator, opossum, and much more. While I recommend, just don't plan on finding anything reasonably priced.“

“Excellent food, service and decor.“

“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.“

“One of the best restaurants in all of Charleston! Definitely worth the drive if you aren't close by“

“Good food friendly staff food and drink specials like Trivia night“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“I got the bacon cheeseburger with a gluten free bun. It was amazing!“

“I visit Folly once a year so I'm sure this really does not really make a difference. My server ...young lady came to our table asking quickly what we would like. Ordered coffee...I asked from across our table of 4 may I have cream with a straight face no smile picked up the creamer and slapped it front of me. Here it is As if to say are you blind . Very rude. This year I didn't buy a tee shirt and If next year I stop for a meal but probably not.“

“I can’t say enough good things about this place. Everytime I come I feel so welcomed! They truly have the most inviting staff that treats you like family. The best latte I’ve ever had is from here (oat latte with white chocolate & fresh strawberry syrup). I come here weekly because it’s an amazing experience everytime. See yall next soon 🥰🥰“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Kids food was reasonably priced and portions were solid. The seafood platter was not great and looked thrown together quickly, but tacos were fantastic. The view and atmosphere were also wonderful. I would probably go back just for that part of the experience.“

“One of our favourite spots on the island“

“Great food. Great atmosphere. Awesome waitress. 5 stars from me“

“I took my family on a daycation today. We stopped in and ate. The food was very delicious. The only problem was one of their workers would not stop staring at us to the point of it being creepy. Not ever going back there again. A family should be able to enjoy their meal without the gaulking.“

“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!“
