“The food and venue is fantastic and same for service. We were greeted by multiple member of staff and host was very attentive with our order.“

“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.“

“Just had dinner at Smoky Yolk for half price burger night. One kid got a burger and another got breakfast. Food was good, served quickly and great service. Both boys were asking to go back tomorrow. Thank you!“

“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.“

“Our waitress was great, food was good, atmosphere was awesome. There were outdoor games for the kids to play while they were waiting on their food, live music, lots of seating. It was pricey but the setting was really pretty. We went at dinner time but didn't see the things we had previously looked up online, our waitress kindly got us some lunch menus and we found what we were looking for. The hush puppies were so yummy!

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu items come with a drink and a side which was nice.“

“We came here while on vacation, and I have to say, the sandwich I had was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had in my life. By FAR. Could not recommend the Wakey Bakey more. The cold brew was also delicious. We found seating for four easily and had a great time. Seriously, try out the Wakey Bakey! The classic sausage egg and cheese croissant my friend got also looked great and was huge.“

“One of our favourite spots on the island“

“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!“

“This place is more of a sports bar, so it's not your quiet type eatery, it is very loud, and very lively when certain games are playing. I will never fault a restaurant for being loud when that is its very spirit!

The food is not top quality cuisine like fine dining, hence the four stars on that, but please don't take that as anything negative; It's quite the opposite in fact. The food itself is very good for what this type of restaurant offers. Sports bars normally have basic food that has flavor but not exquisite. Pictured here is a bacon burger with their special tangy sauce, which is actually quite good so to speak. Their fries are crunchy so if you don't like that, this may not be for you.

The service was incredible, I was served by a bartender by the name of Tyler H. He was very chill, very friendly, and hearing he was willing to sacrifice his time off to work here because of rather dubious workers gives me great respect to this grill. I will most definitely be visiting here every time I visit Kiawah simply because its workers have faith in the restaurant. I wish that kid the best of luck, and great kudos for his diligence in dealing with the customers. Especially a dork such as myself.“

“If you want seafood with great flavor and texture and a little kick I suggest Coconut Joe’s fish tacos I was just expecting regular fish tacos but when I tried Coconut Joe’s fish tacos it greatly surprised me the texture of the fish and the soft shell tacos were amazing and the sauce was awesome I don’t usually like spicy sauce but this was a good type of heat that drove my taste buds wild the nachos I ordered were really good too just the right amount of flavor

Kid-friendliness: My youngest niece was amazed by the place when she walked in but when she saw the saw the shark above the table she immediately took my hand and took me to the table which didn’t bother the employees at all they served us at the table they were really nice and polite“
