Restaurants near Lady's Island

“The Cat Island Club in Beaufort, South Carolina was course designer George Cobb's final design as he “passed the baton” to his understudy, John LaFoy who did a masterful job completing the work. When the course debuted in the summer of 1985, it was enjoyed by both locals and out-of-state residents and became one of the most desirable clubs in the area for years.However, after several years of neglect and poor management, the property was in disrepair and was subsequently purchased by Resort Development Partners (RDP) on June 1st, 2022. The company immediately called on LaFoy to help them return the golf course to its former glory. LaFoy and the staff at Cat Island Club have worked tirelessly to see that every mound, undulation, and contour has been restored to what both Cobb and LaFoy meant it to be.RDP hired Tim Mervosh, a golf industry professional with over 35 years of experience in the golf industry as General Manager. One of the first things Mervosh did was open up lines of communication between himself, RDP, and the membership base eliminating any doubt that RDP was “in it for the long haul!”LaFoy has done a wonderful job of blending Cat Island Club into its natural surroundings. Water comes into play on at least 12 holes and makes for a couple of Kodak moments from the 16th and 17th tees. The Port Royal Sound comes into play on six of these.As I stood on the first tee at Cat Island Club in Beaufort, SC, one of the members offered me some words of advice, “Favor the right side of the fairway.” I took his advice and hit it down the right side and, when I drove up to the ball, I could see why. There's a pond on the left side that is reachable from the tee. If you hit it left off the tee, you might get lucky and find a bunker! The water comes into play on approach shots to center or left pin placements. Looking back, I should have kept him around for the rest of the round!The views for Numbers 16 and 17 steal the show. As you stand on the tee box of the 118-yard par 3, 16th hole, you can’t help but be impressed by what you see behind the putting surface. Sixteen showcases South Carolina’s Lowcountry at its best with a boat dock beyond the green and countless miles of marshland behind that. The par 4, 17th hole is a dogleg left that plays 341 yards and starts with a tee shot from a manmade tee box in the middle of the marshland. Playing your tee shot over the marsh and down the left side of the fairway will leave a good angle into the green which is long and narrow.If you’re looking for a club where status is measured by how much you’re worth, how big your house is, or the car you drive, then Cat Island Club probably isn’t a good match. Membership here leans towards God, country, and family. Patriotism is also on high display here and with Parris Island nearby it’s no wonder! There are many Military veterans in the area and Cat Island Club is no exception. They’re easy to spot; they’re the ones standing at attention and saluting whenever Revelle plays at nearby Parris Island. When the course officially reopened, the Marine Honor Guard raised the flag and there was a flyover of F35 fighter planes; talk about impressive! LaFoy himself served in the Marine Corps.On my recent visit to the club, I was overwhelmed by how much use the swimming pool complex received. It includes a lagoon-style pool, a kiddie pool, an adult-only pool, and a jacuzzi. In case hunger or thirst overtakes you, there’s a full-service bar and poolside grill with a casual menu. It’s not unusual to find entire families here for the day.Cat Island Club is currently accepting new members. There are several membership classifications with low initiation fees and very reasonable monthly dues. It’s the best and most economical way to be a part of Cat Island Club and take advantage of everything they have to offer.”

“Great place, delicious homemade pasta! Wait staff was sincere & attentive. Fun to eat here. Be sure to get a reservation as folks were waiting b4 they opened. They have a small parking lot, we biked.”

“Food was very good. We would probably rate a 4.5 if we could. I had duck, my partner had Mahi. Flavors were interesting and cooked to perfection. We rarely give a 5 so this is a great rating. Portion size was perfect. Glad we tried the place during our stay here. Acoustics make the restaurant a bit loud. Nicely we were seated at a table that was a bit quieter. Decorating, colors are very esthetically pleasing and calming. It is worth you visiting.”

“The food was outrageously good! Had this restaurant recommended by several local folks, and I’m so glad to have checked it out. They might have the best burger I’ve had in my life. Fried shrimp were also perfect.”

“Ist visit and it was awesome. Chelsea the server was so friendly and very efficient. I can't say enough about her and how awesome she was. The view was great. We had 5 people and 3 dogs on the screened in porch dining area overlooking the water amd on a hot day and it was comfortable. Will definitely return the next time in Port Royal”

“FANTASTIC find! When I tell you I had the best lunch here in recent memory! Scenic location, you can eat outside and view the boats out in the marina. We ordered brussel sprout melt, falafel wrap, fresh juices and an iced matcha latte. We thought it couldn't get better, until that chocolate cupcake! Do yourself a favor and eat here!”

“Cute place come by just to see the artsy decor. Super friendly people. I accessed it from the Spanish Moss trail. Casual atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating”

“The Ribaut Social Club certainly made my husband's 65th birthday celebration extra special. We were fortunate enough to have perfect weather so we could sit on their porch with a view of the water. We started with shrimp cocktail with the biggest shrimp I have ever seen. Local shrimp is always the best! Next up was cream of mushroom soup with perfect flavor and the correct temperature - nice and hot! For entrees we had the salmon and crab cake. Salmon was cooked to perfection and the crab cake was filled with lump crab. Our server, Misty, is the wife of the chef and she took excellent care of us. She even sent us up to the roof of the building to share a glass of sparkling wine to watch the sunset. A delicious birthday brownie in the lobby of this beautiful Inn rounded out the evening perfectly. The hospitality of all the staff was overwhelming. We will cherish the memories made in Beaufort at the Ribaut Social Club for a very long time.”

“This is a nice place on the non-water side of Bay Street. While the menu looked amazing, it didn’t taste quite as amazing as we had anticipated and as other reviews stated. The shrimp tacos were overpowered with Cole slaw, for example. We also could barely taste the bacon in the queso. However the service was friendly. On the plus side, a single taco comes with two tortillas and had enough toppings for two tacos”

“Fun little coffee shop in Port Royal. We were in town just for a bit, but made a point to visit multiple times. Wife apparently liked it, I think we stopped by there three times in one day.Staff was kind and helpful. Keep up the good work!”

“This was my 2nd visit, and the seafood has been delicious each time! The seafood boil and salmon were both very good. The portions are just right (enough for leftovers), and the prices are affordable.This restaurant has a charming ambiance, and we loved the waterfront view from our table! The staff was good.”

“Our server, Devon, was exceptional. She was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable of the menu. The food was fresh, excellent and on point. Try the shrimp & grits or the mahi. So good! The location is absolutely ideal to watch the various activities. We sat near the bar and there were some clear ‘pick up' situations going on with at least 3 couples. That created some awkward situations and possible concerns.”

“This is a must visit lunch spot! I don't know what they make their bread out of, but their sandwiches are God tier! I had the turkey and roast beef today, and it was fantastic.”

“If you like ICECREAM made the way it should be then go and make your mouth smile. We have brought many friends and have set this as a place that always pleases. Yes we put a check on our list of places to go back to.”

“Great vibe, and a fantastic location on the water! Fantastic selection of beers, seltzers and non-alcoholic offerings as well. And the food! Not your typical“food truck”, food. Many creative and flavorful options.”

“Wonderful staff! The cinnamon roll is delightful and i absolutely adore the Lavender’s Blue! It’s so yummy and succulent with flavors of blueberry and lavender.”

“Cute little coffee shop in downtown area. Service was good and cute little seating area inside as well as an outdoor patio area. Drinks came out quick and coffee was tasty. Great spot to stop when you're downtown site seeing.”

“The young lady, JOSLYN, has an extremely BEAUTIFUL personality! She welcome me with a warm smile and took the time to explain WET WILLIES Menu while sharing a laugh.I will definitely be back with my family!!! ?”

“Warm welcoming restaurant with outstanding menu and amazing food. The sushi is excellent and the grill side has something for everyone! Desserts are exquisite. Highly recommended as one of the best restaurants in Beaufort.”

“If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! By far the best customer service, display and selection of treats that I’ve ever seen. The caramel pecan apple was delicious.”

“Huge improvement over the previous owners. Excellent food and friendly helpful service. Definitely the best collard greens I’ve ever had and the salmon and pork chops were great.”

“Adorable cozy place with attentive staff and great food. I'm gluten-free, and the chef was very accommodating. I had the French (onion) chicken. They even had a gf bread basket! Very rare.Attentive and informed wait staff. Parking out front. Pricing is the only downside, and it is on the high side,Highly recommend.”

“We've visited Ryan's at least three times the first two times we had Italian (pizza- pasta) the last time we had hibachi. The lunch portion was a little in the light side but it could've been that it was so good we just wanted more. Every time we've gone the staff we're very kind, polite and professional. We're going again real soon.”

“Great service, location and breakfast. Omelets-TX w chorizo and Florentine both yum. Fluffy biscuits, side of gravy. Great local atmosphere. Walked to restaurant and then around marina and downtown to work off a few calories.”

“Nestled in a shopping plaza corner, Urban Brew offers a charming ambiance and an unforgettable dining experience. The Lavender Matcha is a revelation, blending delicate floral notes with the earthy richness of matcha, creating a symphony of flavors.For those craving comfort, the Biscuits and Gravy evoke homestyle warmth, each bite reminding me of cherished family breakfasts. Urban Brew is a culinary gem, offering delights for both locals and travelers alike. Prepare to be thoroughly satisfied.”

“What a fabulous restaurant with amazing indoor and outdoor ambiance! You will not be disappointed with the amazing food and fantastic service at this establishment! The staff is so helpful and the owners are very knowledgeable of their food and drink menu!”

“Finally, a delicious normal glaze donut! I don't have to eat dry subpar donuts from Dunkin anymore. Also, reg black coffee is a plus. It's the simple things in life that make some of us happy. No ridiculous long Starbucks lines promoting planned parenthood to contribute money to. I will try their ice cream now that it's getting warm again.”

“Tried the macarons at the Beaufort Oyster fest and knew I had to buy some more. The lady at the store was amazing. She greeted us when we came in. Ran me through the selection and prices, and packaged my selection in a super cute box. I can’t decide which flavor is my favorite. They are all delicious. Such a unique gem!”

“Enjoyed our visit here for our last family dinner while on Spring Break. Loved the food &views of the water, would definitely go back again! That they take reservations was much appreciated.”
