32 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Saint Helena Island

“Great food and service. Best in this area for sure.“

“Tucked away inside a vibrant Mexican general store, this unassuming taco shop is a hidden gem! The moment you step inside, you're enveloped in the sights, sounds, and aromas of authentic Mexican culture.

The tacos el pastor are absolute perfection! Juicy, flavorful, and generously portioned, these tacos are a must-try. The combination of tender pork, crunchy pineapple, and spicy onion, all wrapped in a warm tortilla, is pure magic.

What truly sets this taco shop apart, however, is its warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and attentive, happy to guide you through the menu or offer recommendations.

Don't let the humble setting fool you – this taco shop serves up some of the most delicious, authentic Mexican cuisine around. Get ready to taste the real deal!“

“We enjoyed a wonderful meal 2 nights ago! Lisa was our server and she was phenomenal. We ordered the Tuna Tartare and fried Oysters as starters followed by the Pan Seared Scallops and Shrimp and the Grouper Special. All perfectly prepared! When we return to Beaufort we certainly will return! Service, great timing in bring out absolutely delicious food. We highly recommend!“

“Delightful spot in Beaufort for breakfast or lunch. Patio is dog friendly. Highly recommend the Shrimp Bowl, Beef on Weck French Dip, and the gourmet Avocado Toast. Service is attentive and welcoming. Perfect spot to unwind and enjoy yummy dishes.“

“This should be a regular stop for me. Coffee and breakfast are amazing!“

“Fish Camp on 11th Street is putting out some great seafood! We found it through a TikTok review of the Beaufort area, and it did not disappoint. This place is huge with plenty of seating, so we did not have a problem finding a comfortable table on the screened-in porch. First off, we tried a couple cocktails - the Crab Punch and the Pineapple Mojito (both were excellent - the Mojito was very good blend of ingredients). Our server, Vanda, was super helpful in making a recommendation of a starter that was not on the menu - it was a shrimp/clam fritter with an amazing butter/tequila/lime dipping sauce - out of this world! For our main courses, I got the Shrimp & Polenta (cajun smoked ham, peppers, cheddar cheese, fried green tomato) - I highly recommend this dish. The cajun sauce was killer mixed with the polenta (grits). My wife got the Daufuskie Island Crab Cake meal (blue crab cake, sharp cheddar cheese polenta, mustard cream sauce, broccolini) - this entree was equally tasty with layers of flavors. Did I mention that our server Vanda was amazing, smiley, quick, and excellent at providing stellar recommendations? That young lady deserves a raise! Try this place, y'all!“

“Exceptional ambiance, food, and service. Looking forward to next time!“

“I read reviews that looked like this was a law we should try and so glad we did. I love the ambience, the views and the people are great here . They really treat you kind here . Our food was awesome! I had the catfish and my husband had the flounder , both were awesome and we both had fried shrimp. The cornbread is a nice touch when you sit down. You won’t be disappointed in this place.“

“Best bagels and sandwiches in Beaufort. These kind folks also help out the homeless.“

“Came highly recommended from a friend of ours and we were not disappointed! Food was excellent.....I loved the fresh baked bread! Steady line the whole time we were here! Highly recommend and would definitely come again!“

“I have nothing negative to say but also left unimpressed. We were sat quickly and service was quick overall but the food was lacking. I ordered the combo which included a taco, enchilada, and burrito. Both tasted exactly the same and I’m not sure they were even different in any way and the taco could’ve been from Taco Bell it was so bland. The shredded chicken was tasty but the meet in the other tacos was so fatty. The chips and salsa were delicious though!“

“Great food and service! Some of the tastiest Pad Thai I’ve eaten.“

“Food was really good. So happy to have a Chinese food go to again!!!!!“

“We enjoyed stopping by for a quick drink and a bowl of the owner's gumbo. If you like trying different foods, try the gumbo for an adventurous different tsste. We also watched a couple shoot pool. The staff and patrons were friendly to us (we were visiting from PA).“

“We visit this establishment every year while on vacation and it’s always delicious. However, this year the portion size was EXTREMELY small. I usually split an entree with my husband who is a big guy but luckily this year I ordered my own & glad I did. Another person in our party order a “side” of fried rice and her portion size was more than double the size of our entree’s. Otherwise the food is delicious.“

“We really enjoyed our experience, the food and our waitress Ali
We are from Pa and we had the best cheesesteak since moving south. They were kind enough to honor our request to put marinara sauce on top, I guess its not a thing down here, but it's how we eat them in Pa. We will be back soon“

“Nice restaurant and beautiful scenery“

“Moes helped cater a birthday party for me and it was all so wonderful. From the pick up time, to the serving ware to the delicious food. Everything was on point. Thank you so much. I give this experience 5 stars.“

“Little slow idk but grain of salt 🧂 😊🙏🏽“

“We were in a hurry for lunch so we picked up a few slices of pizza already made. Pizza had the BEST thin crust… tasty, not too hard, and great toppings.

I love pizza that is not too greasy and cheese is hot and stringy. I can’t wait to go back! This time I want to get a full order of a few pizzas to take home.“

“I was in Beaufort, SC for a family event and we about 30 of us decided to eat at Red Rooster Cafe. First time there. The food was delicious. I had the French Toast Breakfast with turkey sausage.“

“I went there last night and have to say the Caesar salad, Asian wings and bucatini with meatballs were amazing! Definitely going back for more.“

“Very positive experience. We ate on the outside porch on Friday evening. It was a beautiful nighttime view of the water & park, yet we stayed warm because of the overhead heat lamps. I had the fried pork wontons & my husband had the shrimp burger. Both were excellent. Our server suggested dessert - the fried cheesecake strawberry doughnut. It was so DELICIOUS!!!!!!!“

“Panini’s is one of the best kept secrets on Bay Street in Beaufort! The menu is robust, everyone in my family has a favorite. Whenever I mention going,they are all on board, which rarely happens when choosing a restaurant. The food and drinks are amazing!! Barbara and the staff are the absolute BEST!!!“

“Good service and good food, close to the marina we have a boat at. Olivia I believe was her name misplaced and hid my credit card, just Joshing she was great. 👍 🤣 will come back!“

“We had a family occasion to visit Madison's a few weeks ago with a party of six. We had reservations and the meal had been planned for a while. When the food arrived, we (most of us) were astonished at the small size of a combination platter. I personally had scallops and flounder. I had two TINY strips of flounder, not even the size of a frozen fish stick. What a disappointment. The scallops were also 'marble' size. The price of the meal, with an adult beverage, was over 70.00. The cost nowhere represented what the meal should have been. One of our couples asked if the combination platter was enough to split. The server's answer was "they could eat one of them by themselves." This should have been our warning. Very disappointed in the meal. I have had appetizers larger the two tiny slices of flounder. We return to Beaufort on occasions, as family lives there, but we will NOT return to Madison's.“

“Samuel took my order and brought my food out tonight. I have to say that he was very professional and so kind. He needs a pat on the back and his momma needs to know that she raised a great young man.“

“Amazing food and a beautiful view of the marina!“

“Being from Charleston, we decided to spend my husband's birthday weekend here in Beaufort this weekend. Our server, Tara, was the epitome of Southern charm and grace. Thank you for a wonderful experience here. We will be back.“
