Scenic waterfront dining with spectacular sunsets while eating american and seafood cuisine. Upstairs and downstairs seating with optional bar seating. Kid friendly as well as serving a child menu.

Have eaten here many times. Food is ok, but the poor rating stems from service, starting when one walks through the door. As others have noted, donât even think about eating here without an amenities card! I get it, but they could be a bit nicer about it. Then they hmm and hum for a couple minutes to âfindâ a table. This was five minutes after they open! At least they asked us how our day was (they do that every time we are there), which was a bit insincere. Our server was ok and tried. The whole staff seemed disorganized. Canât beat the views though, as it is right on a low country tidal marina.We're sorry that your experiences at Bonito Boathouse were less than exceptional and all of your concerns have been passed on to our food and beverage managers. Any reviews are incredibly helpful for us to see what's working and what isn't so we can strive to be better each and every day. We hope that you give us another chance and decide to visit again. Thank you so much for your feedback!

Staff at the Fripp Island resort recommended this restaurant to us as it is quite convenient to the island. The setting is decidedly casual and their signature thing is the personalized dollar bills stapled to virtually every surface in the place. Overall, the four of us were pleased with our food and drinks. I had the mussels which were tender and tasty, My dinner companions were happy with their choices as well.

We are a locally owned family restaurant specializing in seafood, steak, ribs, and a variety of great desserts. The restaurant is under new ownership and management as of April 2017. Please stop back in if you've been gone for a while, or if you've never

Though this wasn't near as bad as some of the other restaurants I've been to here it was not good either. Every place I have been to here that serves Seafood (besides Dockside) overcooks their entrees. The food here was just overall bland, not seasoned well and my family got the fried shrimp and it was overbreaded tiny pieces of shrimp. It wasn't as poor as Foolish Frog but close. Family style atmosphere though so decently nice on the inside.

Beautiful rustic restaurant nestled on the Lowcountry barrier island, with stunning marsh views, serving local shrimp from the shrimp boats just up the road, beautiful fresh seafood and local produce from Demsey Farm. We pride ourselves in fresh prepared

This is one of our two favorite restaurants in the area. We saved it for our last night at Hunting Island. We had shrimp and crab cakes. Both were excellent. The crab cakes were served with what husband said was fantastic risotto and a corn-bean-pepper medley. My shrimp was served with good fries but I spent my time on the excellent shrimp and slaw. Service was good and the atmosphere pleasant. Only ding was they did not have baked potatoes.
