2. Southern Sweets Ice Cream Parlor & Sandwich Shop
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 181 reviews
Southern Sweets Ice Cream Parlor & Sandwich Shop is a hidden treasure in the downtown Beaufort Historic area. Not a place you want to miss when visiting Beaufort. Located in the Old Bay Marketplace (behind Lulu Burgess). Step back into the 50's with all your ice cream favorites. The full sandwich menu offers some southern classics that are sure to please. The hot dog menu is so much fun with an Elvis dog, Cha Cha dog, and Reuben dog, just to name a few. Ice Cream comes from a family owned dairy (cannot be bought in a store). Everything about Southern Sweets is simply "Southern Sweets!"

Mid-week in a slow month -- wife spending money next store. Felt if she could spend money on trinkets, then I could have a little ice cream. Wonderful taste, great selection and two very pleasant women who explained how theirs excelled -- they were right! Make the time when in Beaufort to stop by and enjoy.

6. Moondoggies Cafe & Grill

With friends visiting for a few days who had not been in the area before, we wanted to share a bit of the local flavor with them before touring around and decided Moondoggies was the place to go. We had been there a few times before and it was so good. The crab cakes are really "crabby" and not full of breadcrumbs, and their hushpuppies are worth the drive to Port Royal. Their Cesar salad is one of the best in the area. Just a very pleasant experience all the way around. A very pleasant atmosphere and great service rounded out a very nice lunch date with friends.

Unassuming storefront location in a working class neighborhood, but without a doubt the best food experience we encountered during our four-day stay in Beaufort. Great food and service. The best she-crab soup we have ever had, anywhere, period.

I enjoy the vegetables and sides as much as the pork, hash and ribs. There's something for everyone and you won't leave hungry. I think the one run by the cousin in New Ellenton, SC has more vegetable choices and they always have the delicious squash casserole.

This is a delightful, small restaurant.
The owner, Lorett, is cordial and welcoming and is a great chef.
Service by Carol was very attentive and efficient and pleasant.
The French onion soup was wonderful, as were the mussels and escargot.
Our entrees were crab cakes, Cod fish and the pasta dish. Everyone enjoyed their selections.
They have a complete bar and good wines. No room for dessert so can’t comment.
Unfortunately they have no cappuccino machine!
This is a real gem. Try it. Watch the hours and days they are open and be sure to reserve.

Our first visit to Beaufort, we happened upon City Java & News. The young lady behind the counter was friendly and made good recommendations. I had a hot chocolate, and my only complaint was that it could have been richer, but it was still very good. Parking at the door, magazines available, some comfortable places to sit. A very pleasant experience.
