My family enjoyed their panini- seafood and steak. I was not too lucky with the chicken Marsala. It was dry and the garlic mashed potatoes had no garlic and were the equivalent of TV dinner potatoes. Caesar Salad was drenched in dressing, ask for it on the side. If you like sweet seafood you might like the calamari- it is really sweet with the almond crust. Service was ok- waitress was nice, front check in were not friendly.

This place was lovely in all aspects - flooring, furniture, walls, oven, and art. The pizza was good too. Beer selection was limited and there were no local beers on the list (even though the Beaufort area has some great breweries). White wine selection and prices were reasonable. Red wines were over-priced. The service was "okay."I was on crutches and slipped on the way to the table because of rain water on the floor near the doorway. The host noticed but was unconcerned and gave no help in getting seated and finding a place for my crutches. The waitress was likewise indifferent. No southern pleasantries or common courtesies by anyone we encountered. They seemed to be just escorting bodies through without treating them like people. My final comment is on the menu. Every pizza with protein (with the exception of possibly one) had pork. One of the people in my party was Jewish, so that limited the pizza selection to 2 choices: margarita or mushroom. If you are a kosher-observing Jew, I suggest reviewing the menu before going.

First off, we were greeted with a smile and some humor and immediately felt welcome! Julie was our bartender/server and she was all the things youâre looking for. Knowledgeable and funny and her recommendations were spot on. Conversation was light, funny and timed right food came out hot, and very fast. Beer is ice cold! Portions were huge and you wonât leave hungry! Would highly recommend to anyone with a mouth! Food was awesome!

We walked up the long pier after a day on the water seeking a cold beer and a decent burger. What we found was disappointment in every category. First the outside seating was dirty. The wait/bus staff apparently do not care what the place looks like and the health department has not been there in a while. My partner ordered a burger and paid extra for French fries which were a disgrace. The burger, obviously frozen, was over done and dry. I ordered a taco salad which would have been satisfactory had the contents been hot. The waitress was on her first day so getting answers to questions was understandably difficult. But how difficult is it to have a list of available beers? Smokers and patrons with dogs peopled the outside tables. The inside is dreary. I would suggest finding an alternative choice of a place to eat.

After visiting this âtavernâ I read some of the reviews about the poor service. I completely disagree. You actually must have service for it to be poor. There is no service here. We walked in and sat at a table in the middle of the place in clear view of the front desk, the bar, and actually everyone in the place. Five minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes. We couldnât even get eye contact with anyone. We saw no one. Oh but wait, when we left there were two other staff members talking to themselves at the front door. While we canât comment on the food, we can comment on the overall environment. Everything about it looks thrown together and cheap. One of those places that literally can pack up and be gone in an hour. I agree with another reviewer who said it was dirty and dull. If thatâs cool with you, go enjoy. But you have been duly warned.

We live in Beaufort and give Wren a try every couple of years hoping they will get it together, but I just don't think it will ever happen. It's like a restaurant in the Atlanta airport - it stays in business because of people passing through (tourists). It they had to depend on locals, it would have closed years ago. Today's twisted caesar salad had cabbage in it - now that's quite a twist, and I have a hard time understanding how anyone could think cabbage belongs in a caesar. I doubt it was "artistic license" on the part of the chef; more likely, just some slacker tossing whatever green stuff they could find in the bowl. The only thing caesar about that salad was the dressing. My dining companion's fish and chips would be more appropriately named breading and chips. Another's chicken sandwich was just OK. I think we are truly done there. Beaufort has too many other choices now. Chik Fil A beats Wren by a mile in terms of food, service, absolutely everything! Next time, we will go there and save a ton of money and have a really good lunch.

This is such a delicious restaurant, with great atmosphere, and even greater service. We had the crab cakes, fried shrimp, pasta, and fried oysters, and of course hush puppies. We eat seafood all the time since we are from Charleston SC, and everyone in our group agreed that this restaurant has some of the best seafood we have ever had. Our server was excellent. Prices are very reasonable. Can't wait to go back!!

While we were waiting for my nephew's graduation on the island, we decided to stop here for dinner. It was good! The burgers were all a bit overcooked, but delicious. The list of toppings and such was unmatched as far as anything I've seen before. Their suggestions were great too. I only wish we had room for a milkshake because those looked awesome! Our server Josh was really great too. Nice personality, easy to talk to, and fairly knowledgeable for only being there a short time.If I find myself in S. Carolina again, I'll be back.
