1. Sweetgrass Restaurant

Reviewed By Patrick S - Kansas City, Missouri
This is beautiful restaurant right on back waters with incredible sunset views. They had live jazz music indoors. We had large family group and were more than accommodating with babies to sit on porch. They helped take sunset photos and the food was incredible! Went with very picky eaters and every person down the table said one best meals in South in a long time. Well worth the trip to Dataw and escape from Fripp and drive all way to Beaufort! Check it out!

3. 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.

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.
8. MJ's Soul Food Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 118 reviews
Reviewed By Eldorsey - Towson, Maryland
On visit to Penn Center, we asked for a good place for lunch, and was told "you have to go to MJ's." The recommendation was spot on! Great fried chicken, collards, yams, sweet tea and cornbread to die for. Bread pudding and red velvet cake! Great, friendly service. Don't let outside fool you - this is a white tablecloth establishment.
9. Bella Luna

In the historic Frogmore district of St. Helena Island. Reservations not required, but suggested for large parties. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Dine in or take out. Featuring locally grown produce and locally caught seafood.
Reviewed By Gina B
I would first like to state that Bella Luna removed my review from their Facebook website which indicates to me that they only allow visitors to read positive remarks and refuse to accept responsibility concerning unfavorable experiences. I guess they are perfect & believe no one is entitled to opinions they don't agree with. Again, I haven't tried the food yet but I can say this, don't call to place an order from this place if you have any questions. Unless you want a lesson in menu form or an argumentative employee talking down to you. This woman was extremely rude and condescending. I don't necessarily believe that "the customer is always right" but I know from experience that each customer has a right to be treated with dignity & respect. Questions can be annoying but nonetheless should be answered kindly. All suggestions should at least be considered. ? Oh, and I was also informed that I wouldn't be receiving a plate with my to go order! Really! I thought it came with that....Wow! Having worked in all aspects of restaurant service as well as educated on the field of Hospitality, I know this to be not only expected but also required. I have heard the food is good here. With service like this, I guess I'll never know for sure.
