    Coot's dining tables.
    Stacy C.

    Leaves you expecting more. The building is big and front facing the ocean. You expect to walk in to a spacious restaurant and bar with arguably one of the best locations on the beach but is surprisingly not what you expect. The is a nice place for a drink and maybe a little karaoke on a good day but the majority of the building is a gift shop and the bar area and even outside seating area overlooking the beach is small. The service is not great and food options are very limited.

    Buffalo chicken wrap with fries and ranch.

    My best friend and I came to Edisto for Mother's Day. It's a very small place and there's not a whole lot to do there. We were down at the beach picking up seashells and decided we would try this place. You have to walk through a giant gift shop to get to the actual restaurant. We bought some stuff in the gift shop and used Apple Pay. Then we went on into Coots. It's a typical beach bar but very small. We sat down and waited for a while and no one ever came to take our order so my friend got up and asked the bartender if we could get some menus. Then she said she would have a waiter come over and take our order. A guy finally came and we ordered waters with lemon. He came back with two bottles of food lion brand water and little cups with ice. My friend asked if they have tapwater and he said no they only do bottled water and she asked how much it was and he said $2.50. We were not happy about that. Finally I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap with fries and also jalapeño poppers for an appetizer and my friend ordered the shrimp plate with fries. They brought out her food in a little square fry box and you couldn't even see the shrimp. It looked like it was only fries. The shrimp were so tiny it was pitiful. My friend was very disappointed. My food was better. The buffalo chicken wrap was enormous, and it was delicious. I am very picky about fries and their fries were amazing and the jalapeño poppers were too. I ended up splitting my buffalo chicken wrap with my friend because her shrimp were just gross and they were so tiny. It was ridiculous. Then our waiter disappeared forever and we were waiting there for over 30 minutes to get our check. My friend went back to the bar and asked the bartender if we could get our check and they had to go find the waiter and then he finally came back to the table. Then we told him to split the check and we have Apple Pay. He said oh I don't know where you're from but we don't take tap to pay here. We said that's funny because we just used it in the gift shop that is literally part of the building!!! And we also just bought gas using tap to pay across the street! It was actually kind of embarrassing because we had to go to my car and then dig through all of our stuff to find enough cash to pay our bill because all we is tap to pay on our phones... Needless to say we will never be back.

    Cool place that's right on the beach in Edisto. Nice view views of the ocean from the deck. The drinks that we had were the Edisto Breeze and Gentleman Smuggler. They were nice and strong for the most part. The bartender was a nice guy and got our drinks quickly. We didn't stick around for any of the food, but they have a very basic menu. Overall, I probably come back if I was in Edisto, but I'm not really a fan of the beach here so I probably won't be back.

    I can't believe they turned this bar into a gift shop. When I lived and worked here, they had dart boards and pool tables and a lot more space. Now you have to walk through the entire stupid gift shop to get to the bar in the back. When I worked here, they wouldn't let people onto the back deck because it was "unstable." I can only hope they fixed that since then, because we were definitely allowed out. The view is great, and it's a classic local spot. The bartender was nice, but the cocktails were basic. Not exactly a cocktail, spot, though, so it's hard to complain.

    This place doesn't get enough love. It's exactly what it is supposed to be to be, a dive bar. There are a lot of great things about it: - they are open later and more often then any other place, so you always have somewhere to go - their pizza is great! - their apps are good, definitely try the shrimp, we go back multiple times just for this! - they have bands!! - they have seating off the ocean!! They have fruity drinks if you are so inclined. Beer and liquor drinks are always good. Wine...meh. People don't come here for the wine, so drink at your own risk. Maybe ask if the bottle is newly opened. I had good luck my last trip. Drink and silverware seem clean-ish, I think they need a rinse agent in their dishwasher. They do tend to be busy, so don't be in a hurry. It's not called Edi-slow for a reason, and almost all of the restaurants are the same. Everyone is very nice. There is also a gift shop with lots of Edisto and Coots branded merch. We normally get matching shirts for our yearly family picture. Eat More Coot!

    Cheese pizza price - $15. This is from their Facebook. They refused to honor - said it's 19

    Absolutely one of the rudest experiences I have ever came across and I have worked in the customer service field for well over 20 years. I went online and researched their prices before ordering and their menu doesn't watch what's online. She said ("oh that's not our website. Where IS your website then? I googled and looked and saw nothing. Even now as I am writing this. I see nothing. Their Facebook lost and three other websites ALL showed the $15 - yet they charged me $19. I pointed that out and got belittled. Not only did they refuse to honor the difference, the manager belittled me because I was using discovery dollars that I was using to pay for. I wouldn't go so far as to write this review of the manager wasn't so rude and insulting. In the end $6 isn't a big deal. What IS a big deal is how. Place treats its customers - and this attitude was without a doubt insulting and disrespectful. A place like this likely gets a lot of their income from tourists and the like. I can tell you this - she has no respect whatsoever. Next time I will just get frozen pizza from food lion. It's better than the pizza served there anyway. I don't go on vacation to be insulted and I don't recommend this place to anybody - not for the food and especially not for the service.

    Specialty drinks.

    Is Tuesday trivia night family friendly?

    Depending on the age of the children and the season. Peak season and very small children, it maybe too loud. I would scope ahead just to check!

    Store feels dirty. Aisles are not wide. Produce is suspect. Never any bags for fruit. Weak…read moreselection of organic produce. No grass fed beef. Too many people shopping given sq. footage. Bathrooms are filthy and only one toilet per gender. Parking is a headache. Being that it is the only store for miles and some percent of customers are transient the mgmt must think no need as they have monopoly. Compare it to Whole Foods on 17 or Lowes Foods at Main St and see for yourself

    It's the only grocery store available at Freshfields, and most of the time it gets the job done…read morejust fine. Anyone who's stayed on either Seabrook or Kiawah Island is most likely intimately familiar with this Harris Teeter. On many visits, we've found this store to be relatively well-stocked. However, the week before Easter was definitely a busy one for this store, and they were cleaned out of a lot of their typical offerings. For example, their take-and-bake pizzas are an easy and decent dinner after a day at the beach, but to our surprise, there were none left when we stopped in around 5 PM on a Wednesday. I'm confident that this not a regular occurrence - but something to note if you're visiting during the busy season. I will echo other reviewers that mentioned narrow aisles and an interesting layout. This store is definitely on the smaller side, and can feel crowded when there's multiple people in one aisle. One way to avoid this is shopping outside of peak hours ... early in the morning our later at night. The cashiers are mostly friendly and always fast. If you come from a state with Kroger or Fry's instead of Harris Teeter, rest assured that you can still input your phone number for your shopper rewards. Another positive is that I haven't noticed a difference in prices from this store and non-touristy grocery stores. Again, it does the trick for being the only grocery store at Freshfields. However, it could certainly use a little love and a few updates.
