    BETTIE JANE-S CRAB CAKES
    Sam M.

    This was the perfect spot for our bachelorette dinner on night one! We started with the hush puppies, and wow... that honey butter was a GAME CHANGER! I could've eaten a whole serving of it on its own, though I probably would've been stuffed since each serving comes with 8. For my main, I went with the crab cake, which did not disappoint! It had a nice kick of spice that worked perfectly with the sweetness of the crab, undeniably good. Perfect for a quick satisfying dinner! Sad we didn't get the chance to sit on the patio, but it looked beautiful and we're already planning a return trip to enjoy it

    Islander 71 was a great experience! Come for the views, stay for the food! Everything was delicious here. We had a large party and they were very accommodating. They even had a booster seat for my nephew which was great! Service was spectacular. The dock itself is gorgeous. Do yourself a favor and check this place out on your next date night!

    The view

    My boyfriend and I went for dinner and views after a recommendation from our friend that lived in Charleston for a few years. The service was amazing and our sever explained everything on the specials menu in great detail. We started with a half dozen oysters which were amazing, and then we both got a halibut which was a recommendation from our server as well! I recommend the rooftop seating because the views are so nice!!! A great experience all together!

    What a great place to spend the day on Isle of Palms. We loved Islander 71 so much that we went twice in one week. There is a huge outdoor area with plenty of space to play cornhole, listen to music or just enjoy the view of the marina. Service was great both times. Super friendly and accommodating. Food was good! The crab cake was delicious and a really good portion size. Loved the fries. I also got their shrimp and fish dish... Can't remember the name of the fish but man, if you get it blackened, it is incredible! Pretzel came out cold so that was not a favorite the table. But everyone seemed to enjoy the hush puppies.

    FLOUNDER grilled

    Great location with an awesome outside eating area. Plenty of space for kids to play and for everyone to listen to music. You are right on the dock which allows for boat watching. The food was very good. The grilled flounder was crispy and full of flavor. The shrimp was huge and was plenty to fill you up. The side salad had the perfect vinaigrette. Our service did awesome with our large party. He worked extra hard to make sure we always had refills and checked on us continuously. The She Crab fries were creamy and crispy. Definitely something to try!

    Came here with my husband for dinner on a saturday. We got sat right away, upstairs on the top floor. The views are amazing. You can see the canal and boats passing by. Server came over quick with drinks. I got the fried flounder platter and my husband got a flounder sandwich. The flounder platter was huge, 2 large pieces of flaky and delicious flounder. Side of fries and coleslaw. The tarter sauce was delicious and the server brought extra over and remembered when I asked. My husband said his sandwich had a lot of flounder and was delicious. The views are what you really go for though. So beautiful, just might take you a few drives around the parking lot to find a spot.

    Highly recommended if you would want local comfort food! Fantastic staff! Very friendly! The ambience was amazing.

    Best Mac and cheese of the trip!
    Maria-Elena T.

    The five os is played musical chairs at first. The tables outside were too close together. So we moved inside. I got the special soft shell crab sandwich for $30. It came with fries but I also got the side of Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was death row worthy. A total hit! I will dream of it! The soft shell crab sandwich was very tasty- loved the homemade corn romalaude on it. But the crab itself was cold. I later had other soft shell crab sandwiches and they too had the crab cold. Must be a thing here. I recall them warm when I got them in Maryland. Dirty dishes sat a really long time on the table. This was the best lunch of the trip. I would return.

    BETTIE JANE-S CRAB CAKES

    This was an all around awesome experience. Our waitress was super sweet and charming. The vibes at this place are great with marina views and nice big patio as well as interior. My large family of 8 was sat right away and we received great service. We started with the pretzel and some hush puppies, both of which were awesome. My husband and I split the fried combo platter of shrimp and flounder and the catch of the day. These were both absolutely delicious. Everyone loved their meal and I would definitely recommend this tasty and cute spot

    Shrimp

    Islander 71 didn't disappoint. We liked it so much we went 2x's during our families visit. The food was fast and everyone was happy. I mean, look at this shrimp dish! Water front dining

    We had a very sweet server here and the atmosphere was great;right on the water. There is an outside bar/seating/yard game area and an inside restaurant. I had a very nice mojito, hush puppies (which were delicious and crispy on the outside) and crab cakes (two giant crab cakes that had no fillers). The crab cakes came with very tasty mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables and a good remolaude. All was great. My husband had the mahi mahi catch of the day, and the kids had shrimp and grits and kids chicken fingers. Everyone loved their meals.

    Lobster Roll
    Emmin M.

    Yep. I'm giving it a 5 star. Here's why: - music outside was phenomenal. Dude named Hans Wetzel. - Service was great - Food was equally terrific I had a lobster roll. My son had a ribeye steak. My daughter had the crab soup. The big pretzel was an appetizer. Super good. Check it out.

    Any brunch menu on weekends?

    We have weekend brunch specials at this time. Thanks!

    I'm looking for just plain local fresh peel n eat shrimp but don't see it on their menu? any chance the bar has them?

    I don't see peel n eat shrimp anywhere on their menus. Even the outside bar.

    Do they take reservations?

    Yes and I highly recommend it. We were happily able to grab a spot, but they were jam packed , and for good reason! The food was delicious!

    After an incredible lunch at nearby Obstinate Daughter, my friends and I were walking around…read moreSullivan's Island when we were going to get drinks at Home Team BBQ but it was absolutely packed. Their long wait ended up working in my favor because I convinced everyone to pop into The Longboard instead for a Painkiller... or two. In 2018, I visited The Longboard on St. John in the US Virgin Islands and I've seriously been dreaming about their Painkillers ever since. Naturally, I was thrilled to learn there was a sister restaurant on Sullivan's Island. We grabbed seats at the bar, enjoyed the tropical vibes, and ordered exactly what I had been dreaming of for so long. My friend opted for a Painkiller with a floater while I stuck with the classic version. Both were fantastic and instantly transported me back to the Caribbean. We also ordered a half dozen of the daily oysters. They took a little longer than expected to arrive, but when we asked about them, the manager couldn't have been kinder. He immediately brought them out and insisted on taking them off our bill altogether. Completely unnecessary but a thoughtful gesture and great example of excellent customer service. Our bartender, Caleb, was also a delight!!! He was friendly and helped make our visit enjoyable. Honestly, I only wish we hadn't just stuffed ourselves at Obstinate Daughter because I absolutely would have ordered more food here. The poke bowls looked incredible (as did the entire menu if I'm being honest). Whether it's Sullivan's Island or St. John, consider me a worldwide Longboard fan. Here's hoping there are many more Painkillers in my future.

    Due to it being summer, I wasn't sure if we would need a reservation for lunch or not, so I made…read moreone - just in case. We got there, had to a wait a couple of minutes to be seated. The space is cute, nice decor/vibe. Our server was friendly and service was quick. I tried the frozen painkiller, which was delicious. Calamari appetizer was crispy and I really enjoyed the aioli that came with it - it added a nice, light flavor. I ordered the Sullivan's sushi wrap, which included spicy tuna, avocado, crispy shallot, sesame, teriyaki sauce and a spicy aioli. They did not skimp on the sauce, which I love because it adds a nice, flavorful punch. The tuna was fresh and tasty. Not sure what the wrap was made of - not sure it added much in terms of flavor - but it made it into something handheld, which thankfully is better than some of the "sushi burritos" I have had before. Overall, it was fresh and tasty. Definitely a good option if you're in the area.

    Oof. For such a beautiful resort, the service here was seriously disappointing (except you Sydney!…read moreYou're great!) and the food was mediocre at best. We visited over the summer and were told to seat ourselves. We picked a central table in the upper pavilion near the bar and waited... and waited. No server came. We stood up looking around, clearly confused, made eye contact with multiple staff members, and still no one offered help or took ownership of the table. We went up to the bar (twice) to ask if someone would come over. Each time we were told yes. No one ever did. Eventually, I flagged down a server named Jared, who was surprised we hadn't been helped and did jump into action. Unfortunately, the issues didn't end there. My poke bowl arrived without poke. The menu lists a "choice of crispy or raw tofu,". When I asked if it was included while ordering, I was told yes. Turns out it's actually a *substitution* for the tuna, not an add-on. He was able to bring a side of tuna, but the menu wording is definitely misleading. Unless this is a new menu item, which it could be, I have to believe this is a known issue. Although the communication amongst staff was poor, so maybe management doesn't know? The bright spot of the whole experience was Sydney, a bartender we met on our second day. She clearly knew what she was doing. She handled a mistake made by the kitchen with total professionalism and acted more like a manager than anyone else we encountered. We were really grateful for her and ended up stopping by this bar a few times during our stay, hoping things would improve, but the service was consistently unorganized so we wouldn't stop by unless we saw Sydney there. Food wise, we tried various apps and entrees during our stay but nothing stood out. It's a shame, because the setting is gorgeous but the staff training and communication need work.

    This place doesn't even try to have halfway decent food. Ordered the Caesar salad with grilled…read morechicken and had a few burnt chicken pieces just put into some lettuce. There's a difference between overpriced and ripoff and this is just a ripoff. We get it that it's a resort and we don't have many options around but they suck and just taking advantage be at this point.
