The food was great, the view sitting outside was beautiful, and our server Kourtney was terrific! She gave us great recommendations. Glad we stopped and we will be back if in the area!! read more

Our waitress Michelle was great. Good suggestions for food. Great service and good sense of humor .

Food was excellent and that view is gorgeous. Sadly the food was so good I forgot to get any pictures of it but the salads and pizza were wonderful. It seems that from the time we ordered our food until it came out was lightning fast which was great as we had a tour we were trying to get to. Definitely give this place a try we loved it read more

Came down for dinner and decided to sit at the bar. This is a very lively restaurant, and a hot spot! I ordered a shrimp platter which was absolutely delicious and bountiful in terms of the quantity of food. Service was excellent as well. I cannot remember the name of the bartender, but she was also the manager of the restaurant, and my har goes off to her, because she was juggling multiple tasks and a bit overwhelmed, and through it all she still managed to provide me with amazing customer service. My recommendation is to hire a bartender and to let the Manager manage. Otherwise, check this spot out! Cheers! read more

Panini's on the Waterfront - Fried Shrimp Platter - Italian Near Me - Beaufort, South Carolina

We had a quick lunch out on their deck today. The setting is beautiful and on the main strip of Beaufort. I'd say the food is good. I split a cheese steak and it was good. Another of our party had a Reuben panini and wasn't all that pleased but he did eat all of it. The fries were an up buy and well worth it. The best experience was Kourtney. She was very attentive, prompt with her service and especially thoughtful and kind. My husband is 88 and at times needs support getting to the restroom. Today was one of those days. And she made sure we used the most convenient bathroom so we didn't need to use stairs and shooed the staff out of the area so we could get to the bathroom. Unfortunately many people don't "see" the elderly and fail to do the basics to support their experience. Kourtney was fantastic in this regard and we appreciated her attentiveness and kindness. read more

Came down from Charleston for dinner with a friend, be prepared to circle the block a few times looking for parking! Once inside, the hostess was lovely and got us a cute booth right away. The building used to be a bank so it has some really interesting features. The food is good but not life changing. It was more about the location (right on the waterfront) and the good service staff. read more

Panini's on the Waterfront Stopped in for lunch as we we've heard this is a cute little historic town. Walking in and being greeted by the hostess with zero social skills was not what I was hoping for. This is also known for their Waterfront view. She never even asked if we wanted to sit out there. On the menu I saw $2 side of fries. Can't go wrong there. But when the bill came, we were charged $4. The waitress said "we just changed our prices". I could only smile and say "Oh ok. Maybe you should start with that when you handed me the menu". Justin's chicken cheesesteak was terrible. It was so blah. The grilled chicken on my salad was plain. I should have ordered it with flavor I guess. The only good thing was the prices. Now I know why. #charlestonfoodie #pininisonthewarterfront read more

Last Friday my husband and I dined at Panini's and wanted to share how much we appreciated our waiter, Michele. She was incredibly friendly, prompt, and attentive throughout the meal. Her recommendations made our evening highly enjoyable. We especially enjoyed the appetizer, the view, and our fabulous waters. Michele was lovely, personable, and truly made our experience special. Please pass along our thanks -- and ask for Michele! read more

Had a great meal here on Friday with my family. We came in about an hour before closing, and the quality of the food was excellent, and the service was top-notch. Emma was our server and was incredibly attentive throughout the evening (thank you!). We had the calamari which was really tasty and I had a chicken pesto Panini that was stellar. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice meal and a beautiful location. read more

The hostess was not friendly, seemed she would rather be elsewhere. Asked to be seated outside; we were told they were not using outside. Took us to a lovely booth. Watched as unfriendly hostess took many customers outside! What gives. Linda our server was very friendly and attentive. Food was good, but not life changing. The building if self(old bank) is very interesting. read more

Food was amazing and our server Emma was on point. It certainly didn't hurt that the temperature was perfect. Highly recommend

Michelle was an exceptional server. It was our first time dining at Panini's, and she made the experience truly memorable. Her outstanding service, friendliness, and attention to detail made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend both Panini's and Michelle's excellent service. read more

Full disclosure-we were bar hopping & snacking when we came here, so I can't say I've had the full experience. We came by early on Saturday evening after polishing off some beers and hot dogs over at Hop Dog and decided to get some patio beers at Paninis. There was a short wait, where we sat at the indoor bar before our table was ready. The staff were awesome and it looked like they all enjoyed being at work, which was nice. Once we were seated at the patio with drinks in hand, I took a look at the menu, which had we been in the mood for dinner, I doubt would have disappointed. We did order some calamari, which had an almond flavor to it, which was pleasantly different. Also- it had to be without a doubt was the biggest serving of calamari I've ever seen in my life, not bad for $12! All in all, we enjoyed ourselves and are looking forward to coming for dinner sometime! read more

Panini's on the Waterfront - The bar inside the restaurant - Italian Near Me - Beaufort, South Carolina

A favorite for my family. Love the Tuscan pizza and Rosemary focaccia bread. Michele our server very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Walking up to this place, someone in passing said they are really good, try them out, you won't be disappointed. Well, we did. And we are. From the exterior it looks fine. Inside is a while different story. Shift change maybe at 3pm? It was dark tired and dirty. Our server was sweet and asked several times if we needed anything. Yes, 2 plates would be good. We only wanted a small pizza to share for mid-afternoon snack. The grill cook was mad, I guess, I tried to smile at him, but he only gave me mean glaring glances. Nope, never again. There are so many more great places to get a meal in this town. read more

Stopped by for dinner with a friend. Excellent customer service and wonderful atmosphere. We enjoyed their Carne meat pizza. The crust was thin and delightfully crispy. We decided to try the Molten Lava Cake which was fantastic and nicely displayed for us! read more

Great location on the waterfront. The drinks and paninis were great - could've done without the antipasto plate. Service was good! read more

The service was top notch. Our server, Octavia, was polite, attentive and courteous. She suggested menu options that will have use coming back for lunch. The food was delicious, I had the shrimp and scallops scampi and my wife had the clams and smoked salmon. They had this incredibly good stout called The Night Before from Westbrook Brewing Co. It was AWESOME. We sat out on the patio, so the view of the waterfront was nice. read more

Love the atmosphere here - casual but feels a little more upscale. Huge brick oven right in the dining room where they make pizza. The food came out piping hot and was pretty good. Best bite was the carne (meat pizza). The crust was thin and delightfully crispy. The house salad was just ok - a little over dressed and the croutons were flavorless. The service was excellent. Dessert was pretty good - they took a spin on a somewhat deconstructed tiramisu. read more

Great location, okay service, food was terrible. We celebrated Christmas here with my family since they could take large parties and had a little bit of something for everyone. The pizzas on the menu didn't show all the ingredients that the online menu shows. The Mediterranean pizza had no mention of anchovies and like a crap ton of mushrooms. Thankfully, the server asked about the anchovies so they didn't come on the pizza but the mushrooms, not a fan and certainly not that many! One person in our party ordered a shrimp hoagie thing, the shrimp was inedible it smelled so bad! Unfortunately, once the food was dropped off, no one asked how things were so we sat with food untouched getting cold until we just didn't care anymore. read more

Barbara and her team are the absolute best!! The drinks are amazing, and the food is next level. I love the family feel when we come in. They may not remember us but they act like it! Perfect waterfront ambiance! read more

Had lunch and dinner here. Both times service was very good. Nice seating outside. Salads were proper temperature (cold) and fresh tasting. Shrimp and grits was very good and cocktails were greats. read more

A cozy table with perfect waterfront views - a server named James who was attentive and knowledgeable- and the best Surf and Turf sandwich anywhere in the land according to the hubs. Keep up the good work! read more

I wasn't prepared to like this place since usually when you have an outdoor terrace to sit on near the water you go mainly for the atmosphere and the food is subpar I was pretty impressed with my chicken salad panini. It had nuts, chunks of apple and a really nice flavor. Plus, it was huge. I took half home with me. I'm usually not a pasta salad lover but this was probably one of my favorite pasta salads ever. It had a really intense lemon and feta sauce emulsion. No chunks of feta so don't be disappointed but the flavor was definitely there. If you're not a lover of a strong lemon and feta taste, it probably wouldn't be for you but I loved it. Just some pasta with thin slices of onion and that intense lemon flavor on a hot day outdoors it just seemed perfect. We live around Savannah so we will definitely go back again! read more

We came with a large group and no reservation. The hostess was gracious enough to seat the 8 of us at the round table. Jade was our server and did a great job!! The food and service were excellent. I ordered the River Dog IPA and the King Neptune pizza. Fantastic. Large pieces of shrimp and real crabmeat on top. Great garlic and oil base topped with mozzarella. My wife had a glass of red Cab as well as the Blanco pizza. No leftovers. I felt bad that we had such a great time, we didn't realize they close at 8:00 on Wednesday. They Panini staff was very nice and didn't even nudge us out. We were out by 8:40. We'll be back again. read more

Absolutely awful, every member of the staff we encountered were either drunk or high...then the food...I've never had a worse pizza in my entire life tried it plain...awful...threw some red peeper...plain added ranch...still sucked!!! Very sad use of money. DO NOT VISIT!!!! read more

Food was actually so bland even a mountain of red pepper flakes doesn't save the pizza. Our waitress was almost drunk it seemed like. The ambiance is like purgatory. I highly recommend people going anywhere else. read more

It's very nice. Good quality food. Relaxing atmosphere. Smells great. Amazing fantastic.

First of all, the ambiance sucks. We were a party of 8, and sat outside. There was no music, so it was so boring. Sadly, they don't allow you to move tables so we had to sit at the only big table in the corner furthest away from the marsh, so we didn't not get the view you would expect. The food was truly, aggressively, mediocre as hell. Not awful, but just so boring and flavorless. The only things I would consider good were the fries. The panini was not a panini, it was just a sandwich. It wasn't even grilled, like girl that's the whole point of a panini read more

Stopped in after book sell- I've been here a few times-- it's one of my go to spots. They have a good shrimp po- boy-- the batter they use is so good!! The fries very good- I feel like they sprinkle some kind of batter or spices on them- crispy tasty. This time I got pizza - first time( I alway get the shrimp) the Mediterranean pizza - it's on a very thin cracker like dough, a lot of garlic and onion powder I think- the small was pretty large. Now for the rest-- -- Food: I suggest fried shrimp, calamari, she crab soup ---service: the have received excellent service every time I have eaten here. --- Ambiance: casual, kind of small inside -- I think they have an upstairs but I haven't seen it used yet. The bar is at front and made of pretty wood and the pizza ovens are at back of dinning - you can see them make it. --Extras: **seating: they do have out door seating over looking the park and water- great view * *parking: their is paid street parking which fills up fast then a parking lot a block or so down street in the boat arena - you most pay here to put its $1.00 and hour and you don't pay after 7pm I think or on Sunday's- feee parking further away in side streets **Bathrooms are in basement past bar- so far they have been pretty clean **it can busy on weekends and during lunch If you are in town and like fried shrimp go check it out read more

Love the shrimp app here and great beer selection and view/location. We love paninis!

Nice. Birds are a problem on the outside deck. Food was okay, and we enjoyed our lunch.

Tourist trap. Food is mid at best. I ordered shrimp and scallop scampi and they hardly even tried to make it good. Just threw butter and garlic on poorly boiled noodles (they were stuck together). Service was fine but definitely just in business for the location read more

Whether you are going for something on their lunch menu or dinner menu it's always amazing. Great atmosphere

Can I get a 0 star option? Waited for 30 minutes nobody came to my table. Spoke to management about it and they didn't even apologize. Off to McDonald's I go. read more

Probably the best fried shrimp I've ever had! Great atmosphere and reasonably priced. Excellent service. Thank you James. We'll be back
