    Seaside restaurant right next to Folly Beach pier. Great food. Friendly service. Casual relax atmosphere. Conveniently located by beach. The shrimp sandwich I had was really tasty. I would order that again.

    Stopped at Rita's after a four‑mile "death march" masquerading as our morning walk. By the time we hit we're back at Arctic we were both starved enough to chew on a beach chair. We were sat in under a minute, and the waitress hit the table with coffee before we could pretend to study the menu. Less than ten minutes later we had our order and drinks, which is about the time my legs remembered how to work again. Food was well prepared and appropriately seasoned, the kind of breakfast that makes you briefly believe in cardio. Great breakfast on Folly Beach, where the grits are real and the tourists are optional. Highly recommended, especially if you've earned it the hard way. Beach decor and lots of televisions abound.

    Love Rita's and come every time we're in the area. Food amazing, cocktails fab and it's an all around great beach dive.

    Anytime I go to Folly Beach, stopping at Rita's is a must -- either before or after the beach. The energy inside is always fun and laid-back, and everyone is genuinely so nice every single time. The food is always so good. My go-to order is the shrimp po' boy, and their chili is surprisingly one of my favorites. You can't go wrong with a mimosa, but their signature crush cocktails are also a must-try and perfect for a Folly day. Great vibes, great food, and a spot I always look forward to visiting whenever I'm on the island.

    It was a really good breakfast. Eggs, bacon, biscuit and grits. The biscuit was tasty even if more thick than fluffy. The bacon was perfectly cooked. The grits were real ... had a very creamy consistency and good flavor. The service was fast and friendly. The location is convenient to the beach and hotels .. quick walk.

    Went here today after spending our day at the Angel Oak tree and the Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. After walking on the Folly Beach Pier we went straight into the Rita's Seaside Grille and had an early dinner. The place is really nice and the staff was welcoming and very attentive. We were really happy that they had so many choices for vegetarian food on the menu and even have marked them. We were sitting outside where they also had life music. We immediately got iced water and then our order was taken. We ordered for drinks Ginger Ale, Pina Colada, and two non alcoholic Heineken. Further we ordered the Veggie Sandwich, twice the Seafood Tacos and the Chicken Wings with fries. The Tacos came also with fries. In total we paid $110.95, which is absolutely fine. We very enjoyed our dinner and give 5 well deserved stars. Would we come again? Definitely yes.

    Shrimp and grits

    The shrimp and grits were excellent! In the heart of downtown Folly, Rita's is in a high traffic area, but worth the stop. Our kids didn't enjoy their kids meals, but to be fair, you don't go to a seafood restaurant and order Mac n cheese or a burger, right?! The shrimp and grits and the tacos were wonderful! The service was great. The whole ambiance of the place was really fun and "beachy"!

    Incredible Prickly Pickle Mary!!!

    Great location, lots of seating, diverse menu, great staff (the older gentleman in charge of our table was wonderful), and willing to accommodate food allergies. Ordered the prickly pickle Bloody Mary (delicious and well worth it!) and smoked turkey melt (minus cheese and had the onions, bread, etc, sautéed in oil instead of butter). Was such a great experience and a good blend of locals and tourists. Would definitely recommend if in the area.

    mussels
    Jordan S.

    so so so good omg!!! i got the diablo mussels and oysters on the half shell and finished it ALL not a drop was left. Everything was so good and the mussels were deliciously seasoned. I went back a second time by myself and sat at the bar to get some oysters and the bar staff was good, everyone was so nice and welcoming and the atmosphere was very beach restaurant but also nice inside. Only bad thing was my sisters order was wrong (gave her fried tenders instead of grilled) and by the time they fixed it (20+ min) we were all done with our meals. Overall i highly recommend them.

    Lived my dining experience at Rita's! Came here with a group of 7 girls and a reservation is highly recommended. The place has indoor and outdoor seating available - we saw some cute pups dining outside which is always a nice treat. Large menu and hard to choose but settled on the tomato and Burrata salad which was good; big enough to share with 2-3 people. My table chose a lot of good dishes but I settled in with the shrimp and grits dish which was excellent; great portion and filling! Our server was a little disappointing and forgot a few things and forgot to put in one of my friend's dishes which was disappointing but the overall meal was one of the better ones we had that weekend.

    Love these cool beach vibes. Cold brew coffee was incredible. The cocktail list for brunch is outstanding, the dreamsicle crush was perfect, and the shrimp and grits too notch! Great service too, great charm.

    What a fun place! Live music, super friendly staff and delish food! I sat bar side for dinner and ordered a simple margarita and the nachos. Decided on the ahi tuna for my protein and they were really great! The pineapple salsa was fresh and chunky. There was so many pieces of tuna and it was a huge portion! Just a block from the beach and the hotel I stayed at. Def recommend!

    Delicious. Great Service. Feels like it's been here forever (in a good way). Live music and space to stay and hangout
