Just an old-fashioned ice cream parlor. Nothing special in terms of the ice cream or the service, just an old-timey atmosphere and Ice cream for those who venture into the indoor shopping corridor. read more

Southern Sweets - Best Fried Bologna since childhood - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Beaufort, South Carolina

A Beaufort Must! Southern Sweets is a gem! Family-owned and full of charm, this old-fashioned sandwich and ice cream shop nails it with every bite. The sandwiches are loaded with premium meats (try the Southern Flair or Great Santini!) and the hot dogs are next-level--especially the Marine Dog and Southern Nights. And the ice cream? Incredible. Tons of custom flavors, sundaes, shakes, and cones--perfect for cooling off after exploring Beaufort. Friendly service, nostalgic vibe, and seriously delicious food. A perfect taste of the Lowcountry! read more

My visit was very brief. I heard that there was a fantastic banana pudding ice cream to be enjoyed. I opted for a milkshake and it was fantastic. Next time I spend some more time in the facility and enjoy my ice cream with my lovely wife. read more

Line moves extremely slowly. The snow cones were delicious. Prices are high. The Hawaiian style is made with dipping dots rather than normal ice cream which detracted from the taste and I would've liked to know that in the menu because I wouldn't have ordered it--kind of a pricey add on that wasn't good. read more

Not a good day at Southern Sweets. Short staffed with some equipment issues going on. I never got my sandwich and the tomato basil soup turned out to be spaghetti sauce. read more

Eli and Jude the workers were very nice. they deserve a very very big raise. they were funny nice and there food was good

Food is amazing service is amazing they check on you and everything ambiance is the bomb Wi-Fi included read more

Nice little diner style shop tucked away on Bay Street. The wife and I stopped in for a small, quick lunch during our first visit to the area. Of all their choices, we both got a hotdog combo. Mine, plain with yellow mustard. Hers, ketchup, mustard and crispy fried onions. We both enjoyed them but the thing that got our attention was the "snap" when taking a bite of the dog.....just as it should be. Probably the one thing that would push them over the top would be to toast the buns. The ladies waiting on us and cooking were both very friendly. We'll be back next time we're in the area. read more

The young lady behind the counter was super sweet and made us feel welcome. Ice cream was yummy and the place is adorable. We will be back. read more

Amazing!! But. Price is a bit high. I ordered the grilled cheese on croissant and the amount of melted cheese could no be beat! An included devil egg side and a hot brownie sundae with fudge ended a great lunch. If you're in the area stop and get a bite or pick one of their many ice creams to just cool off and visit beautiful waterfront Beaufort, SC. read more

Excellent service, great variety of delicious ice cream, sandwiches and hot dogs! We came back for seconds!

An old time ice cream parlor with high-top bar and some tables as well. Decor is new-wave, light colors and fluorescents and well maintained. You could relax here while eating your treat and reading a book or newspaper. Spouse ordered the ice cream and it was served quickly by helpful wait staff. Ice cream cold, flavorful and enhanced by the ambiance of the place. Would definitely bring the family next time. read more

Super friendly service and delicious food. This is what a hometown cafe should be. I had the meatball sub special, my wife had the chicken caeser wrap plus we both got side salads. Everything was very fresh and tasty, we are so glad we pulled off 95 for this special place. It looked like a lot of hometown diners and travelers like ourselves were there for lunch. We got two huge homemade cinnamon rolls to go and our waitress generously gave us to-go cups filled with delicious iced tea. Stop here when you're feeling hungry and want some authentic hometown charm with your delicious meal, you'll be glad you did. read more

Beautiful old time ice cream parlor, and the BEST ICE CREAM in Beaufort. Unbelievably reasonable prices. Sandwiches are also terrific - try the LT DAN!! Set back from Bay Street a little (inside the Old Bay Market Place) so look for the movable signs on the sidewalk. Well worth a try if you are visiting town like I was today. If I were a local, I would eat here all the time. read more

Southern Sweets - Banana Split from Southern Sweets. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Beaufort, South Carolina

I loved this store but they ripped me off, the cashier didn't fill the $3.50 ice cream cone. She only put a small scoop on the top and nothing underneath. The bottom on the cone was completely dry and when i asked if i could get another scoop, she claimed "the ice cream was too hard to get to get it to the bottom" and said she could charge us for another $3.50 scoop. I walked out blown away at what i got for $3.50. Take a look at the picture. read more

Old fashioned ice-cream parlor offering mouth watering classics like milkshakes, cone sundaes, fudge and home-made pralines! Yummy, yummy! Lana wanted ice-cream and I was hungry. Didn't want to spend lots of money on the waterfront restaurants (where food is OK but you really pay for the view - spectacular indeed). So we stopped at Southern Sweets Parlor and we loved it! As soon as we entered the place felt right at home. They have soups, sandwiches, salads and of course sweets. By far their signature dish is the DOGS! They have about 6 varieties from All American to Cha Cha Chili with more than 10 toppings choices. I got the sauerkraut dog and Lana got the kid cheese toast and the ice-cream cone...paid ~$8 for all. The cafe is located downtown right at the entrance to Marketplace shopping area. read more

We stopped in for gelato and a milk shake. The chocolate milkshake was the worst attempt at a milkshake that both if us have ever experienced. Hardly a hint of chocolate flavor - more milk than ice cream but less than chocolate milk. read more

Service was terrible. It took 25 minutes to get 2 scoops of ice cream and a shake. Servers were polite however

This ice cream shop has been here forever. Their ice cream is amazing. They also have shakes, smoothies, and sundaes. They're always fast and friendly, and still operating during covid. They have a grill with sandwiches, hot dogs, etc. Plus some refrigerated sodas and some locally made candy. read more

Yummy. I tried the vanilla (great), cookies dough, and birthday cake. They all were good and I would recommend the vanilla and cookie dough for sure! I had 2 scoops of the vanilla and birthday cake in a waffle cone. read more

For food, this place isn't great. Had quite a large order (and was the only person there). Took over 30 mins to make some hotdogs and pb & marshmallow sandwiches (all refrigerated items are on ice sitting out on the counter) and the food was not good. Chips are not included as sides. Sides for combos were a deviled egg, small potato salad, black eyed pea "salad" or coleslaw. Kids ordering a pb&j don't want a black eyed pea salad - they want chips, but OK. Tea was overly sweet (and I like sweet) and hotdogs were brown (left on roll cooker too long). Prices do not match the quality of food or service. I'm sure the ice cream is better so I'm not giving them 1 star. I'd go elsewhere for lunch. read more

Friendly service keeps this from being only one star! Had a chili dog with a "side" of potato salad! The dog was great but the chili was likely out of a Hormel can. The small ramekin of potato salad was a few chunks of undercooked new potatoes tossed in a mayo type sauce. Very bland and a tiny portion too. Place is fine for an ice cream maybe but the food doesn't measure up read more

Rate a 1 star - only because it won't let me put a zero. My son and I were sitting at one of their outside tables waiting for my wife and daughter to finish shopping. I was thumbing thru the local paper. The female worker came out and told us that we had to buy something to sit there. It was 10:45 in the morning on Christmas Eve with not a soul around. My son went in and bought a $2 bottle of water and we left. Appreciate the hospitality. Merry Christmas and we will never come back. read more

Custard is amazing! This is a great place to come if you've got a little time to dilly-dally around all the other sweets and then make a really involved decision about what to eat. I'd recommend the lemon custard or a shake, which look great. The perfect summer stop. read more

I was going to wash my hands before ordering ice cream but the lady managing was very rude and wanted to know exactly what I was going to buy before telling me where I could do that. Do not eat there. read more

Had lunch here today and it was really good. The sandwiches come with a homemade side (choices are: potato salad, cole slaw, some type of black-eyed pea salad and I can't remember the other choice). I'm always leary of potato salad in a sandwich shop because I am picky when it comes to potato salad, but I took a chance and yes it was homemade and delish! I had the BLT and it was good - 3 slices of bacon, lettuce, tomato and a flavored mayo. My hubby had pimento cheese on a croissant and he loved it. The place was extremely busy with three ladies working. They informed those of us who ordered a meal that it would be around 20 minutes. These ladies worked very hard and we're all smiles the whole time we were there. We didn't have room for ice cream, but do plan to get some tomorrow as it looked very yummy! read more

Our FAVORITE ice cream place! We stop by about once a month to enjoy the brownie Sunday and catch up with one of the girls that works there! We always have great service and conversation! read more

It's been a long time since I found an old fashioned soda shop and this one has something called a New Orleans Muffuletta sandwich and shrimp and sausage gumbo and hand-dipped milkshakes. Who could have asked for more. Except possibly less gnats on the way back to the car read more

Wish we had tried the ice cream. Hubby, mom n pop stopped for lunch. Mom and I had BLT's with red pepper mayo. Hubby and pop had grilled cheese with tomato sandwiches. They looked good but nothing special. On the up note, the employees were friendly, sweet and helpful. read more

This is a little shop in the business area of Beaufort. It has a small dining area for ice cream, hot dogs, or sandwiches. We had a sandwich that had turkey, bacon and pimento cheese. It came plain, grilled, or toasted. The grilled version was wonderful. We were only there for a light lunch, so we didn't sample the ice cream. If it is as good as the sandwich, you will enjoy it. read more

Stopped in with my clan of seven for a treat after walking the city. The sweet girls behind the counter were very patient with us while we all decided and offered us samples. The sea turtle ice cream is great! The sundaes are fun combos and the whipped cream tasted old fashioned and homemade! Cute little shop with a vintage appeal, we loved our little pit stop here! read more

I would like to have told you how sweet and delicious this ice cream is. But unfortunately, the doors were closed 15 minutes before they were supposed to be. I drove quite a distance to get there and was bitterly disappointed. It would be nice if they were actually open during their business hours read more

Yum! This place is amazing. Very different from your average ice cream place. Has a ton of flavor read more

An outstanding chocolate soda. If you haven't tried one, you must. Not too sweet, but chocolaty with lots of tasty ice cream. It's a great experience and has great cones as well. Well worth a trip to Beaufort to satisfy your sweet tooth. read more

Not to be missed, a visit to Southern Sweets has been a family tradition for 20 years. Owner even remembers our sons name and his favorite sundae! However, for my update southern sweets has been sold to another company. Very sad. read more

I lived here for 6 years and loved this shop, now when I visit,I still return, so many yummy flavors to choose from as well as shakes, sundaes, treats for fido, cup or cone, flavor of the month :) great customer service read more

Do not get the food here. I had to show the staff their own menu when I asked for a "cheese grill". It was quite gross, using American Kraft singles cheese slices and not worth the 8.75 I paid. I didn't have their ice cream but I don't think I'll go back after that. YoYos ice cream was yummy enough! read more
