Staff was incredibly friendly and efficient. I have food allergies and the waitress was very accommodating and knew exactly what items on the menu I could have based on my allergy. Food was very good. Three of us got the mahi rice bowl and its unique fresh flavor was phenomenal. A shrimp basket and catch of the day which was salmon was also ordered and both were very tasty! I would definitely recommend and go back! read more

The live music outside was very loud so we opted to sit inside - it could use a good deep clean. Service was slow- but it seemed they only had two girls running around and doing the best they could both inside and out. The sweet potato fries were worth the extra money. I had the crab grilled cheese- over all it was okay but the crab was freezing cold in the middle. Husbands fried basket only came with one piece of fish and was not worth the extra $13 to make it a double basket. There are definitely better places to eat on folly read more

A great local bar with friendly staff and good music. The performer was awesome! The food and drink prices were reasonable. The chicken nachos, delicious and such a huge portion size. There are accessible restrooms inside the restaurant and there is street parking available. read more

The food was amazing and quick! The staff was very friendly and good energy all around, we went on a Wednesday afternoon and the band was great. The crab soup was amazing, kind of a lobster bisque type of flavor and very fresh. The lobster roll was amazing! The lobster tasted very fresh and the parsley and butter combination worked well. The roll was toasted to perfection. If you get anything from this menu, I highly recommend the lobster roll. The portion sizes were also great. The calamari wasn't anything crazy, breading was kinda falling off of it. The 1 lb peel n eat shrimp was also very good. The sand between my toes drink was also delicious. The location is great walking distance from the folly pier. 10/10 I recommend! read more

The lobster roll and fried shrimp basket were a delicious bite to eat after a nice beach day. Service was slow at first but we believe it's because there was maybe 1 or 2 servers the day we went. Perfect sun covered balcony to enjoy the breeze without blaring hot sun. read more

Food was solid and came out hot and fast. The sweet potato fries and covered in sugar if that's your thing. Staff is friendly and quick to seat you and take orders. The burger and crab cake sandwich were the winners at the table. Drinks are reasonably priced and there are bands that play there often ! read more

The Washout - Beautiful sunset on the patio. - American Near Me - Folly Beach, South Carolina

Accurately named establishment. The drinks were premium-priced but not good. We stuck to drinks only, because one look around at the general state of cleanliness and our appetite quietly excused itself. When your dining room convinces customers not to order food, that's a business strategy I've never seen before. The name says it all. Walk past, keep walking, and go literally anywhere else on Folly. read more

I came here on Sunday around 8pm. I wanted a lobster roll and some wings and saw this place had both on their menu so it was a no brainer. It was relatively quiet and not busy but I didn't mind that after having hopped around to a couple spots the previous night. I sat at the bar and ordered a glass of wine to start. It was nice and chilled to a crisp which is how I love it. The wings were good, plenty of meat, and a good heat to the sauce. The lobster roll was delicious too; a hearty portion of lobster and I even enjoyed the fries which I don't normally eat. I had a good conversation with a couple other patrons too so that made the meal really nice too. For a nice, no frills spot, this is a solid place to visit. read more

Great music poo service didn't bother to eat here as waitress took too long. Market was pleasant to walk around - bought some paintings

Finally got to eat dinner at the washout. Male server was very efficient and polite. Food was good. Classic seafood dishes and regular dinner food like cheeseburgers. I always try fried flounder if a place has it fresh. Single version of fried flounder, perfectly coated and cooked. Loved it didn't need hot sauce or tarter sauce, just a squirt of lemon. cheesy grits as the side was a great choice. Spicy tuna wrap has a kick, and sauteed veggies were fresh and not overcooked. Fries were like McDonald's string fries but with a little seasoning. Live music this night had a Motown sound.. read more

Really enjoyed eating here! The food was tasty, the portions were good, and everything came out fresh. The staff was friendly and made us feel welcome. It took a little longer than expected to get our food, but it was worth the wait. Overall, a great spot with a nice atmosphere, and I'd definitely come back. Solid 4 stars! read more

Mixed thoughts on the Washout. I like the vibe and live music. The food was a bit underwhelming. I ordered fried fish and it didn't taste fresh... that "fishy" taste just wasn't appealing. We ordered nachos and they were good. Beer was cold. Service was attentive. I think this place has the potential to be great, but they need to elevate the quality of the food. read more

The Washout - Small shrimp basket, perfect size for hot weather - American Near Me - Folly Beach, South Carolina

Visiting Folly for our annual pilgrimage to see the Krushtones, and once again it was a grand time. (April 19 and 20th) We have ate at just about everywhere on this beach island community. It was early afternoon and needed to get some lunch and wanted to sit outside to observe the foot traffic on the main street. We were across the street and saw this place, we both said at the same time "is that new place". Not been there yet. They had outside seating as well as indoor, perfect. Took a seat at the bar, it wasn't busy at this time. It really fills up in the evening. As I sat I could see in the cooler they served Miller High Life, wow not had one of those in a while, we both had those. I checked out the menu a wanted something light, ordered the chicken czar wrap. She asked me if I wanted grilled, I said sure not knowing what they were about to do. When it arrived I could see it was put on a flat top and grill sealed, dang that is how wraps should all be done. The only ding would the fries. These were like Checkers with a coating. Be nice if would serve the regular too. My wife had the appetizer czar salad and was just as good. The rest of the time we had Miller High Life...when in Folly be sure to checkout the Washout...Peace. read more

The washout?! The only thing they did right was calling this establishment its true name.The worst meal I have ever had. How da hell u still in business? Only god knows. I had the burger and fries she had da flounder. The burger taste nasty. And who da hell eats breaded fries. It was disgusting. The best thing about my burger was the onion on it. The flounder was "fishy " as hell like they had it sitting out forever. You like the food? That's because u have the palate of a Klingon.I'm going to write to Lindsay and Tim to shut u guys down. read more

Best lobster grilled cheese ever!! Do yourself a favor and grab one!! Stay for the live music!!

Stumbled in on a Thursday afternoon to this place while originally on our way somewhere else. Glad we did because everything was great! We ordered the shrimp plate which was large enough for us to share. It was scorching outside and they gave us refreshing ice cold drinks that cooled us down! This place is low key and relaxed just like Foley Beach and everything was delicious ! Would definitely return! The shrimp was fantastic read more

The margaritas were cold and tasty, the shrimp was huge and well prepared, fries were good. The Tartar sauce was exceptional and coleslaw was perfect. We arrived straight off the beach, sandy, wet, and hot. We sat on the covered outdoor porch and enjoyed a wonderful lunch with our grandson - this place ticked all the boxes for a beach day!!! read more

My husband called in for a to go order and was told it was going to be 20 minutes. He walked over there after 20 minutes and waited an additional 25 minutes on our food. They weren't even that busy. We got the calamari and the fried oysters with fries. It's a 3 min walk back to our airbnb from the restaurant. The calamari is not worth the price. Tiny pieces and the breading wasn't crispy at all. The fried oysters were ok but the fries were tasteless and soggy. There are much better seafood around the area than this place. read more

The live reggae music on the Sunday night I went pulled me in. Sat at the bar and enjoyed several rum and cokes before ordering fish tacos. They came out quickly and looked amazing. They tasted just as good as they looked. While enjoying the drinks and good music, I met the woman who is now the love of my life. 10/10! read more

The lobster grilled cheese is fantastic. Even more lobster than expected, and for a great price. Good vibe all in all would recommend.

The service was good- server was attentive and on top of things but I hate to say this that the food really wasn't good at all. We had the tacos and a few beers. The ambiance is fine but I expected more. read more

Fun atmosphere for drinks! We sat at the bar and enjoyed the live music. Our bartender, Mike, was a cool guy that kept the drinks coming and was fun to chat with. I can't speak to the food because we didn't eat here, but I would definitely come back to hear some live music. read more

First of all I absolutely love the vibe of this place it is so decorative with all this beach memorabilia and such. Everything was just perfect for a nice sunny beach day. I got the fried flounder (comes with fries+coleslaw) Loved the flounder however it was pretty heavily breaded for such a thin fish but the fries and coleslaw were very good. However I think the best thing here was the service, Our waitress was totally chill and made sure that we were having a comfortable experience. However this is the cherry on top, I forgot my hat inside of the restaurant on the table and I left and was walking down the street and our waitress rushed over and returned the hat to me. A little tip, There is a super cool farmers market behind the restaurant starting at 5pm on Thursdays. Would definitely recommend going to the market and restaurant! read more

Tried this place out while we were staying in Folly Beach over the holidays. The service was friendly and helpful but food was only so-so. I had a lobster roll, which was good, but not great. The lobster was a little extra on the rubbery side, though it tasted good. The fries were also good, but pretty fun of the mill. My biggest mistake came in ordering the Smoked Paloma. I love palomas and drink that nearly everywhere I go, but this one was absolutely terrible. I'm not sure what they're using to make it "smoked" but it tasted like I was drinking straight liquid smoke. I had everyone in my party try it, working to convince myself that it just wasn't to my liking, but they confirmed my opinion that it was awful. Overall, The Washout had pros and cons. Good location, fair prices, mediocre food. read more

The Washout is right across from the sand on Folly Beach. Great little spot for some seafood or comfort foods. We ordered buffalo wings, fried fish, and a tuna wrap. The food was very good, especially the tartar sauce they make. It has a kick! You can sit outside at nice picnic tables or inside, both are clean and great options. The food was great and our overall experience was enjoyable. We also had a friendly server and food came out quickly! I would definitely recommend The Washout on Folly Beach. read more

Food was the best fried seafood I had on Folly Beach, but the band was ungodly loud. I like reggae as much as the next person, but so loud I couldn't talk with the folks at my table. read more

Where do I start? We decided to check out the washout because music drew us in and menu featured flounder sandwiches, which is what we were looking for. Ambience was great but food choices limited. No flounder, scallops, oysters, calamari or she crab soup! Everything I considered to order!! Ordered a salad and no ranch dressing! By this time, appetite is dwindling. Good luck if you stop by because there's a good chance that you may Not get a meal. read more

The Washout has a very cool vibe on the outside area but we had to sat on the inside and was pretty slow service. The best thing on their menu was the She Crab Soup!! So yummy! The shrimp tacos were pretty average. Our waitress was very nice but not very attentive. This is my second time visiting Folly beach and there are just better options. read more

The Washout - Grilled Shrimp Tacos - American Near Me - Folly Beach, South Carolina

First night at Folly, and this was a bust for us. First, we ordered calamari- they were out. Same with the tuna. And the shrimp and grits. So I ordered a lobster roll. Five minutes later server comes back- out of lobster too. So I got the fried oysters, which are not in season so probably not fresh, and were small -- and few.. The music is much too loud to engage in conversation, maybe that's not a negative for some but I found it unpleasantly loud. My husband enjoyed the grilled shrimp tacos. It's hard to give a good review when they were out of everything. read more

What a pleasant surprise. Friends suggested going here because none of us had been before. It doesn't look particularly appealing, but all of our meals were fantastic.

The food was really delicious, the service was ok, I had to get up and ask her to return to the table to place our order, she was busy hanging out with the bartender.
