We stopped for a lunch at the peer and were pleasantly surprised. Sarah P was an excellent server with friendly spot on service. We had the nachos as an appetizer and they were some of best nachos we have had. Lunch was shrimp tacos and a fried flounder sandwich. Meal was excellent view was excellent and service from Sarah was excellent. If you are in the area this is a great stopping point for lunch.

I got the blackened chicken tacos w/ sweet potato fries. I’m always a sucker for sweet potato fries when they’re on a menu. The service was fabulous, and can’t beat the vibes of good food with a beach view.

5 Stars! The Pier at Folly Beach absolutely delivered! The food was top notch — fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. The staff was incredibly friendly and on point the entire time, making the experience even better. And you just can’t beat that view — absolutely stunning! Prices were reasonable too, which was a nice surprise. We would (and definitely will) be back again. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Folly Beach!

Eating outside was so beautiful. Light wind. Umbrella cover. Excellent seafood. Loved the fish and shrimp.

Great food! The salad I got made me full and the crab soup my fiance got had a good amount of crab meat in every bite! The pick and peel shrimp was alright, I’ve had better and I’ve had worse. Our waitress was awesome and friendly. The place is very picturesque and offers both indoor and outdoor seating.

I can't speak for the food, but the cocktails are great! Especially the frozen and specialty cocktails. I don't often splurge on the high-cal drinks. These are worth the calorie treat Take a seat at the outside bar for the ocean view & breeze

Food was fabulous! We had chicken fingers, turkey club wrap, French fries, and Pier salad add chicken. I do not know how they season that chicken breast, but it was sooo good! Definitely had cilantro and maybe lemon and pepper. The strawberry margarita was okay. Could have used a bit more strawberry puree. There was also live entertainment. He had not started singing before we left, but the seagull was a great opening act.

This review is purely regarding the pier bar outside the restaurant. Seating comes with a beautiful view. The staff is friendly and welcoming, also. Booze bottles are all cooking in the sun, which I've never seen before but the drinks were great. Miles of Atlantic ocean sights from the bar. Great people watching and socializing with fellow travelers and locals. Chill vibes. Unassuming. A bit spendy at about 15 a cocktail but at the same time it's reasonable for a touristy area with these views. They offer a full menu outside. Frozen drinks are great. Mixed drinks are fabulous. And they have a full outside bar. Bar seating has both shaded and sun-filled seating.
