    Salmon
    Ken B.

    Quite possible the best meal I have had in five years. Service was fantastic and food was Devine. I had the Cajun pasta and my wife had the salmon, we started with the seared tuna appetizer. All was exceptional

    From the moment you pull into The Foolish Frog on St. Helena Island, you're immersed in the Lowcountry. The oak trees draped in Spanish moss feel like a scene from another era, where time slows down just enough to let you breathe. This place is a true gem--unpretentious, scenic, and welcoming. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, with a dog-friendly attitude that's not just tolerated but celebrated. I didn't have my dog with me this time, but it was obvious the staff genuinely loves dogs. The sunset views from the balcony are nothing short of breathtaking--absolutely worth timing your visit around. Inside, the restaurant is open, clean, and filled with a warm energy. Booths and tables are thoughtfully spaced, and from the minute you walk in, the staff makes you feel like you belong. They're attentive, friendly, and genuinely happy to be there, which goes a long way in setting the tone. There's a full bar with a great selection, so whether you're in the mood for a cocktail, a cold beer, or a glass of wine, they've got you covered. And when it comes to food--this is where The Foolish Frog really shines. I had the seafood platter with shrimp, oysters, and flounder, all fried to absolute perfection. Crispy, flavorful, and not the least bit greasy. Every bite made it clear this place knows how to do seafood right. One standout item that absolutely deserves its own mention is the Coquilles Saint-Jacques. You rarely see this dish on menus anymore, and certainly not executed this well. Made with large, tender scallops and topped with freshly grated Parmesan, it was rich, elegant, and perfectly balanced. It's one of those dishes that lingers in your mind long after the meal is over. Everything here is scratch-made, from the sauces to the salad dressings, and you can taste the difference. The care and craft behind the food come through in every bite. The Foolish Frog isn't just a restaurant--it's an experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, it's the kind of place that stays with you and keeps calling you back.

    Hire new workers and keep the wife out of there. As a first time customer I was treated rudely and very UNPROFESSIONAL!! Even the waitress and her daughter were rude and unprofessional Location is great

    Key lime pie
    Stephanie B.

    We have passed by this restaurant for over a year on our way to Hunting Island so today we decided to try it - Food we ordered: Salad with blackened Mahi, Shrimp Basket, Key Lime Pie, Pecan Pie and unsweetened tea Good stuff: 1. It's a cool vibe-- this is was the best part to me --very Beaufort beach/Marsh-- it does sit on marsh the outdoor seating is great- awesome view. Inside is cute and eclectic. Great to seat and have drink - hang out with friends. 2. Staff was great- 2nd best thing- they were friendly. Attentive- knowledgeable, quick 3. Shrimp was good- nice flavor to batter they use, unsweetened tea is good- they fresh brew it, key lime pie is good- it is more of a cake like consistency- nice tang, pecan was well pecan - --- Not so good: Well I order the garden salad and they brought me a different salad with blue cheese or goat cheese which I don't like - so this is personal taste thing I was brought a new one but they didn't give me a new bowl and just put regular lettuce on top of old stuff so the cheese I do no like was still mixed in- for me they should have remade salad fresh and put in new bowl- but the waitress was so sweet I just didn't want to say anything else. The blackened Mahi was over cooked and the seasoning was not to my taste so I will try something else next time The Key Lime pie was great!!! Cakey, nice line tang the crust was a gram cracker style --Extra stuff to know: 1. The parking is super tight so. There is different entrance then exit so watch for that so not to block traffic 2. It is on way to Hunting Island so it's a nice spot to stop I'd you are on way there or on way back. 3. Outdoor seating is facing the marsh - it gets packed out there fast. You get a chance drop by

    Shrimp and Grits
    Keith F.

    The best shrimp and grits I've ever eaten. Every restaurant has its interpretation of what shrimp and grits is, but this is the best I've eaten in maybe 20-25 try's over 15 years.

    Tacos

    Wanted to like it. Patio seemed extra dirty. The trash can was disgusting and the fans. Service was good as we were the only ones. Ordered fish tacos. They looked great but were dry and flavorless. Regretting experiencing.

    We were lucky enough to get to the Foolish Frog before they closed down for a week! We made reservations, this place is very popular so it is recommended. We were greeted by a very pleasant hostess who said it would just be a few minutes. She sent us over to the bar as we waited. We were seated before we had a chance to order a drink because we got sidetracked by some very friendly patrons which was the beauty of being in the lower country! We ordered a cocktail which was refreshing and so yummy! The Daufuskie Dog! We placed our order- I do not care for seafood so I ordered the steak with hollandaise and a side of horseradish mash. My sister ordered the Yum Yum Ya Ya with shrimp, crawfish and sausage. We did not try the frogs legs! Her dish was an appetizer but she ate is as a meal which was plenty. My steak was very good and the mashed potatoes did not have the horseradish that I was hoping for. I completed my meal with a flourless death by chocolate dessert that was so so good! I'm truly glad I experienced the Foolish Frog! I must add that the staff was constantly moving AND cleaning! Thank you for that!

    Shrimp taco
    Jisoo B.

    WOW, now isn't this yummy? Hands down the best shrimp taco I've ever had! It was very, very, very delicious. The tasted was in my mouth for the rest of the day. I 100% recommend the baja sour cream sauce. It was soooo good. The staff was very friendly and kind to us. Only downside is that shrimp was a little bit too salty (but I like salty food) and there's not that many options for food (I went for lunch). But if you sit outside, you get to eat by the swamp... And who knows you'll meet a crocodile?

    We got the opportunity to visit Beaufort, SC and while we were here we dined at the restaurant here…read moreat the hotel we were staying. The food was amazing! We ordered a Barefoot Moscato, Fish N Chips, Fried Fish Basket and a Shrimp Quesadillas . The Fish N Chips were light with a golden touch that was very flavorful with a batch of the most mouthwatering chips! The shrimp was made to perfection and simply delicious. Omg, the Shrimp Quesadillas were filled with Sautéed peppers, onions along with a blend of cheeses. The meal was amazing! Customer service was on point and perfect. Our server Katie was fantastic. She was very polite and professional making sure that our meal was the best. The ambiance was very lit, clean and beautiful. I highly recommend visiting this location for a great meal and service if you're here in Beaufort. Ohhh, let me not forget this drink called Tequila Sunrise. This was a very fruitful vibrant splash of happy times in a glass!! This drink was so good I was loving it. Great way to end a fun filled evening!'

    I visited The Albergotti Grill several times during my stay at the Holiday Inn in Beaufort, South…read moreCarolina. I was in town working the Grand Opening for a local grocery store. My bartender name is, Ashley. She offered sincere conversation, great customer service and above all ahe makes a "Mean" drink. The bar had drink specials nighly. To my surprise one of my favorite drinks (Crown Royal) became a special cocktail during my stay. My entire stay at the hotel was successful because of the customer service that I received from the front desk attendant KaDemia, and the best bartender, Ashley! I only dined in a few times and the chicken wings were delicious. The cook will fry them hard on request!
