Great food, service and drinks!! The waitress gave us great suggestions. We will definitely be back!!

The tacos are really good. Service was great. Good music playlist with a great vibe. Nice craft beer selection. Everyone seemed to love the margaritas. I'd recommend Lost Local. read more

Front end staff is very nice. It's a bit too loud in the restaurant and made it difficult to talk to the people I came with. Ahi tuna taco was amazing. Hawaiian taco was not. My son liked his Buffalo taco and my mom liked her fish taco. It's worth a visit. read more

We never got to eat...we drove around for 40 minutes trying to find a parking spot. We spent 20 plus minutes sitting at a flashing red light not moving. We gave up and went elsewhere. read more

Very nice staff. Everyone we encountered was great. Cute interior. Queso appetizer was pretty mediocre for the price. Bang bang shrimp were good, but nothing special. Our actual food - variety of tacos and salad were much better. Would prob skip apps next time and just order an extra taco. read more

A must!!! From the drinks, the food, and the service, Lost Local is a must visit! The atmosphere is very cool too! We ordered the sangarita, sangria, queso & chips, fish taco, shrimp taco, Hawaiian chicken taco, and the Deep South Gullah taco. The sangria was very flavorful, the queso & chips absolutely delicious and the Deep South Gullah taco was a bite of the south all wrapped into a taco. I will definitely be back for that taco!!! read more

Our waitress, Kennedy, was awesome. My friend got the lost taco salad with grilled chicken, and I got an island schrimp taco and a chicken mac taco. All 3 of our selections were really good and reasonably priced for what we got. I will definitele come back here every time I come out fir a visit! read more

We unfortunately can't remember our server's name. But he was incredible. Suggest wonderful cocktails and beers for us to try. We loved everyone one. Food came VERY quickly. read more

This place is amazing! The plantains were delicious and very authentic; being a Miami native and having been to Costa Rica four times I would know! The tacos are great as well! I am obsessed with the Mac Chicken taco...and the Carne Asada was equally impressive! This is definitely going to become a regular spot for nights out! read more

Loved it here - great Margarita's great tacos and friendly locals . Will return next time we visit for sure

This place is amaze balls. Get. The. Tacos. I Got pork belly taco & carnitas (yes both, don't judge me) these are gourmet tacos, each with their own garnishes to enhance the meat. I love that so much thought went into what is taken for granted by others. Great beer selection tho in cans (better rotating selection that way). And the service? Forget about it, the boys were great (sat at the bar), everything from the great suggestions, working together to make the experience easy and gud. Thanks guys! Okay i have to go take a nap now...i ate way too much haha read more

The beer selection is always changing! My husband enjoys telling the bartender to surprise him with something different and is never disappointed. We recently visited the Lost Local and were happy to find the same wonderful bartenders Eric and Jeff working there. We enjoyed visiting them twice this visit and always recommend the Lost Local to our friends and family that visit Beaufort. Stop in. The drinks are great, food is yummy and staff is wonderful. I tried the black diamond margarita and was not disappointed. read more

Food and service was perfect! I love this place! Deep south gullah,, Mahi, tuna tacos all excellent. Will go back next time we come through Beaufort. read more

Stopped in for a drink while walking down by the water. Service was great, prices were on point, and drinks were good. Didn't try the food but would definitely go back simply due to the service and atmosphere of this place. Highly recommend. read more

Good vibes, Great tacos! Eric at the bar was very friendly and attentive. Mindy Creed Ben E. Keith Foods Eat Local. Eat Often. read more

The ambiance in Lost Local is cozy + cool... loud! But, cozy + cool. I hate to sound cheesy, but as an out-of-towner I lowkey did feel like a local there-- which could just be Beaufort's vibe as a whole. I'm not gonna lie. I don't think the tacos are that great. They have so many options that sound amazing, but at the end of the day I think they're trying to do too much-- and simpler, more flavorful tacos would be better. I got the mac + cheese taco which was pretty good, and the ahi tuna taco that was severely lacking in flavor. The tuna was fresh and good quality, but the entirety of the rest of the taco was just raw veggies and nothing else to add to the tuna. My husband did not enjoy his tacos and thought they were decent, but rather bland as a whole. I got two drinks that were very yummy. It was not a horrible meal by any means, but nothing to write home about, and we would not return if we're ever back in Beaufort. read more

Drinks were great and the tacos were good. Caesar salad was not the best but overall the experience was enjoyable.

Great food, great service and great drinks! Ate there twice over a long weekend visit- can't wait to come back!

Nice location and bar, drinks are reasonable and food is brought out quickly. Can always tell when a bartender or service person is not happy, if affects the experience, especially when they put their blinders on and ignore the customer. Will pass and move on. read more

You know when I moved to Beaufort a few years back I would have praised Lost Local for days to anyone asking. As a matter of fact, I was doing that very thing and a friend gave me a gift certificate to it. Went in tonight to a completely dead crowd of many 15 people and was told "seat yourself". My husband and I sat at a four top. We were immediately told "four tops are for four people". It was quite embarrassing to be asked to move tables after we were told to seat ourselves. I turned to the bartender whom I have tipped for years and asked if they were kidding me only to be further embarrassed by his smart mouthed response. They have lost a local for sure. Hope their lack of clientele pays their bills. Went across the street to a very very busy restaurant and was seated at a .... Wait for it... four top. read more

Horrible experience, and food was not good at all. We ordered 4 different tacos, and hated all of them. There is very limited seating and we were placed at the tiniest table for two we have ever been seated at. So small you had to hold your purse in your lap and our umbrella's. (it rained most of the weekend), had to lean up against the table and kept falling into the floor at other patrons feet. Not to mention the fact you barely had room for a napkin on the table, and it was isle seating. The waitress was mediocre and though concerned with one of our drinks, never bothered to ask the other who's was near empty at the same time if they wanted a refill. She just grabbed one glass and bolted off. We tried the island shrimp taco-it was very sour, fish taco- came a second to del tacos, the Gullah taco-tasted like leftover dried pork and was very over powering, and the last was some sort of roasted beef taco the waitress suggested. It was so sour I couldn't eat it. Don't know what most people are ordering when they come, but it must not be the tacos we ordered. We come to Beaufort every year, and this is by far one of the worst restaurants we have tried. Not reasonable either at 5.99 for tiny small tacos. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. We were super excited to enjoy some tacos, but after waiting a long time for them to arrive we had to choke down the dry pork belly and fish tacos. The real problem though was with the service. I could have overlooked the dry tacos, but our drinks sat empty the entire time we were there. We had a beer and an ice tea but neither was refilled ever. This was a major problem given the dryness of the tacos. The server talked and refilled every other table but ours. We couldn't even get his attention. We are full time RVers and sample food all over the country but this one ranks as one of the worst services we have had on our journey. If I were you I would go across the street to the BBQ joint. The food is good and drinks are filled regularly. (The only other place we have tried here yet) read more

My family & I went in for dinner last night and we were so deeply disappointed. We had to wait for a table, which was fine, and once seated we were quickly attended to by a server. She was nice enough. Took our drinks & app order, as well as the kids' meals. We weren't in a rush, so we waited to order our entrees until after our apps came. It took forever for the apps to appear, the server didn't come back very frequently to refill waters/drinks, etc and she brought the wrong drink a couple of times. The apps were fine, once they arrived, and we then placed our entree order. 2 tacos for my husband & 2 tacos for myself. An HOUR & A HALF LATER - they came out. All the while, our server seemed to be avoiding our table and whenever she would come by, it was "they're coming up right now. I'm so sorry!" Umm - we were livid. We just wanted to leave. The tacos were not worth the ridiculous wait. When the server came over to check on how our food was, she said "I know it was a really long wait. So to make up for that, we'd like to offer you both a free shot of tequila!" Ummm. We're there with our kids. We have to drive home. You should have comped our entire bill. We then waited FOREVER for our check. Then she forgot to bring our credit card back. omg. It was a disaster. We were there for almost THREE HOURS. We left there irritated, and still hungry. We are locals and will not be returning, nor will we recommend this place to anyone else. read more

Pretty good! Service was great. Tacos were fresh. Neat local hangout. Will come back! read more

Lost Local - Island Shrimp taco - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Beaufort, South Carolina

Unfortunately the food was unimpressive along with dismal service and possible nepotistic treatment. Sat for quite some time prior to server coming to the table for drink orders. Once drinks were ordered it took an additional 10 minutes. Food was unimpressive and just okay. Atmosphere was nice and establishment was clean. Overheard a family of four asking for seating and was told there would be a 30 minute wait even though there were multiple tables open. Bar was completely open but the restaurant would not allow kids to sit at the bar. Funny thing was that the bartenders small kids were sitting at the bar for the entirety of our dining experience. Not a place that we believe we would return. Pretty certain the family that was not seated will not return either. read more

Fun, loud, with fantastic craft cocktails and beers with the messiest most delicious tacos! I loved it. I recommend for date night or small groups. Our server seemed new but was so bubbly and kind! 9/10 read more

This place is a 5 star review from service , food and drinks. Thanks to Eric our server who was knowledgeable in the drinks , food and establishment. Started with Conch Fritters and then ordered 3 tacos. Mac Chicken Taco, Southern Gullah Taco BBQ and Fish Tacos grilled. All good cooked to perfection and great flavor. Washed it down with some local beers. Will be back next time we visit. read more

I met a dear friend from Bluffton to have lunch. A friend of theirs suggested this place for us. It was pretty quiet when we showed up at 11 AM, so we grabbed some seats at the bar. The bartenders know how to make some mighty fine drinks! Eric had suggested a special, tequila with cucumber... not a fan of either, but when in Rome. Turns out it was tasty, refreshing and a nice start. We started with bang bang shrimp, yum! Sauce is served on the side, which I really liked. Then it was decision time on the tacos. I am going to be honest here, there are no wrong choices! I tried the pork belly and mac & chicken tacos. They are not shy on portions, so two were more than enough for me. Midway thru I ordered another drink, the bees knee, which is on their menu. Oh my goodness, I will be dreaming about that yummy concoction for awhile! Basically, it seems this spot knows drinks and tacos!! It's the little things that make life so good! Thank you Lost Local! read more

Continuing our tour around Beaufort, we stopped at Lost Local on a Thursday night. We were greeted by a friendly young lady who told us to pick a table. Once seated, we noticed that our table was dirty, within seconds and without being flagged down, our waiter, Eric was at our table and said, "before we get started tonight, let me deep clean this table" and for the rest of the evening, you couldn't have asked for a better waiter. Eric worked so hard, that my wife asked him if he was one of the owners, (he is not). Being our first visit, we asked for some recommendations. Before answering, Eric took a few minutes to ask us what we liked e.g.- blackened, fried, pork, fish, etc., and then he gave his recommendation. My wife started with a First Class Margarita, (ample amount of Tequila) by the time our Nachos and tacos arrived, she was a bit flushed. We tried four different tacos, shrimp, carnitas, beef barbacoa and fish. I preferred the barbacoa and shrimp and my wife preferred the carnitas and shrimp. The carnitas and blackened shrimp tacos were bursting with flavor. The barbacoa was very good by itself (I ate most of the barbacoa off the taco, before I ate the taco). The fish itself was good, but the filling inside the taco was kind of bland. Looking forward to a return visit to try the Boom Boom Shrimp and some other tacos. Side note; if I owned my own business, I would try to entice Eric too come work for me. read more
