    Biscuit and Gravy with bacon, sliced tomatoes and home fries

    On our way back home we dashed into the best local restaurant in McClellanville. The outside may not look trendy but there's a reason for that. This is down home cooking and comfort. Everyone knows everyone. The regulars don't even have to order because the cook is already working on it. If they don't know you they still treat you like a regular. The service is top notch and some of the sweetest people. Next time I am passing through I will stop again. The biscuits and gravy is well worth the trip. So check it out, you won't be sorry.

    Stopped by for breakfast yesterday after the Land Sea Market. Had not even realized they served breakfast, thought it was just lunch and Friday night dinner. I had the pancakes with bacon. My husband had the cheese omelette with bacon, potatoes and rye toast. Coffee was very good, not bitter at all. Everything was delicious. Service was great. The desserts, some made in house, looked amazing. Will be coming back to try those along with dinner, which is served are fridays only 5-8. Owner is also the chef. Cute little, local place. Had some great lunch/dinner specials listed on the board. Closed Sundays

    This place is fantastic! This diamond in the rough has wonderful country cooking and seafood. I had the She Crab Soup bowl and the chef offered me Sherry to add to it. The soup is marvelous with or without. My parents had the friend chicken and loved the batter. Also, the veggies are amazing. True country cooking. Don't miss this little place. They are super nice and the food is outstanding!

    I've driven by this tiny hole in the wall place in McClellanville for years and never took a second look. One day I noticed it on Yelp and saw the reviews so I figured I'd make it a point to head out there sometime to check it out. I was on my way up to Myrtle Beach and decided to stop in. I didn't realize but they were just about to close as I saw the hours on the door as I walked in. I asked if they were open and the woman was so pleasant and said she would definitely take us. Usually you'd get an eye roll and silverware slammed down on your table for that move but, she was genuinely happy to serve us. I was thinking more about brunch but, they serve brunch on Sundays and keep normal breakfast/lunch hours every other day. They were on their lunch menu so I opted for the flounder basket. For lunch, it was a huge portion and well worth the price. Something about the tartar sauce made it extra delicious but, I couldn't quite figure out what it was. It feels like a family run place and the service was excellent... similar to being in your friends moms kitchen for lunch. I can't wait to check out brunch here on a Sunday. Definitely worth taking the nice drive up to McClellanville for something different than your typical downtown brunch spots.

    Well, here was a hidden gem, and without the wonders of modern tech we would not have known. This place is a rustic slice out of time. Atmosphere is spot on. Friendly service, great food. Grits were just great, sausage gravy primo. They slap this food together in a granny Clampett kitchen, cast iron and all. We were there early weekday, not busy, just a couple yokels getting java and grub. Nice overall experience, will definitely go again. Prices were a bit high, but really worth it.

    First of all, the Yelp or GPS directions for here are incorrect. They are not off by much, just about a quarter mile, and the correct side of the road. The atmosphere is cheerful and homey, and everything inside is attractive and very clean. I ordered crab cakes, which came with two sides. The crab cakes were delicious--perfectly seasoned and delightfully old-school. I want to return to try the She Crab soup and mac & cheese. I highly recommend McClellanville Diner!

    Came to SoCo for a nice lunch outside on a beautiful fall day. Not real busy downtown along front…read morestreet on a Tuesday, which was perfect from all the tourist places in MB. We're greeted quickly and asked to sit outside where they have about 8 tables with some shade along Front Street. There are a lot of items on the menu at SoCo, so don't forget to look at the backside! A couple orders came out and I almost ordered one of the burgers, but I decided to try something different.. Ended up ordering the John's Island Buttermilk boneless chicken with pepper gravy and blue cheese cole slaw! Plus you also get to order one side dish! Ordered the grits and palmetto cheese as my side, but there were plenty of great options to choose from. My wife ordered the wedge salad topped with grouper, but our server wasn't sure if they had grouper available that day. So, about 15-20 minutes later, which was fine as we were enjoying our alfresco experience our meals arrived. Guess they had the grouper available. My wife loved her salad and the grouper was perfectly cooked. I was surprised at the size of the fish tbh. My wife would not hesitate to order hers again! My John's Island, was sooooo tender with a great crust and just enough pepper gravy. The chicken was still very warm and by not smothering completely the chicken with the gravy, it was still very crispy. The blue cheese slaw was good, but should have been on the side of the plate not with the chicken sitting on top of it. You kinda get confused with the pepper gravy on top and under the chicken is the blue cheese slaw. I was a little disappointed with the grits. The grits were not as warm as the chicken and I think it was in part due to the cold palmetto cheese, which I mixed with the grits. The grits were good just not the right temp imo. Overall a really good meal on a beautiful day, what more could you ask for?

    We were not quite hungry enough for lunch so we opted for a few appetizers and Bloody Marys…read more We started with an order of fried okra served with roasted red pepper bacon jam. It was delicious, but I would suggest that they serve the roasted red pepper, bacon jam more at a room, temperature and not served cold. We also ordered the fried green tomatoes. They were on top of a serving of grits. The tomatoes themselves were pretty good however, the grits did not have any flavor. I was not a fan of the sauce that was served with them. The Bloody Marys were pretty good but seemed like the mixer was watered down alittle. Great olives and okra with the Bloody Mary! Service was good!

It has been quite a while since I had gumbo (I used to work on the Mississippi Gulf Coast years ago), and their gumbo did not disappoint. The salad hit the spot, and we shared the delicious shrimps. The only thing that we flagged was the salty potato salad. Otherwise, it was an excellent experience for us to dine there. Another thing that I desire to mention is how delightful the downtown area of the city of Georgetown is maintained. Great walking environment and friendly people who speak to strangers. We will consider moving around here since we recently retired.

Little did we know we'd be blessed with more than an option or two. My cousin found Belle Isle Bistro online so that was the decision. I wanted to cry, and did put on a small scene of doing so. They could make EVERYTHING on the menu, except the fried onions, gluten free. EVERYTHING. So cousin and I ate their fried seafood platter (shrimp, flounder, crabcake, and a scallop, with cole slaw). We were stuffed to the gills, so to speak, and felt as though we'd had a memorable feast. They have a BYOB policy, so we enjoyed a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc with our meal. It's a family run business. The husband, wife, and their two grown children all received hugs, well, except for the 14 year old son, but we did thank them all and praised them for a delicious meal. We were in Ireland a few years back the last time I had fried seafood that was gluten free. Here's the thing. We enjoyed it so much that we went back the following Thursday. My cousin had the Scallop Trio 22 Seared Scallops over a Gouda Grit Cake, Coconut Rice Cake & Creamy Gouda Grits, with Crispy Brussel Sprouts. I had fried oysters, fries, and cole slaw. It has been so long ago that I enjoyed fried oysters. Happy customers?! You bet! My cousin is coming back to the area in 5 days with a group of her friends. What do you bet she brings them to the Belle Isle Bistro?!
