Food was very good. We had the Pulled Pork sandwich with Sweet Potato fries, cups of She crab soup and my wife had an ice tea. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside and it was pleasant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Only issue was when we got the bill, everything was higher priced than what was on the menu (online and paper). We didn't make a big deal about it because the waiter appeared to be new and it's not his fault. Prices go up, we get that. It would have been different if it was one item, but everything was more. They need to fix that. read more

We got the take & bake pork enchiladas, beef stew, and sweet potato pie cheesecake for the holidays. Everything was so delicious. Went back another day to dine in; had the fried chicken sandwich and several of the oatmeal cookies which we are obsessed with. Wonderfully homemade food, casual/comfortable atmosphere and great service! read more

Third time back to the Periwinkle. Definitely a cute hidden gem with friendly accommodating staff especially the chef/cook and cashier-Lilly. They have a tables outside and a section inside. Food is very inviting and I found it very good. I was able to order ahead and get Bq pork and shea crab soup picked up at 8am to take on my journey back to Va. That is what I call great service. read more

Great place. Inside is lovely. Staff is smiling and friendly. Food was good. Great place to stop after going to the beach.

We loved the Periwinkle Kitchen..the food was delicious and the service was excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a very family-friendly choice[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. We would highly recommend! read more

40min and still no food. We walked out. No apologies from the staff. Just $10.50 for 2 coffees. Do not go here if you value your time or value. As we left others said they were waiting an hour and still without food. read more

Great service and my atmosphere for a late brunch. Alex and Tanisha were great hosts.

We reserved the side room for a birthday lunch for 10 of us, and couldn't have been happier with the food and drinks, presentation and quality! We already loved this place for breakfast and more great memories there now! read more

6 of us had a delicious breakfast today, 5/5/2025. The service was excellent and the food was fresh, hot, and scrumptious. Avocado toast was wonderful on sourdough bread. My breakfast burritos had a delectable mix of onions, potatoes, peppers , eggs & cheese. The side of fruit salad was fresh and plentiful. It was all reasonably priced. Thank you Periwinkle Kitchen read more

Closest affordable food spot off the island, so thought we would give it a try on a Sunday morning. Breakfast and lunch served all day. Arrived at 10:30 a.m. and stood in a short line, which due to I'm guessing a lack of staff or just plain inefficiency took us 30 min to make it to the register. Finally, ordered. 2 Mahi sandwiches with cheese grits, a breakfast burrito, and a breakfast sandwich arrived over 30 min later. All very tasty but due to the total cluster of an ordering experience, and an exceptionally long wait for everyone in sight, only four stars. read more

the overacheezer was so good, five stars, 10/10! [[HIGHLIGHT]]A great atmosphere, laid back with friendly staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] pre made meals and desserts in the fridge to take back home.. will be back! read more

One of the best chicken biscuits I've ever had. The cheese grits are amazing, and we loved the breakfast burrito. Long wait time on the food, but it's worth it. read more

As visitors to the area, we were pleased to find a comfortable, clean, informal family-run place for a couple of meals (breakfast and lunch). The food was fresh and individually prepared. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Their pancakes were the best I've had in quite a while. read more

PK is the perfect spot for Sunday breakfast v because you can pick up one or two of their family style meals for that weeks meal prep too! This salmon frittata was so fresh and delicious I took a take home version and had it for breakfast all week. The beef stroganoff was a hit for me and my husband, the only problem we had was choosing from all the yummy looking options. Will be back again this weekend for breakfast and to stock up for the week on meals and fresh pressed juice! read more

Exactly what we needed off Kiawah and Seabrook! Although we will always miss Kinfolk fried chicken sandwiches. We have stopped in several times from breakfast to grabbing a to-go dinner. So excited to try more of the Thai dishes. The papaya salad with shrimp was fantastic! The owners John and Kim are welcoming, friendly and so accommodating. Support local and stop by you won't be disappointed! read more

Stopped at Periwinkle earlier this week for dinner. Came back again for breakfast. It is a must stop place to visit while in the Kiawah/Johns Island area. Cute dining room. Super nice staff and owner. Many options and specialties that are different than the standard food offered around the rest of the area. Also have great coffee, fresh made juices, and dessert options with a lot of grab and go items to take and bake at home for a later meal. read more

Periwinkle Kitchen - Fried Chicken Biscuit w/ Pimiento Cheese & Hot Honey. Freaking delicious. - American Near Me - Johns Island, South Carolina

Cute spot! Have only tried the smoothies and they're great. But something to be aware of is the smoothie bar closes @ 1:30. It's not advertised and I've been a couple times in the afternoon and haven't been able to order smoothies. Would love them to extend their hours. read more

The food is by far, the best in the area! All locally sourced and beyond flavorful in every single bite. We had 4 different dishes and all of them were easily at the very top of their respectable categories. Burrata, smash burger, new flatbreads, and the Nashville chicken sandwich! Run, don't walk... we'll be back tomorrow for breakfast! Maybe we'll remember to take pics for those dishes since none of us could stop after our first bites! The owners are also super friendly and accommodating. read more

Taking my grandkids for breakfast and found this amazing establishment. My order of biscuits and gravy was very good and the coffee deserved 5 stars by itself. Very clean, very professional, charming and affordable, as well as keeping the grandkids busy so their foods must have delighted the usually hard to please. Found our server to be quite attentive and knowledgable about "things to do while in the area" and greeted us each time to the table with a smile and something delish. I believe we found Southern Charm in a bowl! Stop and try it when in the area, you won't be disappointed. Relax, especially if they are very busy, it's worth the extra time needed to prepare a down right good meal. Had we not been traveling, I would have indulged in some of the cooler stored soups and entrees that looked extremely yummy as well. read more

Super Cute and Clean!!! Stopped here Christmas Eve morning an our way back home to FL and all the food we ordered was great. Food was fresh and iced latte was excellent. Server were very nice also. They also had a lot of take home soups and salads in the refrigerator and they all sounded wonder. Highly recommend. read more

Highly recommend Periwinkle K&CC! Go HUNGRY... the grits are so good and large portions. The shrimp and grits are AMAZING they should bottle and sell that sauce. Kim and her staff are THE BEST, especially if you are visiting and ask for recommendations of things to see and do. My friends and I loved everything about this place... we visited more than once and strongly recommend. read more

Chicken pimento cheese biscuit was amazing Staff was so friendly We had a great meal. We will definitely be back. read more

This is mine and my husband's first time visiting Kiawah. While looking for a quick but nice lunch we happened upon Periwinkle Kitchen. Very clean and pleasant with excellent food that you can tell someone takes pride in serving. My husband's burger and my chicken sandwich were both delicious and the fries were piping hot and crispy. The chicken on the sandwich was pounded which gave a uniform bite for the entire sandwich. It also had a great crunch. The two younger staff at the counter were friendly and helped us figure out the menu. I hope to visit again to try breakfast or one of their dinner meals. This is a place that pays attention to detail. read more

Coffee and biscuit were pretty good, but the avocado toast was kind of a rip off in my opinion

The food is decent but the service is super slow. We went there two times on different days. We waited about 40 minutes for two breakfast sandwiches and even longer for lunch. It was not busy. Everyone was waiting. Breakfast sandwiches were literally a biscuit, an egg over easy, piece of cheese and some bacon. Nothing fancy or gourmet. Other places get something like this out in 5 minutes. The price $$ is not aligned and I'm not a cheapskate. Both orders on different days were wrong and we had to go back... and wait to make the missing items. Staff seems close and social and were friendly. I'm not trying to be harsh here, but if the same focus was placed on quality assurance of orders and speed, and if they bring the price down just a little based upon food quality, they could really crush it. read more

Great experience! Absolutely loved the pecan crusted chicken. The owner is so kind and was sweet to my son making sure he left with a full belly. Appreciate the conversation and overall great experience. We will be back! read more

Visited a few times. Each time the woman at the counter was busy talking to friends so I've had to wait a while to order. The prices are very high yet the quality seems to be getting worse. Sticky tables. read more

The BEST chicken and waffles I've ever had. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, I'm new to town and this place made me feel right at home. read more

Love everything about this place. Great food, great location and great staff. Went with three other people--all ordered different items and we were all very happy with our choices. Pancakes and eggs were delicious. You could tell they were farm eggs because the yolks were a nice orange color. We will definitely be back! read more

The best thing ever I had this flat bread and I was the first to try it! LET ME TELL YOU it was amazing the service was to good she was amazing and this guy Jack I think his name was, HE WAS GREAT!!!! The service was great food great! DON'T WALK TO THIS PLACE RUN read more

This place is amazing! Definitely a staple for John's Island. It's the best place for consistently good food, with amazing staff and local coffee/fresh pressed juices. The best part about it is, the ingredients are locally sourced. read more

Friendly staff, quick service, and tasty food. I have only been for breakfast but this is a welcome addition to the area.

our first visit I had shrimp and grits at 22.95 which is fine if it's good. The shrimp were not fresh you could smell them from the kitchen being prepared very fishy taste could not finish the tea was like water not sweet tea you pay before u eat ! my husband had the smash burger said the onions tasted like they were cooked in wine maybe but enjoyed it 20 bucks the 2 young girls working did greet us very soft spokenly and oddly enuff the owner was sitting right next to us never addressed us or said hello him and another girl were all spread out at one of the tables on there laptops discussing business in front of customers even talking a a termination imfromt of us very unprofessional The store is charming and seemed clean no sign for restroom and only one for both men and women cute decor but outside needs a lot of tic they have tables outside but it looks junky old metal and empty pots piled up If the owners really love here they should spruce up a bit and a customer shouldn't know the powers out at your house !! not impressed won't b back read more

Heard about this place from family members, who really like it. We ordered the roasted pork marsala, with blueberry crisp for dessert. The pork was tender and flavorful, with a really delicious marsala cream sauce, and the service size was more than enough for two people. I can rarely find a good blueberry crisp, but this one was a real treat, very tasty. Aside from the food, the place has a nice laid-back ambiance. We met the owners, who were friendly and welcoming. We wish them the best! read more

We've been here a few times. First, everything is made fresh daily from quality ingredients. You can just tell. The grilled cheese and tomato soup is really delicious. Sounds so basic but it's really not - the smoky flavor is so smooth and sweet. The chicken club is delicious and the breakfast sandwich on sourdough bread is excellent. Smash burger is very good and very hearty- two big patties. I'm happy to have this option so close to Kiawah Island. Great high quality food and super friendly service. I highly recommend you check it out for yourself. I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

Wonderful service that matched the equally yummy food! We stopped for lunch on our way into Kiawah and everything we had was delicious. Clean and cute as well! read more

Quickly becoming the new island favorite! The pork Marsala was fantastic, and fast! Who doesn't love hot fast service? My wife adored her roasted potatoes. They were so crisp and seasoned perfectly. We finished our meals with a farm fresh blueberry crisp. Someone in that kitchen knows what they're doing with the sweets. As we were headed out the owners, who we met previously in the night welcomed us back with family and friends anytime. 10/10 but 5 stars will do! Thanks Kim and John! Can't wait to return. read more

Wonderful addition to Johns Island with a very friendly staff. Previous reviews are BS because the owner is very inviting and makes you feel at home while trying to get to know you while your dining. They have a great wine and beer selection and the food was amazing will be back. read more
