I can't believe it took us this long to come here. We ordered way too much food, but there was so much we wanted to try. Started with oysters which were fabulous. They are served with a mignonette, which isn't my favorite, I should have asked for cocktail sauce z but I just slurped them down "naked" and they were fabulous. We also had the hushpuppy tots - the butter these come with is the perfect compliment. Hubs had the Sullivan fried platter, so good, it includes fried green tomatoes - YUM! And coleslaw that reminds me of Jewish delis from my childhood, but finely shredded. I had the fish tacos which were swordfish today, the salsa on there is perfect with the fish. Cocktails were good and if you've ever been to the BVI, the best painkiller that's not there, they even use Pusser's Rum. I can't wait to go back to try more of the menu. read more

We have been to Sullivan's three times, and its been a very mixed experience. The one constant is service that is often slow or poorly timed with the bar service being the biggest issue. There is a lot to love about this restaurant - location, an upscale/beachy/comfortable vibe and food that can be exceptional. We are big fans of the sister restaurant Post House where we regularly visit. It is a tale of two restaurants. The Post House executes with precision, service is exceptional and the food is unwaveringly wonderful. Not the same with Sullivan's Fish Camp. Execution inconsistent - On one visit, our food took 45 minutes (was 2/3 full at best and no-one outside) - We were given fries gratis in recognition of the wait. Even at that visit at the bar, it took too much time to get our drinks. A recent visit (3/11/26), it took 20 minutes to get our drink order, and our food arrived shortly after. The server was attentive and mostly sympathetic, but sort of dismissed it as normal. The principle reason for the 3 rating is a service rating of 2 over these visits. The food is generally exceptional. For this dinner, we had their roasted squash which was absolutely amazing. They were out of a few dishes. We had a special tile fish on a root purée and an arugula and mushroom topping that was exceptional... but just warm at best. Execute. Food could be a 5, but it is a 4. The good news it can be addressed! read more

Disappointing and seriously overpriced, that catch of the day ($44) and a sauce-drowned filet special. Then, they padded the bill: a "digital fee" ??? I had offered to pay cash, but they said it was for "resy" (?)--we were walk-ins, so they did remove that. But then, they WANTED us to pay by credit? Weird. an extra beer that we never drank (spotted afterward, too late) The following night, we paid 1/3 LESS in downtown Charleston for way better food. Lesson learned. I think, just stick to fish and chips and bar food here, and you'll be fine. And, perhaps, don't be a tourist. Be a local. The waitress was great, personable and kind. We tipped her well, in cash. read more

When we want really great seafood but zero pretense- we head straight for Sullivan Fish Camp. Come as you are with lots of comfortable seating options and a great bar. Old school favorites and brand new instant favorites. Fish sandwich, Oysters,Daily Catch, Epic Lobster Roll, and a crab tostada you will dream about. Until it demands a return trip. Finish off with a soft serve sundae or the perfect key lime pie. Bring the kiddos. Wear your flip flops. But expect food as good as anywhere downtown. Service was perfect balance of friendly and efficient with great suggestions. Atmosphere is old school perfection of memories and vacations and good times. Great wines by the glass with a generous pour. read more

Sullivans is a nice place in a great location on Sullivans Island. We were a group of 4 adults and 2 little ones for an early dinner. We had reservations, so were seated quickly in a comfortable booth. Service was good and we were pretty well taken care of. The hush puppies were pretty good. It has a very small menu, and nothing at all caught my eye. I ended up with a fried fish sandwich with fries. The fish was exceptionally thin and small. Reminded me of McDonald's. $350 with a nice tip, seems a bit high, even for Sullivans Island. I wouldn't seek this place out again. read more

Sullivan’s Fish Camp - Seafood Near Me - Sullivan's Island, South Carolina

Dining here was a bit disappointing, especially given the hype and the prices. My burger was delicious, but the oysters I ordered did not have the bottom muscles cut and they was missing a ton of brine. For a seafood place, this was a pretty big disappointment. read more

This was a fun dining experience. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. We were asked by many staff if everything was ok Chef Jason Stanhope shows true love for the food and menu that he crafts. The ceviche wraps a very unique and perky taste with melon and leche de Tigre--a Peruvian inspired ceviche. The creamed corn under the red snapper was delightful. My favorite part of the meal was the fish collar tacos. They had a nice char singe to them with excellent flavor and a decent amount of meat. But the pico de gallo was the kicker. Also, the middlins rice with benne seeds enveloped a flavor I've never had in a simple rice dish before. The walnut cookie was a great finisher to a delicious meal. An overall upscale version of a fish camp style of a restaurant. A very unique place on Sullivans with incorporation of historically relevant foods with local Ingredients. Give it a try! read more

Started out the New Year with brunch before the Polar Plunge. I initially wanted the Warm Buttered Lobster Roll, but I asked the server if it had mayo on it and he said yes so I opt'd for the Al Pastor Fish Tacos. They were good, but hard to eat as the shells kept falling apart. My friend ordered the Lobster Roll, and I was disappointed to find out it did not have any mayo it and I would have enjoyed it. The restaurant itself was well decorated and a short walk to the main downtown area. read more

Great food! Hush puppies were top notch, the soft shell sandwich was also really good. Service was excellent, overall vibe is great.

Sullivan's Fish Camp is a true gem on Sullivan's Island with just a short walk from the beach and perfect for everything from a casual lunch to a dressed-up dinner. The space has a fun retro island vibe with a layout that works for any mood: a few cozy outdoor tables, a big central bar, comfy booths, and plenty of standard tables inside. I tried the catch of the day (red snapper), the spicy tuna and rice bowl, and the al pastor fish tacos. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. On top of all that, the service was exceptional and intentional. You can tell they care about the details and want you to enjoy your time there. read more

The Hungry Detective and Special Agent Deirdre had a great experience Saturday night at Sullivan's Fish Camp!!! We always like to sit at the bar and as usual, we got some great conversation and service from our bartender bartenders Zach and Cheyenne!!!! The food: we had the hamburger and the lobster roll, also known as "ghetto surf and turf"... Both were good tasting and wonderful just the right amount of bun to beef and lobster ratio on both!!! Cocktail's: Made us the perfect shaken martini with three olives... Just the way we like it and then straight out of Compton...Cheyenne made us the most incredible old-fashioned... She is a true mixologist and bourbon rockstar... Being from Kentucky and the Bourbon Trail she knows her stuff. Needless to say it was the best old-fashioned I've had in Charleston!!! VERDICT: Guiltu as sin for serving up excellent cocktails, and tremendous food simple into the point... read more

Cute ambiance. Very average food-- for the price. The best thing ordered was the lobster roll, that was 4 stars. The bread got soggy quick though! And no pickle, only fries or chips as a side-- still $34. The kids food items were all $16 for items like a grilled cheese, burger chicken fingers etc. $4 oysters, each. They were good but pricey. The hush puppies were way too over fried and salty- I've had much better, we sent back. Overall I'd go for the vibe, maybe a drink or two and some oysters but the mostly fried food really isn't worth price tag to me. read more

Delightful experience. Seafood is fresh and expertly prepared. Dinner tonight was the "low country boil" and the fish chowder. Very good indeed. Atmosphere is comfortable, with a seafare design. Service was excellent. read more

My visit to Fish Camp was amazing! Great food and great service! My friend made reservations, and I got to visit. With a snafu from ordering and the kitchen getting the order electronically, we were compensated well for the late food. The restaurant manager Cheyenne took good care of us and was very apologetic. I ordered the seafood boil, and I got an appetizer with small crab claw bites. Both were wonderful and full of flavor. I had one of the best key lime pies ever. Had a great bold flavor unlike many that are so mild. The menu had some great seafood options that seemed different than what you often find at a seafood restaurant. Ex. I didn't see clam chowder, but I did see the seafood boil! Go try this place - won't be disappointed! read more

Parking a little scarce Waiter new to restaurant, but a real nice guy, but that did not make up for intermit lapses. Ambiance was ok as the staff tried to appease us There was not a smooth delivery of food as entree was on heels of appetizer and salads and only 3 entrees out of 4 made it and at once, waited for the 4th too long to start eating. As for food, we all ordered fish that was underwhelming for $600 for 4 people not including tip. Was hoping for better experience after driving an hour to get there. Maybe an "off day" for staff but was trying to follow chef to his new residence read more

I wish I had taken pictures of what was supposed to be a beet salad. It wasn't anything like the picture (that I looked up on their website after). I feel as though Cracker Barrel would've done a better job. The entire plate was orange and looked like a diner plate from a cliche movie, orange beets topped with oranges that were dry, and then orange rinds. The food is overpriced ($45 for a lobster roll with potato chips???). The wine by the glass list was minimal. The whole experience gave me the impression that something is off in the kitchen, plates were sloppy, food was subpar (they subbed broccoli for the okra in the lowcountry boil??), the fries weren't even salted, overall not impressed. We like to eat in Sullivan's whenever we are over here, but we don't be back. read more

While we had a very nice young waitress that was fast, communicative, the food was very disappointing for the price tag. The fish and shrimp combo was very bland and had nothing special. The special was ok but nothing worth the visit. Kids did not enjoy their meals (chicken was spicy and cheeseburger overcooked). On top of that we sat by the window which had lots of dead flies and one bug that looked like a beetle started crawling by my kids which were scared by it. We spent over $300 for 5 people (2 were kids) and had one 3 drinks... Not worth going back. read more

My parents, who I miss dearly, listed Sullivan's Fish Camp as their very favorite restaurant whenever they visited IOP with friends. So when I was vacationing recently, I made sure to make reservations for dinner one night. Inside of the restaurant is beautifully decorated, and feels upscale casual and happy. Everyone we interacted with, from hostess to servers, were super friendly and helpful. I selected the Fish & Chips, and they were without a doubt the best I've ever had. A large fillet, with the lightest breading. My friend has Celiac and chose the Rainbow bowl, with a side of greens. Our server was so helpful in helping figure out the various gluten free options. If you're in Charleston, Sullivan's is a must visit! read more

The ambiance was lovely for an afternoon low country seafood stop. The servers were very kind and considerate. The cocktails were lovely if that is all you are look for, then this is a great option. If getting from order to food in under an hour is your plan, then this isn't the place for you. We ordered, then waited an hour to be served cold fried fish. The fish was also tough, so overcooked. It was only adequate read more

Kuddos to the bartenders! We came here last minute because we were at Isle of Palms. We had our eye on another spot however fate had it for us to come here! The ambiance was quaint. It's not a big space however it packs a lot. We couldn't get a table so we opted for the bar. The bartenders were very knowledgeable, fast and efficient. One in particular was very sweet. We ordered all shareable items and she made sure to space the timing of when they came out so we could throughly enjoy each item! read more

Micheal is the best!!!! The whole atmosphere was so sun and inviting! Definitely recommend!!!!! 10/10!!!

The worst food and mixed drinks I have ever had. They rep[laced the drink and it was just as bad as the first one. Prices were outrageous.

Came after work, with a friend. We were seated immediately. Host staff were wonderful. Decor is casual and nice. Tables were comfortable and our waiter was great. Our food was very good - hummus and sourdough, lobster bisque and scallops. It was expensive - which is why I'm giving four stars. I'd give 4.5 if I could. I paid $34 for three scallops. That's a lot. The cup of lobster bisque was $20. read more

This place is literally for tourists. Overpriced for subpar food. We went at the height of summer.. in July and paid 260 dollars before tip for 7 adults and two small children. The Staff were very kind however and constantly checked on us. We didn't complain about the quality of the food but these days you can tell most stuff is frozen and not fresh. We asked where their food comes from, found out they order a lot from other seaside States. Like Florida. So I guess it is frozen. The Coleslaw was terrible. None of us could eat it. The rest wasn't terrible but it wasn't awe inspiring either. I'm very picky and I know this about myself. My son is literally a food snob. He could be a professional food critic.. lol. The Place was decorated nice. A lot of natural light, good seating. Very busy with tourists. We enjoyed our time spent there but it did take us a very long time. Of course we had a large group. We did make reservations so they knew we were coming. I didn't get pictures of everyones plate but I took what I could. read more

Our first time at Sullivan's we were a party of four adults and two children. The food took over an hour to come out and that was just appetizers. The food was fairly good. The service was terrible. Our waitress never checked on us! read more

Finally made it here and were so glad we did. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and they were dog friendly providing a pup cup and water bowl which we greatly appreciated! The staff were attentive and very friendly. The cocktails were also great - we loved the frozen beet margarita. Our server let us sample before committing which we also appreciated. We struggled to pick off the menu, everything caught our eye. We started with the hush puppies and truffle fried shrimp. Both great. The shrimp were smaller but there were a decent amount of them. For our meal we got the swordfish tacos, butternut squash soup, shaved green salad and lobster special. All were fresh and unique. The salad might honestly have been my favorite bite of the night with the squash soup a close second. We really loved everything. We finished off with some ice cream to go. Great meal all around and we can't wait to go back! read more

On a busy Saturday I was lucky to score a seat at the bar. The place was lit and lively. Busy and staffs working at full speed. Both of the beautiful bartenders were attentive to what I needed. I order the pool boy drink: 4/5. Coconut water with pineapples juice, vodka and something else. It was good. Baked oysters 10/5 stars. Baked oysters with horseradish, lemon and butter topped with panko. It was delicate and comforting at the same time. I snorted all 6 within 5 mins. Main course: fish and chips 5/5 local catch with house made coleslaw and fries. The fried fish was very nice. Crispy batter but not heavy. The fish was very well seasoned. The coleslaw was really good. But it was warm. I got scared. So I didn't finish. Didn't want to catch food poisoning. I truly enjoyed the ambiance. Nice crowd. Known to the locals and tourist. Perfect indoor and outdoor seating.. I have to come back because I want to try their dinner menu. Til next time Sullivan's read more

Had dinner tonight at the bar. The atmosphere is really warm and cozy on a winter's eve. Akai, the bartender made the dining experience extra special! A local, he made me feel right at home and we chatted about his culinary skills and his passion for good food and drink. The Brussel sprouts were delicious as well as the shrimp fried rice. Added some of their house made hot sauce for extra flavor and really enjoyed my dinner! Will def be back. read more

I finally checked out Sullivan's Fish Camp a few weeks ago after admiring how aesthetically pleasing it is every time I passed by--and I'm so glad I did! I grabbed a seat at the bar and had a great time. The bartender was super friendly, gave great recommendations, and was happy to chat when he wasn't busy. It made for such a fun and relaxed experience. We came back about a week ago hoping to sit at the bar again, but it was full (disappointed we didn't get to see our guy!), so we opted for an outdoor table instead and enjoyed a beautiful night. Now, I'll admit--I don't like fish or seafood in general. But every once in a while, I get a craving for fish and chips, which is what originally brought me in. Their version is perfectly cooked fish with a light, crispy fry batter. Tony had the shrimp fried rice the first time and loved it. On our return visit, he tried the clam linguini, which he liked but wished had a bit more flavor in the sauce. As for drinks--the Pollinator is my absolute favorite. So good. Overall, a great spot with good vibes, especially if you're lucky enough to snag a bar seat! read more
