Roasted squash with pumpkin seeds
Craig D.

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!

This place is SO CUTE! We have been coming to this area for over 10 years. Always go to Poes but wanted to try something new. We made a reservation. Sat immediately at our time. Service was amazing. Food came out quickly. Everything was perfect! 10/10

Catherine is incredible. She made my family and I feel like we were home. The food, as always, is beyond delicious and I highly recommend the burger, it's the best burger I've had in my life. Catherine not only gave us amazing education on the local cuisine but made us feel so special and taken care of. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu!

Orange Veramonte glass $15 and crab app $22

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.

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.

Melón ceviche in leche de tigre--you'll want to drink the juice at the end!
Malerie P.

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!

Excellent service and food. We shared the hush puppies and celery salad, and those have to be the best hush puppies I've ever had. Also shared the tacos and the fish fry basket which were excellently seasoned and fish was crispy.

Ceviche, crab claws, and fried okra
Taylor G.

My dinner at Sullivan's Fish Camp was a true celebration of Southern seafood done right and the crab claws, ceviche, and fried okra were absolute highlights.

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.

Lobster roll, needs a pickle and maybe some Coleslaw
Sara R.

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.

Old Fashion

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...

Hushpuppies
Scottie S.

I can't rave enough about our waitress! She explained dishes and gave the best recs. The hushpuppies were yummy, especially with the honey butter. Holy crap the Celery Salad though... weirdest flavors but delicious! I would order the sicilian crudo 100 times over. The crab toastada was light & refreshing and the crab was PACKED. The fish and grits was good flavor but the fish (cobia) was my first time eating, and a little tough for my liking.

I ate half of this prior to taking the pic. Seafood boil

First time here and it was cute. They have valet parking which is helpful…read more I did not get to see the outside but it looks cute. Fancy place inside. Not your usual beachfront restaurant. We ordered the seafood tower and it didn't seems like enough food. Definitely had better shrimp cocktails. Probably wouldn't come here again. Would have been nice to get like free bread or something while waiting for food.

Everyone was attentive and personable. Food: 3/5 overall. We started with crab fritters, jalapeño hush puppies, and fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese. The fried green tomatoes were excellent. The crab fritters were just okay, and we couldn't taste any jalapeño or heat in the hush puppies. For entrées, two people ordered the four-ounce filet. Both were cooked perfectly, but one was so heavily salted it was like a salt lick. Everyone seemed to enjoy the lobster tails. The crab cakes were tasty, though we expected more lump crab rather than the stringy texture they had. The favorite dish was probably the scallops over risotto. The gouda mac and cheese was good, but the blue cheese coleslaw was a miss--it didn't taste like blue cheese at all. Dessert ended the meal on a high note. The layered chocolate cake was rich, moist, and delicious, while the key lime pie was light and not too tart. We loved the views and service, even though the food had some hits and misses.

After an incredible lunch at nearby Obstinate Daughter, my friends and I were walking around…read moreSullivan's Island when we were going to get drinks at Home Team BBQ but it was absolutely packed. Their long wait ended up working in my favor because I convinced everyone to pop into The Longboard instead for a Painkiller... or two. In 2018, I visited The Longboard on St. John in the US Virgin Islands and I've seriously been dreaming about their Painkillers ever since. Naturally, I was thrilled to learn there was a sister restaurant on Sullivan's Island. We grabbed seats at the bar, enjoyed the tropical vibes, and ordered exactly what I had been dreaming of for so long. My friend opted for a Painkiller with a floater while I stuck with the classic version. Both were fantastic and instantly transported me back to the Caribbean. We also ordered a half dozen of the daily oysters. They took a little longer than expected to arrive, but when we asked about them, the manager couldn't have been kinder. He immediately brought them out and insisted on taking them off our bill altogether. Completely unnecessary but a thoughtful gesture and great example of excellent customer service. Our bartender, Caleb, was also a delight!!! He was friendly and helped make our visit enjoyable. Honestly, I only wish we hadn't just stuffed ourselves at Obstinate Daughter because I absolutely would have ordered more food here. The poke bowls looked incredible (as did the entire menu if I'm being honest). Whether it's Sullivan's Island or St. John, consider me a worldwide Longboard fan. Here's hoping there are many more Painkillers in my future.

Due to it being summer, I wasn't sure if we would need a reservation for lunch or not, so I made…read moreone - just in case. We got there, had to a wait a couple of minutes to be seated. The space is cute, nice decor/vibe. Our server was friendly and service was quick. I tried the frozen painkiller, which was delicious. Calamari appetizer was crispy and I really enjoyed the aioli that came with it - it added a nice, light flavor. I ordered the Sullivan's sushi wrap, which included spicy tuna, avocado, crispy shallot, sesame, teriyaki sauce and a spicy aioli. They did not skimp on the sauce, which I love because it adds a nice, flavorful punch. The tuna was fresh and tasty. Not sure what the wrap was made of - not sure it added much in terms of flavor - but it made it into something handheld, which thankfully is better than some of the "sushi burritos" I have had before. Overall, it was fresh and tasty. Definitely a good option if you're in the area.
