Due to it being summer, I wasn't sure if we would need a reservation for lunch or not, so I made one - 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.
A quite enjoyable birthday lunch! I appreciate that their non-alcoholic beer wasn't strictly an IPA and a pilsner. They have several mocktails and a NA golden beer. The calamari was cooked and fried perfectly, and the aioli was a perfect addition. A little over half of the calamari was just the small squidlings which doesn't bother me, but I can see that being an issue for many. It doesn't have the same flavor as the rings and it's a bit saltier, but maybe that's just personal preference. The Isle of Palms of wrap tasted really fresh, loved the fish and the tuna and shrimp. I found the outside of the wrap (rice paper?) a little bland, but it didn't detract much from the rest of the contents. Next time I'd like to try the shaded outside seating because it looked beautiful.
Really enjoyed this brunch! Came here on a Saturday in September during a bachelorette party with a group of 12 and they accommodated us so well. The inside was clean and nautical feeling. The food was outstanding. Everyone who ordered the breakfast fried rice RAVED about it. There were a ton of really unique brunch items on the menu - I had a difficult time deciding what to order. Don't think you can go wrong here!
Got cut off after 2 drinks over the course of an hour and a half while on vacation. I was in fact ubering as my means of transportation but regardless was embarrassed and dumbfounded.
Very cute place! Good food too! My husband and I came in for lunch before going to the beach. I ordered the shrimp & grits. It was the BEST shrimp & grits I've had since moving to SC earlier this year. It had a soupy texture but the flavor was excellent! I'd come back here just to get this meal again, that's how good it was! I would definitely recommend checking this place out while on Sullivan's Island :)
We were in the mood for some sushi & fresh seafood and decided to check out The Longboard Restaurant located on Sullivan's Island. It was around four in the afternoon and to our delight they serve lunch until 5pm and also had Happy Hour specials. It is absolutely gorgeous in here. A beautiful space with coastal decor. Ideal for large groups & holiday makers. I strongly suggest making a booking in high season. I've seen the lines down the street in the height of summer. The dishes were absolutely delicious fresh & beautifully presented. Saylor was our server and she was attentive without being obtrusive, knowledgeable & helpful with the menu. She made our entire experience so much more enjoyable. Parking can be difficult on Sullivan's but The Longboard is definitely worth the hassle.
The ambiance is really amazing at this place. As someone who's been vacationing to isle of palms and Sullivans islands since I was a baby, it is sometimes hard to find actual fresh fish of the island. A lot of places just have frozen fish. You can tell by the quality they freshly catch their fish and it's delicious. I've seen a lot of places on Sullivans' change ownership over the last 25 years and the quality shows. This place is great and super cute I got the chicken pad Thai and my friend a poke bowl and mine was superb! and the tuna very fresh! The Brussels sprouts were super crispy and delicious and the service was good the servers were really nice and the bartender makes great cocktails!
Loved lunch at The Londboard! Came here with friends for Memorial Day at Sullivan's Island: loved everything! The restaurant is perfectly airy and gives island vibes (for good reason--they have a restaurant on St. Thomas as well!) I thought the teal longboard hanging above the bar was really cool! For drinks, I got a frozen painkiller, while my friends got wadma-law-breakers for Happy Hour ($10 per cocktail!) It was also Oyster Hour, so we got 1/2 dozen Charleston oysters for $12--so delicious we ordered a second batch! We also got the crispy calamari--perfectly crispy and tasty! For actual meals, my friends got salads. I got veggie, fish, and shrimp tacos--all freshly made and very good. I would come here again. I walked to the beach with a full belly and high spirits. Also, chat with the restaurant manager, Louis, who is also a tennis expert! Receipt attached for reference on prices.
Went here with my family of 5 the night I moved in to Charleston! It is in such a cute spot on Sullivans island, walking distance to the beach and an ice cream shop and has the CUTEST coastal beachy vibe inside that was perfect after just moving to the beach. Our service was great, everyone was very friendly and helpful! She had great drinks recommendations and I loved my cocktail. The most disappointing aspect of this place was the food. We ordered a good amount of different things and everyone tried each others. The resounding response from everything we tried was that it was so SALTY. There were multiple items we couldn't even eat due to the salt. I can't remember the last time we had inedible food due to salt. On top of that, I do believe the food prices are very overpriced for the taste as well as the pretty tiny portions you receive. Because of this, I don't think we will be back to eat here. However, I do think this is a great spot to grab a few drinks! Great vibes and super fun looking cocktails. I will be back for drinks for sure. Just be aware of the appetizers, as those were also super salty. Maybe someone's salt shaker broke that evening, but still a pricey meal......
Beautiful decor, nice ambiance! DJ on the deck outside. No lunch menu on weekends but solid brunch options and impressive raw bar!
I really wanted to like this place, but the experience fell short overall. The biggest issue was the service--it was extremely slow. There was only one waitress handling everything during lunch: hosting, bartending, and serving. While she was doing her best, it clearly wasn't enough to keep up. At one point, I literally watched two couples get up and leave because it took so long for her to even greet them and take a drink order. As for the food, it was a mixed bag. The grilled oysters were absolutely amazing--easily the highlight of the meal and the one thing that stood out in a positive way. Unfortunately, the fried rice was disappointing. It was overcooked and the portion size was smaller than expected. Between the slow service and inconsistent food, it just didn't live up to expectations. I hope they can improve staffing because there's definitely potential here.
Great seafood and land-animal options on the menu, super cool space with lots of bar seating. Staff is friendly! App rec: Spreads, Fresh Catch Ceviche Entree rec: Seared Yellowfin Tuna with Thai coconut broth is a MUST...incredible!!!!
Yummy spot and had a great time with a big group of friends grabbing drinks and dinner here! Services was great and very accommodating. Everyone's food was good, but lacked a little flavor, however good enough I'd go back! Great spot after the beach!

After an incredible lunch at nearby Obstinate Daughter, my friends and I were walking around Sullivan'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. read more

This place is awesome. Service was fantastic for our huge group of 11 girls. The food was amazing and drinks off the charts! It wasn't cheap but definitely worth the price. I got the scallops which melted in my mouth. Lots of fun appetizers to pick from. read more

We stopped by for drinks after we visited the beach and they were great. It was pretty quiet the day we went so we spent a couple of hours there and servers were so nice. We got a couple of rounds of drinks and all of them were so good. The food looked great we just weren't hungry & overall aesthetic was cute and fun! read more

Food was excellent, service was top notch. Food was so fresh. Chicken nuggets for son were a little tough, but the oysters, breakfast fried rice and toast options were amazing! read more
LOVE a Longboard happy hour! I live nearby and always take all of my guests here because the cocktails are so fantastic. I personally love their Heart & Sol which is a pineapple-serrano infused reposado tequila cocktail, but lately I have also been loving the Smoke Signal, a bourbon and mezcal concoction with spiced honey and bitters. Longboard has a great raw bar and delish sushi wraps which are also a fan favorite among my group! Plus the atmosphere is tough to beat - with ocean breezes blowing through the restaurant and a beach aesthetic, it's hard not to feel like you're on vacation! read more

Very cute restaurant with good quality.enjoyed various dishes to share and entrees. Some highlights included the octopus, oysters, and scallops. Really good flavoring and pairing. Food came out quickly and they even gave us welcome shots pre and post dinner. Was such a lovely experience- recommend read more
We came here for dinner and we had a great experience! The parking is very minimal so if you come on a busy night, just make sure you plan accordingly to find parking! There are many other restaurants and shops around so this area is busy! When we walked in, the hostess apologized and said they were running behind on their reservations and we did not mind waiting at all! Once we were seated, we were greeted by our waitress and put in our drink orders. She also gave us a carafe with water for the table. I got a mocktail and it was delicious! For dinner, I got the salmon poke bowl and my husband got the surf and turf with broccoli on the side! They were so delicious! So much flavor in both entrees! I love the decor on the inside and the heated patio! The bathrooms were clean and I love the size of the bar! read more
What a great way to end the Celebration Weekend - The Longboard does not disappoint. Between the seafood tower - baked oysters, raw oysters - grits and breakfast fried rice, there was a hushed silence at the table. Service for 12 can be wonky - staff handled perfectly. Sunday brunch is a must do when here at Sullivan's Island. read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant, kind of by chance we got the oysters to start out our meal. They had this beautiful garlic, hot sauce, everything super fresh and all the sauces and additions made in house!! We had the sliders and fried rice which was so creamy and delish. We are from LA and the cocktails rivaled the best we have had at 1/3 the price. Our server was Peyton, she was super knowledgeable and gave amazing recommendations. Was a wonderful welcome to the Carolinas. Thank you Peyton for a amazing experience read more

This place was generally pretty good. Good service, cute atmosphere. The brunch cocktails were amazing - especially the iced latte one (with alcohol.) That was probably one of my favorite drinks I've ever had. Food wise- steak and eggs were good. The crab rolls were totally lacking. At first, the server accidentally brought me the crab salad, which I sent back because I ordered the crab rolls. The crab salad looked AMAZING - huge chunks of crab mixed with avocado! Wow! I wish I had kept it. When I got my crab rolls, I opened them to find about 3 pieces of crab in each roll, so I was eating mostly rice and soy paper, basically. That dish was not good. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their dishes, and overall it was a good experience. read more
