Best Restaurants with a Vibrant Bar Scene in Folly Beach

We had a wonderful dining experience at Amens! We started with the hush puppies, and they were delicious, perfectly crispy on the outside with a soft, doughy interior. We also ordered the shrimp and grits, which were amazing: very flavorful with a generous serving size. The absolute standout was the halibut. It was flaky, buttery, and beautifully paired with the succotash. I honestly wasn’t expecting to be excited about succotash, but I ate every last bean. This meal was a win from start to finish, and we will definitely be back!

Overall a very nice place to go for dinner. This is basic food well done. The service was excellent and the ambiance is pleasant. Will go there again.

We have lived in Charleston for 30 years and enjoyed so many wonderful restaurants. It had been a while since we had been back to Anson, and we were looking forward to it. When making my reservation, I looked over recent reviews and saw the name Darnell several times, indicating that he provided excellent service. Our experience was the same. Darnell was warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. He was friendly and made us feel like family. He was knowledgeable about the menu and provided us with excellent recommendations. The food was fantastic -- all five of us agreed after trying many items from the menu. My filet mignon was flavorful and perfectly cooked. I had the specialty salad - arugula, strawberries, pecans, blue cheese crumbles with white balsamic. So, so good! And the corn side dish was slightly spicy and delicious. We sat in a circular booth on the first floor... in the past, we had always sat upstairs. It was a fun atmosphere on a beautiful Charleston evening. I highly recommend Anson and Darnell!

So absolutely perfect again! Thank you for making our anniversary even that much more special. Oak Steakhouse is my favorite restaurant in Charleston because you deliver an amazing experience every time. The steaks are always perfect, the staff is energetic and friendly and Chris is just such an amazing asset to you! The best! See you again soon.

We went for our birthdays and the staff treated us great and gave us a special treat. We especially enjoyed the brown sugar miso espresso martinis. The sushi was absolutely fantastic!
