Anchor Line Restaurant

Fresh local seafood!  According to many, the Anchor Line has the best fried seafood in Charleston.  It's just a shack on Folly Road,  where you eat off Styrofoam plates, on picnic tables in the screened-in porch enjoying the breeze and view of the marsh where your meal was caught.  The fried seafood and blue crab gumbo is wonderful.  It looks like a dump, but it tastes great.

Closed - Building being remodeled.

Barrier Island Surf Shop - La Cocina

The sign is a little misleading.  The Barrior Island surf shop is a bar.  They still sell some gear, but more people come to hang out and drink than shop.  La Cocina is the perfect cure for beer munchies.  Get a big California style burrito, fresh tacos or nachos and keep on drinking with local Folly Beach surfers.

Crosby's Fish & Shrimp

Talk about fresh, every morning they catch their own fish, shrimp, oysters, croakers and whitings with their own boats and from their own fishing pier.  They will wrap it up for you, but you have to cook it.  For a great Folly Beach picnic, take a cooler to Crosby's, pick up some freshly caught seafood, and grill it on a public barbeque grill at the Folly Beach County Park.  When its this fresh, it doesn't matter how you season it - it's gonna be good.  Crosby's is just outside the Folly Beach city limits.

River Cafe

This is a hidden little Folly Beach restaurant with upscale, pricy French cuisine combined with low country accents.  It might look like a dive but you wouldn't believe the food.  The owner and chef takes pride in offering excellent service and food.  People who actually find the River Cafe in Folly Beach love the sunset river view from the patio and rave about the food.  To get there, take W Indian, turn right on Sandbar Lane and follow the little signs.  You actually have to walk through someone's yard to get to the River Cafe!
