From local shrimp at the marina to tacos and sushi on Highway 174, Edisto keeps its food scene small, casual and heavy on seafood. Every restaurant below has its own page with the menu, hours and location (and prices where the restaurant publishes them), so you can pick a spot before you leave the beach.
Updated November 2026. Hours on each listing are as of October 2026; island hours change with the season.

Restaurants on the water
Pressley’s at the Marina serves seafood dinners upstairs over the marina, with drinks and often live music on the dock below (daily from 4 p.m.). Next door, High Tides at Dockside has a raw bar and a covered deck overlooking the marsh (Tuesday–Saturday evenings). On the ocean side, Coot’s Bar & Grill at the beach pavilion has a deck with an ocean view. For dessert with a view, Sugartime has marsh-view seating outside.
Breakfast and coffee
SeaCow Eatery has served Southern breakfast since 1995 and opens at 7 a.m. every day. Marsh Moon Cafe in the Jungle Road shops pours espresso and cold brew and serves breakfast and lunch (closed Mondays), and Tortuga’s Mexican Grill next door makes breakfast burritos and tacos from 8 a.m. On Sundays, The Waterfront serves brunch from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Seafood
The Waterfront Restaurant is run by island natives whose family has worked Edisto’s waters for four generations. High Tides pairs Lowcountry seafood with a raw bar, Pressley’s is known for blackened grouper and crab cakes, and Whaley’s serves seafood and burgers in a former gas station. For a steak-and-seafood dinner, try Pros & Cons in Wyndham Ocean Ridge, and for fried or boiled seafood to go, the food truck behind Flowers Seafood Company.
Seafood markets and farm stands for your rental
Most visitors cook at least a few nights in their rental, and Edisto is good at that. Edisto Seafood by the marina and Flowers Seafood Company on Highway 174 sell local shrimp, fish and crabs. King’s Farm Market, on the drive onto the island, is known for homemade pies, prepared foods and local produce, and George & Pink’s is a historic produce stand down a dirt road off Highway 174 (cash or check only). For recipes, see our Edisto shrimp and grits.
Pizza, tacos and takeout
Crust Station makes hand-tossed pizza and wings in the Jungle Road shops (closed Monday and Tuesday), and The Local’s Pizzeria next to Whaley’s is mostly takeout. McConkey’s Jungle Shack has served burgers, tacos and fried seafood in an open-air setting since 2007. Up Highway 174, Bluefin Cantina pairs street tacos with sushi and margaritas, and Bailey’s Wings & Things fries wings and seafood for takeout on Fridays and Saturdays.
Bars and late night
Coot’s is the late-night spot, open until 2 a.m. every day. Whaley’s is the island’s lively local bar, Pressley’s has a dock bar with live music, the Dockside bar shares a building with High Tides, and Bluefin Cantina has a full bar.
Ice cream and sweets
3 Gulls Creamery scoops ice cream and milkshakes in the Jungle Road shops (daily, noon to 9 p.m.), and Sugartime on Jungle Road has candy, ice cream and frozen yogurt (daily, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.).

Tips for Eating Out on Edisto
- Know the two food hubs. Jungle Road is walkable from the beach (SeaCow, The Waterfront, McConkey’s, Crust Station and the Jungle Road shops), and the marina on Docksite Road has Pressley’s, High Tides and Edisto Seafood. Highway 174 spots are a short drive. See the map.
- Check the day before you go. Lots of island spots close a day or two a week; see which days restaurants close.
- Hours shrink off-season. Many restaurants cut back in fall and winter, so check the listing or call ahead.
- Bring cash for farm stands. George & Pink’s takes cash or check only.
- Make it a night. Pair dinner with one of the Edisto Beach events at Bay Creek Park, right next to the marina restaurants.
