Best Southern American Restaurants in Beaufort

We took a quick trip to Charleston and booked here for my birthday dinner and it was 10/10. Darnell was our server and he was outstanding; funny, welcoming, kind, and personable. The food was delicious and the place is adorable. Cannot recommend enough!!

A beautiful place to eat and so friendly! We were on our honeymoon and made us feel so special!

We had a lovely Christmas brunch at 22 Square today. The overworked staff stayed positive and friendly through a busy peak time, and the food was excellent. A comfortable casual environment for a daytime meal across from the Square. Thank you!

Our first time to dine at Vic’s. A little confusing finding and walked down to the river front and went to Vic’s River Grill next door. The host at VRG kindly walked us to the Vic’s on the River entrance and explained about going through the coffee shop and using the elevator to go up four floors to the restaurant. Come to find out they have a street level entrance that we used after dinner. We had a reservation and they let our son, whom we were meeting, be seated at 5:45 or we would have been 10 minutes late so that was good. The atmosphere was great and we had a table with a window facing the river. Our server, Alix was very friendly and knowledgeable of the entire menu. She took our cocktail orders and brought us out a basket of homemade biscuits. The martini’s were very good and my son’s Malbec was good also. My son and I had the braised short ribs that came with mashed potatoes and fresh green beans which was very tender and tasty and my wife had a Caesar salad. We found the prices to be very good. We will definitely be adding this restaurant to our Savannah dining list but will find a closer parking garage and now know about the street level entrance.

As always, Breakwater delivered! It was our wedding anniversary, and I felt as if we were treated like royalty. The food was beautiful and delicious, and our server was attentive without being intrusive. This is one of our go-to spots for special occasions and will continue to be.
