Gullah Grub Restaurant

Don't miss out on this local gem outside Beaufort on the way to Hunting Island! Gullah Grub Restaurant features lowcountry cooking at its finest prepared in the traditions of the Gullah people living along Atlantic coastal regions. The building is super charming and filled with articles, photographs, and artwork related to the owners, Bill & Sara Green, and their mission to serve locally sourced organic foods. Bill was actually there and prepared our meals. I tried the chicken gumbo with a side of rice - she got the BBQ chicken lunch with potato salad and an extra side of mac-n-cheese. Of all these items, my favorite, by far, was the chicken gumbo - super thick and flavorful with a hint of smokiness - EXCELLENT! I mixed the rice with it and it was perfection. Next time I'll try the

Great service, terrific atmosphere, and almost all the food is great. The fried shrimp are wonderful, and the ribs are enormous and a great value. I say "almost" only because the gumbo is more like a Brunswick stew with shrimp then a gumbo - no rice or peppers, tons of beans. Anything else on the menu is outstanding.

Early dinner was out of this world! The food was all great (don't sleep on the shark strips or the ribs), the chef is serving up family recipes that go back generations. Our server "Bubba" was wonderful and was kind enough to share some of the family's history with us. The restaurant is no frills to be sure, but it fits the vibe so it's still a solid 10 overall. This one should be on the Michelin list.

This restaurant is a slice of history that needs to be preserved. The service was great. The history on the walls was awesome. For me the food was just ok. I liked the shark. I have never had shark before, so didn't know what to expect as far as texture was concerned. But the batter was seasoned well. I'm not a huge fan of potato salad on a normal day, so it was ok. The red rice was ok. The fried chicken was made well. It was very tasty. My friend's dad enjoyed the ribs. And my husband really liked the shrimp. I did not enjoy the sweet potato pie or the cobbler. But, others at the table did, so it probably has to do with our personal preferences when it comes to baked goods.

This restaurant is so unique and the history behind how and why it was created is truly remarkable. The food is delicious. We had shark, shrimp, potato salad, and shrimp gumbo. Every single dish was delicious and tasted truly authentic to what I imagined low country food to be like. You do not want to miss the opportunity to enjoy a meal at this wonderful little local spot.
