Whaley's Restaurant & Bar

Very over-rated. Before we visited Edisto, all of our friends said this restaurant was a "must go to" place. We did... twice actually. We thought the first time may have been because they were busy. Slow service, meh food, soup was cold and out of several things we wanted. The 2nd time, the wing chips were so done we couldn't eat them. We ended up going to Flowers, getting our own fresh seafood and enjoyed that for alot less money. Won't be going back here.

The steak sandwich and fried oysters were so good, we had to go back one more time before we left. Drinks were good, not watered down like in some vacation spots. Servers were great both times. We will definitely go back!

Great burgers. Awesome service. Lovely homemade potato chips. Good fries. Delicious buffalo chicken sandwich.

Edit: Gave Whaley’s Restaurant & Bar another try and stopped in at 4:50 just before dinner starts at 5 PM. Last time we came around 7 PM, and let me tell y’all… getting here right at the start of dinner service is definitely the way to go! We had the same waitress as before, and she was consistently amazing once again attentive, friendly, and on top of everything. Drinks and food came out smoothly, and everything was cooked to perfection. For appetizers, we had the fried cheese and sushi nachos both were delicious and full of flavor. We shared the Round Man Platter, which came loaded with shrimp, flounder, oysters, chips, and a crab cake and it did not disappoint. Every bite was fresh, crispy, and seasoned just right. Whaley’s totally redeemed itself and earned that 5 stars from us. We

I like this place and the food is good. If you are not a smoker or turned off by smoking and/or vaping, then know that they do not permit either in the outside seating area. Service is good and the atmosphere is rustic Edisto. If you are a fan of crab cakes, then I highly recommend trying the ones here! Enjoy!!!
