Blu Beach Grill - Folly Beach

Absolutely lovely, all the way around. Beautiful view, great location (parking is a little tough), good service, and delicious, simple, fresh food. The trio of guacamole, salsa and queso was very nice. The roasted cauliflower appetizer was a real standout! Fish and seafood was fresh and very good and the fried chicken sandwich was a good sized portion and flavorful. Steak was excellent. Wines were pretty well chosen and the key lime pie was very good (and very tiny). Definitely a great place to go, relax, enjoy the ocean view and the food.

We visited Blu Beach Bar Grill while we were in Folly Beach during this winter and couldn’t have found better choice. Folks there were super friendly and the place was empty because we arrived when the restaurant opened, which was great for us. Savored tasty dishes and enjoyed the beautiful view of Folly Beach.

We came to town for our anniversary. This is the restaurant we chose for our anniversary dinner. We had requested specific seating with our reservation but they could not accommodate as originally promised. This was because a private party that was supposed to have ended a half hour before did not leave on time. . . So why did I give five stars? (1) knowing what happened with the private party they went out of their way to accommodate us and make sure we were happy and comfortable with the subsequent seating. After everything was handled, the manager came by personally to make sure that everything was okay and to ask if he could do anything else to make it better. (2) the food was truly phenomenal. My wife says this was her favorite meal on our whole trip. I never expect anybody to be perfect. It's great when they are, but we are all human. In my mind, the best way to judge a business is, when there is a problem, how do they handle it and what do they do to make things right. To that end, the staff and manager here did a phenomenal job. Pictures were taken just after we started. . . We had each already had a bite before we remembered to take pictures. . . But the presentation was so good we still wanted to take the pictures.

This is the restaurant in the Tides Hotel. The service was spot on, attentive and polite. Nice choices on the menu. Food came out in a timely manner. We don’t have one complaint. We thoroughly enjoyed our last night here at the hotel.

Steaks were decent, swordfish good, as was the salmon salad and steak skewers. Calamari was decent and nacho appetizer was basic for the kids. Outdoor and indoor dining available.... patio next to pool is a little loud and detracts from the nice sunsets. Service good for the times (summer 2021). Walked from neighborhood with street parking a few blocks away. Turtle cheesecake for desert was better than the local ice cream shop.
