Food of Folly Part 2

Since we have eaten at so many places on Folly Beach, we decided we needed several posts to tell you about all of the restaurants. So here we are continuing from the last post about the Food of Folly. The next place that we went was a little place called Drop-In Deli and Bar.  It was a small place with a bar and several tables inside and only two small tables out next to the sidewalk.  We sat outside, like we always try to do, and ate our food.  I got myself a sandwich called the Redneck and Malori got a French Dip sandwich.  My Redneck sandwich was a chicken cheese steak sandwich with cheese whiz, bacon, caramelized onions, jalapenos and ranch on an amoros roll.  This is probably one of the cheaper places we went to and the one that stood out to me the most for having unique and good food.  The next time we ate on Folly was when Cortni, Britni and Sebastian visited.  We went down to Snapper Jack’s Seafood and Raw Bar for dinner one of the nights they were visiting.  Malori and I shared a plate of Fish and Chips.  It was a large plate with two big pieces of fried fish and fries.  The fish was delicious as was their tartar sauce!  This place had a large bar area and was not the cleanest place we have been, but we loved the food.  The windows facing the street were able to fold up to open up to the fresh air from Center Street looked like they would be a nice way to get some air in the restaurant.  Since have lived in the Charleston area we have found that brunch is very popular here, especially on Sundays. So Malori picked out a restaurant where she wanted to get some good brunch on Folly.  So we went to Black Magic Cafe.  It was a nice little café with some indoor and outdoor seating.  Unfortunately it was pretty chilly outside, so we sat at a little two person table inside. It was decorated with all kinds of food and beach sings with says on them and had a nice menu of drinks, coffees and lots of food. Malori got (?) and I got the chicken and waffles.  Malori’s plate was a pile of biscuits, pimento cheese, fried chicken, gravy and it was topped with a fried egg. She loved it, but only ate about two thirds of her plate.  We both agreed the fried chicken was delicious! It was nice and crispy but was also very moist and tender. The waffles came with a honey syrup and maple syrup. With the syrups it was pretty sweet, but with the chicken and waffles together and just a light dip in the syrup, it was very good!  Overall…there are many more places we have yet to go to but we’ll make it our goal to try them all.  There is even an Irish place I would like to visit, but it will take us many weekends to get through the rest of the places down there.

 

Food of Folly Part 1

So after spending each weekend trying out a new restaurant in one part of town or another we have eaten at enough places in Folly beach to write a little about them.  The very first one that we ate at when we were apartment shopping back in November was Taco Boy.  This is where we ran into our first seafood tacos.  I got a shrimp taco and a fish taco that were both pretty good.  Malori got a roasted cauliflower taco and Mexican street corn which she loved.  We sat outside on their patio since it was pretty warm and then walked around the shops on Center Street since that was our first time there.  Then about three weeks later Malori’s parents, Kevin and Julie, drove down with me to get our stuff moved and we took them down to Folly and went to Locklear’s Beach City Grill.  This is the restaurant at the top of the pier.  We sat at a table next to the railing so we could see out over the water and down the pier.  There we got some hushpuppies as an appetizer, they were delicious!  Malori got herself the Fried Flounder sandwich and I got the Boardwalk Burger.  The next place we ate was the weekend we ran into the Taste of Folly Beach.  We walked around looking at the food at the festival, but ultimately decided just to try out the Lost Dog Café.  We went there and saw that not only was it a dog friendly restaurant but many people actually brought their dogs with them.  It was a nice place just a block off Center Street and we got a small table out on their patio.  I got myself a Grilled Turkey, Bacon and Swiss Croissant and Malori got a Carmel Iced Latte and a Tomato Mozzarella Pesto Sandwich with some collard greens.  Our food was great and the croissant I got had a heavy load of turkey on it.  This was Malori’s first time getting collard Greens, and she loved them!  We feel that we are becoming true Charlestonians because we have been eating more seafood, rice, and grits.
