Our roots run deep when it comes to Southern cooking, drawing from family recipes scrawled on cards in plantation kitchens to the modern locavore movement we see today, and relying on South Carolina's natural fresh abundance. Upon opening in 1997, The Boathouse pioneered a focus on serving diverse and delicious seafood that could be found in nearby rivers, lakes, and oceans. Employing this dedication we have grown to become an establishment on the Isle of Palms and a year-round destination for locals and travelers alike, drawing our seafood and produce from local farmers, fisherman, clammers, and shrimpers from around the coast.
Southerners love a good story, and when you visit us, you'll quickly find that indigenous food is a story you can eat!
