The Best Restaurants in Johns Island, by the Record
Johns Island has sent exactly one place into the record so far: Wild Olive, honored by Condé Nast Traveler.

Rank 1. Wild Olive
Italian
A roadside Italian restaurant on the drive out to Johns Island that rewards slowing down. The menu turns with the seasons, so regulars come back often enough that the staff tends to recognize them. Pasta, charred octopus, and vegetables sourced from local farmers the chef has worked with across a long Charleston career all show up regularly. The room handles birthdays, date nights, and mothers with equal composure.
