The best places to eat in Sullivans Island, according to the experts: AAA, Michelin Guide, and The Infatuation have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. The Obstinate Daughter comes out on top.

Rank 1. The Obstinate Daughter
Coastal Pizzeria
A wood-fired pizza and pasta spot a couple of blocks from the Sullivan's Island beach, up on a second floor where the pale blue seating and bleached wood manage to feel coastal without a single pelican painting in sight. The kitchen pulls from Italian, French, and Spanish influences alongside Lowcountry ones, and the vegetables from local farms make the salads genuinely competitive with the pizza. The chef earned a James Beard semifinalist nod in 2024.

Rank 2. Sullivan’s Fish Camp
Southern Seafood
A retro fish camp on Sullivans Island where the Southern tradition of fried seafood in baskets still anchors the menu, though the kitchen under chef Jason Stanhope has broadened out into local fish crudo, fresh catch, and oysters by the plate. The beverage list leans heavily on crisp whites and tropical cocktails, which makes stopping in for a drink and a dozen oysters an entirely reasonable Tuesday-afternoon decision.
