The location is almost exactly halfway between Beaufort and Hunting Island in an area of St.Helena Island known as “Frogmore.”
Let’s take a step into this destination restaurant and get a feel for the amazing atmosphere as well as the outstanding traditional gullah cuisine. After, we’ll take a look at some area must-see attractions you can hit before, or after, you fill up at Gullah Grub on St. Helena Island.
Gullah Grub is practically an institution by now. Step inside to the aroma of traditional island fare and a casual inviting atmosphere featuring unique decor on the interior walls that are adorned with local artwork.
Order up anything on the menu. It's all good. Gullah Grub has been featured in Martha Stewart's "Living" and visited by television icon Anthony Bourdain in his series, "No Reservations."
Also, just a short 11 miles to the east is South Carolina's most popular state park: Hunting Island State Park. It's an excursion that's totally worth the drive and the small admission fee.
The grounds of this historic lighthouse offer much in the way of exploration. There are several outbuildings as well as four miles of pristine beach that will make you feel like you're a million miles from everything.
It all starts here, at Gullah Grub, a fantastic "destination" restaurant in St. Helena Island's "Frogmore" area.
