Sullivan's Island's Oldest Restaurant and other Sullivans Island, SC Restaurant Reviews

Restaurant Name: Station 22

We were looking for a restaurant where we had dinner last spring, and went across the Ben Sawyer Bridge, turned right and went almost out to the lighthouse. Then we turned around and came back and stopped here.

The decor was interesting - there was wooden wainscoting and above that palmetto trees were painted in tones of brown and green. There were lots of photos on the walls - most b&w of old beach scenes, and there was also some art work. Over the door was a large Santa, a lawn flamingo, and a clock with neon around it (photo 2).

Hanging from the ceiling were some old riding toys (car and fire engine - photo). Strung along the ceiling were strings of lights in various shapes (shamrocks, parrots, sailboats, cocktail glasses, power boats, lighthouses). It was too dark inside to take really good pictures.

Favorite Dish: For starters they gave us four small pieces of pizza (insert)

Bob had a two chicken breasts and mashed potatoes with cheese. I had the pasta of the day for $17. This was shrimp on noodles which also had peas and bacon in it. It was too dark to get a good picture of them. We both had delicious coconut cake for dessert (photo).

They also had a children's menu and there were a lot of children there.

Restaurant Name: POE'S TAVERN

This place was across the street from Station 22 and looked interesting, but did not look like a place for dinner.

Later, when we went to Fort Moultrie, we went here for lunch.

Favorite Dish: The Charleston Post and Courier dining guide (URL below) says:

"Handñcut fries, gourmet burgers, fish tacos, salads, soups, specialty sandwiches. 20 imported & micro brews on tap and broad wine selection. Open Daily. Lunch 11:30 a.m.- 2 p.m. Dinner 6 p.m.-9 p.m."

I had quesidillas, and I think Bob had a hamburger. The children had cheese fries and my son had chili.

Restaurant Name: Sugar Shack

We stopped in here after we finished touring Fort Moultrie and let the kids have some ice cream. They also have beachwear (such as sun glasses, and beach bags) souveniers, and the sign says they have internet access.

In addition to ice cream, Italian ice, smoothees, sundaes, shakes, cocoa, various kinds of gourmet coffee, candy (Nancy's home made Fudge cups), and cookies (cookies, Biscotti and truffles are all $1.29@), they also had hot dogs ($2-2.50), bagels ($2.25-2.50), muffins ($2.95) and sausage/egg/cheese ($2.85) and sweetened or unsweetened tea.

Favorite Dish: I thought it was expensive for the candy, so I didn't get any. The kid's scoup was $1.75 for under 8 years old. The bigger kids had to pay $2.75 for one scoop of ice cream and $3.75 for two. A float or malt was $4.25.

Restaurant Name: High Thyme

We did not eat here - it was next door to the Sugar Shack where we stopped for ice cream. It apparently is a three star restaurant which serves American food and Seafood. It was given two $$.
