About This Place

Situated on the picturesque Palmetto Boulevard in Edisto Island, SC, Coot's Bar & Grill is a vibrant coastal eatery that effortlessly blends the casual charm of a beachside dive bar with the flavorful appeal of a southern-inspired grill. Whether you’re hungry for a satisfying meal after a day in the sun or looking to unwind with quality drinks and a lively atmosphere, Coot’s welcomes you to experience its unique fusion of flavors and island spirit.

The menu vividly captures the essence of Lowcountry cuisine, highlighting fresh seafood and comforting classics that resonate with locals and visitors alike. If you’re enticed by crispy, bold bites, the Fried Pickles and Crab Bites offer a perfect blend of crunch and savory richness, delivering that quintessential coastal snap. For heartier appetites, the Shrimp Po'Boy and Flounder Sandwich are standouts, generously filled with tender seafood and seasoned just right to harmonize with the fluffy buns and crispy fries tailor-made for satisfying indulgence.

Those craving something a little different can dive into the White Chicken Pizza or the zesty Buffalo Chicken Wrap, where smoky, tangy, and cheesy notes meet in every bite. The Bang Bang Shrimp Taco offers an exciting kick, perfectly combining spice and creaminess for a taste that lingers pleasantly long after the first mouthful. From the crispy Jalapeno Poppers to the succulent Fried Shrimp Platter, every dish is crafted to evoke warmth, comfort, and a touch of coastal flair.

But Coot’s is not just about the food—it’s the entire experience that makes it memorable. The bar glows with a true dive bar energy, welcoming guests to come as they are. Imagine sipping a refreshing Margarita or savoring the dangerously delightful Tequila Punch while the waves crash just beneath the deck, creating a mesmerizing soundtrack to your meal. The waterfront views are nothing short of spectacular, offering an almost cinematic backdrop where guests can watch pelicans glide effortlessly above the marina’s shimmering waters.

True to its island roots, Coot's offers a laid-back yet lively atmosphere. As several guests have enthusiastically noted, the outdoor area allows for pet-friendly dining—a rare find on Edisto Island—that brings an added layer of warmth and community. The staff embodies southern hospitality: friendly, attentive, and energetic, enhancing the experience with genuine smiles and skillful service. One guest even marveled at an individual bartender managing the lively crowd solo, proving Coot’s commitment to exceptional service even on their busiest nights.

Whether you're stopping by for their famed cold beers, craving a plate of fried goodness, or eager to soak in some of the best sunset views on the island, Coot's Bar & Grill offers a true taste of Edisto: relaxed, savory, and vibrantly social. On a chilly day with snow on the beach, or during the bustling summer rush, it remains a beloved spot to savor classic coastal fare and make lasting memories.

    This is one of the few places on the Island to eat ocean front. Pets are allowed outside. The main hook is the bar for those interested. The food.... Meh! The server lady... more than excellent.

    We were in Edisto for vacation & we were looking for a bar. Not many places in Edisto are open past 9pm but we found Coots & so glad we did! There was karaoke when we went & that was so fun. Very lively energy & our bartender was amazing. (Can't remember her name but she was working alone & killing it & I told her she was kicking ass!!) drinks were good, I will always prefer my vodka redbull over the speciality drinks though. Definitely recommend coming here & we will be back the next time we come to Edisto!

    This is a great bar. It had some great feel, classic dive bar with friendly staff. Fried food but all was so good. View is amazing being right over the water

    I liked Coots … a lot. Perfect beach dive. Beer was cold, sun was shining, food was over sauced (and that’s not a bad thing). Deck is splendid. Don’t expect to get a table on the deck in season. The waves crash right under you - feels like you are on a pier almost. Sit there and just watch the Pelicans go by. Back and forth. Another Bud. Back and forth. Crown on the rocks. Back and forth. I could keep going - you get the idea. If you are expecting fancy - it’s named Coots - drive into Charleston. Coots is so perfectly Edisto. Never change ya ole Coot Edit: Porch is dog friendly - inside may be too - not sure.

    Great atmosphere, service, and food! Views of beach all around. Had the shrimp po boy and my husband had buffalo chicken wrap, excellent! Both came with fries which were also very good. Waitress was Awesome! Was so happy to see they were open after our walk on the snow covered beach…yes snow. Edisto beach got like 5”of snow! Thanks Coot’s!

    We went here during a rainy day at Edisto Beach with our 3 kids (1, 4 and 6 years old). The inviting staff let the kids roam the room, dance to songs and then sit silently as they chowed down on delicious foods. We will be back for kid karaoke Thursday this week!
