The Woodruff — Restaurant in Charleston

Late night dining option on Johns Island with an amazing menu for food and drinks! The bartender was exceptional and attentive and our food was delish. We actually were expecting smaller portions so we ordered more than we really should have an had tons of leftovers! Appetizers - Bang Bang Shrimp were incredible. Tons of flavor, a little space, and large plump shrimp. We also had the lobster rangoons, good but I think we would try something different next time. Sides- fried Brussels were also good but I felt like they needed more salt and more sauce. Mac n cheese was some of the most rich and decadent I’ve ever had. Main course- scallops and succotash had fantastic flavor and some of the biggest scallops I’ve ever seen in my life. General Tso chicken was a little sweeter and saltier than I’m used to but it was still excellent.

Would absolutely return, and we look...

Do you like a menu options that change seasonally and different specials weekly? Do you enjoy fresh chef made dishes? What do they serve? This is far from the fried, southern only, BBQ style restaurants that you find everywhere. The food is fresh, made in-house, light and they serve all types of food. From dishes like homemade Ramen to clam chowder, to fresh seared tuna salad to charcuterie boards with an abundance selection of meats and cheeses. Oh, they are a wine bar too! I could talk about their amazing selection of wines and spirits. But you should go in for yourself and see! Looking forward...

We love going to the Woodruff! A great place for apps and drinks or dinner and drinks! Derek is an amazing bartender! I asked him to make up a drink for me, it's called Sylvie ☺️ It's lavender simple, grapefruit, vodka, prosecco and rose water 💗 The food is great and they change up the menu with different food items or specials weekly. We love the ahi nachos, chicken lettuce wraps, bang bang shrimp and the Mongolian beef, pretty much anything you order is going to be delicious! They also have really cute T-shirts available...
