Roadside Seafood, at 3966 Betsy Kerrison Parkway, is now open. It 
is a great addition to the restaurants we have at our end of Johns Island.
This is the second location for owner Richard Perrine. The original one is at 807 Folly Road. This family-owned restaurant started in 2012 as a mobile kitchen, now known as a food truck, and is still in operation. In 2016, they opened their Folly Beach location and now in 2018, their much-anticipated location is open on Johns Island.
According to a sign on the door, they were named Best Down-Home Restaurant and Best She Crab Soup by Charleston Magazine. The magazine Only in Your State, as well as Charleston City Paper, reported that they had the best-fried shrimp in the state.
Currently, they are open from 4:30 pm until 8:30 pm for dinner seven days a week. They will also be open for lunch starting at 11:30 am on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays.
They hope to receive their license to sell beer and wine at the beginning of September. Until then, you can bring your own beer and wine.
