We've been regulars at Coconut Joe's since they opened in 1997. We always pop in for a meal when in the Charleston area. The food is better than your average beach joint and the views are gorgeous, especially at sunset. The restaurant is set high above the dune line. Joe's has live music on the rooftop bar most days that... More

It's nothing fancy. it's like a normal beach fish shack & decor is colorful eclectic. The food was good. Service was ok. They sat us right away inside. It was about a 20-30 minute wait for outside seating. It was a beautiful sunny day.

Thought we would give Coconut Joe's a try but wish we hadn't. There is a terrible smell on the inside and it is very dirty. The bathroom was disgusting. The bartender was not personable at all. They were supposed to have live music at 630pm but there was none. Their hamburgers are like the frozen angus burgers you can buy... More

The food is great. The decor is really funky and just fun. If you go on Thursday there's Reggae on the roof! Kick back, enjoy the atmosphere & have a grand time!

Went with friends on a rainy day and sat outside on the small deck. The plastic was shielding us from the wind, but we were still able to enjoy watching surfers do their thing in the rain. We started with the Coconut Shrimp. When it arrived at the table I thought "Uh oh, too brown, over cooked." but when I... More

I ordered the seafood platter and requested that it was cooked spicy. I told the waitress that I do not like to add hot sauce to my food after it is cooked. She claimed that she "totally understand". The food came out looking like someone regurgitated a bottle of orange barbecue sauce on it. The plate was full of soggy... More

We pulled in after a 600 mile drive from Ohio. Weather was cold, gray, dreary and rainy. Just perfect! :) The place was not crowded in the least so we sat by the windows looking over the beach. Our waitress (Tabitha?) was great. Was happy to give us menu advice as well as what to do in the area. On... More

Not what we expected. Don't be fooled by the beach front. The managers there are absolutely horrible. Not a friendly place to eat. The outside patio is not that great, you can barely see the scenery through those plastic flaps, can't even eat on the rooftop. Service is extremely slow, the inside is filthy and looks unsanitary. They need to... More

We had reservations but still had to wait 45 mins. When we did get seated the food was good and service was wonderful.

Coconut Joe's is a great diverse restaurant! Kid-friendly restaurant and roof-top bar overlooking the beach. Price is expected (you are on an island sitting with a view of the ocean). Service staff is fast and friendly. This is a family owned restaurant and the owners are friendly. Food was delicious! After your meal, head down to Island Joes for an... More
