As the ornery little sister to The Royal American, The Bounty Bar brings the same irreverent attitude to Folly Beach. This is the spot at which both beloved locals and savvy visitors enjoy delicious, thoughtfully prepared food, all day and all night. On the weekends, the sounds of live music spill onto Center Street from our fully equipped stage. No matter the time of year, The Bounty Bar is here to help Keep Folly Weird.

Called into The Bounty Bar on our final evening in Folly. Next time we come to Folly we will make sure to visit again. Kinda dark inside with a dive-bar vibe – in a good way! Loved the decor, friendly and fast service, good range on food and drink menus – even catering for your dog! It was quiet at the time we visited (August – 2 days after the kids finished their summer break) and pretty early evening, but there was still had a good atmosphere with music which was at a loudish but comfortable volume. We had a burger and Philly cheese steak both with sides of fries. Portions were huge, food was super hot and tasty. Choose your own table on arrival and order food at the bar. We rated 4 out of five for the food based on that it was very good, we would definitely eat there again and would recommend, but there was nothing different, surprising or stand-out amazing about it to rate a top five out of five.

This bar is a 10/10; an atmosphere for all. Our drinks were on point. If you’re a food lover, everything we ordered was great; the nachos were amazing, to say the least. We definitely will be returning to this place.

Went here because I read online they offered gluten free buns, turns out they have a whole selection of gluten free options included hand battered chicken fingers which were actually amazing. Will be eating here again and was very happy! Bartender was fantastic and atmosphere was very relaxed and inviting.

Good food and good vibes. Everyone was nice. The atmosphere is fun. Dog friendly inside and even outside. They even have a menu for the pups and my girl got to enjoy a beef patty! Also, it was order at the bar when we went as well

Pam and I had just taken a one-hour walk on Folly Beach where the gods had conspired with gentle breezes, a bright blue sky, and friendly folks to convince us that there was no way it could possibly get any better. But once off the beach and spotting a new Folly establishment called The Bounty Bar, we were to find out how wrong we were to set our expectations so low. The front door beckoned us to come on in. As I opened the door, the first thing that hit me was a bombardment of colorful lights, tastefully put in a context of a flat black background. It took a bit for my pupils to adjust from being out in the bright sun, but as they did I immediately felt the friendliness and informality of this “everyone-knows-your-name” place. I have to say I was impressed that an establishment that had just opened recently seemed to be running like a well-oiled machine.
We ordered ice tea, the fried fish sandwich, the gator po’ boy, some fries, and a salad which was brought to us on the front porch section where we could take in the “passing parade” of humanity enjoying their visit to this funky beach town. Both the fried fish and gator were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The fries were top-notch and the delicious ice tea hit the spot. I guess the only change that I might have made was to have ordered one of their many choices of beer or the renowned frozen rum punch to more closely complement the delicious lunch we had. That will have to happen next time. 🙂
Thank you, Bounty Bar. We will be returning!

Food was excellent and the beer was cold!
The nacho appetizer was great! Only recommendation I would have – if you don’t like lime juice, or limes, ask for it off the platter. Overall, it’s pretty tasty!
The Philly cheesesteak was pretty good, but I would like to see it in a slightly larger roll so the fillings don’t spill out. Overall, I recommend it!
The grilled chicken sandwich is always a safe bet, as are the burgers.
The special at the time of visiting was the fried porkchop sammich. If it is the special of the day, it was also highly recommended.
If you are here for live music and beer, grab yourself some good grub and enjoy the weather!
Seating out front as well as around back – order at the bar!

Today my friends and i were exhausted after a very long day at the beach. The night was relatively young and we all agreed that it was time for dinner. To our surprise on what was once a wonderful Tuesday The Washout was closed so we decided to stop by The Bounty Bar because we figured it would have been a nice dinner to go to as an alternative. We got sat down and we wrote a list of the food that we were going to get and had the Bartender send our order to the back. At the time the bar was not busy as there was about 4-5 tables some with and without food and a couple people sitting at the bar which one of them being a worker! We waited for 30 minutes with zero check ups and after 50 minutes of waiting with just the drinks we got and no refills we finally see the table in front of us get their food. After an hour and thirty minutes we finally got our food after waiting on a Tuesday night. As we were getting our food my friend asked the waiter about his nachos that he ordered, lo and behold they forgot to put in his nachos after waiting all night for food so he had to pick off of our plates instead of getting his own meal. The wings, philly, fries and pulled pork were all equally mediocre in their own ways. We will say that the blackened chicken was very good though, compliments to the chefs! Normally i don’t write reviews on a bad experience at a restaurant but this one in particular was excruciatingly long, disappointing and unacceptable. There are several things that can be fixed to make the experience better but i guess they will see in due time. We will never be coming back here unless we have a few hours to kill and we want to starve. Would not recommend 2/10.

Decent prices, awesome atmosphere, great food, great service!!!!
Came in to try this place out. Not only are the frozen drinks good. But you are definitely getting your moneys worth. Started with the loaded fries you get a whole plate of fries and everything. My boyfriend got the chicken tender plate and oh buddy so much food so juicy and made in house. I got the philly cheese steak the steak was so juicy and tender. Definitely recommend.
