Came to grab a bite to eat and wasn’t sure what I wanted. I let the bartender (Paige) provide me with recommendations and she didn’t steer me wrong. I had the combo platter with scallops, grilled flounder; side cheese grits and coleslaw. Not my ideal combination but when I say it was delicious, that is an understatement. Every morsel was flavorful and tasty. No additional seasoning needed. The staff were friendly and personable. Although I was full I grab a piece of crumble caramel cake to go. Would definitely recommend this restaurant. Sit at the bar.

We were staying at The Villages at Wyndham Ocean Ridge and decided to have dinner at Presley’s on Main on a Saturday night around 6:15. It was packed, but thankfully we were able to find seating for our party of three.
We skipped starters. Our table ordered the two “lump” crab cakes with coleslaw and fries, the she-crab soup with a baked potato, and the jumbo shrimp with a baked potato and coleslaw.
Standouts:
• The coleslaw was excellent—creamy with a good celery-seed profile.
• The jumbo shrimp were plentiful and well prepared.
What missed the mark:
• The baked potatoes were fully cooked but not hot, not even enough to melt the butter.
• The she-crab soup had a nice consistency but was overly salty.
• The crab cakes, though decent, didn’t quite match the expectation of true lump crab as advertised.
Service was excellent, but considering the price point, we expected a slightly more elevated dining experience. That said, Edisto is a very small community and we visited in the off-season, so expectations are naturally adjusted.
Would I return while staying at Ocean Ridge? Probably not, as I’d try other options first — but I’m glad we had the chance to support a local business.

Absolutely impressed. I walked in 40 minutes to closing and ran across FOH talking to BOH if they can start closing up. I caught the bartenders attention asked if I could put a simple appetizer order in to go. She said she just said the kitchen could start closing. It was slow, I get it, work BOH more years/hrs I want to admit. She asked, they’re like sure. Order was completed super fast and has been delicious. They could have said no like 2 others I had tried well before their closing times. Definitely have a repeat customer from now on. I come to Edisto bi-weekly and have for the last year and a half. Good show!!! Also, massive portion.

We come here every year for our yearly visit to Edisto and we always look forward to eating at Pressley’s.
Unfortunately, this particular time was off a bit.
Our waitress was nice and worked to take care of things while it was clear that the restaurant was busy. I did have to ask for my tea a second time. Also, when the main courses came to the table, the kitchen had not finished mine and I had to wait while others were eating.
The atmosphere is visually okay with a beautiful view of the water, which I highly recommend taking a look before and/or after your meal.
The biggest thing about the space is that it’s extremely tight and people are constantly bumping into chairs and other people. Please know that when it’s the employees – I was disappointed they didn’t apologize for kicking the chairs as they served food.
Finally, the food –
As I said before, we eat here each year we come to town.
They started us out with barbecue pork rinds, which is new and they look good on the table. However, ours were dry, cold, and we had not yet received our drinks.
Next we had ordered the bacon wrapped scallops, which are served with a remoulade sauce and I had heard these were good. Unfortunately, these were dry and overcooked.
We also ordered hush puppies, which came out nice and hot with whipped butter. These are sweet to the taste, which is not what I prefer but that doesn’t mean they were bad. In fact, these went fast at our table!
Finally, I opted for the blackened swordfish special, with coleslaw and cheese grits. I had asked if the baked potato could come loaded and I was informed that they don’t do that anymore.
The cheese grits were yummy and the best thing of the night! The coleslaw is good.
FYI – I’m a fan of swordfish because it can be better than a steak when well prepared but on this night – I was very disappointed!
As the special of the night, I expected it to be a fresh catch but this fish tasted FISHY!
And if you are asking yourself “shouldn’t it taste like a fish because that’s what you ordered?” This fish was not fresh and most certainly should not have been offered as the special. I tried to add lemon juice but this just didn’t work and flavour was bad.
This was my first time being completely disappointed about the entire dining experience in all my years coming here.

Respectfully, I don’t know what has changed at Pressley’s but I hope this was just an off night or I worry that this long standing restaurant could eventually close.

Excellent date night spot! During busy times, definitely do a reservation. But we went, it was a Sunday afternoon and not busy at all. We thoroughly enjoyed the flounder bites, stuffed flounder, sea bass and the banana, caramel cheesecake desert!
You have to enter through the golf course security gate by the Windam. Check on with security for a pass.

This is a smaller restaurant, but it’s definitely worth the wait. We enjoyed the outside area as we waited about an hour for our table. We had a party of eight so we did have to wait a bit. Food was incredible. Highly recommend the calamari and hush puppies as appetizers.

Got into town late and Edisto does not have any on-island delivery. I got here half hour before closing and they got me a great cheeseburger to go. While I waited, the staff were friendly and the owner took care of checking the order status. Cannot praise the highly enough.

Our experience was mixed.
We ordered calamari as an appetizer, and it was hands down the worst I’ve ever had — overpriced for how little you get, extremely chewy, barely fried, and served with marinara in a little plastic packet container like you’d get at a fast-food place. Absolutely unappetizing.
On the bright side, the bang bang shrimp our friends ordered was delicious. For mains, my boyfriend had the flounder sandwich, which was generous in portion, tasty, and fairly priced. I had the chicken piccata — while the flavor was good, the portion was shockingly small for $30. A tiny piece of chicken, very little pasta, and a burned piece of “garlic bread” with no garlic taste at all.
Our waitress was wonderful, but between the disappointing calamari and the overpriced portions, we left feeling the value just wasn’t there.

Service was phenomenal. Food was good quality, but a bit pricey for some of the items. The grits were fantastic. The views were incredible! Plan to arrive early if you want to eat without a super long wait!
Edit: Came back Sept. 2025. Tried the fried flounder and it was definitely the best I’ve had on Edisto! Service was still great!
I would pass on hushpuppies next time because they were good, but not the best for the price of an app. I would try a different appetizer.

This is a place we always look forward to eating at when we vacation to Edisto. Such a fun atmosphere, EXCELLENT food, and the servers are kind and attentive. This year, we had to wait for two hours after arriving. We hung out on their dock patio while listening to live music and having a drink from their dock bar. This ended up being one of our favorite things we did during the trip. Of special note food-wise: Parmesan-Encrusted Grouper, GRITS (!!), and the chocolate cheesecake. Can’t wait til next time!
