Hubby and I haven't had such an enjoyable dinner in a long time. Sought this place out on the recommendation of an Edisto resident we met while touring the nearby Hampton Plantation (also highly recommended!). I believe this is a converted bank building on Georgetown's charming Front St. Setting is understated classy, not stuffy, and staff was very welcoming and... More

We had a wonderful lunch and the service was excellent. I would recommend this as the best restaurant on Front Street.

Constantly good. Departure from same old fried food. Grilled grouper with sun dried tomatoes and olives was tasty and healthy. Beautiful interior and the best servers ever.

I loved the ambiance of the place.... from the old brick walls and wooden floors to the white tablecloths and picture windows. The A-frame sidewalk board lured us in with the specials of the day: Charleston Crab soup and Prime Rib sandwich with homemade potato chips. Everything was delicious, service was good and the prices fair. I would definitely go... More

We met friends from Charleston here for dinner. An historic building sets the stage for elegant dining and outstanding cuisine. The old bank vault has been reincarnated as a lavishly stocked wine cellar. There are crisp white linens & prompt knowledgeable servers all in support of an urbane menu. The owners & Chef support local vendors/farmers and create the menu... More

We had been sailing for several days and pulled into Georgetown, SC for a few days. We needed a good meal and that is what we received. Not only was the manager excellent, but our server was as good as they come. We asked to sit in an unmade table in the bar window and they did not skip a... More

Everything at The Rice Paddy is so yummy but there isn't a cheeseburger in the whole world better than theirs! It is the J Burger! Topped with jalapeño pimento cheese, lettuce and tomato and made from ground fillet it melts in your mouth! Just had one today and can't wait for my next one! If you can eat another bite... More

Rice Paddy's is located in downtown Georgetown in an old bank building. If you get a window seat you will have the added benefit of seeing the quaint downtown and get in some people watching while you eat lunch/dinner. Decor is on the more upscale side with unique pieces of art and industrial fixtures.I would imagine that dinner is a... More
