The Ryder Cup - Kiawah Island

If you're visiting Kiawah Island, dining at The Ryder Cup Bar for lunch or dinner is a must. Make sure to secure a table on the porch; the views are breathtaking, the food is delightful, and the staff is exceptional. Price per person: $20–30. Food: 5/5, Service: 5/5, Atmosphere: 5/5.

This is a delightful place to enjoy a cocktail and a light snack on the porch, offering a beautiful view of the 18th green of the Ocean Course. Even though it was quite busy, our server, Dominique, checked on us frequently and offered helpful recommendations. Although we didn't have a full meal, we noticed several groups around us enjoying complete dinners. The bar caters to singles, couples, and families alike. While none of the cocktails stood out as exceptional, the Crispy Shrimp appetizer is an absolute must-try. It's also very family-friendly; we saw many kids practicing on the green while their parents enjoyed their meals.

The view is fantastic at any time of day, but sunset is truly the highlight. Food: 4/5, Service: 5/5, Atmosphere: 5/5.

Such a great vibe with breathtaking views. It’s the perfect lunch/brunch spot. The staff is always super knowledgeable and attentive. It’s a bit more bar food-like but it fits perfect into the vibe. Shrimp appetizer is great. Waldorf chicken salad is my favorite. Cocktails are amazing (the gator bite is a must try). Best to sit outside if there is availability. Food: 4

Had an amazing meal here! The view and atmosphere cannot be beat. We were staying at the Sanctuary but worth a trip even if you're somewhere else on Kiawah. The view of the golf course and the ocean was beautiful. They have chairs on the lawn for you to sit, have a drink, and watch the sunset when you're done. Everything we ate and drank was delicious would consider it elevated bar food.
