Rita’s Seaside Grille – Nacho Ordinary Beach Food

Hi, I’m Anna Marie. I’m a wife, mother, Irish dancer, and pug mom living in North Carolina. I also love to travel. Come along for the ride! If you see something you like, don’t be afraid to say, ‘Pull over and let me out.’

The South Carolina Lowcountry is renowned for many things, especially its cuisine. While enjoying the sun and surf on a recent writing trip, I happened upon Rita’s Seaside Grille on Folly Beach where I found good food, friendly atmosphere, and the most amazing nachos I’ve ever had.

Nacho Ordinary Nachos

I love nachos. It’s not unusual for me to order nachos as a meal. So, naturally, trying Rita’s Signature Nachos was a must.

In a word, WOW.

Piled high, covered with cheese, tasty red and yellow peppers, giant chunks of fresh tuna, spicy jalapeños, and a surprise to my taste buds – watermelon pico.

I’m not exaggerating when I say, these are the best nachos I’ve tried, and the portion size is tremendous. I needed help with the half order. If you get the full order which comes on a thirteen-inch plate, bring a crowd – it’s made to be shared.

Not Just Nachos At Rita’s Seaside Grille

Though I was on a quest for nachos, I quickly discovered Rita’s Seaside Grille is known for much more than amazing appetizers.

The restaurant opens daily from 8:00 AM until 11:00 PM, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch. Favorites on the menu include; fish and shrimp tacos, crab cake sandwich, grilled salmon, the seaside omelet, and classic burgers. I also sampled the smoked BBQ which is lean and delicious.
