Dishing at St. Helena Island’s Seaside Bar & Grill
"Ask anyone who’s a come ya or a bin ya in Beaufort (if you have to ask, you are probably a come ya) about one of their favorite things about living in paradise, and you’ll often hear, “the scenery.” The pluff mud and feeding egrets and herons of the marshlands, the draping Spanish moss on centuries-old live oaks, the antebellum architecture, and so much more. And that’s especially true on a drive along Highway 21 toward Hunting Island."
Owned and operated by Monty and Bellinda (Bell) White, two locals who were born and raised in St. Helena and Port Royal, respectively, the restaurant in the former Boondocks is an ode to the Lowcountry we love. “Our food epitomizes the spirit of the Lowcountry, creating brotherhoods over supper and invoking the nostalgia that keeps us grounded,” says Monty.
With a mix of tourists visiting the area and locals from Dataw, Fripp, Harbor Island, St. Helena, Lady’s Island, Beaufort, and beyond, the restaurant is a melting pot of diners on any given day. “There are few

things that people from such diverse backgrounds can share together,” reflects Monty. “One of them is coming together to enjoy good food and each other’s company.”
Being a chef in the Beaufort area for a long time, including his most recent post at Lady’s Island Country Club, Monty brings his many years of experience to Seaside Bar & Grill, with a focus on seafood and Southern classics like liver and onions (he still prepares it the way his grandmother did), Lowcountry boils, grilled or fried fish and shrimp, pastas and more.
