Islander 71 is a nod to the easy going beach life of the Isle of Palms in the 1970’s. Taking you back to when kids rode bikes freely, Dads drank beer on the beach and Moms sunbathed to a golden brown. Afternoons were spent crabbing on the dock, or catching Reds at flood tide. Dinner was a gathering time for friends and family to share succulent seafood and fruity drinks. Laughter and good vibes were in the air as the sky turned into a mango sunset. Welcome to Islander 71.

- KRKathy R1 day ago4.0First time in Mt Pleasant/Charleston area. My family really enjoyed the shrimp po boys and blackened fresh flounder sandwiches. Our server was fantastic. Great atmosphere too sitting outside and watching the water.
- TTTyrra Townsend1 day ago3.0Yesterday was my first visit to Island 71 and I can honestly say I'm not impressed with the seafood. (Something the Low country of Charleston is mostly known for). Though it was good I've had better at a more reasonable price. Kelsey was an amazing server and she didn't miss anything when it came to taking care of the party of 15+. Unfortunately, the biggest flaw about this restaurant is that a party of 8 or more they only do one check or can split the check evenly while only being able to use up to 4 credit cards. We didn't know this was the case until after we have already ordered our drinks. Please be mindful of this!!!!!! It's not a place I would recommend being a native to the low country.
- SDSuhas DhekaneNov 12, 20254.0We did advanced booking as the place is very busy specifically during weekends and Game days. Our seats were ready when we arrived. The service as expected was a bit slow. The view from where we were seated was great. Food, beverage and dessert were all average as opposed to the hype. We enjoyed Shrimp Po' Boy, Lobster Roll, Crab fries and She Crab Soup along with salad and desserts.
- DADavid AyresNov 11, 20253.0I was really excited to see this location re open. It had always been a favorite while visiting isle of palm and Charleston. It had been closed for several years. Maybe we just got a poor waiter. He spilled our cocktails on the table and looked like he wasnt sure what to do. We had to ask him to clean it up. His shoes looked like he had just mucked a horse barn. A bit off putting. I hope a manager sees this. You all have an incredible location. I felt like no one was trying or setting any expectations for the staff
- LSLogan SickelsOct 20, 20252.0The seafood boil is just overcooked shrimp and mushy potatoes with a piece of corn. It is definitely not what we are used to here in South Carolina and was very cheaply done. There is no onions or sausage or .... flavor. Absolutely not worth the money. The blue crabs were also meh. Still great atmosphere and location. We do frequent there oyster roasts which are done right. But dang for as much as they advertised the seafood boil, we were sure disappointed.
