What locals are saying
Bert's Market is widely regarded as a beloved Folly Beach institution and community anchor — the only grocery on the island, open 24/7/365, drawing an eclectic mix of surfers, retirees, locals, and tourists alike. Regulars swear by the Wooden Spoon deli sandwiches, the $0.75 hot dogs, free coffee, and one of the better craft beer selections (100+ local and micro brews) on the Charleston coast. The main consistent gripe is that prices run higher than chain stores, but most locals shrug it off as the unavoidable cost of island convenience and unique character.
On socials
TikTok creators consistently flag Bert's Market as a Folly Beach must-stop, with breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and handcrafted deli subs getting the loudest praise — one TikToker called it 'the best place to pick up a handcrafted sandwich and some snacks before a perfect beach day.' The 24/7 open-always angle and the famous $0.75 hot dogs (with house-made chili) are recurring talking points, and the Beer Cave with 100+ local and micro brews gets repeated shoutouts as the ideal post-beach wind-down pick.
