What locals are saying
The Pineapple Hut is a well-loved Folly Beach staple founded in 2019, known for its dairy-free, vegan pineapple soft serve and rotating seasonal flavors like cherry and pomegranate — often served in a real pineapple. Locals and regulars consistently praise the authentic tropical flavor, friendly staff, and reasonable prices, with no major controversies surfaced. The main friction points are limited seasonal hours (Fri–Sun only in slower periods) and occasional crowding with minimal seating, though neither significantly mars the experience.
