Bert's Market

You can't beat Berts. It's undeniably the best spot on Folly. Just local goodness from the food to the people to the feeling of the place itself. Everyone loves Berts! My favorite thing about Berts is that you never know what you'll find. They have so many fun things from local kombucha to ice cream shaped like a chicken drumstick to the best selection of delicious pies I've ever seen!

Bert’s Market is the true heart of Folly Beach keeping the locals and vacationers going 24/7 with their wide selection of groceries, gifts and apparel, ice cream, and fresh made food. The staff is always friendly and patient with all the different clientele that pass through. Whether you need a shirt or pick up a book, to make dinner, have them make you dinner, grab a drink, or a treat, Bert’s is the place to be.

Bert’s is the best market anywhere. Supplies, snacks, hot food, ice cream and it’s always open 24-7! It’s the heart of Folly.

Overall good vegan food…. I would have given this a 5 star rating if the goddess wrap actually included goddess dressing. I could taste the hummus but there was no goddess dressing; so the wrap was less flavorful than expected. The produce in the wrap was very fresh though, and a very nice presentation; well wrapped. I’d definitely try it again!

One of those places that had to have grown organically, because it's got such an eclectic mix of things that it couldn't have been planned out. Good breakfast sandwiches, high end soaps, guitar strings, and tourist kitsch, among other stuff. When we were there, clientele was an equal mix of landscapers and construction workers on their way to work, white collars heading into Charleston, and sorority girls on spring break. Very egalitarian seeming.

Convenience store just a few steps away from the beach. Has about any grocery item you would need. Even has some toiletries and items like sunscreen. Pretty reasonably priced as well. Also has a small deli inside where you can get fresh made wraps or sandwiches. Great little store to stop by for all your needs before a day out on the beach.

Went in to grab some caffeine this morning. And the shelf said all 8.4 oz Red Bulls were 2.99. Grabbed one and went to the cashier. Well it rang up 40 cents more. I mentioned the shelf showed 2.99. And she looks over her shoulder and you can see it does show that very clearly on the shelf. Her response was “oh. We don’t go off those prices. We go off what they ring up as.” How is that even legal? Why have prices not up to date on the shelf? Here I wanted to help a small business instead of a corporate gas station. And this is the experience I got. The places isn’t that big. And it was a quiet morning. No one else in line. KYARRA the cashier needs some more training on customer service. I can’t believe a store run like this has such good reviews. I would give zero stars if I could. Definitely false advertising. Something shady with their business practices.

My family goes to Bert's at least once a week to grab 'treats'. Ice cream, cakes ters, and specialty drinks are generally what we buy there. It is also a great place to grab a quick sandwich in a pinch. Never really relied on them for groceries, but if you're only in town for a week, they've probably got all you will need. This place is a must-go for anyone visiting Folly and also a great stop for locals to frequent.

Great selection of food! A mini grocery store with warm food (sandwiches) and some fresh vegetables. Small store and the line can get long very quickly but moves fast. The 3 star rating is because the prices are seriously jacked up. Taking advantage of the location with tourists and the liquor store next door I am sure. I get it, but maybe not a place Locals could afford to shop at on a regular basis. But, overall still a great little store!

Great shop! Super friendly! The breakfast was great! The booze/wine selection were great too! Came by multiple times during our stay! Easy place to get anything you need for a stay in Folly!

I have been a regular at Bert's Market for many years, always enjoying the friendly and chill staff. However, my recent visit was extremely disappointing. I went to buy a beer, water, and a chicken sandwich when the young cashier, with a ponytail, abruptly asked for my ID and didn't even give me a chance to respond before refusing to sell to me without any explanation. I found out later that is name is Colton. I am unsure of the spelling. Frustrated, I went to another register with an older, more relaxed employee. While checking out, the first cashier, Colton, called for a "code 37" over the radio, and another employee with a ponytail came over to question me rudely about my ID, accusing it of being fake. Their behavior was completely uncalled for and disrespectful, especially since I am clearly over 21. Before this encounter, Colton was yelling at the customers in the market to checkout with him or at the other register (Literally yelling). No one was even ready to checkout. This kind of power trip is unacceptable. Until these two employees are no longer there, Bert's Market has lost my business. Very disappointed in how such a great place can be ruined by a couple of rude staff members.

Cool little 24 hour corner store in downtown folly beach. You can find literally anything there which is fun. We came for the 75 cent hotdog and ice cream. I love that they keep the buns warm underneath! they had a whole area devoted to sandwiches and other food options, snacks, wine and other random things you need in a beach town. Unfortunately they ran out of the double Oreo by the time we went hubby was super bummed, but the strawberry was still good. I got cappuccino on a waffle cone and it was tasty. It was $5 for one scoop, is that normal? Or am I just cheap when it comes to ice cream cones lol either way I'll be back for the hotdogs and it's a cool spot. The guys behind the counter were nice and very efficient!

You can never go wrong at Bert's! Want to stop in and play piano while you grab a bottle of wine, free coffee, mozzarella sticks, sandwiches, or any grocery items you could think of? Do it here. Want to do that at 2am? No problem. Want your dog to jump on the counter for pets and treats? Idk, maybe you shouldn't, but you can! The most eclectic little beach grocery store to ever exist and I love every second of it. Of course, prices are going to be higher than one of the chain grocery stores over the bridge, but they're worth it.

Bert's IS the 'go to' spot in Folly Beach. Coffee is FREE and they are open 24/7. 'We May Doze, But We Never Close' is their tag line This is the closest grocery store to Folly Beach, the Harris-Teeter is about 2 miles North on Folly Road. They have a good selection of dry goods and meats, over the counter drugs and cleaning supplies. A nice selection of wines and large selection of beers, even Delirium Tremins. They have a good selection of hot prepared foods, like cheeseburgers and breakfast burritos as well as wraps. The Hot Dog station is very popular so you can fix your own with all the fresh condiments and it's only $1.00, a deal that can't be beaten. They have two large ice boxes out front and plenty of off street parking.

Bert's is the only market in town in Folly and it never closes .... It was busy every time I went in. They have a small market for food and sell beer and wine. They do a big sandwich and carry out business as well. Not exactly a foodie experience but it got 5 stars because they have 24 hour $1 hot dogs you self serve with all the fixings including chili, cheddar cheese and onions. Once I discovered this I was in trouble! They were nice big franks and the fixings were really good. I am pretty sure it is a requirement to be a stoner to work here and all the people are the best!!!!

This.place.....so much to say. It's not what you'd expect at all but is everything. It's a convenience store, an ice cream shop, a deli, wine shop. Everything you need at the beach. The service was fast which is also appreciated. It's a small store but has essentials that you might need on island.

If you're on the island, this is by far the most convenient place to get whatever you need. Even the Circle K up to the strip a little does not have things like laundry detergent. The fresh sandwiches and breakfast are also pretty solid. It's not going to blow you away, but it will satisfy you in a pinch. Baked goods are not brought in daily for my experience. This is typical for an island.

This was my third time to Folly and I have to admit that the sandwiches are a hidden gem in this beach town. My favourite is their Italian sub. Along with the deli, this place has all the staples you need.

Food so good. Service super good. and there is ice cream the best place always had ice cream. Ambiance good.

It's a beach market, so the prices are kinda crazy, but beyond that it's a great place to grab most anything you need + a yummy grill, deli and ice cream. Over the course of our stay, we got the bagel, egg, turkey bacon and cheese sandwich - it was pretty good. Much better once we got a side of their fresh yummy salsa. Later, we also got the Southwest wrap and it hit the spot. The breakfast burrito is also good! I'd say that was the best of all 3.

I just spent $45 on two packs of smokes and three pieces of pie. Best money spent this week highly recommend Mississippi mud, caramel cheesecake, and key lime

It a affordable convenient store in Folly with some great simple breakfast sandwiches . My husband and I do hit the beach early to one- avoid traffic and the crowd. Two to ensure our dog gets a good walk ( summer time puppies can only be there till 10) and 3) waters are much calmer in the morning for my husband to SUP surf. This is a good spot that is super affordable and open early for a simple breakfast also if you forgot something during your holiday travel that you think you might need this is your spot.

When I think of a sandwich shop this is exactly what I'm looking for. The ability to call ahead and pickup was a nice perk. Their pricing for the quality and speed cannot be matched in Folly.

This is located right in Folly Beach and they have everything from food, candles, wine, housewares, groceries you name it. A very friendly atmosphere full of southern hospitality. And there's free complimentary coffee!

Apparently this is the only market on the island. It is clearly unique and a real Folly Beach treasure. They have an incredibly diverse assortment of products as well as a Grill making burgers, sandwiches, wings and much more. They are Open 24 7 and always have customers inside. Tim, one of the associates, appears to really enjoy life, and he brightens the day of each customer who enters.

Fun, eclectic, 24-hour grocery store, eatery, and souvenir shop. The staff is friendly and knowledgable. We got ice-cream to go and it was amazing.

This place is amazing, crazy hippie vibe, large selection of the stuff you want plus stuff you didn't know you wanted but now have. It's almost a destination unto its self. Oh yea and free coffee!

Bert's is quite an experience. The motto for this small town local grocer is "we don't close, we just doze." They are open 24 hours carrying most grocery needs. They also carry prepared foods such as roasted chickens, sandwiches and some amazing-looking single serving deserts. The locals say the foods are great. The clerk was super friendly and helpful. They look like they hustle all day, serving the beach crowd. We picked up shampoo and conditioner. Prices are on the high end, but you are paying for convenience of beach shopping from an independent.

Nice market, has all you need. I was surprised to find a market, but I'm glad I did. It had everything I was looking for. I found fresh pastries I couldn't resist. There is also a fresh sandwich section. I did not try any sandwiches, but maybe next time. Stop in, I am sure Bert's has what you need.

Berts is a staple on Folly. Been coming since before Berts when it was Tom and Jerrys. I bought candy then and booze now. It is quite a different atmosphere in the winter but still a great spot to go when on Folly. I got a couple sandwiches from the Wooden Spoon the other day and they really were nothing to write home about. I think they do better under pressure when there's a line out the door. i understand basil might not be in season but basil flakes in place of basil just didn't cut it on the panini. The cheese was pretty boring too. Guess I'm not suited for a vegan Sammy. Oh well, hopefully next time is better!

This place is fantastic. Grocery store is great but the food options are even better. Great for those that have kids and don't want to take them to a restaurant for every meal. Can get a cheap hot dog, corn dog, burger, fries, mozzarella sticks, etc. visited multiple times during our trip.

After going to the pier for sunrise, we stopped by Bert's for breakfast. Our original plan was to get dairy free milk (which they have) and take it back for cereal... then we saw the fresh made bagel breakfast sandwiches! We both got the egg, turkey bacon, and cheese bagel. My spouse ordered theirs without cheese, and we didn't realize until we were back to our place that it had cheese. They ate it anyway and didn't seem to have a bad reaction to it. They were also stoked to see the boiled peanuts, so we grabbed some snacks while we waited for our sandwiches to be made. The cashier, cooks, and other staff were super friendly. The store isn't super fancy; however, there is a decent selection of groceries and fresh food--including vegan items. Let's not forget the free coffee!

Really liked the vibe of this place. It's a block away or so off the main road into Folly Beach, so it was super convenient to get regular provisions and snacks. I was a bit tired of the fried southern food offerings from neighboring restaurants, so picked up a sandwich from here for lunch, which was great!

Bert's IS Folly Beach. Every reason that you love Folly will be the same reasons that you love Bert's. Come as you are. Located right off the strip...but not too far. 24 hours. Anything you could possibly need (or want) at the beach, both ready-made and to order food, and a staff who are simultaneously overwhelmed AND friendly. How can a beach general store be so small and STILL have everything that you need? We go to Bert's almost every time we go to Folly. Odd ends, lotion, sandwiches, and [wink] booze. This last weekend, we tried the whole pressed roast beef ranchero sandwich. Very tasty. Our only complaint is that we wanted more. The best thing about Bert's is that you can be in there for 3 minutes or 30 minutes and feel like a Folly local. In fact, you'll see many of the same locals there, weekend after weekend, just hanging out. Grab a dog (or three), a sixer, and some chips. Roll back to the beach for the next few hours. Then, swing by Bert's for some more sunscreen, water, and anything you may need for the evening. They have it. We love you, Bert. Thank you for adding so much convenience and joy to our beach weekends!

I just had the best Buffalo chicken wrap of my life. If you like it saucy with crunchy chicken and chunky blue cheese, you gotta try it. This place has everything you could need for a beach vacation. Snacks, drinks, beers, sunscreen, and more. Staff is always friendly, 10/10.

Super torn on this one! The crew wants to go with a 2.5 but.... Whole #s only :) PROS: the selection is GREAT, not only do they have an awesome variety of beach snacks, they have a great selection of fresh and healthy options as well (also organic). They carry a lot of foods you would find at Marlene's or Whole Foods. They have a great hot bar, sammy selection and ice cream! You can get fresh homemade sweet tea, boiled peanuts, fried foods, etc. CONS: they are severely understaffed so the line can get incredibly LONGGGGGGGGGG!!!! Like frustratingly long. Like.... just way too long! So ya, unfortunately our rating is based on a lot of this problem. The staff is hit or miss as well. Most of the crew seems sweet, but some seem out to lunch and not helpful. Either way it is the only real grocery on the island (well without having to drive a car and then get stuck in the insane traffic), so just make sure you're not in a rush when you go here!

Great vibes, good sandwiches, and nice staff. This is our favorite spot to grab a post surf snack. I'm a big fan of the Italian Sub and cheesecake.

This is a staple! You must come here when you are at FB. They have lots of snacks and food as well. They are famous for their hot dogs. You basically get a hot dog and fill it up with the toppings of your choice for not even $1. You seriously can't beat that. Plus, they have late night hours. We also came here and got breakfast to go one morning and it was pretty good! I highly recommend this place!

We loved loved Berts market - it's open 24 hours and has breakfast, sandwiches, salads and tons of great desserts. We went there every day on our trip because they had everything and we just loved it there. One night there was even a guy playing a piano. Ever folly visit should include a stop at Bert's!

Cute little island store. Everything is just very expensive for the convenience. 3 - 6 packs of craft beer = $53. You read that right. I about died.

One of my favorite places anywhere! Charleston is my second home, where all my family resides, and is very dear to my heart. My dad introduced this gem to me about a decade ago and I get the same elated feelings each time I walk through their doors. And truly, that's all you gotta do to see how cool this place is. We go to Folly beach on the reg for sharks teeth hunting. Before doing so though, we ALWAYS get our grub on at Bert's deli (the Wooden Spoon). I can't stop ordering the veggie melt panini, I love it so much. I did recently try the roast beef panini and that was a serious score too. This place has it all, killer food, snacks galore, drinks, brews, souvenirs, you name it! And shoot, their tag line is "we may doze, but never close", 24/365 days a year they are there for ya. Simply THE coolest spot.

BERT's is the GOAT. Always. They got the best sandwiches whether is 11am or 1am. Great beer selection and the staff are always friendly! Perfect little beach town market.

Ah, Bert's...what can I say that will do this little eccentric, eclectic, down-to-earth, friendly, cool little jack of all trades beach shop justice? To be honest, I will give you some highlights, but you really have to experience Bert's yourself to soak in all its glory! We wondered into Bert's after a night at the nearby Taco Boy, as we needed some more booze and apparently cookies for the house. What we left with was the needed beer and cookies, along with a koozie, some cheese, a scoop of ice cream, sunscreen, a hamburger and a variety of chips. We paid the premium for all these things and we would happily do it again! Bert's isn't your average little market/store, I meant they do carry all the essentials one would need on a beach trip, but they also have a few things that make them different such as a cook to order spot called the Wooden Spoon right beside the register where you can get a variety of things from sandwiches to wraps to burritos, as well as a wide selection of artisan cheeses along with an olive bar, and you can get freshly scooped ice cream and desserts! This place has it all, even individually sold Solo cups. Overall, Bert's was a cool spot, one that has a real Folly vibe to it! While there are no grocery stores on the island, Bert's is a stand out for what you need unless you really want to trek it over the bridge to Harris Teeter. Again, be prepared to pay a little more for the convenience of Bert's, but don't get them confused as a convenience store...because that they are not!

Heading to a beautiful but tiny beach town, I wasn't expecting to find anything like Bert's. A lot of folks would just phone it in when they're literally the only show in town but not Bert's. They've got quite literally anything you can think of AND they stock quality products to boot. On the food side there are lots of locally made goodies, delicious prepared foods, sandwiches and even sushi! We found this amazing Bloody Mary mix and must've gone through a case during the week. They also have a ton of wine, beer, and other dry goods too. Literally anything you could possibly need. Staff is friendly and the place has a real great vibe too. Roll up, walk up, drive or whatever. Shirt and shoes are most likely required! Open 24/7 365.

Only place on Folly open 24/7. Pricey groceries and wine/beer but supply and demand...no other place on Folly that sells beer/wine.

Best burgers in folly island. Do yourself a favor and stop by this 24 hr market!!!!!

You'd be best served verifying that your sandwiches actually the sandwich that you asked for it's a little clueless and lost and it takes 30 minutes for them to make a sandwich. Not great I'm never going back.

A 24/7 convenience store with smoothies, snacks, booze, and sandwiches! A great locals spot for everything you could need at Folly. 10/10 forever!

I love this place. Everyone who stays at a house on the island goes there, or should. The coffee is good, the ice cream has an overpriced but good selection, and you can find just about anything you need to enjoy, clean, or fix your beach rental. Staff is laid-back and friendly. They seem overly casual, maybe, but actually run a tight operation. The food is generally good, what I've sampled. Breakfast bagels, lunch sandwiches, canned beer, t-shirts and laundry detergent. Whatever you need, you need Bert's.

Right off the beach, Bert's made it easy to get a yummy sandwich and drink when we needed it!!

Rude and extremely slow staff. It took me 30+ mins to get a wrap when it was not even busy.

It's Folly's grocery. Good sandwiches. Open 24/7. Complementary coffee. Somehow they've packed a pretty diverse selection of items in those few racks and coolers that make up the store. I'm partial to the readymade bbq sandwiches for like $2.50 lol. Clothes optional? Maybe there's a rule but I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't. It's Bert's. It's the best!

If you're looking for a little store that carries the miscellaneous things you forgot to pack, pick up at the grocery, and so much more... this is your place. It's located in close proximity to everything and it has private parking which is a true commodity here. Currently, they're only admitting a certain amount of people into the store (COVID) but there is a screen that will let you know when you can enter. Masks are required too. Inside you'll find hand dipped ice cream, various toiletries and foodstuff, a deli counter, and souvenirs. I definitely would recommend this place!

Italian sub was amazing! Stopped in after hitting folly, ordered food to go. Was a great sammie after the beach!

The absolute cutest little shop. It's so convenient to the beach and rental homes. They have chilled water bottles for $1, which was surprising compared to other beach shops that insanely inflate prices for things you may need. This place also has anything you could possibly need. We got wine, vinegar, cat food, cheesecake and fresh breakfast sandwiches - so convenient.

The staff is very friendly. They often apologize if you have to wait for something to be made. The sandwiches don't take long to make and are worth the wait. It's a busy store, please be nice to the staff! If you need it, this store most likely has it.
