Jack of Cups Saloon

Jack of Cups Saloon opened in 2014 at 34 Center Street in the heart of Folly Beach’s main strip. This vibrant neighborhood favorite blends bold global flavors with laid-back beach-town energy, offering “globally-inspired comfort food made with love.”

Menu Highlights

Jack of Cups is best known for its rich and aromatic curries, including options like Dahl, Cashew Korma, and Chana Masala, along with their popular Curry Trio served with rice and mini naan for anyone who wants to sample multiple flavors. Their menu rotates seasonally but keeps signature favorites like the Red Curry Mac & Cheese, an indulgent dish layered with sweet pickle relish, Romano cheese, tomato, and cilantro. Guests can also enjoy lighter and vegetarian-friendly dishes such as the Lemon Asparagus & Charred Leek Soup or the Arugula & Apricot Salad, while more decadent options include Hoisin Meatballs served in a savory broth with fortune-cookie aioli and furikake. Many dishes can be upgraded with roasted chicken or braised short rib. Desserts are fun and imaginative, changing with the season, and the drink selection features house cocktails like the Hibiscus Tea Margarita and Chai Tea Mule, local craft beers, kombucha, and a thoughtful wine list.

Atmosphere & Experience

Jack of Cups Saloon offers an eclectic and comfortable space: casual enough for flip-flops after a beach session, but elevated enough for date night or a standout dinner with friends. With both indoor seating and a patio area, it’s perfect for any time of day. The vibe is stylish yet unpretentious — beach-town cool meets culinary creativity.

Why We Like It

If you’re looking to step outside the typical beach bar or seafood shack and want something a bit different on Folly Beach, Jack of Cups delivers. Its globally-inspired menu stands out from the pack, the location in the center of town makes it easy to find, and the combination of vegetarian-friendly options + full bar makes it perfect for a wide range of guests. Add to that its food-media credentials (featured in outlets like Southern Living, Thrillist and Charleston Magazine), and you’ve got one of the most unique “dining on the edge” spots on Folly.
