Our Story
Where Good Company and
Great Cuisine Meet
For nearly eight decades, the Barnwell family farm’s country store, Roxbury Mercantile, served as a social hub for the Edisto Island and St. Paul’s Parish communities. Tragically, the beloved store burned down in 1983. The site remained vacant for almost 30 years until a local shrimp boat captain helped revive the area by opening a market for his seafood here in 2012.
Today, you’ll find Roxbury Mercantile owned once again by the Barnwell family and transformed into a welcoming restaurant serving up southern hospitality and high-quality uncomplicated Lowcountry cuisine. Here, we think there are few things in life better than a delicious meal shared with family and friends, filled with endless laughter and memories made. We invite you come sit in one of our relaxing and inviting dining areas, sip on a beverage of choice, and savor the place where good company and great cuisine meet.
