A wait in line and place your order type of restaurant. Grabbed a drink at the bar while we waited in line. Staff were all super friendly. The fried shrimp was the best fried shrimp we've had at a coastal restaurant... almost as good as the fried shrimp at The Georgia Shrimp Company in Peachtree City ;))

This place always has a full parking lot and it's because it's so good. You will order at the window and then find a seat because they bring out the food. Dogs are welcome outside and they have a doggy menu! I got the Firecracker shrimp and it would have been a meal if I had gotten the hush puppies. Staff was very friendly.

The atmosphere and seating area are amazing. The food was also really good. I recommend the Shrimp Po-Boy or the Shrimp and Crab Alfredo. Food was brought out pretty fast.

A good find for seafood with an extensive menu and friendly service! Although it’s difficult to find parking in the small lot and you have to line up to order (can be frustrating when there’s big groups) the tasty food makes up for it! There’s also a variety of outdoor seating – covered booths, high tops, and low top tables.

This place is great. My wife picked it and we went and do glad we did. It's just good honest food. No gimmicks, nothing that will break culinary ground, but everything was good. Fish tasted fresh and cooked well, greens were good, grits were good, fries were good. Not a single bite let you down, you get what you ask for. Highly recommend for simple plain good food

Food was phenomenal. I grew up on the coast of Maine with some of the best seafood in the world and this was on par with what I'm used to. The other reviews stating that the service is bad must have acted like entitled snobs, because we found everyone to be super friendly. Service was quick, the restaurant was clean and has a great atmosphere. If you're looking for some of the classic seafood favorites, drop in and give this place a try!

Food and cocktails were absolutely delicious! The blueberry margarita was one of the best margaritas I have ever had. The outside dining area was quiet and relaxing, and everyone was super friendly. The fish was delicious! This place was 100% worth checking out!!!!

Just go. The food was really good we got there right as they were opening for lunch. Parking is limited. We got catfish bites, fried pickles, shrimp po boy, and the blackened grouper and shrimp plus two beers and our bill was just under 80. Which is RARE in Charleston. The portion sizes were perfect not over the top but not too little food. The outdoor seating is amazing! Not all of it is water view it’s only a little section but still very nice. They have fans going which was amazing on-top of the breeze. The staff were all very friendly. 10/10 would go again
