Food: I had the Firecracker Shrimp and Shrimp Fettuccine. I loved the Firecracker Shrimp as it wasn’t too spicy and had honey on it to make it a little sweet. I thought it was too much honey but the others at my table disagreed. I do however do not like honey but it was still good. The Shrimp Fettuccine was delicious. One of the best I had. I asked for extra sauce and they understood the assignment lol. The people at my table ate the Low Country Crab Cake and the Oyster Rockefeller. They said quote “Just the right balance of ingredients. It was superb. Outstanding.” 5/5
Service: The waiter was Marquette. He was very funny, nice, patient, and understanding. No complaints. 5/5
Atmosphere: The atmosphere was not formal. Quite messy too as there were spills and shrimp thrown on the ground. It was pretty loud and there were babies screaming and crying. The bathrooms were horrendous. They were very small and you had to walk up stairs to get to the stalls. The stalls were barely enough for your knees to not touch the door (I’m quite tall however but it was still small). There was only one sink and the soap dispenser was crooked and almost falling off the wall. There were only two stalls. The tables kind of close to each other. 3/5
Overall: The food was amazing and tasted wonderful. You should definitely go there to eat. Despite the unique atmosphere the food makes it worth it. Sorry that I could not provide photos and videos.
Parking: You practically have to walk there.
Wheelchair accessibility: This is most definitely not wheel chair friendly. The bathrooms are very very small and barely a person without a wheelchair can fit in them. The bathroom also had stairs.

Unfortunately, the firecracker shrimp was the only good item we had. I ordered the burger which was very dry, thin and overcooked. It looked like a frozen bubba burger patty. My wife and daughter ordered the oysters. They were so small they were having to put 2-3 oysters on a single cracker. My daughter called them "Ozempic Oysters". My other daughter ordered the chicken sandwich. You would think this would be easy....NOPE! The chicken was so overcooked and had ZERO flavor. If you took a bite of it blindfolded, you would never guess it was a chicken sandwich. In short, you'd be better off finding somewhere else to eat.

If you are a shrimp and grits lover do not go here. No flavor and runny. Very disappointing.

Mich was the most annoying server I have EVER had in a restaurant. He tried to be funny, but it wasn’t. Very unprofessional. Far better restaurants than this. Skip it.

I started eating my fried/shrimp platter and found a blond hair in my food. Definitely not mine since I am a brunette. My daughter’s oysters were undercooked and had brown mush inside of them. I would not recommend from the choices on River street. No one asked about our food afterwards and just said we will take it off.
Food was good. Our server was excellent. Casual dining atmosphere. Food took a bit to come out but server gave us a comp app since the wait was a bit long. We were in no hurry so it didn't bother us. Great crab cakes!

Great little dive seafood place on River Street. My only complaint is that the entire restaurant smelled like the oil in the fryers needed to be changed. Very fishy smell throughout. It might have been just when I was visiting though. The food and cocktails are great and at a good price point for being on the river!

I rate this place 2 star because the seafood boil has no sauce , our meal was 80 dollars and the the total came up to 119 dollars for all drinks and the 80$ meal and when we asked for the receipt they said it's too late. just because we're under the age of 18 they took our money .

This is a must stop for us when on vacation! I personally love their hush puppies! Crunchy outside with a soft inside. They are on the sweeter side, but faster nonetheless! Can’t go wrong with the fried shrimp!
