Had 6 wings. Ranch and Bleu sauce on the side. Sauce was terrible. Chicken was good. Hot, seasoned, crispy. I really wanted to try the fried biscuits but door dash was charging $13 for half order. I better just take myself to the store in order that in person. Will try shrimp next time as well.

I asked for cheese and no pickles or tomatoes on my catfish poboy. I got no cheese. But I got the pickles snd tomatoes I requested be left off. 1st visit might be my last visit

First time visiting this place. Me and my daughter were in the area and when we saw it my daughter said that it was one of the places she had on her bucket list. So we went in and ordered. A couple of the combo dishes weren’t available and we were told that the website had not been updated. The young lady that waited on us was very pleasant and professional. We got our food to go and waited in the car. She brought it out to us and we thanked her. Unfortunately on the way home I wanted to taste it and when I did my heart stopped. It was some of the worst food I had ever had in a long time. It was horrible. I ordered fish and chicken, my daughter ordered shrimp and chicken. You could literally squeeze the oil out of it. There’s no way you could eat it. We paid $46.48 for food we couldn’t eat. Nobody wants to throw money away. So with everything we experienced we will never go back and suggest that others be aware. My daughter wanted to take it back but I told her no let’s just go home. I just didn’t feel like going through any unnecessary hassle. I just took the lost and lesson learned. My daughter wrote a review but I needed to express my disappointment too.

First-Time Visit to Surf's Up South Shore – A Bittersweet Bucket List Experience
I’ve had Surf’s Up South Shore on my foodie bucket list for a while, so I was genuinely excited to finally give it a try while visiting the area. Walking in, I was ready to place an order for my mother and myself—a catfish filet and jumbo shrimp combo we’d seen on their website menu. However, I quickly learned from the friendly woman at the counter that the combo was no longer available.
No worries—I appreciated her kind demeanor, and after conferring with my mom (who even came in from the car to double-check), we settled on two alternate combos: one with catfish and chicken wings, and the other with shrimp and chicken wings, plus a side of corn.
We hit the road shortly after, with our food in hand (delivered to us by the same kind woman—great service!). The aroma coming from the containers was mouthwatering, and my mom couldn’t resist digging in early. Sadly, that’s when our excitement took a sharp turn.
Her first bite of chicken was overwhelmingly greasy—not the usual crisp, but soaked-through. Hoping it was just a one-off piece, she tried the catfish next, only to find it equally oil-heavy. The fries underneath were practically drenched, to the point where you could press them and watch the oil seep out. The corn, while nicely seasoned, had no butter or salt—just missing that savory touch.
All said and done, we paid just over $42. For that price, we expected quality to match the hype and the smell. Sadly, the flavor didn’t deliver the satisfaction we were hoping for.
Our hope is that today was just an off day—everyone has one. But unfortunately, this experience has solidified our decision to hold off on any future visits, at least for the foreseeable future.

The fried biscuits (more of a dessert) were incredible.
I got the fried catfish and cheese grits. Also top notch. Highly recommend

The staff was extremely helpful and explained every item I inquired about. I tried the fried lobster and it was so good. This was my 1st visit there and was pleasantly taken care of and the food was absolutely delectable.
Stopped in after going to Give Me Some Sugah bakery which is right next door and purchased the whiting dinner. I was very pleased with my purchase. The food was well seasoned, delicious. The fish wasn't fried too hard, the potatoes were delicious and I don't eat collard greens, but they were great. This is NOT fast food and I will be back. Give our brother your business.

I’m from Houston and visiting. A friend recommended the Hennessy wings from here. I called in an order for the wings and fried biscuits, and my food was ready for pick-up in about 20-25 minutes. I couldn’t wait and dove in right there! The wings were perfectly crisp, even with the coating, and cooked through beautifully. The Hennessy flavor was subtle yet still full of flavor. The fried biscuits? My god! 🤤🤤 The service was awesome. All around a solid place with great food and service. Highly recommend!
