Rudest bartenders! Rude maître d’. Told me no. I was kicked out at 4.15 pm bc I was talking to my neighbors and wanted to stay for one drink. I had already eaten dinner and checked out. I asked for a drink and was told NO very rudely. They wanted to serve someone who would eat dinner. 15 minutes is all I asked. So rude. And really very unbelievable. There is no wait. And no reason.

If you are looking for great seafood you can certainly find it at 167 raw on King Street. We enjoyed a dozen clean, tender raw oysters to start. Followed by a swordfish / pastrami on a pumpernickel roll. No real pastrami involved just the seasoning used in pastrami applied to the swordfish. Sounds weird tastes wonderful. Lastly the tuna tataki was excellent. Excellent service from Jordan .
This is strictly a seafood restaurant no other options except a pork carnitas taco.

Few drawbacks, they do not take reservations and it's a popular place so get ready to wait. Also wine list is a bit pricey, no bottles under $60 and very few wines by the glass available

Got scombroid fish poisoning from their ahi tuna burger. All 4 of my friends that ate the burger got it as well. Awful GI upset, hives and full body rash, tingling, heart palpitations, nausea, dizziness and headache. When we reached out to 167, they only refunded us for the burgers and not the appetizer or 1 soda we ordered. 🤣🙃

Knowledgeable and friendly table staff. Excellent meal: blue fin tuna, oysters, mahi tacos, shrimp tacos — all excellent. Even the side salad was delicious with fabulous assortment of greens. Cocktails! Splurged on a shared piece of Key Lime pie…and so glad we did. Best dinner out in a long time.

I’m writing this review specifically because of the fried oysters. This was our first meal after arriving in Charleston, and we decided to keep it simple.
I first tried the raw oysters, and they were silky and fresh, but quite salty. So I assumed the fried oysters would also be salty. But the first bite honestly surprised me.
Visually, they didn’t look like the typical fried oysters, and the creamy sauce gave them such a rich, full flavor.
A wonderful surprise overall! I hope I can come back for the lobster roll!!

We were able to get 2 seats at the back bar at this very popular and lively place. The ceviche, oysters, fish taco, and oyster po boy were delicious. My Paloma was very good. We would go back

This place is a gem! Everything was amazing, including the service. We sat at the bar and enjoyed delicious ice cold martinis and cocktails. The caviar, oysters and ceviche were out of this world. We will definitely be back.

167 Raw Catering absolutely blew us (and our guests!) away. We received countless compliments — and several guests told us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. Everything was fresh, flavorful, beautifully presented, and perfectly cooked. The service team was friendly, efficient, and elevated the entire dining experience. If you’re looking for unforgettable food on your wedding day, 167 Raw is it.

Had a quick solo dinner at the bar and everything was great! Had the salad with fish of the day which was tuna and it was so delicious for something so simple - great cocktails too! Will have to go back to sample more of the menu!

Almost 1.5 hour wait after being quoted 45 mins was less than ideal. Oysters, sauces, potatoes and lobster roll were great! Shrimp taco was good while fish taco was not.
