Oyster House Seafood Restaurant

I usually give GREAT reviews - even when they may not be deserved but/ The scallop casserole and the red rice were terrible . I couldn’t eat anything but the 5 scallops . Then on top of it , they charged me $3 for ICE. I questioned it and was RUDELY told “ma’am - that’s our policy “! We will NEVER go back there again.

We had a reservation and went on Black Friday. They got us seated pretty quickly. We did have to wait a bit for service and I would have to guess it's because they're understaffed because I did see empty tables. The food was okay, but nothing to rave over. We specifically went for the oysters, and frankly, my husband said that the oysters were just okay. We live on the Gulf in Mississippi, and he says ours are much better, so it could be just a matter of taste.

Nice ambiance, friendly bartender, drinks were good but the food is a joke. The fish tacos are seriously laughable. It's like one tiny finger sized piece of fish with some old cabbage. You get 2 for like $17. The 'seared' tuna is not good. Was this taken from a plastic package and served? Wouldn't eat here again.

Corey is absolutely amazing!
He was very attentive, and made our last night of our honeymoon so fun and enjoyable. Highly recommended asking for him to serve you!

WOW. Just all around great food. Everything was delicious. We enjoyed the entire experience. The cheese grits were next level. The fried okra was the best we've ever eaten, and we've eaten bushels. The coating on the fish was an elevated calabash style. The Old Fashioned was most excellent. If we lived in Charleston, we'd be regulars. Go check it out. Thank me later.

I had the she crab soup and shrimp and grits. All excellent. Everything everyone ordered was good. Outside looks like a cool scene. Inside wasn't anything special but food made up for it.

Such a cool spot for a nice dinner! We took advantage of their happy hour which I would 100% recommend! Ordered the entire menu and some drinks for ridiculous (in the best way) prices. Also had a lovely server. Definitely will be visiting again if we ever return to Charleston!
Note for bigger groups: Tables are not the biggest so definitely be there early to snag the bigger ones!

Lobster Ravioli was awesome & my husband had low country boil that was great. We also had the stuffed shrimp for appetizer that was yummy. Great service not super busy at the time we went so no wait for us.

I have been a Charleston local for several years now. This is one of my go-to's several times a month. They have always provided great service, great bar service, and some of the best seafood I have had in town. Staff is always phenomenal and I cannot recommend the restaurant enough.

Dietary restrictions: I have celiac disease so I am gluten free. They have never skipped a beat to accommodate me whenever I am dining here.

Food was good but overpriced and the server was absolutely awful! Very unfriendly and unwelcoming. I'd rather eat garbage than deal with that service!

We were in the O-Bar side of the establishment and loved the relaxed atmosphere. Our bartender took the time to talk us through the oyster varieties, their origin and flavor profiles. He was friendly and funny and the oysters and drinks were both the bomb. Would recommend to anyone.
