Excellent place for oysters in Charleston.

The raw oysters are phenomenal. Briney, juicy, salty - yet not fishy - and plump. At $2-5 each, my dozen was $42. They were the best I've ever tasted! I recommend the lobster roll if you want a lot of meat without the heavy mayonnaise. I BEG you to try the hush puppies with sorghum butter. You'll want to lick the bowl clean. Oyster shooters were great with homemade mix. The daily catch was Wahoo over risotto. Very good. Drinks were strong and came out quickly. Thank you, Chloe, for the awesome service!! P.S. remember to grab a matchbook to remember the experience.

We had an amazing time! The food was delicious, and there was a huge variety. Our waiter, Ben, was wonderful. One person in our party was not a seafood person and he made great recommendations for their first oyster! He was super knowledgeable and kind. The vibe is really cute, and the food was all delicious.

Went here twice during our stay in Charleston. It’s become my new favorite staple. The happy hour with the $1 oysters were amazing, the food, cocktails, and service were great! I had the fry basket with fried oysters and shrimp and they were cooked to perfection. The oysters were amazing and the happy hour special for them was incredible. Lastly, the service was amazing and our waitress was so great. Will be returning next time I’m in Charleston and would recommend the this place!

If you’re ever in Charleston this place is a must! I will say unless you come in with a group the tables are a little cramped but it’s so worth it because the food and service here is incredible. We got the creole shrimp and it’s one of the top seafood dishes for me. Also got the oysters and they were fresh.
