Wreck of the Richard & Charlene

You will not get a knife here. Seriously. Everyone gets a napkin with only a cheap fork wrapped in it. Even the fork is a sorry excuse for a fork: think elementary school cafeteria thin. Goes with the paper plate your meal is served on. Your waitress will serve you something (I had Grouper) that requires a knife, but there is no knife in that napkin bundle. Then she will disappear and you will eat with your fingers. Oh, and the Grouper: it was frozen and not cooked enough in the center. My sister ordered Grouper also, and she agreed with me that it was undercooked. Sorry, Rich and Charlene, but I'll bring my out of town guests now to Graze or Philosophia or La Pizzaria on Coleman/Houston Northcutt from here on out.

Paper plates, only a fork for silverware, and the paper table cover lessened the dining experience - good food and great service!

I do not get these good reviews. We went here on a recommendation of a lot of ppl. This was probably the absolute nastiest seafood I have ever tried. The menu was very limited and since they didn’t have many grilled options we decided to just share a seafood platter. The fried seafood was all soggy and just had zero flavor. We also tried some grilled shrimp and I don’t even know how you can mess up grilled shrimp but the seasoning on it was off putting. They serve everyone the same crappy sides which were some salty overcooked beans. Red rice that had no flavor and Cole slaw. I don’t know it was just not a pleasant experience. Ooooh and tried the clam chowder and it was ok at best. Just don’t get the reviews.

To say the food here is disgusting would be an understatement.
Okay, the Shea crab soup was okay but everything else was nauseating. I got grilled shrimp and scallops and it was nasty, the wife got fried shrimp which was a little bit better. The coleslaw wasn't bad but the red rice was terrible and the hush puppies were burnt. My last meal in Charleston was a disappointment to say the least.

You have to appreciate a place that knows exactly what it wants to be. This isn’t the place for everyone. I had the Seafood Platter, on which everything was fried but everything was properly cooked. The fish, shrimp, scallops and oysters must have been cooked separately because they were each properly prepared. I also saw a beautiful sunset. The entrance looks like a service door, the kitchen is open and loud, and the decor is purposely haphazard. Still, it’s a great spot for seafood. I highly recommend taking the red door.

Excellent seafood. The she crab soup was loaded with crab and the fish was lightly breaded and flavorful. Well worth the visit!

We went here for my birthday dinner last Friday. My fiance surprised me with my first trip to Charleston, and she picked this place for dinner. To be honest, when we pulled up, I was a little concerned about how great the seafood could be. Well, dont let the outside keep you away. This was by far the best fried seafood plate I've ever had. I had the triple combo platter. The best fried scallops and those fried oysters were amazing. Red rice was something I'd never had with seafood, but now I want it with every meal. Delicious boiled peanuts to start and a great slice of key lime pie for dessert. For a restaurant to be open for 3.5 hours a day, and we waited 45 minutes for a table, that speaks for itself. This place is a gem.
