I drove from GA to SC (half an hour each way) Sunday because I wanted to eat here. I checked their fb, checked google, and even called to make sure they were open. Nine if these reported they were closed for plumbing issues! They could have put this on their voicemail. I drove an hour round trip there & back and left very disappointed. It would have taken 2 minutes to report this closure... I don't get to eat here often because of the distance and price, so when I do this is my treat for myself. Very disappointing.

DeShawn's is a fun, down home place to get a good meal with friendly efficient service. It's a little shabby but you cannot beat the shrimp and fish lunch plate for value and well prepared southern fried food. My plate came with cheesy grits, collards, fried okra and hush puppies. You can get other sides too. We've eaten here multiple times and will certainly return.

Best seafood and the hushpuppies are out of this world! The lunch special can't be beat and the service is so wonderful and friendly. You can get fish fried or broiled, same with shrimp. If they dressed up the place, they could charge 15.00 a plate but we love it just the way it is.

Simple, friendly family decor. Friendly staff in great service. The food is fantastic! My husband had the fried chicken collars and mashed potatoes gravy. I had the hamburger steak with gravy onions and peppers, mashed potatoes and gravy and fried okra. Everything was the excellent! They even have complimentary cheese grits that were very good ❤️ My belly is full and we were very happy to stopped in here. * Note: wear your stretchy pants. You will need it! I can't wait to visit again soon.

The best part here is the attention , our server: Yaritzi she is very polite and friendly. But the I was expecting more. The buffet is only Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Another day is very expensive. The food was ok.

Great food! Our black female waitress was awesome and so sweet!!! There's def a very rude white lady that is always at the front staring at everyone while they eat she misread our order and didn't even compensate or apologize. They obviously only bring out one to two claws at a time when you get unlimited crablegs....which is ridiculous to be paying over $60 some of us actually know how to eat crab legs the right way. Also they need to renew there alcohol license, they would get more business.

I’ve been hearing good things about this restaurant for years. I’ve been putting off going there. Worst mistake ever. I finally paid them a visit today, and when I say the food was beyond what I expected. The serving size alone is enough to brag about. However, I want to take the time to acknowledge the superior customer service. If you haven’t stopped by yet, stop putting it off. It’s worth it. They have all you can eat options, when I say worth it!! You will not leave disappointed.

The BEST red snapper I've had in the CSRA. I love yhe hushpuppies. Great sides too. I also am a fan of the customer service. Over the phone, walking in, and the waitresses.

My wife and I stopped on our way back from Augusta. The outside caught my eye because it looks just like the kind of hidden gem rural restaurant which has the best food. Inside, the decor is keeping with the outside. They were busy even though we arrived just between lunch and dinner. In spite of being busy, service was prompt. Our server was friendly and attentive.The food was perfect. I had fried oysters and okra. Both were perfectly done my wife had fried shrimp. She didn't offer to share with me, so I take it it was good.We refer to restaurants we intend to return to keepers. We agreed this place is a definite keeper.

My wife and I stopped in, on the way home from Augusta. The outside looks just like you would expect a hidden gem to look like. Timing was right between lunch and dinner, but they were very busy. As busy as she was the waitress friendly and attentive. Our food came out faster than I expected, for a place this busy. My fried oysters were beyond good. I can't say they were the best I have ever had, but I will honestly say I can't remember any better. My wife and I call places we will return to " a keeper". This place is a keeper.
Everything was wonderful! First, the restaurant is rustic but very clean. The staff was very friendly and efficient. But the FOOD! Oh my, everything we had was wonderful. We each had one of today's lunch specials, fish and shrimp. For sides we ordered four different ones so we caould taste a variety. So we ordered mac and cheese, collards, yams and potato salad. The shrimp and fish were so fresh and cooked perfectly - especially the very lightly breaded shrimp. Taken altogether, the sides were reminiscent of Christmas dinner on the Gulf Coast. Treat yourself to some delicious, authentic Southern cooking and try DeShawn's.

Every year on my birthday we drive all the way from north Alabama just to eat their seafood. They have the best all-you-can eat seafood bar and all you can eat crab legs. The staff and the owners are the nicest ever. I’ll be back next year God willing ❤️?

I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT DeSHAWNS. The food was amazing, the service was excellent and I can't get over how many varieties of seafood on the buffet. I will definitely be back, just wish I lived closer because it would be a weekly thing.DO NOT LET THE OUTSIDE FOOL YOU... It may not look like much from the exterior but they sure make up for it on the inside. Nothing fancy just really good food.
