About this business

If you want to try some of the best seafood in Charleston then head to this humble joint on Folly Beach. It should be on your plan if you are in and around the area. The place was completely gutted in 2006 and was rebuilt again. The restaurant is famous for its wonderful oysters, seafood platter and shrimps. It takes pride in using the freshest ingredients and the catch of the day is always worth trying out. You can also book private parties at this venue.

Great food, atmosphere, and cold drinks! the menu isn't huge like at most restaurants and that makes this place place that much better. I recommend frogmore stew/low country boil, fried platter, and fried shrimp. Love the crab dip too! The hush puppies are fantastic, I always order more!

Hungry? Recommend a bucket of steamed oysters, as well as the shrimp (half order grilled and half order fried). As my wife said when she shared, the fried was to die for! Look to position yourself for seats to see the amazing view of the sunset !
