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.

Was great eight years ago when we got married down here. We take covid into consideration and we understand that businesses have lost money and want to get business back and make money. we paid $60 for food that we could have gotten for $15 at Captain D's. However we will come back and try again. I hate it when restaurant owners get greedy because of their name and history. Good luck. Y'all asked.
