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.

We loved the food. The fish and shrimp was really good. We came from North Georgia for some fresh seafood and we will be back.

This is an absolute must! Order the roasted oysters "with a little bit of help" (cooked rare). My favorite restaurant experience when I visited!

The outside of the building was old and worn down, but the food was great. Best fried oysters I've had, light, not chewy, and clean taste. Shrimp was really good, but could have some improvement (really good though), and the hushpuppies were of the cornbread type, so taste great if you like old southern style hushpuppies, coleslaw, tatter sauce, and cocktail sauce taste homemade.
