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.

The view of the water was beautiful, but that is not reason enough to stop by this establishment. This restaurant is on the top places you have to go before you die, but I think they meant to put the top places to avoid before you die. The food was okay, but the tartar sauce was made with sweet pickles instead of regular and the cocktail sauce seemed to have water added to it so it would come out of the self serve dispenser. The organizational flow of the restaurant was also off. You had to cross back and forth through the l... read more

One star is to many. Scream your name to give you your food. $16 for a oyster PLATTER and was like an appetizer but enough fries for the whole restaurant. Served on a lowsey paper plate. Sunset is worth the drive that's it!!!
