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.

Excellent fried shrimp, crab cakes and white fish platter. Fresh and fast! We did go on a Thursday night in March. The place was very basic. The atmosphere is the water views and your company. The food is spot on fresh fried and/or steamed. The fried white fish was the best I have had, ever! This is a traditional serve yourself seafood camp. Do not expect service, as it is mostly order at the counter, self serve your drinks and condiments and grab yourself a spot. Enjoy your friends and the water views. Your food will arrive... read more

Family All-Time Favorite!! So grateful to the Barber family for keeping both the ambiance AND the food fabulous for all these years. I can smell the salt air and taste the shrimp just thinking about it!

I spent my time with my mom Doris Mather at Bowen Island every summer. Then when my kids were 13 I sent them there to enjoy things I did.
