Plenty for a hungry appetite! Great service and great food. We drove 1.5 hrs and well worth it.

Traveling through and needed a bit to eat. Few places in the area and being Sunday, most are closed or close early. This is a very unassuming place. Simple seating areas. 4 stars. Next, the staff. They were exceptionally nice. Friendly, polite, courteous and helpful. Absolutely 5 stars. The food. We ordered the fried pickle appetizer, a shrimp dinner and the special, a 5oz fried grouper sandwich. The pickles came out fresh, hot, nicely cooked in a perfect coating. Came with ranch dressing. Would totally order them again. 5 stars as they were perfect. The shrimp dinner was also very good. Nice portion of again... perfectly coated, perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. The side of coleslaw was fine. No rating as it was neutral. The fries, the side we chose, were ok. The usual frozen crinkle cut fries. They were hot and cooked well. But frozen makes them a 3 star. I personally was not a fan of the hush puppies as I'm typically not anyway. My partner said they were delicious. Going by her enjoyment, 3.5 stars. The grouper sandwich special. Presentation was good. Good bun, fresh leaf lettuce and fresh cut tomato. The fish was again, nicely coated. Unfortunately, it came out dry. A little tough to chew. My partner tried it and said the same thing. Fortunately, the great server offered to have a new one made for me. I really didn't want it so she replaced it with their fried shrimp! No headache. No nasty looks or comments. Just a server that wanted to make sure we had a good dining experience. She did. The bill arrived and the food prices were good. Taxes are a bit high but no fault of the place. We were disappointed to see a service charge of 3% for CC fee. Typical nowadays but still never happy to see it. Overall this is a place that I would absolutely recommend and if ever passing through here again, we will stop and eat here. 4.75 stars. read more

We enjoyed our lunch at Ace Basin. We stayed in Charleston but met family half way to Beaufort and I found this hidden gem. The staff was nice and helpful with the menu knowledge. The fried pickles were a huge hit. Everything tasted great and seasoned well! We would go back! read more

Always a nice plate of seafood And sides. Simple with no frills. Friendly And quick service.

I saw a sign from the road saying they had collards today and I whipped into the parking lot! Lunch was fantastic! Blackened Red Fish with all the fixings! Fish was seasoned well and cooked tender. Collards were outstanding; just the right flavor of pork kissing the tender greens! Hush puppies were sweet and made for a little dessert moment at the end of eating! Highly recommend all I ate! read more

Great seafood and service - and we're kind of food snobs Janice our waitress was patient with us while my daughter and I camped out and had our 2nd Christmas. Had Lowcountry boil and gator bites and huge sweet teas - we will meet here again and recommend others stop by on their way through town. It's basic, consistent and yummy. Rest of staff was so sweet and chatted with us - made us feel welcome and right at home. Don't expect fancy or healthy- just food and people read more

Great food! Great staff! Reasonable prices. Enjoyed talking with some of the friendly "regulars". Always enjoyable.

Amazing local fish. Just what you'd want from this sort of the world. The people match the quality of the food and the ambiance.

I see they changed their published hours now but the night I tried to dine they had closing at 9. Arrived at 7:45 and refused seating even though there hours showed closing at 9p as well as the sign in front off the restaurant. Had made the 20+ mile drive based on recommendations of friends. Needless to say I was shocked that someone would run a business this way. When I asked for the manager I was told "he left 5 minutes ago" Found that difficult to believe as well. Call before you go read more

A special thanks to Yelp for helping us find this local gem. It's obvious with the coming and going that this is a well loved local establishment with some in their jeans and some in their Sunday finest. Nothing fancy here-scuffed Formica topped tables, fishnet adorned walls, metal chairs, but very clean and full of seemingly happy customers. The fried shrimp and flounder basket hit the spot today! It comes with a cup of creamy coleslaw and a side of your choice - baked potato, grits, green beans or crinkle fries. My baked potato was perfectly cooked and everything was piping hot. Hubs enjoyed their fried oysters and shrimp. I must say the fried oyster I tried was delish! Service was so quick and efficient we were back on the road in no time! read more

Fabulous Seafood. Staff was friendly and the cost was reasonable especially for the amount of food.

I rarely try a place that deserves 5 stars across the board. People leaving were telling us how good it was as we parked and recommended the fish tacos. We were seated quickly and greeted by a server shortly after that. I ordered the 2 combo plate and my husband had the Captain's platter. Everything was hot and delicious. We really enjoyed the service and food. The servers treat you like family. We will definitely come again. Everyone was right this place is really a treat. read more

We stopped in and was told our wait would be 10-20 minutes to be seated. We were fine with that, however, after being seated and placing our order, 1 cheeseburger and 1 two meat seafood basket, it took nearly 40 minutes to get our food. Others who came in behind us were served almost immediately. The portion was skimpy and the service was atrocious. I will mark this place of of my list even though I have been there numerous times. Not worth the =wait and I suspect something more sinister may have happened-very poor customer service! read more

Doesn't look like much on the side of the road but wow it is good! We met family for lunch and when we arrived they had all of the tables set up and ready for us. We had great service! We ordered the calamari to start with, it wasn't as good as I had hoped. But the entree made up for it! We ordered the Seafood Platter for Two. It had fried fish, shrimp, scallops, oysters, hushpuppies, cole slaw for two and each person could pick a side. It was plenty of food for two people and everything was perfectly fried with a very light batter. This might just be the new go to place for great fried seafood! read more

We were looking for southern style fish and chips! This place was perfect. Portions were great. Had to take some home! Staff was friendly and accommodating. Lots of local folks eating here so you know it's good. Has old time diner feel. Nothing fancy but clean and comfortable. read more

Passed by and the place looked good from the outside; Should've kept driving. It's about 2.5 stars. The Fish Tacos were cold but the sweet potato fries were good. Catfish was just decent, baked potato was so cold the fake butter didn't even melt on it. Fried okra had excellent flavor, onion rings were hot, gator bites weren't fresh and were super small pieces. Half the pieces were just fried batter with no actual meat. Place is pricey as well considering the subpar quality of food. Walked away paying $100 for $20 worth of food from the freezer section. Would've been same quality if not better. Service was just okay. Table was dirty. The inside has the same lighting of a hospital room prepped for surgery. Super overly bright fluorescent lighting everywhere. read more

I have driven past Ace's from Savannah to Charleston often and wondered about the place. Wow have I missed out! I ordered the lunch portion of the catfish strips (didn't want to deal with bones on the whole catfish version today), green beans, slaw, and tea. The fish was fresh, perfectly cooked, hot, and nice light batter. Green beans had a tad of spice which I love and the slaw was refreshing. Served with cold tartar and cocktail sauce. My wife had the combo platter of scallops and shrimp which were equally great. I'm not a hush puppy fan but I ate those up too. The servers were friendly and on the spot and the place was as clean as a whistle. I highly recommend Ace's and will be back! Thank you read more

Wow! ABFC is delicious. They have prompt, friendly service, and the food is affordable. I suggest the little creek shrimp. The water has a bit of sulfur in it, so avoid tap water, but they still get 5 stars! read more

Drove down from Charleston on a whim, and so glad I did. Open Wed-Sun for dinner (right now) but call for times to be sure. Best seafood meal I've had in years! Fried right, with just the right amount of season and portion size to fill you up and take a bit home to remember them by. Service from Charisma was exceptional and seating (yes, they still have in-house dining with great COVID protections in place) was comfortable and cozy. They have a drive thru pick up if you want to be extra careful, but servers were masked and gloved, and hand sanitizer was readily available upon entry. Long story short is I'm making this a weekly affair, despite the 25 mile drive! read more

Location:5 (Easy to get to from Hwy 17) Service:5 Food Taste: 5 Food Presentation:5 Pricing:5 Throttle Down Motorcycle Ministries had a lunch ride to Ace Basin Fish Camp! This little gem is located in Jacksonboro, SC it was a great ride through scenic roads with little traffic. We made a reservation because most local eateries are jam packed after church on Sundays. To our surprise, We were greeted outside in the parking lot by our Wonderful Waitress Laurie. Cheryl and Ed also greeted us at the door and showed us to our seats. The restaurant is bright, clean, airy, with lots of windows. It oozes Southern Charm! Almost reminds me of an old cozy lakefront home or a house boat. Upon arrival, we found plenty of parking for our motorcycles right off the highway so there was no trouble getting there or getting home. It took about 2-5 minutes from when we walked in to when Laurie took our drink orders. The menu offered many local seafood favorites which I could not wait to taste. After spending 10 minutes combing over the exciting menu, I selected the fresh Creek local shrimp plate. I never heard of Creek shrimp and at all you can eat for $9.99, why not??!! My fried local Creek shrimp were small, sweet, juicy, succulent, crispy, well seasoned and perfectly fried to a golden crisp. The Best Shrimp, I've ever eaten!! The hush Puppies were fluffy, sweet, golden, crispy with a tangy onion taste the best in SC. These two powerhouses pack a palette punch! Overall, our experience here was wonderful from beginning to end. Laurie,Ed,and Cheryl are very hands on and involved with customer interactions, wait staff, and their kitchen staff. Their Go-get her attitude speaks volumes for their quality of service. The food offerings are first quality, fresh, and cooked with care and perfection. The taste is Bar none one of the Best in all of South Carolina. The prices were reasonable and the portions were amble. Plenty of parking and right off the highway! I highly recommend for Everyone to check out the Ace Basin Fish Camp, you will Not be disappointed. read more

Traveling through the country on the way to Charleston and looking for a place to eat a late lunch about the 2 pm in the afternoon. Literally saw the sign on the road and turned around... not too busy for a Saturday afternoon. Had frog legs as an appetizer and shared a Seafood platter.. large portions, fish, oysters, fried shrimp and scallops, French fries and hush puppies and plenty sweet tea. Very friendly waitress and the food got to the table very fast and piping hot! Enjoyed lunch .. maybe could have as much seasoning g as we like in South Louisiana ... Lol .. but good meal.. worth the stop! read more
