    Treasure of Agaves!
    Dr. Scott C.

    Agaves our go to Mexican restaurant off of Bees Ferry!! This place is always rocking with the music and cool vibe!! Service is always outstanding and staff is very friendly and helpful!! I love the Golden Tacos with ground beef and the Taquitos Mexicanos both are delicious! Easy 5 Stars !!

    Tacos

    Update, if you order to go and want queso...make sure you get the 10.99 one not the 7.99 one. The 7.99 one will give you a tiny cup of queso and the other one will give you what it really should be. Third time ordering tacos were medicore. I'll try the fajitas next time. The queso situation is just wild.

    Loved the flavor

    First time in Agaves. They have two entrances so I was confused where to meet hostess...maybe a sign on stand would help. Cute decor...I liked the spears. Very clean. Several TV's around bar playing various sports. I had read reviews but wanted to try for myself. I liked the salsa...good flavor and not too spicy hot. I'm not a Tex-Mex fan I'm more of a S. CA flavor lover. Chips typical. I ordered the lunch chimichanga with chicken. Service was fast. Chimichanga was stuffed full of white chicken. The salad with guacamole was fresh. My only complaint was the beans were lukewarm. The rest was delicious and I will stop in again.

    Cucumber Margarita

    The cucumber margarita is delicious!!!! We also had the chorizo queso and it was to die for. We don't get meals so I can't speak on that. Overall, a good atmosphere too. Bartender was attentive and very kind when we were there the day after Christmas.

    I've been to Agaves several times now and the food is always great in my opinion! They have a good selection of items. I usually get tacos or the Arroz Con Mariscos. Which is amazing. My only complaint was the staff can be a bit rude sometimes.

    Molcajete!

I paired it with slaw and a roasted vegetable medley (extra roasted), which was phenomenal. The next day at lunch, I ordered the Greggah--their lobster roll. Perfectly seasoned cold lobster meat piled into a top-split, buttery roll, finished with a twangy mustard sauce that adds just the right kick, and served with drawn butter. On the side were roasted vegetables (excellent again) and slaw that was crunchy, creamy, and unmistakably Lowcountry in style. I also added the made-in-house, from-scratch crab balls appetizer. Perfection on a plate. Since I was in town working, I returned the following day for lunch and splurged a bit. It was Clam Day Wednesday. I had a dozen steamed clams, a half-pound of steamed shrimp, and a half-dozen Parmesan-style char-grilled oysters on the half shell. The clams were absolutely perfect--sweet, tender, juicy, and ready to be plucked from the shell. The oysters were delicate morsels of pure deliciousness. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, ideal with cocktail sauce. I left extremely satisfied. The restaurant sits on the corner of a shopping center with plenty of parking out front. Inside, you're likely greeted right away. There are tables, booths, and a full bar stocked with all the libations you could want. Be sure to check the chalkboard for daily specials and the current oyster selections. They brew their own tea--no mix, no concentrate. The staff is friendly and attentive.

Upon arrival, we placed our order on the counter and were surprised by the variety of options and the affordability of the menu overall. We ordered fried shrimp and a combo of catfish and shrimp, both came with fries and a soda. We knew it was all made to order to a delay was expected, what we did not expect was the length of the delay. There were a bunch of group orders placed over the phone before us which made our wait close to one hour. the food eventually came out, but the wait was painful . I kind of wish they prioritized in-house orders of people waiting instead of to-go orders , but so is the system. I think I will call ahead next time to make sure the food is ready when I arrive The food was good and enjoyable as was the staff who were super kind and working extra hard with the high volume orders. The decoration is nothing fancy and more of a very campy ocean theme which I personally found amusing.

My bone in catfish was excellent and not the least greasy. I substituted fried rice fore the French fries and that too was one of the best i've had. The little woman (i'm a smart ass) had snow crabs with corn and potatoes....again was good and will order again . BUT...did i mention BUT....bring you own METAL lobster fork and metal cracker because the plastic made life difficult. THe drinks were cheap and refillable..... The place is basically a Chinese fish and chicken take out with some seating. Please clean those windows. Because if the windows, where customers sit at are that filthy ; makes you wonder how clean is the kitchen. We will be back (hope management reads about the windows)

Every recommendation felt intentional, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic without being pushy. We started with the octopus and suppli, and both were standouts. The octopus was perfectly tender with a beautiful char, and the suppli had that ideal crisp exterior giving way to rich, creamy risotto inside. For mains, the duck agnolotti was pure comfort -- I would drink the sauce with a spoon if I could. The elk loin was cooked beautifully tender and balanced with the potato and broccolini. Make sure to be online at noon 2 weeks before to book a reservation quickly! I understand why it's such a hard place to get a reservation for but it's worth all the wait.

Overall we had a great experience and I would recommend Wild Olive. The restaurant was so busy with every table taken. So I strongly recommend book as soon as you know a date. It books up very fast.

I was craving fried…read moreshrimp, but didn't want to go to a sit-down restaurant or subject myself to "fast food seafood". Inside, you'll see a large menu of to-go food as well as a row of fresh fish for those who want to purchase fish to take home and cook. If you do not want sides, you can purchase the fresh fish and pay a per-pound fee for the staff to cook it. The menu is simple, and what you see (literally) is what you get- fish and a few side items. I ordered the 15-piece shrimp with fried okra. After ordering and paying, the worker asked me the make and color of my car. Customers wait in their cars since the restaurant has no seating. My food came quickly, and it was packaged in Styrofoam containers, with utensils, napkins, and requested sauces included. I liked that I could get honey mustard sauce because I prefer that over ketchup with fries. My shrimp were not too greasy, and the fried okra was hot and fresh. I couldn't finish it all. You get your money's worth here, so plan to share or come hungry. Just be careful entering and exiting the parking lot, as Savannah Hwy. traffic moves fast and you must drive down the road to make a left turn back toward Charleston.

You can buy seafood to take with you and they all served fried seafood to go. The softshell crab sandwiches didn't have a ton of flavor but for the price you really can't beat it.

Girlfriend got the a snapper dish on a butter bean medley. She doesn't like Lima beans (which these actually appeared to be), so she ate around them, but she loved the fish! Service - 5 stars Our waiter was a nice gentleman named Tony. He was very friendly and helpful and timely with his service. Did a good job of helping my girlfriend navigate the wine menu (she's quite picky). They've actually got some aged white wines (Sauvignon blancs) that are quite different than what she normally drinks (she likes New Zealand varieties), so he steered her clear of them. Ambiance - 5 stars I found the interior of the place to be very inviting. Tall ceilings and modern architecture. A little on the loud side (we had a family with young kids nearby), but not bad. They actually have sound absorbing panels mounted on the ceiling, so you can tell they've given this element some thought. Finally, our table had a nice view of the kitchen and, as an avid personal chef, I really appreciate that aspect. Only odd thing (to me, at least) was that they sat us at a table right away (we arrived right at 5pm, which was when they opened), but told us that the bar seating was by reservation only. Odd...but maybe be the Kentucky Derby was coming on later that evening? In summary, I highly recommend this place and we will certainly be coming back!
