We were excited to get fresh seafood to take home and unfortunately everything we bought ended up being bad. We got a whole fish (which they said they couldn't debone but could descale it?) and it smelled so bad. It had meat that was disintegrating as we tried to butcher it. Then the scallops (sea scallops) looked funny to me. My suspicions were right because cutting in half I found they were either a bunch of tiny bay scallops shoved together in a perfect "scallop" mold, or it was something else- definitely not sea scallops. Super frustrated we wasted our money on this place. read more

Service was bad. People were short with customers. I was truly shocked and disappointed when I saw the attitudes.

This place makes you feel right at home every time. The owner is always there, very hands on, and one of the sweetest souls. The seafood, rather it be a fried basket, or a order of steamed seafood is always a win. If your a local or a visitor, you'll get authentic Charleston SC seafood. Came in town again, and was greeted with the warmest friendliest smile from Celeste and Cricket. Home Sweet Home read more

I'm sorry Yelp; I'm going to need a minute with this one. I have just decided to give details without opinions. Family of 4 with 5 and 2 yr old. Loved the laid back atmosphere but it could be considered a bit garagey, weird stains and all. They were only boiling food that day. The crab legs were very good but the shrimp were not. The legs were also a little pricey with having the additional cost of steaming. Frankly after the wait in the 8 seater place, smoking customers and all, I wish I had just purchased them to go and cooked at home. Seriously need to warn customers that smoking is allowed in there. It's very small and half restaurant (two small bistro tables and 6 or so counter/stools) half seafood market. There is probably better places to sit and eat if you are from out of town. Maybe stop in for some entertaining clientele and see if their full menu is available. read more

May I say Amazing place, Amazing FOOD, Amazing people. Definitely top of my list. Thanks John for the great chat, and for being so humble about your Amazing Seafood, after all over 40 years in business speaks for itself. Don't change a thing. My respects to the Chef () yes I do not just consider her a cook. Perfection comes natural, with a great sense of humor. To Cricket, who made our visit just over the top. Awesome dude. I promise, next visit, I will bring you a ring. MC -SYNDICATE - SOCAL - SD read more

No doubt, if this review was strictly on the food and service it would be FIVE STARS but while the food was very good the smokers weren't expected. (If you have a problem with cigarette smoke, get carry out!) Both my husband and I ordered the shrimp, fish, and fries. All fried. VERY yummy. Unfortunately, they were all out of crab but it was 5pm so that's expected. The food was so yummy in fact that we didn't even get pictures but we both walked out with full bellies! read more

Stop serving cooked food at 6:30 but don't let you know that anywhere - don't waste your time!

I love this place.. The owners are so nice..I drive 1.5 just to get the blue crabs. Never go wrong with Carriggs. I have been going there for seafood for 6 years. read more

Walked into this place looking for some real seafood. I knew I entered the right place when I saw the fresh seafood for sale. The staff is amazing, Denise with her warm charm. The food is made with love and care. The food is made to order. This place is a must visit read more

This place is great! Can't believe we've lived in the circle for over a year and just tried this place for the first time tonight! Awesome local fried seafood for an awesome local somewhat divey dine-in experience OR carry out. We got ours to go but were completely in awe when we showed up to pick it up. They've been around for awhile... I wasn't told that, but you can tell. The place is lined with shelves of seafood themed nic-nacs and trinkets along with some hanging ones... so neat!! These people know seafood! It's also a market for all local fish, shrimp, oysters, crab, etc. AND the prices!! You cannot beat the prices! We got a seafood platter and a 12 piece fried fish and fries for less than $20. Friendliest staff too! If you haven't been... definitely go check it out! read more

The previous reviews must be paid reviews or those people are crazy. This place stinks to high hell. I would buy raw seafood from them, for years the service and quality just kept declining. There are flies everywhere, inside outside you name it. The shrimp would be turning color, going bad and mushy. Born and raised eating and catching seafood, I know what fresh food is supposed to look, smell, and feel like. Most of the time I would come because they open later than others. No more will I shop here. read more

I love them! My aunt always goes I went alone for the first time, I loved the lady who helped. She was patient with me and also helped me with everything didn't push me to get more than I needed. read more

Seriously the best seafood place around if you ask me. I never had their cooked food but observing the people eating every time I come it seems to be really good. I usually get blue crabs and never once had a dead crab in my bag. The people are always friendly and the service is always great. The only down fall is I miss cricket the man who use to give the crabs out read more

I almost didn't want to post this to keep it all to myself, but it wouldn't be fair not to introduce you to the cool people at this tiny seafood market. If you want to get away from the tourist areas of Charleston and enjoy a beer and some peel and eat shrimp in a true dive bar then make your way here. They are known for their blue crabs which are really fresh and meaty, get them with hot garlic spice. The flounder fish sandwich between white bread with some homemade tarter sauce brought me back to a little fish market in my hometown in Florida. This isn't a fancy place just real people doing what they love for over 53 years. So pull up a stool, crack a cold one and chat it up with this family of owners who make you feel like they have known you for years. And when your done grab some blue crabs and shrimp and head home. read more

You MUST go here!! We visited Charleston last week and this is one of our family's favorite memories! The food and experience we had here was phenomenal. Ms. Denise knows how to fry fish, Ms. Celeste can show you how to shuck an oyster and Mr. Cricket will prep your take home order while you wait! If you want authentic, this is the place - get there early!! read more

Definitely a local establishment. Fresh seafood. Very small space with limited seating so take out worked great. Don't judge a book by its cover. Good fried seafood at a good price. Didn't want to eat in due to limited space and flies, but we enjoyed our meal at home. :) friendly staff with smiling faces. read more

This place is awesome. Price was real cool. seafood was great. Crab cakes seem out of a box. Crabs have a taste out of this world. They have a selection of take home seasonings. Fish was light and flakey, with good seasoning. read more

I'm visiting South Carolina for work and decided to go here for some seafood. Their pictures looked good so decided to give it a shot. First thing to note is if you plan on dining in, your clothes WILL SMELL strongly of seafood after you leave. As soon as I stepped into this place you could get a sense of the great friendly staff. They were the nicest people greeting you with big smiles and that great southern hospitality. I got the pound of shrimp, which was delicious with their hot garlic seasoning. I suggest if you're not a fast eater that you get half a pound because it cools down pretty quickly and the shrimp were delicious when they were steaming hot. Shrimp, fries ,and a sweet tea all for $18. Not too shabby in my opinion. The friendly staff really did push this review up to 5 stars. read more

The place is so awesome. The seafood is fresh and it''a cooked to perfection. One person stated "never judge book by its cover". And that is definitely true about this place. The folks working at this seafood restaurant and market are genuine and friendly. My wife and I went to this restaurant while we were in Charleston because my wife wanted to some cooked blue crabs and this was the only place we found that had what she wanted. And I must say my wife enjoyed her crabs and I enjoyed my seafood platter along with steamed shrimp. This will definitely be my wife and I go to spot whenever we visit Charleston in the future. We are always looking for good seafood spots when we travel and this is one of our favorites that we will definitely patronize when we are in the area. Also, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for some good fresh seafood that they can cook while you wait. read more

Well the only 4 crabs out of the dozen that were not tiny would have been nice if they were NOT DEAD. Their solution was first that the crabs were just sleeping and then after an hour went by to bring them back for replacement. When I told her that that wasn't acceptable she hung up on me. Too bad, they have lost what could have been very valuable customers read more

Great place to get your shrimp on! Mr. Carrigg is great guy and has a lot of knowledge. Divey joint, but grab a quick beer and take home some seafood. read more

Fresh, local shrimp. Yum. You can't go wrong. Service is great and they are open until 9pm.

Love Carriggs, always great food and service with a smile. The seasoning is on point and they serve beer as well so you can have a drink while you wait. Nice friendly family owned atmosphere. Quality crabs from the best crabbers in Charleston. read more

The lady that first started helping us wouldn't give us a straight answer to the questions we asked about the seafood. The answers we did get were condescending. Then, the lady rather abruptly started doing something else before wandering out the door without handing us off to anyone else that could help us, leaving to wait again. Price: not bad Service: deplorable Summary: we'll be shopping somewhere that acts like they'd like to have our business. read more

Great food loved the homey atmosphere great friendly staff and guest enjoyed it immensely nothing fancy but if you're looking for that local feel this is the place to go but would not recommend it for large groups I only had seating for 2 to 5 people read more

Carriggs is awesome. They have great service and great crabs. Looking for a solid local place? This is it!

I must sound the alarm on this one. P-l-e-as-e be mindful when it comes to purchasing raw seafood or fish! Any establishment that specializes in Seafood of any sort should be mindful of the careful handling and storing of this type of food. For the safety of well-being, this place is due for a visit by the health inspector department. When the odor is very fishy, please stay away. It was 101 degrees at the time of our visit. I'm not sure if something was rotten or if the AC system was broken down. But it was humid in that place. Temperature should be chilled below 60 degrees at least. Please stay away, the stench was so powerful, I could barely open my mouth. We stayed less than sixty seconds. One of the clerks asked if I had questions. My reply: " No, I'm good." Then without giving myself away, backed out of the door. When we got into the vehicle, the overpowering order stayed in my clothes for the next several minutes before leaving. PLEASE STAY AWAY FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY. A fish market must be fresh and clean and free of stale fish odors! read more
