This nice man sold us ROTTEN oysters. He knew we were visiting from Tennessee, and I guess he…read moredidn't think we knew anything about oysters. We used to live near the ocean and have bought oysters many times. He put the 30-pound box in a big trash bag and tied it. When we opened it to eat them, the oysters stunk so bad like rotten meat that it would take your breath away. He is going to hurt someone with his bad seafood. We also bought several tuna steaks which we were too afraid to eat.

The customer service was excellent! The restaurant was clean. I ordered the 3 piece whiting meal with fries and fruit punch. My sister ordered a pick your on three selection combo which included fried croaker, calamari and oysters, onion rings and fruit punch. Both meals came with hush puppies and coleslaw. The calamari was a little salty, the fruit punch was weak, the coleslaw wasn't too my liking but the hush puppies were excellent! Overall the meal was delicious. I love their motto you buy they fry it! We will be back to try additional menu items. This restaurant is highly recommended!!

The team was friendly and welcoming plus helpful. The restaurant was spacious, clean, and looked cute inside with ocean-themed colors. Restroom was clean and fresh. The restaurant doesn't have a loud fish smell. There's a view of the Florence, SC water tower across the way. Pretty neat. As for the food, I ordered the Pick 2 which was Cod Nuggets, Catfish, corn on the cob, cabbage, and came with hush puppies. Cod nuggets at first bite were delicious and catfish was great too. I didn't care for the brown cabbage or brown corn. I think maybe the corn was brown because it was the end of day. The hush puppies were over cooked and probably end of day rush. Other than that I see photos from my sister's visit and see the hush puppies look much lighter usually. I'll let it slide. They should add more or change side selections like offer baked beans. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this place.

I can't write home about their fried flounder (greasy and noxious fishy smell) and their sides? I believe the cooks have a heightened fear of SALT & PEPPER. All of their sides taste like a scoop of canned disappointment that shouldn't have happened. Their pork bbq tastes like somebody forgot to top up the sugar while garnering their offerings vinegar "based." Their hushpuppies are friend BLASPHEMY!! A invisibly seasoned ball of flour & water deep fried as a private joke. The folks buying it probably believe its top tier and quality when a true hushpuppy consists of sugar corn meal flour celery onions & LOTS of love!!!! The Indian folks that run & operate the place sure like money, but their focus should be on solid, and undeniably outstanding food.
