Not terrible, not great. We ordered the Lowcountry Boil with shrimp. The seasoning was not the traditional Old Bay seasoning, and the shrimp (which we ordered the large count for an added cost) was prepared fresh right in front of my husband, but tasted tough, not tender. The shrimp is not the "easy peel" we have all gotten used to; it's just shell-on shrimp, and it does have the intestine intact. Personally, we prefer the easy-peel, deveined shrimp and the Old Bay seasoning. read more

It is boil in the bag seafood. Base boil, (corn potatoes, kielbasa) now is $18 and a lb of jumbo shrimp totals $37 before tip. We got mild but you can get spicy. The sausage has a bit of heat but the shrimp themselves was mild but tasty. We got some garlic butter as well .You can get crab legs and fin fish in your boil all for additional price. You order at the seafood market and can either take out or eat next door in a small dining area with paper towels on the tables and a single unisex bathroom. They give you plastic forks but you peel the shrimp with your fingers. Food is fresh and tasty but this is rustic eating. Portions are huge read more

This is THE best place to buy seafood in Aiken, for both freshness and price. If they're catching it locally at the coast they'll be selling it at JCs. No place better to get live blue crabs and live crawfish in season. You can call and reserve your order too. read more

JC's Seafood - They also sell low country boil to eat there or take home. Perfect shrimp and sausage. - Seafood Near Me - Aiken, South Carolina

Food was very good. If your going to eat there Pro tip pack your own fork and shrimp peeler. The plastic set is useless. Don't go on a hot day. The porch is nice with a fan. read more

I was craving some shrimp and I wanted them to be as fresh as possible. I'd had JCs at catered events and thought I'd give them a try. The phone ordering was easy after I was able to get through. They must have been very busy that night. I arrived and they have an order door and a pick up door. I had the spicy garlic seasoned shrimp boil. They can do it without the sausage which is great. The corn and potatoes were great! The shrimp were not deveined though. I know most folks don't care about that, but I just expected them to be. So it took me awhile to eat my shrimp as I did it myself. read more

We enjoy eating here because it is so laid back and local. Fresh seafood and any choice is a great one. When we have company we always order Low Country Boil as take out. Excellent food that is reasonably priced and great portions. Love this place! read more

Freshest seafood in Aiken. Use primarily for buying fish and seafood for home preparation

Good food but seating is like you're eating at a picnic, very hot, outside metal building. I would come back next time just for take out.

Always fresh,great tasting seafood in the Low Country Boil! So good! We are never disappointed with JC's wide assortment of shrimp, crab, and ingredients in their Low Country Boil. read more

Ordered the low country boil for a crowd. We requested to pick the food up by 1045 and they were happy to accommodate! The food was all cooked perfectly and seasoned just like we requested. It could not have been any easier. Highly recommend this place for great to go seafood. read more

Great seafood, freshly steamed, great flavor. I usually get the low country boil for one. It's very good. I only live about a mile away, so easy trip! read more

Interesting place. Ordered a Low Country Boil with added scallops and clams. All came out OK except the shrimp. We got the large shrimp, they must have been overcooked so they were very hard to peel, and they were NOT DEVEINED so there was a load of inedible stuff along the back side. It took forever to peel them and clean them at the table, only to get chewy shrimp. That will likely keep us from ordering that again, and it is unfortunately the only thing they offer cooked. On the other hand, the potatoes, clams, corn, and sausage were very good and the scallops were wonderful. I will have to investigate getting that boil without shrimp, or taking the pound of shrimp raw to clean and cook at home. Discount offered for cash purchases. Have to remember to bring cash for the couple percent discount. read more

The food here is amazing but I really love to buy the blue crabs when they have them available. If you love seafood this would definitely be the spot for you to come to read more

The only place for excellent, fresh seafood in Aiken. Otherwise, you're stuck with frozen shrimp.

If you're looking for an adventure on the high seas that doesn't involve swabbing the deck or wrestling with an octopus, then this takeout seafood place is your treasure chest of the ocean's bounty. Here, you get to enjoy the symphony of flavors from the briny deep without getting a single sand grain in your shoes... And you don't have to catch it yourself. read more

This is one of those places that has been on my list for a while but always got pushed aside when traveling to Aiken because of Apizza di Napoli. We made the time yesterday and am so glad we did, although I wish that we had 1.) not come when the heat index was over 100 because the area/building you eat in does not have air (also adding spicy food into the mix just makes it even hotter!) and 2. We would have come here more often with friends or as date night with the putt-putt and batting cages in the same parking lot. Now for the food, I got the individual low country boil (LCB on menu) that comes with 1 corn, 3 potatoes, 4 pieces kielbasa and 12 XL shrimp for $12.00 and I added 1/2 lb of mussels for around ~$3 (full lb is $5.99/lb) with the HOT seasoning. Whoa buddy. I can do heat but combined with the no air, I was really sweating. It was delicious. My husband opted for the LCB with crab legs which was $18.99 for 1/2 lb crab legs and he added either a 1/2 lb or 1 lb extra kielbasa to be able to have a second meal to take home. He was happy with the spicy seasoning he got on it. He did say that the crab legs were a tad overcooked, but besides that enjoyed his food, as well. He just wouldn't get the crab legs again. Compared to the other two places we have had LCBs recently (Juicy Crab in Augusta and Crab Shack in Tybee), I think this is my favorite of the three. Juicy Crab is fine but what stands out from their LCB is their sauce, the seafood isn't the highlight. Don't get me wrong, their sauce is good but I've often left thinking yeah the kielbasa was okay, the mussels were average at best but the sauce was delicious, which isn't necessarily a bad thing just is a thing. Crab Shack in Tybee served more food but surprisingly the quality isn't always that great (you'd think closer to the water it'd be better but wasn't last time we were there). This place is absolutely worth the visit, just know it can be a tad pricey when you add on items like we did yesterday. That being said, I wish we had more time in Augusta area because we would be back! read more

Really great lowcountry boil! Can't wait to go back. Would love to try their fresh seafood too!

***EDIT*** So JC's Seafood just catered an AMAZING Oyster Roast/Low Country Boil for me and about 60 friends at my house the other day. It was perfect!!! The oyster tables they brought with them were the best and perfect for the space. The oysters were cooked perfectly and the Low Country Boil was incredible. My guest can't stop telling me how much fun they had and I'm hoping to make this a yearly event...That's how awesome it was. You guys ROCK!!! BTW since I found out about this place I've been going just about every Thursday. It's like a weekly tradition for me and my friends. LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Wish I knew about this place sooner!!! I've been living here for 4 years originally from South Florida and I've missed having shell fish. Only a few places sell crab legs and only one those places sell oysters. Neither one is vey good or very clean. Came across JC's on Yelp and decided to give it a try. AMAZING!!! They have, clams, oysters, snow crab legs, king crab legs, mussels and blue crab and crawfish when it's in season. WOW!!! It's not a real restaurant, you order your meal to go but they do have a nice place to sit down and eat it. Plus they serve beer and wine You just have to go back in to buy more if you want more then one. My only complaint are the the hours of operation but most places in Aiken have strange hours. I well be back again just got make sure it's earlier in the day and not on Monday's or Tuesday's. read more

I was excited to order a Low Country Boil from JC's. Sadly our experience was not up to par. We ordered low country boil for 2-4 people and an individual order, to which the spice level was totally wrong, we ordered it with clams as you can see from the picture 1/2 dozen of the clams were not open, finally the food was cold. We called the establishment and the gentlemen was incredibly rude and offered no resolution to this and even told me that we checked all the clams and seafood on each other as they've had this issue before! (Not believable) I wouldn't recommend this place, plenty more respectable similar restaurants locally. read more

Definitely a different experience in a good way. We ordered the LCB and added a pound of medium shrimp. No shortage of shrimp! Plenty to eat for two hungry people. Seasoned just right. This was a fantastic meal. We enjoyed it and we will be back. By the way the staff was very kind. They explained the different items on the menu. By the way expect leftovers. read more

Great food. Wish they had a better set up to eat in though. Their low country boil is fantastic.

Good little hole in the wall. Fresh seafood made to order seafood boil w kielbasa and shrimp. Very friendly staff explained menu to me as a visitor from out of town. Picnic tables and paper towels great for this type of eating. Good prices$11. For a dozen shrimp in a low county boil not bad! Would recommend if u are craving seafood, i got mine with old bay seasoning, but they have 2 spicier options as well. Potatoes were cooked just right. Give it a try if u are in the area. read more

Best place for fresh seafood in all of Aiken and Augusta. Superb service and quality of food is consistent. Waiting for them to expand into full-service restaurant. I would eat here more than twice a week if I lived closer. I take the 30 minute drive as often as I can. Delicious and worth it every time. Have enjoyed seafood all my life from SC to GA to TX and FL and Boston. This is one of the best I've experienced. read more
