    Recycled Sauce

    They have a shelf designated for recycled sauces & used crackers. Absolutely Not eating here!

    The food was excellent! They serve mostly seafood/shellfish. You can choose the types of shellfish you want! John's is similar to Joe's Crab Shack. I call them clambakes. One dinner can serve two people but if you have an appetite you might eat the meal yourself. The meal includes shellfish of choice, shrimp, endui sausage, 2 corn on the cob, 2 hard boiled eggs and red potatoes in the sauce of your choice. We had mild,but they serve Cajun style and hot. They have crab ragoons on the menu which I thought was strange, they were crispy. It's presented to the table in a steam bag, it's fun. The-meals are on the expensive side, but if you split it it's comparable to two meals. They serve fish sandwiches, chicken wings, and sides too. Plastic forks are provided, buts it's difficult to eat crab legs without the proper utensils. The shells are pre cracked, but a fish fork would be better and I know they make wooden ones. they could have provided. The meal we had was messy and the wet naps are large!The people are very helpful and pleasant. It's not a formal place. Give it a try and Bon appetito!

    This is a sign they have on the wall, so it goes to show you the customers are not trusted

    The service was good. Food was good. We went when it was a quiet time so we could take our time to eat.

    Good Cajun flavors. Shrimp and grits were best I ever had. Service was good and friendly. Clean. A bit pricey for us...

    Delicious Boil Bag seafood! We mix all of the sauces and get it hot. Price is high but it's worth it in our opinion.

    This was our first visit ever to Palmetto's, so we figured we'd start with an appetizer and figure…read morethe rest out afterwards - boy are we glad we did! We started with the haystack, some of the best french fries we've ever had covered by just about everything you can imagine, cheese, shredded meat, etc. It was one of the most amazing tasting appetizers we've ever enjoyed. We then went with the brisket platter with a couple of sides, all which tasted terrific. Our server AJ was a hard-working young man, splitting his time between bartending, oyster shucking, and serving our table in the dining room. He did an incredible job. We don't live in the Clemson area, but if we did we'd be at this restaurant quite often. With great food, friendly service, and affordable pricing this is truly a fun experience.

He made some recommendations and we were quite happy that we followed his advice on the grilled oyster sampler. We then happened to meet Kelly who wound up being our Server/ and actually schucking our fresh raw oysters right in front of us. They also have an extensive craft cocktail menu as well that Rocks !!! The Cuisine , The Ambiance, and The Staff are all Top Notch..... Thank You , Kelly and Stanley

For appetizers we got the clam chowder, not shy on the clam, was very tasty and a side salad with maple bacon vinaigrette, nice and refreshing. Something called to me to get the crab cake and since it's an appetizers I ordered that with a side of street corn. Upon first sight, I felt maybe they went a bit light on the remoulade but the flavor from the crab cake itself was incredible, and the remoulade was a nice enhancement. Any more would've overpowered the flavor of the crab cake itself. They did it right and the street corn was also delicious. Pimento Cheese Rockefeller Shucks pimento cheese and jalapeño pepper jelly. I didn't know what to expect from this but we are adventurous and I'm glad. This may be my favorite of the evening! We also got the Butter Parmesan Rockefeller which was heavenly. Next onto the raw oysters. We opted for gulf, Virginia, and NC and ended up ordering more VA & NC. Normally I use lot of horseradish and coctail sauce but the mignonette was so delicious that about half way through I only used that. Finally, and I wish I had gotten a picture, we talked ourselves into getting the crème brûlée cheesecake, diets be damned. I love crème brûlée and the hubby loves cheesecake. This became apparent when after a few bites we made a deal that I eat the top and he can have the bottom this was a win win for us! All the food was a hit, we loved our server, and the location and ambiance! Not only will we be back, I could see us becoming regulars. The hubby loves raw oysters/seafood and I'm coming around. Everything I ate was fabulous and I would order any of it again though there are other menu items I want to try as well. Thanks Shucks for a great night out. We will be back!
