Two fried haddock filets, 8 jumbo shrimp combo with baked potato
Leigh L.

My friend and I came here for dinner tonight. When we arrived we put our name on the list for a table. There were many people waiting, however we were seated in less than five minutes. Our server was at the table as soon as we were seated and took our drink order. When she returned we had already decided on our meals. We went with the haddock, jumbo shrimp combo. We both wanted a side salad and one had fries while the other wanted a baked potato. The salad was so fresh and delicious with onion, tomato and shredded carrots. Before we could finish the salad all the condiments and extra plates were brought out. I was surprised why extra plates would be needed but then the order arrived. Two full filets of haddock, eight Jumbo shrimp, fries covering the entire plate and four hush puppies piled high. Extra plates are a must to get your food not to spill it everywhere. Our server was very busy but not to busy to make sure our drinks were refilled. To go boxes were provided and much needed. The food was delicious, piping hot and not over cooked in any way. The fish was lovely and white and very flaky. The tarter sauce is by far the best I've ever had. It wasn't all mayonnaise! Wish I'd asked for extra to bring home. The only negative was that it did feel very rushed. I understand that the restaurant was busy in the middle of Saturday afternoon but I just felt that it was a rush to move a table. The restaurant is loud with all the people talking, however it is very open and it was packed. Nothing overly fancy but definitely great for a family. I'm looking forward to my left overs tomorrow and will be back when I'm in SC again.

Flounder and Shrimp combo

A well established locally owned seafood restaurant. It's not fancy, and the decor is dated. But don't let that fool you into thinking the Mayflower is subpar when it comes to the food. The menu has just about anything a seafood lover wants, several types of fish, flounder, haddock, whiting, to name but a few. There is popcorn shrimp, jumbo shrimp, scallops, deviled crab, oysters, and more. Mayflower offers several combination platters and a 'build your own' option. You can choose to have your food fried, blackene, or broiled. Be prepared to be amazed when your food is brought out. The plates are piled high, and I do mean high. So high, your choice of 2 sides have to be brought out on separate plates! The food is hot, fresh, and flavorful. Each plate is accompanied by 5 or 6 ring style hushpuppies, a true Southern tradition. There are several sides to choose from, including Cole slaw, fresh crisp salad, fried okra, green beans, fries, both sweet and regular baked potatoes. Cocktail and tartar sauce are on the table for you to help yourself. For baked potato lovers, sour cream, honey butter, and whipped butter are provided in an abundance. For the land lovers, Mayflower has several options, but the one that stands loud and proud is the ribeye steak. Now I know many would say you can't get a good steak outside of a steakhouse. Well let me tell you, Mayflower's ribeye surpasses many a steak house steak I have eaten. First, the size, it fills a dinner plate and it's not a thin cut by any means. Cooked to your preference, your steak will arrive hot and juicy and will have your table mates wishing they had ordered one. Can't decide between seafood and steak, Mayflower offers a combination plate of steak and a seafood item of choice. There is a daily evening special and a lunch menu with smaller portions and smaller prices. The place is popular, so be prepared for a wait, especially on the weekend. The staff will get you seated just as quick as they can. There is seating both inside and out, with an intercom to let you know your table is ready. Occasionally, the service has been lacking, more to do with staff being rushed off their feet by hungry diners. So if you don't get that refil on your drink, or you're waiting on your check, Hang in there. They'll get to you. Be prepared to ask for a take out box, as few can finish everything on their plate. Ask for takeout containers of cocktail and tartar sauce, they will happily obliged. The average price is around $20 per person up to $30 for a combo plate. This includes drink and tax. Credit and debit cards as well as cash is accepted.

Popcorn shrimp, fries, hush puppies & garlic bread.

Huge portions! Yummy food. Outstanding service. We took our grandson to eat here and he loved the popcorn shrimp.

Catfish and popcorn shrimp
Christopher C.

Well I'll start off with the wait. Which there was 12 of us so we had a 30 minute wait. Our order was quick and drinks arrived fast. The first refill was slow coming but after a few mins our waitress was spot on. The food was outstanding and very large plates. I got the fried seafood platter. Shrimp, oysters, flounder, deviled crab, scallops. $19.99 was the price. I had some to take home. Not many places give the food like this place. Now I didn't like their hush puppies at all. But to each their own. Sweet tea was good too.

Not fancy.  Shorts and tee location. Enjoy !

Their thin biscuits are not to be missed! I've never had any other biscuits like these! My husband and I have been coming to Mr. B's since the 1980's. it's about an hour and a half from our home to Mr. B's. The fried chicken alone is worth the drive! And the fact that they have so many vegetables to choose from-green beans, cream corn, butter beans, pickled beets, salad-the list goes on. And their dressing, macaroni and cheese, BBQ, and beef stew, not to mention the roast beef carving station and peach cobbler-hard for me to choose what my favorite really is! Lunch at Mr. B's is good throughout the week, but the menu is less extensive. Oh, and they also cater! Do yourself a favor (if you're not on a diet) and take a trip to Mr. B's. I'll probably see you there!

Looking for a place to stop for lunch just happened to stumble upon Mr Bs. The name is a little deceiving as seafood is only certain days as others have states. But the parking lot at lunch was packed - always a great sign. Delighted to have a simple down home BBQ lunch buffet with great friendly service. On my list to go again next time in Hartsville. And they take American Express!

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.
