Was there a month ago and food was very bad but we decided to give them another chance since everyone can have an off day. Well they have definitely gone downhill based on past experiences. Jumbo shrimp were not jumbo and rather small. They were overcooked as were the onion rings. Apparently they have a new kitchen crew..probably not going back. Here is the Jumbo shrimp read more

Food is really good, ordered the seafood boil, it wasn't anything fresh from the sea of course but it definitely wasn't overcooked or anything and the ambience is pretty laid-back. It's a great place to grab a beer and just relax with a good country vibes environment. Nothing 'fancy' just grab some cowboy boots and a cold beer and good food, great music and even better vibes the service is take em as you are. No complains here. read more

Food was awful, I wanted crab legs, so stopped in. Crab legs were loaded down with too much spicy seasoning, along with the red potatoes and corn. Crab legs were over cooked and very dark color, may have been old. Our table was covered in nats, even the roll of paper towels had nats and my seat. Went to wash my hands off, the bathroom is so filthy. I can just imagine how bad the kitchen must be. Just hope I do not get sick. Never coming back. read more

This is some of the best seafood I've ever had!!!! The presentation is as you would expect from a southern Florida cracker or southern Louisiana restaurant. The staff are attentive and care very much about your experience. read more

My husband and I had actually stopped going here because the take out order was always missing something, like jumbo shrimp or when I ordered the salmon special, I would get something else, replaced. Well, we went this passed Thursday, ordered to go and these were my onion rings...three limpy pieces...I am so done! read more

Nice out of the way surprise. Staff was efficient and friendly. Blackened grouper was above average and tasty. Enjoyed the slaw and loved the onion rings! Looking forward to Prime Rib Thursday. read more

Tried calling, but number was no longer in service? Need to contact- food was inedible. Paid $70 for 2 platters and both of us threw it in the trash read more

It's a fish camp! I like fish camps. It's is acceptable practice to hold your filet in your hand while you eat. One of the things I judge fish camps on is the tartar sauce. I'd give it a 3 outa 5. Too much vinegar for my taste. Frisches has the best IMO. Service has always been excellent even when the server was so pregnant we thought she might deliver more than our meal. We've only been there twice though it is about a mile from the house. We just don't eat that much fish. So, we were basically strangers when we went. I've never been anywhere where the other customers were so friendly like they are here. Overall, I'd give it a 4 outa 5. It's got a good rhythm & it's easy to dance to. Ambiance read more

What a great place, we strolled in here on a Sunday around 2:30 and missed the church crowd. We sat outside cause it was a great day. We order the everything platter i guess, came with just about everything you would like to eat. Fried fish, hush puppies, bbq chicken, pulled pork, Mac and cheese, potatoes salad and a salad if that wasn't enough! Everything on the plate was delicious! BBQ sauce was great, not sure if they make their own ranch but it's killer. Owner Nate and our server, Amber, both were extremely friendly and helpful. Love the vibe of this place, we felt like we were on the coast somewhere. We will return. read more

You have to make the trip! We are outside with another family and everyone loved their meal. Will be back again!

Delicious food! Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Service is great and can't wait to eat there again!

Under new ownership as of 2022! The food, atmosphere, service is great! The food is fresh and flavorful. They have options for fish, seafood to be grilled as well as BBQ nights on Friday and Saturday. The service is quick. The outdoor seating area is awesome when the weather is nice. York's best kept secret! Love coming here! read more

Food small portions and not good. Especially fish. Use to love this place with previous owners.

Absolutely awesome food! I got the blackened Shrimp. Best cole slaw ever! My honey got the Frogs Legs and Butter Shrimp. Portions are really generous. I can't wait to go back! read more

A little rough looking but worth it. Food is always cooked well and tastes great. The only things I can be negative about are that it's kinda small and always crowded and the coleslaw is bland. Neither are a big deal but that is the negatives. It's priced around the same as other fish camps. I they do a great job with the food and their frog legs are very good and you can't get them everywhere. The service has always been average or above. I would consider this a hidden gem and you should try it if you like seafood. read more

Stopped here for a quick meal and a couple beers.... What a great find! Seafood was great, quick and plentiful. Reasonable prices, great staff that worked pretty efficiently as it was a full house on Friday night.... Waited about 10 minutes on a table and we were seated, served and checked out and on our way again in less than a hour! Oysters were on point! Thank y'all!! read more

Always enjoy!! Wish a little closer but worth the drive .. see you again ,very soon my friend.

Hole in the wall..... you know what that means.... amazing seafood in large quantities. It's a plywood tiny spot that you'll need to either get there early or wait a while to be seated. They have inside and outside seating. Very limited. Maybe 10 tables inside and 5 tables outside. So if you have kids, like we do, we go early. Or we order take out. Salt and pepper calabash shrimp and flounder are like eating in Calabash. Not greasy like other local fish camps. Hush puppies are excellent and tartar sauce is fabulous. It's a fried seafood place. They even have frog legs. Never tried them, just see them on the sign. It's not a quick spot but it's a good one. Just take something to keep the kids occupied while you wait on food. We go in there knowing the flow and we all leave happy with full bellies. read more

Delicious food, fantastic service, the crew's laughter and playfulness with the customers and each other makes the atmosphere light-hearted and fun. Excellent! Thank you Holly! read more

Since switching owners the atmosphere is cleaner. The food prices have went up where as the amount you get went down. Food is still good but won't be eating there as much anymore. read more

A friend & I ate here recently & it sure isn't the same as it used to be! Different owners, menu, no Sr options & way higher priced! Also the food (BBQ platter $40) was way over seasoned with pepper & salt. The good thing was that it could feed 2 & then some. They do serve frog legs which you seldom see. The staff was friendly & service was good. Seating could use improvement, enclosing the patio & adding heaters would expand the dining area. read more

YUM!!!! Excellent seafood lightly battered/cooked, making it non-greasy. Small little place but can't go wrong with the food and service!

Went in for dinner tonight. Crowded as usual but wait was not bad. It's one of the few places where it's warm inside not freezing. We both ordered a senior platter oysters and perch. It was more than either of us could eat. Service was fast food arrived quick. The food is fried so you basically taste the batter more than the food. Nice cozy place inside . read more

Wow, definitely a diamond in the rough! Cash only, no cards, but man it was worth it. Service was fast, food came out quickly, was super fresh and lots of it! Very rustic, tiny, but man was the food delicious. Definitely snag yourself a seat and try it for yourself. read more

The service was awesome considering the crowd. I ordered the oysters and shrimp with salt and pepper. The chef put so much salt and pepper pepper, which made it uneatable. read more

Being a sea food lover, I was recommended to visit this place by one of my friend. I love this place but their staff is very rude. Place is also small for family gatherings but the food is great. read more

It deserves 1 star. Not greeted at all when we walked in the restaurant, stood in the middle of the restaurant like idiots while we weren't helped. Waited an hour and a half for our food and they don't take credit cards. I will not be returning and will be telling everyone I know not to go there. I haven't had this bad of a customer service experience in quite a while. read more

The seafood is great, but it ain't cheap in this part of the world. I can't believe that a place that fries everything doesn't put catchup on the table. The food is always hot and high quality seafood is used. I wish they had a bigger variety of sides, especially healthy or non-fried sides. The place is clean, the kitchen is clean, and the waitresses are nice.I'll give it five stars. read more

Come hungry! Potion sizes are large. Food was steaming hot when delivered to the table. Server was busy!!! But very friendly and efficient. Our table had fried calabash shrimp, jumbo shrimp, oysters, and catfish. We had onion rings and fried mushroom appetizer. I would skip the appetizers next time. Cash only business (there is an ATM on site). read more

My family loves this place! The atmosphere,l and the food is great! Bring cash though!

Amazing seafood! You won't be disappointed. Very small seating area inside, but there is outdoor seating as well. The inside is cooled with 2 window unit air conditioners & it can be warm inside even with them both going full blast. read more

Four stars only because the size of the building. Viki being my aunt, this is the best seafood off the coast. When ever I can make the drive the food is always fresh and the tea is always sweet. Baby shrimp and chicken is my go to plate with fries, deep fried in their peanut oil brought out in a basket. Love this place, and if you're in the area, you're missing out if you haven't had it yet. read more

This used to be our favorite seafood restaurant in our area.....tonight it's the worst experience we have had just about anywhere. People have been complaining almost all night. We should have left. We have been told repeatedly that our order is coming out next...table after table that arrived after us has been served....now they come out and tell us they are out of two things we ordered...then we are told there are still 4 orders ahead of us....unf'ing believable!!! How can there be 4 orders ahead of us when multiple tables have been served before us? read more

There are so many negatives to this place that it's hard to know where to begin! First off, the manager (or possibly the owner) is unbelievably rude. Her attitude is so off putting that I can't believe we gave the restaurant a second chance but we did. The service is slow, rude and negligible. The food both times was disappointing, reasonably priced but no quality. We eat out frequently and certainly know the difference between a good experience and a bad one! Don't waste your time or your money. There are plenty of places in the area that will appreciate you and provide a good meal. read more

After moving to the area and hearing all the locals rave over this place my husband and I along with our two kids decided to try it out and I was so overly disappointed with the entire experience! First off it's basically a large shed with ply wood was inside and Christmas lights strung as decorations. Then I quickly realized that are not at all fond of children (even though my kids sit quietly and behave at restaurants) which was not a welcoming feeling. We opened our menus to find that EVERYTHING is fried but decided to order anyway. Presentation was as horrible as the culinary skill and we were not impressed at all. Food wasn't horrible but nothing to rave over. The cole slaw was bland and tasted pepper, fries were disgusting and the fried shrimp could've been pre made from a box ! Our bill for the four of us was over $120 and did not warrant the meal. Also, the waitresses there are nasty, rude and act as if customers are an inconvenience. I will never go back to paying for TV and hope to save others time and money checking out read more

Seafood is excellent also steaks. Won't seat a lot of people so you may have to wait.

Drove from out of state with my girlfriend to eat here because the seafood options in my area are limited. The customer service was horrendous! The inside was packed so we went to the outside covered area expecting faster service. 35 minutes later 3 tables were open all covered in the previous party's trash. A regular who stated he had known the owner for 20 years approached me and said he would help me clean off a table so we could have a seat. At this point the waitress flipped out. Said she would be in trouble if her manager saw us cleaning off the table and we should stop. He told her we had been waiting for 40 minutes and needed a seat and this was ridiculous. We proceeded to clean the table off anyways and took our seat. A party of 3 walked up and was seated immediately. Their drink order was taken and they received their drinks before we had any interaction with the waitress other than cleaning off our table. Needless to say, we got up and left. Glad I've never spent a dime at this establishment and will never do so. read more

Would give less than one star if it was possible! Went to Palmetto Seafood tonight to get carry out for Mothers Day. Called in order. Got there and they didn't take credit cards. (They could have told me this) Got food and upon arriving at home found cold French fries, two small pieces of fish on each plate. 1 tiny container of slaw to share (I guess 1/2 tsp each?) The fish was wafer thin with bones. The hush puppies were burnt and harder than a rock. There was one package of ketchup in one box and a small container of tomato sauce with the slaw tossed in the top of the bag. I thought it was marinara for the onion rings I purchased but I now assume they ran out of ketchup and put some in a container for us??? Not sure though as it tasted like tomato sauce. There was also something that looked like coal in with the hush puppies. It may have been a very overcooked hush puppy???? I live in Clover and this was to be a big treat for me as I had really been wanting fish. So very disappointed! Don't waste your time or money. Btw/ I have never written a bad review before and I really try to support local businesses. read more
