Their brisket was excellent and I do my own smoking of briskets, and my wife even said it was rivaling mine! Drinks were great and not light poures! Had a blue Long Island iced tea, which was tasty and strong. Love that you can get Mexican food and some sushi, and there was a great atmosphere along with big screen TVs. Already hit with the locals and would definitely go back next time we visit our friends there!

While visiting Edisto Island, we decided we didn't feel like going out to sit down and eat, so we…read moredid a quick search for somewhere nearby to grab a pickup order and landed on Whaley's Restaurant & Bar. Ordering was quick and easy with no issues at all. When we arrived, we waited a short bit at the bar while the food was being prepared, but nothing too bad. Overall, the food was pretty good! The crab bisque was delicious and definitely one of my favorite things we ordered. The crab cake was tasty too, although it was a little more breaded than I personally prefer. The fried stuffed bacon-wrapped shrimp was probably the biggest disappointment of the meal, but not terrible. My friend enjoyed her food she ordered, though I can't remember the exact name of it. Service was decent -- nothing over-the-top amazing, but the staff wasn't rude either, so I'll take it! Overall, I'd give Whaley's about a 3.5 to 4-star experience. I'd probably go back, and if you're in the area looking for a convenient seafood spot near the beach, I'd say give them a shot!

Roxbury Mercantile is one of those local spots that will definitely keep bringing me back!…read more There's some cool history behind the setting too. The original Roxbury Mercantile was a country store owned by the Barnwell family that served the Edisto Island and St. Paul's Parish communities for nearly 80 years before burning down in 1983. Today, it's been brought back to life as a restaurant but the Barnwell family (yes the same OG family) has kept the old country store feel to it which I loved. The place was PACKED when we arrived for dinner, but we were somehow seated almost immediately. I ordered the Cheshire Heritage Pork Chop (it was sweet tea-brined, hickory smoked and finished with Roxbury Gold glaze) and a side of mac & cheese and butter beans. SO good. The butter beans were a little so so but everything else was absolutely delicious and didn't have a bite left once I through with it. The only detractor was the service. Our server seemed a little overwhelmed, and a few requests were forgotten so we occasionally had to flag down another employee. Nothing that ruined the experience though. Between the history, rustic decor, atmosphere and FOOD, Roxbury Mercantile won me over. I'll definitely be back! If you're a local or in the CHarleston area, make sure to check it out.

It comes with French fries, coleslaw, hush puppies and fried shrimp. The shrimp are good size. We're not talking popcorn shrimp. I'm from the area and I would say maybe a few of them are on the smaller size, but definitely not popcorn size. The vast majority are medium bordering on large. They are seasoned and fried extremely well. The fries are good, your basic fries. I love their coleslaw, it reminds me of KFC. My husband isn't a fan but to each his own. Their hush puppies are delicious!! And their sauce is on point! I usually prefer tartar sauce but their house sauce is so delicious I don't want tartar sauce. I got 28 shrimp with my basket! And like I said I'm not talking about popcorn shrimp. Look at the picture. Go there and get some fresh seafood that is cooked right. You won't be disappointed.

The flies in this place were as thick as the Elmer's Glue they try and pass off as queso. The salsa tasted like someone put Rotel in ketchup. Not to mention you have to peck in your order at a computer screen. This place was so bad it was comical. The only place in America that serves a crappy, machine margarita in a plastic cup, WITH NO SALT!!! A margarita with no salt. This place could not try less.. Perfect example of a tourist trap with a captured audience. Please go here just to see how absurdly bad it is. . Terrible service, zero atmosphere, and food that was inedible, right down to the stale chips. Other than that, I hated it!!

Drawn by many recommendations and reviews, during our stay a the Tide in Folly beach, we decided to…read moretry Rita's for a breakfast and after looking at the menu very likely also to a nice birthday dinner for my wife. Well- with the above average pricing, I expect above average food. Simple. What we got was between borderline disgusting and the wish to just go in the kitchen and make it myself. My wife had the pancakes and I had the breakfast with potatoes 2 sunny side up eggs, 2 sausages and bacon. I mean- how do you think a sunny side up swimming in egg white on top is good? If they think that's how a sunny side up egg needs to look like- well- they might consider asking people next time- I make sunny side up eggs very often and there are tricks not to burn it and still have all of the egg white getting solid- If the cook doesn't know, feel free to contact me. I didn't say nothing because it took already almost 30 minutes for our 2 simple breakfasts to get to our table. The bacon was ok- and the potatoes also ok- I'm not saying good- I'm saying OK. The sausages super greasy. also- the salt in the salt dispenser was wet. I had to open the bottom to get salt out. Let's not forget this piece of rock supposedly a biscuit. It was burned and hard and Idk if it was just a left over from the day before or if the cook didn't know when to take it out of the oven. It was not edible. My wife's pancakes.. I don't know- they were dry, tasted like grease (Idk who makes pancakes in grease and not butter) and had a very weird color, what was even worse with the dark lighting (not an issue, it just increased the visual impression of the pancakes). My wife asked and they said- oh- we put some cinnamon in the doe. Well- Not saying my wife is allergic- but a warning would had been good- and maybe a choice, as it's not everyone's favorite to get pancakes with cinnamon in them which do not even taste remotely like cinnamon- I tried. And then charging us over $4,00 for sweet tea??? come on. I get that for soda- and for the beach- location- but come on... So overall- I will not say the food was super bad- it was on the verge where I'd say- if there would be a waffle house or a Cracker Barrel beside Rita's, go there. You get slightly better food quality for a 1/3rd of the price. Needless to say- we didn't eat there for my wife's birthday dinner. Over all- we paid a whooping $50.00 for 2 little below average breakfasts. So if people giving more than 2 starts for this restaurant- I wonder how bad of food they are actually used to. Conclusion: Absolutely not worth it.

Mother turned 82 and wanted a visit to Charleston with oysters on the request list. After spending the morning walking the Battery, Waterfront Park and Rainbow Row we took a nap. Arriving to Bowens brought back so many fond James Island/Folly Beach memories. We had a dozen raw and they were so juicy! Mother also had the fried delicious oysters plate while hubby ordered the fish and shrimp fried. I chose Frogmore stew. The view is incomparable! Being on the water near sunset even on a cloudy day was just the chefs kiss! The staff was super accommodating and even provided key lime pie for mother's birthday.

Yikes. I think we ordered the wrong thing!!…read more My husband and I came here for lunch after kayaking next door. We ordered the fish & chips plate to share. We are from the Northeast where ordering a seafood plate of any kind is plenty enough to share with one (or more) people, but NOT this one! The portion size was shockingly small in relation to the price (or it's just not what we're used to) and was not fit for sharing. The fish was flounder, which we've never had before and wanted to try it as we are used to having cod as the fish in "fish & chips." It looked flat and dry, and tasted as such even though it seemed to be fried nicely. After several bites, we decided we didn't like it but I cant figure out if that's because we actually don't like flounder or if maybe we got a bad piece of fish since it was really sad looking?? Anyways, I'm giving two stars as I liked the fries and hushpuppies. Everything seemed to be fried well. The people sitting at the bar next to us got completely different meals and they looked much better than ours. I'd be willing to come back and give this place another try as it was very crowded when we came so I understand any place can be busy and have an off-day!
