    Oysters Roasted Red's Way
    Beth C.

    It's bare bones and shabby chic at this Shims Creek location. We had a great view and enjoyed watching the dolphins swim along Shims Creek while enjoying cocktails and some dinner on the back deck. Service was a bit slow in the beginning, but picked up once the staff changed-Cameron was terrific. There were plenty of propane heaters to keep us warm. We ordered the oysters Roasted Red's Way, a blackened grouper sandwich, and a shrimp Baja bowl. The oysters were very tasty, but we wish they separated the oysters from the shell prior to cooking and service. The grouper sandwich was cooked perfectly and was a good portion of fish. The cucumber salad side packed a good punch of vinegar but was a little too sweet for our taste. The Baja Bowl had a hefty portion of shrimp, but they were a bit salty.

    Low. Country Boil!

    3 ate for $107 with appetizer and before tip - Fish N Chips on point - if you are a malt vinegar with your battered fish person these are a home run! The Bubba Shrimp gave 4 different flavors - all good and dipping sauces for each - the boil was solid - indoor and outdoor seating - solid meal - portion size good

    Go fish -- as in grouper sandwich with house fries.

    A stubborn thunderstorm, flash flood warnings and ankle-deep parking lots didn't stop our visit for Saturday lunch. The staff shared extra cloth napkins as we dried a bit and then ordered. Our choice was a small low country boil or a fried grouper sandwich. The latter won and so did we. The fish was lightly fried and very tasty. It spilled way over the large bun. The signature fries were an enacted bonus. Other orders at our table included skewered grill shrimp, burgers and a buffalo wrap. All were memorable. Even amid a deluge, the vibe was fun and creek views spectacular. This is the spot for waterfront dining in Mount Pleasant.

    I had a cousin come in from out of town and this is the first place we took her to. We were hoping to grab a water view table, but there were none available. It was an hour wait for outside seating, so we just settled for an indoor table which took about 30 minutes. While waiting, we went to the rooftop for the view and to grab a drink and then hung out by the bar downstairs. The high top tables were first come first served, so we tried to grab one, but none became available. Sitting inside, the waitress was very polite. The food we ordered was good. Filling. No complaints. My sister and I had the Palmetto Burger and it hit the spot. I would've ordered more drinks if the waitress came by often. But I guess it wasn't meant to be.

    You're lucky if you find a spot to park that doesn't require payment. Shem Creek is full of beautiful sights and so many who want to enjoy it... parking has become the problem over the years. So, ride share, walk or get there early! Cause you'll wanna not miss the bartenders slinging up some yummy drinks! Once you're at Red's you can forget your worries and relax there's plenty of deck space for all. And if you want to beat the heat, also window views! We went for a Sunday funday- Think... Cherry Limeade with a fresh taste and just the right radio or tartness to sweet! Beatbox... BUCKET! Orange and tropical. 32oz. Bring a friend! Frozen Lemonade with firefly vodka. Basically a Frozen Arnold Palmer. So refreshing! This one was totally worth the trip! And return! Will return for food soon, but today was all about the bevvies!

    Had a nice meal on a Friday afternoon at this funky place. Good crowd with lots of activity. Food and service were both great. Outdoor area was heated which made for a nice day!

    Lobster Roll
    Jules K.

    We came here for a late dinner. We were seated after a 20 min wait. We ordered a lobster roll, 1/2 dozen oysters, mango daiquiri, and fish and chips. The daiquiri was pretty tasty. The lobster roll was okay. It was a bit bland, bo salt or seasoning and I bit into a shell. I think so melted butter would've helped. The oysters looked big at first glance but were actually very thin once off the shell. Again, needed a good dipping sauce but the cocktail was okay. My hubs said his fish and chips were okay as well. I think overall we were underwhelmed. I think maybe you would come for the view but it was dark when we came so that wasn't a perk for us. The food was okay and on the pricier side when compared to quality and quantity.

    We sat at the bar and outside. Very dicey and lots of character! We got our drinks super fast!

    Should we arrive early for all you can eat crab legs? Should we expect a very long wait time? Thanks!

    Yes! You can expect a 1-2 hour wait. When we were there it was 2 hours and they went thru 2,000 pounds of crab legs😬! It's worth the wait, ENJOY!

    When and how much is the all you can eat crablegs?

The food was incredible, and one of the things that really stands out is that they actually have a Lowcountry boil on their regular menu, which you surprisingly do not see that often around Charleston. It is a great option if you want something classic and shareable for the table. The location is also a big part of the experience. You are right on the marsh at Shem Creek, and if you time it around sunset the views are awesome. It is one of those places where you can just sit back, enjoy the scenery, and take your time with the meal. Service was really good and the staff kept everything moving smoothly even though it was busy. Only thing to know ahead of time is that parking can be a little tricky, especially during peak hours since the spots fill up quickly. Just give yourself a little extra time. Overall, a really fun spot with great food, beautiful views, and a perfect place to celebrate with a group. Would definitely go back.

I ordered the happy hour wings and was honestly disappointed. The portion was barely a serving, and they didn't even toss the wings, just fried them and dumped a heavy amount of seasoning on top. No balance at all. I also had the crab cake sandwich with waffle fries. The sandwich itself was good, but the fries were just okay at best. A lot of them were so hard you couldn't even bite into them, which was frustrating. Another downside was the pricing. I didn't like that they charge different prices for cash vs. card. Being charged extra just for using a card feels outdated and should be clearly stated beforehand. Overall, some things were decent, but between the small portions, poorly prepared sides, and the card fee, I probably wouldn't rush back

We sat inside late afternoon and loved the atmosphere. We started with the Pineapple Martini and the T&T Martini (olive oil washed vodka, vermouth & blue cheese stuffed olives).

Everything was so flavorful that no extra salt or pepper was needed. The shrimp & grits had the perfect spicy kick -- seriously delicious. We skipped dessert, but the highlight afterward was spotting a dolphin swimming through the channel. Such a perfect ending to a really enjoyable meal. Definitely recommend!

The area we requested was empty our entire time there. Hostess tried to seat us outside in a crowded corner, we requested indoors, so we were seated next to the kitchen. Our waitress was friendly, brought our drinks quickly and took our orders. We specifically requested apps and dinner not be on top of each other. As we were finishing our apps a waiter/ busboy came with meals. I asked, "Could you clear these dirty plates?" " Not with my hands full" l was told. So our dirty plates, silverware, left over food and dirty table now also held our meals. Yuck! Food wise there were many nice choices and the restaurant was beautiful. Service wise l can do without a smug kid who doesn't understand how to do his job. The place was not busy and if our experience is typical of their service l can understand why.
