    She crab soup
    S R.

    She crab soup was phenomena!! Fish was fresh and fries were cooked to perfection. Mustard is in packets, but I guess just a few of us like our fries with mustard. We sat with views of the boats! Service was quick and efficient. This will be our go to place at Georgetown.

    View from the table, Last Haul is a beautiful vessel!

    Very nice place to grab a bite to eat! Portions were large, you won't leave hungry. Easy to find parking along Front street, the whole street is parking which is nice for all the businesses there. I had the seafood gumbo which was tasty and had what I considered a good amount of shrimp and scallops, I don't think they try and cheat you with the proteins. Didn't have the depth of flavor you'd find in Louisiana but still delicious. Vegetables and seafood bits were not overcooked at all, rice was fluffy. The info on Yelp needs to be updated. First, the website is different and you need to google it. Also there are discrepancies on the menu. Seafood gumbo may be a new addition and isn't listed? Also Oysters Rock and Pirate Special are both things I definitely would have ordered but are not currently available. Overall great place, give it a try!

    Came up to Georgetown from Charleston and decided to eat lunch here. Beautiful view of the river, great ambiance, wonderful service and delicious food. Nancy was our server and she was friendly and prompt. I ordered a cheeseburger (cooked to order!), which was delicious. My mother ordered the chicken salad sandwich and said it was great. Both fries- home and sweet potato were good, plus tasty onion rings.

    Delicious beyond description! I can't share the photo of my husband's steak because it was eaten so quickly! His 10 oz ribeye grilled to perfection! Definitely recommend

    Wonderful location, great food, and fabulous service. River Room located right on the River Room located right on the Harbor Walk. We had a wonderful table with a nice view of the River and the Harbor walk. I enjoyed looking out and seeing people walking and some boats come by. Our food was great! We ordered the Crab Cakes and the Salmon Vegetable Bowl. It was one of the most perfectly cooked pieces of Salmon I've had in a while. It was crispy on the outside while still being moist and flakey inside. My husband enjoyed his crab cakes and it truly contained a lot of crab, not fillers. The complimentary corn bread was so good and the salads accompanying our meal were fresh. Overall, a delicious meal, with a great view and good service.

    My wife, parents, and I went here to celebrate our wedding and had an absolutely amazing dinner…read more The staff was so kind and made us feel welcome from the moment we came in. Every dish felt curated and intentional. We started with the crab dip and corn bread and both were delicious. The Miso butter that comes with the cornbread gave it such a pleasant Umami note. For dinner we had the Chicken, Scallops, Pork Chop, and Shrimp and Grits. The carrot puree that held the scallops was so smooth, sweet, and rich. It complimented the scallops perfectly. My shrimp and grits were fantastic. The grits were the perfect texture, and the shrimp cooked to perfection. The bone in pork chop was perfectly cooked, was seasoned so well, and extremely tender and juicy. I think I was most impressed with the chicken, sweet potatoes, and bacon jam. It's hard to explain but the bourbon bacon jam almost tasted like how it smells when they smoke a cocktail, in the best way. The sweet potatoes tasted incredible and balanced out the savory chicken. I really can't recommend this resteraunt enough. From the food, to the service and the ambiance, everything was fantastic. I've dined at a handful of Michelin starred resteraunts and the overall quality and completion of the dishes here easily competes and surpasses those experiences. Thank you for such a wonderful dinner

For the main I decided to go with the scallops. They were cooked well but could have been seasoned a bit more but still good. One item of note is that the scallops meal is a bit light so if you are really hungry, get a side item or maybe something else. The service was really good. She provided suggestions, checked on us often and was very knowledgeable. A good experience overall.

    Came to SoCo for a nice lunch outside on a beautiful fall day. Not real busy downtown along front…read morestreet on a Tuesday, which was perfect from all the tourist places in MB. We're greeted quickly and asked to sit outside where they have about 8 tables with some shade along Front Street. There are a lot of items on the menu at SoCo, so don't forget to look at the backside! A couple orders came out and I almost ordered one of the burgers, but I decided to try something different.. Ended up ordering the John's Island Buttermilk boneless chicken with pepper gravy and blue cheese cole slaw! Plus you also get to order one side dish! Ordered the grits and palmetto cheese as my side, but there were plenty of great options to choose from. My wife ordered the wedge salad topped with grouper, but our server wasn't sure if they had grouper available that day. So, about 15-20 minutes later, which was fine as we were enjoying our alfresco experience our meals arrived. Guess they had the grouper available. My wife loved her salad and the grouper was perfectly cooked. I was surprised at the size of the fish tbh. My wife would not hesitate to order hers again! My John's Island, was sooooo tender with a great crust and just enough pepper gravy. The chicken was still very warm and by not smothering completely the chicken with the gravy, it was still very crispy. The blue cheese slaw was good, but should have been on the side of the plate not with the chicken sitting on top of it. You kinda get confused with the pepper gravy on top and under the chicken is the blue cheese slaw. I was a little disappointed with the grits. The grits were not as warm as the chicken and I think it was in part due to the cold palmetto cheese, which I mixed with the grits. The grits were good just not the right temp imo. Overall a really good meal on a beautiful day, what more could you ask for?

    We were not quite hungry enough for lunch so we opted for a few appetizers and Bloody Marys…read more We started with an order of fried okra served with roasted red pepper bacon jam. It was delicious, but I would suggest that they serve the roasted red pepper, bacon jam more at a room, temperature and not served cold. We also ordered the fried green tomatoes. They were on top of a serving of grits. The tomatoes themselves were pretty good however, the grits did not have any flavor. I was not a fan of the sauce that was served with them. The Bloody Marys were pretty good but seemed like the mixer was watered down alittle. Great olives and okra with the Bloody Mary! Service was good!

    Here's a fun, original review you can post for Buzz's Roost:…read more If you're driving from Charleston to Myrtle Beach after work, do yourself a favor and skip the predictable Taco Bell drive-thru. Instead, take a scenic detour to Georgetown's charming Front Street and Riverwalk, where dinner feels like the start of a mini vacation. We pulled into Buzz's Roost around 8 p.m. on a cool, damp Friday night in May, and the New England clam chowder was exactly what the doctor ordered. Warm, creamy, and comforting, it melted away the stress of the workweek with the very first spoonful. Our blackened fresh fish sandwiches were outstanding. The fish was perfectly cooked, and the seasoning had just the right kick to remind you that simple food can still be unforgettable. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. With its exposed brick interior and waterfront setting, Buzz's Roost feels like a cozy warehouse transformed into a laid-back riverfront hangout. Friendly service made us feel right at home, and the skeeball and foosball tables were tempting enough that we're already planning a return visit. I can easily picture coming back on a warm summer evening--or even during football season--to soak in the Riverwalk views, enjoy a great meal, and unwind. They also brew their own beer, which is a nice touch. My only wish is that they offered a non-alcoholic beer on draft for those of us making the road trip and keeping it light. Buzz's Roost is more than just a restaurant stop--it's a reminder that sometimes the best part of the journey is pulling over and discovering a place you can't wait to revisit.
