5 Stars - Bring your appetite and your beach vibes! Listen--I don't know who this seafood spot thinks it is, but they are not playing around. First of all, the portion sizes? Massive. Like "I came hungry and still left with a to-go box the size of a carry-on" massive. If your fork isn't trembling from the weight of shrimp and scallops, did you even eat here? The food? Slaps. Like "call your mama and tell her you found seafood that tastes like a hug" good. Everything was seasoned perfectly, cooked fresh, and tasted like it came straight from the coast--probably because the decor had me wondering if I accidentally drove to Florida. Nautical-themed, beachy vibes, clean enough to make a health inspector weep with joy. Now let's talk service. Our server was so nice I started wondering if they were trained in hospitality and emotional support. Fast, friendly, and made us feel like welcomed. And the prices? Let me put it this way: the food you get for the money feels borderline illegal (but in a good way). I've paid more for sad fish tacos at the airport. If you're craving seafood that tastes great, fills you up, doesn't break the bank, and makes you feel like you're eating dinner on a coastal vacation--you've found your spot. Pro tip: bring stretchy pants! read more

South carolina is not a good place to go get food. Overcooked salmon. And just generally so much greasy stuff. I love how everybody gobbles down those greasy hush puppies. Ick. The service is top notch. At least there's that. read more

Silver Bay is one of our family favorites. If you are looking for fresh-tasting seafood in a pleasant environment, at a very reasonable price, you'll want to try them. The restaurant is quite large, and beautifully appointed with coastal decor and lovely aquariums. Prices are very reasonable with quite a few 'specials' that are under $10!! We find the service to be consistently excellent. The first thing that happens is a big bowl of hushpuppies which are hot and crispy. We prefer the fried seafood selections. My husband typically gets the popcorn shrimp which is lightly breaded and tastes fresh and buttery. I order something different every time I go, and I've never been disappointed! Today I had the broiled grouper, which was phenomenal! It was lightly seasoned, cooked to perfection, and buttery without being greasy! Yummers! We have some family members that do not eat seafood, and they also love Silver Bay, as their non-seafood selections are quite tasty as well. We typically leave with a to-go box and the next night's dinner, as portions are plentiful, but if you have room, they also offer an array of bakery goods. Silver Bay does not have a full bar, but limited beer and wine selections are available. We just love Silver Bay! read more

We ordered delivery. One plate was fried catfish & fried oysters. Mine was fried catfish and had 3 large fillets with about 20 hushpuppies ! The food is quite plentiful & tasty. You have the option to add salt & pepper if you like. I only have a photo of my plate after eating. read more

My wife and I drove over to the area from TN recently. We found this spot and ate there the first night. Food was amazing and service was exceptional. It was so good, we had to come back the night before we were returning home. Would highly recommend! read more

Silver Bay is pretty standard. I just don't understand how you can call yourself a seafood restaurant and not offer either crab or scallops.

I personally love their food I've been going there for years, always been a great experience for me

If you want quality for your money, stop by. There Combination plates and satisfying. Desserts are unbelievable

Stopped in while traveling through town for a quick lunch. Was quickly greeted and seated by the staff. My waitress took the time to talk me through the specials and her recommendations as it was my first time there. Free hush puppies were a plus. Order the Buffalo shrimp app and it was solid. Had blackened snapper with fried okra and a house salad for my main. The place would have gotten 5 stars from me had the snapper not had skin on one side and was actually blackened. It didn't stop me from finishing my food and would definitely stop in again. read more

Been here twice for takeout with rude and rushed service. This time I asked several times if my sauces were in the bag and when I get home I was missing extra ranch that I paid for, no tartar sauce or cocktail sauce at all, no straws for the drinks and no napkins, they forgot my salads and I had to go back in for that after I made it out to the car. When my husband called the store to see if he could run back up to the store for the sauce, the lady on the phone told him "I don't know what you want me to do, you can come get the sauces." Terrible service. I asked two people if the plates had the sauces included and they assured me they were in there. So I paid $34 to be irritated and eat a dry meal. Won't be coming back to silver bay anytime soon. read more

Atmosphere was inviting and bright. We had a large party and anything was set up well. Our waitress was friendly and the food was good, fresh and plentiful. I would definitely go again in the near future. read more

The steak and grilled shrimp is amazing. The staff is always nice and fast. They keep it moving and keep drinks filled.

The fried shrimp plate was very good. Fried crispy, excellent taste. The baked potato was very good. Coleslaw was tasty & fresh! Hubby's sirloin steak was extremely good and very tender it melted in your mouth! The baby shrimp were delicious also... We will be back! read more

Great food, huge portions and good prices. We almost went to GC, what a mistake that would have been. Aki took such great care of us. Just the right amount of checking on us without hovering. We'll definitely be back and recommend to everyone. read more

A friendly greeting, and we were seated quickly. Our waitress came over and indicated that she was news to please bear with her which we did. They brought us over a bowl of hush puppies with our drinks, and they were absolutely delicious. Be careful of these things because they're so good you'll eat too many and you won't eat your dinner. we had the fried shrimp and the other meal was the salmon salad and both were very good. My only minor complaint was the clam chowder was not very good. Our waitress did her best and made it through and we enjoyed our meal. Too full for dessert. #stevensleavin read more

Oysters were very tough and chewy where we had to spit them out bc we couldn't chew them. Way too expensive to not be able to enjoy them.

Went here on Friday May12th. Food and service excellent. Had enough to take home and eat two more meals out of it!

Silver Bay Seafood Restaurant 6513 White Horse Rd Greenville, SC 29611 Friday June 30, 2017 6:30pm I knew I was going to be in the Greenville SC area and I knew my family would like to try a seafood restaurant in the area. Yelp helped me decide on the Silver Bay Seafood Restaurant. I was very impressed with their large menu and the many options they offered. Upon arriving I was also super impressed that they were able to seat a large party of 15 with in minutes of walking in. The staff is very friendly and the server was very attentive to our party. Before everyone arrived to the table she provided pitchers of sweet tea and water and hush puppies. She was very helpful in splitting checks and trying to keep us all organized. Another nice thing is they provided potato wedges and ranch dipping sauce complimentary for large parties of 8 or more. I ordered the jumbo shrimp plate with the potato wedges as my side item. I was very happy with my dish. Most of my family was also happy with their selections. One of my aunts did comment that she felt the food could of had some more seasoning to it. Overall I think the Silver Bay Seafood Restaurant is a great choice. It's very large. Nicely decorated and reasonable. I would definitely return. read more

Terrible greeting Asked to sit in a particular place and told that restaurants section closed. This was 7:35 pm on a Friday Seated at a table was told there no condiment so someone might get you some Brought cold hush puppies no butter or plates. Server clueless and we had to ask for butter and things twice. This restaurant apparently wants you to come very early so you so no inconvenience their cleaning of tables at 7:30 pm to go home when their hours on their website say they are open till 10pm. The food was good and at least came out hot. The server Clara was nice. Listening to a vacuum cleaner the entire dinner was NOT a great atmosphere. Silver Bay needs to decide if they open serve customers instead of clean and vacuum and make you feel like you in their way I will think twice before returning and so should you Too many places appreciate your money to waste it on a vacuum cleaner sound and rude hostess trying to get home read more

To go orders called ahead are not made until you arrive if you pay cash. The phone employee said that the owners take no show orders out of their paychecks, so they only do card over the phone. read more

Great service and very good prices. We had lunch and enjoyed it. Will be going back soon.

Wow! Awful experience and treated like garbage from the owner! I'm under dietary restrictions so I ordered a kids plate of boiled calabash shrimp. But when paying the bill, instead of the 6.99 kids meal they changed it to an adult priced meal of 13.99. Asked the manager to fix it but he got belligerent and said no that food costs where too high for discounts. That I was a large adult so I should pay according. (Fat shaming me) I said well the waitress never said no I couldn't or I would have switch my meal to something better. So the owner said pay the whole bill and never come back to his restaurant. Damn his attitude and I will NEVER spend a single cent there again! read more

The Establishment on White Horse Road used to be excellent, however, i ordered a to go order of fried scallops and what i received is pathetic, the deluxe seafood plater used to have more scallops upon it, which was a plate of multiple foods, than this order of just scallops, i can only imagine they were boiled first then fried then reheated in a micowave, due to i at first thought it was something imitation, to charge $29.00 for something this pathetic and almost inedible is crazy Hush puppies though are still excellent, i will never visit your establishment again read more

Food is delicious. And the wait staff are some of the best I have ever had. Always attentive and see to your needs. Their tea is too expensive. I recommend just getting water. It saves a lot on the bill. Will definitely return. read more

Average little seafood spot. I do love the fried baby shrimp and they give you quite a bit! I will go again and try some other items!

This is one of the best seafood restaurants that I have ever been to. I wish thaat it was closer to my home and we would frequent this place. The service was extremely excellent and so was the food, The server was very helpful and caring. My kids are picky eaters and they even ate their food here. Our server even helped remind them that they should eat before the food became cold and offered sauce to them. She was like a grandma and was very sweet. I wish I could remember her name. The restaurant was immaculate in cleanliness and was nicely decorated. They had a nice wall painting inside as well as live decorative fish in a big tank. Outside they had a little lighthouse on top. While talking to them inside I found out a little history about the place when I asked if they had more locations. It was interesting... the place is also family owned and they catch most of the seafood they prepare themselves from their own boat! I can't wait to go back someday! This place is the best! read more

Great service food was hot and fresh waitress was polite and friendly great prices will definitely go back

Horrible management and customer service. I ordered a takeout combo of flounder abd baby shrimp When they brought it out and showed me the plate once peice of flounder was golden and beautiful but the other piece was was not completely breaded and very small. I complained and asked for the strange looking peice be replaced. I thought it was being done so I waited 15 additional minutes. No one told me that they were refusing to correct the problem. I finally asked and they told me a a woman speaking Korean had said she wasnt going to serve me and threw my plate in the trash. I left and vowed never to patronize Silver Bay again. Their seafood and service is not what it used to be...beware. They were very unprofessional and their food quality is slipping. I was very unhappy. read more

Ive eaten here over 5 times and thats enough for a 5 star review! This restaurant is local to my residence & a pretty good seafood spot for local Berea residents! It is a very busy place on Sundays i found out so usually i do call in my order ahead of time but it is always ready fresh and hot to go and i love that! The perch plate and shrimp and calabash chicken is my favorite plate to get! The tartar sauce is delicious! Thanks for everything! read more

We met my oldest niece and her boyfriend for dinner at Silver Bay Seafood on white horse rd. Lauren and I got the AYCE crab legs. Justin ordered crab leg cluster plate. Wayne had shrimp. Lauren and I, being the crab leg queens that we are, ate 3 refills of crab legs. Ordered the 4th refill, only to have an older waitress come tell us the manager/owner said we could not have anymore because we were sharing. First she pointed to Justin and said crab was being shared with him. We told her we wanted to see the manager who was accusing us of sharing. He finally came to the table and said he had me on camera sharing with Wayne. Wayne does NOT eat crab. He kept accusing us of sharing. We were all telling him he was a liar (yes, we got loud), when he suggested Wayne come look at the camera footage. He kept saying we would be embarrassed when we saw what was on camera. Wayne, ever ready to get to the truth, follows him and the manager is still taking his time getting to the camera footage, when what he saw was me reaching to get the melted butter. Wayne pointed that out to him and came back to the table. Manager NEVER apologized but sent our waiter(who was wonderful through all this) to tell us we could have more crab and a dessert if we wanted. Nope, never again! Then another employee comes by and asks what the fuss was about. We tell them and their words " he does that crap every time". That tells me it's listed all you can eat, but he's going to cut you off and accuse you of something you didn't do! So if you want crab legs, don't go to Silver Bay Seafood or they will accuse you of sharing. In fact, if you want seafood, go somewhere else. My husband who is always so calm was ready to thump him a good one (that's my boy). I just know the money that we have always spent there will be spent somewhere else. read more

I want to first say, my fried shrimp was delicious! This was definitely an experience. First, we were seated and waited a while before we got waited on. Meanwhile, we were given a complimentary appetizer of fried green tomatoes because the wait staff couldn't figure out which table ordered them. We had handled the appetizer plates and handed them out to our table (6 of us). Just as we were about to put the green tomatoes on our plates a hand comes and grabs them from us!!! They had found the table that ordered them, removed them from our table and gave them to the other table. We didn't have a problem with not having the tomatoes just the fact that they had already sat them on our table and walked away. They had no clue if we had touched the food or what we may have done to it. Not only that, they took the appetizer plates that we had already handled and gave them to the other table! If this had been our actual order and they had already put it on another table, walked away, I would have been livid!! I thought there was a health code about food that had already been delivered and walked away? Next, one of the people, in our party, ordered salad without tomatoes. When waitress delivered the food and called out salad with his dressing, he said mine but I ordered without tomatoes. She removed the tomatoes off the salad WITH HER HANDS!!! . How unsanitary is that? The salads had a lot of water, so much they couldn't eat the bottom of the salad due to it mixing with the dressing. (4 people). We have no intentions of coming back to this restaurant. If they will pull tomatoes off with their bare hands at the table what in the world will they do in the kitchen where we can't see them?? read more

All of a sudden they changed how they make their french fries. Before it was well sliced and was free of any orange additive that the current one has. It is not as good as before. Everything else was about the same except the prices seem to be gradually increasing as everywhere else. read more

I was eager to try this spot since my wife raves about a recent lunch she had there. I will start with the positives. The parking lot is huge with plenty of parking. We were immediately seated despite it being a Friday evening. The complimentary hush puppies were hands down some of the best I have had. That about does it for positives. Our waitress was Reba. While I wouldn't say she was rude, she wasn't friendly either. Indifferent would be a good word. Menus were kind of tossed on the table, a pitcher of water and sweet tea were as well. Just not a friendly person. I ordered the broiled plate and the crab cake was just a dry salty mass of nasty. It clearly had been sitting under a heat lamp for some time. The broiled flounder was dry and strong tasting in a way fresh flounder should never be. Prior to leaving my wife and daughter use the restroom. While in the restroom they observed several employees in there using their cell phones. Not sure if it was a Union break or if they use that space to Tweet about the bad food they just served customers while hiding from management. One of the employees did tell my wife that they were all checking text messages. Who knows what that's about... My wife apologized multiple times for recommending the place and said that it was nothing like she experienced during her lunch visit. Maybe an off night? I don't know but I'll leave that to you to figure out because I won't be back. read more

We usually enjoy eating here but on our last visit, we were pretty much ignored for about 20 minutes. Once they realized that we hadn't been helped, they slowly came around and gave us a menu. I ordered the boiled shrimp cold but got them hot...not a big problem. On prior visits, service has been prompt and courteous so the lag this time was a surprise. The food is consistently good, not gourmand, but tasty. They start you with a basket of delicious hush puppies, which made up for being ignored for so long. I wish they'd just BAKE their potatoes instead of "steaming" them in an aluminum foil wrap. They'd also save some money! Not a fan of foil wrapping 'taters! If you like the taste of down home seafood fare, you'll enjoy Silver Bay. There is plenty of free parking in front, in back and on the side of the restaurant. read more

Despite hating Silver Bay, I reluctantly came for a family lunch last Sunday and had a surprisingly good meal. I ordered the steak, popcorn shrimp and a baked potato. The steak was nice and juicy and the popcorn shrimp was a crunchy and savory treat. There was a little brat banging his silverware on the table for a significant portion of our meal, which was very annoying, and management did not address the issue. Finally, a fellow diner here went over and put a stop to it. Her services did not go unappreciated. This is the first visit to Silver Bay that did not leave me violently ill, so for that I thank you. See you at the next family lunch. read more

My husband and I eat here often. The food is really good and the servers are polite and friendly. I ordered a fish sandwich for the first time and it was great. It came on a big bun and served with coleslaw and to my surprise a few onion rings. I ordered the potato wedges to go with my sandwich. The selection is very good on the menu and prices are good. This place is always busy on Sunday when we go but we don't have to wait to long to get seated with just the two of us. The server brings an order of potato wedges and hush puppies when get seated. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves good food. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped here on a whim on our way home from vacation. We split the fried combo platter with popcorn shrimp, clam strips, and grouper. It was a TON of food for $20 -- we were both stuffed and still and still had an entire to-go box to take home. Everything was wonderful, including the service! I believe our waitresses' name was Ashley; she was also training someone who did a lovely job but I didn't catch her name. They were both super nice and attentive! We will definitely be back. (I will say, I wouldn't order the clam strips again, but that's just a personal preference). Also, honorable mention for the excellent hush puppies! read more

They tried to pass off Flounder as Grouper. I sent it back and they sent another piece of Flounder. Waitress didn't know the difference but she told me the cook did. If you eat fish, you know there's a huge difference between Grouper and Flounder. I'm never going back. They can't be trusted. No telling what else they're lying about!! read more

Yuck. All three of us ordered the boiled shrimp salad which was full of undeveined shrimp. Worst salad I've ever had. The shrimp also tasted like they had been sitting in brine. We did get a "big" 20% off the bill after we nicely complained. Also the waitress looked a bit untidy. Between her purple uncombed hair & nose ring she wasn't really a good representation of the restaurant. We saw her only when she delivered the food & that was enough. This was the establishment in Greer. read more

Excellent find! The service was super friendly, and almost too fast!! Hush puppies brought over right away. The food? Fantastic. Cooked perfectly and plenty of it. Top that off with the visual temptation of the cake display and this place was awesome. Yes, HAD to get cake to take home for later!! Only thing they need is to serve beer! read more
