A nice dining spot on the water with great views! It was very crowded on a Saturday afternoon but my husband and I were able to snag two bar seats upstairs. We ordered a half pound of peel & eat shrimp to snack on while having some drinks. I'm not sure if I was just hungry or if the shrimp were actually as good as I thought they were! I wish we got the full pound. I would recommend checking this place out at an "off" time so it's not so crowded :) read more

This place has really good food! We visited during Shem Creek's Mardi Gras celebration, unbeknownst to us, so the whole area was busy! It took a bit for our food to come out and for waitstaff to tend to us, but we were able to enjoy the view while we waited. We sat outside at the high tables and were kind of forgotten about. The price for what we ordered was comparable to other places in the area, but a little high for what it is. I wasn't blown away by anything, the food was good and the views were lovely, but I feel the events of the day made this place more fun than anything. It's definitely a good place to stop by and get food though! read more

Sunsets at Shem Creek is an awesome spot for the summer & a night out! The outdoor seating is fantastic & there's tons of great food & drinks! The Charleston vibes here are on point! You can never go wrong with a seafood boil; it's filled with all the good stuff! The seafood platter is extra tasty & the hushpuppies are delicious! I really enjoyed the lychee martini too - give them a try! read more

Ordered shrimp and scallops risotto it looked like rice and shrimp soup. Sent it back it was dried out probably due to it being microwaved. Had no taste at all. The music was way too loud we couldn't talk at the table without shouting. If I go back I would sit outside and get a burger read more

The food and services was amazing. We sat right off the water and enjoyed great music food Sights to behold! read more

Food was perfect for Shem Creek. Genuinely better than a lot of his nearby competitors. The sushi burrito, smack down shrimp, and Brussels sprouts were huge hits at our table. Only reason I'm giving 4 starts is they were incredibly understaffed and it was definitely affecting some of those who were there working. I totally understand that though, but I'm sure that's a fluke thing so I don't totally hold it against them! read more

Excellent food and great service. Food was a little slow to arrive, but the taste totally made up for the wait. Great location, with good views, too! read more

I tried this place for the first time. I was hoping to get a waterside table, but the wait would've been about 30 mins. So I ended up just going with an indoor seat and was so happy to see it still provided a good view of the water. I ordered the brussel sprouts and the shrimp. Both were so good. I happened to get a vodka soda during their $5 happy hour. I also got the firecracker roll and the mango roll. Yum! The place was clean, had a good vibe. Our waitress was super attentive (thank you). As I was leaving, I noticed karaoke night was happening on the second floor. I'm so happy I tried this restaurant versus going to my usual go-to spot on Shem Creek. read more

The quality and taste of the food was sub par, the only redeeming factor is the location. We were a party of 6 and I don't think anything stood out as being of great quality or needing to dine in again. read more

This was our first time visiting Sunsets Waterfront Dining while in town for a meeting, and we're so glad we found it through a little research, it did not disappoint! We arrived just in time for happy hour. I ordered a vodka cranberry and the peel-and-eat shrimp, which were so fresh and flavorful I ended up ordering a second round. The staff was very accommodating, they easily honored my request for steamed broccoli and a house salad with dressing on the side to go with my shrimp. My husband had the blackened mahi tacos, and he loved them, fresh, perfectly seasoned, and delicious. The only small downside is parking, but now that we know what to expect, it's not a big deal. Every staff member we spoke with was friendly and helpful. The views along the water are beautiful, and we learned that part of Outer Banks was filmed right along this creek. There are also several other restaurants nearby--you can take a nice little walk across the bridge to explore them if you're looking to make a night of it. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area! read more

Sunsets! I've been wanting to try this place to go down the list of places to try down Shem Creek. My husband and I came on a Friday night around 6pm , got sat rather quickly (about 10min) outside. The view is great! You get to see the boats go by. Our server came over quickly and was super friendly. They have happy hour from 4-7 so I got a wine. My husband ordered the hush puppies and fish sandwich. I got the grilled salmon wrap. The hush puppies were very good. Light and crisp with a sweet corn flavor. My husband did not like the fish sandwich, it was big with not much flavor. I thought my salmon wrap was OK , mightve needed some more salt. Overall the view is nice! Service friendly! But i'm not sure we would come back for the food unless every other place was booked and we wanted something on the water. Hush puppies and wine were the highlight. read more

After a stroll on the boardwalk, my husband and I decided to stop by Sunset's for a quick drink as we had already eaten dinner. We ordered the Shem's Vice and the Sunset's Slush (two frozen cocktails). The Vice was delicious, sweet, and refreshing. The Slush was alright, definitely not better than the Vice. While we didn't have food while we were there, it did smell good! read more

Such a fun and chill experience, of course we went on a Sunday afternoon so it was busy everywhere but they got it us in relatively quick. We were able to be seated on their beautiful patio that overlooked the water and it was super serene and beautiful. The food and drinks were a 10 out of 10 for me. From the starter with the lobster crab dip too the sushi burritos this meal is absolutely fabulous. Cannot wait to come back and enjoy it again. read more

Family friendly, fresh food, and the best creekside views in town? Yes, please! Sunsets just dropped their new menu, and it's definitely family approved!

Went to Sunsets for an event hosted by my apartment complex and was genuinely impressed. The views alone are worth the trip--watching the sunset over the water with a drink in hand was the perfect way to wind down. The vibe was relaxed but lively, and the drinks were great (the spicy margarita was a crowd favorite). I wasn't expecting much from the food since it was part of an event, but the blackened fish tacos were actually really solid--fresh and flavorful. All in all, it felt like the kind of place I'll definitely be coming back to on my own. Great spot for casual hangs, good food, and unbeatable views. read more

While the food and ambiance were good, the service was horrible! We asked for outside seating and were told none was available, yet there were four empty tables that were available the entire time we were there...and they were NOT reserved because we called earlier for reservations and were told they do not take them. It took 45 minutes to get our waitress to take our order. Also the parking lot is a total clusterf*ck complete with potholes that have been there for at least a year. They should totally ticket pig-parkers who take up two parking spaces. We ordered some additional sushi to go but got home and found they had only put one roll in instead of two. Never ever going back! I'd give zero stars if I could. read more

Show stopper interior and outside decks. Glass windows and multi level views. Super nice server, host, and management. Fresh diverse offerings with some unique menu items. My favorite on the Creek! Yes it's a bit pricey, but you are here for the dolphins and breezes right? Priceless vibes. Wings were crispy and well seasoned. Lobster Roll was classic. Miami roll was large and loaded with seafood. Lobster tacos were good. Fun drink menu. Lots of non seafood for the land lovers too. read more

What a great place to see all of the boats coming and going. We went to the second floor, the bartender was extremely accommodating. We wanted to sit by the window and he went over and made sure that he opened all of the windows at the bar rail. And it wasn't an easy chore. LOL. The drink menu was comparable to most the other places. However they did have some specialties that the other places did not, and they were very tasty. The atmosphere was very light and bright and airy. A place I could definitely spend an afternoon. read more

Nice location right on the water of Shimm's Creek. Despite the rain, we managed to secure a window seat by the water, allowing us to take in the view. We ordered the Chicken nachos, a bowl of she crab soup, and an order of the peel-and-eat shrimp. I don't have anything bad to say. I think the location made me expect a little more, but what we had was ok. Being from Maryland, though, I question the validity of the "Old Bay" on the shrimp; that wasn't the Old Bay we know. read more

This is our go to Shem creek spot. The food is fantastic and the views on the deck outdoor are amazing! We started with the crab and lobster dip which was perfectly warm with huge chunks of lobster. Great portion to share! Then I had the sushi the firecracker roll and crispy tuna. Not my favorite crispy tuna rice but it's my favorite dish and I have it all over anywhere that has it. I found it bland. The firecracker roll was delicious. I also had the kiss my bubbles cocktail which was perfect! Light and refreshing! I did take a star off as service was not great. We had to ask for silver and napkins after the app was delivered and waters were never refilled. Maybe it was the nature of a just Saturday but the service was a bit lacking. read more

Cute place, good food, relax atmosphere- recommend for casual dinning - the grouped bites were delicious

I don't want to give so few stars to the restaurant, but the food was a huge disappointment for me. First the good - both the hostess and the server were wonderful. They were friendly and attentive! The restaurant appeared very clean, and while that's great, there was an overwhelming odour of Pine Sol or Fabuloso or some other cleaner. But hey, at least we knew it was clean! Also in the "good" category were the appetizers of fried pickles and calamari. Each were perfectly crisp, the breading was neither too heavy nor too light, wasn't greasy at all. The portion sizes were very generous as well. The beer is cold and the mocktails are good! The disappointment came with the main courses. The Peel n' Eat shrimp were served in a bowl covered in plastic wrap. Was it microwaved? Was it pre-cooked? Like, what was going on there? In addition to the hot and messy to handle plastic wrap, the shrimp were all spiced up to the point where you could only taste Old Bay. Which, I mean, that's fine, but nowhere on the menu did it say the shrimp was covered, smothered, rolled, and crusted in it. Also, the shrimp did not taste like local shrimp AT ALL. They lacked that firm texture and sweet taste that local shrimp have. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the oysters on the half-shell were so bland and tasted like they'd been washed a zillion times. The fried shrimp was mediocre. Aside from the view and great service, I didn't feel this place was going to go on my "visit again" list - although I did hear good things about the sushi. So...maybe it's worth another try? Lastly, the whole are has changed a great deal. Parking, while always crowded, used to be free. Now you're going to pay a premium price for it via your phone. Go slowly through the lot, too. Pot holes galore! read more

Exceptionally expensive for what you get. Start with having to pay for parking; really. Once inside, drinks were $32 for a double Woodford. Ouch... Service was good enough. Our waitress paid a little more attention to the outside tables but it was clear they were understaffed. Slow food service but the portions sizes were good. All in all; $605 (including mandatory 20% gratuity) for a party of 9 just seemed not worth it. Should've gone elsewhere. read more

Had a great meal here with our server Joey. House margs were legit, and though they were out of the grouper bites, the Smack Down Shrimp were a great sub. Probably 20 crispy shrimp with a nice seasoning and sauce. I got the roasted oysters with a side or corn and potatoes, and my son got the blackened chicken pasta. Oysters were OK but I wouldn't get them again. The pasta was delicious and was a huge serving. I forgot to take pics of the entrees but here are pics of our apps, the shrimp and a Caesar salad. We sat outside where it was a bit chilly but nice and relaxing to see the water. read more

We weren't given what we ordered, and the waitress was not very attentive and didn't seem to care when we told her. I'm giving 3 stars instead of 2, because this was my 2nd visit, and we had a better server the 1st visit. I ordered the Tuna Poke which the menu describes as coming with "citrus fruit, onion, crispy garlic chips, sprouts, crispy wonton chips". Mine was MISSING everything except the citrus fruit and wonton chips. I knew it looked (and tasted) bare when it arrived, so I asked the waitress about the sprouts which I specifically remembered the menu stating, only for her to say, "I don't know, I've never seen sprouts on it before." There was no effort to check and make it right. My friend ordered sweet tea but was given unsweet tea. She is easy going, so she didn't mention it, but she did think it was strange that she was never once given a refill even though her drink was clearly toward the bottom. When the waitress stopped by, my friend asked for a refill and the waitress said "we are out of sweet tea". My friend should have been told this in the first place. The waitress was not mean, she just didn't seem to care much and wasn't good at her job. However, the Brussels sprouts and blackened pasta with chicken were good! Although the view of Shem Creek was nice, the service would make me hesitate to come back. read more

Sunsets waterfront dining review | Mt Pleasant, South Carolina 97 Ronnie Boals Blvd, Mt Pleasant, SC 29464 Sunsets Waterfront Dining - 3.9/5 Stars Sunsets Waterfront Dining in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina is one of those places that looks like a vacation before you even sit down. Coastal vibes? Check. Waterfront views? Check. A menu that makes you say, "Yeah, I'll have that"? Also check. Let's start with the wins. The staff is friendly, which always sets the tone right. My grilled chicken Caesar salad had chicken that was seasoned so well it deserved its own fan club. And the mac and cheese? Absolute top-tier comfort food--creamy, rich, and dangerously addictive. The decor is modern, coastal, and Instagram-ready, and the atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming. Price-wise, it's pretty reasonable for the area at about $20 per person. Now... the not-so-sunny side of Sunsets. My salad was so overdressed I thought the lettuce was about to float away like it was auditioning for Titanic: The Salad Edition. While our waitress was friendly, she wasn't exactly attentive--and the place wasn't even busy. When you can hear seagulls arguing outside, that's a sign it's not packed. And let's talk about the parking. Paying $20+ for a meal and then getting hit with a $12 parking fee feels a little... aggressive. Like, am I dining or financing infrastructure? Final Take: Sunsets Waterfront Dining nails the vibe, comfort food, and scenic experience. It's a great spot for a casual waterfront meal with friends or a laid-back date night. But between the overenthusiastic salad dressing, service that could use a little more sparkle, and that parking fee, it doesn't quite hit perfection. Would I go back? Yes. Would I mentally prepare myself for the parking charge? Also yes. read more

Sunsets has a great beachy casual vibe. Great views of Shem Creek. Service was excellent, very friendly and professional. I got the lobster cob salad and I was surprised how much lobster they gave me. It was very very good. My friend got the fried oyster basket. The fries were really tasty. However, they overcooked her oysters. She was a little disappointed in that. They have lots of specialty cocktails. But they're pretty light-handed on the alcohol they put in their drinks. My friend ordered the spicy Margarita and she sent it back. It didn't even taste like there was any tequila in it. It was very bland tasting too considering it was supposed to be spicy and infused with jalapenos. She ended up ordering the Golden Hour Lemonade cocktail and it was much better. I got the marsh Mama peach tea cocktail and it was really good. Very light and refreshing. They had a great bar area and an upstairs dining area as well. I would definitely come back for dinner and hopefully the food and the service is just as good. Please note that you have to pay for parking utilizing your phone via text. It was only $5 for 4 hours or $15 for the whole day. read more
