    Half pound of peel & eat shrimp
    Jessica B.

    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 :)

    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!

    Still the great same service and I got the smack down shrimp tacos this time. They do not skimp on the shrimp in here whatsoever and they were delicious. I've always had a great experience at Sunsets. I came here with a group of 7 people at 5pm on a Friday for a casual dinner before our boat ride and the service was quick and setting is very relaxed.

    Way more chips than dip but good.

    DIS B!@H LIT!!!!!! LIT LIT!!!!!! PEOPLE ERRRRRWHERE!!!! Everytime I've went to vickery's ive always noticed the big party across the water, but i was apart of it tonight. And on this side of the river, I noticed it's lit on Vickery's side. Also, because water's edge is crowded and they are partying as well and Shem creek Inn has a big crowd and partying so this whole area. Is mardi gras right now. IM KNOCKING MY YELP LIST DOWN BABY!!!!! Cuz this place was on my list A minute. Great customer service. BEST SHRIMP TACOS I EVER HAD!!!! We sat in a big, beautiful leather booth.Facing the water, it was so sexy.It was like a booth , you sit in on a scene from pulp fiction. (Somebody know what I'm talking bout) We had the salmon and pasta with Sidewinder, French fries, shrimp tacos.With the lobster and crab dip. DAMNIT IM GOING 5 STARS!!!! (WHAAAAT??? YOU HARDLY EVER GO 5 STARS) YUP!!! You low key can't find the energy coupled with good fresh seafood like the places on shem creek downtown. ImPoSsIbLe!!! Uber was killing it here. They paid mortgage tonight baby. Beautiful women with no man everywhere fellas. IJS!! IIIIIIIIIIILE B BAK.....n my terminator voice. LOVE YOU!!!!!

    What a great place to have good food, a good view and drinks. The sushi was great and filling, one roll for me was enough, the pasta was AMAZING! The only thing with the sushi burrito was that the raw fish had a lot of fat and my brother said it was uneatable. This place is never that busy which is amazing considering all the other restaurants in shem are packed.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

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

    Such a lovely dinner at Sunsets. Our server was fabulous, very attentive and made the evening super enjoyable. We came for a late dinner so unfortunately some of our picks for dinner options were sold out but she was still able to accommodate us perfectly. The hush puppies were a delicious appetizer and everyone enjoyed their entrees as well. We decided to eat inside since we were dining with a 9 month old and it was a bit chilly outdoors but getting to basically sit on the water and enjoy the views while being inside was lovely. If we're ever back in SC we will definitely be coming back!

    Makaela P.

    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!

Starting dinner off right with some deliciously fresh raw oysters complete with a traditional "onion" mignonette, and then Chef Eric brought out a little special treat....the base was fresh lump crab meat topped with some chunked watermelon and the most light, fresh, delicious dressing & crunch. WOW. I could eat that all summer. Moving onto the main courses, a perfectly cooked NY strip & root veggies with a love boat of fresh sauces. Chimi, steak butter, and a horseradish crema. As if the steak needed any sauce, but with that trifecta?? I couldn't help myself. Incredible. The other entree, a risotto and shrimp. Incredibly flavorful, complete with crisp English peas. As I write this, I wish I had another plateful. The bartender is the Chef's little lady, & she was a GEM! I cannot remember her name, but she goes to estate sales, and thrifts the beautiful dishes and glassware that they use in the restaurant, which I thought was so neat! These two truly have put their heart and soul into this little place and you can tell. The menu is of a smaller variety, but variety for sure. Chef Eric changes the menu up daily/weekly, so you never know what you may get, and I think that is honestly one of the best parts about this place. You can tell they care, from the food to the atmosphere they have created. This one deserves all the 5 stars.

Our table also got the meat board, pimento with bacon jam, and the crab and artichoke dip. I loved the mac & cheese and I'm convinced that if you put that sauce on anything it would be 10 out of 10. I also loved the crab and artichoke dip which is served with warm pita, however, there were mixed reviews at our table. The dip was very crab forward, and the artichoke was barely perceptible. The only criticism of the charcuterie was that there was small portions. The pimento and bacon jam is served with Ritz crackers and one's pleasant, but I felt a little underwhelmed. However, for one of the people at our table, it was the favorite. We sat outside in the covered patio area, and I was surprised by how loud the outdoor seating was. If you're sensitive to overstimulation, sitting inside in the air conditioning would be a much more quiet experience. The service was a little slow, but overall the experience was wonderful and the restaurant is located right next to the water. We were there on a weekend and it was busy even though it was in between lunch and dinner. Parking was hard to come by, but that's to be expected for this location.

Post House is actually an inn where you can stay overnight and a restaurant. This review is only gonna be based on the restaurant portion. Had dinner reservations that were easy to make online. Arrived a little bit early, but we were able to be seated after only a few minutes waiting. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. Going into how delicious the food was. For an appetizer, they brought out some warm cornbread with sweet whipped butter. The cornbread was light and fluffy with a hint of honey. Sweet and delicious. For my main course, I ordered the sirloin steak that came with a side of potatoes and arugula. The steak was cooked medium as I requested. It had a great flavor and was absolutely delicious. I chose not to finish it off so I could save a room for dessert. For dessert, I ordered the peach cobbler. It was a ample portion of warm peach cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Again they knocked it out of the park. Everything about this experience was five star from the service to the food. Everyone was so nice. Since it was our first visit here, they even provided a small gift of a mug with some socks inside of it. If you are in Charleston and have the opportunity, definitely come here for dinner.

    I've been dining at Red Drum for over twenty years, long enough to remember when a last-minute…read morereservation on a Tuesday felt like winning the lottery. So when my family and I received some truly remarkable medical news this week, the kind of victory you save for a proper toast, Red Drum was the obvious choice. What better place to celebrate a long-awaited milestone than with familiar faces and a pork chop I've trusted since the era of dial-up internet? Well. About that pork chop. Two of us ordered the longtime menu staple. We expected the same giant, butcher's-best chop that has anchored the plate forever. What arrived instead felt like someone had rewritten a classic without reading the original. Gone were the lovely fresh tomatoes and potatoes, the bright bites that used to sing alongside the chop, along with the subtle demi that once tied everything together. In their place, Brussels sprouts were doing a full backstroke in an acid bath. And not, unfortunately, the fun kind of acid bath. I would have been fine with the sprouts but this sauce... The sauce was so sharp and dominant that it steamrolled the pork entirely. Since it made up the entire base of the dish, there was no escaping it. I later learned there were supposed to be potatoes mixed in, hash-style, but my portion must have pulled a vanishing act because not a single potato was found. My dining partner fared no better. Between the two of us, the equivalent of an entire pork chop went back to the kitchen. When we told our server the sauce tasted "off," she reacted with all the urgency of someone being told their shoelace is untied. There was no concern, no apology, and no curiosity. Our third diner ordered the salmon. He said it was very good, and the corn pudding was too, but even he missed the potato that used to round out the plate. For forty-one dollars, he said the meal felt "undercut," and I agree. When the most satisfied person at the table feels shorted, that is not great. Dessert was a bright spot. The hot butter rum toffee and the doughnuts hit the mark. By then, however, I was too busy fuming, more effectively than the pork, over the indifference that hung over the whole evening. No manager ever came by. I am not convinced our feedback reached anyone. By the time the bill arrived, it felt like our waitress wanted us to pay, smile, and scurry along. This was when the night took another strange turn. As she handed me the check, I asked about a familiar husband and wife duo who had served at Red Drum for years. They were beloved, memorable, and unmistakably professional. Anyone who has eaten at Red Drum even semi-regularly knows exactly who I mean. They were fixtures. I asked if they were working that night so I could say hello. The waitress casually told me they had been gone for some time and had left under "not good circumstances." That was when my eyebrows reached escape velocity. If you know Red Drum, the Red Drum of years past, you know that couple. You know the level of professionalism, the consistency, and the connection they brought to the room. You know they were not the "leave under not good circumstances" type. The comment felt off, unnecessary, and frankly a little concerning. It made me wonder what has really changed behind the scenes and what regulars will think when they read this. By then, curiosity pushed me to look around the room. It was nearly empty. It was 6:45 p.m. on a Tuesday. Yes, a weeknight, but dinner hour all the same. In years past, this place buzzed no matter the night. You could not get a last-minute reservation without divine intervention. Suddenly the ease of getting one this time made a whole lot more sense. I genuinely wanted this to be a triumphant return, a full-circle moment after a long illness and a day of wonderful news. Instead, it was a sobering reminder that somewhere along the way, Red Drum lost the plot, and maybe a lot more than its potatoes. After reflecting on our experience, I called the restaurant to share my concerns, but three business days have passed without a return call.
