The service made the experience even better. Chip, the bartender, was hilarious and incredibly friendly, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. Our servers were all so welcoming, and we also had the chance to chat with Jamie, who was genuinely one of the kindest people we've met. The whole place has those laid-back Salt Shack vibes in the best possible way, casual, welcoming, and full of great people. Between the fabulous food, warm hospitality, and great conversation, this is the kind of local spot you'll want to come back to again and again. Highly recommend!

I was searching for a restaurant to celebrate my lovely wife's birthday. We happened to walk by the…read moreBlue Bayou Bistro twice, and decided to try it. The place has a "big Easy" vibe to it, and the friendliest staff anywhere east of Lake Elsinore, CA. We were seated promptly and ordered drinks while we perused the menu. My wife ordered the fried shrimp platter, and I ordered the Gumbo dish and green salad. It has been quite a while since I had gumbo (I used to work on the Mississippi Gulf Coast years ago), and their gumbo did not disappoint. The salad hit the spot, and we shared the delicious shrimps. The only thing that we flagged was the salty potato salad. Otherwise, it was an excellent experience for us to dine there. Another thing that I desire to mention is how delightful the downtown area of the city of Georgetown is maintained. Great walking environment and friendly people who speak to strangers. We will consider moving around here since we recently retired.

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?

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!

I also split the arugula salad with my wife, and she had the risotto. Root is definitely worth checking out, it's a little pricier than some other spots but the food and service were worth it, give them a try!

We started with grouper fries and they were really good. They also brought bread and cornbread-the cornbread practically melts in your mouth! I ordered hush puppies -they were really good, but we didn't need them in addition to everything else! For our main course, we had the shrimp and scallops sauté and the yellowfin tuna. For sides, we had collard greens, sweet potato fries, sautéed vegetables and mashed potatoes. I would not recommend the sweet potato fries-they were from a frozen bag. The other sides were all perfectly cooked. The tuna was some of the best I have had-kudos to the chef! For drinks, we had sangria and it was good but too sweet. I ordered a glass of Pinot Grigio to calm the sweetness. We loved sitting with a view of the water and the boats. They have a really nice set up and I highly recommend!

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.

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.
