Every so often you have to take a scroll back and see if anything new has been added to the menus. Not sure if this is new, but it's definitely something I haven't tried. We tried the Bang Bang Shrimp along with the Fried Shrimp Po' Boy platter and Hush Puppies. The Bang Bang Shrimp sauce was different from what we had tasted before, but it was good. I was looking for a sweeter taste but again, it still had a great taste. It came on a bed of lettuce. The Shrimp Po' Boy platter came with French Fries. The fries were crunchy and delicious! Matter of fact, they were perfect:) The Shrimp Po' Boy was good and simple. It didn't have a lot of stuff on it, which was cool for me. Again, the sauce was okay but the shrimp and fixings were delightful. These Hush puppies are always good, so no complaints there. Friendly staff and clean restaurant. This is a place I recommend. I will be back soon:)

I ordered the shrimp; they were seasoned and breaded well, cooked fresh, and a great size. I really enjoyed them. The fries were fresh and tasty. They are the crispy seasoned fries. The hush puppies are so delicious and greasy but are very delicious. The lemonade is very delightful and refreshing. It's clean in the restaurant, and everyone is so nice. Parking was available, with a decent size lot.

While visiting Columbia, SC for work, I went out searching for take out food to bring back to my hotel and this place hit the spot. We ordered a trout platter and a flounder platter, all cooked to perfection. The price is right and the owner is a pleasure to do business with....looks like he is running it alone so please remember to tip! The restaurant was extremely clean and there is more parking in the back! CHECK THEM OUT!!!!!

It's only him, and he is taking orders, cooking, packing, and so on. The place is clean and has a few seats for waiting. There's also fish on ice for purchase. I ordered the flounder and shrimp, which were, of course, fried to order. I enjoyed the flavor of the flounder and especially the shrimp. The breading was good, and everything was fried well. The fries were cooked hot, and they are crinkle cut. I enjoyed the food, including the hush puppies, coleslaw, and potato salad. The lunch special comes with tea.  This side of town could use a solid fish spot like this one. The location is kind of tricky. Park on the side of the building. There is a sign, but you do have to be on the lookout for it. It's across from the pet hospital over there.

10/10--no exaggeration. Mr. Seafood is so good!…read more I ordered the fish and shrimp basket, and everything was fresh, crispy, and piping hot--fried to absolute perfection. The seafood combo was just as delicious, with great seasoning and fresh ingredients. While they do have seating available, the space feels more like a takeout spot than a dine-in restaurant, which worked perfectly for grabbing a meal on the go. The service was top-notch. The woman who took my order was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience even better. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area. Highly recommend if you're craving great seafood!

I will definitely be back and when I do I hope to get Jim again.

Okay, so I went to this location for my birthday in November because I was craving a boil bag and…read morehadn't had one in about a year. I feel like good seafood spots in Columbia are limited, and I didn't want to try somewhere new and end up disappointed, so I stuck with what I knew. The food here is usually pretty consistent. I also hadn't been to this specific location in at least a year, When we entered the foyer, we were immediately met with a strange smell--honestly, it smelled like sewage. At first, I thought it was just me, but other customers who came in behind us and were waiting on their orders noticed it too, and we actually talked about it. Once you walked into the dining area, the smell was gone, which was a bit of a relief. Still, the smell of sewage is never appealing, especially in a place that serves food. Anyway, we got our boil bags and left. Overall, the food was just okay. My main complaint was the size of the crab legs--they were very small and barely had any meat. I wanted two clusters and a half-pound of shrimp, but unfortunately that particular option is no longer on the menu, which made it more expensive to customize than ordering one of the preset boil bags. Let's just say it wasn't worth it. My family got the sausage and shrimp bags those had a better quantity of food. The shrimp were good, but I was very disappointed with the crab legs. I probably won't be back, mainly because what I paid didn't really measure up to the food I received. That said, the staff was nice.

Since we were over in the area, we decided to do a pickup on our way home. We ordered from BoneFish…read moreGrill. I ordered the Creamy Tomato Salmon Linguine. It also came with bread. This was a really great combination! The linguine was prepared perfectly. It was filled with mushrooms, spinach, diced tomatoes, parmesan and basil. On top was the salmon. The salmon was tender with a buttery texture. It was so yummy!!! My husband ordered the Pineapple Glazed Shrimp. He had been wanting this for a while but that all changed when he opened it when we got home. There was no creamy risotto! He was disappointed that they had forgotten the risotto. Nevertheless, he did enjoy the shrimp. Maybe next time we are on that side of town he will get his chance:) Service was good. It took awhile for our food to come out, but that was fine. The restaurant wasn't full at all, it was nice and quiet. The ambiance was nice, and the restaurant was clean.

Went for brunch and then dinner. Everything has been delicious. Cod imperial was perfectly cooked. The shrimp and scallops with mango salsa was delicious and the lobster ravioli oh my goodness.

Strange place. Walk in and there are wanted posters of…read morepeople who pulled the dine and dash at the hostess stand. Waited 15 minutes for a server to drop off a menus and say hi. She walked by my table twice in that time. Ordered the house salad, which was the only semi decent thing. Their house salad comes in a huge bowl, and contains 90% of californias daily export nationally. (Aka it was too large) Ordered the cra(b)P legs in a bag. I really don't like the seafood in a bag concept to begin with. It cheapens what should be a good experience to serve . Microplastics are the best thing since MSG according to most crab in a bag restaurants, they really add a certain umami to the dish what with the polyethylene and oil and natural gas derivatives... Sorry, I got off track... The bag came with two clusters, two potatoes that honestly seemed like they had been mashed and then reconstituted in a skin, and a half ear of soggy corn. The crab, if I can call it such, was pretty lackluster. Normally when one breaks a crab leg, there is a subtle dance of can I get the meat out in one piece? In this instance, every leg, and pincher I broke open was mush that would not pull out of the shell. I tried their gloves, only to realize what little meat I could force out with my fingers ended up on the table or the floor. After taking the gloves off, I found it slightly less difficult to ream my finger in a split shell and get the mush out. I love crab legs when prepared well. This place did not prepare crab legs well. Overcooked, or borderline past expiration.. 0/10 Will not return..

The food is off the chain, people. They make everything in house in the back, according to friends I've made that have worked here, and you can TELL. The salmon ponchartrain? Jesus Christ and all that is holy. I thought I met my maker. Even the green beans had me double-taking. I wasn't going to get dessert bc I thought I was going to explode but THE KEY LIME PIE THE SIZE OF A SMALL COUNTRY?! My god! The ambiance of this place is just ROMANTIC. People need to experience it. Shoutout to the fabulous servers, talented bartenders, and the wonderful manager that kept stopping by to make sure that not only was I having a good time, but everything was exceeding expectations.

Victoria had several recommendations and when she suggested shrimp Alfredo I was sold. She was already a fan of the house hamburgers with fries and my beautiful wife opted for that at.

We all enjoyed our meal and when done we all shared a brownie (came warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup and whipped cream.
