A good meal all around, just nothing super memorable about the food. Average at best. It was great to be able to sit outside with the vibe of live music and the view of the marina. The waiter was awesome. Too bad the food was just mediocre. read more

We went back to Water's Edge and had a wonderful experience again. The food, seafood platter with light battered and fried oysters, shrimp, and flounder. My wife loved the whole fried flounder. The only miss was the paella , my guest did not enjoy it, the rice was undercooked and the seafood was bland. Amanda gave us attentive without being obtrusive service. We had a great window table so we could see all the action on Shem Creek. The young folks on the rooftop balcony at Reds, boats and dolphins swimming by. We had a 6:30 PM reservation and could not have enjoyed it more. We will be back. read more

Had dinner here and our waiter was less than enthused to be there. Never told us about the specials and kept our party on a 1 drink max. Food was okay, service not so much. Hopefully he is the exception and not the rule. read more

Clearly the fault of the City of Mt. Pleasant in not any of the restaurants, but the parking situation is a complete mess with automatic 24/7 pay parking. I am fairly technical, yet I could not get the cellphone payment process to work and had to call. Although you get refunded after your dinner if you go back to the front with the receipt, you still have to go through the process of paying for parking then getting refunded. And Get this, you have 2 choices of time, 4 hours for $25.00, or an all day pass. I feel sorry for the restaurants because the city is getting greedy. The front staff of the place I not much better. The young lady was super nice but obviously overwhelmed with taking care of seating, new arriving customers yapping in her ear, and now a new burden of giving folks a rebate at the end of the meal. We had a 25-minute wait for an outside table which would have been fine, but some rude person was smoking a nasty cigar in the outside seating waiting area. The smoke was totally overwhelming, and we had to go to an area and stand. I cannot believe this restaurant would allow such a thing as you could even smell the Cigar in the outside dining area. Rude, rude, rude, The waitress was kind and provided the perfect amount of attention. Depending on the dish and who you asked the food review was mixed. I thought my She Crab Soup was pretty good. I also enjoyed the Seafood Paella, with Lobster, shrimp, Scallops, Salmon, Chorizo, Over Red Rice, in a spicy pepper sauce. The wife and the daughter ordered the same items each having different experience. They started with bad news as they were out of Crispy Fried Flounder each wanted. The both ordered the Jumbo Sea Scallops Appetizer with 4 nice sized, and nicely cooked large Scallops. While The Daughter liked the dish, the wife, thought the Scallops themselves wewe bland and overwhelmed by the Chorizo Corn Relish, and a Bacon Ancho Chili Cream, Instead of the Founder they both ordered the Atlantic Black Grouper. Again, a split opinion, where the daughter thought it was good and the wife thought it was totally overcooked. By the way, I agreed with the wife regarding her food. As a side dish we split 2 orders of Sweet Potato Fries. This dish was drowned in sugar and could only possibly be good as a dessert. For what we ordered, a $180 bill with no Alcohol is way to high read more

The environment is nice. The restaurant sits right next to the water. We sat outside. Menu is a little up there but it was a little upscale compared to the other restaurants by the water. Food was pretty good. Service was good. Server was attentive and nice. Nothing bad to say about this place. They do validate parking. read more

Great views, food was good, and the servers were friendly. Had the tips, shrimp cocktail and red rice. All were delicious!

First time guests. The view was outstanding, the service superb! She was there when needed, congenital, and efficient. We had the Chef's Fish Selection. That night it was grouper with mango salsa on top of creamy mashed potatoes with baby carrots (orange and white) and asparagus. Out of this world delicious. My friend had the same and we agreed it was the best dinner we had in Savannah. If I make it back to Savannah, I am going there! read more

Great service with amazing menu! Tables inside or outside by the water. Grilled salmon with bbq was delicious! End the meal with amazing chocolate cake or raspberry cheesecake. read more

Waters edge was a great spot for happy hour. I can't speak for the food, but the drinks were super cheap during HH and the bartender was moving! This was the kind of spot you sit back and relax. You can chat with friends and watch the fishermen come in to clean their fish and feed the pelicans and dolphins. Cool experience and a laid back environment. read more

Great views, atmosphere, and seafood. Delicious shrimp and grits. My husband had the shrimp scampi and he loved it.

We chose this restaurant because of the view. Although they take reservations, you can't reserve seating on the outdoor patio. Luckily when we got there around 11:30 on a Sunday morning it wasn't too busy and we were able to request a seat outside. It was very nice out eating by the water as the boats go by. We ordered the dozen oysters on a half shell, fried calamari, shrimp and grits, fries, lobster roll, and mango crab stack to share between four people. It was pretty filling. My only qualms were that the shrimp and grits were a bit salty, and that the mango crab stack portion came smaller than we expected. Besides that though, everything else was great. Food was good, service was good, views were great. read more

Over cooked greasy fish and cool to taste fries. I sent them back. Shrimp and Grits was reported as good. 3% service charge for using credit cards.Basically it's for tourists. Skip its not worth the view of the creek. read more

This is one of the best views on Shem Creek! They have a lot of seating and a 2 great decks plus a lot of live music! Inside is very nice with white table cloth! Service is also so kind and helpful I haven't had a great experience with the food so I would go for the view and drinks read more

We had the best experience thanks to Kaylee. The night we were there for dinner, there was a wait for a table due to staffing. We went to the bar while we waited... there was no one at the bar to serve us... My husband became a bit aggravated by the wait and lack of service at the bar... soon Kaylee came by... saw us and served us our drinks... all with a great pleasant personality. She then ensured we were seated for dinner and chose to be our waitress. She provided great service that was personal and genuine. The food and drinks were good... but the genuine care and concern from Kaylee was amazing... and rare these days... she made all the difference in our dining experience read more

I'm the Corporate Training Coordinator for a chain of restaurants in TN, and I just had to come here and leave a review for Mr. Chase. My wife and I came in for supper around 4 pm on a Saturday and were seated immediately at a table by the water! Chase gave us excellent service and his demeanor was spot-on for the atmosphere that the restaurant exudes. The mid-point where upscale fine-dining and casual meet, was a great experience. Our wedge platter and whole flounder were perfectly cooked. I must add that the sauces tasted house-made and were incredible. From the mango sauce to the mere tarter, we were amazed by the kitchen and especially their perfect presentation. From the host stand to the server to the way out the door, everything was excellent. Thank you, Water's Edge, for such a memorable experience and for such legendary service! read more

The view was great, parking not so much about a block away and the fee for two hours was 10 bucks but that is not their fault. Parking lot is small for all the businesses around. Food was ok for bar food but it was for me the scallops were overcooked, maybe just sat too long after between the time thawing and frying, they were a bit dry, flounder was good, oysters were dry as well same as the shrimp. Grits must've been cooked earlier because were one lump and dry. Not impressed with the food at all, 34 must be a good price to cover costs and make a profit but try to make it so good to make me come back Might go back but will go early or late and not at 3:30 and maybe just do drinks. read more

Overall: Come for the views and the vibe, but don't expect much from the food. The good: You pay for the atmosphere, and being next to (or near) the water can be worth the wait. The majority of their seating is covered by a roof, so if it rains or is too hot, they have that going for them. The beers are cheap and they have a decent-sized menu. Bartenders were attentive and helpful. The not-so-good: We wanted some great, local seafood, but unfortunately the best part of our meal was the couscous. The crab cakes were small, soggy, and certainly didn't use fresh crab. The fried calamari was cold and the pieces were small and forgettable (only tiny rings, no tasty little squid guys). Food/drink: 5/10 Atmosphere: 8/10 Service: 8/10 read more

My bfs mom wanted to take us to reds across the way bc she thinks we're still young and hip. But personally we like a quieter scene where you can hear one another. So when the wait for reds was 1.5 hours we started looking around and came across waters edge. Ambiance was classy, quieter and had great sealed section where you can get a great view without dealing with the weather. My bf and I don't like leftovers so we split, once again, so we can try a few items without getting too full. This included the she crab soup, calamari, and the paella. The she crab soup was good, you can def taste the sherry. Nice balance of acid and fat. The calamari had a few peppers in it which was a nice touch. The breading however did fall apart but the quality of the squid was good. The paella was tasty but definitely didn't taste like paella. It was more tomatoey and savory. The only thing I didnt like was the chorizo in it. Personally enjoyed my experience, not sure why it's only 3 stars. read more

I have never had a whole fried dish before but decided to venture out my norm. So glad I did, this fried whole flounder dish did not disappoint. So flavorful, so most, just ridiculously good. The service was excellent too, as well as the decor. My friend had a broiled seafood platter and loved it. Beautiful views of the water as well. read more

The hostess was so kind to wipe off the outdoor table for me, because it had just rained and I wanted to sit outside. The shrimp and grits were beautifully presented and very good. My waiter Josh was great too! I love the view of the water, just a perfect lunch! read more

Shrimp Scampi was a huge disappointment! The shrimp were chewy - very bad! Maybe frozen? Overcooked? I'm not sure.

Commiserate with other reviewers, the service was lackluster ( and the restaurant was not busy at all when we were there). I had the pan seared chicken, the chicken was tender and juicy and was a large portion size. The cream sauce was ok, not amazing, but ok- slightly bland. The mashed potatoes that it comes with had wayyyy too much blue cheese packed in there. The fried flounder (part of the seafood platter) comes in a nice portion size, the fish is a little on the dry side. We also had the boom boom shrimp appetizer, it was decent, though the shrimp could have been crispier. I also prefer the tails to be off the shrimp. Overall, it was ok, nothing to be "wowed" about. The best part about this place is the view overlooking the water- I did see dolphins in the canal while waiting for the food read more

The restaurant has a comfortable feel and it faces the water. The water is a beautiful view. The waitress was great and knowledgeable of the menu.

Great example of location, location, location. Right on Shem Creek with both outdoor and indoor dining. Probably not fair, anyway, but the food didn't match the view. We had two "chef's specialties" after a dozen raw oysters. They were out of anything nearby, so they substituted Canadian on the half shell. Small to medium, at best. The Atlantic Black Grouper itself was good, but at $50 market price, the accompaniment should have more than two small asparagus slightly overcooked. Apparently the reason they were hidden under the grouper. Pasta "Gumbolaya" was really quite good (Sautéed chicken, shrimp, andouille sausage, tomatoes, okra, Cajun cream tomato sauce- served over linguine, $32). Oh, and the bread. My colleague described it as "unexceptional". With so many choices in food heaven, I wouldn't make a special trip here. read more

The food was very good and the service was excellent. Vec was great and very outgoing and friendly.

I had lunch here with my son and his family while visiting Charleston. We had a variety of dishes and drinks, including shrimp and grits (my go to dish when visiting Charleston) and some excellent lunch salads. The service was excellent, the food terrific, and the ambience and water views relaxing. read more

I ordered three Thanksgiving platters from the Water's Edge and the food and delivery service was impeccable. The platter included generous portions of turkey and ham. The sides included Mac and cheese, green bean casserole, delicious cornbread stuffing, sweet potatoes. I can't wait to eat there in person! I have heard nothing but great things about this restaurant. read more

The place is just okay. Maybe it was just the night but service was on the lower end for a place with average entree at 28-30, average check for couple 120 with tip. Staff never asked us if we wanted to buy a second cocktail, even put them on the sides so the server would see and maybe ask or even take them-nothing. The fried food was good-and the tile fish was delicious. The restaurant does not know how to cook collards DO NOT order them. They have enough salt to put you in diabetic shock. It masks the pork flavor needed to make it stand out. The pesto risotto was undercooked, crunchy and also laden with salt. Upon looking around at the other tables it seemed like it was in unison as they were universally left alone. They key lime pie was decent-filling good, crust was sub par-I wouldn't order it from their vendor again (plus the menu description of the pie had not been updated) . Would I venture back here? Idk maybe try it again early in the day with less distractions? read more

Food was not tasty at all. Super expensive. Calamari, flounder everything was bad. Will never go back to eat there.

Visiting Water's Edge for the 1st time today and with all the wonderful restaurants in the Charleston/Mt Pleasant area most likely won't return. Went for lunch , staff was pleasant and our server was attentive. My complaint is with the Kitchen staff and maybe the Manager: ordered the Wedge Salad- really good and enough for two. Next was the Crab Soup- also delicious (hot and well flavored). Next came the Whole Fried Flounder with a Mango sauce/ chutney (which my husband asked for on the side). Flounder came to the table covered in the sauce, my husband reiterated "sauce on the side" which the kitchen staff interpreted as "scrap the sauce off and bring back the same fish still wet with the sauce". Very disappointing- fish was taken off of bill but the clear lack of customer service/quality of service was quit evident and if the Manager was informed- he never approached our table. So we went across the bay and had a wonderful meal at one of the many Restaurants located close with the same view. 3 stars were for the Front staff, the food we did receive and our waitress/server - who didn't deliver any of the food but was very apologetic..... read more

We love going to Waters edge for happy hour during the week. They have great deals on well drinks and beer. I don't ever really go to eat there but on late nights I'll grab their fries and they're crispy and do the trick. we really just love the service.. shout out to Justin the bartender and the atmosphere. It's nice to sit outside at the bar or the tables around the bar, they have heaters too, which is nice and Live music sometimes. If you park in the lot near Waters edge and when you get your receipt from eating or grabbing drinks so you can get it for free if you go to the host stand. I've tried their crab dip, it was okay, I'm not big fan of crab though so I don't think I'm the best judge. We usually get Edmonds oast beer or some fun drinks. They have some yummy summer drinks also when it's warmer. It's perfect to watch a sunset and then go walk around afterwards. They always have the same crowd there at happy hour which is kind of fun, definitely good people watching. We never sit inside other than one time at the bar and it was dead. read more

I have always liked Waters edge for happy hour and drinks, but I am going to have to re evaluate happy hour options. When I saw the text message, pay to park, I kids it was not going to be a happy ending. I talked to the parking attendant to make sure it was okay if I stayed longer than 2 hours. She said it would be fine and they would validate me. I even checked with another employee. When we left after having drinks and food, there was no one to validate parking. We had to go to the host stand and they were then not able to validate as we had stayed longer than 2 hours. I don't blame the host but blame management and the parking company. I understand why they have to do what they are doing but it's a huge headache right now. I would recommend staying away for a little while until they figure this out. read more

Lipstick on a pig food is absolutely horrible. Strait out of the freezer. They add candles thinking it's fancy this place is horrible. Waffle House is better! That's saying a lot! read more

Food was terrible tasted like frozen meals and way too much seasoning on it. Definitely don't recommend eating here for a good meal

Water's Edge is nice place to enjoy lunch, right on the water of Shem Creek. We sat on the outside deck under an umbrella as the warm sun was overhead. After a slow start, we ordered a beer, an appetizer and then sandwiches. The beer menu was good with several local choices. The shrimp salad was a good with a mix of shrimp, celery, onion, parmesan dressing served with pita chips. But my shrimp poboy was disappointing in both flavor and bread size. The roll was just too thick. Lunch was an average experience, the waterside experience was the best part. But as locals we know there are many more options to enjoy more. So another one & done for us. read more

Water's Edge is a classic spot for Shem Creek drinking and dining. Having grown up only two miles away from this place, I can truthfully say that I have been here a countless number of times. I have come here mostly for happy hour. I am willing to bet this is one of the best happy hour spots in the area, given the cheap drink prices, half-off appetizer list, and outside seating area on the water. My friends and I have had so much fun here over the years! Notably, the crowd is usually slightly older (ranging from 30's to 70's) and more subdued, but sometimes this is exactly what I'm in the mood for, especially after a long day of work. Ha. Waters' Edge also has brunch buffets on Sunday that are apparently worth every penny. It is something to definitely look into and to probably try. I have only eaten brunch here once, and my party and I dined outside and did not partake in the buffet (but the food that we did have was divine). read more
