We really loved Reds. Great seafood & munchies at really reasonable prices. The view was awesome (we ate outside) and was a welcome change from the real touristy places around the area.

Jim Heltzell

Great place to hang out. Saw this place on Drinking Made Easy and had a pitcher of Firefly Lemonade . Get here early cuz people camp out at the tables they get. Food is good. Recommend Buffalo Shrimp .

David Case

I can speak on crab legs , steamed shrimp (old bay ), BBQ Scallops wrapped in bacon , Pimento cheese , and then you wash wash it all down with your favorite cocktail . Just like your beer in a bottle...

Ryan Novak

For appetizers the barbecued bacon wrapped scallops were so delicious. The fried oyster Po’boy was really good! The hoagie roll itself was a little dry but the fried oysters are amazing!

Adam Tornes

Cool more casual bar right on Shem Creek . Grab a beer and enjoy the weather! Check out the upstairs bar - a hidden gem for sure!

Lindsay Sprick

Definitely needs new craft beer choices ! Get some Westbrook cans at least! Pimento cheese was very tasty, I loved my Low Country Boil (Sierra Nevada Pale to drink) & Mom loved her grouper sandwich !

Denise G

Oh my YUM! ???? The grilled fish boil was ah-maz-ing! Great service too and doggo-friendly!!

Whit Walker

Best bar on Shem's Creek. One of my favorite places to grab a drink and some laughs with friends.

Kevin Green

If you get the grouper sandwich , go fried and order a side of coleslaw . Add the coleslaw to the sandwich and top it off with the hot sauce , and it will change your life!

Darlene Kelley

The scenery is beautiful. The restaurant is on the water on Shem Creek where you have a background of amazing boats, people paddle surfing, and an occasional porpoise swimming up out of the water and

Sitting right on the docks of Mt. Pleasant, this seafood shack serves impossibly fresh food with a stellar view . The selection is simple, but always served cold. - © 2013 BuzzFeed, Inc

At this point probably tried everything! The whole menu is great! If you have a driver stay and drink, perfect spot to hang out!

Renaissance Hotels

Stroll or bike over “Cousin Arthur” bridge . Then hang out on the porch here to watch dolphins frolic in Shem’s Creek . For more local tips, follow us on 4sq or check out www.renhotels.com.

Ryan LeFevre

A must-visit if the weather is good. Nothing fancy , but a great way to soak in some Charleston scenery outside.

BJ Bethune

Wrapped, shrimp , Barbeque , skewers !! Amazing. Best place to eat on Shem Creek .

Kimber Combs

Dock seating provides great view of waterway. Lots of dogs, but didn't seem to be any issues. If you want shrimp straight from the steamer, be sure to tell wait staff or else you get shrimp cocktail .

Jess Keathley

Lowcountry boil with an added crab cluster was pretty good and also cheap ! Open late with a fun atmosphere !

AmateurConcierge

Decent bar food and a great place to have some drinks on the water on a sunny day

Debra M

Go there to take your dog, enjoy the view and a cold beer but, don't go for the food!

Amazing view of the creek and lively bar in summer. Food isn't anything to brag about.

Frank Collins

Best Local Place!! Good seafood , service and Shem Creek views ! Try the Scallops !

The she-crab soup was good, creamy and great flavor. I had the Carolina peel and eat shrimp and felt let down. The shrimp was small and over cooked.

Lisa Bailey

The food is not the greatest, but you can't beat the location. Come here and have a few beers with your dog!

They allow dogs!!! The service is awesome, great view (we saw dolphins our fist time). Definitely a must go in the Charleston area

Fiery shrimp , steamed oysters , fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese , fat tire beer
