Tom MacDonaldDecember 30, 2017Was awesome. In town for a couple of days. Caught up with friends and had lunch. Well worth the stop and sit. Staff was very friendly. Hate to head back to Boston.
Sweet CeCe's Frozen Yogurt + Juice BarJanuary 7, 2013Our friends own this place - its fun. You can eat outside too! Afterwards, you can see us if you want - we're right down the street from the Charleston Crab House - right here in the Market! :)
Katie MainNovember 16, 2022I had the crab stuffed mushrooms and hush puppies for an appetizer and the Grilled Atlantic Salmon with collards and grits for dinner. Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious. #recommend
Jeff PriceMarch 28, 2013Be sure to check out the mysterious bathroom where somehow more people come out than went in. I hypothesized there was a sliding board from the roof or a secret portal or maybe even a bingo hall.
Beth BondSeptember 27, 2019OMGoodness! They said best she-crab soup in Charleston. I can’t say that because I only ate it here. Best she-crab soup of my life? Absolutely!
Nathan CaskeyJuly 28, 2013I've been trying to remember the name of this place for 5 years. Best bacon wrapped shrimp ever! We sat on the rooftop in the evening and it's amazing. Great service
Larry CopelandJune 5, 2017Great seafood wife had the crab legs and she say it was the best for a good price.
DobleJune 22, 2017As others have said, get the BBQ shrimp and grits. Fantastic. Crab cake was delicious as well. King crab was pretty good.
Manzoor FaridJune 30, 2018The she crab soup with roe and the crab stuffed mushrooms were insanely good!!!
Jess KeathleyJuly 27, 2019Snow crab steam pot and hush puppies were great! Conner was our server and was very knowledgeable of the menu and very helpful.- Rick TonerAugust 3, 2015The best seafood in town, period! Try the BBQ Shrimp and Grits, you will be shocked how good it is!
KacieAugust 30, 2012Take the table by the front window so you can look at the market while you eat! Order the shrimp and grits - amazing!! Awesome service!!
Toni KaseeJune 25, 2013The fresh blue crab is fantastic. Watched the fisherman bring it in and had it on my plate an hour later. Yum!
A must come place when your in Charleston! Awesome place to eat and a great staff! She crab soup is 100% fresh.
Mandy SextonJuly 29, 2013Excellent food, but pricey! If you go, try fried blue crab claws and the crab pot. They were worth it!!!
Pierce GilletteJune 17, 2012The best hush puppies EVER! And they're free! Also yummy shrimp n' grits!
Erika GillMarch 25, 2012Want shrimp? They will wrap it in bacon and stuff it with crab meat. Want fish? The grilled mahi mahi. Fantastic.
Demetrius PaytonJune 14, 2014Shrimp and grits...off the chain. Reese peanut butter pie is out of site too!
LaRandi McAlisterFebruary 18, 2012Lunch portion of the popcorn shrimp is plenty to satisfy. And the coleslaw is actually good.- Kelly MiddleGlockAugust 22, 2012The She Crab soup is amazing. Staff is friendly and attentive, but not in the annoying way.
JessMay 2, 2014Good came out way too fast after we ordered it. Scallops and shrimp tasted rubbery as if they had been microwaved. Food was Luke warm not hot as it should be since it supposedly came right off grill
Alana VarnerMarch 20, 2012The shrimp n scallops r fabulous! They know how to prepare them perfectly.
Joseph ArringtonJuly 28, 2010If you sit upstairs in the corner booth facing The Market, there's a nifty combination of road signs and store signs under the bow of the ship!
Calvin MorrisJune 1, 2011Bacon wrapped stuffed shrimp is awesome. No good beer choices though, only weak mixed drinks 
Some of the best crab cakes in Charleston. Always a favorite.
