lowcountry seafood used to be pretty good, even though you couldn't eat it every week. It was…read morereally good as of lately employees have changed service has changed and now the food is not as good as it was, they had really good fried oysters. I went in there the oysters were gooey.(batter), so I sent it back while there's a certain type of people that get mad when you send food back so this time they overcooked it to where they was hard as a rock and I couldn't even eat them so therefore, even though I am local, I choose not to go there anymore

This is the cutest little seafood restaurant! Our waitress was kind and helpful. The entire staff…read morewas super friendly and welcoming. It was a Sunday afternoon and we wanted to treat my grandma with lunch after church. The food was all hot and delicious! Kiddos loved their hush puppies especially! Husband had the Captain's platter and could barely finish it! I had the fried shrimp and they were very good, Grandma had the Creek Shrimp (like popcorn) and she had a huge portion! She took half home with her for later. The kiddos had kids meals and they were portioned nicely. I will say to pay attention to your receipt, they added the gratuity because we were a party of six. My husband did not realize that so, we tipped twice. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Varnville!

We ordered frogs legs, mozzarella sticks and shrimp fondue for appetizers. The shrimp fondue was absolutely delicious!! Frog legs and mozzarella sticks were fresh and hot. My daughter and I had the Mother's Day specials with shrimp, scallops, oysters, lobster tail and rib eye steak. OMG, it was one of the best meals I have eaten in quite a while!! Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. We will be back soon and often. By the way, I live 50 minutes from the restaurant but will gladly drive for the delightful food!

Next, the staff. They were exceptionally nice. Friendly, polite, courteous and helpful. Absolutely 5 stars. The food. We ordered the fried pickle appetizer, a shrimp dinner and the special, a 5oz fried grouper sandwich. The pickles came out fresh, hot, nicely cooked in a perfect coating. Came with ranch dressing. Would totally order them again. 5 stars as they were perfect. The shrimp dinner was also very good. Nice portion of again... perfectly coated, perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. The side of coleslaw was fine. No rating as it was neutral. The fries, the side we chose, were ok. The usual frozen crinkle cut fries. They were hot and cooked well. But frozen makes them a 3 star. I personally was not a fan of the hush puppies as I'm typically not anyway. My partner said they were delicious. Going by her enjoyment, 3.5 stars. The grouper sandwich special. Presentation was good. Good bun, fresh leaf lettuce and fresh cut tomato. The fish was again, nicely coated. Unfortunately, it came out dry. A little tough to chew. My partner tried it and said the same thing. Fortunately, the great server offered to have a new one made for me. I really didn't want it so she replaced it with their fried shrimp! No headache. No nasty looks or comments. Just a server that wanted to make sure we had a good dining experience. She did. The bill arrived and the food prices were good. Taxes are a bit high but no fault of the place. We were disappointed to see a service charge of 3% for CC fee. Typical nowadays but still never happy to see it. Overall this is a place that I would absolutely recommend and if ever passing through here again, we will stop and eat here. 4.75 stars.

I was not a big fan of the spices used, and the breast was a bit dry. However, my friend had the dark meat and said that it was awesome. Their cornbread is very moist and has a cake-like texture - loved it! Mac & cheese was very good, nice and cheesy. The vegetables were the best I have had in a long time. Next time we must try their seafood meals. We dined in on a Friday afternoon. The place was not crowded at that time. The service was excellent. I can't wait to come back.

This was really disappointing since we drove one hour to get there so that one of our party could taste the hush puppies. Fortunately, they still had the cornbread which we also enjoy because it is light and not dense like most cornbread. It's more like a cake than traditional cornbread. The butter that accompanies the cornbread is also quite tasty. Our meals consisted of the Shrimp & Grits, Seafood Pasta, Pan Seared Mahi-Mahi and Crispy Scored Flounder. The Shrimp & Grits were good as always. It comes in a large bowl with lots of grits. The Flounder and Mahi-Mahi were both good as well. The Seafood Pasta was swimming in so much cheese sauce that I could not see the pasta when the plate was first brought to me. It had lots of shrimps and scallops in it. I would have preferred more pasta and less cheese sauce. Our wait would have been 1 1/2 hours had we stuck with our original choice of sitting inside where it is air conditioned. However, since there was a nice breeze, we switched to sitting in the screened in porch area. Our server was very friendly.

I was extremely disappointed with the condition of this restaurant. As soon as we walked in, there…read morewas food all over the floor in the front dining area, dirty water pitchers were left sitting on multiple tables, and no one appeared to be cleaning. Instead, several waiters were gathered near the kitchen chatting and laughing while the dining room was neglected. What really stood out was when the hosts seated a couple in this filthy section. The couple took one look around, immediately got back up, and walked out. As they were leaving, one of them said, "Do you see all the food on the floor?" A clean dining room is the bare minimum customers should expect. Seeing staff standing around while the restaurant was in such poor condition made the experience even more disappointing. Unfortunately, based on what I saw, I would not recommend this restaurant.
