    Fried Shrimp platter with coleslaw
    Catherine P.

    My husband ordered the fried oyster and shrimp platters with one side of coleslaw and one side of corn. Each came with a container of remoulade. I really enjoyed the light and fluffy batter on each. The oysters were soft and moist inside with a crunchy outside. The shrimp reminded of a crisp tempura batter. The coleslaw was ok with celery seed but not as good as I have had. The corn was cooked with seasoning but otherwise pretty average. I would recommend these two dishes as they were good for their money.

    Shrimp & Grits

    Great food. This is real Cajun cooking. A review below said the grits were thin - I disagree and thought they were the best grits I've ever eaten. Shrimp & Grits was phenomenal, gumbo was great, red beans was the best I ever had, crawfish Mac n' cheese was dank!!!! Fiancée and I ate 8 beignets.... Will be back!

    Super surprised by the quality of food! Hidden gem for sure. Wondered in by chance and had no expectations. This is real and real good Louisiana seafood. beignets were free and on point!

    Don't forget to leave with some beignets!

    This place was AMAZING! The best authentic Cajun I've ever had. The owner was extremely kind and helpful. Wonderful tasting food, we ordered half the menu and there wasn't a thing that was less then scrumptious. I can not recommend enough! 10 stars!!!

We both absolutely loved our meals! She said it was one of the best things she's ever eaten in her life. Mine was really good too. The Mac and cheese is very much southern style. Both dishes did not skimp out on the meat. The crawfish in mine was really flavorful. The sausage in both dishes was great as well. Really a standout meal here and compared favorably to what I have had in New Orleans. Our server was super friendly and personable (I tossed the receipt and forgot her name unfortunately) and good came out fast and was presented nicely. Atmosphere was fun, there was a karaoke contest with prizes going on. Beignets for dessert were perfect. Overall price was slightly steep but given the quality I don't mind at all. J.Ja

Unfortunately, the experience went downhill from there. We ordered three appetizers and seven entrees. Four or five other parties arrived after us and were served their food before we received ours. Most of those guests had already eaten and left before our food finally arrived--well after 6:00 p.m., nearly two hours after we ordered. When someone who I believe was the manager asked how everything was, we politely mentioned the long wait. Instead of acknowledging the issue or apologizing, she argued with us about how long we had actually been waiting. Later, the owner/chef came to our table and was also very rude and argumentative. At no point did anyone apologize or take responsibility; there were only excuses. We were seated right next to the stage, and during our visit a karaoke table was set up with a speaker directly beside us. It became so loud that we could barely hear each other or communicate with our waitress. The food was okay--nothing terrible, but nothing particularly impressive either. Most of the dishes needed more seasoning, and they don't offer any dipping sauce for the chicken fingers. Overall, this was the worst restaurant experience I've ever had in Summerville. The long wait was frustrating, but the way our concerns were handled by management and the owner was what really made the experience disappointing. A simple apology and acknowledgment would have gone a long way.

Located in a strip mall area there's plenty of parking. They have a Louisiana/Cajun/New Orlean type cuisine Rachael was our server and was extremely helpful as well as patient with the group I was with. Since reading the reviews prior to visiting, I wanted to try the Oyster Po-Boy. On the lunch menu, they had Combos where you can order a half Po-Boy along with soup or Gumbo for $13.95. The Oyster Po-Boy added an extra $1.00. So that's what I ordered----half oyster Po-Boy with Shrimp & Corn soup. The soup tasted like it may have been homemade. It was excellent with at least 6 medium size shrimp along with a delicious corn and seafood broth. The half Po-Boy was definitely a good size packed with large fried oysters. They had a separate room which I didn't visit. I'm guessing for larger parties or overflow. I believe they also serve alcohol although I didn't see a bar when I was there. Mainly people there for breakfast, brunch or lunch.

I started with the she-crab soup, a Charleston staple that 82 Queen advertises as an award-winning dish. During our five days in Charleston, it seemed like just about every restaurant had she-crab soup on the menu, but I waited until visiting 82 Queen to finally give it a try. I don't have any other she-crab soup to compare it to, but I can say it was absolutely delicious. Consider me a fan. After five days of enjoying Charleston's incredible food scene, we were looking for a lighter lunch since we were planning to splurge later that evening at Halls Chophouse. My wife and I split the southern tomato pie and the chicken salad wrap, and the combination was perfect. Both dishes were fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we were looking for at that point in our trip. We chose to sit inside because of the humidity, and from our table we had a wonderful view overlooking the courtyard. Surrounded by mature trees, brick pathways, and historic Charleston charm, it provided the perfect backdrop for a relaxed and enjoyable lunch. The food was excellent, the service was top-notch, and the ambiance was outstanding. Everything came together to create a memorable experience. 82 Queen delivered exactly the kind of classic Charleston lunch we were hoping for. If you're visiting Charleston, it's well worth a stop and was easily one of the standout dining experiences of our trip.

While we found almost everything delicious, I felt the Pasta Jambalaya was just okay, not bad, but it didn't quite reach the high standard of the other dishes.

The Barbecue Shrimp came in a spicy sauce loaded with flavor. It came with a piece of bread that was perfect for dipping into the sauce to sop it up. There were a good number of shrimp in the serving. The Crab Cake Sandwich was good. It was not as full of lump crab meat as other crab cakes that we've had elsewhere. The Catfish Fingers were large pieces of catfish that were lightly fried. The Shrimp Poboy was satisfying. The Parmesan Garlic Grits were disappointing. There was no hint of garlic or parmesan flavor. Our server tried to rectify the situation by adding cheddar cheese to it. Fortunately, the Beignets were as good as we expected. Huey's is the only place outside of New Orleans where we have found authentic New Orleans beignets. Our server Jenelle was very friendly. At some point, something frazzled her because she seemed flustered and rattled by the time we were ready to leave. We had asked her for silverware for our beignets. It took her so long that my partner got up to get some from another table themselves because we were tired of waiting. When I asked for the check, she gave me the wrong check. She went in the back to fix it and had my debit card. She came back without the card to ask me for my zip code to finish the transaction. We asked her to bring the POS terminal to our table so that we could finish the payment.
