The seafood combo was just as delicious, with great seasoning and fresh ingredients. While they do have seating available, the space feels more like a takeout spot than a dine-in restaurant, which worked perfectly for grabbing a meal on the go. The service was top-notch. The woman who took my order was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience even better. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area. Highly recommend if you're craving great seafood!

No inside pictures or food pictures but the food was delicious…read more We ordered at the counter two seafood boils to go. They both came with corn and potatoes. We got the garlic butter seasoning and got it mild. Everything tasted really good. I didn't know this place was around but I will surely be back. It looks like it is in an old Applebees location. The front desk has cameras all around it and there are pictures of people who must've didn't pay. It looks like your typical establishment. Nothing fancy!

Got home Halfway through I look down and see a Long 2" Blonde Hair just lounging in the BOOM SAUCE! Totally disgusting! Ruined my whole appetite. Just thinking about whose hair it could be, and with all the Viruses going around now ... What have I just Ingested? Am I now going to catch a virus or something?? Maybe It was just one time thing. Went to Urgent Care got a check up. So far so good! Fingers crossed! I give em another shot last Wednesday. While running errands I stop in for Happy Hour! Place empty so Felt more confident. How could they not pay attention, not violate any health codes , right ? WRONG ! What do I see attached to my boiled egg?? Another Hair . This time a Black short strand . He doe my hair is curly; the hair is Straight; definitely NOT mine... I bring it to the attention of the manager... And his res couple is I can tell you: So what you want to do about it, as If He still expects me to eat it or pay for or even allow them to Make me another order. Over 5 days STILL NO RESPONSE from the establishment. And Yes ! I did send email to corporate.

Every so often you have to take a scroll back and see if anything new has been added to the menus. Not sure if this is new, but it's definitely something I haven't tried. We tried the Bang Bang Shrimp along with the Fried Shrimp Po' Boy platter and Hush Puppies. The Bang Bang Shrimp sauce was different from what we had tasted before, but it was good. I was looking for a sweeter taste but again, it still had a great taste. It came on a bed of lettuce. The Shrimp Po' Boy platter came with French Fries. The fries were crunchy and delicious! Matter of fact, they were perfect:) The Shrimp Po' Boy was good and simple. It didn't have a lot of stuff on it, which was cool for me. Again, the sauce was okay but the shrimp and fixings were delightful. These Hush puppies are always good, so no complaints there. Friendly staff and clean restaurant. This is a place I recommend. I will be back soon:)

I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED AT ALL THIS FOOD IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and definitely lived up to the VERY HIGH expectations that i had and i could be wrong but most places usually charge for extra tartar sauce (i ordered through doordash and stated i was pregnant lol) and i was given a very generous amount of tartar on the side. I will definitely be back to try more and shop 10000/10 for sure! Yall know if the baby in the belly approve the food definitely is delicious.

I had a great experience here. We came in on a Wednesday afternoon around 3pm. There were a few…read moretables in use but for the most part it was fairly empty. The decor is your typical seafood boil decor. I loved the fish hanging from the ceilings. Our server was Jody and she alone deserves 5 stars. She was so amazing and took great care of us. If we come back I will request her each time. The Food: we had a big group so everyone ordered a variety of things. I opted for a few things off the appetizer menu. I ordered the Fried Scallops which came with 6 scallops, the Hushpuppies which came with 10 hushpuppies and a cinnamon butter dip, and lastly I ordered the the Fried Shrimp which came with 10 shrimps and cocktail sauce. Everything was pretty good. The scallops were my least favorite, I was not a fan of the chewiness, but dipped in some tartar sauce they were not that bad. I also did not like the small portion of scallops for the price. The hushpuppies were amazing! They had a delicious taste and also had chunks of corn in it which I loved. The corn wasn't too chunky and blended perfectly with the breading. The cinnamon butter dip that came with it added a nice sweet touch but I honestly preferred them by itself. The shrimp were nice and chunky and battered to perfection. I would say the shrimp did lack flavor on the breading, but I ordered a side of Cajun sauce and mixed it with the tartar sauce and that really elevated the shrimp. Everyone else really enjoyed their food. Some people ordered seafood bags and were very pleased with their portions and taste. We even had a birthday cake that Jody was so gracious to store for us until it was time to eat it. Very glad I got a chance to try out Yummi Crab, we will definitely be back when we are craving seafood or Jody's great customer service.

The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome. The food was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish was well-seasoned and served hot, with generous portions that reflected the quality of the restaurant. The seafood was especially impressive, and the Southern Lowcountry flavors really stood out. Our server, Diego, was professional and knowledgeable. If you're looking for a great restaurant in Columbia for a date night, special occasion, or simply a delicious meal with outstanding service, I highly recommend Blue Marlin. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to coming back again soon! We had the fried green tomatoes as our appetizer and they were very delicious!
