I always have a wonderful experience at Easterby's Family Grill! Thanks to Chuck's awesome customer service and the talent in the kitchen, I always have a guaranteed wonderful meal! I will always recommend the bacon wrapped shrimp! How could you go wrong?!!! The coleslaw is fresh and amazing and the diced potatoes are on point! I always try to stop in when I'm in the area! Thank you read more

Very reasonably priced, good food, lots of shrimp dishes with very good service. The restaurant has old charm.

Every time I'm down here from Summerville, I gotta stop in for the local and very reasonable prices of seafood! The crab cakes here are sizable and filled with crab! read more

We had lunch here today and were more than pleased with the service and food. We enjoyed the fried mushrooms for an appetizer and the shrimp special; everything was delicious! Maria was our server, and she was very pleasant and efficient, We will certainly return! read more

We were greeted as we walked in and seated immediately. The interior is a little dated, and could use a little TLC. Our server was Chuck and he was great and gave great recommendations. I had the 10 piece shrimp with flounder and chose the fried potatoes and coleslaw as my sides. My husband had the twenty piece shrimp meal with fried okra and red rice. The food was delicious except my husband did not like the rice. He said it needed more seasoning. The only other negative is our server did not refill our drinks. Overall we were happy that we stopped to have lunch on our way home. read more

Excellent food, if you're in Charleston, South Carolina. Shrimp was the best, so fresh and tasty and reasonably priced. Service is outstanding! read more

Food was gross. It took forever and shrimp was burnt. Would never go near this restaurant again.

The shrimp sampler was simply divine! It came with 10 fried, 10 grilled and 5 bacon wrapped shrimp! Omg it was so good and the 2 sides (fried okra and grilled potatoes topped it off)! The service was excellent. We had 2 servers including Chuck, the manager, and another lady. She was excellent. We had a large party of 23 and they never missed a beat. The portion sizes were large and the price was good. I'll definitely bring all my friends back! read more

I loved this local joint! Service was very friendly and quick plus patient with us being reminded of the specials haha I went with half grilled half blackened shrimp (you can choose grill, blackened, or fried) and 2 sides of choice where I went with the slaw and grilled potatoes. Shrimp was seasoned nicely, didn't find it overly salt. The crew also brings tartar sauce and cocktail sauce plus on request ketchup and hot sauce. I enjoyed their white wine selection so got a glass or two of the Pinot Grigio plus they got a good selection of local and domestic beers. My friend got the fried grouper and enjoyed their meal too. Nice local spot to enjoy a quiet seafood dinner. read more

I've been going to this local eatery for many years! Great seafood dinners at a reasonable price in a quiet setting. Shrimp was seasoned nicely, didn't find it overly salt. My friend enjoyed a glass of Pinot Grigio and I enjoyed their local beer. Quick attentive service. We will be back! read more

This has the comfort and feeling of being at home. Excellent service and prices very reasonable.

I was greeted as I walked into the restaurant. My server Chuck was friendly, welcoming and attentive. The food was delicious! I was able to order 2 types of shrimp so I didn't have to decide. Chucks recommendations were spot on with grilled potatoes and fried okra for sides. The hush puppies were perfect! Yes the place is a little dated, but it's part of the charm! The place feels warm and cozy. Would definitely go back. read more

Greeted right away. Very nice staff. Food was horrible. My buddy ordered the crab cakes. He spit it out immediately. I ordered the flounder and shrimp. The flounder was dry dry. I got 5 small shrimp. It was like they shook out a bunch of random frozen fish and fried it up. read more

We've driven by numerous times, then we saw the shrimp plate special on a site on Facebook and we finally decided to stop in and try it out. The restaurant is definitely old & very dated inside. But I've been to some places like this and they've rocked my world. Anyways, my husband and I ordered two shrimp specials, (20 fried shrimp with 2 sides for 12.95) and though and awesome price, it scared me at the same time. My coleslaw tasted a tad sour, so I didn't eat it, the fried okra was over fried, and left an after taste and the condiments, well they matched the restaurant.... The shrimp were on the small side but were the best part of all of it. All in all it was probably a one and done for us! There's just too many places in Charleston to keep up ... I was hoping to really kick myself for not coming sooner too. To each their own! read more

Listen up all you "Johnny come Lately" yelp reviewers with your ridiculous expectations of a tried and true local restaurant. I know not many people are actually from here anymore, so it comes as no surprise that a lot of people don't understand this place. This is an actual local restaurant with local connections to Charleston. There's no brand new "Native" stickers or disgusting Ohio modified Palmetto Trees on the windows. It's a real Charleston treasure. I've been going to Easterby's for over 30 years since it was on James Island. I'm not sure how you did it up north, but from the bottom of my heart, I don't care. Is Easterby's an upscale 5 star restaurant serving caviar and fine wine? No..... Quit acting like it's supposed to be! It's exactly what it should be and what its always been. Easterby's is good food, laid back local atmosphere, and great prices. I'm sorry if you spilled cocktail sauce on your bowtie or don't like the size of the plates they serve food on. Give me a break. It must be awful lonely up there on your yelp judgement throne. And quit ordering steak at a seafood joint! Where else can you go in Charleston nowadays and get a plate full of fried shrimp plus two sides for $13 at dinner? No where. Easterby's has character and good food, and this local doesn't want it to change. read more

From the second we walked through the door Cyndi had our backs. She gave the best recommendations and everything came out of the kitchen perfect.

Always fast service with hot food. We've been there many times and are always very happy with the food and service!

No frills, really cheap, kinda dirty place that serves great food. If you like fried shrimp, this place is a must. The wife had the 20 piece fried shrimp, with two sides lunch special for $6.99, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/iWt4kOy7SbPu0svOugEbtw?select=KPxH2XA8oTZIXOKwi4gAdg. The breading was light and almost "invisible" allowing the goodness of the fresh shrimp to come through. Her fried okra side was also lightly breaded, but in a sparse way. The guy working the fryer knows what temp to use and when to pull the basket. Well done. I have the same lunch special but I opted for the grilled shrimp, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/iWt4kOy7SbPu0svOugEbtw?select=3vHHaK9iGBL6v-SE679afQ. They appeared to be oiled, dusted with the breading and then sprinkled with course pepper. On the grill, I suspect a few squirts of fresh lemon finished the process. I could have eaten 40 of them. My red rice was bland. We both had very good, homemade cole slaw. The tea was super sweet. So much so, that we had a top-off with unsweetened to balance it. The service was attentive. The place had a "film" of yesterday's, last week's or last month's patrons. Nothing seemed grossly dirty, but if you have an aversion to germs, you might not like this place. It is every bit a down home, seafood shack kind of place. read more

I understand this place is "famous" with locals but the sad truth is that the food has seen better days. Weekday lunch with mom and friends. Not crowded and most patrons were easily over 60. I ordered fried scallops, fries, cole slaw. Mom and friend ordered fried shrimp, their speciality. Food came extremely fast. If you must go, stick with the shrimp. Local catch, deveined. Good enough. Scallops...hard pass. Creepy little things. All exactly the same size, no texture no taste- definately frozen and maybe not even scallop. Think of like a scallop nugget. Shocking really. Got about 10 f which were cold, a couple of hush puppies..also cold. About $14 person. Listen, you wanna like it but between the dingy decor and food, its not worth your money these days. The chairs were so old and decrepit that we had a hard time finding one that wasn't cracked. So dirty and sticky that one person was actually stuck to the seat when we went to leave. Staff was great but it's hey day is behind it. read more

Fifth time here. Never dissatisfied.. definitely deliciouz shrimp. Must try the bacon wrapped stuffed shrimp with crab. Great prices lots of food. When in town make it a point to stop here and get my shrimp fry on. Highly recommend. :) note atmosphere is oldish.. but food and prices definitely makes up for it. :) read more

Spoiler alert - no one if our party ordered fried seafood so maybe that was our problem. We always root for a local business and this we seems be a long-standing one; unfortunately, however, our recent experience there was not great. The restaurant was not busy at all yet service was super slow and we had to seek servers multiple times to ask questions and request items, simple items like a tea refill. Three people in our group ordered grilled seafood which was overcooked. Another person in our group ordered a chef salad which was soggy and not very tasty. Even when we tried to overlook the fried food smell that permeated our clothes, there was not much to merit a return visit to this restaurant. And, we had a glance into the kitchen, that did not help. read more

Easterly's is a great place to get seafood in Charleston at a reasonable price. My mother and I go to Easterby's every time I visit the area. The Shrimp plate is delicious and so are the sides. We just went for Lunch and the food came out very quickly. If you are looking for ambiance this is not the place. If you are looking for reasonable prices and good food you will not be disappointed. read more

Easterby's had wonderful service. Our waiter Chuck was super helpful, very friendly, and gave us our food in a timely manner. He also offered us to go cups for our sweet teas. We never once had to ask for refills because if Chuck didn't get us one, there was another server who also helped us get our refills. The seafood was amazing and the specials that they had were too hard to pass up. All in all, we had a wonderful experience. read more

Worst food I've ever eaten. You can decent to good seafood all over Charleston. Still not sure how they are in business.

We walked in and 2waitresses where sitting around a third waitress standing looked at us and continued her conversation with the other two. No greeting no let me seat you. NOTHING we left It's looks like the place has seen better times old and worn out. Maybe the owner manager should have a talk with their waitresses about customer service . We're new in Charleston and thought we would try a local place but poor service and lack of enthusiasm read more

A nice hidden spot in West Ashley even though it's been around for 50 years. The staff is so friendly and gets to know you when you come in, that's a great added touch to the awesome fried food! Every side I've had there has been top notch and you can't beat their fried shrimp special! Go check it out for yourself as I don't want to give away their secret deal! read more

Had some great fried shrimp here for lunch today, and even better fried okra. They both were so fresh and cooked perfectly. We had the 20-piece fried shrimp with two sides for $12.95. I wish I had taken a picture of it but I just dove in instead. I hadn't been here in many years and wasn't so sure about trying it again after so long. It's like stepping back in time and it was fun. The only two negative things were that the hush puppies were pretty rubbery, so maybe they were microwaved, and the table was extremely sticky. I still can't wait to go back though. I'll suffer through the stickiness to get to the shrimp and okra again. read more

It makes me sad to say this, as I have been a regular customer of Easterby's for many, many years, Bottom line: if they don't start making some improvements, they will be out of business, probably before the year is out. I've always liked their food and their prices are very reasonable. The quality of the food used to be great. Not any longer. Their ribeye "special" is a 10 oz piece of gristle. We've tried it in the past and it was awful. Knowing that their food is usually good, we thought it was a one-off, but yesterday my husband tried it again and it was terrible. Just looking at it I could see it was very, very low quality meat. They guy at the next table felt the same; he sent his back. This is not what I've come to expect from them through the years. It's become run down and unattractive. They have decades old pictures of golfers and mounted fish all over the place. It's like a shrine to the owners' hobbies rather than trying to create an appealing atmosphere for diners. I could live with all of that, but they have not upgraded their air conditioning in years. We learned long ago to not go there during summer because it is so hot and uncomfortable. It's a shame--it doesn't have go be this way. The dishes that they do well, they do very well. But I am afraid to try anything other than the few tried and true dishes that I have had a million times before because I cannot trust that the "new" dishes will be good. I hope the owners take this to heart and do something to bring this place up to date and have consistently prepared food. I mean, it is hard to screw up a salad, but they managed to do that just yesterday. It's unfair to their servers, as well. They are all pleasant and do their jobs well. No question they are losing income because of the inconsistencies coming out of the kitchen. We want Easterby's to succeed! Be responsible business owners and do what is needed to keep up with the times! Update your space, train your kitchen staff, and please!-stop buying the lowest possible quality meat and offer it as a "special." There is nothing special about it. I'd like to be a customer for years to come, but I don't see that happening without the owners taking some definitive action, soon. read more

Two stars for good service... Against my better judgement, and the review, I thought maybe this visit will be better than the everyone else. Short story review: This is when your coworker tells you about this amazing drink call La Croix that you absolutely must try, and then you do... (I know some of you love LC, but to me, it is what is left over when soda and flavor get a divorce). Until there are severe changes, I will probably never return. Which sucks when you live within a half mile and can easily walk here. Long story review: They bring you hushpuppies to your table. They aren't too bad, but not the best in the world, but very sweet. Ordered a chicken tenders kids meal with fries. There was no seasoning whatsoever on the fries or the tenders... nothing but the taste of grease soaked fries. Even though they are steak fries, they could make them a LOT crispier... That being said, almost everything ordered was soaking in grease. Got the bacon-wrapped stuffed shrimp...which really is shrimp stuffed in bacon, because there is no seafood stuffing stuffed in/with the shrimp. It was soaked with grease and just dripping, the bacon tasted "old" and bland...like how does THAT happen? We ordered a steak special and a fish and shrimp (grilled/blackened) platter. The steak was a 10oz rib eye, with fried okra and grilled mushrooms, the seafood came with steak fries and grilled mushrooms. Of everything the mushrooms was the only thing that had any real flavor. The seafood was ok, the okra over fried, with what tasted like old grease, which is why everything was probably soaked in it. THE STEAK WAS HORRIBLE It tasted like it was frozen and microwaved or boiled thawed, and even though was med rare, it was are rubbery and grainy that i could not even continue to chew once it was in my mouth. Three chomps and I spit it out. We were done. I hate to see places like this. They say family owned, and they probably have a lot of regulars, but I think they come more for the familiar atmosphere and not the food. Which means that when this place is doing well, the servers are great making great tips. When the food is atrocious like it was when i went there, this means high turnover, because the kitchen will NOT keep customers coming. AMBIANCE: From the outside, Easterby's is unassuming and quaint. The only huge issue is that the parking lot is a weird place to be. the parking arrangement looks good until you have to actually park in the lot during a busy time. On the inside, it is also a little confusing because there is an entrance inside of the entrance. The old light fixtures, wood paneling, dated floor tiles and dingy ceiling tiles leave a dated and dirty feel, especially with the windows closed. Could be refreshed with minor and incremental tweaks. MENU The challenge is that the menu itself isn't bad. The items you expect and good prices, the problem is the food. FOOD. FIRE THE COOK(S). They are costing you money. Find someone who enjoys being in the kitchen and takes pride in what leaves the kitchen. Also, it is ok to have more than one size plate. To use a full sized plate to serve a 5 shrimp appetizer, makes it well, unappetizing. Especially when there is no garnishment, no sauces, or anything to go with it. Try different sized plates that help to make the food look better. Also Easterby's is advertised as a family establishment, making me think that its going to be a home cooked meal. As such, I think that there should be something unique to Easterby's that you can't get anywhere in West Ashley, whether it be sauces, seasonings, or even a dessert. At the end of the day, I blame management. There has to be quality control somewhere. This starts with the leadership. The manager or family needs to care about the customer again. Revisit the menu, come up with some fresh ideas and recipes. Making your own breads/rolls for tables and burgers, along with making your own burger patties, might increase quality while lowering food costs. To minimize frozen steaks, why not have a steak night instead, or have it on the menu as a weekend special and not an everyday item. While this place has been around a long time, I will be surprised if it is in business 3 years from now if it doesn't change its operations. LD Ps. To the owners, if you would like to discuss some options, I would love to talk to you guys. read more

A wonderful local treasure in West Ashley! If you like the food up in Myrtle Beach but hate the drive, come on over to Easterbys. Downhome Carolina Seafood in a family atmosphere. Known for their Shrimp combos, but they also have burgers, steaks, and other beef, chicken, and seafood entrees. Club and group meetings are also welcome. read more

The four of us stopped at Easterby's after touring nearly Magnolia Plantation. I had picked it out by sight and it was exactly as I was expecting - locally owned and unpretentious with good food. Like many Charleston seafood restaurants, this one has plenty of fried seafood items on the menu but it also has the option to get any of them grilled. I had grilled shrimp lunch special and the shrimp were cooked perfectly and well as being tasty. The three other lunches (pork platter, fried shrimp and a meat platter) were also enjoyed. There was great friendly banter by the owner/server and another server who both provided us great service. read more

I took my Mom there for her 89th BD. She said she wanted some really good fried shrimp and she got it! The lunch special was perfect, the shrimp plentiful and beautifully cook! The sides were great- red rice, green beans, fried okra, and butter beans! A wonderful experience made even better by the great team there! What a pleasure! We'll be back! read more

Easterby's was recommended by a co-worker so a friend and I went for lunch today. We both ordered seafood and it was delicious. The lunch specials were very economically priced and plenty of food. Our waiter was very friendly and recommended the fried okra which was delicious. We will definitely be going back. read more

This place is low key from the outside. Do not judge a book by its cover. Just come in and eat the fried shrimp, oysters, red rice, fried okra. And the chicken wings are the best - there's is fried and crispy with sauce on them. Now, don't come in looking to have grilled, healthy fare - come in for good down south fried seafood! The folks here are really nice too and always remember your face. read more
