    Flounder platter
    Jumaane D.

    Found this place because I was looking for some flounder and saw the pictures of rhe wings. We got there late and they were still accommodating and we did not feel rushed. They are family owned and they cook with love. The wings were crispy and seasoned well. We had the jerk rub, lemon pepper, Carolina gold and bourbon. Wife and I had the flounder platter with red rice, mac and cheese, corn bread, string beans and cucumbers and tomatoes salad. Everything was so good felt like home cooking. My brother had the shrimp platter and he loved his food as well. We will make this a regular when we are back in South Carolina. We definitely recommend this place when you are in the Charleston area!

    The Ultimate Seafood Rice with fried fish!
    Joyce G.

    Simply amazing!!! The service was great, ambience and food was everything!! I had the seafood rice and fried fish, which had real crab meat, scallops, oysters and shrimps with bell peppers and onions. It was seasoned to perfection and very tasty!! The portions was huge... I definitely will have food for lunch and dinner tomorrow!!

    cajun shrimp & fries w/ ranch
    Shania S.

    went to the cajun food festival and génesis le bleu waters was pulled there. tried out their cajun shrimp & fries and it was sooo good. had a strong kick to it with the buffalo sauce and the fries were so delicious. I definitely recommend this place. all their food looked top tier

    Fried porkchops, macaroni and cheese,  seasoned green beans,  and delicious sweet tea!
    Richard B.

    This is a hidden gem of a down home cooking restaurant in Ravenel, and well worth the drive from West Ashley. This was our second trip here and again, it did not disappoint. It starts with the sweet tea..... and any of you true southerners know this. Good sweet tea makes or breaks the meal! It's a simple thing, but for some reason a lot of restaurants struggle with this. I'm happy to report the sweet tea is awesome! For dinner we had the perfectly seasoned and fried pork chops, creamy smokey macaroni and cheese, and lightly seasoned green beans. My wife had the same meal but with okra and it was also excellent. The plates feel like they are made by your grandmother; its got that type of feel to it. We left stuffed and happy. The only thing you could possibly say outdoes the food is the service. The server is one of those rare genuine people pleasers. We couldn't have enjoyed our experience more and plan to come back soon. If you're looking for quality southern cooking at very reasonable prices, look no further!

    This Hardee's at 6320 Savannah Highway, Ravenel is without question one of the worst fast-food…read moreexperiences I've ever had. I placed a simple order for two brown bags with no onions. That's it. Two words: no onions. Somehow, the workers here still managed to load both items with onions like following basic instructions was too difficult. On top of the incompetence, the atmosphere was unbearable. The employees were loud, obnoxious, and completely unprofessional. Instead of focusing on customers, they acted like they were hanging out at a block party--laughing, shouting, and carrying on like the lobby was their personal playground. It was chaotic, distracting, and disrespectful to anyone who walked in to actually eat. What made it worse is that no one cared. Not a single ounce of professionalism, no sense of urgency, and no pride in their work. Just sloppy service and a terrible attitude. Hardee's corporate should be embarrassed that their name is attached to such a disaster of a restaurant. This isn't just "bad service"--it's an insult to customers. If your crew can't follow the simplest order and can't behave like professionals, then they have no business in food service. Period. I wouldn't recommend this Hardee's to anyone. Save your time, your money, and your patience. This location isn't a restaurant--it's a joke wearing a Hardee's uniform, and I'll be reporting it to both corporate headquarters and the health department so the mess going on here doesn't get swept under the rug.

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.

You order, they plate it, you pay and either take it to go or to sit in the small dining area. Service is very quick and efficient, and you can tell there are a lot of regulars who come here because the staff joked and laughed with them as they waited in line. Speaking of the line, it moved fast but while we were there a woman came around with a tray and offered little cups of brightly colored something. I chose red and was delighted to see it was a frozen punch, red is cherry. My friend got orange and he said it was like a mango or peach flavor. I ordered the fried chicken, with cabbage and red rice. The cabbage was absolute fire, it was so tender and delicious. The red rice was good, but a bit on the dry side. I feel like had I been there when a fresh pan was brought out it would have been a lot better. The fried chicken was perfectly cooked and had a flaky crust but it needed salt and the tables did not provide any. I would come back, there are so many other things I would love to try and this place is busy for a reason.

So we took an Uber there on our way to the airport, luggage and backpacks and all. The line was to the door. Most people get their food to go but there are a handful of tables in the dining room. We parked ourselves and our bags at one by the front wall and settled in for our fried porkchops and fried chicken, lima beans, cabbage, red rice, mac and cheese, and corn bread. And while we waited for our food, one of the kitchen staff walked around passing out free frozen punch. It was good! This was the perfect choice for our last meal in Charleston. We were in and out in 45 minutes, full and satisfied. The only thing is we are still confused about pricing. We think there was an error because somehow we paid $29 for one meal and $19 for the other. Can't be right...but we didn't have time to sort all that out. Pay it forward.
