All very good tasting seafood at a fair price The Bad- I won't lie, the smell of the shop is bad, I mean the first time I went in I couldn't stand it....but if you can over look that...the seafood is great. Also the location is not ideal....the parking lot is very small and it's near a terrible intersection. But if you don't mind all those things then this is a great shop for local seafood !

My family of 24 first stopped by the Ladson location, but they weren't able to accommodate a party our size for at least an hour. Shoutout to the hostess, Taylor, who went above and beyond by calling the Goose Creek location to see if they could seat us. That thoughtful gesture was definitely appreciated! So off we went in search of some fresh Lowcountry deliciousness! When we arrived at Goose Creek, we hit a small hiccup at the hostess stand. Apparently, there was already a party of 25 under our family's name with a 7 PM reservation. After a little confusion, Makayla pulled in manager Christina and kitchen manager Chris, and they worked quickly to get everything sorted out. Once that was cleared up, we were finally seated. From there, things flowed smoothly. Our server, Kylie, was awesome! Handling a group of now 20 (4 ordered their meals to go) is no small task, but she did it with ease. Drinks, appetizers, and entrées all came out in impressive time considering the size of our party. The wait was reasonable, and overall everyone enjoyed their meals. We ordered a wide variety of dishes, but the stars of the table were: * Mussels * Shrimp tacos * Gator bites * Fried seafood platter Now for full transparency -- I did take off a star. One order of scallops had to be sent back because they smelled spoiled, a steak that was ordered well-done came out with some pink, and my Lowcountry stir fry came out lukewarm (although the flavor was very good). I already know once I heat up my leftovers, that stir fry is going to hit even harder! Even with those hiccups, the team handled everything professionally, and the overall experience was still very enjoyable. Managing a party of 20 is no small feat, and they truly worked together to make it happen. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. Solid 4/5 stars for me -- and we will definitely be back!

A traditional Shrimp Po-Boy is made with coleslaw and it's expected for places to experiment with the recipe. But when this place says Shrimp Po-Boy, they definitely mean it because you get 6 small shrimp on A LOT of sub bread, some scraps of lettuce and a light seasoning of leftover tomatoes. Due to the restaurants name, I expected the hushpuppies to be a slam dunk yet they were tasteless, burnt outside and raw inside. Lastly the soda area was dirty and smelled like a kindergarten bathroom. It is worth the drive to get AMAZING seafood at Bowens Island Restaurant or just get a better sub at Jersey Mikes for cheaper. Hushpuppies charges too much for its low level of service, quality of food and lack of cleanliness compared to many other average restaurants.

Our experience was excellent, and so was the food. The restaurant was very clean, the prices were fair, and for a fast-casual restaurant, the service was fantastic. What really stood out was that during a lull, the chef--who I suspect may also be the owner or manager--came out to greet customers and check on the quality of their meals. On his way back to the kitchen, he stopped and bussed a table. It was a small thing, but it says a lot. Clearly, this is someone who cares about the business and the customer experience. We'll definitely be back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to others. And one last thing: the crab cake sandwich was fantastic!

My husband ate the crab fried rice; it looked good and had plenty of crab meat on top to mix in the rice, along with some already mixed into the rice. He also had the whiting. It was a pretty huge piece of fish.  The crab fries were so good!! From the shrimp to the sauce, it was all so delicious. I love that it was freshly made. I wasn't a fan of the crab cake, but he had good taste. I cannot say enough about the fries; they are a must-try!  I took our food to go. The chef/owner were very personable. The dining area is welcoming as well and big enough to enjoy your meal there. The food was made fresh to order.

The tartare was excellent! The oysters had a strange taste that I was not a fan of. However, I do want to mention my dirty martini was phenomenal!! For my entree, I ordered the 8oz filet mignon, medium-rare. As soon as the server put the plate in front of me, they whipped out a flashlight, shined it on my plate and asked me to cut into the middle of the steak to ensure it was cooked correctly. This bothered me for multiple reasons: 1.) for a restaurant of this caliber, I would expect the chef to know if my steak is cooked correctly and 2.) I like to cut into my steak at the end not the middle. It was cooked correctly but it was not as juicy/flavorful as I hoped it would be. The sides for our table were the most impressive part of my meal; perfect mashed potatoes and probably one of the best creamed spinaches I've ever had! Oddly enough, it was more crunchy than creamy but somehow it worked and tasted delicious. I've had both better and worse steakhouse experiences but at this price point, I expected just a tad bit better. I would still recommend checking this place out and deciding for yourself ;)

A Heartbreaking Decline: From Goose Creek's Best to Just Another Average Joint…read more For years, Blue Tequila was my undisputed #1 restaurant in Goose Creek. It used to be a genuinely fantastic dining experience--the kind of place where the food was consistently incredible, the portions were generously overflowing, and the flavors were truly amazing. Paired with top-tier service, it was a local staple. I clearly remember weekends where there would be a line of people out the door just waiting to get inside. Unfortunately, that golden era is over. Since falling under new management, the entire experience has plummeted from fantastic to completely average. The shift is painfully obvious across the board: prices have sharply gone up, while the plate sizes have noticeably shrunk. Worse still, the food simply does not taste as good as it used to. The rich, authentic flavors that made their dishes so special seem to have completely disappeared from the kitchen. The dining room reflects this sharp decline. Where there used to be a packed, vibrant house, it's now a miracle if you see three or four tables being served during what should be peak hours. It is incredibly frustrating to watch another beloved restaurant fall into mediocrity, seemingly sacrificing quality, flavor, and portion sizes just to squeeze out higher profit margins through lesser expenses. After years of unwavering loyalty, it breaks my heart to say it, but I will never go back again.
