    Ocean Platinum

    No wait and was sat in cold area but they were very willing to accommodate. Ordered half price appetizer of breaded shrimp which was very yummy and came with a tasty sauce. We ordered the Platinum Boil which was cooked perfectly. The corn was not mushy like at other places. We had a garlic butter and seasoning. Ordered mild and it was so yummy. It was busy and understaffed. When they brought the food ... we had to ask for silverware and plates, but they quickly provided. Waiter came to the table twice... but we really didn't need anything. In short... FOOD was excellent and nice portions. Service was polite, kind and willing... just understaffed for the night. It is New Year's Day too. We will definitely come back.

    I have been to this restaurant so many times in the past year. It's an hour and a half drive from where I live but the food and fast service is sooo worth it. They have the BEST seafood boils I've ever had and I travel a lot and tried so many boils so this is a big thing for me to say. I love the low country boil and they give you so much food for a great price! You can even ask for a side of the ocean juicy sauce to dip everything in. You must try this place!!

    This place may not look appealing on the outside but it was a nice surprise walking in! The decoration was nice and the service was friendly and great. We ordered calamari, seafood udon, ocean trifecta basket, shrimp basket, catfish po boy, philadelphia roll, and kani and cream cheese roll. I've had better calamari since I thought it was chewy but still edible. Everything else tasted freshly made! The sushi was a bit heavy on the cream cheese, but we enjoyed it. Definitely recommend dropping by for an affordable and delicious meal!

    The oysters weren't good at all. I would not recommend getting them. Usually we finish them all but I was afraid of them not being good for my stomach, they had a strange taste that wasn't good. The rest of the food was great. I had the sushi roll which was huge and delicious. I got 1 lobster tail and the snow crab. Which were both delicious. The miso soup wasn't great but it was on the house for us to try so that was nice of the waitress. I ordered the strawberry milk with boba and it was delicious. The potatoes and corn were great and I got the sauce that was all mixed together I was not disappointed. From the outside be warned it looks a little rough. But the inside is so gorgeous! I loved the ambiance to be honest! My friend got the gumbo and he enjoyed the meal. I'll definitely give this place another shot.

    Great place!!! We are traveling and chose this spot for dinner. It was five-ish (early) plenty of seating available. We were greeted immediately when we walked in and showing to a booth. Our waitress was super helpful and asked if it was our first time there, which we said yes, so she proceeded to review the menu in great detail. One side is all of their boils, which is basically different pieces of seafood in a bag along with Corn on the cob and potatoes. And then you pick your type of sauce which we chose garlic butter, and then you pick your spiciness level. There were plenty of options to choose from and she was very careful to point out that using the combinations or specials down the side of the menu really helped save money based on what you wanted to eat. The flipside of the menu is mostly sushi and appetizers. So we opted to go with a couple of sushi rolls, easy ones, California rolls and shrimp tempura roll and we chose the boil bag for $29 that had crab, muscles, shrimp, two corn cobs and two potatoes. It was more than enough food for both of us and we enjoyed it immensely. We did the simple garlic butter sauce with a medium spice level and it was perfect. We had a bib as things can get messy when you are pulling the crab out, what wipes to clean up and it was a perfect meal. The only disappointment is she explained that their liquor license had expired, so we had to settle for ice tea. Apparently they are getting that fixed! They have quite an ice bar so I imagine this is a bit painful for them. If we lived in the area we would be here quite often I can imagine! Prices were very reasonable, for all of the above we paid approximately $45

    The only thing I wish is that they stayed open later. I've ordered through DoorDash a few times, and it slaps.

    I have never had a seafood boil before. Loved it. I felt the price was fair and definitely like the portion size. Atmosphere was very nice.

    Service, selection, seating…read more.. Great friendly staff Lots of great food choices Outdoor seating on this beautiful day I had the Roasted Beet salad but was able to sample from others fries and green olive burger and pretzel The fries are real good (ketchup is an in-house creation). Pretzel was quite tasty. Burger was cooked amazing. The beet salad was fantastic.

    This one is hard to review…read more TLDR; Inconsistent food and service, Long wait times for a table, big parking lot no parking spot, MAGA in 2026 Food: it depends on who is in the kitchen. *sometimes my gluten free burger comes out GOD TIER. sometimes meh. * sometimes the fries are good, sometimes too salty, sometimes too old and dry. * their gluten free calamari is delicious and usually fried very well. *their salads are huge and very high quality, not overdressed. * i tried their tacos once and remember i was very disappointed Drinks: Generally decent cocktails, they can make you what you want within reason Location: Huge parking lot but can never find parking? There is always a wait for tables and you'll see people waiting right by the front door. Lots of tvs to watch sports. There is a quieter back room and I think they might have some games back there Events: During summer evenings they have live music for free out back where there is cornhole, a second bar, and some seating. Ambiance: Families come here, people come here for first dates, groups of friends too. It's not upscale but there is something about the space that triggers my social anxiety. It kind of feels like a stage. Price: I guess they charge premium for the vibes because it is very overpriced. Service: Highly variable. sometimes you get someone nice, sometimes you get someone mean, sometimes you just get someone who is incompetent. mostly new faces every time i go in. Politics: I used to go here more often before I found out they're MAGA. and.. still MAGA in 2026. do with that information what you will. locally they are known for this. personally, there are many other options (right down the street) i can choose from where i feel good about spending money there. especially when their menu is overpriced.
