    Great spot in Port Royal! We came in at lunch time and had a great experience. The parking lot was full so we parked nearby. Once you enter there is a small bar area on the left and restrooms to the right. Several smaller areas to dine in with a couple of enclosed ones for a more private dining experience. Upon entering we were immediately seated. Our server brought us waters and we quickly ordered. Burger for my husband and shrimp and grits for me. I loved the grits and he said his burger was excellent! We will definitely return!

    Maddison's is amazing!!!! It's truly where the locals eat and after you eat there you'll keep coming back. Everything is made fresh. They have something for everyone on their menu. Our waiter was awesome! He checked on us and kept our glasses filled. I love the way they are decorated. It was a little hot on the porch but it is great in cooler weather. Maddison's has been a family favorite of ours since we first came 2 years ago just like Port Royal. Beautiful town with this great restaurant.

    She crab

    Greeted nicely at the door. Really cozy inside. Outside patio fairly plain. Ordered she crab. It was good. Also had redfish sandwich and seafood pasta. Hubs enjoyed the redfish a lot. Pasta was very tasty though there was some kind of chewy seasoning in it. No big deal. Waiter was nice and attentive. Only thing was the restroom could use a bit of cleaning. Will definitely go back.

    Fried crab legs, scallops, shrimp, fish and hush puppies

    Back for our annual trip and review of Dockside. This is probably our favorite restaurant. Friendly…read morewait staff, excellent food and beautiful view. My only negative feedback is the temperature in there. I know it's hot outside but the restaurant is uncomfortably hot.

    Stopped by Dockside tonight and had a really enjoyable experience…read more I started with the coconut shrimp appetizer, and it was so good that I ended up ordering another round and just calling that dinner. The food exceeded my expectations, and combined with the waterfront setting, made for a great evening. The view is absolutely beautiful. In my opinion, Dockside has one of the better waterfront views in Beaufort. While it isn't positioned for a perfect sunset, getting there as the sun starts going down is well worth it. After dinner, taking a walk around the marina is a great way to end the night. Service was solid overall. Our server was patient, responsive, and did a great job taking care of us throughout the meal. The only minor issue we had was that when our food was delivered, the cocktail sauce for the shrimp was missing, and the team member who brought it out seemed a little annoyed when we asked about it. To be fair, our server quickly fixed the issue, and it wasn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things. I'm giving Dockside 4 out of 5 stars. Not because it wasn't very good--it was. I just reserve 5-star reviews for places that leave me struggling to find anything that could be improved. My biggest critique is really more of a personal preference than a complaint. Dockside is very seafood-focused, which makes sense given what it is. However, the non-seafood options felt somewhat limited. If you're bringing someone who doesn't enjoy seafood, there aren't a ton of choices outside of a few entrees. I'd love to see something simple added to the menu--a burger, chicken tenders, or another casual option--to make it easier to bring friends and family members who aren't seafood fans. Overall, I'd absolutely recommend Dockside to both locals and visitors. Great food, beautiful views, a relaxed atmosphere, and a place I'll definitely visit again.

    The waffle and BBQ (I chose brisket), and the BBQ Nachos were amazing! I *love* the Roadhouse on…read moreSavannah Hwy too, so I almost felt guilty trying this spot. However, Smokehouse at Paris Avenue is much more what you expect in a BBQ place than the upscale feel of Roadhouse. We went on a Friday night and they were fairly busy, especially with take-out. The dining room is small, and it is a counter-serve establishment, but the folks working were so friendly. One in my party was a little perturbed that we had to wait a while for our food, but the portions were large, filling, and delicious. I was curious to learn about the history of the space itself. We will be back! So good.

    I went to the smokehouse with my mom and we both loved our meals. She had fried oysters, fried okra…read more& mac & cheese. I had brisket, red rice & cabbage. My mom said her oysters were really good & I did try the okra and it was delicious. My brisket was good, very juicy, tender & tasty. My red rice was some of the best I've EVER had as well as the cabbage. Another reviewer said the cabbage was overcooked and that's his opinion but in my opinion that's how southern cooked cabbage should be. I tried my mom's mac & cheese and that was also some of the best I've ever had. The next day I went back to get a to go order to take home to Summerville for my family. I ordered the brisket, ribs, red rice, mac & cheese, cabbage & coleslaw. Unfortunately my coleslaw wasn't in the bag when I got home. Their ribs are really good too, the only thing that I didn't like is that the silver skin was left on. Most places I get ribs from the silver skin is removed. All of the sides were delicious! I actually like their sides more than the bbq. Bbq is good but the sides are delicious!!
