Easy to order prepared or fresh seafood. Reasonable prices. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Stopped by Marvin's Seafood on a recent trip to South Carolina since it's conveniently located near the airport and we were short on time. Marvin's is strictly a takeout spot with no dine-in option--they serve cooked seafood to go alongside a small seafood market. I ordered the fried shrimp dinner, which came with about a dozen small to medium shrimp, two hush puppies, and sides of red rice and coleslaw. The shrimp were nicely seasoned and fried well--no complaints there--and the little pack of cocktail sauce was a decent touch. The red rice had good flavor and was the highlight of the sides, while the coleslaw was just okay and served in a very small portion. At $8.99, the meal was a solid value for what you get. It's not a spot I'd go out of my way for, but if you're in the area or heading to the airport, it's a quick and affordable seafood stop.

I want to first state that I'm Asian. This plays such a big role because this mom and pop seafood shop is the hidden gem of Dorchester. The food is great, I wouldn't say it's the best in town but best bang for your buck for sure! Try everything if you can and rate it yourself. What I love about this spot is that it seems like a black owned business and down here in the low country, sometimes that means if you are an outsider, you won't get the love where if you were black. BUT MARVINS! The ladies working the fried food section treated me like I was their own child, you can feel the love and kindness through the sauces and words that were spoken. The gentlemen there treated me like family and was also very kind, polite and professional. You can tell this shop cares about its customers through their pricing! I got a dozen cooked crabs, crab cake, and size big pieces of fried fish for $36 bucks. Find a place that does better with this kind of customer service, YOU WONT. The place is a little run down but does not take away from its cleanliness and the foods integrity. You won't get sick as I have eaten and currently eating from there.

This establishment is very small and gets crowded quick. BUT that's for a good reason!! The cooked food is delicious and better than some of the seafood restaurants in town. You can get fresh seafood here throughout the week/weekend. The kitchen is open during the weekday only. Be aware that the fresh seafood is somewhat expensive depending on what you are purchasing. The reason for the four stars; they don't pick up the phone and transfer it to the kitchen. I was on hold for 30 minutes and when I arrived, there was no line. What's the point of having a phone line to the kitchen and nobody is going to take orders over the phone? On another note... if I were you I would still go try the food out! It's delicious!

Driving by Martin's yesterday my mom and I automatically added it to our list of spots to stop at. And we are so glad that we did! Marvin's is not the largest or prettiest spot, but it has amazing things going on inside. Upon walking in you are greeted by the scent of the sea. To the left is a line of people waiting for fresh seafood and to the right a line waiting for prepared fish and other items. My mom and I got in the prepared food line. She got the fish plate with rice and green beans and I got a side of green beans, a crab cake, and a hushpuppies. Everything was so good! The fish was fresh, green beans were pipping hot, and the hushpuppies were thick and warm! I wish I would have ordered a larger size of green beans as they were so good. The crab cake was thick and warm as well--the stuffing, omg!! I am sad that their kitchen is closed tomorrow The staff is also very nice as well. They are happy to answer questions and make the ordering process so easy! While waiting for our food I hopped in the fresh fish line. Unbeatable prices! I got a half a pound of scallops and a half pound of jumbo shrimp, cost me less than $10! A must go to when in Charleston!! Put this on your list now!

Marvin's is a hole in the wall. I've passed it so many times and didn't think twice about stopping. My boyfriend wanted to pick up oysters from here so we stopped by on a Saturday. There was a small line outside but it moved fairly quickly. Once inside, the line wraps in a U shape where you wait for someone to take your order. They have a wide selection of items--crabs, oysters, fish, alligator meat, octopus, frog legs, etc. They even have a nice variety of seasonings. The prices are reasonable. We ordered a party pack of oysters. We paid inside then drove to a freezer which is located across the parking lot where an employee loaded them in the car. There's also a small kitchen where you can order fried fish and shrimp plates.

Great Soft Shells at ridiculously low prices

Steve M.

Great Soft Shells You can't cook this good this cheap! Soft Shell season had the wife and I adventure out to Marvin's seafood and we are ecstatic we did. Instead of paying 12-15 and even 25 dollars per order, we paid only $6.00 per order. I know Marvin's does a ton of business, but at these ridiculously low prices, you must wonder how they make any money. Although I prefer my Soft Shells a little crispier, they were of good size with a nice flavorful batter. The wife said the Green Beans were some of the best she ever had. We both thoroughly enjoyed Hush puppies which were hot and crispy on the outside, not an over cooked inside, with a slight but not overly sweet after taste. If there is anything, I would change it would be some sort of seating (even if a bench or two outside), otherwise we eat in the car, just so the fired items don't go soft sitting in the Styrofoam box.

This is a hole in the wall kinda place, and a hidden secret worth keeping. Infact, I almost felt guilt leaking this secret on Yelp, but if it's for the good of all fellow Yelpers, its something worth doing. The fish is the freshest I've seen in the US, the people are friendly, the service is efficient, and the prices are great!

Marvin's is an absolute MUST if you are in North Charleston! The food was fresh and fried to perfection. The fried shrimp was large and lightly breaded and absolutely perfect (many places will cheap out on the shrimp and heavily bread it, compromising the quality). The hush puppies were the absolute best I've tasted in a long time! Definitely get extra! On top of all of this, the food is priced incredibly, and I was able to comfortably feed my family of five! Use cash if you can. We saved a card fee, which adds up quickly! Highly recommend! read more

This was my first time eating here and I do not recommend this place. I asked a fellow customer as I waited in line and they said that the place was "pretty good." I immediately took that persons advice and continued to place an order. The fries weren't fried long enough. The hush puppies were fried way too hard as it was difficult to chew or bite. To top it off, I received the wrong order. I was not impressed. read more

They never miss with these fried crabs. Theeeee best in Charleston. Breading actually is like fried food and not "batter-y" or "doughy". Some other places have the batter like hush puppy thick. They actually CLEAN the crabs to perfection. If you want your fried crabs actually be "fried crabs" like if you were getting fried chicken-then this is the best place to get them from around here. Customer service is good with the ladies in the kitchen- I guess I'm a regular lol read more

You can get a good amount of crabs, shrimp, and oysters for really cheap that it's impressive they're making money.

I don't have plans to come back to the area but if I do I'll come to Marvins. Deviled crab was awesome. Fish was awesome, plentiful and affordable. Service was super nice and helpful. Two of us ate for less than $16.00 and we have a lot left over: portions are big. The fresh seafood looked good/affordable- read more

Marvin's Seafood on Dorchester Road in North Charleston is one of my favorite options for seafood in the area as everything here is fresh, well made, and flavorful. The sides are almost as good as the seafood too. Everything that I have ever had from here has been excellent and you get a really good value for all that you order. You know a place is really good if there is a line outside and they are worth the wait to get a really good meal. read more

So if you want some great fried seafood, why not get it from the place that catches it! Don't wait for it to hit the restaurant and they increase the price....for the same fish...likely cooked the same way (or similar). Marvin's is great. Fresh seafood. Good variety. Great portions. Quick but thorough service. Fair pricing. I know this place stays busy (another testament to how great the food is. I often place my order over the phone and just come in to pick it up. They seem to place a lot of to go orders. Staff are always warm and welcoming and the flavor on the food is great! I love getting the fried shrimp platter. In regard to the fresh fish, there is great variety and I like that they will fix it however you want (head off, scaled, fillet....etc.) The fish are always a nice size and the prices are fair. The crabs are also sold at a competitive price and blue crab are so famous is Charleston. Marvin's is in a convenient location with decent parking in the lot. Their hours are great but they stop taking order (I believe) about 30 min prior to closing. Just be sure to call ahead of time. You definitely can't go wrong here so give Marvin's a try! read more

Normally I would…read morejust go to Publix out of habit, but I actually forget to stop there and went to H&L since it was on the way back. I've passed by here a million times before (I live off of Ashley Phosphate) and I was never quite sure if it was a seafood market or a restaurant, and I was under the impression that it was just fried seafood which isn't my favorite. It is most definitely a seafood market, though they can prepare fresh seafood for you too to go. Staff was super friendly, prices were very, very good, and there was a fantastic selection. They had everything I could have hoped for, and a ton of stuff I would not have expected. If you need some specialty seafood - think massive tiger shrimp - this is the place to go. They also have fresh lobster and crabs that they can steam for you. Now that I know what their selection and pricing is, I will be back! J.Ja

We got a whole fish (which they said they couldn't debone but could descale it?) and it smelled so bad. It had meat that was disintegrating as we tried to butcher it. Then the scallops (sea scallops) looked funny to me. My suspicions were right because cutting in half I found they were either a bunch of tiny bay scallops shoved together in a perfect "scallop" mold, or it was something else- definitely not sea scallops. Super frustrated we wasted our money on this place.

We made a reservation, but ordered at the counter. We ordered a handful of dishes to share. The girl was very helpful and giving us a separate gluten-free menu that allowed us to order for my husband. This place is a Latin/Asian infusion so we were very excited to see how the flavors played out since it is two of our favorite types of food. The best thing I had was the special, stir fried udon noodles with the steak. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the chili spice on it was amazing and it wasn't overly sauced. The steak that accompanied it was also delicious. The tomato cucumber salad was fresh, but could've used a little more salt in my opinion. The bao bun and tacos were also nice and great portions. I would say for me I didn't love the pad Thai in comparison to the many that I've had before, because it was a bit different in flavor profiles than what I'm used to. I wanted a little bit more of the fish sauce and tamarin flavor. You have to get their milkshakes, I'm sure all of them are great. But the one we have was absolutely decadent and delicious! We had more than enough food, and ended up taking a lot of it home. They were multiple people helping us, and they were all very nice and friendly. I'm coming back for the udon noodle dish!

We ordered the chai latte, cold brew with caramel and oat milk, and a slice of earl grey carrot cake. We added sweet coconut cold foam to both drinks. I was astonished to pay $19 for those 2 drinks and another $8 for a very small slice of cake. Chai latte- Found it to be okay...nothing super special about it. Cold brew- It reminded me of this specific sesame grain drink with barely any coffee taste. Could not finish. Carrot cake- It was moist and the frosting was good. No part of it tasted like earl grey imo. I would skip on the sweet coconut cold foam as it barely provides sweetness to your drink, which in turn, is not worth the additional cost. Overall, it was a nice place to cool down and the atmosphere was alright. The interior is aesthetic and well designed. Coffee is not really special and cake is good. Wallet may shed a tear.
