View from the table, Last Haul is a beautiful vessel!
Byron M.

Very nice place to grab a bite to eat! Portions were large, you won't leave hungry. Easy to find parking along Front street, the whole street is parking which is nice for all the businesses there. I had the seafood gumbo which was tasty and had what I considered a good amount of shrimp and scallops, I don't think they try and cheat you with the proteins. Didn't have the depth of flavor you'd find in Louisiana but still delicious. Vegetables and seafood bits were not overcooked at all, rice was fluffy. The info on Yelp needs to be updated. First, the website is different and you need to google it. Also there are discrepancies on the menu. Seafood gumbo may be a new addition and isn't listed? Also Oysters Rock and Pirate Special are both things I definitely would have ordered but are not currently available. Overall great place, give it a try!

Chicken salad sandwich with sweet potato fries.

Came up to Georgetown from Charleston and decided to eat lunch here. Beautiful view of the river, great ambiance, wonderful service and delicious food. Nancy was our server and she was friendly and prompt. I ordered a cheeseburger (cooked to order!), which was delicious. My mother ordered the chicken salad sandwich and said it was great. Both fries- home and sweet potato were good, plus tasty onion rings.

Wonderful location, great food, and fabulous service. River Room located right on the River Room located right on the Harbor Walk. We had a wonderful table with a nice view of the River and the Harbor walk. I enjoyed looking out and seeing people walking and some boats come by. Our food was great! We ordered the Crab Cakes and the Salmon Vegetable Bowl. It was one of the most perfectly cooked pieces of Salmon I've had in a while. It was crispy on the outside while still being moist and flakey inside. My husband enjoyed his crab cakes and it truly contained a lot of crab, not fillers. The complimentary corn bread was so good and the salads accompanying our meal were fresh. Overall, a delicious meal, with a great view and good service.

Lunch was nice. Nothing amazing but certainly a good meal. The atmosphere was pleasant, not too loud and the staff was very friendly.

Had the grouper. It was a little dry, and could use some more flavor. Nice setting. Good beer selection.

My wife, parents, and I went here to celebrate our wedding and had an absolutely amazing dinner…read more The staff was so kind and made us feel welcome from the moment we came in. Every dish felt curated and intentional. We started with the crab dip and corn bread and both were delicious. The Miso butter that comes with the cornbread gave it such a pleasant Umami note. For dinner we had the Chicken, Scallops, Pork Chop, and Shrimp and Grits. The carrot puree that held the scallops was so smooth, sweet, and rich. It complimented the scallops perfectly. My shrimp and grits were fantastic. The grits were the perfect texture, and the shrimp cooked to perfection. The bone in pork chop was perfectly cooked, was seasoned so well, and extremely tender and juicy. I think I was most impressed with the chicken, sweet potatoes, and bacon jam. It's hard to explain but the bourbon bacon jam almost tasted like how it smells when they smoke a cocktail, in the best way. The sweet potatoes tasted incredible and balanced out the savory chicken. I really can't recommend this resteraunt enough. From the food, to the service and the ambiance, everything was fantastic. I've dined at a handful of Michelin starred resteraunts and the overall quality and completion of the dishes here easily competes and surpasses those experiences. Thank you for such a wonderful dinner

For the main I decided to go with the scallops. They were cooked well but could have been seasoned a bit more but still good. One item of note is that the scallops meal is a bit light so if you are really hungry, get a side item or maybe something else. The service was really good. She provided suggestions, checked on us often and was very knowledgeable. A good experience overall.

She was very attentive and got us our food and drinks quickly! A T M O S P H E R E The atmosphere is beautiful.

Here's a fun, original review you can post for Buzz's Roost:…read more If you're driving from Charleston to Myrtle Beach after work, do yourself a favor and skip the predictable Taco Bell drive-thru. Instead, take a scenic detour to Georgetown's charming Front Street and Riverwalk, where dinner feels like the start of a mini vacation. We pulled into Buzz's Roost around 8 p.m. on a cool, damp Friday night in May, and the New England clam chowder was exactly what the doctor ordered. Warm, creamy, and comforting, it melted away the stress of the workweek with the very first spoonful. Our blackened fresh fish sandwiches were outstanding. The fish was perfectly cooked, and the seasoning had just the right kick to remind you that simple food can still be unforgettable. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts. With its exposed brick interior and waterfront setting, Buzz's Roost feels like a cozy warehouse transformed into a laid-back riverfront hangout. Friendly service made us feel right at home, and the skeeball and foosball tables were tempting enough that we're already planning a return visit. I can easily picture coming back on a warm summer evening--or even during football season--to soak in the Riverwalk views, enjoy a great meal, and unwind. They also brew their own beer, which is a nice touch. My only wish is that they offered a non-alcoholic beer on draft for those of us making the road trip and keeping it light. Buzz's Roost is more than just a restaurant stop--it's a reminder that sometimes the best part of the journey is pulling over and discovering a place you can't wait to revisit.
