Too busy. Fried fish was tasty. Hush puppies the best. Service excellent. Stand around for. Few for a table - it's worth it. read more

This place definitely looks on the outside like a hole in the wall, but the food is worth making the stop in. It's very country eclectic, but has a great selection of country seafood and even cakes and pies. The food came out quick and the servers were so kind! This place would be great on a nice summer day after the beach! read more

We had a terrible experience. Food and service were both horrible. We called before going to make sure they could accommodate our party of 6 and were told to come ahead. She didn't bother to mention that their entire kitchen staff had recently quit. We waited one and a half hours for our food. They wouldn't even bring out the grilled cheese sandwich for the 6 year old. Most of the food was inedible. read more

terrible place . very dissatisfied and disappointed. don't even go there . Food wasn't not good , shem creek prices, very dirty inside . Greasy kitchen . You name it . read more

Four of us came here on a Saturday after it was recommended by a local couple. Very quaint ambience with attentive and knowledgeable staff. I needed something gluten-free and the server recommended their specialty seasoning. The flounder was tender and there were no bones in it. The sweet potato casserole was also very flavorful with little chunks of pineapple that gave it just enough sweetness. Portions are good too. The banana pudding was made fresh that day and was very creamy. We also shared the apple pie cheesecake which was delicious and not too heavy. read more

Amazing! I love how this place was super packed, but they were able to find us a seat for 3. Our waitress was so amazing. She was kind and approachable! I could tell she wanted us to feel at home, and my family felt so relaxed. The grilled shrimp salad, she-crab soup, and the po-boy were delicious! There's no doubt why this place is so packed. It's because of the good vibes and the delicious food! :) read more

It was on our list of places we've never tried so a we gathered our neighbors and made the trek from West Ashley to Awendaw I definitely felt that I was transported back in time to 1955 or there abouts. The decor was definitely very old and this place was a country store at one time in its life. We tried to overlook the old Formica top tables and mismatched chairs and honed in on the menu. Definitely a place where fried food is the only way. The place was busy so we ended up on the back porch were the decor was maybe older? There was an old dog on his bed by the back door which led to the owners house next door. I'm getting my hopes up on the food by now !! Our waitress was very accommodating and quickly took our order of fried shrimp, fried oysters and country style steak. We all had different veggies as our sides. There was very little seasoning on the veggies which is okay as opposed to too much. The batter on the shrimp was above average but the veggies were slightly warm. Hot food would have gotten another star. The country style steak was tough but the gravy was very good. We got a couple of desserts to go that were the bomb...banana pudding and coconut cake were both 5 stars. I'd go back again if I were in the area but there are better seafood in the Charleston area. read more

The waitress! "We just left" after having a good meal and pretty good service and as we got to our car to leave the waitress taps on the truck window and ask was there something wrong with our service we replied no! Why? She was hateful and she said she was just wondering and turned around and walked off!! We thought what the heck!! We left her a very good tip on the credit card!! I guess she assumed we didn't tip because she didn't see cash on the table!! If she would have looked at the receipts she would have seen we left her a good tip! Boy I bet she feels like an idiot about now!! Maybe next time before she follows customers out the door she will look at the receipt!! Because of that we will never return or recommend!! read more

This dive appeared in Fodor's and in Moon travel books as the best she-crab soup with "can't go wrong seafood" options, so I thought I should check it out while I was in SC. Huge mistake. It's way off the beaten path to get there and was dirty in addition to being hot inside--was there AC? The fan blowing above my head didn't seem to circulate any air whatsoever. Thank goodness it wasn't during the dead of summer during our early May visit. The she-crab soup was really good, and I quite enjoyed the hush puppies that were delivered to our table as we arrived. I should have stopped there. The rest of the food was way overpriced and not good. My crab cake was essentially flavorless. We were also steered toward the banana pudding for dessert, which was awful for its roughly $8 cost. It was essentially a ramekin full of 'Nilla wafers with a couple of bites of banana topped with canned vanilla pudding and a spray of whipped cream. Ugh. My next visit to Charleston will definitely not involve a stop at this place. I'd highly recommend driving on by when given the chance. read more

Seewee has been a favorite place of my family's to visit whenever we're in the Lowcountry. To me Seewee is great seafood meets down home southern country service. And while the food prices don't seem to match the decor Seewee makes up for it in the service and style. Walking into Seewee is like walking into a hole in the wall country store, an antique store and memorabilia display all mixed into one. Family pictures or pictures of folks who have visited decorate the walls. It makes me feel like I'm in my grandmothers kitchen or the place where my dad kept all his Coke memorabilia. Tables and chairs are a mix of wooden and plastic furniture that look like they can from a country used furniture store--I think that gives the decor Southern class. Red and white or blue and white checkered tablecloths some covered in plastic cover some of the tables. The menu has an assortment of from land and sea. I really enjoyed their she crab soup. For dinner I ordered Two-Way plus scallops Seewee style. I loved it. It was fresh and tasty, full of flavor and spice. The service was friendly and punctual. Seewee didn't disappoint. One recommendation. My dad said to use the restroom before you go to Seewee because you don't want to have to go whittle you are there. I took his advice. read more

Food is great quality and quantity. Decor is "authentic". Be careful pulling out of the parking lot.

Very laid back, great seafood - we actually had the she crab soup which comes with sherry you can add yourself. The desserts were very good - great patio! As you can see by the picture, it's dog friendly! Also a good photo op... Kirby gave his seal of approval ! Hidden GemShe Crab Soup read more

Seewee Restaurant - Flounder and shrimp dish with butter beans and Mac and cheese - Seafood Near Me - Awendaw, South Carolina

Took the crew out for some veggies... back to Seewee so they could give their input( last time they tried the take out- now up close and personal. Marissa was our waitress. I had fried pork chop sweet tater fries and fried green tomatoes 2 guest had the veggie plates( they loved them) other guess flounder fried green tomatoes and rice and gravy. It was tastier than before. Still not a fan of the tea or water. Hate that the bathrooms are out side but we survived. This second visit was a lot better, food seemed super fresh, came out piping hot. Our meal was great. We did not care for the crab dip( tangy, super creamy, bits of crab throughout which most people would love- however it was too wet for me. Try it out for yourself. read more

We had just finished a 5-hour excursion to Bull's Island and we were famished! Since we were on vacation we wanted some good Southern cooking, and we got it here! Hushpuppies to start - that alone was worth the stop! Plates piled high with food - friend shrimp, coleslaw (delicious and crunchy!), and mac and cheese - wow, I scarfed that down! Everyone loved every part of their meals - and the service was friendly and attentive. Didn't have room for dessert, but had room in the car to bring home a slice of multi berry pie and a slice of key lime pie - both were excellent and homemade. To be honest, the bathrooms are essentially small rooms attached to the side of the building (you have to go outside to get to them) and they weren't the greatest, but other than that we loved everything here and would go back in a heartbeat. Give it a try! read more

A bit greasy but overall good food. I had fried oysters and they were yummy. Had scallops they were ok. Did not overcook

Our favorite seafood restaurant! Large portions, great atmosphere! We've been going there for a long time and never disappointed! Our guests always request and always happy! Go on Sunday for their local Shrimp & Grits. Great home desserts! Atmosphere galore! Mmmm I getting hungry! read more

Went last Saturday with my daughter. Haven't been in almost 20 years - moved away, it is still amazing! Great service, fresh food, and the best hush puppies. Not pretentious, like alot in area. Just go; read more

We flew into Charleston and we're headed to Myrtle Beach and took a chance. Don't let the out of the way Location deter you from stopping.

We came in for lunch - having heard great things. They didn't disappoint. The food was excellent. My wife had blackened flounder with fried green tomatoes and the squash. I had fried shrimp and grouper bites with green beans and Mac n cheese. Everything was hot and delicious. We loved it. Also the hush puppies were great too. A no frills place with a varied clientele and good service even they were hopping busy. And had dessert- banana pudding and lemoncello cake. These were really good as well. We loved this place and will be back on a somewhat regular basis. read more

Don't judge a book by it's cover. This dive has some amazing fare. The She Crab Soup was pretty damn good. Nice stop on the way to Charleston. read more

Perfect local experience with fried oysters, onion rings, she crab soup, A&W root beer. Following a visit to the birds of prey center across the street. A summery March day in 2024. Service and ambience outstanding! read more

After a somewhat less than stellar experience at Bowen's Island, we decided to try something new. We had heard good things about SeeWee so we decided to give it a try - darn happy we did!! Staff was warm and inviting. Lots of sides to chose from. Our table of 4 tried a little bit of everything between us and every dish was great. The fried shrimp were fresh and super tasty, oysters excellent as well. Portions were filling, especially for $17!! Long drive from James Island, but we will be back!! read more

If you want perfectly fried seafood in an old wooden shack with normal prices, in the middle of nowhere just outside Charleston SC, look no further. Homemade dessert won't disappoint either. All seven with a smile. If you are in the area, this is a great spot! read more

The restaurant is cute. It's a great stop after hiking a trail at Awendaw. I got the whole catfish, wish I would've had it fried instead of grilled but it was good. I was dipping the collards into the leftover juice. Some of the best Mac and cheese I've had in Charleston. read more

I don't even know where to begin. This place was so great for so many reasons. Driving by you wouldn't even know it's a restaurant without the signs. It reminded me of home. No frills, nothing over the top, you get what you see. Great food and great service. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They helped us right away and we got hush puppies on the house. They were cooked perfectly. I ordered the country fried steak with gravy and my husband got the clam strips with Mac and cheese. I wish I lived closer because I would eat here all the time. read more

We eat at Seewee Restaurant whenever we are in the area. Once again, it did not disappoint. I had jerk white fish and my wife had fried oysters (after all, we ARE on the coast!). The sides were all good. My wife had carrot cake for dessert and said that it was wonderful. Our server, Austin, was great. She gave good service without "smothering" us. read more

Hole in the wall, super fresh seafood, friendly service, amazing banana pudding. The she crab soup...OMG. The butter beans - wow. The fish....so so so good. This is a place that looks like a train wreck from the outside, but I'm sure that's just a strategy by the locals to keep tourists from coming in droves and ruining this amazing place. read more

Every time we visit Charleston, this is one place we always go for low country fare. Good food and good price. Be sure to check the specials board, and leave room for dessert. Great pies and banana pudding. read more

Seewee is a classic here in the Lowcountry! The service is as homegrown and polite as they come. The food is fried, fried and fried... Just pick your protein or vegetable haha! But highly recommend to anybody looking for an authentic southern experience. There's not a lot of restaurants quite like this one left, especially in the Charleston area. And for that I come to think of it like a hidden gem! Can't go wrong with the hush puppies! read more

I was in Charleston yesterday and had to try my "Hole in the Wall" Roadfood favorite North of I-526 on #17 in Awendaw. The See Wee is tops. It's located in an old general store with fantastic fresh local seafood and veggies!!! Their lunch seafood platter was fantastic along with their great sides. All is Southern Style. I love their sides such as red rice, fried green tomatoes , potato salad, sweet potato casserole, fresh fried squash, etc, etc!!! Great prices and food!!! read more

We live a few minutes down the street so we were happy to finally be able to make it here for lunch. My husband got a fried seafood platter and I got the shrimp po boy. The po boy was a bit underwhelming but all of the fried seafood was super good! I also ordered a cup of the she crab soup and thought that was good. Their side salad was huge! I was not able to get all the photos of food we ordered but it was good and for a good price. Inside was decorated super cute read more

I had their fried seafood platter with fried okra, potato salad and coleslaw as my selected sides. Everything was delicious including their hushpuppies. I love southern style food and I enjoyed it with chilled Pinot Grigio wine and great service.

This was our first trip to Awendaw and came upon this treasure road side on North 17. You pull into a gravel parking lot and see two bright red side doors. Those are the restrooms so just know that; we truly didn't mind. As you enter the front door it felt like walking into a quaint home. Once inside you are greeted by a wall stacked with all types of throw back sodas and vintage signs and decor. The staff treats you like a guest in their home and are eager to answer any questions. I just got confirmed I am Gluten intolerant so this was my very first time inquiring about those options. Our server knew that menu inside and out and immediately shared a list of delicious options I could enjoy and not feel left out. I got the 4 sides plate and the She Crab soup that is thickened not with flour but cornstarch! It came with a shot of Sherry to stir in. Oh my word - decadent! The sides were fantastic and my husband's shrimp po boy was one of the best he has ever had. We sent pictures of the food to our adult kids and they responded with, "When are we all going there?!!" We will most definitely be returning! read more

By looking at the building you never would know the food here is awesome. Fresh, hot hush puppies and butter come right out. We each ordered local shrimp plates grilled - he had his "See wee style"(garlic, Old Bay, sherry), mine was blackened. Sides of collards and mashed potatoes were excellent. My guess is the building is original dating back many decades - bathroom located back of building and you need to enter from outside. Part of its charm! Great staff - friendly, efficient. Excellent, fresh food reasonably priced. Highly recommend! read more

Previously we've only ordered take out from here and although delicious you know it's not as good as having it served fresh to your table. We decided to go early because we know it gets busy. At 5 pm on a weekend night we still were waiting behind four other parties. It gave us a chance to look around. It's like stepping back in time. Very quaint. It goes without saying we like the food here. I love that they serve you a basket of hush puppies before your meal comes. I've seen other people complain that they're over cooked but we devoured ours. My husband got the whole fried catfish with sweet potato casserole, fried okra, and potato salad. I got the fried shrimp with fried okra, fried mushrooms and steamed veggies. All delicious. My husband raved about the potato salad. He scarfed it all up before I could try a taste. He was a little disappointed that his sweet potatoes didn't have the usual pecan crust on top. My son said this was the best fried shrimp ever. Lol. All my food was fried to perfection. read more

This is sort of a shack but it is great food. It's an old building with bare wood floors, tables and mismatched chairs. The food is all fresh homestyle! All FRESH SEAFOOD, vegetables and desserts. Our table ordered The Snow Crab Clusters, Grilled Shrimp (marinated and basted in a garlic, lemon and sherry) - both delicious! The Fried shrimp platter was great too. The sides are fresh made and many choices- no frozen fried mushrooms here- they were fresh sliced mushrooms with a light batter and fried - never had anywhere before. They were delish if you like mushrooms. The fried green tomatoes and onion rings were also very good. The service staff are on the ball, very friendly and accommodating!! We will definitely be back! read more
