We had the Po Boys and they were great. My season fries weren't anything special and collard side was good but not any ham or bacon with them. Service was great and very friendly. read more

Great atmosphere, good food, friendly staff. Don't miss it. One hint, they serve the sherry in the side with the she crab soup. Add it sparingly, it's easy to overdo Otherwise just enjoy! read more

The original. The best. When it was out in L.A. (Lower Awendaw) it was a short drive. Now it's just outside Mt Pleasant and easy to get to. We go there and sometimes just eat the sides. Get their fried flounder. It's the best this side of the Cooper. read more

This was one of my first seafood places to visit when we first arrived in SC. This visit was just as good as the first. We started off with a bowl of She Crab soup and is was pretty good but it doesn't compare to what is served at Fleet Landing (Charleston Restaurant). Our meals were the daily special; grouper - Seewee style, and flounder and shrimp plate also Seewee style. i was hoping that we would have gotten something a little more meaty in the flounder or a few more shrimp, or a bigger piece of grouper. We opted for the Seewee spice on the food since it wasn't blacked or fried. The flavor was enjoyable, they used old bay seasoning and a few more flavors. The taste of the squash and the greens were terrible, both were cooked to a mush and had no flavor at all. The only side dish that did taste well was the sweet potato dish. I was very upset with the she crab soup; it was very gloppy and had a lot of clumps of soup that wasn't crab but of congealed corn starch and milk. It was not pleasant. I'm hesitate to stop by here again, it is 45 minutes from the house and they have turned away from the specialized seafood restaurant that they used to be. Too sad. read more

Great rustic dining near Mount Pleasant, SC. Seafood selection was very good. We started with the fried clams, and then my wife had the grouper fingers while I had the broiled flounder. Food and sides were fantastic, and service was very good. We would dine here again. read more

The service and some of the food was outstanding. The restaurant is a good 20 drive outside of Charleston. The reviews we saw mentioned the she-crab soup being awesome. So we tried the she-crab soup. I was disappointed, I could taste the real crab meat although the soup was very bland. The restaurant is old and hard to find. It's clean inside although the rest rooms are not attached to restaurant. The grilled flounder, grilled scallops and grilled shrimp is excellent. Fried green tomatoes and fried mushrooms are good, although not excellent. The waitress was outstanding. Beer and sodas are served out of a can read more

What a dive! Looks worn from outside, worse inside! On Rt 17, busy highway. But wait, you must go here. Hush puppies when you walk in. Clams to die for with all the fixings. Shrimp local and big. Tons of food at extremely low prices. Worth the trip. It's local but very good food. Frank G read more

My husband saw this restaurant in a Golf Magazine. We were on vacation from Missouri and headed to Charleston from Myrtle Beach. This was the perfect stop. It was a Thursday a little after 11:30. Not too busy, quick service and we got our food quickly as well. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The complimentary hush puppies were delicious!! All 5 of us enjoyed our food but I only took a pic of my shrimp plate. I thought the shrimp was great!! We would return again if ever in the area. read more

Seewee Restaurant - Shrimp, fries and coleslaw - Seafood Near Me - Awendaw, South Carolina

The food and service for our group of eight was outstanding! Seewee never disappoints!

Started with Crab dip, Little on the running side but had a good flavor. Ordered local fried shrimp and the wife got shrimp in oldbay seasoning. I had some fries, couple onion rings and they start you off with 4 hush puppies. The shrimp and fries over over cooked, instead of gold brown they dark brown. We had banana pudding which came in a big mug and was very good. All it seemed like a nice local place, but the food was disappointing. The shrimp tasted like standard frozen kind. In the past when I have gotten local shrimp there is always a better flavor that frozen boxed. Some of the staff was wearing their mask under their chip and some didn't have a mask on. Some were wearing their mask. Table cleaning used the same rag instead of paper towels. Just not a place I will return too. They do appear to have a lot of locals so maybe mine food was just off a little. read more

This place get 2-stars because they have some of the best hush puppies that I have ever eaten. They are the size of golf balls and complimentary when you sit down. From there our experience quickly hit the ditch. Fried chicken was served cold with limp fried okra and limp french fries. French toast was alright but nothing special. The cheese omelette was over cooked. The service was horrible but I tipped accordingly. A missed opportunity for greatness at this place. A complete waste of $50. read more

In short... Disappointed! Our family has been to this establishment a few times before with pretty good results. So, returning tonight seemed like a great idea. Never again... After waiting to be seated for 30 mins or so (no problem), we waited another 45-60 mins for our food to be served as we watched tables come in after us, eat and leave by the time our meals were served. Once we received our food, we were yet again disappointed. The 4 shrimp and 4 little oysters that I got on my 28 dollar plate were mediocre at best. The fish was fairly good and the fried mushrooms the best thing on the plate. I paid extra for scallops which were ok, but not great. The fried green tomatoes, as well as mac & cheese, were also mediocre. That's putting it nicely... One of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. I sincerely hope this was an isolated incident. Unfortunately, we'll not be back to find out. $71 wasted. Best of luck... read more

Stopped here for lunch as it was recommended by locals. I was not disappointed the food, service and staff are top notch. We will definitely be back read more

I had a burger and mac n cheese, the burger was pretty good, and the Mac n cheese wasn't my favorite, but everything was nice and hot when it came out. For the bathrooms, it's a bit confusing but it's outside the building on the side. read more

Arguably the best seafood platter in the greater CHS area. Beats Bowen's food wise, but Bowen's has the better view. I hate giving it 5 stars because I want to keep it a locals spot and not ruin it with tourists. Leave huge tips, the staff are all locals and loving. read more

Was deeply saddened to visit this restaurant today to see that as Covid cases rise dramatically in the state, the See Wee is taking no precautions for public safety. Not a mask in sight on employees although a few patrons wore masks. There was no emphasis on social distancing. I expect more of Mary and her establishment. Sadly, I will not be visiting again until they address their behavior during this pandemic. read more

I have lived down the street from here for 5 years and never made it in. I have always heard it was great, but for some reason it was never on my radar when thinking of where to go for dinner. I was looking for Seafood last week and remembered Seewee... decision made. The atmosphere inside is similar to an old timey general store or your grandmothers house. Pretty sure those two things are the same... I was a bit surprised at the prices being on the higher side, but the quantity and quality of food is worth it so don't fret. To start the party, they bring over a basket of fresh complimentary hush puppies that are nice and warm. They were excellent. I wanted to ask for more, but didn't want to be greedy or spoil my meal on eating 15 hush puppies beforehand. I labored on what to order wanting to try everything on the menu and decided on one of the daily specials - Pan fried grouper and garlic shrimp. The shrimp was a little heavy on the garlic. I enjoyed my friend's fried shrimp better but, the grouper was phenomenal and that extra garlic contributed to the sauce that I soaked up with the grouper so it's still a win. Of the sides I tried, the fried eggplant was the surprise knockout. The batter is light and the eggplant is cut into thick cubes... fantastic. The mac and cheese was great but the mashed potatoes and gravy were so so. Not bad, nothing special either. They have tons of old school sodas in glass bottles as well. One of my favorite brands too - Stewarts. I went with an Orange Cream that is basically a combo of cream soda and orange soda. The result of this soda copulation is a soda that tastes like a Creamsicle. There were tons of pies and cakes to choose from for dessert but after clearing our giant plates, there was no room left in the inn. Maybe next time, because there will definitely be a next time. read more

Whenever I have out of town guest here looking to go out for fresh quality seafood along with Southern staples, I take them the extra miles up 17 to See Wee in Awendaw. I've done this numerous times and have always had a 4 to 5 start experience. Unfortunately this weekend it was a disappointment so I have to go with a 3. I always order a two way combo See Wee style (old bay, garlic, lemon, and sherry) This visit I decided to switch out shrimp for flounder, always have to have scallops, and picked mac and cheese, fried green tomatoes, and collards for my sides. Starting with the seafood, the See Wee style was non-existent. I couldn't detect any of the four ingredients. Once I doctored the seafood up with lemon and S&P, the scallops were good. The flounder was over cooked and dry so I didn't eat but a couple of bites. Now onto the sides. The collards were bad. I took one bite and couldn't believe the taste. No seasoning and almost tasted dirty. (If that makes any sense!!) I let other's try them and the consensus from the other local Southerners with me agreed. After adding S&P and hot sauce it helped, but not enough to eat too many more bites. The green tomato was good but the fried part was not completed. They were limp and sad looking since they were under fried. The mac and cheese was fine but again, needed seasoning. I always switch my sides up so maybe it was just a bad night for the three I picked b/c other's in the party enjoyed theirs. (I did have a couple fried okra and they were good!!) When it was time to get checks we had five. I know a couple people had to get corrections made which is not uncommon with big parties. Unfortunately I didn't see our check and didn't know until we got to the car and Mike told me he paid for 7 beers, 2 more then what we had! Since It really is normally a great place for fresh and southern without breaking the bank, I'll definitely still take people down here. Everyone has off nights so the good out weights the bad in my book! :) read more

On a recent trip exploring South Carolina, we were going from Georgetown to Charleston. We heard about Seewee Restaurant that was on our route. We arrived at the restaurant and you could have knocked me over with a feather. Straight out of the 1920s without much upkeep since to the outside of the building. It looked like a shack. My husband and I looked at each other and we each asked if we were sure that we wanted to go in. Ever the adventurers, we did. We were very glad we did. We had She crab soup and the two way combo dinner. Everything was delicious! It just shows that you can't judge a book by its cover. read more

It's very rustic. Be prepared to go outside for the very tiny restrooms. But adds to the charm in a way. Food was fresh, nothing amazing. We had the fried shrimp and crab cakes. Both were decent. The waitress brought out plate of hush puppies when we sat down and they were really good. Great service! The waitress was super friendly, efficient and offered suggestions. Food also prepared very quickly. Food was prob 3-3 1/2 stars, but service brought it up to 4 stars. read more

Great little restaurant if you're ever in the area. It looks kind of scary from the front. Bathrooms are outside of the restaurant. don't let the appearance fool you the food is good :-) The place looks like it was built in the 1800s and probably a house that Paula Deen grew up in. Everyone's friendly but a bit scary when your minority. I got the feeling everybody inside still felt the south won the war. Food was above average read more

Seewee Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Awendaw, South Carolina

So dirty. Frozen food heated crab cakes were horrible. Overcooked hush puppies. LOL on ambiance. You have to go to the bathroom in a plastics box outside which was filthy dirty. Should be shut down read more

This restaurant, in an old, funky building which used to be a grocery store I guess, is the foundation of why you should never, ever judge a book, or a restaurant in the South, by its cover. This idiom is second only to look at your mother-in-law or father-in-law because that is what your spouse will look like in 30 years. The She Crab Soup was outstanding, the hush puppies were divine, the fried seafood was fresh and perfectly prepared. The sides were equally as good. We timed it so we could eat lunch here coming to and leaving from Mt Pleasant. Yes, the facilities are outside, but at one point in the development of the human race, things were even more outside. If you don't find something to like here, you may want to save your pennies for a taste transplant. read more

Seewee Restaurant - She Crab & puppies - Seafood Near Me - Awendaw, South Carolina

Did not lke their food service or ambiance. I ate there a few years ago and was not impressed.

Four stars based on the food. The meal was very tasty. We started with the complimentary hush puppies. They we're delicious! I ordered the chicken fried steak & my husband had the she-crab soup and blackened shrimp salad. We got our meal quickly and everything was hot & very good. The reason for 4 stars was the mediocre service. It's a pet peeve of mine to have to ask for a drink refill because I think that's serving 101 & something that the server has full control over. I had to ask twice to get my drink refilled & I had to literally flag the server down. I'd understand if someone is swamped; however, they had 3 servers and the place is not so big that they can't keep up. read more

This place is the definition of overrated and underwhelming. Considering the prices that we paid, I expected much better food. The service was great, but that was the lone highlight. I do not understand how a restaurant that brings in as much money is this place definitely does is so rundown. I think Seewee's is surviving on nostalgia alone. read more

Definitely a hit or miss these days. We grew up in the south and know great seafood. We live near the restaurant so it was nice to have a local quick stop eatery knowing we would have a yummy meal. And we did! Unfortunately we began to experience poorly prepared food....cold, overcooked or simply not fresh cooked. When it's good it's great but when it's bad it's so disappointing. Fresh hot food here now is far and few between. Sadly we probably won't be back anytime soon. Not worth it. read more

Definitely a hidden gem you don't want to miss. For some reason I put off coming here for awhile but finally decided I would try it since I'm getting tired of my same old restaurants in mount pleasant... I knew I was getting southern food but this is just pure comfort right here, I had to get a little of everything to try and was not disappointed by anything. I'm a huge fried pickle lover and these blew me away, perfectly crispy and fried, the she crab soup was also heavenly and will be getting next time I return. Service was also extremely nice and sweet, felt very welcoming inside read more

Lowcountry home cooking at its finest! The See Wee seafood platter was delicious. Plenty of big shrimp, scallops, & Oysters along with a huge filet of flounder. Highly recommended! Oh, & make sure you get a piece of cake! read more

I've avoided this iconic low-country eatery because I try to avoid fried. But, family was traveling through and staying at the KOA, so to avoid our notorious evening traffic, this was the chosen spot for dinner. I am just not a fan. Yes, quaint & has a very nice staff, and the complimentary hush puppies brought to the table are delicious. The special was a pan fried grouper topped with shrimp and on a bed of spinach. What I was served was a soupy mess mostly flavored like lemon. The grouper was so thin it could have been flounder. It was to be panko crusted, but was goosh, and again, just lemon. The shrimp, tough and old, poor tasting. One of our guests had the okra and most was left on the table, as it was really just sandy tasting - no okra flavor at all. I will say that the potato salad and mac n cheese were stellar! read more

We drove out the Seewee to give it a try. We were in Charleston for the weekend. The place itself is cool. It's like an old general store. The wait staff was nice. Service was fast. I had the fried shrimp, fried green tomatoes, and butter beans. It was good. My wife had the fried flounder, fried okra, and collards. She liked it. However, we would not go out of our way again for it. read more

We've been going here for over 15 years. And it seems every time I go, I get the same thing: shrimp and three sides served with a cold bottle of Cheerwine. If you love Old Bay seasoning, you'll love the place. The ingredients are fresh and served hot. The folk art is everywhere and is what gives the place its charm and uniqueness. If you're in the Mt. Pleasant area, this is a MUST-VISIT place. read more

Found this hidden gem. First of all, staff were all wearing masks, tables were setup for social distancing!! This was our first time there and everyone made us feel welcome. We didn't know what to pick for sides as there were so to choose from and our waitress was so helpful. She even threw a third option in as I couldn't choose. Wow. You don't go away hungry. The portions are huge. I had the fried shrimp and they were large not the small calabash style. Side of coleslaw which was delicious and not a tiny plastic cup. Side of collards, yummy. Side of fried green tomatoes. Obviously couldn't eat it all. Hush puppies were freely given. And my lunch companion ordered more. Heavenly. He has the fresh grouper bites and said they were very fresh. Side of Mac n cheese n tomatoes. Everything was good. No complaints. The waitress frequently checked on us. Great service. The owner came out to see how everything was and welcomed us. Such a nice lady. Totally recommend. We live an 1 hour away And will be back. read more

This place is a great off the road stop. Went to it after walking one of the nearby trails. The building is kitschy and homey and sets a great vibe. The staff was kind but down to business. The food was delicious, and you get a lot for a good price! Make sure you come for dinner early so they don't run out of the good stuff. read more
