    BigFish sandwich with fried okra, Whiting Fish basket with fries and cornbread side

    You've seen them on Central Ave, now stop by! You won't be disappointed. Shugs knows how to batter up fish with portions to match the bill. Do not be intimidated by having to order via QRcode, you can be helped at the counter. Along with great food, the owners bring in local musicians for entertainment. We had the catfish basket , BigFish sandwich, scallops basket and the Whiting fish basket.

    Lovely mom and pop restaurant w friendly workers and tasty food. Quaint atmosphere with tv's along busy Central Ave. The food was delicious and served hot. The portion size and price are very reasonable! I'll definitely return.

    Garlic Fried Crabs

    This restaurant is truly a gem! You feel welcomed from the moment you walk in the door. The ambience is warm, inviting, and beautifully done, and the hostess -Roxanne and owner -Noah, make you feel welcomed the moment you walk in. Let's not forget about the cooks, talented, warm and friendly. This is our first and last stop where ever we are in town. The music sets the perfect vibe, just the right mix to make the experience even better. The food, though, is the real star. Absolutely phenomenal! My husband had the garlic butter crabs that are out of this world, perfectly seasoned, tender, and literally melting in your mouth. Everything is cooked with care and rich flavor, and you can tell they take pride in every dish. And let me just say, Sunday dinner is unmatched. I had turkey wings, macaroni and cheese, collard greens topped off with their buttery bread pudding, chef's kiss! Large servings of comforting, delicious home-cooked soul. Highly recommend this place delivers an unforgettable dining experience every time. Thanks Noah and Roxanne!!!

I would change the name because the name suggests they have oysters only and it turns out there is more, not a whole lot but enough for a non oysterholic to come in and have something to eat while you chug an ale or one of the shots with a slimy thing in it I got to try a shot of something that tasted like bloody Mary's mix with an oyster inside, I felt the slimy thing going down the hatch and later ordered a dozen or so oysters Parmesan, cooked taste a little like scallops, not bad and I could go back and try something else The calamari was ok, not as great as I can make them if I had a fryer with a thermostat, the batter was a little too thick and I tend to like them with a see through batter not a filler, it was crunchy ok but maybe a little overcooked and not a lot of people know that calamari should be flash fried for about a minute and if you go beyond that is like the Michelin man The place is fun and be prepared for a loud environment because it is small but go with an open mind and it is a nice different experience I will go back and try their fish and chips

It is enclosed and air conditioned and the tables are spaced out much more than on the inside. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly and on point bringing their offerings. We started what would become our favorite dish of the night Scallops on the half shell. At first, you may balk at the price but believe me worth every penny. They were $26 at the time of this review but they are topped with two kinds of caviar. It was one of those dishes that after one bite you lean back and savor the flavors. The casino butter, sake and chili garlic will make your taste buds dance. I tried the chili garlic shrimp and gnocchi, and it was so good my wife threatened to steal it. Pillowy soft gnocchi in a rich, decadent sauce with hints of heat was outstanding. It is listed as a small plate, but I found the portion size quite filling. My wife had the oyster roll which was more like a po' boy not a sushi roll. We have had other oyster rolls, and they sometimes disappoint but not this one. Some restaurants just put a few oysters on the top of the bun and that's it, but this roll had oysters all throughout. It came with house made pickles and a single fried oyster on the side as a warmup. I highly recommend it. For dessert we shared a key lime pie semifreddo which was so pretty I almost felt bad for eating it. It was topped with a graham cracker crumble and both raspberry and lime curds. The texture reminding me of ice cream and was not overly tart with a nice hint of key lime. The torched flowers of meringue were really a great touch. The best word we both agreed on was "satisfying" and would definitely come back again!

Our experience was excellent, and so was the food. The restaurant was very clean, the prices were fair, and for a fast-casual restaurant, the service was fantastic. What really stood out was that during a lull, the chef--who I suspect may also be the owner or manager--came out to greet customers and check on the quality of their meals. On his way back to the kitchen, he stopped and bussed a table. It was a small thing, but it says a lot. Clearly, this is someone who cares about the business and the customer experience. We'll definitely be back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to others. And one last thing: the crab cake sandwich was fantastic!

A traditional Shrimp Po-Boy is made with coleslaw and it's expected for places to experiment with the recipe. But when this place says Shrimp Po-Boy, they definitely mean it because you get 6 small shrimp on A LOT of sub bread, some scraps of lettuce and a light seasoning of leftover tomatoes. Due to the restaurants name, I expected the hushpuppies to be a slam dunk yet they were tasteless, burnt outside and raw inside. Lastly the soda area was dirty and smelled like a kindergarten bathroom. It is worth the drive to get AMAZING seafood at Bowens Island Restaurant or just get a better sub at Jersey Mikes for cheaper. Hushpuppies charges too much for its low level of service, quality of food and lack of cleanliness compared to many other average restaurants.

We both absolutely loved our meals! She said it was one of the best things she's ever eaten in her life. Mine was really good too. The Mac and cheese is very much southern style. Both dishes did not skimp out on the meat. The crawfish in mine was really flavorful. The sausage in both dishes was great as well. Really a standout meal here and compared favorably to what I have had in New Orleans. Our server was super friendly and personable (I tossed the receipt and forgot her name unfortunately) and good came out fast and was presented nicely. Atmosphere was fun, there was a karaoke contest with prizes going on. Beignets for dessert were perfect. Overall price was slightly steep but given the quality I don't mind at all. J.Ja

Our party of seven ordered three appetizers and seven entrées, and we waited nearly two hours for our food while several tables that arrived after us were served, finished, and left. Service throughout the visit was also lacking. When our appetizers arrived, we were not given individual plates, so the seven of us had to share and eat directly from the three appetizer baskets. Our drinks remained empty for much of the meal with no refills, and our waitress rarely checked on our table during the nearly two hours we were there. What disappointed us most, however, was how our concerns were handled. When we politely mentioned the excessive wait, management and the owner/chef became defensive rather than acknowledging the situation or offering an apology. I even mentioned that we are a military family and that my father-in-law served, but the owner seemed completely indifferent to our concerns. The food itself was average, and the loud karaoke setup directly beside our table made it difficult to have a conversation. We understand that restaurants can get busy and delays happen, but basic service, communication, and professionalism matter. After this experience, we will definitely not be returning and cannot recommend this restaurant to others.
