I recently ordered from Tater's Sea & Soul while in Charleston visiting, and I found the online…read moreordering and pickup process to be incredibly efficient, with my food being ready exactly at the estimated time. I opted for the seafood platter featuring fried shrimp and fried whiting, and I added a side of wings, an extra order of mac and cheese, and a cup of their signature Geechee sauce. While the red rice included with the platter was decent and met expectations, the rest of the meal was unfortunately underwhelming. The fish lacked a fresh taste and the macaroni and cheese was extremely bland, requiring me to use the Geechee sauce just to inject some necessary flavor into the dish. Given that the main components failed to impress, there wasn't anything about this experience that would make me return for a future visit.

The crab rice was highly recommended, but wasn't what I expected. It was very mild in flavor and skimpy on the crab. The crab claw clusters were a little small, but she gave me an extra one so that's fair. As soon as I got home I changed into a stained shirt and devoured 3 crab claw clusters dripping with garlic-herb butter with my bare hands. This is not a food I eat in front of others. The butter sauce was very thin but flavorful and there was plenty of it. The yams were delicious, and sweet as dessert. Hubby's shrimp po boy was filling and very good.

We came here because of the great reviews. Unfortunately, our experience did not match the…read morereputation. We were told there would be a 20 to 25 minute wait. The hostess told us we could sit at the bar, but said we couldn't order food or drinks, only water. A short time later, we watched other guests being served drinks. When we asked the bartender about the policy, she seemed confused and gladly took our order. That lack of communication was frustrating from the start. What really stood out was being overlooked. We watched four parties get seated before us while we sat in plain sight at the bar waiting to be called. When we finally asked about our table, the hostess asked for our name and said, "Y'all didn't hear me calling your name." We were sitting only a few steps away from the hostess stand, so it would have been very difficult to miss. After we were seated, she did apologize, but by then the experience had already gotten off to a frustrating start. The restaurant was uncomfortably hot. There was an air conditioned dining area with available seating, yet we were seated in the hot section. We were literally sweating while trying to eat. A restaurant should be a place where you can enjoy your meal, not rush through it because you're overheating. I even forgot the slice of cake I purchased because I just wanted to get outside. The cleanliness also raised concerns. The tables were sticky, the condiment containers were sticky, and my drink had debris floating in it more than once. The bartender replaced it immediately, and I appreciated that, but after seeing debris again along with the condition of the dining area, it made me question the overall cleanliness. The food was okay, but it wasn't memorable enough to make up for everything else. I expected a much better experience based on the reviews. I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, but this experience fell far below what the reviews led me to expect. I hope management addresses the communication between staff, the cleanliness of the dining area, and the seating process because this restaurant has the potential to provide a much better experience than the one we had. I chose Hannibal's because I wanted to support a well-known local, Black-owned business with an outstanding reputation. That's exactly why this experience was so disappointing. I truly hope management addresses these issues because this restaurant clearly means a lot to the community, and I'd love the opportunity to have the experience so many others have described.

You order, they plate it, you pay and either take it to go or to sit in the small dining area. Service is very quick and efficient, and you can tell there are a lot of regulars who come here because the staff joked and laughed with them as they waited in line. Speaking of the line, it moved fast but while we were there a woman came around with a tray and offered little cups of brightly colored something. I chose red and was delighted to see it was a frozen punch, red is cherry. My friend got orange and he said it was like a mango or peach flavor. I ordered the fried chicken, with cabbage and red rice. The cabbage was absolute fire, it was so tender and delicious. The red rice was good, but a bit on the dry side. I feel like had I been there when a fresh pan was brought out it would have been a lot better. The fried chicken was perfectly cooked and had a flaky crust but it needed salt and the tables did not provide any. I would come back, there are so many other things I would love to try and this place is busy for a reason.

Their order came with fries and I ordered mashed potatoes and coleslaw with my dinner. Hush puppies and a corn muffin came with my meal. It took about 25-30 minutes for our meal to arrive. My dinner was delicious. Country fried steak was tender and crispy. Mashed potatoes had chunks which I like, the coleslaw was creamy with great taste, hush puppies were fantastic, and the only disappointment was the corn muffin was not warm. My wife loved her burger.

The wings were seasoned and fried well. The cabbage was well past done, mushy, but flavorful. The experience left me thinking, "I did that and I don't have to do it again."
