We chose to eat inside due to the heat! We got sat at a cute window seat overlooking the water. We were greeted right away and we ordered. Food was absolutely delicious. Being gluten free stinks most of the time because I can't just order what I want. This was not the case here! I got to eat fried seafood and it was awesome! Highly recommend. We have tons left over and very happy with our experience.
What happened to the prices? Went in for two desserts and beers and paid $60. Dessert was good but not that good. For some reason the bartender came out and talked to all tables. It became a conversation so not really sure why he took over service from the wait staff. Nice view.
First time in the bar!! BEAUTIFUL! Service was GREAT Thank you Brycin! We started with the Bang Bang Shrimp. I had a cup of She Crab soup. They were out of the Grits & Bacon I wanted sadness. The others had the Smoked 1/2 Chicken & the Tavern Bird sammy. All was good.
I have to admit I was excited when MST announced some new additions to their prior stellar line up, but these just didn't HIT like the classics. The bang bang shrimp didn't have that crunchy, fluff that's normally there and were a bit tougher than usual. The crab and corn fritters tasted nothing of their ingredients listed and simply like an expensive peach-colored hushpuppy (6). The pear salad was nice but the dressing tasted like oil with a zest of lemon passed over it. The root beer beef tips had a pleasantly sweet flavor, but the steak itself was chewy. I was pleased that the mashed potatoes are still quite delicious. We tried the new pork belly and this was nice and crunchy (think thick cut strips of bacon versus a chunk of pork belly you would normally get). The brussels sprouts slaw didn't have much flavor beyond the mayo and the potato salad tasted of day-old, dried baked potatoes. These were happily replaced with the sidewinder fries when we let our server know of our distaste. It had been a while since we had been and were hoping that all the kinks from a new menu would be worked out but it appears they still have a little ways to go. For a nice view and time with family, it's a little much for just under $150 to not enjoy most of the eats. But, still... always give a prior favorite dining establishment another try even after hiccups such as these, so looking forward at trying them again in the distant future and being able to update my review more favorably then!
I love the Shem Creek area and every time I am in town, I make my way to it like a salmon swimming upstream to spawn. So many good seafood options! The Mill Street Tavern is beautifully situated along the marsh with magnificent coastal views. We sat outside, shaded from the sun, with a gentle breeze cooling us from the noonday heat. Perfect. Our orders of Bang Band Shrimp and Oyster Po' Boy, however, left us disappointed. The batter on the shrimp was drenched in oil and the sauce had little zip and absolutely no bang. Similarly, the oyster batter was thick and crunchy which robbed the oyster of its delicacy. Bummer. With so many places to enjoy the cuisine of Shem Creek, my "Give 'em a Whirl" meter has my GPS navigating elsewhere.
This place was amazing. My wife and I went here to celebrate our 7th anniversary and everything went perfectly! The place was pretty quiet, the service was amazing, and the food and drinks were fantastic! My wife has Celiac and so much of their menu was already Gluten-free so there were things my wife had for the first time in years! Everyone was so nice and they took great care of us. We got the Bang Bang Shrimp, the Brisket Burnt Ends and shared the Catfish & Shrimp platter and although it was a little pricey everything was well worth the money! My wife and I are already planning a second visit before the end of our vacation!
We were able to walk in on Easter Sunday afternoon after an outing to Sullivan's Island. We sat outside on a warm day and enjoyed the views of Shem Creek while waiting for our food. We ordered the chargrilled oysters, and Yard Bird Korean fried chicken sandwich. We also ordered sweet teas... The oysters were surprisingly large, and well cooked. We were a little surprised at the Mexican slant on the flavoring, but the menu was clear about that. The chicken sandwich was really good, the crunch of the crust was excellent, along with good flavor throughout. We were warned by our server that the tea was being prepared when we ordered and would take a while. We should have switched to something else, as the tea didn't arrive until we were largely through our meal, and then they were not sweet and had little tea flavor, so we returned them. Should have ordered a margarita or dinner other frozen drink that more aligned with their focus. We also split a key lime pie which was tasty, but obviously not made in-house.
Food: 4.5. The breakfast was great, especially the bacon. Potatoes were excellent too. The hot honey with the chicken and waffles also very tasty. Service: 4. The servers were nice but infrequent. Food came out in a reasonable time. Ambiance: 4.5. Wonderful view of the creek. Cool industrial style inside. Options to sit inside or outside.
Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday. The location is beautifully located along the creek so you're able to enjoy a water view to watch boats pass by. There is bar, indoor and outdoor seating available. The servers were very attentive. The "notchos" had a very generous portion of toppings, the al pastor pork was tender and juicy. The fries were crunchy as well. The wings and shrimp po boy were disappointing. The fried batter was greasy on both and the wings were fatty to the point they were a little unappetizing.

We celebrated a couple of birthdays at Mill Street Tavern and had such a wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the service throughout our lunch was attentive and welcoming. Everyone at our table loved their meals -- burgers, fries, and sandwiches all around with rave reviews. I ordered "The Bird," and it was absolutely delicious: perfectly cornmeal-breaded with a crispy fried crunch on the outside while staying incredibly moist and flavorful inside. Instead of cake, our group brought blueberry pies and vanilla ice cream, and the staff graciously took everything to the kitchen, sliced and plated the pie, added generous scoops of ice cream, and even placed birthday candles on each slice. Such a thoughtful touch that made the celebration extra special. The atmosphere along the water made it even better. Watching kayaks, paddle boards, and boats pass along Shem Creek while enjoying lunch was the perfect backdrop for a celebration. This has definitely become a new favorite spot for our group! Bringing my husband back for a date night soon! read more
A must visit especially for those with celiac! Great fried seafood, appetizers, and drinks. We had the hush puppies, bang bang shrimp, and oysters and everything was tasty and fresh. Even those in our party who can eat gluten loved it. The chef was at Burtons previously and has taken it a step further with totally gluten free fryers. Everyone was so nice and the views of the water are lovely. read more

The food was AMAZING! Blackened catfish literally melted in your mouth Service was outstanding. He asked if we had any allergies when seated and everything was perfectly labeled. The ambiance was beyond incredible. We sat right on the water! Many types of seating available! read more

Great spot to grab a bite to eat with a view on Shem Creek! They were able to make 99% of their menu gluten free safe as well. So keep this place in mind if you have dietary restrictions. Our server, Lexi, was happy to wait on us despite the hustle and bustle of the restaurant that night and ensured a great experience for my friend with Celiacs. This was so so so appreciated! We got bang bang shrimp for the appetizer. It was SO GOOD! Perfectly crisp, not too spicy with a delicious sauce coating. For my main, I got the crab cake sandwich with a side caesar. I had been craving a crab cake the whole weekend, and this one was great. The bun was buttery and it came with a kimchi tartar sauce that added so much flavor. read more

My daughter took me here for Mother's Day Brunch. Asian/American flavor. She ordered the chicken and waffles, she didn't enjoy the chicken cooked with Asian flavor. I had the shrimp and oyster poboy, not enough seafood to fill the bread food was bland fries lukewarm. The Bang Bang shrimp was great but came out the same time as the meal. The view was awesome the dining experience left nothing to be desired. I needed more choices on the menu for me read more

E MOTHERS DAY DAWWWG!!!! Lol. I took my old lady out. My homeboy Yelp usually link me with good spots. All and ask for is what's the occasion and how many people. After giving the information you told me to head here. Yelp is one of my best friends. Lol. It always knows what it's talking about. As as I pulled up there were gleaming mothers everywhere. This restaurant shares it's space with the crab house. So between the two restaurants I counted about 900 mothers. Lol. All stuffed and feeling appreciated. AWWWWWWHHHH!!! It was still brunch. I hate when I go to restaurants and the menu I was expecting was not available. You're either getting there too early before dinner or getting a late night menu after dinner. Drives me crazy. The bang bang shrimp and so damn good. The sauce is a citrusy savory so. Incredible labor in the braiding. And the smoke wings taste like they were smoked ready and proud to the affection. It was so big and not tough at all. We had the chicken and waffles and the fresh tacos. I've been looking for someone that has sidewalking the french fries forever and call me right into them. They are my favorite french fries by far. Definitely a different choice never had one like this. They also came what their version I'm home fries with her so many also. This is definitely a moment for foodies. They were definitely crowded. But we got there They were closing down to get paid for dinner. Mama doesn't know yet but I have a big surprise for her when you leave. She's looking for her aunt for you I didn't know if she was and I finally found it at a local nursing home. I'm going to get so many cool points this mother's Day. Support is awesome. I think y'all hasn't as a four star. I think that is pretty accurate. read more
I love the location, it's a great place to eat that's on Shem but on the end where it's less busy. Generally speaking much easier to park here. The fried oysters and tuna tartar are great starters I highly recommend. The chicken and waffles leaves something to be desired. With many options for chicken and waffles in town, I recommend trying a different dish here. The Shrimp and grits is an excellent option. The strawberry shortcake could have used a touch more sweetness to the berries but is a great summer dessert. The service was slow, my drink was empty for some time before the waitress was able to make it back, and when it came time to get our check we had to flag her down. Understandably Shem gets busy but it was still pretty slow when we were there around 5pm. read more

Appreciate that the kids menu has gluten free chicken tenders so kids with celiac can still order off the menu like normal. Great service, great views of the marsh from the veranda. read more
If I was rating service this would be 5 stars. Visited for brunch today ... had my heart set on the skillet scramble BIG TIME.... We ordered and the food was cold, which is a bummer ... I cant do cold food when it supposed to be hot. It was a shame, the server was very apologetic even though it was not his fault as another person brought our food out. The skillet that it came in wasnt hot either. Regardless of the temp everything seemed it was off a buffet or something the scrambled eggs, bacon and home fries down to the choice of bread. We did however order the side of hash browns & sausage that did come out nice and hot those both were very good and flavor was there. My company enjoyed the crab Benedict with the fried tomato that he said he enjoyed. Flavor wasn't there for me on that dish either.. so in a nutshell the sides saved me !! I wish the food was as great as the service! Aside from the food & service i will say you have great scenery to feast your eyes on which did not disappoint!! Maybe it was just an off day for mills. read more
A hidden jewel combining casual atmosphere with classy vibes. Unique interior decor and historically preserved. You have a rustic vibe and great view. The staff is amazing and greets you with a smile! The tavern is very accommodating for Gluten Intolerance and Celiac. They have many options for gluten free diners! It makes me feel normal :) They're GF fried seafood options are phenomenal! read more

The Mill Street Tavern is a triple threat with food, views, and customer service. We chose to sit inside because of the heat. The views of Shem Creek were amazing with many tables facing out toward the creek to maximize views. The customer service was excellent and our meals came out quickly. We enjoyed the hot honey Brussel sprouts for an appetizer. They were some of the best Brussels sprouts I have had at a restaurant. I ordered the fish tacos and they were delicious. A little heat from jalapeños and a little crunch from the corn paired with the sidewinder fries made for a perfect meal. My som enjoyed the smokehouse burger and he gave it a 9/10. We had a terrific night of food, views and good times at Mill Street. We will be back on our next trip. read more

Cannot recommend this place enough! From the staff to the food, everything was incredible. I loved that they have had gluten free items marked. The staff was so friendly and helpful, I felt so taken care of. I ordered the Lavender Sunset and it was amazing. Light but flavorful. I would order this again and again. The Soy Glazed Salmon was crispy and perfectly cooked. It came with the most amazing Brussel sprouts and rice. read more

The food was not bad. Had a lavender sunset drink. It was nice. Ordered the spicy Korean wings(definitely not spicy), for the entree we had the crab cake and the short ribs. The short rib was tender but needed more seasoning. Was not crazy about the mash potatoes. It looked more like grits and had no flavor. The crab cake was definitely my favorite. Great portion and definitely all crab. Enjoyed the fried rice and the green beans were nice and crunchy. read more

What a wonderful restaurant! I came here to celebrate my college graduation with some friends and family, and we all had a great time. Chris was our server and he was attentive and wonderful. Everything we ordered was perfect, from the appetizers to the beverages. I will definitely be returning to this place. Nice atmosphere as well and has a nice view of the Ravenel Bridge. read more

Is this restaurant kid friendly?
I don't have any kiddos, but they did offer a kid's size pancake entree so I'm sure they can accommodate children!
Does anyone know if they do happy hour?
(As of April 13 2019) It is daily from 4-6pm at the DOWNSTAIRS bar. They do NOT do drink specials at the rooftop bar.
