Thank you to all the friendly and courteous employees for a wonderful afternoon.
We can’t wait to return!
This is the restaurant on the marshwalk that my mother-in-law always took us to when she couldn’t afford some of the more expensive places but still wanted great quality seafood. Also, lots of extra points for not cutting down some of the trees, including the one that is right next to the bathroom. I know we really value our trees here, especially along the marsh, and many of the restaurants have trees growing in the middle of the patio, but the one that’s growing right next to your bathroom is spectacular. Well done for not chopping it down!
Such a solid and inexpensive choice along the marshwalk. Inexpensive is somewhat relative, but any of the other restaurants flanking it are at least 20 to 30% higher in price. This is also so casual. Of course, several of these are “beach casual“ but something about Creek Ratz feels super casual. Super beachy vibe. There is an indoor seating area and an outdoor seating area and then another outdoor seating area and then another space closer to the marsh. They really take advantage of the outdoor seating.
You can count on quality baskets here and fried shrimp and my husband just recently had a spicy shrimp Reuben that was really on point. I think my only complaint, and this is a really small one, is that they don’t make their own dressings. So when you order a salad they give you a packet of Ken’s dressing. Another small negative is that the hush puppies are smaller than some of the other places. That’s not enough to take off a star, because the atmosphere and the quality for the price is so good.
They will often have live music, but it’s not so intrusive that it is blocking out dinner conversation. Overall, laid-back, great value and quality and a perennial favorite for us. Plus… They do have a fireplace inside for the colder months.
PS. Some of the best sweet potato fries on the beach, because they have that added cinnamon sugar! Yum!
My side salad was very minimal (2 cucumber slices, spring mix and an unripe tomato). I also asked for onions and didn’t receive any.
The biggest issue was at checkout. There was no sign anywhere stating there’s a 3% surcharge for using a card. The waitress inserted our card without giving us the option to pay with cash first and we also weren’t given a receipt to review before paying. We were told we’d receive it afterward. I prefer to look over the receipt first to make sure everything is correct.
Overall, the food was mostly good, but the service and lack of transparency during payment really took away from the experience.
My wife and I got the fish taco’s. They were amazing. The fried version was exactly what you would expect, the boom boom sauce was fantastic and just right! The blackened versiin was !!! It wakes your taste buds up with a nice smack of spice with some amazing flavor from the fish.
Our son ordered the kids pizza, which he loved. Our daughter got the fish nuggets and couldn’t eat them fast enough.
The sweet potato fries are AWESOME!! We will definitely be making Creek Ratz a staple stop when we visit the area again!!
