I could not have been more pleased with my meal at this restaurant! I had grilled oysters which were amazing!! I also had the Alaskan crab boil. Immediately upon arrival we were greeted with nothing but warm welcoming smiles! Our waitress was absolutely amazing as well I’m so glad we decided to check this place out while visiting Charleston! I cannot wait to go back and try other options the next time I’m in town. If you’re looking for a good seafood restaurant definitely need to try this one!

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal from start to finish.
We started with the hush puppies. Nothing made them stand out from any other hush puppies, but that’s okay.- they were great.
For entrees we got the grilled shrimp and the lowcountry shrimp boil. The grilled shrimp was big and seasoned very well – my girlfriend called it the “best shrimp ever.” Both of the sided were pretty forgettable but not bad. The shrimp boil was great too. I’ve been thinking about the corn in it for two weeks now – the butter and seasoning was exceptional. The overall portion of the boil was very good – I was very full by the time I’m finished.
Service was pretty good – the manager got us refills once umpropmted which was nice.

Onion ring, very good! The house sauce is also very good, mind the heat as for me it was spot on!!

This is a really nice local seafood restaurant with a great selection of crab, shrimp, oyster scallop and fish dishes. The best part about the menu are the grilled options. We ordered the captain’s plate and grilled scallops. Both were super fresh and delicious. The service was nice and more importantly, you get the Sham Creek view which is amazing. Be sure to ask for a window table!

So glad we stumbled upon this place. Being from Tampa, FL. We care about our seafood… we walked through the boardwalk restaurants and wasn’t for us.
This place is a little hidden, but totally worth it!
We shared a Steam Bucket, 2 sides, and an app and everything was so great and well done!
Ate outside, relaxing calm atmosphere, and our server was on top of it! Great young man was wonderful.

This was a good choice and we were able to sit outside by the creek. Alexis was an outstanding waitress. We tried the hush puppies, fried shrimp and grilled redfish and it was excellent. The slaw and red rice were equally delicious!

Stopped by here because we were craving a good crab boil, and this place came highly recommended. We made reservations online beforehand and were seated right away when we arrived — no wait at all.
They offer both indoor seating and an outdoor patio that overlooks Shem Creek, making it a great spot for a family dinner or a date night.
The service was solid. It was a bit on the slower side, but considering how busy they were (and it being summertime), it was understandable. Our waitress was friendly and a pleasure to interact with.
Now on to the drinks and food — my girlfriend ordered a frozen Rum Runner and really enjoyed it. For starters, we got the hush puppies and four fried oysters. It was actually our first time trying oysters, and they were fantastic. I could’ve easily polished off a whole tray. The hush puppies were also a perfect little teaser for what was to come.
For our mains, we both went with steampots. I got the Crab House Crab Pot, and my girlfriend chose the Snow Crab Pot. They came out steaming hot, loaded with crab legs, shrimp, mussels, sausage, corn, and potatoes, all drenched in flavorful garlic butter. Everything was so well-seasoned and absolutely delicious. It was my girlfriend’s first time trying crab legs, and she completely devoured her pot — she loved every bite!

We were in South Carolina for a few days, and decided to try a sea food restaurant. Shem Creek was recommended to us, and it did not disappoint. The grilled red fish was really good, and the cheesy shrimp and grits were amazing. Service was timely and attentive, and the atmosphere was delightful.

The views from Shem Creek Crab House were absolutely stunning and the staff was super friendly, but the food itself was a bit bland and could’ve used more seasoning. I personally enjoyed the seasoned vegetables and grilled shrimp on my Carolina Platter (as seen in the image below) better than the crab itself.
It’s a fantastic place to go with the family or on a spontaneous date. I came right at sunset and the views from our table were gorgeous.
