We were seated right away. Bread was brought to the table. Than a while later we got our server. Ordered drinks and food. Than server comes said she is sorry the drinks were taking so long. Than the food came. The steamed Broccoli tasted like fish. My baked potato was brought later in the meal. The other person's meal. Baked potato was burnt on the bottom. The shrimp and lobster tail over cooked. It was a bad time.

This place has the best seafood in Charleston. I travelled from Florida for the shrimp, crabs, and fresh fish. The shrimp are sweet and delicious, the crabs are full and scrumptious, and the fish is awesome. I can't say enough good things about Marvin's. When I am in town this will be my first stop. I haven't been let down yet.

The base of your choice of three different types of rice and then you can choose a meat of tuna, salmon, shrimp, chicken and then you can add seaweed and other items. The seaweed is actually quite good as they prepare it with some type of sauce, which makes it kind of sweet. If you can't decide, pick one of their signature bowls, but most of these have raw tuna so beware if you are not into that. You can get cooked chicken and other items if you are not into raw seafood. The bowl has enough rice and fixings for a satisfying meal. The price for one person with a soda will be between $14-16 depending on what kind of meat you choose.

Heading out of Charleston, we wanted to get some seafood before leaving. We stopped at Chucktown Seafood Cafe. When we arrived we were greeted by a gentleman who thanked us for stopping in. We were then nicely greeted by the lady behind the counter. We were told we can have our oysters breaded to our likings. They were perfectly breaded lightly with flour and cornmeal - delicious! My spouse and I both liked the Seafood Rice - it has pieces of shrimp and scallops in it. It is seasoned superbly. For all those sweet tea drinkers - their tea is a traditional southern sweet tea - sweetened just right. I would highly recommend this restaurant - nothing fancy but great southern fried Seafood! The oysters are one of my favorites as well. Thank you for allowing us to provide you with a great tasting seafood experience!

We called in after a long journey from the UK as the Grill was quite close to our hotel. Nice selection on the menu. I had the Bang Bang prawns and lobster roll. Well executed and tasty. Quickly served. Service was good & prices reasonable. They offer a nice selection of beers. We enjoyed our meal and will be back if we have the opportunity in the future. A good experience.

Southern Living Magazine named the Charleston Crab Shack "One of the 10 Best Seafood Spots in South Carolina." With overflowing buckets of fresh seafood, great BBQ, daily specials and a rockin' happy hour, it's a good old elbows-on-the-table family feast.

Wife and I stopped in for dinner last week and left absolutely stuffed! We both had the she-crab soup, which came in a bowl. Although it was good, it was not quite the caliber we remembered on Mount Pleasant in the 70's. I had the salmon stuffed with crab and my wife had the special casserole with crab, cheese, tomatoes & shrimp. Both were excellent, but very rich and filling! The Cole slaw side was some of the best I have ever tasted.Thank you very much for such a wonderful review and we hope see you again. It was our pleasure serving you. Sincerely, David Dean, Operating Partner

This review is long overdue!! Hi Nick!!If you just so happened upon this restaurant, you may face uncertainty as to whether you should try it out. DO IT! You will love yourself and possibly leave with three extra dishes like we did. This charming seafood kitchen, that started as a food truck, is bringing Nola to Charleston the right way!! The food was absolutely outstanding and the service was remarkable!! Ask for Nick (loved him) or Jada (loved her)!Now, on to the food. The oysters were out of this world delicious-I definitely wish the order came with more than six. We originally wanted the oysters rockefeller, but received a substitute because they were out. I can't remember the name of it, but its probably what we should've ordered from the start!! FLAVOR FLAVOR FLAVOR! The chef is doing everything right at LoLA's!We then ordered the Crawfish Mac and Cheese, Duck Fries, and the freaking LOLA SALAD!!! Who doesn't love mac and cheese? It was so creamy; the crawfish was fresh and it came with a praline pecan cornbread...ORDER EVERYTHING THAT COMES WITH THE CORNBREAD!! I've never had cornbread quite like it and I only want it with pecans from now on. (We asked for an entire to-go box of cornbread for the road) It was sweet, moist, deliciousness!!! The duck fries, the duck fries...Fries, duck confit, fried green tomatoes, fried pickles, fried jalapeños....Frying anything makes it better in my opinion, but this is honestly the perfect combination of fried bits. This dish is also probably great for a hangover...or the munchies (wink wink). Either way, you'll be satisfied!!! Full disclosure: We only ordered the LoLA salad because we decided our meal needed some type of veggies. But this salad had these round pieces of fried goat cheese heaven and my night was made!! The goat cheese balls are coated in praline (I'm assuming the same pecan praline used in the cornbread) and then fried (if I'm remembering correctly). They have a sweet, nutty crunch on the outside and velvety smooth, YUMMY goat cheese on the inside. (Should've ordered some of those to go as well) Everything was just so delectable! We finished off our meal with an oreo bottom key lime pie that reminded me of my grandma :) (my daughter's fave) and three to-go boxes with gator bites that are paired perfectly with a honey jalapeño sauce, another order of crawfish mac and cheese, and lots of cornbread!!!The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The service was outstanding from start to finish. I felt like I've known Nick and Jada all my life! They were so sweet and had lots of great conversation, stories and food suggestions! And we of course, have zero complaints on the food. I just wish you guys were closer :( Jasmine, Samaria, Sonya, and Jailyn say hi. We shall return very soon. -W/ love from NC

Having lived in the UK I have a preconceived idea about fish and chips. The fish was very good but over-battered. The chips were very greasy and much too limp. Mushy peas were a nice attempt but had a strange taste. Service was superb. Meal was brought out curiously wrapped in paper but it stuck to the table because the table was so sticky. Glad I tried it but will not feel compelled to return.
