"THIS PLACE IS A TOTAL TOURIST TRAP! We should have recognized the red flags as soon as we walked in and saw it was nearly empty. The waiter carelessly dropped a pile of menus on our table and was quite rude. They charge a ridiculous $23 for chicken fingers, which is even more than some seafood dishes! To make matters worse, their "world famous crab cakes" were sold out even during peak hours, and the so-called "world famous hush puppies" we received were burnt. The fries were also burnt and came in two different styles, neither of which was satisfying. Instead of fresh drinks, the only options were bottled soda, except for tea. The only condiment we could get was ketchup. It was clear that everything was fried in the same oil, as even the chicken tasted like the shrimp we ordered. On top of that, we were hit with a gratuity charge. Their "happy hour" for drunken shrimp doesn't even include alcohol at the beach. To top it off, the restaurant had broken TVs that were not showing anything. I left this place still hungry. STAY AWAY FROM THIS RESTAURANT AT ALL COSTS!"

Do yourself a favor and just don't go... especially if you have any melanin in your skin. You're welcome.

Too highOnly one server in building who built in his own tip of 36.00.My meal was 28.00 picture showed potatoes but did not come with any and no slaw with it either. Only bottle drinks… paper plates for 28.00. We won’t go again.

That was one of the best meals I've ever experienced. My mother-in-law and I shared an enormous crabcake sandwich and a basket of jumbo roasted shrimp. The Hushpuppies and coleslaw were absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to go back before we get home! View menu

Instead of fresh beverages, they only had bottled soda available; the only drink served in a bottle was tea. The only condiment on offer was ketchup. They fry all their food in the same oil, which made the chicken taste like the shrimp we ordered. To make matters worse, they advertised happy hour drinks with their "drunk shrimp," but they don’t serve alcohol on the beach. To top it all off, there were TVs playing with nothing showing. I left feeling hungry and disappointed. I won't be coming back!

We're planning a trip to GS next week and were looking for restaurants to check out before arriving at our property. We came across this place and thought it seemed charming, so we decided to stop in. However, after reading the reviews and seeing how the owner responded to constructive feedback, my husband and I have decided to steer clear of this restaurant and likely the area as well. If you're curious about this place like I was, I recommend reading through the reviews first. Update: As you'll see in the comments below, they've only reinforced my concerns.

Veeeeeery simple and to the point. They do not serve alcohol or anything too fancy-it's BYOB The drinks, like soft drinks, are served from a bottle and you are given a plastic cup with ice. we passed this place looking for somewhere else to eat after waiting 2+ hours at the oyster house and decided to give it a shot. We tried getting the crab legs and they didn't have any so we both got the popcorn shrimp dinners. It was great (maybe because of how hungry we were) My husband loved it! The dinners come with huspuppies (2) and fries and coleslaw. Popcorn shrimp dinners were about $15 each and other things were more pricey. Chicken tender dinner was $22 View menu

We weren't informed that they had run out of crab claws until after we had already ordered our drinks. Even with this setback, we decided to order other items. I found myself having to get up to ask for drink refills for everyone at our table. The shrimp was decent, but the coleslaw was disappointing—more liquid than slaw. The chicken tenders were more expensive than our shrimp meals. Additionally, they added a mandatory 20% tip to our bill, and although we usually tip generously for good service, that wasn't the case this time. We were the only customers in the restaurant and still received inadequate service. There were six of us at the table, including two elderly guests. We will not be c...

If you like fried everything, this is the place for you. I’ll agree with many others that this place is overpriced. Side note, automatic gratuity is added to your bill before your payment is accepted. The baskets we had weren’t terrible, but the chicken poboy we had wasn’t good at all. We only came here because they weren’t busy on a Friday night…..which should have been our clue. And yes, water is bottled, no refills are free. It’s almost as if a few guys got together and said, “ we have some fryers and a building by the beach, let’s open a restaurant.’ There is obviously a reason you can’t find the menu on any webpage…. Oh, and the “Drunken” Shrimp has no liquor license and sells no liquor...
