The restaurant seems promising, but the driveway and parking situation are quite concerning for my car. If you could improve the driveway, I might consider giving you my business.
Jerry
Unique, authentic down-home, seafood restaurant with a great view of the sunset. We had a tray of steamed oysters that were fun to shuck on the deck. The no-see-ums were out, so be forewarned.

Have the people leaving 5-star reviews never been to any other restaurant on earth? $30 for a tiny piece of fried fish and cold fries on a paper plate? Counter service that lets you stand there for 20 minutes before taking your order? This place is not good at all. View menu

It’s quite an experience! Shucking your own delicious steamed oysters is a fun touch. The other seafood dishes are fantastic as well. Pairing it all with a cold beer while taking in the beautiful view of the water and feeling the refreshing breeze makes for a perfect outing. Enjoy!

We have a condo on Folly and have eaten here for years. Food quality and quantity have been going down the last few years. It's finally hit bottom. Food quality is horrible. Thin cuts of fish, small shrimp, overcooked hush puppies, stale chips, etc. I think Captain D's has higher quality food. The old paper platters are now 8 inch round plates. At the same time, prices have increased crazy like the $36 seafood platter we had. At that price, you expect more than counter service and paper plates … – show
