Nestled on a quiet corner in Charleston, Dave's Carry-Out dishes out legendary fried seafood and soul food classics with a side of Southern charm, perfect for takeout.
"Dave’s Carry-Out has somewhat unpredictable hours, but if visitors can find the Morris Street dining room open, then they are in for some of the best fried fish around. Most people take their food to go, but there’s a few tables scattered about and a television on, so folks like to hang out and discuss the day. The popular seafood platter allows diners to sample fried shrimp, scallops, fish, and a deviled crab." - Erin Perkins
"The little corner fish shack is a laid-back stop off the hectic hustle of King Street; as its name implies, the kitchen is very adept at the carryout game. For years, this corner shop has consistently served up big plates of crisp, golden-fried fresh catch and fixin’s. Those in the know pair the buttery flounder with a side of creamy lima beans and rice." - Erin Perkins
"Most folks know about the fried shrimp, fish, and pork chop at Dave's Carry Out, but those who look under the sandwich section of the menu will notice the chicken wings. These giant, fried wings come in orders of four, but that's all you'll probably need. The skins stay crunchy, and the wings stay hot, as they are freshly fried as you wait in the dining room where everyone seemingly knows everyone who walks in the door." - Erin Perkins
"Famous for its fried shrimp, this spot offers classic Southern seafood in a casual setting." - Erin Perkins
"Stop by Southern soul spot Dave's Carry Out for Charleston icon devil crabs. Emptied crab shells are stuffed with a combination of picked crab meat, breading, and other secret spices. And it's only $3." - Erin Perkins
