8 Essential Restaurants in Summerville

"Alicia’s on Central Avenue serves big portions of Southern-style dishes, and it might be the only place in the Lowcountry where patrons can order a full slab of ribs, shrimp and grits, and oxtails at the same location. If you go for lunch, try the smoked chicken plate. For dinner, try the turkey wings. The restaurant also delivers via Uber Eats or find the eatery’s amazing food truck." - KJ Kearney

GREAT FOOD! Gotta love the atmosphere! May be a bit on busy side but Josh and our other server did not let you down! Grouper bites are a must!

My mom and I visited here for the first time this past Sunday. Atmosphere was fun and inviting. DEBBIE our server was out of this world AMAZING! She was super friendly, helpful and an absolute delight! She made my mom and I feel like family and very welcomed! The food is THE BEST seafood I have ever ate in my life!! Not over cooked or over seasoned. Delicious and plentiful! I normally have never like scallops bc they can be gritty tasting if not cleaned and prepared right, BUT these scallops were clean, creamy, tender, no grit and made me a lover of Scallops!!! We will definitely be back again. Thank You for the unique and delightful experience!!

I purposely went during off peak times. This place is the home made type of place that doesn't exist anymore (and never will again, unfortunately). Wouldn't come during any evening because of the infamous wait. Yall need to keep in mind that this place is super small. Had the hush puppies which were yummy, of course. There are 2 different sizes to order and I told the server to surpise me. Yummy! Was so full after..(Yall also need to keep in mind that everyone makes em differently). Would visit again, but only during off peak hours.

Food and service was quite perfect. Enjoyed my birthday here and I can't wait for the next opportunity to come back and enjoy some more good seafood. Try the grouper bites!

We just discovered Lowcountry Fish Camp over the weekend and everything we had there was amazing! There was a bit of a wait to be seated but it was completely worth it.

The food was of a good quality and prepared in a fashionable time frame. It was also seasoned well. The service was great. The waitress was kind and accommodating. The choice to sit outside or inside is a plus . The music wasn't too loud. All around pleasant place to eat.

This was a delightful stop on my one day trip out to South Carolina and back. I needed a place to conduct my daily live session on social media. I didn't want to disappoint my online community. I felt like I had gone to the village that I had grown up in! Many of the restaurants in my childhood were like this: Welcoming and comfortable, with friendly people. The food was delicious! I had cheese and grits, fried grouper and collard greens with ham bits. It was so good that I forgot to take a picture!

Low Country Fish Camp is aptly named - it's very casual. But don't be fooled, the food is fresh and superlative. This is my go-to when I want an excellent meal. I ordered their Grouper Bites and She Crab and Corn Chowder, and both were top notch. The Bites had a delicate, crispy breading and solid chunks of fresh grouper - just heavenly. I should've gotten a larger bowl of soup as my dinner mates couldn't resist taking more than the offered taste, and I couldn't blame them. Everything else on the platter was also remarkable. The hush puppies were hot and crispy, with a soft center that wasn't too sweet. I haven't had better. The cole slaw was just the way I like it - fresh, not heavy with mayonnaise, and not sweet. It was a nice crunchy addition. Even the fries were a cut above; they were crunchy with soft insides and piping hot. Our waitress was a stitch, and made our dinner delightful. She was attentive without hovering, and personable without trying to be our best friend. Just like the meal - perfect!

Food: 4.0 fish and shrimp are excellent!! The Cole slaw is bland and fries have a lot of batter but taste good. Service: 5 Ambiance: 4.5 very cool casual vibe. Brilliant the way they did the outdoor seating. I wish I could give 4.75 stars but Yelp only allow me to pick whole numbers. I definitely recommend this place for anyone who hasn't tried it and is hankering for fresh seafood. The flounder was perfectly battered, seasoned, and cooked. The fresh shrimp were delicious. The hush puppies are the best (no onions or peppers), crispy outside and moist inside.

Wife had a salad and I got the flounder with sides. Flounder was blackened and cooked perfectly. Hush puppies were amazing, could have eaten my weight in them. Staff was friendly. Inside was pretty small but big patio area if the weather is nice out.

The duck legs were delicious and the El Diablo cocktail, but beyond that I was so disappointed. This place is raved about and I finally gave it a chance but the collards were so bland, the Mac and cheese was mediocre, and the pie needs more work. However, the staff was absolutely amazing and kind so they get all 5 stars.

This has become my aunts favorite place to get seafood and I love that we don't have to drive to Charleston to get it. We are always seated immediately and drink orders are taken. The waitresses are always polite and approachable. We got in around noon and the crowd began to follow. Today is Saturday so we expected it to be busy. I'd say we waited around 15-20 for our food but it was fresh and hot! The catfish is delicious and I really enjoy their cole slaw. It's mayo based and nothing fancy. Just good Ole slaw. I love the patio they offer because the weather was perfect today. Highly highly recommend! Plus they had a gator platter special today if you are looking for gator in Summerville!

Parking: There are two areas to park. The closest being for those with any form of disability. And another some feet away for general parking. Service: The service was very good. With this being our first time here, the servers were patient with us and answered every question that we had. They also gave their recommendations on what they like which I appreciate. Food: Food was outstanding! My family and I tried a little bit of everything. I tried to take photos of everything but sadly that can attest to how good it was. The buffalo shrimp was good, Camp rolls amazing, and so was the grouper bites! The Hushpuppies were also delicious. Main dish I ordered was the shrimp and grits which was cooked to perfection in my opinion. There was an option to add scallions and I had to choke to have them blackened which was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. That was the best scallions I've ever had! The dessert options was overwhelming because I wanted to try everything, but I resorted to the bourbon chocolate pecan pie which was very flavorful! Ambiance: Ambiance was great. We had a seat outside in the shade where the weather was perfect with sweet tea in hand. Another thing I'd like to point out is how clean the bathroom was which I feel a lot of places need to add attention to. Though it was warm outside the bathroom was clean, cold, and smelled amazing. Opportunities: We tried the greens as a side and we weren't a fan of them. That, in my opinion won't deduct any points from me since everyone does theirs differently and I'm sure someone will like it. Overall: We went there for a celebration and I'm glad that we did. The food, customer service, and the staff were amazing. I can't wait to make my return there for the camp rolls, scallions, or possibly something new! Also if the staff needs any photos for yelp please don't hesitate to ask!

With all the great reviews, and being close to our home, this was a must try. The ambiance is definitely low key. It does indeed look like a camp building, with wooden benches and open structure. Feel free to go here in your jeans and T-shirt. Wait staff was top notch from top to bottom. We were attended to immediately and drinks and food came very quickly. We ordered off the Happy Hour drink menu and had the apple cider sangria (a Fall Season item). Very apple forward and delicious. Served in mason jars of course. I had the Fisherman's platter, which includes a bit of everything. The flounder was a tiny bit dry, but flakey and nicely cooked. The fried shrimp were some of the best I've had. The fried scallops were wonderfully tender. The coating on these was not crispy, but that's likely to be a limitation of trying to fry scallops. The fried oysters were large, tender and great tasting. The coleslaw was delicately seasoned and with just the right amount of dressing. Old Bay French fries were a treat. Not so much seasoning as to take away from the potato taste. Quantities were large and generous. I didn't make it to desert, which sounded great. Next time. Parking is "interesting," but was ample for the crowd at the time we dropped in. It "ain't" fancy, but if you are craving good fried sea food, it's the place to go.

Went again tonight. Same friends from out if town, same table, different waitress. This time I tried the catfish. It wasn't as good as the flounder but it was still great. The Service was excellent this time. No rain in the forecast and it was a very nice night to sit outside. Overall, very good experience which is why I upgraded to 5 stars. Oh and we tried the Gator Bites. Everyone else loved them. I'm not a fan of the texture.

Fried shrimp is always DELICIOUS, meaty, not fishy, and well seasoned....Until recently when fish camp seems to have buckled to pressure from the local shrimpers to buy local. While I support local business, our local shrimp is NOT tasty as others that are wild caught. I hope Fish Camp doesn't change to local shrimp; however, I feel they may have due to recent press. My first bad experience there with nasty shrimp was last week. I spit out every piece I tried to eat. Please keep up what you were doing. Don't succumb under pressure. Get food shrimp wherever you can. Local isn't always it.

Went here on a Saturday night and we were seated right away. There is so much seating here. We opted to sit outside since it was nice out and not too muggy. I ordered a Dark & Stormy for my drink and it was refreshing! For food I got the fried chicken basket with fried okra and hushpuppies. There was so much fried chicken I could not finish it! The hushpuppies were amazing and the fried okra was cut thinly just like I like it! My bf got the fish platter with the fries and the rice. The rice was delicious and he was pleasantly pleased with his meal! We heard that they make their own desserts so we had to make room for some bourbon pecan pie! Yum-my!! I definitely will be back!

The food and drinks were amazing. My servers have always been super friendly had they have knowledge of the menu, and recommend different items. I've been seated outside all times I've been since the weather has always been nice. Great atmosphere.

This is a quaint, rustic spot that reminds you of your low country grandmas house. The food is what you would expect from a Southern seafood kitchen but elevated a notch or two! The fresh fish was delicious, not greasy at all. The service was southern friendly and reasonably fast. If you're near Summerville, give it a try for sure.

So glad we finally made it here. Heard a lot of great things about this place. Did not disappoint. The grouper bites are to die for.

Food is a little pricey but good. Please know that they do charge a $10 cake fee if you want to celebrate an event.

Love, love, love this place!! A hidden gem!! I'm calling DDD because this place is awesome! I order the Grouper & Greens special, I wouldn't change a thing & i tried but the chef said no substitutions. I'm glad they did because this was the perfect dish AS IS!! The mudslide desert was to die for!! Vanilla & Coffee ice cream With a brownie & caramel & fudge sauce!! Absolutely delicious!

We were there on a Wednesday, June 11. Sat inside. It was a small place but quaint. The service was very nice. The food was very good. We read all the reviews and was kind of worried about the sides. I had seared shrimp, hush puppies, coleslaw, and collards. He had seared shrimp, hush puppies coleslaw, and fries. Everything was spot on , the collards were some of the best I've ever had. Then we heard they had crabcakes. We only ordered one crabcake thank God we did. They were huge and we split it and it was so delicious. Will definitely be going back. I can't imagine the place being full of people because it wasn't very big so if you're planning on going on a Friday or Saturday night, I imagine it's quite busy but on a Wednesday not so bad. Such a good place. I'm glad we found it.! we spent about $100 each having a drink, but we were so full when we left. The food was unbelievable. You get a great amount of food so for our value it was exceptional.!

I was in town for a work meeting and decided to find somewhere in town to stop before departing. Upon arrival, I pulled into the gravel parking lot, thinking this was either going to be really good or a waste of my time. It looks like someone crafty and skilled built the building, so again, it's going to be really good or a waste of my time. There are heaters if you're seated in the outside tented area, which I greatly appreciated. My server was amazing, and I wish I remembered her name so I could give her some props. She was truly awesome.   I ordered the blackberry margarita, and it was really good. I enjoyed it and wanted another one, but I knew I had to drive home. The flounder is a really good size. The shrimp are well-sized, too. They were both really tasty. I'm talking didn't need hot sauce delicious, but I did ask for remoulade because, overall, I'm a sauce person. The fries are like those seasoned fries. They were good. The hush puppies were good too.   I enjoyed my entire meal from start to finish to the point where I wanted to snap my fingers, have my couch, and take a "that was so good" nap. I'll be stopping when I'm in the area again.

Catfish was fresh, hot, flavorful. Huge fillet as well. The halibut bites were also hot and fresh. Fried pickles were excellent, buffalo shrimp were fantastic. Mac n cheese was cooked perfectly and had good quality cheese. Okra and hush puppies were also very good. Food came out quickly, workers were very friendly and attentive. Fair prices considering the quality of food and service. Inside, outside, and bathrooms were all super clean.

It a great place ! Highly abusive! Waitress are more concerned about the tip ! Food is not what it was ! I actually had a waitress yell at me in front of others because she thought I cheated her on a time ! It turned out she got more!

I never thought I would describe grouper bites as amazing but that is exactly what they are - amazing! And they serve them with a jalapeño tartar sauce that is over the top. Highly recommend this place, great atmosphere friendly local vibe, and good service.

The ambiance is as the name implies, it feels like a campsite. We ate indoors near the bar area. The blackened scallop po boy was surprisingly good as was the fries. The blackened flounder was meh. The service was good and I would try the oyster po boy if there's a next time. We are not local so that's unlikely.

What a fun gem of a restaurant! Great food, great service and fun atmosphere! I highly recommend the fishermen platter! Big enough to split (which my mom and I did) or take some for leftovers! The batter was so light and didn't over power the fish.. But that espresso martini However I saved the beer for last.. that maple bourbon pecan pie.. oh my gawd!! If you don't get it you honestly are missing out!! Can't wait to come back on my next visit!

A very unique and warm dinning atmosphere. The service is on point and your food is beyond on time. I ordered the seafood platter, and it was so delicious and the serving was plentiful. And do try the buffalo shrimp. Every waiter and waitress was so nice and smiled. I will be going back. This is another must try. I promise you will go back again.

The food is excellent! If you want fresh caught seafood, this is the place to go! Better than many downtown Charleston & Shem Creek restaurants! Prepared Seared, Fried or Blackened! The seating is on a screened porch with plenty of fans blowing. The staff is kind and the food came out in a timely manner. I will return here often for my seafood fix!

They have some of the freshest oysters I have ever had. The camp rolls are a great buy as well. I've never had a chance to eat in but hope to one day. They don't always have the same desserts but I had a vanilla bean cheesecake with raspberry one day that has me checking back all the time hoping to score it again

We are new to the area, but have been twice already. We've tried a few things on the menu, from salads to fried fish platters, and have enjoyed them all. The outdoor seating w rustic appeal and homemade desserts make it a great place for dinner.

I've been craving red beans and rice and wow! Low country fish camp over delivered! The flavor was incredible, mouth watering and writing about it makes me crave it all again! The fried flounder and shrimp were fried to perfection, not overly done and tasted superb. The hush puppies and slaw And even though we ate outside for lunch on one of the hottest days of the year, the many uses of fans made the environment comfortable. We definitely want to go back anytime we are near the area.

I had the flounder blackened, and my boyfriend had the shrimp. Both were excellent. We also added oysters. They were ok. Coleslaw was perfect. We ordered it to go but I'm sure that it would have been even better if we had eaten it there. The young lady who took our order was exceptionally nice and helpful. Great customer service.

I had high hopes for this cute little place, but the overall experience wasn't as great as I expected. The server seemed extremely bothered anytime we had a question about something, or even when we requested split checks (party of 5 wanting 4 checks - which is apparently a large party there? I thought 6+ was usually "large party") The fried pickles were great! The ahi tuna nachos were pretty good. But my entree of the blackened catfish was so disappointing. It looked blackened - yes. It was extremely bland. Like almost no flavor except fish. The same for my boyfriend's "blackened" shrimp. No flavor - just shrimp.

I have been in the Summerville area for a few months and have been very disappointed with the quality of the food, portion size and price for what you get. I got a shrimp po boy sandwich with a did of mac and cheese. The only thing I would change is the the bread be toasted. They give you a decent amount of shrimp, mixed greens and tomato's. The bread is very fresh and soft and also came with seasoned fries. My cousin got crab and potato soup was seasoned very well with a great taste and the cup was really half a bowl! She got the fried catfish and coleslaw which was great as well. Staff are on point and very punctual with refills and anything you need at the table. This is one of the rare and few places to eat in Summerville!

I have to say the food was incredible, it always is! The service, however, was awful!! Let me start by saying my mother went there for dinner with a coworker. They are both college professors. I state her title because they are both educated women but elderly. She said the food and service were excellent, so we went together on 8/16. We were seated and came to hear about the specials. The waitress who was older herself was so rude!. The waitress mentioned that gator bites were special, my mom proceeded to ask if it was 'real gator." Being from up north, it was a joke. Instead of just saying yes, the waitress said, in a nasty tone, " I wasn't aware of of fake gator." She ignored my mother the whole time and referred all her questions to me. My mother also ordered an isle of palmer, and the waitress said off the bat..."There are no refills with that." She NEVER asked my mom if perhaps she wanted some water after her drink was done....My guess was either my mother was on the darker side, and she didn't want to service her, or she was frustrated with the fact that my mother spoke slower and totally proper. I am good with the fish camp, never again.

Great sea food! Best when it's warm enough to sit outdoors picnic style. Love the grouper bites with jalapeño tarter sauce and hush puppies! Wait staff is very friendly.
