Marshside Mama's Cafe

Drinks were strong but curiously bad service from them. We were told when we arrived for lunch (albeit at around 3pm) that their kitchen was closed, so we ordered drinks and unpacked a simple lunch from our boats. However, while eating, other parties arrived (not just a single person or group but several different groups) and were treated as far differently. Smiles all round and menus brought out. Hot food ordered and delivered. Maybe it was because we weren't locals? Surely our group (maybe 16 people) were too much to handle? We heard they were closing at the end of the year, but couldn't confirm it. Their drinks were good, they had a decent playground for the kids. Insects everywhere though, and definitely the biting kind!

Went with my family on a vacation to Dafuskie Island and the golf cart rental company recommended this place to us since we were right around the corner. Took thirty minutes or more to see the menu then took another hour and a half for the food. The best part about the restaurant was the band!! The prices are expensive (can soda $3), the service is poor and slow and the food is blah. Did I mention stray dogs who look like they have not had shots ever in life come in and out of the restaurant. Do not set your self up for disappointment, run to the other end and visit other places!! *Gave them 1 star because I had to!!!*

Waited 1 hour and 15 minutes for a take out order. Spoke with them a couple of times and the waitress kept telling us it's almost ready. No interest from the management so this must be common for them. Place not that crowded. Sweltering heat inside, they have a lot of fans, but many not working. Could be a nice place because of location and the facility is fun, but obvious the management is bored and just does not care. I really don't think there is even a manager on the premises. The beer was cold, so that's a good thing.

Best date night with my 5 wonderful friends ever!! Beth is a outstanding chief and her staff are awesome! The food is incredible, always fresh and delicious. The band was off the chain talented!!! Highly recommend eating and experiencing Marshsides!

The food is amazing!! However the is only one cook, thus the service is long. We had to wait an hour for our food but was worth it. It looks like a shack, which it is and is a dive bar. They don't have anything on tap, everything comes in a bottle including water. It is a great place to sit outside on pinic tables and enjoy good food. Also the menu changes everyday so they only have one menu that makes its way around the tables. The service may be long, but it's worth it!!

This is probably the best place on the island. The friendliest dogs walking around may be disconcerting to some but I find it charming and just the right feeling. Not a large beer selection but the bar is well stocked and they can take care of most requests.

Wonderful place and huge portions. The food was amazing and you get a lot. I had the steak and it was one of the best steaks I have ever had. This place has tons of charm and character. Great place to get drinks and sit outside also. Very friendly staff. I recommend this place to everyone.

The demand has outgrown production. The wait is a bit long on the weekend. This is due to the more than decent atmosphere for the island. Food is cooked and prepared to order by a single chef. It is served hot, and this eatery sits off the beach as has both inside and outside seating. It is a 3 and not higher because of the appearance of disfunction relating to the ordering process. There is a single menu that is written on a white board and passed around from table to table. Try it if you are ever on the island and rate it for yourself....."GOOD LUCK"
