"Locals like to debate whether Shem Creek dive Wreck of the Richard & Charlene is too touristy or just the right amount of out-of-towners. Nestled on the water, the dining room is not much more than a screen porch and some plastic furniture. It’s no frills, so stop by after a trip to the beach for some boiled peanuts, a cold beer, and fried shrimp." - Erin Perkins
"The Wreck of the Richard & Charlene is a dive of a restaurant on Shem Creek. Customers sit on mismatched patio furniture on the expansive porch overlooking the water as they dine on fried shrimp, red rice, hush puppies, and deviled crabs." - Erin Perkins
"An out-of-town waterfront restaurant on Shem Creek that serves boiled peanuts as an appetizer, reflecting regional snack traditions outside the city center." - Stratton Lawrence
"This Shem Creek destination may be on the touristy side, but the Charleston Harbor views and consistent seafood offering make it worth a stop. All seafood is fried using peanut oil creating the perfectly crunchy bite. Order the shrimp alone or in a combination platter with oysters and scallops." - Parker Milner
