First time eating here and it is really good! It’s impossible to find fried clam strips around here. They are a staple up north but difficult to find here so I was happy to find a place that had them! The clam strips were nice and crunchy, not soggy at all. The sides were good too. I got Mac and cheese and collards and both were great. Definitely would recommend. My only suggestion would be if they would make their own cocktail sauce. Fresh tastes so much better!

First thing: this is NOT a sit down restaurant. At all. They have a few picnic tables outside, that's it. If you want fancy, this isn't it. We went prepared based on other reviews here and it's worth it. This place is for to-go orders.-We brought our own crab leg crackers. They do not give you any because it's to-go.-We brought our own wet wipes to help clean up after, you get napkins, but anyone who has had crab legs should know that no paper napkin is enough.-We called a local brewery, "Low Tide Brewing" and asked if we could bring outside food. They said it was fine so we took our food there, got some amazing drinks and ate our massive amount of crabs for 2 hours.We got a garlic butter snow crab legs boil and a Cajun butter blue crab boil. While both butter options are great, I would recommend the Cajun butter over the garlic as it's the perfect level of some spicy without being too much. This was my first time having blue crab and it was an interesting experience lol.The amount of food you get on these boils is crazy. After 2 hours we still had food left and ended up not being able to finish all the potatoes. While the prices look the same as the touristy spots it's easily twice the amount of food and tastes so much better. I highly recommend planning out your trip to include this spot, especially if you co.ebouy to a a Johns Island to see the Angel Tree.

This place blew my expectations out the water. I thought it would be good but it was truly one of the most satisfying meals I've had. I got the grouper sandwich which they were super kind to make blackened for me instead of the usual fried. The menu price being 18 is 10000% worth it because this was the largest portion of fish I've ever been served at a restaurant. The bread wouldn't close around the fillets (plural on purpose) and I could barely get it in my mouth, yet I persevered. I don't think grouper would usually be a fish I pick, but my God was this maybe the most buttery, flaky, well seasoned fish I've had in memory. For my sides I got collards and Mac n cheese, two things I like many others am very particular about considering truly good or not. These both met the standards for me. The collards especially were a treat as they had hunks of pork throughout. And get the house made sauce!

Food was delicious and the staff super friendly.We had the shrimp tacos, fish sandwich, and sides of hush puppies and mac n cheese. Everything was fresh and amazing. We also really liked their home made creole sauce.Will definitely be going back anytime in the area.

This place is awesome! Probably one of the best boils I ate lately. Besides making fresh, tasty food they also sell fresh seafood and fish. We ordered the crab & fish boil in Cajun sauce which was AMAZING! The Cajun sauce was balanced in a perfect way. Fried Okra was the side we chose which was fabulous as well and our baby son are the friend fish which he LOVED and ate almost the whole thing.The Simply Seafood team was very welcoming and nice they explained to us about the menu and gave us several recommendations for our first visit.On a more personal note, this is a small family business, of two hard working parents. They give this seamless experience to their customers, but in addition they are raising two beautiful kids while doing all of that. During COVID-19 times I have nothing but pure admiration. Keep the great work guys and thank you again for all the yummy food, we promise to come back when we're in SC again.

Holy cow. If you are in the area, you MUST stop by Simply Seafood. We had the butter garlic lowcountry boil and it was SO good. The fried okra was also so tender and cripsy. This was one of our best meals on our SC trip. It was so lovely to sit outside under the trees.... so thankful to have found this spot. There might be a small wait since there are few staff but good things come to those who wait, right?

Honestly the best seafood I have ever had. Went there for the first time as I was in the area. Customer service was great and they recommended the garlic crab and shrimp boil with Cajun sauce (I told them I wanted some spice). If you like spice it was amazing. The seafood tasted fresh and I couldn’t have been more pleased. I immediately told everyone I knew in the area and will definitely be back in the future.

Visiting from out of town. Googled seafood places, went with this one, one that had the best reviews and pictures that were appealing. This place did not disappoint!!! It was delicious!!! Was a little hesitant due to seating inside but we just sat outside at a picnic table. Luckily it wasn’t too cold. Only down is that they did not offer crab crackers and had plastic forks. I’d definitely eat here again if we came back.

Love this place! You can buy seafood to prepare at home, or you can get some good old fashion southern home cooked seafood. I get the crab & shrimp boil. You can eat until you're about to bust off of $18. It's takeout only, but it's well worth the trip to Maybank Hwy. That pan of good food in pic is $16.99 and 1 average person will normally always have leftovers.

OMG!!! I'm so glad that we came across this hidden gem! Counter service, Fresh seafood, great prices and wonderful prompt service! Not only do they have a dine in (out door seating) take out but they offer a selection of fresh, raw seafood to take home with you as well. If and when I'm in the area again, I will surely being enjoying lunch/dinner there again.

Randomly stopped here on our way to the Tea Garden and it was SO GOOD. I wish we lived closer because I would definitely visit often. 10/10 would recommend. We had the shrimp boil with the garlic butter and it was plenty for two.

The catfish special was delicious and the red snapper was amazing. Customer service was excellent, we are for sure coming back. The owner gave us some sauce to try with the fish and he wasn’t wrong it made us want to go back for lunch the next day! If you want fresh seafood to take home to cook they have a large selection and reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

Very unassuming place. Great selection of fresh seafood.We were on John's Island, next door to Simply Seafood, attending a Little League game. Google Maps showed us this highly rated nearby location.They also offer a variety of freshly fried seafood and sides sold in ample portions. There is no inside seating but plenty of picnic tables under the trees outside.Interesting experience as we were leaving. A gentleman who was leaving, commented that he frequently drove by but had never stopped before. He dropped in to get grouper. He was surprised when asked if he wanted it cooked. He had not realized they cooked as well as sold fresh seafood. (He took them up on their offer.)Will definitely return when in the neighborhood.

absolutely delicious and fresh, the homemade sauce is perfectly blended with the garlic blue crab and shrimp. Additionally, the price is very reasonable.

Incredible. Got the fried okra, Mac and cheese, hush puppies, shrimp po boy, and the garlic seafood boil. If I had to choose a last meal this would easily be it.

I waited 10 minutes standing around before someone actually attempted to help me. Seafood was a bit skimpy for the portions, considering it's by the pound, but the price was right. Whiting and flounder cooked up fresh, and the muscles were tasty and fresh, the shrimp, not so much. Seems really hard to find fresh, non fishy tasting shrimp anywhere outside of Red Lobster. Lol (seriously)

Got the snow crab cluster and shrimp boil, nice portion to feed two people. Ate while we enjoyed beer at Low Tide Brewing.
