Diner Reviews
  • "We felt rushed. Served food too quickly. Felt nearly all staff quite disinterested and only somewhat friendly. Used to always come here when we visit charleston but may skip eating here next time."

  • "Great first time experience. Definitely be back when I'm in town again."

  • "It couldn't have gone better. Food was great, the pie they brought out for my friends 30th was amazing. Timing was perfect. Waiter was funny. The weather couldn't have been better, and they had set us right near the windows.... This is my new favorite restaurant!!"

  • "This has been our second visit to Fleet Landing. Wonderful food and a very helpful waitress. If you've never been there please give it a try. My family all had seafood and had nothing but good things to say about it. I had the burger which was also very good."

  • "Having lived in Charleston for many years, I know Fleet Landing well. The location of the restaurant is gorgeous, being right on the water. the bar is always very busy. But,I have never had a great experience with the food. The chilled oysters were not cleaned and very gritty, the tuna & salmon tartare not very good, the flank steak salad was decent, but nothing to write home about, the chocolate pie was alright...my husband did enjoy his seafood pasta,but all in all, it is not the place I recommend for seafood in Charleston. It doesn't appear most of their fish and other seafood is ever fresh or locally bought. So, great for martinis at happy hour, not great if you want a delicious dinner! Our server, Morgan, was excellent, tho!"

  • "Our visit to Charleston would not have been complete without trying the signature dish of the area Shrimp and Grits. It was wonderful. The grits were creamy and the shrimp was tender and succulent with just the right amount of spicy gravy and sausage. The service was great and everyone enjoyed everything from the appetizer of stuffed hush puppies, the She crab soup, and the pasta with seafood. Do not miss this restaurant, you will not be disappointed. PS the prices are more than fair."

  • "We went here on a Tuesday night and it was very crowded. The food was delicious and the drinks were good as well. This is a friendly place where you can get good food and drinks and be casual. It has a great view right on the water and is probably impossible to get a table in warmer weather. Lots of outdoor seating and even had heaters! Nice views and nice place. The parking leaves a lot to be desired, but don't let it keep you away."

  • "Great location. Good atmosphere. Portions are shrinking though. Flounder looked like a goldfish."

  • "GREAT view and OUTSTANDING food and service! Had our boys with us (3 and 5) and it was great! Kids loved it and we were able to enjoy a nice brunch as if we were on a "date"! We arrived early from dropping off the grandparents on their cruise and they sat us without a wait!"

  • "Fleet Landing is a large restaurant right on the harbor, with great views and an outdoor dining area. It was very busy on a Monday night, and it is pretty loud. Inside was clean and attractive, and the servers move quickly. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The food was very good, moderate to expensive. We ordered the local dishes of she crab soup, fried green tomatoes, and shrimp with key lime vinaigrette. The server made good recommendations when we asked for a suggestions for cocktails and dessert. We would go again."

  • "Good place for good food. Interesting combinations. Had the stuffed hush puppies that were good. Nothing bad to say about the place."

  • "Annoying to sit by the door with it continuously opening and closing, however service and food were excellent as always."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "The food experience was delightful. She Crab Soup was outstanding and the Flounder with Apricot Glaze only made you want more."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Enjoyed our date night on the waterfront in downtown Charleston. The food was very good and the view spectacular with dolphins putting on a show in the harbor."
    Dined on 2/21/2014
  • "I take out of town guests to Fleet Landing. The view is outstanding and the food good and reasonably priced. There is a parking lot on the premises if you are lucky enough to get a spot and a parking garage just down the block. If a cruise ship is in town you'll have a front row view, which can be fun. Go on a day when you can sit outside, especially on the south end. If the restaurant is full (and it often is) there may be seats at the bar and you can order your dinner there or just have drinks and appetizers. Or better yet, make reservations."

  • "Fleet Landing is one of our favorite restaurants in Charleston. A must stop whenever we are in town. The seafood is fresh and flavorfully prepared. Service is always excellent and the view of the harbor is charming. Our favorites are the She Crab Soup (lots of fresh crab) and the Crab Cakes or the grilled Scallops. Reservations are recommended if dining in the evening. Enjoy!"

  • "Everything went perfectly for a night out with visiting family. The stuffed hush puppies with lobster and rock shrimp were amazing."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "We reserved a table in advance in order to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. We were greeted upon our arrival and immediately shown what we considered the best table in the house - near the door leading to the deck, with a panoramic view of the harbor, the Cooper river, the Ravenel bridge and Fort Sumter. Our server, Morgan, was spectacular! She was warm, friendly, and genuine. She filled our order correctly, and managed to be attentive but not intrusive during our meal, and provided us with complementary champagne in celebration of our special occasion. The food was plentiful, full of flavor, and prepared to our specification. The restaurant's perfect location is within walking distance of the Market and Meeting Street."

  • "My family was visiting. We wanted to show them Charleston Harbor and nearby parks & open market. Good location and great views! The staff gave us a table with a nice view of the harbor and the service was great. Menu offered food for both adults and teenagers. Everyone enjoyed our lunch!"
    Dined on 6/13/2013
  • "We ordered oysters to start, and triggerfish and seafood pasta for our mains. All food was wonderful, and at very reasonable prices for downtown Charleston. Had a very nice Rioja for under $30 as well. Will definitely add Fleet Landing to our list of favorite Charleston eateries."
    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "The hubby and I were in town and excited about visiting hot restaurants in the city. We had a reservation for Fleet Landings and arrived on time only to be told we would have to wait (even with a prior reservation.) After asking 20 minutes later about the wait, we were finally seated. Our waitress lacked a personality and really functioned like a robot (just going through the motions.). The food was so-so certainly nothing to brag about. The experience could have been better but we left not interested in returning."

  • "Love the She Crab Soup with the Sherry! Great Shrimp and Grits. The daily specials are always good. Good oysters too! When it is warm enough sit outside and enjoy Charleston Harbor!"

    Dined on 2/7/2014
  • "I took my Wife out to Fleet Landing and found it outstanding! We were seated with a great view of the water, and swift service once we sat down. The stuffed hushpuppies were tremendous, and the crab cake was excellent. The food came so quickly that we didn't have time to get stuffed on the very tasty rolls and honey butter. She had the fried shrimp and I ordered the triggerfish. Both were very good. We'll certainly comeback here next trip!"

  • "Fleet landing has become my Charleston favorite. The food is great and watching dolphin from the table is an added bonus!"

  • "Hate to give away the best kept secret in Charleston. But, you must go!! The view is amazing. With little choices for eating on the water, this is the place!! From the outside it looks like nothing. So, surprising when inside. The menu is great and food outstanding!! Going again in March!!"
    Dined on 1/12/2014
  • "This is not only our go to spot for special occasions but whenever we have company in town. Everyone was more than impressed with the food and service. Thanks again and I'm sure we'll see you soon!"

  • "The restaurant was a great accidental find. I had to change reservations at the last minute and found this place. Normally this is difficult because whatever restaurant I choose has to be able to accommodate someone with Celiac disease but Fleet Landing was perfect, they had quite a selection and it was all very good."
    Dined on 1/31/2014
  • "We made a reservation with a special request for a window seat. We were seated immediately upon arrival due to our reservation and Fleet Landing honored our special request to sit by a window. We had a beautiful view!! The service was fantastic and the food was wonderful!! Can't wait to go again!!"
    Dined on 1/25/2014
  • "We didn't "discover" Fleet Landing until a local friend introduced us last year. Right on the water, great ambience, open and breezy. If you think ahead, call ahead or make a reservation using OpenTable! Recommend early lunch/dinner time, to avoid the crowds (who don't have a reservation...). Easy walk from the Market area. Food is always very good, with some original dishes. It is Charleston, and seafood is great there, but don't be afraid to try one of the non-seafood dishes, even a sandwich. You won't leave hungry, nor will you be disappointed in the great service. If you've got time in the warm weather, hang out at the bar out on the deck side, and enjoy the scenery."
    Dined on 1/25/2014
  • "Even though we had to wait longer than our reservation was for, it was worth it! Great food! Fried flounder is the best!!"
    Dined on 1/24/2014
  • "This was a nice place to meet friends for a lovely, yummy dinner. I am certain that in warmer weather the outside tables would be a perfect place to enjoy the views of the river. A good value, good food and friendly servers. I had the seafood pasta that was chock full of mussels, shrimp and scallops in a very nicely spiced alfredo sauce. The low country boil looked very appetizing as was the shrimp and grits."
    Dined on 1/22/2014
  • "After our rental car agent suggested Fleet, I breathed a sigh of relief; I had already made reservations! So, then we were really excited to try Fleet. It did not disappoint. The food was great. I had the Blue Plate Luncheon special. WOW, what a bargain and fresh vegetables were fab. The rest of our party had the fried oysters...they were begging for more. The portions you typically get of fried oysters elsewhere are much larger than the quantity you get here. Since they are so delicious it leaves you wanting MORE! It was great...will definitely return and highly recommend."

  • "Food was not near as good and fresh tasting as past visits. Server was arrogant."
