   Oysters excellent, grouper sandwich excellence, nicoise salad with tuna excellent, shrimp corn dogs great, shrimp and grits were a little bit too smokey and sausagey and I am not sure what kind of shrimp they used whether local or foreign... If local they would have been big and white.

   When you walk in and the hostess is in a stained white tee shirt and leggings there is immediately a problem. Calamari sticks as an appetizer comparable to chewing on rubber. Bacon on top had no place in the dish. Crab cake on risotto had a distinct charred taste, probably too close to the burgers in the kitchen. The kits from the grocery store are better than the Caesar salad. Disappointed in overall food considering the “5 star” rating online. Would not return. Charleston has superior restaurants and this one needs to go.

   The oysters and starters were very good but the entrees lost a step. Avoid the shrimp roll! It’s not what you would imagine it to be. Our hostess gave us a menu that apparently was for lunch and it was 5pm in the afternoon. When we were ready to order, our waitress told us we had the wrong menu and gave us their dinner menu so we had to regroup for our entree. Our waitress was friendly but the overall service was mediocre. It’s unfortunate because we were visiting from out of state and booked a reservation weeks before. As they say, been there done that. We will look at other restaurant options for our next time in Charleston.

    Food was ok, calamari was good. But the girl who greeted guests (Audry) had a sour look on her face, chewed gum and was not inviting in any way. She sat all guests like she was a (gum chewing) robot. This set a very bad start to our visit and likely the same for others. Her attitude could be easily changed with a word from management. All waitresses seemed to be friendly and respectful

    Our server was terrible. We were waiting a good 10-15 min to even get spoken to, then we barely even saw him. He did speak to the table next to us. The oysters were spectacular! I’m big on costumer service, and it just killed the whole Mood.

    We had an early dinner last night. Was seated relatively quickly but couldn’t get a water/waitress’s attention. Finally did. She was helpful but poor on follow through. Finally the soup came. Ordered she-crab. A Charleston favorite. At Amen it was terrible. Overly salty and crab was very light. Oh, forgot to add that it came quite cool. Lukewarm. By the time it was returned to the table my wife had finished her salad. Had scallop and grits. Large sea scallops were good. Grits weren’t. What was considered Andouilly sausage was in fact two dime size slices. We left, not bothering with dessert. Had it elsewhere. Across the street you’ll find a great Italian bakery/cafe. They had great cannoli cake!

    Food was great and a nice menu with interesting and tasty options. The hot sauce is awesome! Prices were good for Downtown. Average mark for service, but it may have just been our server because the others looked pretty on top of things.

    Good location. Nice ambience away from the the front of house. Service was uninspired. Entree (market fish) was interesting and well prepared. Starters were very average. All in all a nice spot but would probably try somewhere else first before returning.

    Second time in a matter of days to eat at Amen’s and going back was intentional. The food is exceptional and the service just as good. You can not go wrong. Try it.

    Nice restaurant and the food was very good, only the crab cakes arrived cold and could have used a little more time and care to get them right. They either sat waiting for the rest of the food and got cold or just were not cooked long enough to properly warm them up. They are a seafood restaurant with a excellent selection of fresh fish, shrimp, oysters, etc., but you can't simply order fish n chips. That seems incredibly bizarre to me that you can have this great selection of fresh fish but dont have something as simple and delicious as a great plate of fish n chips. Nice ambience, service was ok, shrimp corn dogs were fantastic and the shrimp platter as well as the creamed corn were all very, very good.

    Fresh local oysters were very good. The cheeseburger was a lot better than the Nicoise salad with local fish (wreck fish). Salad did not have the traditional haricot verte and the fish was dry.

    We went for lunch on Mother’s Day. The food was delicious! We split the calamari steak appetizer, a Caesar salad, and the mussels. I also tried my first oyster! Everything was great and I can now say I like oysters. The service was wonderful as well.

    It turned out that the four of us were not very hungry for dinner after having a large lunch, so we got a couple of dozen oysters and three of us got salads. The fourth person got the shrimp roll. And, of course, cocktails. Everything was delicious, service was very good.

    When I walk in a restaurant that smells like Old Bay is being used, I am home. Had some delicious shrimp and salmon and the pecan pie was divine. Will def come back when we return to Charleston.

    We are in Charleston at least once a year and eat at Amen twice each time. The shrimp dogs and calamari are incredible. Sometimes we make a meal out of appetizers. Our server was very knowledgeable and fun.

    Fabulous dinner at Amen Seafood and Raw Oyster Bar! We had fried green tomatoes, calamari steaks, raw oysters on the half shell, she crab soup, I had the sea scallops over grits and and my wife LuLu had the blackened mahi-mahi! For dessert we shared a Key Lime pie! All were fabulous! Good fresh southern cooking!

    Went for lunch. Supposed to open at 11:30, but made us wait outside until 11:50. Host was rude. Food was Ok, but not great. Disappointing visit. Was there for dinner last year, and was very enjoyable. Hope it is a one time thing.
