Terrible food!! We live here, have been numerous times over the years. Many years ago the food was wonderful; however, very inconsistent now and last night was the worst! The wedge salad was watery, the dressing tasted sweet, ugh! Also, the collards they rave about also had Sugar… definitely Not how they should taste. The Gouda Mac and cheese was flavorless and didn’t even taste of cheese. The fried oysters had so many shell pieces in them… The cream brûlée tasted pretty good, not the best by any means, but the portion was so small. When I sent the collards back I got asparagus ( $2 upcharge) but they had no flavor, I mean I believe they were frozen and simply thawed out. Seriously had no hint of seasoning. They have struck out with us. There are too many other restaurants here that are phenomenal! They are riding on the memory of days gone by…

We absolutely do not want cold product coming out of our kitchen unless if it is a grilled or pan seared menu item. Please let us know in the future if a issue like this occurs so we can assist you immediately and rectify the problem so that you may better enjoy your dining experience

Busy busy restaurant @ 7:15 pm on a Friday night on Sullivan’s Island- glad we had reservations! Also very noisy but that’s because it was packed. We were seated inside, but the deck at water level looked amazing. Our waiter was great, and made it enjoyable, as we took a while to decide on drinks, wine, apps & entrees. Our party enjoyed Mahi mahi blackened, grits and coleslaw, swordfish, shrimp n grits and sea food trio. Wine was well priced, app of fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese yummy. All in all, solid for dinner.

Food was excellent. Classic coastal cuisine done right. View from the porch (request porch seating) is spectacular - particularly at sunset. Shrimp and grit was done well, excellent collard green, pan seared shrimp, key lime pie - all worth the wait. Parking is a challenge but doable. Walked the bridge to Sullivan’s as the sunset which was divine.

Mother’s Day dinner. We had reservations for nearly a week prior. When we arrived we were seated at a table directly beneath a stair set. Took almost 20 min before waitress appeared and we received apps late and 10 min prior to any drinks. We have eaten at Boathouse for 25 years and have never been more disappointed. Doubtful we will return

The food was good, but most of our meals were not hot, warm at best. The oysters were good tasting, but extremely small for $36 per dozen. The calamari appeared to be frozen and again not hot. Overall a disappointment and we will not be going back any time soon.

We enjoyed our Mother’s Day dinner at the Boathouse this passed Sunday. The lettuce wedge salad was loved by 2 of our party. The grandchildren wanted their own when they tasted it so we ordered another for the kids. They enjoyed the kids shrimp meal. The adults enjoyed the salmon and mixed fish option. Our family really did miss the rolls that had previously been served with meals here.

Highly average at best! Both wife and I got the East Coast Shrimp platters (her's grilled and mine pan-seared), and were not impressed. To describe my shrimp as "pan seared" is false advertisement as they were lukewarm w/ no sear whatsoever, but her grilled shrimp were "okay" - be warned that the the Blue Cheese coleslaw is very blue cheesy so you better be a fan! The collard greens were some of the best I've ever had anywhere, and her succotash was very good. They sat us a the smallest 2-person table I've ever seen, which was an issue since I'm 6'4" - if I could attach the pictures we took you'd see the problem - they have packed as many people as possible in the inside seating so the ambience is that of a crowded diner - most disappointing dining experience we've had in Charleston in a very long time - maybe different dishes would have improved, but the seating is definitely a problem!

Not a fantastic experience, like we expected. In all fairness, it was Mother's Day, so a bit busy. Looking forward to oysters..not available. Brunch menu limited because we had hoped for full entrees. Only 3 choices which included fried seafood, which I can't eat. Service was okay. We ordered 2 appetizers and only received one. Reordered the hush puppies which were brought right out. Very hard and dry. But we will give the Boathouse another try for dinner.

Went for Mother’s Day brunch. I had the egg casserole—served in a cold bowl and the casserole was obviously microwaved. My mother had “ham steak and eggs”. A dry slab of ham and one OVERCOOKED fried egg. No garnish. Just a stark white plate with ham and an incinerated egg. It was simply inedible . Stated this to the very kind waitress and her response was that’s how the kitchen serves all their eggs. The Waffle House would have been a better choice. The sole purpose of Mother’s Day brunch is to make it special. How could this ONE FACT be overlooked?!? Embarrassing and will never return. I’m a local and will talk.
