About
This Restaurant is Permanently Closed... obviously you have not updated your files.. The owner called and personally gave me the info as I had a reservation for Thanksgiving Day... Morgan Creek Grill was one of the best Restaurants in Isle of Palms and we are so sad that it is gone....
First time patron
Went with my wife and a friend
Likes that they served the regular lunch and Brunch menus to chose from. Make your own Bloodie was great, lots of veggies.
Eggs Benedict was excellent as well as the Ceaser Salad
Fantastic view as the boats went by. Sat at a table by the window
Truly enjoyed our night out. Romantic and cozy atmosphere. Loved the calamari and the grilled salmon!
My friend’s French fries were cold. Otherwise all was excellent. Service outstanding. All the hostess and waitstaff were exceptional, as was the ambiance and vies. I love it there. Thank you.
Had to wait 1 hour for food. Brunch menu out of eggs and ham at 12:45.
Hi there, Ginger. This is certainly a surprise to hear. I'll make sure that management is aware of this review, so that we can find where things went wrong on Sunday. We do appreciate you leaving this review. Good or bad, reviews help us know where things work and where things don't. I hope that you will consider giving us another visit for our Brunch, Lunch, or Dinner as we get out of our busy season and don't experience issues of wait times moving forward. - Ryan
We selected Morgan Creek Grill based on the TripAdvisor reviews and the menu. We were looking for fish/shellfish grilled - not fried. I had the red drum and my boyfriend had the swordfish. The entrees were delicious! We also enjoyed the restaurant ambiance.
Aww, thanks so much, Kit! Your review and recommendation really do mean a lot to us. We are very happy to offer more than just fried food. That Lowcountry flavor is something we take pride in serving. Thank you again for your visit and we hope to see you again! - Ryan
Food was delicious, but came out very slowly despite tables being seated after us were served their meals. Server was rare to find. Ordered a glass of wine, and it was never received. We cancelled it, and server said it was sitting on the bar. Food was exceptional, service was sub par.
Thank you, Kelly, for the review. I do apologize that your server was not to your liking that night. If you would like to pass along the name or a description, we'd be interested to make sure this situation does not occur again. This past weekend came as a surprise for how busy it was despite no longer being in our busy season! We thank our guests' for their patience as we tried to get our kitchen to a proper pace. We appreciate your review, your recommendation, and hope to see you again! - Ryan
Wonderful meal at a reasonable price. Amazing view of the sunset. We will be back!
Joanie, this is so great to see! Thank you so very much for the kind review. It's our pleasure to serve and we look forward to your next visit with us! - Ryan
It was great and I loved the meal!
That is so kind, thank you so much! I'm very pleased that you enjoyed your visit. We hope to see you again! - Ryan
Service was very slow. Good thing we weren’t in a hurry.
Yes, unfortunately Friday saw some unexpected back ups in the kitchen. We truly appreciate our guests' patience with us that night as we tried to get things moving at a proper pace. Thank you for the review and for coming to visit us. As we're getting out of our busy season, there should not be anymore wild wait times moving forward. - Ryan
BEAUTIFUL view at sunset between the boats, docks and water. We had the most pleasant, attentive waitress and the food came out promptly. The food was good with a nice menu. All 6 of us enjoyed our food. The hot crab dip was very nice but the fried green tomatoes were a bit thick with little taste. From salads to porkchops, there is a nice selections at reasonable rates. A solid restaurant with a nice bar with games in the TVs. Will definitely go back.
Thank you so much for the descriptive review. It's great to see that your visit was a success! I hope that you were able to discuss the tomatoes with your server. We are adamant about fixing issues as they arise. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review and coming to see us. We look forward to your next visit! - Ryan
Best view in the Charleston area!
Aww, thank you so much! Charleston is such a beautiful town, so to say that we have the best really brings a smile to our faces. We hope we get the chance to serve you again. Thank you! - Ryan
Great views, service and food choices. If you love seafood, this is a great place to enjoy. Will go back.
Joanne, thank you so much for the review and the recommendation. It means so much to us! We look forward to your next visit and are so pleased that you enjoyed your time with us. - Ryan
Better food than we expected. Great view of the marina , and I had the snapper special, which was awesome.
Hi there! Thank you so much for the generous review. I'm so glad that you enjoyed the snapper special. I'll pass that along to the head chef, so that he knows it was a success! We hope to see you again. - Ryan
Hostess was no where to be found for a while and not friendly. But once we were seated the server was fantastic and food was good as usual.
I'm very glad that once you were seated that you had a positive experience. Based on your visit date, I see that you were here Sunday. Was this during Sunday Brunch or during the dinner? We would like to make sure you do not encounter the same kind of front desk experience again. - Ryan
View at window table was great as was our server, but actual food was very disappointing! Crab dip and she crab soup were a good flavor but sadly lacking any quality crab. Fish tacos ha a very small, dry piece of mahi mahi and lacking -- you could roll up the small tortilla into a small burrito! Saturday at 5:30 and out of oysters! Roasted Brussels sprouts were shaved and hard as a rock. Sadly disappointing!
Joel, this is certainly disappointing to hear. I do apologize that your visit was so dismal. As for the oysters, unfortunately the recent string of hurricanes have delayed all oysters coming into the Charleston area for all restaurants. For the rest of the matters, I will make sure that the kitchen is made aware. Hopefully, you had the chance to speak to your server and/or management about these issues, so that they could be resolved upon arising. Thank you for the review. - Ryan
Food was good, lovely view of the marina and the service was excellent!
Hi there, Jennifer. Thank you for your review, but I am a little confused. Today (Saturday, October 12th) is the first day that we have had music at our restaurant in about a month. We do not have live music on Thursday's. I just want to make sure that this was in fact the correct restaurant you dined with on Thursday. If we are indeed the correct restaurant, then I would love to follow up with some insight about the server. Thank you. - Ryan
More low country food than we expected, but the oysters were marvelous. Shrimp were a little overdone. Overall a good experience.
Thank you very much for the review! Yes, we are very happy to serve our Low Country Favorites here with items like the Shrimp & Grits & Hoppin' John. I do apologize that the shrimp was cooked longer than you would have liked. I do hope that you had a chance to discuss that with your server. Thank you very much for stopping by. We hope to see you again in the future! - Ryan
Menu changed and is very average! The food preparation was average. Please get your previous chef back and I will be back!
The people were very nice but our food was not good at all. All arrived very cold, one person sent their food back and the rest of us should have done so as well. The quality -versus- value did not compare. Don't mind paying for good food, just did not enjoy.
Hi, John. Thank you for the review. Good or bad, we like to get feedback, so that we can see where we need improvement. It seems as if you visited us about two weeks ago. Unfortunately, it wasn't until recently that we found a good rhythm to handle the incoming business after our UpperDeck had to close from Hurricane Dorian. Since then, we made many changes that seem to be working quite well. I do apologize that your visit was unsuccessful. I invite you to try us again amidst our changes. - Ryan
Food was delicious
Thanks a lot! We're glad you had a good time. - Ryan
Great view of the marina. The tacos and burger were great. The she crab soup is really good. I was less impressed with my Caesar salad and the shrimp and grits were a little soupy. Our waitress was nice and quick!
Thank you very much for your review, Lucy. I'm pleased to see that most of your visit was a success. I do hope that you were able to talk with your waitress about the areas that weren't so appetizing. We are dedicated to fixing issues as they arise. However, it is still good to know that your waitress was attentive and responsive. Thank you for your visit and we hope to see you again! - Ryan
Had a reservation for 7:00. Got there at 6:53 and was told to come back in seven minutes/ Plenty of empty tables in restaurant. Ordered the fried shrimp which was over cooked.
Thank you for the review! As for seating times, on weekends we do have to be specific with seating at the reservation times, in order to give our kitchen and servers as much time as possible to handle their guests with the quality we strive for. It's often not based on what tables are empty. We truly appreciate our guests' patience while we ensure a proper flow in service. I do apologize that the shrimp was not to your liking. I hope you were able to resolve it with your server. - Ryan
Birthday dinner. Very nice. Logan was a great server.
Thank you so much, Cat! I'll be sure to pass along the compliments to Logan. He will be very pleased to see this! We appreciate your visit and the review and hope to see you again! - Ryan
Great atmosphere, good service and outstanding cuisine. Loved the outdoors by the water with games and bar service
That's awesome! I'm so glad to see that you had such a good experience with us. We are so happy to have our Creekside bar where people get to relax and play. We hope to see you again in the future. - Ryan
We were celebrating a 50th birthday and all was wonderful!
Wow, I'm so glad that you decided to come see us for such a special occasion! Thank you so much for the visit. It's great to see that it was wonderful. See you on the 51st? - Ryan
Fish selection was very salty. Restaurant became very crowded and server was overwhelmed, was forgetful of requests. Unusually long wait time for service and food.
Thank you for your review. Good to bad, we always love to see guest feedback, so that we can know where things need improvement. Unfortunately, Hurricane Dorian forced our Upper Deck to close for repairs. That includes an entire kitchen and half of our kitchen staff. This means that weekends can get especially tough to accommodate the business. We are working hard to find the right rhythm of things and sincerely appreciate guests' patience while we find what works and what doesn't. - Ryan
MY first visit with friends. Service and food were superb. Happy I made my reservations (from NJ). We were given a nice window table with great view. It certainly added to the ambience of the evening.
Eric, I'm so please that your visit was so nice! Thank you very much for the kind words and the recommendation. We appreciate you bringing some out of state guests to visit us, as well! We look forward to your next stop in. - Ryan
We have been coming there since 1993. The food was excellent but there were a lot of people and we were a long time being served our dinner. We will continue to go there and do not want this restaurant closed in 2020
Thank you for the review, Daphne. We thank you for your dedication and support of our restaurant. After the closing of the Upper Deck due to Hurricane Dorian, it's certainly been a challenge on weekends and we so appreciate all of our guests' patience. We also hope that we don't close next year! Let's all hope that the lease goes well in our favor in the coming months. - Ryan
Been years since there last, it was as good as remembered. Very pleased
Hey, thanks so much! I'm glad that you decided to check us out again. Your nice review and recommendation mean a lot to us. We hope to see you again soon! - Ryan
Excellent meal and setting. Kitchen was backed up, food took almost an hour from placing order with wait staff, communication was okay. Bottom line we would return.
Thank you so much for your review. Even more so, thank you so much for your understanding. Weekends have been quite a challenge here at the Creek. Hurricane Dorian shut down our Upper Deck (including an entire kitchen), so it is causing some unfortunate back ups. I'm so pleased that your experience and food otherwise was a success. We look forward to your next visit. Thank you again! - Ryan
Three in our party had mediocre food at best, and two dishes were terrible. The shrimp and deviled egg appetizer was awful. Calamari was over cooked and average. She crab soup was very good. I had the Barramundi fish and seasoning was bland, and the fish gamey tasting with terrible flavor. (I should have known not to eat a fish I’d never heard of before.) My husband had the shrimp and seafood hoppin John which was just average in flavor and was mostly rice, which may be how it is supposed to be. Our server was good and friendly, but she never checked in to see how our meals were, and didn’t inquire when seeing my plate hardly touched. It was her favorite dish, so at the time I figured it was just me not liking it, so I didn’t mention it. I should have so they perhaps could have made sure nothing was wrong with the fish. Next time something is this bad I will definitely do that. We won’t return to this restaurant again though.
Thanks for the review! I apologize that the visit was not to your liking. We're dedicated to fixing issues as they arise. If guests' palates to not agree with our food, then we are always happy to accommodate and create a dish more pleasing to any individual. For reference, the barramundi is an Australian fish similar to flounder; farmed in coastal Florida. We typically serve four Fresh Catch fish if you are looking for something more local. We do hope you will consider visiting us again. - Ryan
I booked this reservation for my parents so they could enjoy a special dinner for their 45th wedding anniversary. As my Mother is fighting cancer, I wanted her to feel special and for them both to put aside their worries and enjoy each other. I called the morning of the reservation and spoke with Ryan who allowed me to pay for a surprise dessert to be delivered to their table that evening and requested, if all possible, a water view seat. Ryan was so kind and assured he would do what he could for the seating preference.
My parents dinner was amazing; the food, the service, the experience was perfect!! I cannot thank everyone enough at MCG for a very special treat for my parents who deserve so much happiness!!
Lisa, your review brought such a big smile to my face. Thank you so much for your kind words. I was so pleased that we were able to give your parents a nice table. Their server said that they were beyond sweet! Additionally, I'm so glad to see that everything went well for them. As the person who handles reviews, I love to share stories like this with the rest of our staff as it warms their hearts and keeps them pushing strong. Thank you again and we hope to see you and/or them again! - Ryan
This was not our first visit and will not be our last. The server was very attentive and polite despite the fact that it looked like she was working very hard and serving tables in more than one section. We arrived a bit earlier than our reservation and I am glad we did. The food took a little longer to get to us but it did not disappoint. The table view was picturesque
and the food was amazing.
Jennifer, this is such a sweet review. Thank you so much for the kindness and for your visit. We are so pleased when we have the chance to read that someone's experience was so positive. If you remember your server's name or description, we'd love to pass along the compliments. We look forward to your next visit with us! - Ryan
We loved the view! The food was delicious and our waiter superb. Will definitely return!
Janet, I am so pleased to see that you enjoyed your visit! If you remember who your waiter was, we'd love to pass the compliments. Thank you for your review and look forward to seeing you again. - Ryan
Restaurant location is convenient but still had to wait on a table even though we had a reservation. It took 45 mins to get our appetizer and we had to find the waiter to get the entrees delivered. My fish was room temperature so not very appetizing. There are much better restaurants located only a mile or two away.
We appreciate the review, John. Unfortunately, Hurricane Dorian left us in a pretty rough shape and we are trying hard to find a right balance in the business now that our Upper Deck has to be closed. We understand the frustration from our guests and are working hard every day to find the right course of action. Thank you for your patience on the day of. - Ryan
Great location to enjoy eating and looking at the water! Food took a little while to come out and inside was kind of noisy but other than that, very nice!
Thank you very much for the kind words, Kate. We appreciate you coming to see us and your recommendation! We hope to see you again down the line. - Ryan
Food was fabulous. View of the water was pretty good from our table, but wish we had been seated by window. Waitress was adequate but not overly friendly.
Morgan Creek Grill has always been a favorite place to dine for our family. We love the view, excellent food choices, and of course, the service is always good. Great choice for a special occasion with family or friends, or just to have a drink and appetizers. You won't be disappointed.
Maleeta, this was a very generous review. Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so pleased that your visit was such a success and we couldn't thank you enough for letting everyone know that kind of atmosphere they can experience here down at the Creek. We look forward to your next visit! - Ryan
Our reservation kept being pushed out and then they ended up seating us at a table far from the window (view). Ran out of the special of the day...
Thank you for your review. Last weekend was a very unusual one for us. As we had to close our Upper Deck for the hurricane season, we have had to make many changes that have been a lot of trial and error as we see what works and what doesn't. We think that since that weekend, we have found the right balance that will work for every area of our restaurant. We appreciate our guests' patience as we find the solution to these issues that Dorian gave us and hope you will come try us again. - Ryan
