Good grilled and fried shrimp. Fried green tomatoes were good, but at 4 slices for $6.95 quite expensive. Seemed to be a clean place. More

The food is excellent especially the low country boil. It is very unique in that it is not overly spicy like most low country boils are normally. The crab stuffed salmon was also excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant. They are busy, slow and very good. More

This was actually our second time dining at The Waterfront; we'd actually been there once before about two years ago and enjoyed the food so decided to give it another try and the results were pretty much the same. My fiance got the crabcakes which are his favorite; they came with a remoulade sauce and were nice and big. I... More

There was no wait when we(My family) arrived early in the evening. 2 of us ordered the Grouper Special and when it came out the Grouper had a fishy taste like it was old or not Grouper. We ate the sides. Food is good and service is good and friendly. More

The food is fantastic...atmosphere not so much...but who cares when the food is so good. We visit this restaurant every time we come to Edisto. Our crew loves the all-you-can eat oysters and my personal favorite is the crab cakes. Everything, seafood, vegetables, deserts, are fresh and well prepared. My husband had the pecan crusted flounder -- a whole fish... More

Mys husband had oysters,,,yet again...he can't get enough of them on this trip. He was very pleased with the light batter. The restaurant wasn't terribly busy even though it was... More

We went on the night where it was all you can eat crab legs. Got there early but still have to wait about 30 minutes for a table, but enjoyed drinks at the very small bar. It's a family business, and can get crowded if everyone shows up at the same time. It's not on the water front, but still... More
