The food was great! The oysters were fresh & the drinks were made terrific! Our server was named Gordon and he was very attentive! Also, it was great to have the owner come around and greet and speak to everyone! Once you come and visit you can understand why this establishment has lasted so long! Also while you're there stop next door at the general store and pick up a few great souvenirs or try a scoop of the delicious ice cream!

My visit to Hyman’s seafood was truly unforgettable. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by a hostess whose warm smile and gracious Southern hospitality instantly made me feel at home. I ordered the glazed Grouper with Brussels sprouts and every bite was delicious comforting, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere was just as wonderful: inviting, relaxed, and filled with friendly, courteous people who made the space feel alive with genuine kindness. What made the experience especially meaningful was our server Charlie. She was incredibly pleasant, offered thoughtful recommendations, and took the time to share a genuine conversation with us. It didn’t feel like dining out it felt like sitting around the table at home with family. Hyman’s seafood in Charleston, South Carol

A Beautiful Legacy Visit to a Charleston Landmark 🌊🐟 Hyman’s Seafood is a true Charleston treasure, and returning there is always a special experience for me. My family has such deep roots with this establishment—my parents even had their first date here, and members of my family were part of the team long before the current generation. It’s a place filled with wonderful memories! 🏙️❤️ As a Charleston native of Gullah Geechee heritage, I always look forward to the local flavors. The Red Rice was a unique experience; it has a lovely Spanish-style (Charleston Red Rice is distinctive) flair with a touch of chili powder that was interesting to try! However, the absolute showstopper was the Fried Fish! 🏆🔥 It is clear that the talented chefs in the kitchen have mastered a recipe that has stood

★★★★☆ 4.0 Corina Mayo · Feb 2026

Very family oriented restaurant. One of owners came out and checked on our table to see everything was okay. The atmosphere was very cozy with great, nostalgic decor. Perfect lighting as well. The food was good and so was the service. We just had a little issue with one of our orders which was taken care of. The coleslaw was the only reason I did not rate a 5 star on the food. It wasn't the tastiest, too much vinegar or whatever sauce was in there. Otherwise, highly recommend when in the area.

★★★★★ 5.0 Eric Larson · Mar 2026

This place was extremely busy, which is always a good sign. The bar area is fairly small, but that’s where I ended up eating and it turned out to be a great experience. The bar service was excellent—very attentive staff, good service, and a fun atmosphere. The menu is enormous, so there’s a ton of selection. From what I saw coming out of the kitchen, everything looked like solid, high-quality seafood. I ordered the broiled seafood plate which included shrimp, whole flounder, a crab cake, Brussels sprouts, and croquettes. Everything on the plate was excellent and well prepared. Overall, this just feels like a classic Charleston seafood restaurant that does things right. Expect to spend around $40–$50 per person, which is reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. I would definitely re
