Gillie's Seafood 805 Folly Road, Charleston, SC 29412

"Great food! My husband got fried oysters and fried scallops with rice and cabbage. I’d got an order of fried shrimp and fried gator tail, with fries. It was so so good! We Weill definitely be coming back! We sat outdoors since it was such a pretty day and the waiters made sure they came and checked on us multiple times!"

"i visited in June and I'm still thinking about this place! delicious! homey vibes. it was really busy when I went. friendly staff. large portions. food came out piping hot. if you get catfish Charleston and you are not a creamy sauce person you can request less sauce. the dish is amazing! limited parking in back of restaurant. i definitely recommend."

"This was an excellent black owned restaurant that head been around 7 years and had much hospitality, warm welcoming to everyone and plenty of business with great great food. Absolutely the best of southerns best with a twist of seafood. Oh my goodness. Must stop by and visit anytime your in the area. I was loving the Grandma photo wall. I plan to revisit just to get the great food. Live entertainment was great on the outside. Thanks to all the great cooks and employees. When I say good filling portions and great prices well worth the wait."

"Walked in around 3pm on a weekday.. no wait. Went straight to a table. Our waitress was the absolute best waitress. She was sweet, kept our drinks full.. was on top of our every want/need. The owner’s mother even came and talked to us. Now the food.. absolutely delicious. Cooked perfectly.. the coleslaw was just what I was looking for! Their banana pudding tastes just like my Mammaw’s (Rest her soul).. I will definitely be back.. they made sure our first experience there would definitely not be our last. Can’t wait to go back for more!"

"Be prepared to wait. However, the wait is worth the visit. I suggest the owner invest in a buzzer system to alert customers when a table is available. Customer service could improve, however. The hostess wasn't personable, but the waitress made up for the less than welcoming greeting. Overall, the food was phenomenal, and perhaps the best soul food in the city."
