Ellis Creek Fish Camp

"Absolutely amazing!! Food came out so hot and fresh. Nothing was just sitting in the back. Got the fried Shrimp Plate, tacos and shrimp po boy and can't wait to come back. Go to the window to make your order then go have a seat and they bring it to you. Even got to chat with the owner. All good things though. Chicken tenders were like a split chicken breast that tasted so fresh and not frozen. Service was quick to refill drinks and the views off the marsh are great. They have lots of fans as that summer heat will definitely be cooking you though. Place is dog friendly but all the owners kept them close to their own tables."

"I so badly wanted to give this place 5 stars. It’s in such a good location on the marsh, the patio is well-decorated and lit for a nice evening, and the patio is dog-friendly. However. Apart from the hush-puppies, the food just didn’t live up to what I thought. It came out like-warm at best. Shrimp & grits lacked spices. Scampi was very oily and heavy and the shrimp did not seem fresh. I’d like to give it another try for the atmosphere but I’d definitely try ordering something else."

"Ellis Creek is a fantastic example of a proper fish camp. The hushpuppies with the honey butter were a great starter. We had fried shrimp, oysters, flounder, as well as crab cakes. The local hot sauce was a nice touch. The collard greens were surprisingly delicious."

"Wow! We finally stopped here and found out why it's always busy. Everything we had was delicious, especially the shrimp and grits and the blackened grouper. The seafood tastes fresh and the outside seating is picturesque. Definitely will be back next time we're in the area!"

"Found this place by accident and was so happy we did. We went about 4:00 and the crowd had not started yet. Got in line to order and then picked a seat booth outside. There was a great breeze, as well as fans going over most of the tables. There were water/marsh views that were spectacular. We had a large shrimp meal, a shrimp and grouper meal, catfish bites, Bella fingers and hushpuppies. Everything was hot when it came out. The food here was delicious. Would recommend making the trip out to it for sure. When we were leaving, lots of people had started to arrive and line up. This should be on a must do list for Charleston."
