Seewee - Awendaw

Great Value. Wanted to love it ...maybe we just got the wrong items. Heading into Charleston and stopped in for lunch. It's in a cute old home. Service was great. The hush puppies were great. The oyster poboy was good but I don't like mayo on it and kind of wished there was an aoli or remoulade for it. The fried flounder sandwich was good. If I am being picky, both were on the same hoagie roll that was a little too much bread for me. I got onion rings as my side. They were good but a little under cooked.

Seewee's is a classic north of Mount Pleasant. If you're coming from the south just be prepared to do a handbrake U-turn spin around on 17 to get back to the parking lot. Basically an old Roadside stand, it is quaintly decorated inside. You have to love a place that starts off with a basket of complementary hush puppies served with butter. Drinks include NeHi soda, and lots of bottled beer Most of the food is fried but very lightly fried and there's a lot of classic sides. Butter, beans, fried okra, coleslaw, and fried green tomatoes to name a few. You get three sides with each entrée. There's also a no fry option called seewee style. Hot fresh and plenty of it. Well worth the trip up 17 for a few miles north of Mount Pleasant.

A great hole in the wall, locals only type spot. You'll find as good of fried fish here as anyone in the Charleston area. Add in the classic southern menu and you've got a winner! The hushpuppies that came with the meal were a crowd pleaser and nearly everyone in our group of 11 enjoyed their meal. My fried oysters were excellent. Perfect batter, fresh, light, and just the right bite to them. They were my favorite protein of any of the tables entries I tried. The red rice was a super flavorful winner. And the greens were solid. I was wishing for more crunch on the fried green tomato's but they were still tasty. Fried shrimp were a winner. The fried flounder was maybe the least favorite dish. Still solid but not enough to come back for. On the downside, we waited nearly an hour for our table. And upon checking in with the host, it sounded like they'd forgotten about our large group and wanted to split us between a couple tables. Ultimately the food, service, and ambiance made up for it. Just be sure to stay on top of the host when you go

Late afternoon arrival and in search of a place to eat I consulted good old YELP. I'm familiar with restaurants around Bluffton and HHI but not Mt Pleasant but YELP to the rescue ! We found SeaWee and fell in hungry glad we did! Specialty is country comfort food with plenty of fish dishes. They start you out with complimentary hush puppy's. The HP's were sweet, fried right and fresh so good I asked for a second basket Next came the flounder platter . You can have your fish friied or blackened I did mine blackened. Fish was delicate and well cooked only complaint was I felt it could have had more blackening. The platter comes with 3 (yes THREE! Sides . Now there were many choices but today I chose fried green tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and butter beans I would definitely stop in again , the place has an excellent list of southern country desserts and is a real experience to a throwback restaurant in the south

We highly came highly recommended to SeeWee many locals had told us this is one of the best places we need to go to and we hadn't been yet! Family was visiting town and it coincidentally worked out that it was blue crab season! We knew they'd have some amazing choices. They were very accommodated to allow me to have a grilled blue crab as I am GF! My husband got the seafood platter! Both parents got fried blue crab! We all loved our food it was such a classic southern dish, fried well, good prices and amazing service! It's a no-frills kind of place but you're going here for some really good food! And of course we grabbed the homemade desserts they were absolutely amazing! Parking is small, but it's worth the trip up here highly recommend coming for lunch we got in right away!
