Lawrence's Seafood Company

Overall a great beachside dinner. Sat outside and enjoyed an ocean view. Corn Hole, giant Jenga, and a sandy area are available while you wait. Walk up from the beach walkway, an easy walk from the public parking area or be lucky enough to grab a parking spot or front. At 415 there was plenty of seating inside and out. The hush puppies with honey butter were the best I've ever tasted! The lobster in the lobster Mac & cheese was really delicious. Lobster Roll was seasoned with dill and yummy. Shrimp Tacos were described as "mangoey, spicy, and shrimpy." Fries were well seasoned but we'd pass on the grits next time. Fish Tacos were okay and filling. Would come back to try other menu items or walk up from the beach and enjoy the outside bar.

Really enjoyed this place. Lawrence's Seafood Company delivers in the following ways: cool and fun atmosphere, really good service ( huge kudos to our server, Victoria, who is simply outstanding), and delicious food! We started with the Bang Bang Shrimp and it was delicious. For our main entree we had the Fish Tacos and the BBQ Tacos....both were outstanding! In addition, we enjoyed the live music, very entertaining. If you're on the IOP, check this place out, it's a winner. Highly recommend.

Food was good. Lobster roll was eh. Shrimp tacos were wonderful. Nachos were amazing. Area was clean. Music was loud. Male greeter came off as if he didn't want to be at work. Server seemed to be rushing us to order. Noticed the greeter and server were spending a lot of time together. Maybe this is the reason for the customer service at the beginning. Drink looked sloppy when it arrived and tasted ok... Not saying this is a horrible place to eat because the establishment looks wonderful and everything. Maybe just a bad day or rough start. It is Easter after all. Would do 5 stars if the music wasn't so loud (possibly because we're sitting right next to the speaker) and if the greeter and server had a little better customer service at the start. She did in fact get completely better as the time went by. Still recommend the place.

We loved sitting outside listening to the live music. It was a nice relaxing environment. Even though you are close to the bar, there wasn’t too much noise or rowdiness happening. The food was great. The fries are to die for!! I wish they would have had a little better drink selection, but that didn’t really take away from the menu that much. The lobster rolls and crab cakes are worth every penny as well. The kitchen got pretty backed up when we were there. We had a decent wait on our food. Enough that our waitress had to tell us it was “going to be awhile”. Not that it was expected, but it would have been nice to have offered to comp our app or give something based on the length of wait. Our server was ok, nothing great but nothing to complain about. The kitchen issue and server were not bad enough to deduct any stars as the food and atmosphere made up for it all.

We had a GREAT experience for Saturday night dinner. We arrived at 7pm, and my husband and I were immediately seated at the bar. Kevin was hilarious while bartending, and food came out unbelievably fast. The manager checked on us several times during our meal, to make sure we were satisfied. Mid-dinner, it started thunder storming. Staff hustled all outdoor guests indoors, seating them at new tables. Would absolutely recommend to friends visiting the area.

Lawrence's is good, but it does not live up to the Charleston area food scene standards. The restaurant has a nice ocean view and is a good lunch option when spending the day at IOP. The nashville hot chicken po boy was good and so were the crab cakes. I highly reccomend the peanut butter pie dessert. I would skip the brussel sprouts in favor of another side.
