Took a break from the birds of prey facility for lunch at the Seewee restaurant. It is a busy place but service was great and so was the fish. Didn't care for the sweet potato "fries" as they were a little thick for me. The hush puppies were very tasty. Prices were very reasonable

Too busy. Fried fish was tasty. Hush puppies the best. Service excellent. Stand around for. Few for a table - it's worth it.

Glynda and I had a very nice lunch at SeeWee Resturant just North on 17 going out of Mt. Pleasant. It is located just where your turn to go to the Bull's Island Ferry on the right and it is on the left side going North. We have wanted to stop many times but this time we did and we were not disappointed. Like going back in time which makes it a real treat. The Hush Puppie were hot and excellent and just a little sweet like I like. I had the Fried Shrimp and Glynda the Oysters all great. I had a side of steamed squash which was super fresh and hot. Our olny disappointment was they were out Key Lime Pie LOL. The outside Toliet was interesting.......... Don't miss it if you are up that way.

What a great find while traveling! Family owned restaurant in a converted home. Service was very good. Loved the fish, soup and the hush puppies were very good and different from what I've had before. The lump crab was colder than I thought it would be and a bit overwhelming. I think I'm just used to having warm crab, so that's on me. The oysters were very large and the portion can be easily shared by a while table. I enjoyed the Sunday Mimosa. This is a must restaurant if passing through to or from Charleston.

We love Seewee for that southern seafood dive! It's a no frills place but you'll find great food. It's way bigger than it appears with parking around, right off the highway for easy access. We've taken almost everyone when visiting us! Lunch and dinner both equally great! Usually get one of the specials, they offer great choices of friend, blackened, grilled etc. It then meets everyone's preferences. Great prices and even better desserts. All cakes/pies are made in house and you must always get dessert even if it's to go! We love having a great local place to support! Good for small or large groups! Staff is always so nice and attentive, never any issues here!

Hands down the best seafood in town ! I'm a local here, 7th generation in fact, and we've been coming here since they opened! This week my son came home to visit. This was the one thing he wanted other than Mama's cooking, SeeWee fried seafood! He's leaving in the morning! We came for lunch. We both had delicious Lunch Seafood Platters. Our server Kerry was the best we've ever had here! The service was fast, she spaced out our apps and the food arriving perfectly !! Wonderfully shabby is how I'd call the atmosphere. Very down home and that's the kid of cooking and service you'll get here! It's the one all of us locals recommend!! Enjoy!

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
