The Wreck of the Richard and Charlene Review

Reviewed by RA from South Carolina on 9/24/08
It had been almost a year since we had been to the Wreck to eat and from the last two reviews, I was afraid it had changed or gone downhill. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder - The Wreck is still the BEST and freshest seafood you can get anywhere for your money near Charleston. We went last Sat.night and there was a 30 min. wait. So, we sat out on the deck and watched the boats come in. We got to see the sun set over the Ravenel Bridge and the wait seemed short. We ordered the grilled seafood platters and it was delicious. No - they still DO NOT accept credit cards and NO you CANNOT smoke or use your cell phone inside the eating area. I am thankful these annoying things are not allowed. If you want a peaceful dinner with wonderful food, great service and a beautiful view - eat at the Wreck. If you want mass-produced pre-frozen dried out fish - eat at one of the other 99 seafood places in and around Charleston. I hope The Wreck never changes.

Possibly the worst place in the United States. Any one can fry a fish, or shrimp, but they even messed that up. We had heard that this was an excellent place to eat, wrong. Try Captain Ds instead, save your money and eat better. This place sucks for air.

You've got to be kidding me! What year are these people living in? Had to leave and look for an ATM to get cash to pay the bill. Never again. Our service was excellent, but the food was mediocre at best.
