I never knew about Dave’s until I moved downtown a month ago the first time I bought a fried chicken wing with french fries and fried fish sandwich the chicken was not only uncooked it had clusters off batter on it the chicken was bleeding and it tastes strange it didn’t even taste like chicken the second time I went there was a month later when a friend bought me the same dinner fried chicken and french fries I asked the lady to cook the chicken much longer the chicken was cooked correctly but it still had clumps of chicken batter on it also the chicken was so hairy it was disgusting how could someone Miss so much here on food that goes to show you how much they care about their customers just look at the pictures then you’ll know what I’m saying I did figure it out what that weird taste was which was they cooked the chicken in the fish Grease a few days later I was on the bus and some of the passengers was telling me that they stopped eating Dave’s since the ’80s for the same reason that they cook the chicken in the same grease as the seafood

It’s a very small, no frills location serving fresh fried seafood. Really delicious and simple. Worth a trip for a quick and easy meal.

Found this place by accident. Good, down home fish fry joint., very simple but good food. Staff was nice and super personable, they seemed to know everyone by name. Will return when back in town.

Dave’s take out may be a small and simple restaurant but the customer service and food is AMAZING! The food was truly like a home cooked meal and Dave was the nicest person we encountered our whole trip. The scallops were mouth watering. We couldn’t get enough. If you’re in town can’t suggest this place enough!

Wanted to hit this place up before leaving Charleston and so glad I did. It’s truly nothing fancy about this place, but what matters most is that the food is fire. And fire it was! I ordered the Seafood Platter ($19.50), which came with fried shrimp & fish, scallops, and devil crab). It was all served up with fries and it was such a satisfying meal. The fish was perfectly fried and the shrimp was big! Never had devil crab before, but I liked it. It was crab cake-ish in terms of texture and taste, but wholly unique as well. This was a black-owned restaurant that I was excited to support and I can see why it’s remained a popular spot in the city for good seafood.

I have never been inside, but I have had the shrimp basket twice. The fries are okay, but the shrimp is the best I have had in Charleston. The shrimp is big and flavorful and the breading they use is flavorful.

The ONLY place (any where)I have ever had a crab cake that I actually liked. Simply amazing. The scallops were perfect, fish was spot on and shrimp was delish. If you are in Charlestown you have to go!

A little hole in the wall recommended by the locals. Hand breaded, fresh delicious seafood. Large portions and very reasonable prices! We got take out lunch and brought back to the hotel. They have no parking and street parking is limited, limited dining space too, though they have it. They were packed when we got in! Fried scallops were big and plentiful and cooked to perfection, same with the fried shrimp. The wife ordered Hoppin’ John as her side and it was amazing!
