Delicious food, reasonably priced, friendly service (a bit slow), and cute atmosphere. Try the she crab soup!

Check out Salt Water Creek on either a Saturday or Sunday for brunch. They have a large assortment of Eggs Benedict. The Shrimp Eggs Benedict were delicious. Their Creek Gravy is served with their grit cake and it is sublime! So good! What a terrific way to start your weekend day!

Oh man, this is one of the more disappointing meals I've had out lately. The exterior is kinda cute in that been-through-a-hurricane kind of way and the interior has promise with its exposed brick and timber, but the decoration and accessories look lost and confused which translates straight into the subpar food. The menu is full of trickery, it looks... More

Our group of 14 called ahead for lunch. We had to wait almost one hour from the time we ordered our food until we received it! The restaurant was not crowded and none of our orders were complicated. As a local, I was very disappointed with the incredibly long wait for our food and upset that no explanation or apology... More

Our party of three dined at SWC on the evening of 3/16/13. This was our third visit and each has been a delectable fresh seafood experience. While SWC is on Hwy 17 and there is not a marsh view, it is a tasty deviation from the inlet. SWC rivals and exceeds many of the "restaurant row" establishments. This evening was... More

It is a bit deceptive to say this restaurant is in the "Inlet," since it is not on Business 17, but the bypass, so I do not consider this an "Inlet" restaurant. It's nowhere near the water, but it is a good deal nicer than most of the restaurants on the marsh, which I generally avoid. And I've only tried... More

Our vacation visit to Saltwater Creek was just great. We went in with the "Early Bird" crowd and were very happy with the prices. The cheese grits appetizer was delicious. The entrees were very reasonably priced and the food was super good. And, they had live music when we were there. We would definitely go back again and again. Too... More

We ate here on a Saturday for lunch. There was a family ahead of us waiting to be greeted and seated. No joy. The man finally waved down a waitress to ask if they should seat themselves. She seemed taken aback and said yes. We followed suit and sat ourselves down next to the fireplace in the middle of the... More

I am very sorry your experience here on the Saturday mentioned was not up to our standards. I will certainly make sure this is an exception and not our normal business practice. Please except my apology and know your comments did not fall on closed ears. More
