The flavors are amazing and shrimp tasted fresh I would highly recommend this place if you are in the area.

I was pretty disappointed with this place. As other reviewers stated, the fish was not fresh, this was the only place I ate in Charleston, where the seafood wasn't fresh. The cabbage was oily and The deviled crab was excessively salty. The potato salad, bread pudding and pineapple tea were all good. They also didn't open at the advertised time. I wouldn't return.

Outstanding. This was one of my favorite Seafood any Adventures I've ever had. Better then comparable days and Baltimore. I would definitely recommend splitting the crabs and shrimp dinner. I had it dining solo - it was delicious and it took me out. I remember when I went to the Baltimore Crab Shack it was full of Asian families and I could see the same demographic going wild for this. Unfortunately they only make a certain amount per day and it's quite likely they will run out by 3:04 p.m. I recommend calling beforehand if you are dead set on this food. And you should be. It was one of my favorite meals in Charleston no doubt about it. (This review was found in my drafts from a bunch of years ago)

I had the shrimp dinner with macaroni and cheese and potato salad. My husband had the scallop and shrimp plate. They definitely live up to their name and awards. We will be back.

I really wanted this to be great because North Charleston is in bad need of good locally-owned restorations. The wife and I enjoyed multiple meals from Nana's in the old downtown location, but something is clearly lost in the translation during the move north I don't mind spending a lot of money on food as long as it is good. But on the night we went, the quality of the food just did not match the prices. We spent over $100 for two dishes and a few sides this would have been fine if the food was good, but it was not The Mac was OK, but the fries were not. Maybe it is because they sit in a styrofoam container until we got it home, but they were just bluck. The main garlic dishes were lacking in garlic pop we were expecting. The size of the crab clusters were extremely small which is even more disappointing based on the high cost of the dish.

Delicious! I had the tilapia burger with fries and pineapple tea. Everyone in the restaurant was talking about the pineapple tea as it is so good!

The door to this building is heavy! We initially thought it was closed but we had to pull the door hard. Upon getting our food, the cashier informed me that there was only fries and salad as side. It was cool but wanted to try the Mac and cheese. I was very excited to taste Charleston best seafood (that’s what the van said) husband order the fish sandwich and I ordered the shrimp and stuffed crab entree with two pineapple teas. One sauce giving was VERY salty! The other sauce was some kind of tarter sauce with seasoning, it was very thick. It was not dippable but you could spoon it on your food. The “stuffed crab” was breading in aluminum foil shaped as a shell and very wet. On top of the high blood pressure from the salty sauce, the tea will give you an insulin sock from the sugar content. We ended up going back to the hotel, splitting one drink and adding water (half &half) it was perfect then. The shrimp was under cooked. I ended up eating half my husband sandwich. I was glad they didn’t use iceberg lettuce for the salad. That’s the only compliment I have for the this establishment.

Well, we were excited about having some seafood soulfood. ? Unfortunately, this spot let us down. We both had shrimp and whiting with fries. The lady stated they were out of everything else beside fries and salad. That should have been a sign to head out but we stayed. The whiting tasted like the frozen bag of fish you get at Walmart and for it to be 16$ a plate....that won't happen again. However, the shrimp tasted a lot better. The dessert was cool. We had the banana pudding and strawberry cheese cake. I don't think it was worth 9$ a piece but we had to try it all. Oh well, maybe next time! ?

Now normally I wouldn’t post a bad review on a black owned business because I take pride in suporrting my people now rather me call the food inspections place I’ll just leave this here I spent 40$ in a raw fried lobster that took 30 mins or longer to come out disappointed isnt the word
Visiting for the weekend… After running the annual CRBR, searched for a local Seafood Restaurant. Nana’s certainly did not disappoint! Seafood was fresh and authentic. The pineapple tea was delicious… never had that flavor before… ??Will definitely, add Nana’s to my list when visiting Charleston again.

Everything was on point; jumbo sweet breaded shrimp, fresh salad & delicious mango habanero chicken; NOTHING to complain about.

fresh tasty seafood. The garlic seafood is really good. It would be good if can have some kind of bread to go with it.
Stephen Harvey
Absolutely fantastic seafood. We got a variety of fried and grilled items. The garlic shrimp and lobster was amazing! The guy at the register was super nice and even called us when the food was ready. We waited in the car while the food was prepped. Overall a great foodie experience and will definitely recommend.
