Great experience! Oysters although very expensive very very good! Fried Green Tomatoes with Crab excellent! Did take us without reservations 40 mins to get seated but was able to get a drink at the bar before! Decent selection on draft. Great views of the water! Local fish for the day was Sheepshead blackened very good! Waitress was very nice!

We really enjoyed our first dining experience at Fleet Landing this evening. Our waitress suggested the stuffed hush puppy appetizer, the she crab soup, and the shrimp and grits so we split those 3 items. We liked all of her suggestions, but especially enjoyed the seafood stuffed hush puppies. They are unique and delicious. We also chose the Huguenot tarte for dessert. It was a pleasant cross between pecan pie and apple crisp with rich vanilla ice cream on top. We highly recommend making time for a meal at Fleet Landing. We’ll definitely be back to enjoy the waterfront views and the delicious offerings again.

The place was fantastic! The views are incredible, the service was excellent and the food was delicious! The seafood tower was an awesome way to try several things and everything was so fresh and good. Some of the best oysters I've ever had. Not to mention the great kids meals for a great price!

I came in with a friend around 1pm and sat at the bar. There were plenty of open seating both at the oyster bar and the regular bar. We ordered some apps and an entree to share and everything was great. My favorite item was the lump crab bruschetta! It was well balanced and very tasty. Our bartender Chris was amazing. He was friendly, attentive and gave us great recommendations. The Cobia entree was also very delicious and perfectly cooked, not dried out like most fish. Overall the ambiance is very chill and on the water so you have a great view. It’s a great establishment to definitely try when visiting Charleston

We had a great experience at Fleet Landing Restaurant & Raw Bar in Charleston! I would definitely give it 5 stars overall. Our server, Bill, was AMAZING. He was friendly, helpful, and gave us great suggestions. One of his recommendations was the s’mores oyster, and it was honestly so good — something I probably wouldn’t have ordered on my own, but I’m so glad I did. It was such a fun and unique dish! The food overall was fresh and really flavorful. You can tell they know how to prepare seafood well. The waterfront view was alright — not super stunning or anything — but still nice to look at while you’re eating. The real highlight for us was definitely the food and the service. Overall, it was a really great experience, and Bill made it even better. I would absolutely recommend it and would go back again!

Indoor and outdoor seating available. We were seated with a window view of the water and pier. Pleasant staff including the manager stopping by our table. We started by sharing a bowl of crab soup which was very creamy but lacked depth of flavor and needed a splash of spice and sherry. I had the Charleston Shrimp and Grits which was delicious. The shrimp were large, tender and hint of sweetness. My husband had the Chicken Piccata which he loved! He said each element was perfectly prepared and the flavors melded perfectly. Then, our dessert was amazing.... pecan pie a la mode. The ice cream tasted homemade and similar to our son's restaurant.

Fantastic experience Our dinner was incredible. The oysters, the calamari, the gumbo, the she-crab soup, and the seafood pasta were perfect. So fresh and cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend this spot for both, locals and tourists. Our server at the raw bar made our experience even more special. Thank you so much.

This was our first time here. There were a few seafood restaurants we had on our list, but we ended up choosing Fleet Landing. There was a bit of a wait to get our table, but we expected them to be busy on a Friday evening. We enjoyed every dish and ate every morsel! We got Shrimp and Grits, Crab Cakes dinner plate, Seafood pasta, She Crab soup, Seafood gumbo, and snow crab legs from the raw bar. Our server, David, was attentive and amicable. The host at the front was also amicable. We enjoyed our meal thoroughly!
