Spot the little ol' red See Wee sign and pull off at this diner-style roadside joint; you will not regret it.
A neighborhood staple with a homey, eclectic vibe. Decorated with checkered tablecloths and knick-knacks, making you feel right at home.
You came for the fried seafood, right? So go big or go home with the See Wee Platter. Shrimp, oysters, flounder, and scallops fried to delicious perfection. The restaurant prides itself on sourcing fresh local ingredients, so you know it's good.
Or how about a Lowcountry classic, whole-fried catfish? The catfish is lightly breaded and deep-fried and comes with two sides.
Speaking of sides, See Wee Restaurant offers a large variety of them. From fan favorites like mac n' cheese, fried mushrooms, and collard greens. But we have to say, the side that stands out among the rest has got to be the fried green tomatoes, the perfect southern comfort food.
Have a friend with you that needs a healthier option? Not a problem; try the garden fresh grilled shrimp salad. There is also the option of getting any of the seafood grilled. If you're opting for grilled, ask for it to be prepared 'SeeWee Style,' which is Old Bay, garlic, lemon, and sherry. Yum!
End your meal with some locally made desserts. May we suggest the coconut cake? It doesn't get any better than that.
If the restaurant is crowded, don't fret, they have plenty of spacious outdoor seating. See Wee also has weekly live music, making for a perfect combo.
