We started adding reds to our bar hopping on shem creek recently, and have loved it. We like to get there early and sit up on the rooftop! We love the live music and overall good vibes most of the time. It can get very packed during the summer but the slow season is nice to bundle up and grab a drink! Over the summer we grabbed food and ate it on the boat that we had docked there which was fun, definitely recommend if you have a boat! Always the best sunset watching from shem creek but ever better form the birds nest! There food was pretty good, I've been before for lunch and had grits and shrimp and that was good but over the summer I tried their buffalo shrimp and a few other random appetizers which were all pretty good! I never get a fancy drink there usually just corona or a seltzer but they are reasonably priced. Definitely recommend going either early before dinner crowd or going after dinner crowd during peak season because it can get pretty busy.

Came here for the Vikings game while our friends went kayaking. Perfect place to watch a football game outside there are heaters and tons of games being played, beer specials are great and the vibe is perfect. After the game was over a band started and they were amazing. Would definitely recommend for a fun outside watching sports bar.

We had dinner here Monday September 02, 2024. We were seated as soon as we arrived. There were four of us. We sat inside as the outside area was kinda loud, in a fun way. Our server was quick to come and greet us. She took our drink order and brought them right out. After a few minutes looking over the menu, we were ready to order. She came back in a reasonable time. She took our order and our meals were ready in what seemed a short time. We all enjoyed our food and our rum drinks. Sadly I didn't snap any photos of our meals, sorry. If we were not visiting family we would have sat outside. Inside was better for conversation, for us. I recommend dining here if you are in the area.

Red's Ice House is a restaurant/bar on the water at Shem Creek. We came here after a day out on the boat. They have a menu with plenty of food options and good drinks. Service was fast and we didn't have to wait very long for drinks or food. The food was pretty good. I got the lobster Mac and cheese and while the lobster was good, I found it wasn't as cheesy as I would like. The killer shrimp had a good sauce but was a little chewy. I would return here to try new items and for the atmosphere.

Fun little spot! Laid back almost island vibes in SC! We loved the bbq bacon wrapped scallops so much we got 2! Lots of great fish options ... I think the move might be to just get a bunch of apps and try a bunch of stuff.

Ugh the vibes here are great! Sitting outside on the water was everything you needed to make your afternoon better. I ordered raw oysters and the Rockefeller ones. They did have a little grain to them but still were great. The dip we ordered I personally thought was fantastic with flavor but others in group didn't think so much. Maybe just some hot sauce on there would be chefs kiss. Service was great it's first come first serve on the patio and you do pay for parking I am pretty sure. Would love to see some live music

This is not fancy dining and that was exactly what we were looking for. It is a standard on the water bar and dining pace with tv's and great laid back atmosphere. We started with Southern Caviar, Pimento Cheese with Captain's Wafers. Now the crackers may seem a bit bland but what you really want is the full flavor of the pimento cheese and these work perfectly. This was a great pimento cheese. It was fresh, creamy and delicious. I will say, the portion is large, easily good for four people. My wife ordered a large order of fried oysters. They were cooked perfectly, meaning not greasy. She enjoyed them, but wasn't able to finish all twelve. The hush puppies, unfortunately were not cooked well. They had a beautiful golden brown exterior but they were cooked in grease that was too hot so the center was still batter, not good. Also, the fries which they claim are seasoned with Red's special blend of spices were just, boring. I don't know if we just got an under seasoned batch, or if this is the standard. I went all in and got two dozen fried shrimp 4 ways on the Bubba Platter. The shrimp were perfectly fried. You get six each of coconut, bang bang, buffalo and Red's fried shrimp with tarter and cocktail. Now, I usually do not like coconut shrimp, but these stood out and the sauce they came with sealed the deal and I would order them again. The bang bang and the buffalo had great sauces with a good kick. On the basic fried, a favorite of mine, came with an exceptional tartar sauce and a really stellar cocktail sauce. Consider this, what does it take for someone to specifically mention tartar and cocktail sauces? These were a cut above. The service was attentive and they have a server/runner team so your food gets out quickly. Well done. If you are looking for some good seafood with a laid back feel, Red's should be on your list. And BTW, great cocktail and wine selection as well as an extensive beer offering.

When it comes to bar food, this place has great options. The lobster dip, poke nachos and buffalo chicken wrap are all on my recommended list. They don't serve food on the tower (for obviously reasons) but I love the dog friendly atmosphere on the deck and the service is always good for how busy they are.

If you are looking for a nice place to eat beside the water in Mt Pleasant, I recommend Reds Ice House. We docked our boat in front of the restaurant and went inside. Great crowd for Saturday afternoon football games! Plenty of seating inside and outside with a beautiful view of the ocean and Shems Creek Boardwalk. The waitress was friendly and our food came out quickly. I ordered the Smoke House Sampler. Omg-, there was so much food! Pork, wings, pulled pork, french fries, and pineapple coleslaw. The food was delicious and a food value for $21. This is a great place for singles, couples, families, and friends. I will be back again to try more selections from the menu.
