Small place, fantastic view. The coffee was solid but the bear island shrimp and grits were really good. It is a really laid back atmosphere and worth the trip by. Thanks for the great view and amazing breakfast!!

Just got off the plane and made a mad dash to see the sunset. That landed
Us at the Safe Harbor /Salty Mike's - Marina Variety Store Restaurant. We ordered the shrimp and grits with collard greens, thin sliced green fried tomatoes, and toast. The Shrimp & grits were bit salty, but overall all .... very tasty. Our waitress was fast and cheerful. ***Beware, the cinnamon buns are soooooo sinfully GOOD!
Thank you ....for a very nice experience!

I was in Charleston for four days. This was my favorite restaurant. This is the only place we ate at twice.

Had a great breakfast. Crab cake Benedict and shrimp and grits with gator was so well cooked. Gator was soft and delicious. They also validated our parking pass.

1st time here, and we went two-day in a row for our breakfast meal. The food is hometown cooking and well prepared. Service is slow, but worth the wait. We enjoyed both meals. Each meal was different and I assume that is because there was a cook preparing the food each day. They need to work on service as the servers definitely don't pay is attention to their tables closely. Outside of that great place.
Recommend for sure

Whomever was cooking the day we went was def in their element! I’ve never had shrimp that good! We got the alligator and the boys scarfed it down with no issues. The side salads were impressive bc they use a mix of leafy greens for the base. The staff there was amazingly sweet as well! And the view was perfect for the end of a daycation beach trip without a reservation. This was an amazing find. I’ll definitely be returning!

First time at Marina Restaurant. In Charleston to visit college Sorority Sisters. We had Saturday Brunch. The restaurant is small but cozy.

Very pleasently surprised by this place. One of the few places in Charleston with a great view of the water! They had a Cuban as a special and it was one of the best I’ve had. Service was good.
Excuse the dinner action shots.

Saw them on dinner's, drive-ins and dives. Great food, harbor view. We had a veggie plate and shrimp po-boy for lunch. The wait was about 15 minutes on a Wednesday.

Unassuming restaurant with great friendly young staff and delicious southern foods. Awesome prices for such good food. Will definitely repeat and try breakfast. Paid parking is validated!
