Mayflower Seafood Restaurant

We are new to Greenville North Carolina. we just moved here last November. this was our first visit to the Mayflower seafood restaurant. I grew up on good seafood in South Carolina. This is a definite oldie but goodie restaurant. The seafood is fresh, with a calabash style. The service was awesome. for this quality of food I was surprised at such the reasonable prices. even with the restaurant having a full bar liquor license. The bar didn’t seem to be in operation. There was a Very nice family feel. The restaurant even had 60s and 70s music playing, and not very loud so you could still be able to hear each other talk at your table. i’m hoping to Mayflower seafood restaurant Will be in business for many years to come. We will certainly be frequent customers.

First got our drinks and ordered a salad. Didn't get the salads until the food come out at the same time. Didn't like that, should have gotten the salad way before the main course. Ordered the broiled Mayflour Special. It had way to much butter on the plate of food. It had so much the food could have slid clean off the plate. The jumbo shrimp were not jumbos at all, med size at best. Over all I think I won't be ordering that plate ever again. Maybe fried would have been better.

The food was decent here, ive never really had anything too bad although at my last trip i tried something new, i got the fried captain Smiths combo with greenbeans and french fries, the combo comes with a nice amount of popcorn shrimp, dome oysters, some scallops, a deviled crab, and a pice of flounder. I dont have many complaints other then the deviled crab was salty and the greenbeans had no flavor, they wernt seasoned and by the taste they wernt salted or peppered, i had to do thst myself which isnt too bad, it alowed me to pick how much i wanted but still a little something would help them. I do have one more complaint though, the fried flounder was very thin and very very crunchy, there was alot of just fried batter on the ends which some people like but personally i dont.

The farther I go the better Mayflower gets I’ll start with customer service from beginning to end it was good better then most places nowadays they had everything I ordered and the food wasn’t burnt like some of the other Mayflowers dirty grease or just keeping in the fryer too long if your in the area this one is well worth the stop less your familiar and you already know

First and foremost I'm not saying this is my number one but it really makes a difference the atmosphere plays a big part in a restaurant for me it had old feel .... it needs to be remodeled anyway their food wasn't hot enough for me to start with the fish wasn't fried hard enough for me the scallops that are ordered was (frozen).... dried and rubbery awful very awful I ordered catfish, the catfish was mighty thin and I'm used to seeing catfish being a little meatier than that . The waitress was very nice and polite would I go back there and eat again...... NO thanks!

You get sooo much food for your money! The popcorn shrimp, hush puppy rings, slaw, and baked sweet potato for less than $10. So much shrimp on your plate you can hardly eat it all and it tastes great! Servers are polite and attentive to your every need. I think this place gets overlooked way too much. Check it out!!
