Q: What exactly is The Bait Shack?
A: The Bait Shack is our casual, outdoor, backyard-style patio area right here on Whiskey Road. Instead of waiting until you get home, you can take your freshly steamed Low Country Boils and seafood selections straight from our market counter to the patio and dig in while it’s steaming hot!
Q: Can I bring my own drinks to The Bait Shack?
A: Yes! We are proudly BYOB-friendly. You are welcome to bring your favorite beer, wine, or beverages to pair perfectly with your fresh seafood feast while you kick back and relax with friends and family.
Q: Why should I eat my boil at The Bait Shack instead of taking it home to cook?
A: Two words: Peak freshness! Seafood stops being perfect the longer it sits in a container. By letting us steam it and eating it right on our patio, you get it at the absolute pinnacle of flavor and temperature. Plus, you don’t have to worry about overcooking it on your own stove or dealing with the messy cleanup afterward. We do the work, you get the flavor!
Q: Do I need to make a reservation for patio seating?
A: No reservations needed! Seating at The Bait Shack is completely first-come, first-served. It’s a relaxed, informal spot designed for you to walk up, order your food at the counter, and find a seat.
Q: Is the full JC Seafood menu available to eat at The Bait Shack?
A: Absolutely. Any of our freshly steamed-to-order market catches, sides, and signature Low Country Boils can be enjoyed out on the patio.
Q: Can I order food to-go if the patio is full?
A: You bet. Everything we serve can be packed up hot and fresh for takeout. If you’re short on time or the patio is packed, just call us ahead at (803) 648-6303 to place your order for pickup.
