The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. Best prices too. We recommend this place to everyone!

They never miss with these fried crabs. Theeeee best in Charleston. Breading actually is like fried food and not "batter-y" or "doughy". Some other places have the batter like hush puppy thick. They actually CLEAN the crabs to perfection. If you want your fried crabs actually be "fried crabs" like if you were getting fried chicken-then this is the best place to get them from around here. Customer service is good with the ladies in the kitchen- I guess I'm a regular lol

Love Marvin's! Seafood was great! Makes you feel like you a regular even when you are from out of town. We will be back!

This establishment is very small and gets crowded quick. BUT that's for a good reason!! The cooked food is delicious and better than some of the seafood restaurants in town. You can get fresh seafood here throughout the week/weekend. The kitchen is open during the weekday only. Be aware that the fresh seafood is somewhat expensive depending on what you are purchasing. The reason for the four stars; they don't pick up the phone and transfer it to the kitchen. I was on hold for 30 minutes and when I arrived, there was no line. What's the point of having a phone line to the kitchen and nobody is going to take orders over the phone? On another note... if I were you I would still go try the food out! It's delicious!

" REALLY FRESH Seafood! Nice assortment of local fish and Shrimp. They will fillet whole fish when requested. The lunch options are incredible with friendly cooks who " aim to please" with fresh lightly battered options.

When I visit Charleston I have to stop here for live Blue Crab, shrimp and red rice. Price is the best depending on market. They rarely have male crab unless they just sell out before I get there.

Driving by Martin's yesterday my mom and I automatically added it to our list of spots to stop at. And we are so glad that we did! Marvin's is not the largest or prettiest spot, but it has amazing things going on inside. Upon walking in you are greeted by the scent of the sea. To the left is a line of people waiting for fresh seafood and to the right a line waiting for prepared fish and other items. My mom and I got in the prepared food line. She got the fish plate with rice and green beans and I got a side of green beans, a crab cake, and a hushpuppies. Everything was so good! The fish was fresh, green beans were pipping hot, and the hushpuppies were thick and warm! I wish I would have ordered a larger size of green beans as they were so good. The crab cake was thick and warm as well--the stuffing, omg!! I am sad that their kitchen is closed tomorrow The staff is also very nice as well. They are happy to answer questions and make the ordering process so easy! While waiting for our food I hopped in the fresh fish line. Unbeatable prices! I got a half a pound of scallops and a half pound of jumbo shrimp, cost me less than $10! A must go to when in Charleston!! Put this on your list now!

We ordered a bushel of crabs for the first time- the staff at Marvin's were incredibly helpful! They talked us thru the best way for safe transport, how to mix seasonings and gave us tips for cooking! They were all I credibly helpful and the crabs turned out amazing!

The seafood here is so fresh! As soon as you walk in, it literally smells like you've walked into an ocean. Prices are incredible. You can get a good amount of crabs, shrimp, and oysters for really cheap that it's impressive they're making money. We did want to try some of their kitchen items too, but their kitchen is closed Sunday and Monday. Just gives us an excuse to come back next time we're in the area!
