We stopped in at an unusual time, around 3 on Sunday, for a very late lunch. Our server was a bit clumsy (splashed water and dribbled coffee), but extremely friendly and helpful. The restaurant features Maryland-style seafood, which is a little unusual for coastal Carolina, but it was delicious. We split a crab cake appetizer. The crab cakes were very... more

Oysters from raw bar were very tasty, Stella on draft, can't go wrong there. My entree with shrimp and scallops was yummy, s.o. not so happy with clams marinara but loved the mango cheesecake.

I was in a bad mood when me and my wife walked in. But when i walked out i was tickled pink. The food was really incredible. The beer was cold, and the staff was very friendly. I even bought a shirt! more

MJ's was a great treat for us. We are from Maryland and always looking for a good crab cake in the South, well we found it!
