Tadpole Seafood - Greer

We decided to try a new restaurant called Tadpole after frequenting the Flounder for many years. The shrimp, flounder, and chicken dishes were all fantastic, as were the side dishes. The portions were very generous, and the drive to the restaurant was well worth it. Overall, we had a delicious meal and would highly recommend it to others looking for high-quality seafood.

I only gave two stars because the staff was super friendly! What I ordered was not it smh . I ordered calabash shrimp, and usually that consists of huge fried shrimp, not here!I got shrimp particles , and we drove 45 minutes for crab legs, that they no longer serve , due to price inflation.I'm assuming they were just having a bad night, because I've only heard great things about this place.

It was freezing cold inside. I mean colder than outside. How is that even possible. And we all had sweaters on. They set us in the very back of the restaurant. Like literally there was a wall separating the back from the whole restaurant. Apparently it's where they have groups and parties. There were only 3 of us and a lot of empty tables throughout the restaurant. When we asked why they would skip 10 free tables to put us in the very back of the restaurant where we can't even see other people or the restaurant itself...we were told that I server had just started her shift and they were trying to give her some tables. Very awkward and I don't even want to mention what I felt like the reason was. 2 out of our 3 plates was ice cold. They did not make the food fresh. I ordered the captains platter which literally had the most food on the menu...it all came out so fast...there was no way it was cooked fresh. Even our french fries were cold. Not lukewarm from sitting under a heat lamp or something...just cold. The other plate has piping hot fish because she ordered cod and they had clearly just made it. I had been wanting to try this place for months since I'm new to the area and they have a good selection of seafood. Definitely disappointed. Every other seafood place has been better...by far. Would not recommend and would not go back. If you're looking for good fresh seafood...go to New England Seafood instead.

I'm so disappointed! I spent way too much for the little bit of food we got. We ordered 2 large shrimp plates and they put it all in one box. There's only a handful of shrimp if that much. I used to love eating from here. I don't know that I'll be back for a while. I wish it would allow me to post a picture but for some reason I can't. Do BETTER TADPOLE!

The restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere and serves delicious seafood. We were visiting from out of state and our friends, who brought us here, mentioned they have never had a bad meal in many years. All five of us were extremely satisfied with our meals - the seafood was very fresh! The service was attentive and friendly. I will definitely be returning the next time I am in town!
