The Carolina Palms Santee — Restaurant in Manning

We originally rated them very high on our 1st and subsequent visits when 1st opened and told others they had to try it. However, went with a group from church (10 people) last Friday about 6pm. How disappointed we all were. This was our 4th time going, and could be our last. Actual Food Service was horrible. Some were served their food and finished meals before last ones were actually finally served their meals. Never received salads and bread with meals as we had before, yet others around us got some. Shrimp scampi was pasta water and watery tasting and shrimp were small and only 5 small compared to past. Stuffed shells were nothing like what I had ordered and loved in past. Had meat in the shell stuffing and sauce had watery,and had vinegary taste, not the nice red tomato sauce as in past. Another order was lasagna like rather than the stuffed shells. No grated cheese offered. Filet was suppose to be medium and was brought well done and not juicy. Others had mixed reviews on their salmon and seafood dishes too. Definitely Not a good meal nite. Why they changed sauces and meals we don't know. They maybe new but this experience has hurt them.We had so high hopes for this place and all of us left...

I loved this place Richard was so down to Earth with us. He made us feel like family... Then we found out that he came from western NY like we did. The food was amazing. We all ... My husband, my daughter and her boyfriend my granddaughter were very impressed. Can't wait to go back. Price: was between $10-25 so worth it .. I hope for the best for this place to continue they are also hiring for more servers. They have karaoke on Friday's and live music on Saturday.. The seating was very comfortable very roomy as well all in all in all the experience was awesome!!! Keep up the good work guys I wish the best for your future hope to go back soon I will update as soon as I go back and try their buffalo wings from Buffalo. I had their beef on wick roll. The rolls are homemade fresh. they were very soft and beautifully done. The next time I will have to take pictures. But on Google maps they have pictures of there food and also their business. Lots of parking however for handicap they do have handicap parking but I did not find a ramp into the building there may have been one but I did not see it. Also it is like a resort thanks Richard and staff for making us feel like...

Wow, just wow. After seeing the new menu Carlos and I had to give it a try. We went last Wednesday and splurged a little. We first tried the fried calamari. All I can say is perfection. Then we had the salmon dinner, scallop dinner, and the stuffed filet mignon dinner. Every thing was cooked to perfection. It blew my mind. I hadn't had great tasting food like this since I lived on Hilton Head Island. Everything was so delicious we had to go back again last night. This time I ordered the sea bass. It had a blackened salty taste, which thats what blackened is, and I'm not a fan of blackened, but wow, it was so freaking good, and the sides complimented the blackened to a T. Carlos had the shrimp Alfredo i believe and he enjoyed it. Kudos to the chef, along with the awesome owners Richard and Linda. Thank you all. Ive found my spot. Every single bite I took I was going mmmm this is so good! And i mean...
