1 month agoFirst time in Manning SC. Some co-workers and I went to a funeral to support another co-worker. Afterward, we wanted somewhere local to eat. A quick Google search, and we are at Gullah Gullah Fish. It is located in what i assume in the downtown area (nice area with comfortable vibes). It did Manning justice! The staff were friendly and treated you like family. They take time and explain things and definitely give their opinion on what you should try (take their advice). They gave us some boiled peanuts because it was our first time in, and that set the tone for a flavorful meal. The Mambo Wings, which we were told was one of their more popular flavors, were great and kind of reminded you of sweet and sour wings. The coleslaw was fresh, my coworker said her collards were delicious, and the fried okra was fried crispy but right. The seafood rice was a perfect blend! The star of the show was the fish. The flavor was exactly what you would want. It was fried somewhat hard but still very good! If you are ever in Manning, give this place a try. They are kind folks cooking up some great food!

2 month agoWe had the wings and shrimp and grits. The food was amazing. They are a super nice family run business. My wings were cooked perfectly, juicy, and the Gullah sauce is an amazing sweet heat I've never had before. My wife's shrimp and grits were a welcome surprise to the traditional Cajun spicy kind. It takes a minute but everything was cooked to order and fresh. We will definitely stop there again when traveling through Manning.

3 month agoFirst visit. Had the fried flounder, seasoned rice, and collard greens. WOW, I am impressed. The flounder was perfection, no greasiness or soggy fry. The collard greens were delicious, the rice was OK. The serving is generous. Look forward to trying their shrimp and grits, and soft shell crabs. There are many options on the menu. Definitely recommend.

3 month agoI had recently came to this restaurant. There were many choices on the menu and so many sides to pick from. The workers at the Gullah Gullah restaurant were very nice, I wish I had gotten their names but I forgot. The choice of food I had picked off their menu was, a “Shrimp - Po Boy” and a side of “Hush Puppies”. The Po Boy had the best shrimp ever in it, and the hush puppies had little pieces of corn inside them. I had also came with a few other people. Three of the people, I was with had gotten the 9 piece wings each, and one of them chose BBQ, Honey BBQ and Blackened. They said that the BBQ and Honey BBQ were very spicy but the best ones they had. I was with another person that had got the “Snow Crab Boil” & Gullah Rice”, she did in fact loved it very much. The is 5 star place to me, would definitely come again.

4 month agoWhen I tell you these were the best wings I had ever had, I'm not exaggerating. THE BEST! We got the Jamaican jerk and Gullah flavors. The Gullah wings were the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. And even tho they were covered in sauce, they were still crispy. We also got the fried corn and seafood rice as sides, which were excellent as well. This is also a family owned restaurant and they are seriously so great! The service and food is top tier!
