What locals are saying
Lawrence's Seafood Company earns its place on the IOP beachfront with a patio that backs up to a boardwalk, live music most nights, and a menu built around Lowcountry staples — shrimp tacos, bang bang shrimp, lobster mac, and the signature lobster roll that the owner originally put at the center of the concept. Service is a genuine differentiator here, with staff going well beyond what the tourist-strip setting demands. The recurring friction is consistency: shrimp and grits has drawn complaints about flat flavors and cold temperatures, the $30 lobster roll lands as underwhelming for some given its size, and portions overall feel modest against the check total — but when the kitchen is on, the crowd-pleasers reliably deliver.
