Waters Edge is one of my favorite locations on Shem creek. The fried shrimp platter comes out perfect every time (I get the grits and collards as my sides) and even better the shrimp are from a local company. Dont forget the tuna appetizer ! Staff is always friendly and helpful and provides other recommendations for the area. JC and Boston at the cabana bar downstairs are the bomb. **Also for the people who dont understand the parking, simply ask the staff after your meal to validate and you will get your money back has always been easy for me.
10/10 would highly recommend this location
