Welcome to Saltwater Cowboys on Historic Shem Creek

Since 2017, Saltwater Cowboys has been Mount Pleasant’s go-to destination on the iconic Shem Creek for Lowcountry favorites, seafood and slow-smoked BBQ. Our laid-back waterfront restaurant and bar offer unbeatable Charleston harbor and marsh views, making it the perfect spot for happy hour, live music, private events, or a casual night out. Whether you’re here for oysters, cold cocktails, or the best sunset dining in Charleston, our welcoming atmosphere and authentic Lowcountry flavors will keep you coming back.

The food was fantastic, drinks were great and the staff was very friendly!
