The
Williamsburg HomeTown Chamber was proud to present the December Image Award to
David and Tammy
Casselman owners of the Casselshack Restaurant in Kingstree. The Casselmans have
a long history in food service with David working at the age of 13 in
restaurants in Murrells Inlet and Tammy’s family running the Surfside Pier for
15 years. Tammy said that restaurant life is hard but when it gets in your blood
it’s difficult to stop. However, the Casselmans did suspend their food service
for about three years after running the Seafood Shack in Andrews and later in
Hemingway for 20 years. After a three-year hiatus the couple opened the
Casselshack at 215 Thurgood Marshall Blvd. in Kingstree in 2010. Since opening
the local restaurant the Casselmans have added an additional dining room and
front porch for out door dining. Plans are to enclose the porch later
for a bar. The
restaurant offers good service, a great staff and features seafood, chicken,
sandwiches and salads. Tammy said even though their specialty is seafood, they
serve a “delectable” Prime Rib. She added that the best seafood seller continues
to be the bite size shrimp dinner. Mrs. Casselman reported that business remains
steady and that she already has several Christmas Parties planned during
December. Casselshack is open Monday through Friday, 11 am until 9 pm; Saturday
4:00 until 9:00 pm. Food can be eaten in or taken out. Call 355-3663 for takeout
