We had a very nice experience at this location. The Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, Cheese Curds and Loaded Fries were great!
Wonderful experience, came for dinner. Everything was tasty. We got the cheese curds, yummy. Burgers picture are the fried mac and cheese and the dillyo burger. Service was quick. Beautiful view of the ocean.
When I tell you I rushed to write this review, I mean it! I’m not usually a big red meat fan, but once in a blue moon I indulge, and wow… this was phenomenal. Everything was so fresh and flavorful, and the service was absolutely top notch. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with beautiful views that made the whole experience even better. True southern hospitality shines through here, and the menu is so versatile that there’s truly something for everyone. This is not a tourist trap, it’s a must-visit spot you won’t forget!
10/10 all around!!!! This is our first time in SC, staying in Murrells Inlet. We happened to go to the beach for a few hours and typical south, storm hit us out of no where. Perfect location right on the beach with indoor or outdoor seating. Our server was SO personable and friendly, but unfortunately did not get his name. We are from out of town, he was very familiar with our area which is remote so very shocking. He gave us amazing food recommendations. We just wanted a drink and a quick bite so we shared a plate of fried chicken and fries. FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE (if you like spicy, ask for the peach hot sauce!!! WOW!) Other parties sitting on the patio even struck up a conversation - just an amazing atmosphere to be around. We will absolutely stop here anytime we are back in the area, no questions asked.
The burger was amazing. I would rate this place as one of my top spots for getting a burger. I had the burger with spicy dill pickle potato chips on it. I do have to warn you not to go here if you are a germaphobe or peanut allergies. The tables outside are slightly sticky and even though I watched them clean it just doesn't look clean. If you can get past a slightly dive bar look for amazing food, then I highly recommend.
