“ This place is awesome! Lots of parking and a fun oversized beach chair for pictures out front. Our server was friendly and the food was fast and delicious! I'd definitely go there again!! ”
“ Food and atmosphere were really great. Would recommend the brisket and burgers but truthfully all of our food was very good. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed. ”
“ Hush puppies were the star of the show. Cajun shrimp alfredo was delicious, and I really enjoyed the Cuban. Nachos were good, too. The chips were very light and had a nice flavor. I was a little disappointed in my cocktail. I really couldn't taste the alcohol in it. It really just tasted like juice with some gingerale. ”
“ Great food and portions. Quick service. Paul Grimshaw Band did not disappoint. We can only come once a year when we visit from Ontario but always come back. ”
“ My favorite place at Murrells inlet. Where else can you go that family/kid friendly plus have a bar atmosphere, live bands, quick service. I mean this place runs like a well oiled machine. Ate here several times. Wait times can vary. We were told 35 minutes but got seated in just 10 minutes. Watched live music while we waited. It is loud but you can still talk. Every waiter/waitress is spot on. Great attitude. Food is great. I’ve tried just about everything. Pulled pork was a little dry to my liking but chopped brisket is very good. They do serve breakfast on early hours. Truly if you are in or near this place stop in 1,2, or 3 times. Worth it. ”
