Look at the fresh catches of the day- fresh and beautiful
Schon C.

It's a restaurant that you hear about and once to enter you remember forever. This is the spot a very nondescript , not fancy restaurant that has amazing fresh out of the ocean seafood. The dinning room lacks the decor you will find at some of the touristy locations many of you will visit. It's not about the decor, it's about the amazing way your fresh seafood is cooked up. We ate and shared the Deluxe platter- it has more than enough food for two adults. The flounder was out catch of the day along with shrimp, oysters, scallops, fries, crab balls, and grouper bites. We also had fried okra, green tomatoes, and hush puppies. All delicious and made perfectly. I don't care if you feel decor means the food is great, you are missing the experience of dining at this restaurant. The staff was a delight to talk to and we were taken care of as quickly as we came in. This is a restaurant that will live in our vacation memory forever until we return again. If you live local stop reading my review and head over immediately. You live here and should experience this food. Thank you for the best meal we had while vacationing in Myrtle beach hoping your business blooms faster than my review. Can't believe it's been 20 days since leaving this wonderful spot. I am still thinking about their food

Crab Cake
Brandy M.

The staff was great and the location was super convenient, but the food was just ok. Not enough seasoning used so the fish was bland.

Fried Flounder (Fish of the Day Special $17.99)
L L.

We loved our dinner here and service was excellent. You order and pre-pay at the counter for dine-in and staff will deliver ordered food to your table. The fried Flounder and Whiting (Fish Special of the Day $17.99) were perfectly cooked. Their accompanying fried okra, hushpuppies, and fried shrimp are the best!! The hushpuppies were moist on the inside. The fried shrimp were delicious and lightly breaded with seasoning. We returned the next day for Fried Oysters dinner and Grilled Grouper dinner which were delicious. I bought an entire key lime pie (last one) which was homemade. It is not fancy, but who cares because this is the best seafood restaurant in Myrtle Beach! Please note that they open daily at 11:00 am not 10:00 am as displayed in Yelp.

Homemade crab cake. Ohhhhhh...
Ruth B.

Absolutely fresh and delicious fish and steamed crabs!! Friendly and busy and completely home grown. Got there for lunch and M had the fish special with grilled flounder (or catfish or whiting) , 6 shrimp and hush puppies and French fries. I had a dozen of the sweetest steamed blue crab and made enough of a mess for the pickiest (pun intended) crab lover. No bar but Pepsi products and to M's delight - cherwine. They were getting oysters in that evening and I'm seriously tempted to go back tonight!! I read earlier that this place only has fried fish and this is NOT the case. $2 extra to grill or blacken anything and they serve oysters any way you can imagine. Something else very impressive, the cook (owner?) who was as sweet as can be said that they had gotten a huge fish shipment in that day and he had been cleaning fish all day to supply restaurants in the area. So, this is where Myrtle Beach restaurants go for their seafood!!! I don't think that can possibly be a better recommendation!!! Update: I'm not proud. We were back for dinner the same day. Hoped for oysters but they didn't come in. Tomorrow??? Anyway, had scallops and fried green tomatoes and homemade crab cakes. The breading was light and crunchy and divine on the crab cakes. The homemade tartar sauce was unlike anything I've tasted and absolutely delicious!!! ) I will try to recreate at home). This place is an absolute MUST for its fresh seafood and incredibly friendly people and homemade everything. Tomorrow. Oysters.

Country Boil, just shrimp
Keith B.

Amazing food, fresh seafood, great service, best seafood in this part of Myrtle Beach, I had the crab cake with potatoes and corn, perfectly cooked, no remoulade sauce but a tarter sauce that's better! My wife got the low country boil, it was perfectly cooked, shrimp spot on, outside looks a little rough but the food is delicious and staff was great! Give it a try!

Crab legs, hush puppies
Karen W.

Fresh and tasty scallops and crab legs all freshly made while we waited. Sweet potato fries and corn were great. Owner made the food and then came by our table to ensure we enjoyed it. Don't let the outside of the building deter you! We will be back'

Crab cake
Cynthia N.

Well this place is not the most attractive inside . The lady behind the counter was nice and friendly . The food was fresh fried the French fries were delicious we had the halibut sandwich it was fresh . I think since we are use to fish fried in corn meal this wasn't to bad just not what we expected. The crab cake was not like a Maryland crab cake which we are use to so it needed additional seasoning for us but it was a nice portion . More like an order and take out spot .

Fried whiting, shrimp, hush puppies, & fries.
Emily B.

A very unassuming place, but yum!! They have a ton of options and it's cooked any way you'd like. We splurged and had the whitefish, fried. It came with 6 shrimp, fries, slaw, & hush puppies. We added a side order of fried okra and the mini crab cakes. Everything was cooked perfectly and not over seasoned or dried out, like most of the chain restaurants. This is a definite must try if you're in the area.

All the reviews are correct. If you just want good fish go here and skip the high costs for seafood every where else.

This place was good considering it is at a resort on the beach on the east coast. To me that means…read morenot the best. Five stars for service and attention. These people were great. Hated paying to park. But the server and host were awesome. The crab legs were ok about a three on a five scale. Just not flavorful or loaded The tomatoe bisque was flavorful and the fish and chips were great the fish was light and tasty. The slaw was a train wreck. Whoever thought to make it savory instead of sweet missed the mark. The flavors of the slaw clashed with the rest of the plate. The fish was tasty and the chips were seasoned well and plentiful. We could return here and feel ok with it.

From the moment we walked in the restaurant and Jake welcomed us. We knew we were in for a treat…read more Jake set us at an oceanfront window. There was also live music the evening we were there which was just lovely. Steven, our server shared the evening specials and was very attentive to us throughout our meal. Our table enjoyed delicious margaritas, the Autumn Power salad - fresh spinach, dried cranberries, fresh apple slices, and a refreshing dressing. The crab legs were delicious, two clumps with butter and lemons. We also had the shrimp and fries- 8 large shrimp lightly breaded with shoestring fries. Our land lover enjoyed the Reel burger- a juicy combination of chuck and brisket cooked to order. The bun was toasted and held up well to the burger. Overall the experience was very enjoyable. While the food was good. It was the excellent atmosphere and service that took the experience over the top for us.
