    "Salad" bar
    Ashlyn S.

    Our new favorite local spot! Everyone is so friendly it's a very welcoming atmosphere. The food is amazing! Definitely recommend the chicken salad and turkey subs! Pimento cheese is also to die for! And they have sundrop on fountain so I am extra happy when I come because it's hard to find.

    The calabash club
    Danielle J.

    First time to Calabash Deli, but won't be the last. I grew up in north Jersey and this place is legit! Three of us stumbled upon this deli while on our way to do a little shopping in Calabash. My friend ordered the calabash club, and the other ordered the grilled cheese and chicken pot pie soup. Both really enjoyed their sandwiches and the soup was plentiful enough for a second helping the next day. I had the roast beef melt and it was absolutely delicious!! Everything made fresh including breads. To go we ordered the salted caramel cookie (which didn't make it past the parking lot lol), the French toast and triple berry muffin and a loaf of bread. They were all amazing!

    There's a reason the line is long and the parking lot is full when you drive by to stop here for something to eat. Stopped here for a sandwich and was pretty excited to learn they had several types of gluten free bread I could choose from. I ordered a Rueben and it was perfection. The corned beef was shaved and delicious. The sandwich was balanced with flavor and piled high. It's all about the dressing in a Reuben and it was spot on. The bread was toasted well. This is a great spot to enjoy a deli sandwich.

    Great chicken salad! Solid deli with quick friendly service and consistently good food!

    The customer service here is immaculate they are so nice and helpful with the menu. Such a great ambiance for a family to have breakfast or quick lunch. We went here for lunch and picked up muffins to take home. We got the French toast muffins, a banana nut, and a chocolate chip muffin. I got the tuna melt and my friend got the grilled cheese. Both were excellent!

    The Godfather (this is half the sandwich)

    Stopped here for lunch for the first time. Quaint little deli that definitely has that little town feel. Nice outdoor seating area, too. I ordered the tuna melt and a side macaroni salad. It was good, but I felt the tuna salad could have used a little extra Mayo for my taste. Was a tiny bit on the dry side, but the flavor was really good. Macaroni salad was good - perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I like that you can order different sizes, so I ordered the smallest cup just to get a taste. My friend ordered the Godfather. She said it was average, but no complaints. Pickles were crispy and delicious! Grabbed a menu on our way out for our rental house. We'd definitely return to try other options!

    We had the Godfather and Chicken Philly and were both amazing! A must try! We plan on coming back!

We were served by the owner, Nick, who made the visit even better with great hospitality. I had the Apple Butter Biscuit Bottom, and everything was cooked perfectly. The biscuit was crisp on the outside but still soft on the inside, the bacon was cooked just right, and the eggs were perfectly fried hard. The apple butter was amazing and really brought the whole dish together. My wife had the Awakened Bacon Filet Sandwich, and it was also cooked perfectly. The steak was a perfect medium well with just the right amount of pink, and the flavors worked really well together. I also tried the Blackberry Bramble Mimosa, and it was mixed perfectly. It had great flavor and was still nice and strong. Overall, Toasted was a great spot with great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

I had seen a tv spot about their new offerings of dinner, I knew I had to try them. We played golf up near Calabash, we had the opportunity to stop at Toast. Their menu offered a wide variety of their creative options. I chose the Shrimp Cherie, my wife chose the Slammin Salmon which was prepared with a couple of ingredients she couldn't have. They made suggestions on how they could alter the dish to satisfy her dietary needs. We both thought our meals were over the top. The service was fantastic our server was attentive but not a pain. The owner was very friendly stopping by a couple of times. The patrons were mainly local, the owner knew them well. His warmth radiated through the restaurant as the evening went on. My only regret was it took me so long to try Toast. It may be a bit of a drive for us but it's well worth the trip, we will be back very soon.

Typically, when I come, it is with a larger group so we have to sit inside. For anyone wondering, you are likely always going to have a wait. And that's okay! There is a wonderful beach and Christmas shop right across the parking lot that you can peruse - I promise you can kill at least 45 minutes, and the meal is well worth the wait. This time, since it was just my friend and I, we decided to sit at the outdoor bar, which is first come first serve. We were quickly seated, so it worked out perfectly. One thing I will say is that this patio is in the direct path of the setting sun, so just have your sunglasses ready. I ordered the Sarita Margarita, which is my favorite cocktail they have. It is like a fruity, boozy slushy. Absolutely delicious and perfect after a day at the beach. I always get the Hurricane Chicken. It is my absolute favorite meal. If I were to have my choice of my last meal on earth, it would be Boundary House's Hurricane Chicken. When you order an entree, it comes with a side salad. My recommendation to you is to get their house raspbery vinagrette, it pairs perfectly with this salad! Now, the Hurricane Chicken itself is this delightful combination of a chicken breast, crab cake, and shrimp with some delicious sauce on top. It is so creamy with the variety of flavors that three meats bring. In case you don't finish it all, it also reheats well for leftovers the next day. Parking: there is a large parking lot with plenty of spaces. If you're ever in Calabash, you have to stop in at Boundary House!

    Excellent find while travel through this area…read more Freshly hand-crafted eats with so many choices, you'll want to study the menu before ordering 'cause there's so many fantastic options. Limited hours: 6:00 AM- 2:00 PM. Caring staff makes sure your order is prepared in a timely manner! Popular spot for the locals there tends to always be a line. Many customers order ahead and carry out. That's when you know it's a great place! They're proud of their New York style of bagels and unique creations & daily bakery delights. We saw a BBQ sauce blended bagel & so many more combinations of different blends. The sandwiches look delicious, as well as their cream cheese fillings. We wanted to get one but, we were meeting family for lunch in Myrtle Beach. Yet, we had to get some baked treats. Ordered the peach strudel, apple crumb strudel & butter cookie with apricot filling. The peach strudel was a little too sweet, the apple strudel was absolutely amazing and that butter cookie was literally the best thing ever! It wasn't the hard cookie crunch most are made. It was a soft, delicate light pillow of perfection. I could have ate a few more and refrained from taking a bag "to go" LOL Note- Many other local finds from jams to spreads. Can make great gifts. *They have on-site parking. *Specials on day old goods and daily discounted prices if anything is left over from a few days before. Highly recommend this adorable little store.

We've come here every single year for his birthday, and it has become a very special tradition for our family. The setting never disappoints -- the restaurant sits right on the marsh and the views are absolutely beautiful. With the sunny weather and peaceful scenery, it made for the perfect backdrop to celebrate. We started with several appetizers including the Scooby Snacks, Boom Boom Shrimp, hummus, and the Board Meeting. Every single one was exceptional and truly exceeded our expectations. For entrées, our table enjoyed the filet mignon, fresh sea bass, a cheeseburger, and the fried flounder -- all cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. There was also live music by Johnny White, which added such a nice touch to the atmosphere and fit perfectly with the beautiful setting. But the real star of the evening was our waiter, Luciano. He was one of the most incredible servers we've ever had here. At one point my son accidentally spilled cocktail sauce on his shirt, Luciano didn't skip a beat He immediately stepped in to help clean things up, brought hot towels, and even brought club soda to help remove the stain from my son's shirt. He handled everything with kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. He also helped us celebrate in singing Happy Birthday to my son and even included a candle in his birthday pie. Luciano was attentive, compassionate, and truly the ideal waiter. He left us with a lasting impression and made an already special birthday celebration absolutely perfect. We look forward to continuing our yearly tradition at The Oyster Rock and hope to see Luciano again next year!
