Lunch menu was great. Shrimps delicious. Food served quick and hot. Jimmy Buffet atmosphere was on point.

This is our first time here. A friend recommended so we thought we would give it a try. We both had the margaritas and they were very good. The happy hour peel and eat shrimp were amazing and to make everything perfect, they had Stone crab. It's so hard to find and they were done well and served with warm butter. The key lime pie was average. The only thing I would mention is it would be nice to have cocktail forks with the stone crabs. Our server Isabel did a wonderful job. We will be back. Ps there was a fun group playing mostly oldies. read more

We were in the area looking for a lunch spot and this wasnt it. Its a nice spot because they have parking. We were seated immediately and they even had highchair which was a plus but that's where it ended. The service was extremely slow even with the restaurant not being busy. The food was just ok, im sure its a better bar scene. read more

Food was good. My friend ordered the raw oysters and gator bites, I tried the gator bites. They were good. I had the shrimp tacos and cheesy grits, I dunno it sounded good. They were ok. I like my shrimp cooked a little more than most. But that's me . Two people had the fish and chips, with Mac n cheese they said it was really good. And another had the smash burger. She liked hers. All in all everyone was happy. The service was good. And the ambiance was good , you could have a conversation. Two of us had happy hour margaritas, they were good. read more

Food is amazing and staff and service top notch! Tony the owner is such a great host and has lots of family working so they all care so much about you having a good time! White queso and chips are great start with a $5 real lime juice, not a mix, margherita! Mussels, grouper bites, peel and eat shrimp are Best Buy at happy hour, huge portions! Good music, what's not to like! Give them a try! read more

Best Fried Seafood Platter in North Myrtle beach hands down!!! Some restaurants just bread the seafood, but Tony the chief and owner adds some great seasoning to all the fried seafood that just brings it alive in your mouth! The dish to order is the full boat. It includes fried shrimp, clams, oysters, and fish bites. It also comes with hushpuppies and a side. Order like a local and ask for the happy hour menu. The hidden gem on this menu is the stone crab claws. They also have $5 margaritas and an assortment of THC drinks while they are still legal in SC. Their Fried grouper bites are also great, and they have raw bar selection and steamed and broiled selections too. read more

Sadly this place was a disappointment. My husband and I both ordered the shrimp tacos and after waiting a long time for our food, they came to the table cold. The shrimp also looked undercooked, so it was off-putting. The restaurant had an odd smell, and we were sat by a large portable fan that was loud. I wouldn't recommend. read more

Excellent! Food (seafood, meat, & produce) were of high quality and cooked to perfection. The wait staff, Brandy, was very attentive and very knowledgeable about the way the food was prepared. She was very accommodating to make certain that our personal requests were met. The ambiance was very laid back and nothing extravagant but still comfortable. You should go eat there, you will be very glad you did! read more

Great time tonight playing music bingo. Our server Ashley was amazing. The best server EVER! The food was really good and priced right. We will be back again soon. Pro Tip: The bottomless items are great. Tortilla chips are fresh made in house. Salsa was excellent! read more

Service was extremely slow. Food was brought out all different times. One of us was done eating and another didn't even have food yet. Gater bites were good. But other food was basic. ​​ read more

We walked in and there was no hostess stand. Three employees walked by and ignored us. I finally asked one if we seat ourselves and she said no. Hostess finally came (one of the employees who initially ignored us). Four of us and they only had three menus available. Took 10 minutes before our server came to get our drink order. Took another 15 to get them. It was another 15 before she came to get our food order. Waited an hour and never even got our salads/appetizers so we left drink money on the table and left after asking what the hold up was and got ignored read more

Just plain good and they have Chocolate Crown Royal.Daddy can cook a mean batch of the fried taters.

The drinks were bad. The food is terrible. The service is worse. The place is loud, dirty and chaotic. Just a terrible experience.

Great food and service as always.. The staff is always very nice, and they make sure we are happy with all that we ordered. Just a nice restaurant that welcomes everyone. read more

It's mainly bar food and the restaurant is extremely loud. It also takes entirely too long to get your food. We waited over 15 minutes to get the bill after having to ask for it. Then another 10-15 minutes for them to pick it up. read more

Went for lunch. Great smash burger and fried grouper. Very friendly and attentive server. We'll go back again.

Very slow on service. Not very friendly! Food not bad but not the greatest either! I am a local and will not be back!!!!

Great place! Stopped in for lunch Charlie the bartender was great. Met a few locals had a blast speaking with them. Pork BBQ and steamed oysters were great. Definitely recommend. read more

Food Was Delicious, Prices Were Very Reasonable. I had an AWESOME Reuben and She Had Shrimp and Scallops. My Girlfriend Said Her Dish Was Delicious, Too. Drinks Were Great . $5 Margaritas Were Very Good. The Only Issue We Had, A Little Slow Taking Our Order and Getting Our Food. However, We Were Only One Of a Couple Of Tables Outside. They Were Slammed Indoors. No Big Issue, Will Certainly Be Back Only Three Blocks From Us. Great Music by Jeff James !! read more

We had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The service was poor for a number of reasons. Waters were not brought to the table when asked and had to be repeatedly asked for. We ordered a pitcher of margaritas because we were informed by the waitress that they would serve 4 for $16 vs ordering 4 individual margaritas would be $20. However, there was so much ice in the pitcher that only two drinks were served out of it. When we requested we please be charged for just 2 drinks, which is what was served, instead of the pitcher we were told by the server and manager this was not possible that they weren't able to discount. They also failed to provide us a kids menu when asked, forgot a whole meal that was ordered which eventually came out 10 minutes after everyone else's dishes. When the food did get served it was cold and unimpressive. Overall, the experience was bad. The service was poor, the food was incredibly average, the ambiance was miserable - there was no air conditioning inside and was hot and humid. Nothing about the experience was positive. I would avoid and recommend basically any other restaurant in the area. read more

Food was fantastic - Drinks very good and reasonably priced - Staff was Awesome - Service Great and Greater! A must to drink and eat and a lot of Great Music. Over all atmosphere was Tops. read more

love the dynamic duo of gary lowder and harold smith. love the drinks and food too.!

My wife and I recently visited Castaway Key and were very pleased with our visit. We both started with a generous pour of white wine which was delicious. Since we were in somewhat of a hurry we skipped appetizers and went directly to entrees. My wife ordered a cod BLT and I ordered a full boat (fish,shrimp,oysters, and fried clams). The prices were amazingly reasonable (my seafood platter was$12.50). However, the service left much to be desired. I received my meal, our friends who were dining with us received their meals and my wife got nothing. Our server went immediately to the kitchen and explained the problem but the kitchen did not seem to care. She followed up with them several times to no avail. Finally the manager appeared and the problem was fixed. He also comped us all a round of drinks and my wife's meal. Hopefully the kitchen will do better next time. The food was delicious and worth returning for. I would strongly recommend outside seating if the weather cooperates because the noise level inside was close to unbearable. Even with these few hiccups, we will definitely return for delicious food at reasonable prices read more

First time here for lunch. Food was decent, service a little slow, as it appeared they were short on staff. We had the fish and chips, menu said it was cod but it seemed like it was just some style of white fish. Portion of fish was 2 small pieces with fries and cole slaw. Don't know why it didn't include a couple hush puppies as they were included with other fish dishes. Cole slaw dressing was kind of bland. NEGATIVES: They need to pay a little more attention to details, ketchup bottle at the table was empty, Tabasco bottle was filthy and looked like it was very old. Also, when we arrived we were told to seat ourselves but found that several tables were marked "reserved", but no one ever used them in the 30-40 minutes we were there. Several groups that arrived after we were seated waited at least 5-7 minutes before anyone acknowledged that they were there (not one employee was in the front of the restaurant where customers were for that long!) read more
