Wow...just, wow. Amazing service and amazing food. Our waiter, David, was personable, knowledgeable, and very attentive; honestly, one of the best waiters I've ever had. American Wagu Flat Iron was amazing, mashed potatoes were the best I've ever had, and cheesecake was great. I can't recommend this place enough. The caveat is, it might look closed from the outside because the bar is through a set of doors behind the dining room, and I guess most people eat in the bar area. We almost didn't come in because we thought they were closed, but we are so glad we did come in. One of the best meals/dining experiences I've ever had. read more

My wife and I went to the Crooked Oak tonight for dinner. It is our anniversary and we have made going there on our anniversary a tradition, the past few years. This evening was a very good experience, mostly. Let's get the less than positive out of the way. We made reservations for 5PM. We were out and about and got there about a half an hour early. Walk in, spoke with the hostess and explained we knew we were early. (By the way, there were very few people in the restaurant at the time). The Hostess, an older female with longish greying hair, huffed then showed us to a table. She at least took us to an outside table as we requested. She never identified herself. And honestly we felt as if we were bothering her. Ok, enough of that. Now the positive. Our server was Taylor. This young man was awesome. He was upbeat and personable. Very pleasant and wanted to communicate, not just serve us. My wife and I asked for water, and ordered an appetizer of their Mac and Cheese balls. They were awesome. Hot, fresh, stuffed with pasta and warm flavorful cheese. Next we ordered cocktails. My wife ordered a Painkiller. Me an Old Fashion. Taylor recommended I try their version, New Fashion. Made with their mix of a house Bourbon. Man it was good. And the Painkiller? Let's just saw I held my wife hand, and guided her to our vehicle. For our main courses, my wife had the chicken and sausage pasta. I had the Bison Ribeye. Both we would order again without hesitation. The pasta dish was huge. With two breasts and numerous pieces of sausage. Over Fettuccini style pasta, with a lite and flavorful red sauce. It tasted fresh, and rich. She could only eat about a third of it. The rest came home. I ordered my Bison medium rare. The Chef hit it perfectly. Beautiful red meat in the center, nice and warm. So much flavor, and tender. With it I had the potato of the day. They were mashed with the skin. Full of butter, milk, and seasoned. In addition I had a side of creamed spinach. Very rich and deep. The cream tasted similar to a cheese sauce. So good. I brought nothing home. Finished the entire meal there. In addition, because it was our anniversary, the gave us a very nice card. And a piece of cake for dessert. Champaign was offered, but neither of us drink it, and didn't want to waste it. If you haven't tried Crooked Oak Tavern, you are missing a very nice experience. read more

I happened to be in Conway for a week, on my own. One evening I went to Crooked Oak & fortunately heard about the "secret room" in the back. The host very kindly escorted me there & what a great surprise! The Tap Room host, Joanne, saw me looking a bit lost & greeted me. I didn't want to take a whole table as I was just there for a cocktail. Joanne suggested one of the leather lounge chairs & got me settled. She made me feel very comfortable. I'm old school enough that as a woman I felt awkward being in an unfamiliar town in a bar full of strangers. Joanne reassured me & checked on me throughout the evening. I had a fabulous Old Fashion, enjoyed the multiple TV's & ended up conversing & laughing with a whole family who were also visiting. All around, a great experience that all started with Joanne taking me under her wing & making me feel comfortable. I will definitely go back the next time I'm in Conway! read more

AMAZING five-star food from the first bite to the last! We've eaten at Crooked Oak Tavern TWICE while visiting our daughter at Coastal Carolina, and we repeated our meal exactly because it was that good. When you're already planning to order the same thing again, that says something! My daughter says their loaded baked potato soup is the best anywhere. I had the French onion soup, and it was so delicious it made me wish they had a French dip--I just know they would crush it! The crab dip tasted super fresh and came in the perfect portion size, and their Dirty Myrtle fries are another favorite of my daughter's. But let's talk about the STEAK. Their 22-ounce bone-in ribeye is absolutely UNREAL. Incredible flavor, cooked perfectly, and the kind of steak that makes you stop talking for a second just to appreciate what you're eating. I would put that ribeye up against ANY steakhouse in the United States. Any of them. It's that good! This is a steak worth coming back to Conway for. We're always so full when we leave that we've never even made it to dessert! Crooked Oak Tavern is my favorite restaurant in South Carolina, and it's not even close. If you're visiting Conway or Coastal Carolina, put this place on your list--and come hungry! FIVE STARS all the way! read more

We had such a great experience at Crooked Oak Tap! The vibe is really cool from the moment you walk in and you can choose between the main dining area, which is super cute and welcoming, or head to the back pub area, which has a more laid-back feel. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. And the food? Fantastic. We literally cleaned our plates. The burgers were cooked perfectly to each of our requested temperatures, and the house-cut fries were absolutely delicious. They also have an excellent draft selection! We'll definitely be back! read more

We were extremely pleased with our visit. Though we got there around 3:30pm or so, service was pleasant, friendly and efficient. We enjoyed the beer, crab cake dinner, and dessert! The restaurant has a rustic look to it. In the back, not advertised much is a huge beautiful bar! They have our vote for recommendations to anyone in the area!! They are a farm-to-table restaurant. read more

Excellent meals, great flavors and plenty to eat. Service was spectacular, sorry can not remember the waitress name but fantastic. Ambiance is needed. The stark concrete walls are boring. The roof beams are very artistic and interesting. Please put some wall decorations up. Conway has some great artists, maybe you can show their work. read more

Very good bison rib-eyes (rare) but very expensive. My son and I split scallop appetizer (2) and 2 desserts crème brûlée and cheese cake. It got really expensive when we started trying different bourbons. The two bartenders were outstanding. We ate at the bar. Terrific night. $500+ but hey it was my son. Ambiance is what you would expect at an upscale steakhouse. read more

Waitress was great! Made wonderful recommendations and took great care of us. Food was delicious. Manager even stopped by table to make sure we were happy. read more

How to start off with it was a little pricey, but I would do it all again. Service at the bar was really good. Justice was very knowledgeable and patient with us. My wife got the steakhouse wedge salad with steak and she ate every bite cause it was delicious. I got the Dijon flounder sandwich and fries which again was very good. Bloody Mary was the best I've had all weekend. Did not expect $11 for the wicked Weed Freak beer, but it was tasty and different. Can't wait to come back. It was very comfortable and calm this time of day. read more

Stopped for lunch while checking out the city of Conway's transformation to the City of Halloween . We sat at the bar and the bartender Justice was great, we grabbed a couple burgers and a drinks . The burger was perfectly cooked I'm an old butcher and picky when it comes to meat , these were like I made them myself. The wall of whiskey/bourbon is a sight to see as well. Very comfortable seating in the bar are , there's also a main dining room and patio seats as well. read more

Great service, new(er) location is awesome. Wife usually has the Bison burger or ribeye. I lke the bison ribeye as well. Lunchtime burgers are tasty as well. Little pricey, but supporting farm to table vs giant cattle farms.....well, a no brainer. Keep up the good work! read more

Don't think that just because this is an extremely expensive steak house that you are going to get a quality steak. The service is terrible and the food and drinks even worse. Don't waste your money. there are so many others around here without the enormous price tag. read more

The menu is an over priced Applebee's. The only good thing is the bar in the back. I love my hometown of Conway but this place needs an upgrade to stay relevant. Mac and cheese tasted like it came from Conway Hospital read more

The food is very good but it is way too expensive for me. That is the reason I gave the score that I did. Value is most important to me along with quality, then value. The Crooked Oak did not meet that criteria. read more

The Crooked Oak Tavern is a gem. My party and I sat in the tavern part in the back. On one side a comfortable couches lined the table, on the other chairs. Once we were seated we were met with our very attentive server, Taylor. Taylor was very friendly and helpful. He kept us engaged. He went over the specials we had, talked us through drink orders. Shared some of the reviews he has heard from other customers, shared his own dining experiences there and left us with a smile as he put in our drink orders and appetizers. From that time we got our drink orders to the very last bite of our meals, Taylor made sure we knew that our comfort was a priority. He checked several times to see if we had everything we needed, before telling us that he would leave us alone to eat. He miraculously showed up when our drinks were empty to offer us another. He displayed patience when my older friend needed help reading the bill, and showed her how to use her tap to pay. Taylor never made me feel rushed. I never felt like he was just there for a job. I have never gotten better service. While it was my first visit- a couple in our party are frequently eating there. They said that Taylor is just one example of the consistently great service. The food brought them there the first time (and it is fantastic food), but it is the top-tier service that really set it above for them. I agree with that assessment. I can see why they go almost every weekend. If you are in Conway and want to be spoiled for a while, stop by Crooked Oak Tavern. read more

Maybe my expectations were too high for this spot. The good: beautiful scallop dishes, friendly and attentive service, perfect Creme brulee. The not so good: cosmo wasn't well chilled so I had to add ice to it, my NY Strip was tough and fatty, interior/atmosphere was underwhelming, my $10 side of mushroom peppercorn sauce tasted mostly like cream. For their prices, I expected a great steak but wouldn't be likely to return for it, maybe for the scallops. Hope we caught them on a bad night. read more

This was my go to restaurant for sometime. Went on Valentines night and was absolutely disappointed. Many menu items were unavailable including a beer that we had the previous dinner there that they were out. Between watching 2 managers standing in the front on the kitchen entrance never checking the food going out and absolutely not even going to the tables making sure everything was OK. Just so disappointed how much Crooked Oat has changed and not for the better. I've been holding back my review for a while because this is the one restaurant I always recommended. Maybe it was a off day however Valentines Day Dinner is more about the atmosphere as well as the food and it should be one dinner where you shine. It almost seemed the staff didn't want to be there and in the end we didn't either. I'm sorry for this poor review. read more

The food was outstanding and the staff was great. Felt welcome from the start and had a great experience. Will definitely go back.

Everything good food great service all around amazing. Great menus at a descent price you get what you pay for loved it. Give it a try we will be pleased. read more

VERY expensive restaurant. Food was good, but not truly great for the prices. Everything is al-a cart, so the price keeps going up. Wait staff tried to be comical, but under neath he was making fun of family asking questions. Ambiance was nice. Would only suggest this restaurant for extra special occasion or if there is someone in your party that is willing to pick up the entire bill. This is definitely not a place for a nice, casual meal mid-week meal. read more

Very nice place. Went there for brunch on Valentine's Day with my wife and had a very good time. Staff were all super nice, polite and friendly. Even though mimosas were not on menu they made them for us anyway. Alligator bites and French onion soup were very good apps. Christopher's Cuban sandwich was very tasty. Portobello mushroom dish unfortunately lacked flavor. Overall a good experience and we will be going back for dinner sometime read more

OBSESSED!!! I have been craving the scallops since I went!! The food is the best I have had in the area. Our server was great, I can't remember his name since we went a month ago. I know he is from up north originally and also bartends. He was phenomenal!! The inside is a tavern with a relaxed local bar feel but with 5 star food and service!! I will definitely be back soon!! read more

World class in every respect. Will compete with any fine restaurant in any major city, and as good as any and better than almost all. We had a truly great, amazing, exceptional meal. Matthew, we thank you for making us feel at home and for guiding us through the menu and helping to make this a great experience. We sampled and shared within our party, so tried the steak, the ribs, crab cakes, mac'n cheese, fries, various veggies, and it was all superb. Hoping to be back in Conway and to visit it again. Great experience. Thank you. read more

Food was OK. Had the Bison burger which was great. Asked to sub the side for the Truffle Fry Trio which cost $14 and was more like over fried potato sticks with a dipping sauce. We were disappointed because we saw the fries on yelp and assumed it was the actual fries with 3 dipping sauces. Scalloped potatoes were also subbed as a side and cost $14. They were good. But not for $14. When you sub a side we expected an up charge, not the full cost of the side! I should've at least had my actual side in addition. The menu lacks descriptions and our bartender didn't have any answers or offer any information. The other bartender explained everything after we got the bill so we obviously got someone who didn't know or care. The bar atmosphere is very nice. Might return for a drink but definitely not eating there again. read more

The split plate charge is ridiculous. It is owners decision to do as he sees fit just as it my decision to take my business elsewhere. Just wanting to make people aware of this! read more

Had a delicious supper with clients. Food was delicious and service was great. I had the scallops which were tasty. The orzo pie it was on was deli and really worked well with the scallops. They have a large bourbon list and a decent beer list. For some odd reason I opted for an Old Fashioned. Should have gone with a stout since they had one as well as a bourbon barrel ale. Meet place with challenging parking though. We parked in the back and it was a maze. Not pickup friendly. read more

Holy cow! I don't know what this amazing little steakhouse is doing in sleepy little Conway, but I'm so glad it's doing it! Sister and I came in for lunch and we were treated like the only and most important people in the place, served amazing food (she had fish sandwich and I had blue cheese burger), and just had a grand time! My parents live in Conway, and sadly I live in San Diego. So I won't get to visit Crooked Barrel again soon, but the next time I'm in town, this will be my first stop: after my parents-of course. read more

Beautiful day to sit outside at the tavern for a delicious meal with three great friends. Jake waited on us and was very attentive to our table and refilling our drinks and making sure we were pleased with our meal. Soup, salad and burgers were wonderful. We shall be back!!! read more

I'm going to start with the bad. My order was not what i ordered. I ordered an American burger and collards what i got was a burger and fries. Server never asked if there was anything else, my ice tea melted. Now the rest of the story, the burger and fries were great needed mustard and ketchup, but very tasty. The reason i ordered collards is due to my experience with other restaurants and bad fries, the fries here are great tasty and fresh. The place is large and lunch was quiet. This place would have gotten a 5 star had i ordered fries and got ketchup and mustard. As a side note the menu needs to use a larger font in a dimly lit restaurant. read more

Love this restaurant. They have the most amazing food and sitting outside is so beautiful on their outdoor patio. At night they have lights and music and it's so relaxing and beautiful to sit outside. I always go for the fish sandwich which has been a go-to for many people and everybody raves about their food. They have very interesting food and it is all locally raised and all farm to table. read more

Wonderful menu ... fresh ingredients. Ordered adult grilled cheese sandwich, basil soup, French fries and an avocado chicken salad bowl. Absolutely delicious... only drawback was the dressing for the bowl (honey mustard lemon vinaigrette). Honey mustard overpowered it. Ordered lemon wedges to squeeze on the arugula. Perfect compliment with a little salt and pepper. Service was great, quick and friendly. Go again? Absolutely!!!! read more

I really enjoyed my visit. It is college themed. The service was great and the food was really good. We will definitely go back!

We loved the outdoor dining with the patio lights and we were even able to have our dog with us. The food was good! We enjoyed the Mac and cheese bites and steak! read more

The new location of Crooked Oak Tavern is just a few buildings down from the old one. I loved the old location but it was small and crowded. This new location is so much better. The dining room is large with plenty of tables. There is also a separate bar room with even more tables. Every server we have ever had at the Crooked Oak has been fantastic. They are always attentive, friendly and efficient. Food here is top notch and is definitely among the best in the Myrtle Beach area. Last night we just wanted to stop in a check out the new bar during Happy Hour. I'm glad we did because we decided to order some of the Happy Hour Appetizers. We had the Fried Carolina Shrimp and the Loaded Dirty Myrtle Fries. The shrimp is Calabash style; lightly battered and fried. Absolutely delicious. We've had the Dirty Myrtle Fries before and loved them. This time we tried them loaded. Definitely a hit as well. If you go, make sure to check out their Happy Hour Specials. read more

This is a remarkably good restaurant. We are visiting from out of town and I visited this place based on its Yelp reviews. It lived up to my expectations. The food was delicious-- I had the dirty fries followed by fish. The fish was just okay, actually, but the fries were great. My husband had shrimp and grits which he said were excellent. The staff were professional and friendly and efficient. If I'm ever in Conway again (a long-shot) I will definitely return. We visited without a reservation at 6:00 on a Friday in summer and we were seated immediately. read more

Excellent meal here. I had the flounder with rice and veggies..Jamie was attentive and really excellent taking care of me and my Party. This is a restaurant with farm to table type fare, everything fresh and natural.

Foodcwas great; I definitely recommend this place for dinner! read more
