    Crab cakes and hush puppies
    Paige F.

    Loved the vibe here and the food! Surf and turf tacos are amazing. Services was great too!

    Shrimp and crab dip

    I always get so excited when I know we are going to Dead Dog. We sat at the bar as usual and ordered cocktails. A cosmopolitan for me and something for him. We started and shared the boo boo bites. These are always delicious. Then I ordered a cup of chili and he ordered the egg rolls. My chili was good but I don't remember it being so spicy. No room for dessert. If you see me there, stop by and say hello.

    Scenic. A great spot on the inlet. All the ideal menu items for this type of saloon on the water. I loved my crab cakes and French Onion soup. Others had blackened fish sandwiches, fish tacos, and shrimp and grits. All good. There for a cold spell in November. Back patio was sunny, warm and buzzing at lunch. Fast turn around time and good eats...woof woof.

    Fantastic restaurant, a definite must visit! This restaurant is covered with pictures of dogs that have passed away in a celebration of life and the general companionship of our furry friends. It reminded me a lot of a Día De Los Muertos style of remembrance. You might think this would make for a sad ambiance, but it was actually very inviting! Decorations of cute dogs on the windows, hanging lights, and cartoon style tabletops. The live music was very good too! The food was great. Complementary hush puppies were seasoned well accompanied by a delicious honey butter. The fried fish and shrimp were tender, crispy, and salted perfectly. No tails or veins on the shrimps. The chicken wings were decent, a bit dry, and sides were nothing too special. Certainly not worth paying a la carte prices for, but they did come with the meals. I was absolutely astounded by how fast the food came out considering the entire place was packed. There were so many employees working that the service was still excellent. The ambiance, location right on the docks, great seafood, bars, and live music make this a must for any families or people looking for a popular place to grab a drink and watch sports

    Fish taco with cilantro, lime rice I

    Friendly nice folks food was real good and seasoned the fish tacos came with coleslaw and cilantro lime rice. We got spicy Korean barbecue chicken wings. They wasn't spicy, but they were flavorful and they tasted really good. Our server was excellent. They had live music and it was phenomenal the performers sound really good you gotta give this a try that everybody there was really nice folks.

    Fried green tomatoes with goat cheese and Thai chili sauce
    Kate M.

    Date night on the Marsh Walk with delicious fried green tomato appetizer (with goat cheese and Thai chili sauce), and the 3 seafood entree. Good service on a busy, football Saturday night. Two big bars, an outdoor patio, and big dining room. They are on a pause for taking pictures of loved fur ones that have gone over the rainbow bridge, but love seeing the pics on the wall!

    Fish bites
    Kyle C.

    Was very surprised by all the dead dogs on the wall, but probably should not have been. My wife really enjoyed the goat Island sunrise drink. The fish tender bites were good with the tartar sauce was not so much. The tender bites were very, very disappointing. Some overcooked and tough "filet" over some oversize toast. The crabcake sandwich was disappointing as it was the very small side of over. Seasoned cold fries. The Caesar salad was good, however. The service from Zac was outstanding. And it was a bit chaotic, but with the live band playing it was a pretty good atmosphere.

    This place was great! They bring hush puppies to your table as soon as you sit down, they were delicious. Food was good, our server was very attentive. The walls are covered in photos of customers beloved dogs who have crossed the rainbow bridge, which was very sweet. We came back in the evening for drinks and live music and got to experience HWY 17 rocks. WOW! They were so talented. Best live music I've ever experienced...and with no cover charge. Our night here was a highlight of our trip we will never forget.

    Had to come back since now, our son and his lady have moved to the area. Donovan was very friendly and attentive. Food was delicious once again and to be able to be outside on a beautiful day overlooking Murrells Inlet capped off our day at Brookgreen Gardens.

    The rainbow wall of dogs  are honary memories of beloved pets that have passed over the rainbow bridge...

    The food is astronimical!!! I had a really delicious turkey and avocado wrap that was awesome..The hush puppies as an appetizer were phenomenal and the cinnamon butter that came with them was so good. Service very prompt and friendly...A real recommendation if you want a great lunch!!!

    This is a return visit. We went twice last year bc we had a gift card. However, the wife liked it so much that she wanted to go back again this year...which is a big deal for us bc we usually try to stick to new places...always wanna try something new. Parking can be tricky if you go when it is busy. There is a small lot right by the restaurant and then an overflow lot across the street (Warning: this lot floods very quickly and easily when it rains. Huge puddles form and make it even harder to find a spot and to drive/walk through the lot.) Upon entering, you'll notice lots of photographs...literal pictures of peoples' dead dogs. IMO, a little weird...but that's neither here nor there. The food has always been good. Wife loves the pulled pork...but especially the mashed potatoes that come with it. Delish! This time I tried the Crabby Cale sandwich. Good choice. However, the real MVP is always the complimentary hush puppies that come as an appetizer. Dipped in some of the honey butter...OMG! Service has always been great too! This time, our server, Julia, was amazing. Incredibly helpful, sweet, and polite. She stayed on top of everything and did it with grace and a smile. Kudos to Julia! We will probably see you again next year DDS!

    So happy to have stumbled upon Costa when visiting over the holidays! Fine dining and quality…read morerestaurants are difficult to find in the area but Costa had a wonderful menu, aesthetics, and options! We were seated at a table in a nook that felt semi private which was great for conversation and privacy. We had the house salad and crab stuffed mushrooms. The server said the salad dressing options to be balsamic vinaigrette although it was just balsamic vinegar which we would have went with something else should we have known but not a big deal. The crab stuffed mushrooms are delicious and I'd recommend an extra order if it's more than 2! The bread was fresh and crisp. As for entrees- my parents raved about the veal parmigiana- they loved it. I had the scallops with risotto and the scallops seemed a bit undercooked and the risotto overpowered with garlic and extremely filling. I think a smaller portion would have done just fine. Overall, I think it's a great addition to the area and option!

    Wow what a disappointment! Came here to try after reading…read moresuch rave reviews and received less than satisfactory meals. Dover scallops and risotto - over cooked risotto (almost mush consistency), burnt butter on the scallop sear. I decided to send the dish back because the scallops were not seared well and undercooked in the middle. Server comes back after talking to the kitchen and the response was "if I was sure I wanted the scallops to be remade because they are a high cost menu item" or something to that line. Ended up ordering a sausage pasta with broccoli rabe, and that was equally dissatisfying with the lack of balance with the bitterness of the rabe and pasta sauce. What a disappointment for a restaurant that prides itself on local seafood.

    Wonderful dinner at Driftwood's. We seated promptly, and the server was friendly and welcoming…read more We had cocktails which were mixed perfectly. We both ordered the 8 oz filet mignon, with steamed veggies and baked potatoes. Our food came out quickly and was delicious. The ambiance was relaxing and comfortable. Would have dinner here again.

    I'm rather late in my Yelps about my most recent jaunt down to Myrtle Beach, SC but hey, here we…read moreare just the same. Now, Driftwoods Seafood & Steak is most known for both of those items in their branding but according to my family who I was visiting, they also have an amazing brunch and for Father's Day we opted to head over there directly after Sunday Mass. Driftwoods is about a 20 minute ride from their location and while we arrived just before 9AM there was already a reasonable amount of people waiting ahead of us. Once opened everyone was seated quickly and our server brought us that much needed coffee and it hit the spot. According to the Folks, Driftwood's is known for having an omelet section and you pick what you want in it and they bring it back to you. I was not going to pass this up as I enjoy making omelets when I can find time to do that and I went with cheese, mushrooms and jalapenos. Since there was assorted protein options in the larger buffet I didn't need to add one to the omelet. While I waited to did hit the buffet and selected a small amount of some of their offerings. I find it best to only take a little bit with an all you can eat buffet since that eliminates any waste. I went with some bacon, sausage, cheesy potatoes, mini pancakes and a couple of french toast sticks. With the omelet being eggs, I left the scrambled eggs for other customers. Everything was super tasty and the staff that I encountered across the board were friendly and happy to make sure you were taken care of. They were quick to clear the tables of used dishes so you could go get another and everything was done with a smile. Good hospitality is a guarantee of a return visit. Of course I'd be going home soon so that was not an option for me, but I do hope to return on the next visit. The only downside was Dad's disappointment about their not having corned beef hash this time. He got over it quick enough though and its not going to make the Yelp rating change. If you're down in the area give it a try, I left happy and very full. Nice work Driftwoods. Keep it up.
