We popped up to Georgetown for an event and went to Franks for dinner ahead of time. We didn't have a reservation and they were busy, but the hostess staff was helpful and found us seats at the bar. It took us a bit to decide since they had a lot of really good-looking options. I enjoyed they had a small plate section and got the crab cake and grits. VERY good. Less filling than we usually get here in SC. We shared a shrimp cocktail for an app. Big shrimp! My fiancee got the lamb chops with mashed potatoes. He said they were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. (And he's picky on lamb chops) We shared a carrot cake w rum sauce. The cake soaked it all up and was amazing. We are looking for another reason to pop up to Georgetown just so we can back!! read more

If in Georgetown you really need to eat here!! We arrived for a late lunch and it was packed! We were greeted right away and had about a 10 minute wait. We were seated on the deck outback with a wonderful water view. I think this might have been the best table in the restaurant! We started with the parmesan baked artichoke hearts at the recommendation of our server. They were piping hot with a hint of lemon and topped with parmesan and breadcrumbs. Served with crostini ( we did have to get a few more crostini). These were absolutely delightful! I could have probably made a meal out of this! We all had burgers and fries for our entree. The burger was seasoned and cooked perfectly! It was topped with cheese, bacon, tomato, lettuce and charred onions which really made this burger even better. I highly recommend the burger!! It was so delicious ... I forgot to get a picture before it was completely gone! The next time I am in Georgetown this will definitely be tops on the list of places to eat. read more

What a delightful meal in this beautiful restaurant! Every bite was delicious and the small plate entrees are perfect. A 4 oz filet with sides was as good a piece of meat as I have Ever had! If you are near Georgetown this should be on your plan read more

Great restaurant with a beautiful view. We sat inside next to the kitchen. The kitchen is only blocked off by glass which kept my 4 year old very entertained watching the chefs cook and seeing the fire. Mulled wine sangria was fantastic. Tomato basil soup was creamy, almost like a vodka sauce. Delicious. Veggie linguine was very tasty. There was a kids menu online but we were not given one while we were there so if you're going with kids, check it out first. kid friendly vegetarian friendly read more

The restaurant is in an old historic building and the usage of the space is one of the best concepts I've seen so far! We sat in the "open kitchen area" and were able to watch our food being made. While it was busy and a smidge loud, it was so intriguing to see the well oiled machine of staff that Frank's has. The food was spectacular! We had the Parmesan Baked Artichoke hearts and the Goat cheese Croquettes to start and delighted with each bite. Then our main courses were served - I had the Petite Filet with mashed potatoes and Au Poivre sauce which was absolutely fantastic. Each bite perfectly balanced and delicious. My co-worker and the special - Quail with wild rice and Brussel sprouts and after tasting h the sauce on my steak asked for another little cup for his meal which elevated the already tasty dish! To top off the night, I had Key Lime Cheesecake and he had the Carrot Cake with Rum sauce. I had to take 1/2 of my cheesecake back to the hotel because it was such a beautifully large piece - so, lunch dessert today it is! Hoping to be back in the area for work next year because I'll for sure be back! read more

Nov 2025 My wife and I were visiting Myrtle Beach and decided to take a drive to the small town of Georgetown, SC to look around. While exploring the shops downtown, one of the shopkeepers asked what brought us to town. When we said we were just checking things out, she recommended the Swamp Tour and even called to see if it was running. The tour was excellent and a wonderful way to see the history and beauty of Georgetown. Afterward, the tour guide suggested we try Franks on Front for lunch -- which is how we ended up there. When we arrived, there were no seats available on the porch, so we sat on the front patio. The setting was pleasant with plenty of people-watching. Our server came by for drink orders, and for starters we ordered the house-made cheese biscuits, served with butter. For lunch, my wife chose the Paneed Chicken Breast with 631 marinara, linguini, and Parmesan. I ordered the 631 Burger with bacon jam, charred onion, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, and sea salt fries. The biscuits took a little while, which I assumed meant they bake them fresh -- they were good, though I personally think they would be even better with a savory jelly or jam. The real issue came afterward: our entrées took almost 45 minutes to arrive after the biscuits were served. It seemed likely our server didn't put in the food order until after the biscuits came out. My wife eventually got up to ask about our meals because several tables around us, who arrived after we did, were getting their food, dessert, and even coffee while we sat waiting. What made it more frustrating is that our server rarely checked on us. She only came by at the end to ask if we were finished so she could bring the check, while frequently attending to the table beside us. Overall, the food was good and the restaurant itself is nice, but the service on our visit was disappointing. Based on our experience, we'd probably try a different restaurant next time we're in Georgetown. read more

Frank's on Front is a family spin off of Frank's and Frank's Outback in Pawleys Island, but a very different menu and vibe. A historical remodel on Front St in Georgetown gives you an elegant but fun atmosphere for locals and tourists alike. The menu online show the variety from Seafood to Steak including a popular Quail dish. The small plates allow you to enjoy a 3 course meal. The desserts are not to be missed. The Key Lime Pie and Carrot Cake were the favorites passed around our table of 7 ladies. We had a great Front St window table. The restaurant is small and narrow inside but they have Front St tables and a patio out back with The Winyah Bay view. We enjoyed the Petite Filet that everyone raved about, crab cake , a vegetarian plate of sautéed vegetables, a salad with fried oysters. The appetizers were the cheese biscuits and pimento cheese. Martinis and wine started the meal. Frank's is A nice addition to a small town with big charm on Front St. read more

Great location and terrific Low Country faire. Riverside patio dining as the weather permits is a treat! The staff are friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. We've brought out of town guests here on a number of occasions and have not been disappointed! Everyone has their food preferences, so I'm not going into detail here, save to say there is a delectable choice for every palate if you enjoy the Low Country selections of fresh seafood! Highly recommended! read more

We went to Frank's for lunch, which is always a 10/10 for food and service. After we left, I realized I had accidentally left my AirPods on the table. When we went back in, the table had already been cleared and they were nowhere to be found. I assumed they were gone for good. About an hour later, I received a call from the owner letting me know they had been found. She explained she wasn't there when we initially came back, but once she returned, she reviewed the cameras and realized my AirPods had been wrapped up in the linens during clean up. They took time to investigate, tracked them down, and saved them for me. The level of care and hospitality is truly commendable- and honestly, how many places would go that far? Amazing food, amazing service, and people who actually care. Can't recommend Frank's on Front enough! At this point it's more about the effort than the AirPods read more

If you're budget conscious this restaurant is not for you. It's pricey for small portions. You're mainly paying for the vibe since the food is good, but not worth the cost. If you don't care about the price tag then it's a great restaurant! It was cozy inside and on the back porch! Good service and fun cocktails! See prices and portion sizes before going. read more

Had lunch at Franks on Front with friends while visiting Georgetown. In a great location near the waterfront in a historic building on the main drag, the vibe is chic but comfortable...I enjoyed the roasted romaine salad which was perfectly prepared and the crab cake chuck full of sweet, fresh crab on a bed of tasty, moist polenta. It would be hard to find better cuisine anywhere!! Our waitress was sharp, knowledgeable and completely capable of handling our table of 7!! I hope I have the pleasure of returning soon!! read more

Excellent petite filet. They have a nice wine list with Cabernet, Pinot, Zinfandel, and blends Great service read more

Very busy! That tells you how locals feel about Franks! Food is excellent!! We were on the closed in patio. Narrow restaurant so to get out back you walk directly by the kitchen serving counters. Highly recommended! read more

Food was delicious and Will, our server, was so nice and accomadating to our 6 yr old grandson! We love the small plate options for lunch. Our fried oyster starter was perfect for lunch. I love the outdoor seating overlooking the water! So nice to have a "Frank's" experience so close to us!! read more

Everything on the menu is outstanding. I recommend sitting out back and watching the Sun go down. I eaten the oysters multiple times, always my favorite on the strand, they dont overbread them so your unable to taste the oysters, Franks on front, doesnt make them that way, Lightly breaded, and briny. The Artichoke dip was very good, the Curried Shrimp was outstanding, the Crab Cake over grits, best I've had in ages, and dont get me started on the flourless Chocolate Torte, Oh my Lord, complete decadence. Very rich, split with someone else. 10/10 stars read more

Amazing food and service. Sat outside to enjoy the view. Wait staff was friendly and very responsive!

Amazing restaurant. Great service , great food , great vibe and great place all around. You can sit on the sidewalk and enjoy the people of Front Street, inside is a beautiful space with exposed brick and a beautiful bar or the back patio with its amazing views of the harbor. This place is hard to beat! You must start with the meatballs and save room for the flourless chocolate cake. read more

This restaurant was just perfect! I had such a delicious lunch with a beautiful river view. I couldn't decide between the small plate crab cakes or the spinach salad but luckily, I was able to order a half portion of the salad. It was fresh and delicious and the pickled onions plus the bacon and bleu cheese gave it the kind of interesting and salty flavors that I love in a salad. I'd definitely reorder this. The crab cakes were so good and had lots of meat. They were served on top of buttery, creamy grits that I'm already craving again! The mustard sauce wasn't overpowering and it was a delicious dish. Service was also excellent. This was one of the best meals I've had in a while. There are a lot of restaurants in the area but I'd likely return here over trying somewhere new because it was so good. I saw several people ordering burgers that looked great. I'd also like to try the crab Mac and cheese! They also had a roasted vegetable plate entree which sounded tasty if you didn't feel like eating meat or seafood but wanted something more than a salad. This was a charming spot, inside and out with quality food and great flavors. read more

Great new addition to the dining scene in Georgetown. Over several visits I've tried the pimento cheese, the fried oysters, the deviled eggs and the fresh catch ( which was flounder the day we dined) and all were exceptional. The cocktails are fun and the space is as charming as its young, albeit very restaurant savvy, owners. read more

Great fairly new restaurant in Georgetown by same owners as Franks in Pawley's Island.... Waiter told us they have been open for about 2 months. Nice little place right on the water. It has a nice back porch overlooking the Sampit River. I'd give it 4.5 stars for ambience. We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday and the place was pretty busy. From the hostess to the waiter, to the busboy and runners, everyone was super polite and friendly! Our waiter Max was especially helpful and provided excellent service!! 5.0 stars for service. We had the garlic shrimp small plate as an appetizer and two salads for lunch. Wife had the Mediterranean, I had the chopped salad. We both added fried oysters. Salads were excellent! 5 stars for lunch!!! We'll definitely have to go back to try dinner. read more

We enjoyed a beautiful day having lunch at 631 Front St. AKA - Franks in Front. The butternut squash is so good and it's that time of year to enjoy it again. I also enjoyed the seared tuna noodle salad and my other half enjoys the crab beat salad. Franks has grown to accommodate more customers but today a lunch crowd intended to the front sidewalk. The service and food is always great. Five stars and highly recommend. read more
