Front of restaurant
Kristen R.

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!

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.

Very nice restaurant with outdoor seating We had goat cheese croquettes and the special of the day-- crab stuffed flounder stuffed with broccolini and rice It was pretty tasty Waiter was friendly and everyone smiling Inside had cold a/c so I chose outside for a more warm temperature as they had ceiling fans

what a phenomenal addition to front street can not get over how beautiful the interior was, how lovely the staff was and how absolutely delicious the meal we had was. the salmon was incredible and paired perfectly with the blanc spritz.

New dinner menu!

New menus at 631! Come check them out as well as our new summer cocktail list! Nothing beats dining in the river in historic Georgetown.

Small plate filet with mashed potatoes.
Cm W.

The food was delicious! The small plate filet, and crab patty were wonderful. The mac and cheese side was large enough to share. And the flourless chocolate cake was rich and delicious (recommend sharing this too). The bartenders were friendly and helpful. The drinks, including the frozen cocktails and strawberry spritz were amazing!

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

We had an absolutely delicious meal while visiting Georgetown! First recommendation-be careful not…read moreto order too much! The portion sizes are amazing! We started with grouper fries and they were really good. They also brought bread and cornbread-the cornbread practically melts in your mouth! I ordered hush puppies -they were really good, but we didn't need them in addition to everything else! For our main course, we had the shrimp and scallops sauté and the yellowfin tuna. For sides, we had collard greens, sweet potato fries, sautéed vegetables and mashed potatoes. I would not recommend the sweet potato fries-they were from a frozen bag. The other sides were all perfectly cooked. The tuna was some of the best I have had-kudos to the chef! For drinks, we had sangria and it was good but too sweet. I ordered a glass of Pinot Grigio to calm the sweetness. We loved sitting with a view of the water and the boats. They have a really nice set up and I highly recommend!

This is a place that the locals recommend and frequent. We were made aware of it by asking locals…read morewhere they liked to eat. We wanted a good seafood place with a casual atmosphere and without the high prices of some other seafood restaurants in the area. River Room proved to be exactly that. A great view of the water, excellent seafood and really good service. It's probably in the top 10% of seafood places with a casual atmosphere and reasonable prices that we have eaten at. If your desire is similar to ours, try this out.

My wife, parents, and I went here to celebrate our wedding and had an absolutely amazing dinner…read more The staff was so kind and made us feel welcome from the moment we came in. Every dish felt curated and intentional. We started with the crab dip and corn bread and both were delicious. The Miso butter that comes with the cornbread gave it such a pleasant Umami note. For dinner we had the Chicken, Scallops, Pork Chop, and Shrimp and Grits. The carrot puree that held the scallops was so smooth, sweet, and rich. It complimented the scallops perfectly. My shrimp and grits were fantastic. The grits were the perfect texture, and the shrimp cooked to perfection. The bone in pork chop was perfectly cooked, was seasoned so well, and extremely tender and juicy. I think I was most impressed with the chicken, sweet potatoes, and bacon jam. It's hard to explain but the bourbon bacon jam almost tasted like how it smells when they smoke a cocktail, in the best way. The sweet potatoes tasted incredible and balanced out the savory chicken. I really can't recommend this resteraunt enough. From the food, to the service and the ambiance, everything was fantastic. I've dined at a handful of Michelin starred resteraunts and the overall quality and completion of the dishes here easily competes and surpasses those experiences. Thank you for such a wonderful dinner

For the main I decided to go with the scallops. They were cooked well but could have been seasoned a bit more but still good. One item of note is that the scallops meal is a bit light so if you are really hungry, get a side item or maybe something else. The service was really good. She provided suggestions, checked on us often and was very knowledgeable. A good experience overall.

SoCo Grille - Wedge Salad with Grouper

Came to SoCo for a nice lunch outside on a beautiful fall day. Not real busy downtown along front…read morestreet on a Tuesday, which was perfect from all the tourist places in MB. We're greeted quickly and asked to sit outside where they have about 8 tables with some shade along Front Street. There are a lot of items on the menu at SoCo, so don't forget to look at the backside! A couple orders came out and I almost ordered one of the burgers, but I decided to try something different.. Ended up ordering the John's Island Buttermilk boneless chicken with pepper gravy and blue cheese cole slaw! Plus you also get to order one side dish! Ordered the grits and palmetto cheese as my side, but there were plenty of great options to choose from. My wife ordered the wedge salad topped with grouper, but our server wasn't sure if they had grouper available that day. So, about 15-20 minutes later, which was fine as we were enjoying our alfresco experience our meals arrived. Guess they had the grouper available. My wife loved her salad and the grouper was perfectly cooked. I was surprised at the size of the fish tbh. My wife would not hesitate to order hers again! My John's Island, was sooooo tender with a great crust and just enough pepper gravy. The chicken was still very warm and by not smothering completely the chicken with the gravy, it was still very crispy. The blue cheese slaw was good, but should have been on the side of the plate not with the chicken sitting on top of it. You kinda get confused with the pepper gravy on top and under the chicken is the blue cheese slaw. I was a little disappointed with the grits. The grits were not as warm as the chicken and I think it was in part due to the cold palmetto cheese, which I mixed with the grits. The grits were good just not the right temp imo. Overall a really good meal on a beautiful day, what more could you ask for?

We were not quite hungry enough for lunch so we opted for a few appetizers and Bloody Marys…read more We started with an order of fried okra served with roasted red pepper bacon jam. It was delicious, but I would suggest that they serve the roasted red pepper, bacon jam more at a room, temperature and not served cold. We also ordered the fried green tomatoes. They were on top of a serving of grits. The tomatoes themselves were pretty good however, the grits did not have any flavor. I was not a fan of the sauce that was served with them. The Bloody Marys were pretty good but seemed like the mixer was watered down alittle. Great olives and okra with the Bloody Mary! Service was good!
