Found this highly recommended seafood restaurant on Yelp so we thought we'd give it a first time try. Restaurant has lunch and dinner hours so we went for dinner. Opens at 4:30pm so we arrived at 4:05 pm. We're so glad we did because there was already a line starting at the door with about 30 people already waiting. We took our place in line and waited for the 4:30 opening. Promptly at 4:30 we were seated at our turn to enter. Drinks were served by Courtney, our pleasant, friendly server with a great smile. The family owned restaurant was clean but smaller compared to the other huge seafood restaurants in the area. We ordered small plate of flounder (2) fillets, baked potato, slaw and a 3 item small combo with large (5) shrimp, scallops (3) and oysters (5) fries and a house salad. Complimentary hush puppies fresh out of the fryer. Probably some of the best fried seafood we've had in a long time. Seasoned great, hot but not a bit greasy as most fried foods. We ordered the small plates and it was a perfect portion for us. We didn't have any leftovers and filled with a great meal. We will come back and just remember to get there early. read more

Update: Visited Hoskin's for lunch. I ordered scallops (large was just over $28) and they were outstanding! They also offer lunch specials: 1 meat, 3 vegetables (four to choose from) bread and beverage for $10.95. One of their meat specials was a fried whole flounder. It seemed very popular. I would consider it on a future visit. Great service. Looking forward to going back soon! read more

I know this is a local favorite and there is generally a line around the building. This is a usually a sign of excellence. I don't know... it was just ok to me. A little pricey for the seafood. Yes, I know I am at the beach but this appeared to be a total local hangout. I will say the service was fantastic but the food was nothing to write home about. Not bad just not great. Maybe try for yourself and I will read your review read more

Hoskins Restaurant - Small seafood combo with Flounder, scallops, shrimp and oysters. Quick service, delicious food and reasonable priced for the area. - Seafood Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

We came here around 9 AM on a Sunday morning. Luckily there was no weight. The kids enjoyed the kids menu for coloring service was prompt and attentive. My veggie omelette and hashbrowns were pretty good. I absolutely love the biscuits. My son was disappointed with the grits, but I think he's just used to eating creamy grits back home. They absolutely love the pancakes and thought they were fluffy and delicious. We will definitely come back again. read more

This was the second time that we have visited this place and we love it! It's the type of place you go if you want to eat like a local. Although it's not going to be empty-you're going to have to wait! Both times we have been in the line along the road, but it's mostly covered and it's not bad, as it keeps moving quickly. This most recent time we had my parents with us and my dad cannot stand in line for long periods of time and no one said a word about him staying in the vehicle and then hopping in line with us when we made it to the front. There was also a large bench out front at the door that he could sit on while we waited the last few minutes to get in. The workers are always so friendly and the food comes out hot, fresh, and most of all GOOD! This time I had the BBQ sandwich and it was huge and so yummy! I paired it with a sweet potato and it had white slaw, which was fine. I work in Lexington, NC (the "BBQ Capital of the World, haha) so I was expecting red slaw. Didn't change my opinion, though. It was GREAT! My husband had the shrimp cocktail appetizer and commented how great it was, too. My dad had BBQ like me and my mom had a cheeseburger and said it was better than any of the other places we had eaten that week! It's a cozy and down-home feel when you are here. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

Excellent service, great selections for breakfast, ample parking. I love supporting local businesses!!

Great prices and quality. I got a burger with fries and it came with a pickle. I usually don't like any pickles but this pickle was actually delicious. read more

Food was good as was the service. I will return. There was a line before they opened!

I love the whole flounder and a friend loves the meat loaf. Everything is great. You get to see old friends and make new ones. Lunch specials are fantastic read more

Went at lunch on Halloween-there was the usual line at the door but it moved quickly. The service was outstanding-she was personable, attentive, and funny-and it was her birthday! My mom and I both got the fried chicken, salad, and turnip greens. She got the fries which were hot and crisp and lightly battered. I got the baked potato which was hot and steaming. We both loved the fried chicken which was made to order-juicy inside and crisp and flavorful on the outside. We both loved the turnip greens (and I'm not a vegetable fan!). They had pieces of diced turnip and were tender and flavorful and not at all bitter. The only knock is that the lettuce had seen better days-we both had brown lettuce. The dressings were delicious, though. We thought we were supposed to get rolls but no big deal. The place is clean and full of locals! We both took home half of our meal and will be back soon! read more

If you're looking for fried seafood and fantastic hush puppies then please wait in line!! This place has been here since the 40's and easily know why. It is not fancy but it is excellent, the she crab soup was as good as any I've tried. The oysters and scallops were just lightly breaded and delicious. An excellent choice for seafood lovers who don't mind to splurge on some guilty pleasure's. read more

The food was good and friendly staff. We were there for breakfast. We were fortunate to get there without a wait.

This place was recommended by a local so we decided to give it a try. Surprisingly we were able to be seated immediately because there were only 2 of us. Customer service was efficient and friendly, food was hot and fresh but, it could have used a bit more seasoning. I had the flounder and shrimp combo, and my companion had the bone in flounder. Other than that, I was pleased with my visit. read more

We went on a Wednesday night and got there at 4:15 and there was already a long line waiting to get in! (They open at 4:30). That's always a good sign. I had the special Blackened Shrimp & Grouper over Creamy corn with jalapeños, asparagus & a baked potato. Hubby had the fried oysters & crab cakes with baked potato. All the food was fresh, hot, high quality and delicious! We highly recommend Hoskins! read more

Hoskins Restaurant - Blackened Shrimp & Grouper over Creamy corn with jalapeños, asparagus & a baked potato - Seafood Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

We waited about 40 mins when we arrived at 5pm for dinner on a Thursday night. Everyone says it's worth the wait, so we waited. I'm not sure it was worth the 40 minute wait, with so many great restaurants in the area, but this place does a solid job with classic Southern comfortl food. We did not get fried seafood, which I suspect would be the tastiest thing. Nothing really blew us away, but we'd come back if the line were shorter next time. I bet their breakfast is really good and I've heard their biscuits are great. read more

This place is a favorite of mine when I travel to Myrtle Beach. And apparently not just mine because there is usually a line outside when you go in the evenings (especially on the weekends). However, the line usually moves quickly and there is a bench. The food is fantastic. Pretty much everything I have tried here, I enjoyed. My go to though is the flounder and shrimp combo. I have been here at least 5 times over the past 3 or 4 years with the most recent being October 2024. Each time I leave happy. The service is great too. I will definitely return the next time I'm in the Myrtle Beach area. read more

Food and service were both very good. There was a wait but it was worth it. Sunday lunch special was less $12, included a meat, 3 sides, a biscuit, dessert and tea. All the food was an A, the biscuit & the banana pudding were A+. It was real banana pudding, not that cheap 99% whipped cream mix that many places serve. read more

Excellent food and service eat lunch there at least once a week the prices are very reasonable servings are large very delicious

We were seated quickly and waited on immediately. The breakfast only is served until 10:45. The food was hot and came to us quickly. Very efficient. Food diner atmosphere. Sorry no photos. read more

The prices are very affordable. There is always a line at dinner time. I don't recommend for breakfast. I thought the best deal was lunch. The fried chicken was very good and most of the veggies have been great. Had the flounder one evening and it was very good. Nothing fancy but nice staff and great prices read more

Service was good food was good Great place for inexpensive meals Well prepared and served hot read more

We've eaten breakfast here before, and it was good. It's old school eggs and bacon, so hard to give them a great review. Lunch was a different story. We ordered the whole flounder, which was good....maybe a tiny bit over done. But the veggies that came with the meal....ugh! They were obviously canned. We're not used to eating canned vegetables, so we found them incredibly salty. And we both ended up with a headache after the meal, so I'm thinking MSG. We won't go back. We haven't had this problem at the Seafood Shack in Cherry Grove. read more

Incredible fried flounder and shrimp. Classic and consistently good. We also tried grilled salmon, which was also great?

Service was great. Food was fast, fresh and hot. Everything we had was delicious. The flounder was fresh and flaky. The hush puppies were hot and flavorful. Definitely would return. read more

Food was not great! Very disappointed and wonder hat it is that draws people in. Service was ok, atmosphere not great.

I had to wait in line, outside, for about 20-25 minutes and in the humid weather and they were not taking take out orders... anyway, it was totally worth the wait. I was visiting from out of town and we don't have many good seafood restaurants. The food at Hoskins was fresh and tasty and the hush puppies were the best I've ever had. read more

Seems the locals like it but meh. Over easy eggs were raw, biscuits were a four at best. Long line for a table and I honestly don't get it.

The food wasn't as good as it usually is. The home fries were cooked to long, the sausage was so greasy I couldn't eat it. The eggs weren't hot . The waitress was informed of the food. The restaurant is always clean and the service was good. They did take off for the sausage . read more

Amazing food, great pricing and service. The line went fast and the food was worth the wait! Love the flounder!

The food is always delicious and super quick but the staff are never overly friendly. The pimento cheese grits are very good. read more

This place was so cool and so delicious! We happened to be driving around town and saw a line out the door and thought we had to try this place. It's been open for 77 years and it did not disappoint! We went for lunch and our server Ashely was so patient with us, we had someone in our party that had a food sensitivity and she was so kind to check with the kitchen more than once to make sure it didn't have the sensitivity. My sister ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and she said it was the juiciest chicken sandwich she'd ever had. I ordered the Beach comber burger (flame grilled burger with fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese on a pretzel bun) and it was literally the best burger I have ever had!!! Perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned. We will definitely be coming back the next time we come in to town. So delicious! read more

Well...I don't know. This was our second visit and our memory must be failing or the restaurant is. Everything fried had the same taste. Salad dressing and sour cream comes in a little plastic cup, salad had crackers on the side, and salad was mostly iceberg with some fancy leaves thrown on top to foil you. I mean, it's ok, I guess. I got the flounder and shrimp. I don't eat fish much so was disappointed that the skin was on the fish. I didn't know that's traditional, it was unappetizing. Husband got scallops, shrimp, and crab cake with slaw. Hush puppies were nice. read more

We visited here again during our winter visit for lunch. I had fried oyster sandwich. Delicious, plump juicy oysters on a brioche bun. My wife had pulled pork sandwich on brioche bun.

Restaurant was very clean, .it has a front room and back room. Food has always been good, this is our 3rd visit here.
