    Tacos
    Maddy B.

    While vacationing in South Carolina, we stopped here for happy hour, and I have to say this was the best restaurant of the six we tried on our trip! Definitely recommend if you're looking for fresh, tasty seafood. Our server, who i believe name was Josh, was wonderful and took great care of us, including making some amazing recommendations. We ordered the gumbo, scallops, shrimp tacos, mac and cheese, and house oysters--and the oysters were absolutely the best! Everything was delicious, and we will be coming back on our next trip!

    Snooky's nails the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to linger long after your plate is cleared. Sitting right on the beach, it's hard to beat the setting, especially at sunset. That alone makes it worth the visit. As for the food, it was decent but didn't quite live up to the view. We tried the firecracker shrimp, oysters Rockefeller, the fresh catch sandwich of the day, and the horseradish-crusted salmon. Salmon was undercooked after ordering medium well but besides that everything was solid, but nothing really stood out or felt particularly memorable. It's the kind of menu where you won't be disappointed, but you also won't be talking about it the next day. They also included the tip for a party of 2 who sat at the bar so deducting a star for that! The drinks, though, were a different story. The cocktails were easily the next highlight. The pineapple mule was especially impressive, bright, fresh, and packed with real pineapple flavor that made it incredibly refreshing. Paired with a Grand Strand Airbrush local beer, the drinks elevated the whole experience and made up for what the food lacked. Overall, Snooky's is a great spot for the views and the cocktails. Come for the sunset, stay for the drinks!!

    Firecracker
    Denise M.

    We sat outside by the beach and enjoyed the sunset and a delicious dinner. Started with a loaded bloody Maria. And firecracker shrimp. Then we ordered tenderloin fillets and added a lobster. Food was spot on. Great flavor and cooked to our request. This was a great choice and one of our favorite meals out in north Myrtle beach. Cute little gem. Must go there.

    Grouper sandwich
    Lynn R.

    If anyone is looking for an outstanding grouper sandwich this is the place. Not only is it delicious and fresh it's a large serving and enough to share. I love the preparation Snooky's uses for this menu item - oatmeal and almonds for the crust. It's mouthwatering and you can't stop eating. Then if you like tartar sauce they make a Cajun sauce that is not spicy in my opinion that tops it off. The view of the ocean made the lunch enjoyable and the server we had was great. The atmosphere here was relaxing and enjoyable. Be prepared to park across the street at the overflow area but it's well worth the few extra steps. I will be back soon for this grouper sandwich.

    Seafood platter.
    Dawn D.

    Yummy seafood shack with an oceanview. Great Service from two of the staff. Nice grilled seafood platter with flounder, shrimp And scallops lightly seasoned and very tasty. The Mac and cheese was the star of the show though. Creamy goodness! Nice wine list. Oceanview ambiance.

    Fish  & chips
    Morgan S.

    Okay, why this place has a 3 review is beyond me. The waitress was INCREDIBLE sweet. Yes we had to wait a bit on the food, but it was busy. The margaritas were a bit weak but tasty. The crab & shrimp dip was INCREDIBLEEEEEE && the fish & chips were so fresh. Fish tasted right off the boat. I got ranch to dip the fries in and they had that GOOD ranch. That house made tasting stuff you know?? Anyway I loved it and am already craving it again even though we had it last night.

    Menu as of 2/21/26.

    I've seen billboards for Snooky's for years but because it reminded me of the girl from the TV show Jersey Shore, I was never really interested in going. However, on a recent trip back from North Carolina, we decided to give it a try. It's actually a good sized restaurant with plenty of tables and a nice view of the beach. The young man serving us was in the ball and made sure to ask if we wanted another beer when we finished the first. I had the blackened Mahi Mahi sandwich which was much better than I expected. I also had the wasabi slaw but I wasn't a fan. My wife enjoyed her chicken sandwich and the fries were on point.

    Mahi Entree

    Food took an hour to come out. First try with Mahi entree the food was barely warm. Waiter took food back and came back with same plate only the mashed potatoes were placed in a small bowl on side. Mahi was exceptionally dry. This was probably the WORST fish dish I have ever had, and the service was ehh. We are locals, and we won't be back. I ate 2 asparagus, 3 tough shrimp, and about 3 forkfuls of watery mashed potatoes. :0(

    Lobster crepes!!
    Buck S.

    Last day here! Had to come back! Yes, fourth time this week. Wanted to try the buffalo shrimp tacos. Comes in romaine leaves. Perfect! These were the best thing I had all week. Tatiyanna was our bartender! Never a wait for anything! Super charming! I guess we saved the best bartender for last! Love the saltwater tank up front. Great vibes again!

    Tuna Poke and Fresh Catch Grouper Bites
    Avery C.

    Fresh Catch bites appetizer (grouper, blackened) was phenomenal. Tuna poke bowl was excellent too. We also got the platter with flounder, crab cake, and scallops. Flounder was probably my least favorite-- I would try something else next time, maybe the shrimp instead of flounder. Scallops were so good. Best seafood we've had in the while and we will definitely be back! Go early and grab a spot on the balcony for an amazing view of the ocean at sunset

    Calamari
    Kimberley A.

    Service was super slow. She did not come back to check on us that often, and we were waiting for simple iced tea refills for a very long time. Not impressed with the service at all. Green tomato Napoleón 10/10 AMAZING. The Salty bacon with creamy goat cheese and the earthy spinach was amazing. Great cook and fry on the tomato too. Crispy fried calamari 10/10 Cooked good and not chewy. Coastal Seafood Platters, 3 proteins, Fried Good batter and fry on everything, super crispy. It was very heavy though having everything fried. I wish you could mix and match the cook types. - Flounder 10/10 Cooked perfectly, like a fish fry. Was delicious. - Shrimp 9/10 Cooked well. I wish they gave melted butter or something besides cocktail sauce for dipping. - Crab cake 6/10 The inside was mostly good, except I did not like the red peppers in there. Those really ruined it for me.

    So this was our first time here. It was still off season so we were able to sit down right away on…read morea Saturday evening. We sat outside and the view is gorgeous. The outside is great for families or for a date night. They have a section where they have an outside bar so you can be by the water. They also have a small stage that I'm sure they have music outside. So we started off with drinks and some appetizers. We had the calamari, street corn dip and the margarita. We had the steak with a side order of shrimp, had the Big chill burger with an extra side the Hawaiian pasta salad and the Big Chill Island salad with chicken. Service was good. The apps were tasty and if you like spicy hot it was good. The steak and shrimp was good and flavorful, the burger was good but not the pasta salad. It was not good, that even my daughter didn't like it. As for my Big Chill Island salad was also a disappointment. Not sure what it was but the flavors just didn't go well together. I always like to give places a second try so we might come back and I will try another dish.

    I was so excited about trying the lobster roll. I've had them in different places and always enjoy…read more At Big Chill it is dry and uneventful. The fries looked and tasted like they were heated up after being cooked and sitting. Honestly, something as easy as making french fries. A $30 dish that i did not find to be even mediocre. My group ordered different plates and for the most part, no complaints but no one raved over their meal either. The drinks were good. I had the sangria and enjoyed it. The hula and fire show is good. I think that's all they have going for them. Our server (I forgot to ask his name) was good. He has an enthusiastic personality and a pleasure. Our table was right in front of the stage. No complaints there!
