Great food, oysters, shrimp & burgers, with a friendly smile in family friendly Cherry Grive SC

Give the updated Hicks and Quick Oyster bar a try, it's simple, clean, and fun atmosphere with good oysters, burgers, and pie. We had the oysters rockafella that had a good overall taste along with hush puppies . We shared a smash burger and it hits the spot, served with hot fresh fries. We finished the meal with homemade key lime pie. It was very good and tart. They take pride in good service and the food they serve in a small cozy atmosphere that has a lot of cool memorabilia on the walls. read more

Good food and friendly service. Who couldn't like a restaurant that keeps a coffee pot full of melted butter! The French fries are thin and crispy! Oysters were delicious and grouper bites were good (ifnot a little expensive for the few that you get). read more

Moved here in February and tried this place a weeks later. We have been going back as often as we could because the oysters are the best, raw and grilled! And the staff is awesome! The menu has been updated so even more yummy. I'd rather keep this as a local joint but it's so good, EVERYONE should check it out. read more

We've been trying to get here for months...Finally we made it and had the best experience :) Food was delish and service was even better!! Pam and Kevin couldn't have taken better care of us. We will definitely be back, Thank You read more

Amazing place! Food is outstanding, service was spectacular and the diner itself straight out of the 50's!! The records and posters on the wall were nostalgic and fun to read. Outside is a small patio area with tailgate tables , hub caps for dog water bowls. read more

The menu is limited to oysters/ shrimp/burgers BUT, all are done incredibly well! The service was friendly and efficient. They are only open Thur thru the weekend, but plan to extend hours soon(?). Check their website and arrive early. read more

Great oysters. Small quaint place. Always busy. Limited menu but food excellent. They have music outside.

We have eaten here several times. Today we were treated like we were not welcome. The server( who was our server the previous visits) never brought us water, which we asked for, and we could hear him talking to other employees about us. I asked the server if they were all from the same family and he said they were all from the same church family. The food was good. The man who cooks the food is great. The server was not. so disappointed. read more

Oysters!! Great food and great time with friends. Love this place. Whatever the oyster shooter is, it is great and not that hot. Did three of them. read more

The seafood is so fresh and plentiful! We get the raw and grilled oysters every time along with the shrimp with Old Bay seasoning and are in heaven!! The staff is always so welcoming, engaging in conversation, and attentive. This is always one of our weekend go-to's when we're in town. A definite "must" restaurant for you to try. You won't be sorry! read more

This is one of the best finds in the Cherry Grove Beach area! The food...particularly the oysters which can be enjoyed raw, or steamed, or baked--and the crab legs, the shrimp, the delicious gumbo soup, and the homemade key lime pie for dessert--are as good as any you'll find on the entire Grand Strand. And the service is down-home friendly. A relaxing fun atmosphere with live music. We're definitely looking forward to going back after they reopen in January (the restaurant closes for the month of December). This place is a hidden gem! Fantastic! read more

Great food great service pricing was not too cornice live entertainment overall very pleasant experience

Holy Moly is this place special. Came here a week ago with my in-laws on their recommendation and it was delightful. The Red Rooster was addictively briny and spicy. Oysters Rockefeller were so fresh and full of flavor. Steamed shrimp were phenomenal. What made this place though was the atmosphere and service. Talked with who I assume to be the owners about their clam chowder because my son, who has Celiac, was joining us later in the week. She offered to make him a special batch, asked when we were coming, and reviewed the list of ingredients with me. Showed back up today and she was ready, and brought him a second bowl of specially made gluten chowder. On our second visit, we shared Oysters Rockefeller, and raw oysters, more Red Roosters, delicious gumbo, and steamed shrimp. It was all incredibly fresh and delicious. Our daughter, who is anti-seafood, declared it one of the best burgers she's ever had. We will be back any time we are in the area! read more

Back in the area and Tailgate was our first dinner spot. Still graciously friendly folks serving wonderfully fresh food (and the Rooster will still clear the sinuses!). After the Rooster, a cup of gumbo followed by a dozen raw oysters topped off by lemon pie!!! A single vocalist playing music of the 60s and 70s just added to the experience. Restricted hours may make it tough to get back for a second visit this trip.... but we are going to try! Back one more time. The owner made a special gluten free batch of clam chowder for my celiac grandson! I love this place! read more

Fantastic! Clean, friendly and great food at a reasonable price. We enjoyed some burgers and oysters. The coldest beer anywhere. Glad we tried it and we will be back. Super good experience. read more

Quick and friendly service in a cool converted garage with a retro music vibe. There was live music outside but was a tad too loud for our family of 4 to have a conversation. We shared oysters and shrimp and had the creamy clam chowder and a burger. My son had the red hot oyster and they rang a bell. Would definitely go back in the future. read more

Highly recommend! Wanted a little break from the kiddos so hubs & I wandered into this gem. Sat at the bar, shared some chargrilled oysters and a glass of wine. Live music playing Lively servers and clientele. My kinda place! read more

Husband and I went last night because of all the rave reviews! Arrived right at 5 and sat outside as the evening was perfect. We had so much fun listening to live music from 60s-70s! Service was excellent considering how busy the place was inside and outside. Tried oysters 3-ways; raw, grilled and Rockefeller. Super fresh and delicious. We also shared clam chowder, shrimp salad and hubby finished with a slice of key lime pie. All delicious! Reasonably priced food and a great casual hangout. Place is not touristy or fancy as it's a refurbished garage but that's what makes it so lovable! Definitely will be back! Need to try the peel and eat shrimp! read more

Only deceiving part was the name. Tailgate. Figured they would have TVs for games. But the game is watching them maneuver around shucking oysters, like a fine oiled machine. Super Friendly. Music was also fantastic. For the Food! Over the Top! Can't wait to visit again and again and again. read more

We went here very late at night (7:22pm.) We ordered and got our food in under 10 minutes, even with a full house. The service was incredible; some of the best I've ever experienced. We ordered half a dozen oysters and got nine. The pickles, the soup, the sauce-- everything was perfect. They had an oldies style jukebox that was playing friendly music. The overall atmosphere was lovely. Some of the best food and service in my life. One hundred percent go here. read more

Food was excellent with servers really cool people!! One beef!! Not open enough!! Lol!! Music was excellent!!

Tried the raw oysters, Rockefeller, Red Rooster and the Smashburger. Oysters were good, mild and not too briny. The burger was so-so. I wish this place had more choices for oysters but on this night, there was only one region on the menu. LOVED the service staff and diner-ambience. I will be back. read more

Tailgate Oyster Bar - Steamed Oysters - Salad Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Just opened recently. They have an oyster bar where you can dine and have your oysters shucked or table dining. Staff very friendly and food was great. We had oysters, raw and steamed, both great. The steamed peel and eat shrimp were huge (U10?) and delicious!! For dessert we had smash cheeseburger split four ways. Sooo good! Would be great if they had a fryer for hush puppies or fries but certainly won't keep me from going back! read more

Ate here Saturday night! Fantastic food!! Nicest kindest staff around. Make you feel right at home. Oysters are plump and cooked to perfection. They shuck them for you at the bar. I had the best clam chowder I have EVER eaten and I am a chowder snob! Coldest beer on beach they keep it in ice!!! These are local people trying really hard to make a go of this. Do yourself a favor and give them a try. It is a unique experience and they have other food as well including awesome desserts! This is our favorite place to go now. read more

Such a great secret find. Oyster bar that sports such an amazing burger among other things. My wife got the steamed shrimp with old bay seasoning..which she loved. I got the highly recommended smash burger which did not disappoint. Started with the steamed little neck clams which were fresh from hog island bay. Amazing. Finished with the Blondie desert. Highly recommended for an off the beaten path gem. read more
