    We stepped in the historic facility to grab a drink or two after finding the waterfront area of Little River. It's a basic good ole dive bar with cold cheap drinks, complete with local regulars who smoke and dance and cut up. Some games in adjoining room. A touch tune jukebox in the main bar. Smoke in the air. Old school bar. Biker bar. Don't even know if they serve food, which I suspect they don't.

    Can't remember the last time I was allowed to smoke a cigar at a bar.

    This is not a Buckeye bar like advertised. It's a biker bar. No seating. Def don't bring children here. Cool area though.

Walked in and was greeted by an army of flies and an owner who looked personally offended that we dared to show up. The vibe? Haunted. The food? Think expired gas station snacks but angrier. I swear a Maruchan noodle whispered, "You deserve better." We paid gourmet prices for what tasted like a punishment. Honestly, I've had more flavor licking a 9V battery. Save your money, your taste buds, and your soul--run.

A group of 7 of us went in of an early Saturday evening roughly 5pm. NO ONE was in the restaurant we thought maybe it was because we were early. We ordered a dozen of Osyter Rockefeller and they were FANTASTIC!! Bang Bang Shrimp were decent but smaller shrimp. Fried Okra was decent as well... now the issue was the Entrees. The menu reads "two fried turkey wings" with 2 sides. Two guest ordered those but yes the waitress brings 3 plates with 1 one wing on each and the sides were not accurate. Upon looking we can automatically tell the Mac & Cheese was a joke literally only noddles and sprinkle cheese. Green beans has Zero Salt and Mash Potatoes were from a box, however the gravy was okay. When we told the waitress she had messed up and put in 3 turkey wings instead of 2, she didn't seem to customer service oriented. I ordered 3 wing dinner, potato salad and side salad. The potato salad eggs taste rubbery as if this is a prepackage potato salad. The side salad came towards the end of everyone getting their meal with no dressing which I needed up boxing up. My two daughters ordered smash burgers slidersand these are definitely not "smashed" but basic sliders. My kids are them with no complaints but wouldn't consider smashed. However my daughter also got Mac & Cheese that we kindly declined being that our other party has already received their and was disliked. My other friend chicken wings never came as of yet so we asked the waiter again about the wings and after 10 min the showed up and they were bleeding!! Blood coming from the drum and wing connection! She immediately sent it back and offered to pay for the fries. My other daughter food finally came and DO NOT ORDER the Salisbury Steak!!! My daughter said "mom I am so hungry I don't care" (we had been school shopping all day). The Salisbury Steak looked to be 2 frozen hamburger patties with sauté onions that was grilled. I should have known it would be something when she told me they were waiting for the grill, I questioned..the grill? Salisbury Steak is covered in gravy and soft like a meatloaf or hamburger patty. FALSE I would not recommend this place to anyone except for the Oyster Rockefeller.

We sat inside, where it was also very filled up. Our waitress, Izzy, was AMAZING! She was multitasking like crazy and still took the time to give us excellent service!! We ordered fried cheese curds for the table. Mmm mmm mmm! So good. We also ordered the orange crush with a vanilla vodka shooter! Very tasty! I had a cheesesteak with sweet peppers that was delicious. Next time I am in SC I will definitely be back! Thanks for great food and a great time!

If you are on two wheels, just be aware that the parking lot is dirt/gravel. Manageable but be aware. The restaurant is located on the intercoastal waterway which the large tree shaded outdoor deck and stage overlooks. Though it was 90°, there was a breeze, deck fans and shade which made it comfortable enough. The staff were quick to serve us and keep up with our needs. They were friendly and made food suggestions. The food came out quickly and was very good. Our table had the scallops po' boy, smash burger and quesadillas. Everyone enjoyed their meals that were tasty and plentiful. They also have their own ale that was very good, had a few of those! The band sounded very good, singing "oldies" that was perfect for the atmosphere. If you are looking for a good meal in a great location this is the place for you.

They've got arcade games, pool tables, live music, and even a whole area for line dancing. Plus, lots of table games to keep you entertained while you wait. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, which always makes a difference. Prices were very reasonable, especially for the portion sizes...they do not skimp here! The homemade mozzarella sticks were absolutely the star of the show, seriously delicious. And the chili on the fries? Next level. They don't have draft beer (bottles only), just something to keep in mind. But honestly, the overall vibe and experience more than make up for it.

She glared at me like I was an alien for telling her she needs to wash her hands after letting a dog lick her. Of course the dog shouldn't even be in there in the first place as it is a health code violation. Disgusting. And dangerous. What other hygiene standards are not followed I wonder.

I absolutely love this place and is one of my favorite places to stop before I head to Myrtle Beach. It's located in Calabash, NC so it's like 10 minutes before you get to the SC boarder. It might be shorter than that. But anyway, I love coming here obviously the food is fresh and fantastic. They have plenty of outdoor seating and it's always nice and clean. The staff is wonderful. I love that every time I've come, I'm always greeted with a warm welcome and a smile. Everything that I've tried has been great. And they have lots of options. Check out my pics and I'm a creature of habit so I got the same thing but one thing I did try was the Wahoo fish. It was perfect and I'd never had it before. I can see this easily being a fan favorite. And lastly the dessert. I highly recommend getting the fried pound cake and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It's heavenly. Although, not pictured, they have a great pumpkin pie. Follow their Instagram for updates because they do close down I want to say the Thanksgiving day up until Spring so about March or April. It's a good time and you won't be disappointed. Check them out if you are in the area.
