Lavender lemon drop
Jas A.

Stumbled up on this place from a Yelp recommendation. Upon arrival it is a very unassuming place and you may think to go somewhere else when you enter the lonely plaza, but the restaurant is there and open. Once we walked in we were hit with the most memorizing aromatics. The staff was really patient and accommodating. The food was beyond delicious. The seafood bisque, fish bites, and shrimp scampi are definitely worth trying. There was a lobster ravioli with shrimp and soft shell crab on special that also delivered flavorful bites. I definitely recommend anyone in town to stop by and give them a shot. The fish bites were a 10/10

What a great restaurant! We were very happy with our entrees and drinks... hidden gem! We will be back next year!

Yummy Tidewater Burger
Andi M.

My husband and I visited Tidewater Grill one evening when visiting NMB with family. We arrived before our reservation, and the hostess accommodated us. They are smallish inside, but they do have a patio that seats more. We lucked out with one of their few booths. My husband had the Tidewater Burger (with bacon and chili), and I had the Jumbo Lump Crabcake sandwich. We opted for onion rings and coleslaw as our sides. His burger was perfectly medium-rare, and was loaded with lots of toppings! My crabcake was on the thinner side, but full of lump crab meat, and I enjoyed the remolaude. The onion rings were very crispy. The coleslaw was simple, yet good as well. We enjoyed our meal, and will likely return if we are in the mood for a burger the next time we are in town.

Don't be turned away by its location in a strip mall shopping type building because this is a must stop location. I got the feel it was more a local loved joint, which is what we strive for on beach vacations! First, The decor inside is super welcoming and clean feeling! I loved the wall paper and tiling on the floor. Our food was sooooo good. Started with grouper bites that fell apart so tenderly and the dipping sauce was superb. I would go back again and again just to get the grouper bites! I ordered a lobster roll which was stuffed to the gill, perfection. My husband ordered the fried flounder plate which he said was also good. A highlight was my blood orange martini and my husband's mojito. Both A+ The service is ok here, our waiter was also the bartender so he had to be quick and to the point but was also very friendly and did an excellent job doing both roles on a busy night. Overall, the food makes this joint a must go!!

Maryland lump crab cake
Wallace J.

Found using the Yelp app. Lot of good reviews. It's a relatively small place and clientele seems locals vs tourists. Server was great. Took our beverage orders, returned quickly with those and water. She told us the specials which we passed on. Fred ordered fried oysters platter, I ordered an à la carte crab cake and oysters Rockefeller. Our food arrived quickly. Fried oysters were plentiful and crispy. House made chips were crunchy and delicious. My crab cake was wonderful - as close to a Maryland crab cake as I've had in a long time. Lump crab, very little bread crumbs, pan fried and served with a dollop of hollandaise. It needed some Old Bay seasoning. The Rockefeller Oysters were delicious. Plump oysters topped with spinach and Hollandaise. They need a splash of Pernod and would be 5 star. We split a piece of house made peanut butter pie for dessert. It wasn't good. Way too sweet and very soupy. Tasted like a cool whip recipe. Our tab was reasonable and we left our server a generous tip. We recommended the restaurant to numerous people we knew back at the hotel. I'd definitely return!

Scallops with cheese grits and green beans
Deanna W.

Tidewater Grill is a small local North Myrtle Beach restaurant. Seating is limited because of the size, but it wasn't too busy when we were there. We made reservations because there were seven in our party. They have a small but diverse menu. My daughters both ordered 1/2 pound burgers and fries. I had seared scallops and substituted cheese grits for the dirty rice. Others in our group ordered fried flounder, fried shrimp and a ravioli (one of their specials of the day). Everything was delicious and portion sizes were just right. It was also decorated in a cute way for the holidays. This is a good place to dine especially if you have a group wanting a seafood restaurant that also offers delicious alternatives to the normal seafood cuisine.

Black and Bleu Salad
Emma C.

We had a big party in the back room for Christmas and it was fabulous! The waitresses were amazing, friendly and fast. The food was delicious and everyone loved their meal. I had the black and blue salad with shrimps and the dressing was just as good as it looks. The shrimps were grilled perfectly and the chucks of blue cheese were delicious and fresh.

Stuffed shrimp with flavorless white rice and three Spears of asparagus.
Linda G.

So usually our favorite place but not last night not so much. None of our dishes were good. We ate a little and tossed the rest. So disappointed! And our waiter never asked if everything was ok. It was not! So disappointed! Waiter had no clue. We won't be back. Too bad!!

Bacon Pimento Cheeseburger
Michaela P.

Let me start by saying staff is super friendly and welcoming, which is a huge plus. You are also able to make reservations in advance if you are so inclined. Inside is decorated now contemporary yet laid back environment. Our meals were the disappointing part of the evening. We ordered the onion rings and the fried calamari to start with. They looked promising, but within 30 seconds of sitting on the table, the batter completely fell off both. So we just had onion laying there, and on the other platter rings of calamari, surrounded by the breading and pepperoncini's. They were overdone and quite chewy. Barely ate any before the server came around and asked if we were done and I took away the dishes. For our dinner order we ordered the ribeye medium rare, which actually was quite tasty with a delicious char on the outside. Also a bacon cheeseburger with pimento cheese on the side, which was also very good. The chicken Parmesan was terrible and small with barely any sauce and the noodles just were not what was expected. Also ordered a shrimp Poboy sandwich, which was overly salty with barely any sauce. Dry and almost inedible. Overall, a very disappointing meal.

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.

My family loves coming here and it was my husband's birthday so that is how we ended up there. Unfortunately, I have yet to have a mail that was memorable for the right reasons. I do not like that the specials are not written down so that you can see all the details and the $$. The night that we were there, the waiter described one of the specials with mahi-mahi over crab & lobster risotto, which sounded amazing. I ordered with full anticipation that this was the meal I would finally love. Unfortunately, the risotto was so full of red and green peppers that you couldn't even taste the crab and lobster. The fish was beautifully prepared, but I ended up taking everything home because my pallet was blown by the bell peppers. It was an expensive special that was reheated with homemade risotto. A friend was happy to eat the leftovers from Oyster Rock.
