We discovered Wicked Tuna during our annual Myrtle Beach trip from North Carolina, and it impressed us so much that we had to go back a second time during the same visit. The peel and eat shrimp was the reason we returned. Instead of the typical boiled flavor you find at most places, this tasted almost broiled, giving it a richer flavor that immediately stood out. It was absolutely phenomenal and easily the star of the meal. On our first visit, my boyfriend had the fish and chips and I ordered the catch of the day sandwich, both very good and well prepared. The view is beautiful, there is shaded outdoor seating, and the service was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Because we enjoyed it so much, we came back again and started with the peel and eat shrimp once more. We also shared the wedge salad, which we had ordered the first time as well. It was fresh, crisp, and the blue cheese was excellent. We added the oysters Rockefeller and the tuna pizza, both packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. To finish, we ordered two sushi rolls, and once again everything was balanced and thoughtfully done. The flavors complemented each other beautifully. Every dish felt carefully prepared, and the overall experience was memorable from start to finish. We were extremely happy with both visits and will absolutely return next year. read more

MY RATING SYSTEM 4 / 5 = Exceeds expectations = NA 3 = Meets expectations = YES 2/1 = Does not meet expectations = NA OVERALL POINTS RATING 0 - 5 1. AMBIANCE = 3 The environment was nice. Good amount of open space. Outside deck seating. Nice bar area. 2. FOOD/DRIINKS = 2 We had clamira, wedge salad, Seafood plates. One beer IPA. The veggie selection was not appetizing in appearance. The fish selection was good but nothing special. The 2 was the result of the veggie selection looked burnt overcooked. If this had not been the case it would have been a 3. Next time I would request to have it returned and do without. Mash potatoes were good. 3. SERVICE = 5 Our waitress was attentive and engaging. The food came quickly and was a good temperature. 4. BATHROOM = 3 Clean and maintained. 5. PRICING = 2 The appetizer $16. Salad $16. Meals $42. Beer 20oz $11. Tax is 10%. Plus tip. $169 for 2 people. I would recommend to drop appetizer by $4 and wedge salad to $12. Beer how can a 20oz cost $11.00 for Sweetwater 420. With the push to get wait staff to $15 per hour. Someplace has to give and it will come in the tip area. So think of this it 10% for taxes and 20% for tip. I do not tip on full bill. Only food and beverage without taxes. That is a lift to see 30% for a couple of hour dining experience. If more alcohol from wine to mix drink it would be expensive. 6. OBSERVATION With some Does not meet expectations for food and price. The environment ok. I think at least for the team that took care of us made a difference. I would probably not choose to eat here again as there are a number of options in the area to choose from. The parking was good. Need to get your parking pass signed off by resteraunt. It is free. If not the parking value is $30.00. 7. POINTS 15 out of 25 points 20 to 25 = Exceeds expectations = NA 10 to 19 = Meets expectations = YES 0 to 9 = Does not meet expections = NA read more

This place is beautifully decorated and has very friendly staff! The star of the show was the food. Quality ingredients and prepared very well. The grilled seafood platter was one of the best I've ever done. It was in my opinion one of the best restaurants in the area. read more

TERRIBLE!!! HORRID CUSTOMER SERVICE!! (they blocked the one star reviews) Manger was extremely rude. When asked about a reservation we have been waiting for over a half an hour, she yelled back that she had been calling Jodi... my name is indeed not Jodi. As if that wasn't enough when there scanner was having a problem with one of our government issued IDs, we were again met with rudeness from the manager. Overall, terrible customer service and experience from someone in a leadership position. AND food has taken over an hour. read more

The sushi maki was tasty and seafood Risotto also flavorful. The cauliflower served with hummus was very flavorful and nice texture. Big complaint is to the staff NOT informing me of hidden huge costs. I was encouraged to try a drink off their new menu listed $13, but failed to warn me there was another charge of $8.79 liqour fee and another $1.89 so I was upset my drink was over $23 . We won't be back to Wicked Tunas hidden fee place read more

We started outside at the Tuna Shak and the bartender recommended going inside to The Wicked Tuna bar due to Thursday's food specials! It was half off most sushi, and some fantastic drink specials as well. The service was great and we were stuffed! Super happy we got to try wicked tuna as we are usually more than happy at the outdoor bar! read more

Low key was about to walk out from waiting so long. Unfortunately it was a miscommunication as they were very busy. Fast forward as we were about to stand up the server came to take our drink order and everything after that was smooth sailing. The shrimp n grits are a bit spicy but extremely tasty! The bang bang was out of this world! This is a must get if you're ever by! Our server Baylie was super fast and reliable. We hope to see her next time we return! She is awesome!!! read more

I am a local resident that works out of town and visited on Saturday night 4 /24/2006. I have heard from other local residents that the food portions has drifted away along with the quality of graded tuna. I ordered the fried seafood platter for $42 dollars and received a 4oz portion of fried Tilapia and 5 fried oysters, a 1 oz crab cake patty. read more

Food presentation was very good, the meals looked great. Service was outstanding, Ray is a great waiter, very personable, knowledgeable and helpful. BUT the food was not as good as it should be. We had the salmon, slightly overcooked, but good tasting. The mashed potatoes and broccolini were cold! Also had the surf and turf burger. Burger was good but the fries were room temperature and chewy, probably from sitting. It wasn't crowded yet so we would expect things to be much better read more

We went to Wicked Tuna for a late lunch last weekend while on our trip to Pawleys Island and really enjoyed it! I called to make a reservation but we didn't need one, and it wasn't that busy. Although it's December and was a good experience, what a fun spot this would be when it's warm! We were seated right away and Sid was our server, super friendly guy! Just positive vibes all around. We were able to see the dock and water right outside the window, great views! I ordered a glass of wine and Sid brought over waters for us and our daughter in a kid's cup. We started with the shrimp cocktail, as always, and it was fresh and delicious. My husband ordered the Yum yum sushi roll and loved it, but I didn't end up trying it. I ordered chicken tenders for our daughter and to be honest, these were some of the best we (we being my husband and I, our daughter is 10.5 months) have ever had! She loved them too of course. For my entree, I ordered the Tuscan Prime Filet Medallions and got the creamy peppercorn sauce on the side. These were delicious and cooked to my liking, and served over mashed potatoes, as I swapped the asparagus for potatoes. The service and atmosphere at Wicked Tuna was great, as well as the food! I will say, it's a bit overpriced but I'm not surprised due to the location of the restaurant! All of that said, we'd come back and I do recommend it! read more

Service was great. Greeted immediately upon entering. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor area has tables in the shade and tables in the sun, whichever you prefer depending on availability. Seafood platter was pretty good. The grilled one came with Mahi (fresh catch of the day) this was a bit overcooked but well seasoned. Shrimp was the same way. Parmesan potato puree was so creamy and delicious. Scallops were tender and well seasoned. Veggies were nicely roasted. The fried seafood platter came with oysters instead of scallops. Everything was fried well. Presentation of the food probably could have been done a little better lol. The s'mores martini was chocolatey, tasted as though I was eating a drunken s'more. Would definitely return! read more

I love Wicked Tuna. They have everything, including sushi. As usual, we sat at the bar and shared the wicked shrimp. It is so good. Then on to our main course. He got the wicked shrimp sandwich and I got the tuna tartare. I love this. It is served with tortilla chips and the tuna is so tender. He said his sandwich was good but it tasted like the appetizer we had. His sandwich was served with French fries. Would I come back here? You know I will. If you see me there, stop by and say hello. read more

What can I say about this place? It's amazing... Just a view alone is worth $1 million! Situated on a pier in Myrtle Beach overlooking the ocean. Couldn't ask for a better place to eat sushi. You almost feel like it was pulled right out of the ocean that you're staring at. The sushi was very fresh and delicious I enjoyed every bite and had plenty to take home because of course I over ordered... Intentionally lol... The service at the bar where I saw was great I had a male bartender I forget his name but I know he was from Alaska Very accommodating made great recommendations. I have to say I can't wait to go back. I only wish Long Island had sushi places with views like this and seafood like this too!! I recommend HIGHLY! read more

Dropped in for a quick bite and it did not disappoint. Wife had the wicked shrimp and I had the catch of the day (grouper) sandwich and fries and it was tasty. The fish was so fresh that is my wife enjoyed. Her tempura shrimp was very good. The service from Lexi was excellent. Really enjoyed the covered patio on the inlet, even though it started to pour rain. read more

Wicked in so many ways. The sushi was wicked good, the prices were wicked expensive, and the place itself wicked large. Like the fish that inspires its name, this place goes big on just about everything, including some of the things you might not want. We ended up here after inquiring at a couple other places on wait times, and finding they weren't to our liking. That's where the sheer size of the place helps, lots and lots of seats to fill. We were able to get in right away even though the joint was jumpin. I didn't know anything about it going in other than that I was sure there would be lots of seafood, but the menu certainly provides you with a lot of choice. Extensive apps, seafood, steaks, other protein entrees, burgers, and a sushi menu. Looking around, the sushi appeared to be a good choice and I could hear other diners commenting on liking it. That said, good luck to your wallet if you want to get full on sushi, because there is not even a basic roll less than $10, and your average roll is closer to 20. 10 bucks for a cucumber roll is highway robbery guys, come on. It's literally rolled up rice and cucumber with seaweed. In the end, I swallowed my opinion on the prices because hunger won out, and I ordered two rolls. The Wicked Tuna and the Cherry blossom. I will say, the size of the rolls at least makes you feel a bit better, they were plump pieces, 8 per roll, not stingy on the ingredients. I wasn't let down on the flavor of either one, not only did they look great, they tasted even better. Their namesake, the Wicked Tuna roll, is one that I could probably just eat until I burst, loved the flavor of seared tuna on top of a creamy lobster salad. In the end though, I left still hungry, and ended up snacking back at our rental, hard pill to swallow when you're out 50 bucks after tipping. I'd go back if others really wanted it, or if I suddenly no longer have to worry about money anymore. read more

We were down in Myrtle beach for a weekend trip and found our way here. Everything was delicious, and our waiter gave us some great suggestions. We started with a cucumber cocktail that was delicious. We ordered some sushi rolls to split and all were delish, but our favorite dish of the day was the ahi tuna pizza/flatbread. So so good!! And the view was beautiful from our seats. read more

Great atmosphere and great service! Oysters were delicious and we ordered 24! Sushi was good not great but delicious!

This was a super interesting find in Murrells inlet. They call this area, "a fishing village with a drinking problem " for a reason . This place was easy to find. They had plenty of parking, the deck was large. Wicked tuna had indoor as well as outdoor seating. We opted for outdoor seats, given the weather and ambiance. It overlooked the water inlet where everybody was boating. It was a lovely afternoon. I was very happy with the choice. The server was nice and friendly. We were told the sushi kitchen was different from the regular food. I got the yellowtail nigiri and the fresh catch of the day. We got edamame for the table and some appetizer shrimp. The sushi here was fabulous to say the least. I wish I got more rolls instead of the catch of the day, which was a white fish baked. I got some pino Grigio to wash everything down. It was crisp and nice. Overall, we had a great time and I can't wait to be back. read more

Let's be real, you're paying for the ambiance and the view. It is spectacular and the location is awesome. The food was good but not amazing. When you're paying a lot more you expect a lot more. The service seems great but our server was cocky about trying to tell us what we should be ordering. No man-plaining please... The table behind us had a different server and I heard them explaining things differently than our server did when it came to the expertise of the restaurant and specials and recommendations, I was bummed to hear information I wish I knew. I would probably visit one of the other marsh strip bars and restaurants next time considering the cost, but if you want something a little fancier feeling, this is a good spot. read more

Love going here! The food and mixed drinks are amazing! Service is usually good even when it's busy. I love to sit outside on the patio if we can. We sat inside once and the booths need to be completely replaced. There were 4 of us and the two in the booth had the table at their faces almost because the springs were shot and felt like sitting on the floor. For the prices the chairs and tables should be in better condition. read more

Was back again over the weekend, sat outside on the deck looking over the water. Michael was our waiter and was amazing. Gave great menu tips and just was so sweet all around, and very attentive. This time for drinks & lunch. I had the surf & turf burger & my friend the ginger salad with shrimp, both were delicious. The burger had a great char on it & crab cake was delicious (I nixed the bun) I originally was going for the salad my friend got, but I never order what someone else does - why do that when you can try theirs .... No doubt will come back when I'm here again! Glad that I have more people who have moved into the area, Wicked is a bit more pricey than other places in the area, but so worth it! The food, ambience, view, & staff are well worth it!! read more

Overpriced with service that leaves a lot to be desired. Sushi rolls (8 pieces) are $20. Appetizers also about $20. Most entrees are $25-$30, unless you order seafood, and then you're looking at $40+. It's ridiculous that basic vegetarian alfredo at a seafood joint costs $29, when I just ordered chicken parm at a high-end Italian restaurant in downtown Columbia for $32... Espresso martini was $14 and meh. Because we had a party of nine, 20% gratuity was baked into the bill, which apparently gave the server permission to provide garbage service. The birthday girl's request to have pre-ordered apps delivered to the table quickly upon arrival of her guests went unanswered... We even cleared our own table by grabbing a nearby bussing tray because we'd all finished eating, were trying to distribute our friend's cake, and the space in front of her was cluttered with empty glasses and condiments. Underwhelming seafood. Poor service. Loud ambience. Not returning. read more

I had the fish and chips, my husband chose the scallops. Both were delicious and very fresh tasting. Great service

I honestly don't understand the mixed reviews. This place exceeded my expectations in every way. We came early for the happy hour sushi special and my husband loved it so much he ordered additional rolls and skipped dinner. The rest of our family really enjoyed our meals. The stuffed shrimp was the best stuffed shrimp I've ever had. They were huge and came with the risotto. All entire party agreed that they were outstanding. I would 10000% return to this restaurant. read more

We parked in their lot for dinner and paid for parking our car was the booted. I will never in my life eat there again. After being booted we tried contacting a phone number to get the boot off the car and it was a horrible experience. 109$ later and being stuck in parking lot for 45 minutes still was not helped. I wouldn't even give them a star if I was able to. 15 cars and all out of state plates and all of us were booted, what a scam. read more

Where to start. So many good things to say about Wicked Tuna. My wife and I went there for our anniversary. We made reservations for 6p but when we got there it wasn't too busy yet. So not sure if you really need them for that time. It did fill up a little later tho. My wife had the fish and chips which the catch of the day was red snapper with fries and 3 hush puppies. The fish and fries were fresh and hot! Both were outstanding. She had the strawberry kiwi mojito. It was lithe and refreshing! I had the shrimp and grits. Holy cow was it good. Some of the best grits I've had! The shrimp were also fresh! The creole sauce was outstanding! I had the cucumber jalapeño marg. Very good. The flavor was well balanced. We ordered a frozen key lime with graham cracker crust. The crust seemed to have a funny stale taste about it. Sean our server (also outstanding!!) replaced it with a triple chocolate dessert that was fantastic. Sean recommended that the first time. I should have listened to him! We also had an espresso martini. It's to die for!! We sat outside so the ambiance was perfect. We sat near the railing so we had a good view of the marsh and all the boats coming and going. It was really nice! Over all it was a great dinner experience. I highly recommend Wicked Tuna! read more

Great atmosphere but goes down quickly from there. My order was a ribeye steak with an add on of scallops totaling $60. The steak was ordered cooked medium. It came with a gray center ."well done". The scallops were overcooked as well and rubbery.. I do not send food back. The waiters solution was to give me a 10% local discount which means I paid $54 for a dry steak and rubbery scallops which I struggle to eat.... read more

Too bad the location's beauty does not translate to food and service quality. Was very underwhelmed with meal selection - good crab cakes but lacking taste with fried Mac/n/cheese and tasteless shrimp cocktail. My expectations of quality are in relation to the elevated food pricing. On a positive the kids really enjoyed the pasta offerings. read more

Wicked Tuna never disappoints! This is one of my favorite restaurants to go to when my family and I come down over the summer and on breaks. The food is always good, as they switch up some things on their menu based on what's in season. We always get the bang bang grouper to start (it's to die for!). And this time I got the ahi tuna, which was really good and a decent sized potion! The servers are always so friendly, and they want to ensure that you're having a good experience here. I love the outdoor seating cause you can look out onto the marsh and enjoy the view while you're eating! read more
