“Good food, all around really good food but.... for some reason they don't have sourdough toast. I ask for it every time, you'd think after 6 months of asking they'd figure out people really do like SOURDOUGH toast. That's my only complaint. Good portions and really good food.“

“Wowza! This place served up a grilled chicken sandwich that rocked my taste buds like a concert! Paired it with a diet coke because, you know, gotta watch that figure while indulging in deliciousness. The sandwich was so juicy, it had me questioning if chickens secretly moonlight as magicians. And the coke? Well, it fizzed and danced like it was auditioning for a soda commercial.But seriously, folks, this joint knows how to do food right. The ambiance was cozy, the staff was as friendly as a litter of golden retriever puppies, and the whole experience left me grinning like a Cheshire cat.In conclusion, if I could, I'd eat here every single day without hesitation. Do yourself a flavor and swing by for a grilled chicken sandwich extravaganza! Five stars !!!“

“I love mostly everything about this place. It's a true gem! My only problem was the smell of the bathroom. It wasn't stink, you just could tell it was the bathroom and I'm not a fan of smelling the bathroom around my food, lol! Im sure this can be adjusted based on where you sit in the restaurant. Outside of that, everything else was 5 star in my opinion. I found this place on yelp after searching for a place to celebrate my young child's birthday. I loved that it had kid friendly food as well as adult comfort meals. The food reminded me of diner food, something your Grandma would cook. Nothing too fancy, but they got options ranging from steak, fried or baked options, and veggie and gluten free options. We came in the middle of the week and at times, my child had the entire arcade to himself. He felt like a VIP especially since it was his birthday, lololol! $20.00 took us a long was in the arcade. I was tired, but of course my kids had a ball LOL! The staff singed "happy birthday" and gave a cookie with a candle in it. Super sweet! Thanks for making my child's birthday special!“

“So, in case you're new to my reviews, I grew on the coast of SC. My wife and I grew up eating seafood in Murrells Inlet. It was the seafood capital of SC for many years. I know good seafood when I find it. This is a very clean and quiet restaurant. Booth seating. They are roomy enough for four, the tables are wall mounted, no wobbling or knocking knees! Cozy for a couple side by side roomy for two face to face. The service was great. The staff is very polite and professional. Our server, Alexis, was very attentive and polite. We got the fried mushrooms with ranch as an appetizer. Served piping hot in a boat shaped basket. Seasoned well. We enjoyed it. We both ordered the broiled seafood platter. Everything was hot and seasoned well. The fish was flaky and fresh. The scallops and shrimp were very good. I'm not big a fan of clams, but their stuffed clam was awesome. It won me over. The stuffed crab was great as well. The hush puppies are finger shaped and light, fluffy and tasty. We both liked the sweet tea, very important detail for southern dinners. This dinner was to celebrate our 44th wedding anniversary. This will be our go-to seafood restaurant for the future. They have a full bar, a warm and cozy atmosphere, and I think you should give them a try. Large menu to choose from. I know you'll find something good here.“
