About Hook & Barrel

Hook & Barrel is a popular restaurant in Myrtle Beach known for its excellent dining experience, inviting atmosphere, and friendly staff. The menu features dishes like filets and scallops, with standout options such as the blackened swordfish special and angry clams. Chef Heidi Vukov’s culinary skills are evident in every dish. Guests appreciate the small Caesar and wedge salads, which include handcrafted components like parmesan crisps and house-made croutons. The drinks, including the Hook & Barrel Old Fashioned and Hibiscus Cosmo, are memorable and well-presented. Families find the restaurant accommodating for young diners, offering juicy grilled chicken and flavorful fried shrimp. The fried fish bites are light, flavorful, and served with a delicious sauce, while the kids' fried shrimp and fries are popular among children. The blackened Mahi Mahi with scallops is considered one of the best meals. Desserts like the triple chocolate mousse are highly recommended, especially for sharing. The patio provides screens and foliage for privacy, enhancing the relaxed environment. Guests have enjoyed dishes such as crab stuffed flounder, crab cake, and burrata salad with shrimp, all praised for their perfect accompaniments.

Despite this, many guests have added Hook & Barrel to their annual beach trip weekly dinner list, citing good food, service, and atmosphere. The dessert, especially, remains a favorite.

My husband and I came to your restaurant with 6 other people our experience was wonderful until a fly landed in my glass of wine I asked for the manager (Nick) I had about a third of a glass of wine and that's EXACTLY what he brought me, I asked are you kidding, he said no we don't give away free Alcohol, that was rude!! we spent over $600 in your restaurant. I told him this is a high end restaurant and this is how you handle this over a $10 glass of wine. We weren't done dining, but when this happened we got our check and left.. I was so disappointed and he told me sorry you feel that way!!! We won't be back any time soon and I love dining there.

Do not understand people reviews. The food is fair at best, service excellent. The she crab soup taste like cream of vegetable, the broth in the cipinno taste like a can of tomato soup. Each of the items in our party were not good tasting.
