26 Best American Restaurants in Pawleys Island

“We had dinner at Perrone's Restaurant last night and every aspect of our meal was great. From friendly bartenders to attentive servers, we enjoyed our dinner thoroughly. We tried an octopus and a mussel appetizer, and both were flavorful and delicious. The mussel sauce in particular was so good, I could have sopped it up with an entire loaf of bread. Entrees were generous portions, and the chocolate cake for dessert was really good. If you are within an hour of this restaurant and have not tried it, you're missing one of the two or three best on the entire Grand Strand.“

“What a great restaurant. We go there at least once a week. We really enjoy the mussels and the wings. They have several dishes that are really good. Live music on the weekends. Great outdoors area so you can enjoy the outdoors. Service is always incredible!! You most check this restaurant out.“

“Beautiful people, experience, music 🎵 and always (everytime) an awesome/fun time. Best music in Pawleys. You don’t believe me? Have an experience you’re self. GREAT good, ask there soup special. At least order the pizza 🍕“

“Early Bird menu is incomparable! Amazing food and staff!“

“We have attended several functions at the Golf Club, and have never been disappointed. The food is always delicious, the dining room and bar are spotless, and Chef Kelly is so personable and quality-conscientious, it's a pleasure to dine here.“

“Our favorite dining experience this trip! The atmosphere is stunning- warm and inviting, beautiful,with lush plants and lighting everywhere. The food was amazing I had the steak and my daughter had the Halibut. What truly set the experience apart was Myke our server, the most helpful and genuine personable person, very attentive and offered great recommendations. He made us feel right at home. Great food, friendly service, and beautiful atmosphere.“

“This review is from the perspective of a low handicapper. Hopefully this will be of help as Pawleys Plantation is as breathtaking as it is is difficult. Pros Course is well conditioned though in my round, the Bermuda grass was in transition to rye. Fringes were a little furry and greens were not as fast as they could be. They were resort average. They were all small like a typical Nicklaus course. Sand was smooth and consistent and layout was overall impressive. Especially on the back 9. Fairways were soft but we could ride our carts on them. Greens held nicely. Good practice area and generally friendly clubhouse staff. Cons The 9th hole is ridiculous. Why Jack Nicklaus would stick a big fat tree in the middle of the fairway is beyond me. The hole is tough enough with OB, narrow fairways and an undulating green with a false front. Pro shop staff was kind of indifferent. Pace of play was slow too. I got paired with a single and we later joined with another twosome that as it turns out was slow. It took us 4:40 to finish. Also while they didn’t bother me, the average golfer might find some holes nearly impossible. No 17 for instance requires a mid iron over marsh to a shallow bulk headed green. Range balls were included in the green fee but you only got like 15 balls.“

“Bistro 217 sat my little family last minute with no reservation on a busy Monday night instead of turning us down. And when I asked for an extra fruit cup for my 2yo, they not only grabbed one for me they cut the grapes too! Huge win for momma trying to eat with a child on her lap. Thank you so much for being so kind. And as always food was delicious.“

“Dined after an event in the area and enjoyed a wonderful meal. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable and the food was both beautiful and delicious! Highly recommend and we will return soon.“

“Have wanted to try Hanser House for years and finally got the opportunity tonight. My husband and I agree, this has been one of the best meals we have ever had! Will definitely be back again and again.“

“Had the special last night for dinner. It was delicious! Linguini and clams! I’m still thinking about it. Sooooo very good!“

“We were in town visiting for a week and we went there at least 4 times. Super delicious acai bowls, smoothies, juices, and coffee. Highly recommend, all natural ingredients and great customer service. Will definitely plan on coming back here next time we're in town.“

“Had the penne alla.vodka today was awesome and my friend had ravioli and we both had a slice of pizza. He said best ravioli he has ever had and my penne alla Vodka was delicious and the pizza hands down best I have tasted in West Palm Beach.“

“Great staff and owners who are always giving back to the public/locals. Great food and great atmosphere!“

“I want to compliment you on the Low Country Boil and Perlo that you prepared for my golf group of 30 men. I wanted to introduce the 15 guys from the North (Michigan) to the fabulous food of the South, and you had them crying for more. The boil was delicious and plentiful. The shrimp were large, and they couldn't finish them all. My wife makes your location our first stop when we come to Pawleys every year. Well done, and your staff is so pleasant.“
