27 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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“From start to finish, the food was absolutely fantastic.“

“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.“

“Great staff! Great food! Pretzels, bean soup and Frito burrito!! All was yummy!“

“Last night I hosted a 70th bday for my mom & had Get Carried Away cater. The food & service were fantastic. They delivered to Garden City beach for a pool side fiesta & everyone raved about the food. I will definitely be using them again. Shout out to Aleene & her crew, thank you!!!“

“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.“

“The best smoothies, smoothie bowls, froyo and coffee in Litchfield with the sweetest people. This shop is a must stop if you are looking for a healthy and refreshing treat while in the Pawleys area!“

“2/12/2022 Saturday Arrived around 3:00 P.M. Not busy at all told to sit where we would like got to table and it was sticky all over the top of it mentioned to waitress she just looked at us we should have walked out but we were wanting to have the oysters so we endured the push off from the waitress we were very disappointed with the food and the very small amount of oysters that were brought to us food and dessert bar was very disgusting order a extra order of hushpuppies very cold and disgusting frozen hushpuppies very unclean unsantiary conditions all over the whole resturant“

“I have been going to Hanser House for years. Always consistent,
I enjoy their salads , They still have baked potatoes on the menu and food is always good. Obviously, for the previous review- it is in SC so I order appropriately. I wouldn't order flounder in Maine so I've never had a lobster in SC. Go for the shrimp or grouper or their chowder always good.

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

“Awesome staff and delicious food!!!“

“Try literally anything on the menu because I have found zero disappointing foods! 'The Beachy Big Jerk' is a slab of tuna steak, which is usually not my thing, but I was blown away by it! Currently eating some ridiculously good Thai Chili dipped tenders and tots!“

“Always the first breakfast spot I come to when here at Pawleys Island! Convenient and delicious. 🏝️ 🥚“

“Stumbled across this little bakery heading back from the beach. I wasn’t in the mood to fight crowds or anything heavy to eat. I just wanted an iced cup of coffee/latte & bagel. What I got was exceptional service, cold latte, and delicious chicken salad on a flaky croissant. The extra politeness of the young girl who waited on me was a pleasant touch. If I’m ever in the area again, I’d certainly stop again. It’s very rare to get a great drink, sandwich and even better customer service all in one quick stop.“

“Nice place, good bartenders great food. Real Butter! and the Key lime pie is my husband's favorite! Definitely a must try. No complaints here. Great environment.“

“Great BBQ. Highly recommend, and I am a ACF Master chef, hard to impress me“

“Loved the drinks and food, but too noisy for 5 oclock happy hour. We like to hear each other talk. Need to start music later.“

“Five Star Breakfast & Lunchs at Applewood! We highly recommend them.“

“Best chicken caesar wrap and green beans cooked in garlic and butter I've ever had. The Deck is such a peaceful and beautiful place to sit outside.“

“Great food Great Service. Always open no matter what!“

“It's now Pawleys Back Deck, but the food was phenomenal! Service was great! He was joking and giving us a hard time as we were ordering. He knew we were not locals! It was great!!!!

Wheelchair accessibility: There is handicap parking and a ramp to get on the deck, otherwise seating is easy easy, just move a chair outta the way.“
