25 Best American Restaurants in Pawleys Island

“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.“

“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.“

“My favorite restaurant in Pawleys, however please bring back the Hawaiian salad.“

“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.“

“Was disappointed in the crab cake. I always looked forward to the crab cake sandwich, but no longer. The crab cake tasted like canned crab meat. Will not order again.“

“We love J Peters in Pawleys Island. We are frequent visitors. Our one complaint - which we have mentioned to our waitress and the staff, the restaurant is cold and to the point it's uncomfortable. We've asked them more than once to "warm it up" - and the staff agrees - but our comments fall on deaf ears. It never changes!“

“Best chicken salad around! Chicken king dip is delicious and goes fast once heated up at home. Plenty of premade casseroles and food to choose from.
Pro tip: add a crustless tomato pie (chopped up) to home cooked pasta for a delicious pasta casserole. Add some cooked meatballs, sausages, veg for a flavorful meal!“

“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.“

“We visited Applewood House of pancakes yesterday for breakfast. We missed the sign to the entrance, but once we found our way we were greeted upon entering. The menu has some good selection to choose from. I had crepes with strawberry compote and my friend had a pancake with eggs and sausage. Overall, it was a good experience. The waitstaff was friendly, and the food came out in a reasonable timeframe. The prices were in line with what we see of normal breakfast areas.“

“Coastal Dish has always been one of our favorite breakfast spots at Litchfield. Unfortunately, this year they changed the way they do the breakfast buffet, and it was pretty much the same selection every day. In the past, there seemed to be more variety from day to day, which we really enjoyed. The food is still good, but if you have the breakfast coupons from Litchfield Beach, just know there may not be much variety during your stay.“

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