“I don’t always walk into a sports pub planning to stay for one game and leave after three, but when I do, it’s because a place like this got everything right.

From the moment I walked through the door, I knew this wasn't just another restaurant with a few televisions hanging on the wall pretending to be a sports bar.

This is the kind of place where the food matters, the drinks are cold, the staff knows your name after a couple visits, and every big play somehow feels bigger when you're watching it surrounded by other fans.

The atmosphere hits the sweet spot. Family-friendly enough to bring the kids for dinner, lively enough to meet friends for the game, and comfortable enough that nobody is checking their watch wondering when it's time to leave.

The menu is loaded with crowd-pleasers, but what impressed me most was the consistency. Every plate coming out of the kitchen looked like something you'd be happy to steal a bite of from the next table. Portions were generous, flavors were on point, and nobody left hungry.

Parking was easy. Service was attentive. The restaurant was clean. The televisions were positioned perfectly throughout the building, meaning there really isn't a bad seat in the house.

As a husband and father, I've learned that finding a place everyone agrees on is harder than it should be. One person wants burgers. Another wants wings. Someone wants a salad. Somebody else wants to watch the game.

This place solves all of those problems at once.

The real magic, though, is the atmosphere. By the end of the meal, you realize you're not sitting in a restaurant.

You're sitting in the community's living room.

The place where birthdays are celebrated, victories are cheered, friendships are built, and Monday somehow becomes a little more interesting.

I came in expecting good food and a game on TV.

I left understanding why the parking lot stays full.

Some restaurants serve meals. The best ones become traditions. This is one of them.

Stay hungry, my friends. 🍔🍺🏈😎“

“Good food, good beer, huge space and ample seating indoor and outdoor. Parking is mostly street parking, but there was plenty on a Friday night. Broad beer selection from IPA to malty ale to sours. Food was tasty, and suited 13-to-50 year old well.“

“The food is fantastic! KUDOS to my favorite chef, Nick Marshall! The atmosphere is relaxing and fun…live music is great! The staff is very friendly and personable! I would highly recommend establishing Neal’s as a regular hang out! What an awesome addition to our small, quaint local community in Murrells Inlet.“

“Buckets is really a hidden gem in Myrtle Beach. We have been coming here for years. The food is great, nice views of the beach, and Coleman the owner is delightful. Best strawberry daiquiris ANYWHERE!!! If you're looking for a nice, little spot for a low-key dinner, Buckets is the perfect spot.“

“Stopped in for a quick dinner! Great food and cool atmosphere. Bartender/server was great! Chatted with us about how the restaurant came to be. Cool kid and we enjoyed him he was great! Very well mannered and treated us well! We will be back in soon!“

“We were there during the bike rally. Took a few mins to order and it was cool inside which was great to take a break from the heat. They have a very limited menu but the food was good. It is fun walking around outside and looking at the beautiful bikes and all the goods offered by the vendors. The band was good and the beer was cold. Gonna try to be there every year. Love their night life!“

“Abigail did a great job attending to our group. She followed up regularly and had a terrific demeaner and attitude.“

“The food was good service was poor and music was too loud.“

“I come here everytime i come to any beach nearby. Actually I drove an hour to get here this time. I came from ocean isle beach. Last time it was surfside beach. I love the bang bang shrimp and the chili cheese fries.
The new thing was that they took pictures and you have options to buy but you get 1 free if you don’t want the rest or its 55 for all“

“Absolutely delicious!! We had the blackened oysters and buffalo shrimp that were out of this world!!! My husband said his fish tacos were the best he ever had!! Highly recommend!!!“

Been coming here for over 10 years and keep coming back and trust me, I am not that easy to please. I am a senior level reviewer on Trip Advisor and just toped over 111,000 reads of my reviews. Trust me, for the best food and experience in the grand strand you will want to come here.“

“bartender is hit or miss depending on who's working,food was so-so Philly cheese steak virtually no cheese bun fell apart with first bite. Unless you're a local don't count on more than 1 drink(back to who's working)“

“Great service and great food!“

“My husband and I frequent Inlet Sports Bar several times a week. Since the new owners took over about a year and a half ago we are regulars. Their food is phenomenal and also very very reasonable as compared to other bar/restaurants along the Marsh Walk and Inlet area. We especially love their homemade mac and cheese and I love the Pinwheel (chicken club) All of the bartenders are great. It is our favorite place to go!!“

“this chicken is the BEST IVE EVER HAD, normally places just fill my hunger but this place brought it to a new level, I’m never the type to write reviews but the food here was amazing, chicken and red velvet waffles 100000/10 i WISH i had this place in my home town“

“Great cocktails while we waited to check into our condo. I had a rum punch and my daughter had a blue Hawaiian. They have a good menu for pool side eats as well. And if you’re interested in a alcohol free drink they offer that too. Delicious smoothie and milkshake options as well.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely serves kid friendly meals and snacks!

Wheelchair accessibility: The pool and bar area are very accessible by persons with disabilities.“

The food was excellent as well!!! I had the pepperoni pizza and loved it. Great service, great food, and an overall fantastic experience. Jason is a huge asset to your team.“

“Calm and relaxing atmosphere. The fries were literally the best I've ever had, didn't even need ketchup with them. I had the beef brisket and it melted in my mouth. The fat was perfectly rendered and it tasted amazing. My wife had the ribeye and it came out exactly as it was asked. The potatoes were also really good. Service was super friendly and it made for a fun evening“

“My husband and I ate here for lunch. Food was soooo good and the service was even better. Our waitress was so friendly and attentive. The frozen drinks are amazing. Definitely worth eating here!“

“I absolutely recommend Magoo's, I love the atmosphere -its very laid back and just a great place to stop not only on weekends, but after work and love going out to eat here and the food is AMAZING & QUICK!! The huge difference between Magoo's and all the others around is the staff and food and again the atmosphere (Chicken wings of any kind you could possibly dream of -yes, even those sweetest dreams!! ❤️ ❤️ I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE -ANYDAY OF THE WEEK- If you doubt any of this, please stop by there and spend 5mins and grab some food. you won't be sorry!!!

“Favorite bar in Myrtle Beach!“

“This is our second trip to Myrtle Beach, and I think our sixth time at this tiki bar. It NEVER fails to deliver on yummy food, the service is lovely, and the drinks are amazing!“

“The hubs and I stopped by on a Saturday for our date night. We waited approximately 2 minutes before we were seated. They had a lively karaoke lineup, pool tables in the back, and a few options on the TVs.

We had the bacon wrapped scallops, fried Mahi bites, and a pepperoni pizza. The scallops were incredibly delicious with the bacon cooked just right for us. Their butter isn't melted or solid. It's perfection! The Mahi bites with cocktail sauce were so flaky and tender. I attempted cutting it with a fork and it shredded. The pizza was one of the best we've have outside of NYC, NJ, and Philly.

Management and servers were all friendly, sweet, and helpful. You can tell they take pride in their work and business. We will be back!“

“Staffing issues in the area have hit all restaurants, and locals know this. Visitors may complain because their expectations are in vacation mode. Gordon Biersch has great food and beers. Be patient, enjoy your vacation, and realize your attitude may be part of the issue.“

“Yall gather round and let me paint a picture for you.
Two guys in town for a work trip wander downstairs and into a resort bar at the breakers. Not expecting much more than a bored retiree looking for something to do, WRONG! You're met with Jackie. Jackie is THE BEST. She made that bar feel like there was 300 people having a good time, meanwhile it was a slow Sunday evening and just a hand full of stragglers finishing off the last few fries left on their plates. Jackie didn't care, she welcomed everyone in with a smile and a gesture that just made you know it was going to be a night to remember. Thank you honey, you truly made mine and Kass' first night of vacation, I mean work trip memorable. Can't wait until our next trip❤️
