“We are here often when we are down. Friendly, laid back, beautiful view (beach front), entertainment often, and great prices! We have NEVER waited for a drink, even when busy. Always greeted on arrival, and responsive, so I'm not certain what the situation was on a previous post? We love it (and apparently so do many, as the deck is generally full). ❤️“

“The food was amazing and the entertainment was top tier! The pirates kept a smile on my kids faces and the mermaid never broke character- such a neat place! We all left super full and happy! We can’t wait for our next trip here.“

“This was a great place to relax while eating AMAZING food!! The customer service was great and the chef Anton was GREAT with his customer service! I’ll definitely come again!!“

“Asked for a Negroni, it was amazing. Really helped loosen me up for my shopping spree at Trader Joes later that day. Our server, Steven, was attentive, considerate, and represented the company well. Great staff like him make a place like this worth visiting tome and time again. Five stars.“

“The Noizy Oyster is my new favorite restaurant at Myrtle Beach! Great service, Great food! I had the grilled oysters with Parmesan cheese and garlic, and the shrimp tacos ANDDD, the hibiscus margarita that was so good I had another! Our waiter, Kyle was very attentive and a pleasant server. I’m already looking forward to my next visit here!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a great experience in every aspect! We’ll be back for sure… sooner than later!“

“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.“

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

“My wife and I joined in September and are certainly hooked on this wonderful place. Top notch fun at a reasonable price. You can go play for a daily rate ($30) and it is well worth it or join for $25 a month and play unlimited mini golf, cornhole, ping pong, tons of big TVs, and much, much, more included. They have special events for members and tournaments weekly, so much fun! Chad runs the tourneys and has done an amazing job! We hope for lots more tourneys and events. Oh, and the food, service, and people are top shelf! Go check it out, let's play!“

“I discovered Buckets a few years ago on a trip with friends. The impression was enough to make it a point to visit multiple times during my visits to the Golden Mile. The owners are great people who really know how to treat their guests. Coleman and Kate have created an incredible beachfront space that you HAVE to put on your itinerary.

The food is always delicious, priced well, and is sure to satisfy! The drinks are expertly crafted and they even offer specials.

Until next time… 😎(which will be very soon)“

“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.“

“A#1 bartender, Kimmi Duke! Great service, food, atmosphere, friendly staff and location! Check them out! You will not regret!🫶🌅☀️⛱️“

“The food, waitress and atmosphere were excellent. We'll definitely be back. The grouper bites and asian salad were delicious. Thanks for having a GF menu too ! Spouse had a great fish fry basket. Glad we ate here !“

“We stopped in on a rainy day and it ended up being the best food we had on our vacation! The employees were so nice and helpful, the atmosphere was fun, and the food was wonderful!“

“My wife and I had our first experience at Gios this week for our anniversary. Laurie was our server and was phenomenal. I had the Veal Mediterranean and my wife enjoyed the Chicken Alfredo. We enjoyed the charcuterie board and the escargot for appetizers and finished with the Tiramisu. Everything was fantastic! We will be back!“

“exelente lugar para ir a comer mariscos con la familia“

“The beverages were fantastic and our bartender, Bubba, made us feel at home plus assured us their food was even better. And it was! I have already invited other family members to join us at Coconut Charlie’s and they enjoyed the place, the food, and the drinks as much as we did. Thank you Bubba! And a shout out to Zuezan (the evening bartender) too.“

“Our family and a bunch of our friends had a great time at Sharkey’s, the ocean view is spectacular, the food and the drinks were top notch! We highly recommend!“

“Had dinner and drinks on Thankgiving eve. The restaurant and bar were packed. Our appetizers and meals were great. The portions huge! We sat at a table on the bar side. Our waiter, Steven was exceptional. This young man enjoys what he's doing and it shows. Thanks for a great meal and experience.“

“Easy, relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. Enjoyed an evening meal and some live music. Portions are generous with spicy street corn, tasty mashed potatoes and thin-sliced brisket with crispy edges. Cocktails were creative and delicious. A great stop near the beach.“

“I can’t understand why there would be any negative reviews. We just left there not even 5 minutes ago and I had to get on here and give praise where it’s due. Marc was our server and was great. Chips, fries, strawberry daiquiris, Philly and Cuban sandwich ALL AMAZING. Best Philly I’ve ever had. Only thing I’m disappointed about is that I didn’t give this place a try sooner, because we leave tomorrow 😭 10+ stars ⭐️“

“Great live entertainment last night (7/16) outside! The food, drinks, and service was spot on as well.“
