The 17 best places to go out in Murrells Inlet

We had an incredible dining experience at Drunken Jack’s! The salmon was absolutely phenomenal — it literally melted in my mouth. Perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The hush puppies were amazing as well, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. We also tried one of their dinner specials, which did not disappoint — everything was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. There was live guitar music during our visit, which added a really nice touch to the atmosphere without being too loud. The restaurant offers plenty of seating, including an upstairs area, indoor seating, and a spacious outdoor patio. It’s very family-friendly, which made it a great choice for dining with our child. For two adults and one child, including appetizers, our total bill was under $115 — a great value considering the quality of the food and service. Highly recommend Drunken Jack’s if you're looking for delicious seafood, a relaxing vibe, and a family-friendly environment.

I love love this place. Love all the cute dog photos and memorials. Very sweet idea. Food is always amazing! We come here every time we come to the beach, multiple times a year! The Cobb salad is huge and a nice surprise. I added blackened shrimp. Also, the hush puppies are delicious!

My partner and I are on vacation and decided to venture away from myrtle beach and check this area out. Mind you it’s crazy since it’s bike week and so far today has been beautiful. Silly me paid $30 for parking out of confusion which isn’t the restaurants fault. The roof top outside dining was beautiful. Our server was so sweet and I wish I remembered her name. Our bloody Mary’s were so tasty. We got the dragon egg appetizer and omg was it delicious! My boyfriend got some risotto special with the catch of the day and I got the crab cake sandwich. They both were so tasty! We wish we would’ve found this place sooner vs on our last day vacationing. We will be coming back next time we’re in the area. Thank you for such a lovely dining experience. We unfortunately have had a lot of bad luck so far on our trip and yall made that up be being kind and providing great service with wonderful food and drinks!

We had a fantastic dinner here with excellent food and service. Our waiter Sully was patient, charismatic and helpful. We ordered two soups, the chowder and she crab (we preferred the she crab). For entrees we had the lobster pot pie, huge portion and unreal in the best way. Also the Chilean sea bass with risotto which was a little salty but cook on the fish was absolutely perfect. We would totally return again since there is so many great things on the menu.

Excellently prepared fresh and well flavored food. We were seated in 10 minutes rather than 45 minutes as initially told for a party of 10 during dinner hours. Our sweet waitress Victoria provided us attentive service throughout our meal. We also had perfect lemon drop shots made with real lemon! We will definitely visit again when we are in town, thank you for an excellent experience.

Beautiful gardens with very helpful volunteers peppered through the gardens. The sculptures are both breathtaking and thought provoking. We had lunch at Harvest, and the selection was lovely and the food delicious. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer!

One of the best oyster po boys I've had. It was packed with oysters. Our server was great too. We will definitely go back next time we are done here.

Came here during bike week. What a blast. Great bands as well. Definately worth coming back.

Went for the first time to enjoy their happy hour appetizers and drinks. We had the mini crab balls, fried calamari and fried cod bites, a few oysters and some fries. We definitely were not disappointed. Everything was delicious, service was great, atmosphere m, prices were amazing and the view perfect. Best raw oysters I’ve had in a long time. Portions for happy hour appetizers were huge. We took food home. I’m only sad we haven’t come here before since we only live 5 minutes away. My wife and I do a date night once a week, at least. This will be our new go to place. Thank you.

I liked this place and I believe it deserves better google score. The food was good, they served complementary bread and butter. Even during rush hour, they were kind and responsive with any thing we needed. They also have nice outside space. This place is recommended.

What a surprise! We have been coming to the marshwalk area since I was a child, and I’m now almost 60. We have our favorites, and we tend to get into a groove. But, last week we were in Garden City Beach and it snowed! Not a little bit of snow. Actual New-England-type-snow. But, since we have lived in New England at some point in our lives, we knew how to drive in the white stuff. The problem was finding anything open. We were surprised and thrilled to see the Bubba‘s Love Shak red ‘open’ sign was lit! We were also surprised that when we entered, there was a roaring fire. I pulled up a chair next to the fire and never left. The server came and delivered our drinks and our food, and I just ate my shrimp on my lap. The final surprise was in the quality of the food. Wow! The house salad, which comes with a house dressing that is equal parts honey mustard and a hot bacon, was outstanding. It was really large, and when I poured both dressings on and mixed them together it was one of the best salads I have had in years! I ordered the fried shrimp special which came with the house salad and a side, and I chose the mashed potatoes. They were “OK” and were the only little bit of disappointment in the meal, because I’ve had more flavorful mashed potatoes. But the salad and the shrimp more than made up for it! Next time I’ll just choose a different side. My husband had a fish sandwich. He also found it flavorful and it was a nice-sized portion. And our server… Our server was attentive, funny, always looking to see if we needed another drink or anything else. I really wish I remember her name, as she was just delightful. Bottom line, we will be back! We have an entire list of places we go on the marshwalk, and this will now be at the top. Cannot wait to introduce our friends to this restaurant, because we have been basically stuck in a loop of going to the same ones year over year. The only other disappointment was that they had to close the bar, and I was craving one more wonderful rum punch next to the fireside, but it was getting slick outside, and I am just so thankful that they opened at all and allowed a few of the locals to come in and enjoy a respite from the snow and weather. Also, I had never seen the Marshwalk in the snow, so there are some photos attached here. It was lovely!

I had the absolute pleasure of spending 10 unforgettable days with the Beaver Bar family at the outside bar—and what an experience it was. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel like part of the crew. Their hospitality, energy, and good vibes were unmatched. EVERYONE should be incredibly proud of the team they've built. The atmosphere is laid-back, welcoming, and filled with character. Whether you're a local or just passing through, the Beaver Bar is more than a stop—it's an experience. I truly had the time of my life and can’t recommend this national icon enough. Do yourself a favor and pay them a visit—you won’t regret it.

Food was great but the atmosphere and service were even better! Kayla was our server and she was phenomenal. So kind and made sure we had everything we needed. She was so sweet to our little ones. The DJ was playing great music. The pirate ship playground was a hit with our little ones along with the music and Kayla!

Living in the area i tend to avoid the marsh walk during tourist season. We were lucky on a Saturday afternoon to find the area not busy. Probably due to thunderstorms coming in and out during the day. I love to walk along the marsh. I wish the walkway was longer. Relaxing just to take the sights in. If you are coming for music and drinks, this is your place. You can go from bar to bar and listen to all sorts of music. If you are not into motorcycles, check the calendar. Bike week 2x a year. The marsh wall area is extremely busy.

We bought a box of James River oysters that had come just the day prior to our purchase date. They were fresh and delicious. Also picked up some grouper. It was top quality. Great selection of fresh fish and shellfish.

Scott and Awesome lady ( sorry forgot your name!) of Blue wave dolphin tour was amazing! Super down to earth, knowledgeable and down right fun. They made us feel comfortable and can tell they really care about the ocean and what they do. The took us right to a dolphin pod and we watched for an hour as they danced in the water for us. We took the Osprey tour, smaller and much more fun in my opinion. Thank you Blue Wave! Highly recommend!

I have played a lot of golf courses never have I played one this perfect tee to green. Absolutely mind blowing
