Restaurants in Murrells Inlet: A Culinary Tour
"The Hot Fish Club is perfect for a night out on the town, and can accommodate a variety of allergy-specific diets. Hot Fish Club specializes in seafood and steak, so we recommend their Surf & Turf platter to taste a little bit of everything. Their Flounder Platter hits the spot when you're looking for something fresh but not too filling."
"4911 US-17 BUS, Murrells Inlet SC • (843) 357-9175. This historic restaurant has stories that date back to the 1700s. However, today, Hot Fish Club serves fresh seafood to patrons, and is home to one of the best views in Murrells Inlet."
"Gulfstream Café was voted Best Restaurant With A View by The Sun News, as it is the only restaurant that boasts views overlooking the ocean on one side and Murrells Inlet on the other."
"It was our first time eating at the Gulfstream and it was wonderful experience. The service was wonderful, even in the midst if this pandemic loss of help."
"Like the name implies, dinner and drinks here are a live science experiment. This downtown Myrtle beach restaurant specializes in molecular gastronomy, with bizarrely-good plates like root beer, sesame-glazed, sous-vide lamb ribs over an artichoke quinoa risotto or scallops served over wakame, with sweet Thai butter and lemon “caviar.” Many of the drinks come smoking or served in lab equipment, like the frosty “flux capacitor” with St Germaine, Tito’s Vodka, lemon juice, house-made blackberry simple syrup, muddled mint leaves and a soda floater."
"If you’re looking for a unique dining experience check out The Chemist, located at 300 9th Avenue North. Try one of their craft cocktail concoctions served in a beaker glass while you browse the menu. Order an experiment (a Chemist appetizer) like ahi poke tuna or sweet potato tots served with a bacon maple dip."
"When was the last time you sat down to eat at a restaurant and a glass of liquid with smoke coming out of it was placed on your table?. I appreciate chefs and mixologists that are ambitious and artistic. This is clearly exhibited at the Chemist, making it a must on this Myrtle Beach Restaurants Guide!"
"Serving fresh local seafood with a distinct Italian flair, Costa Coastal Kitchen & Bar brings a fresh approach to a Murrells Inlet restaurant scene. Opened in 2016 by popular local chef Jim Pronesti, who also operates Cafe Piccolo in nearby Pawleys Island, Costa is "Chef Jimmy's" latest creation. Incorporating fresh local seafood from the nearby docks into traditional and not-so-traditional Italian dishes, Costa gives diners plenty of options for daily specials and fresh catches of the day."
"Just look for the huge, colorful sign out front, and you'll know that you've found Locals. A light and airy atmosphere awash in white serves as the backdrop for a menu that dishes up traditional American eats. Open for breakfast and lunch, Locals offers a traditional country breakfast of eggs made to order with bacon, sausage, country ham, grits, hash browns, biscuits and toast."
"Pawleys Island is known for its locally sourced seafood with nothing but fresh ingredients. Local is a newly opened restaurant where you can eat, drink, and celebrate with friends and family. Try some of their brunch, lunch, and supper menu items such as the Biscuit and Gravy or the Crispy Duck Confit, with reasonable prices ranging from $12 – $30."
