Absolutely delicious! Great food, beautiful atmosphere, and incredible service! Sydney waited on us and she was amazing! Very helpful with recommendations as this was our first time here! We got she crab soup (which was probably some of the best on the beach), crab cakes, and the gumbo with fried flounder. The crab cakes are mostly crab, not a lot of fillers. Everything was perfect! Highly recommend!

First time visiting this place and we loved it. Arrived just before sunset and we were seated by the water. Enjoyed a drink and app to start. All four of us ordered different fish and seafood dishes and we were all very happy with our selections! I got the seafood linguini and my husband got the red snapper. Waitstaff were extremely friendly and efficient, lively music yet we could still
Carry on a conversation with our friends. Highly recommend!

Had a wonderful valentines dinner here. Everything we had was well prepared, and delicious. Also exceptional drinks. Wonderful view of Murrells Inlet at sunset. Jann our server was delightful, and very attentive. She did this while working a very busy dinner crowd. I will ask for her when we eat here again.

We were greeted as soon as we walked in and welcomed. Sydney our wait person was really nice and made us feel comfortable immediately. I really enjoyed my salad with fried shrimp. Of course the view is a major part of the meal and i loved gazing out the windows. The owner/manager came around to say hello and ask us how we were doing which we appreciated. All in all a great experience.

Had a great experience here last night! Was a great place to have our first meal while on vacation. The food was amazing and everything came out perfectly. The staff was super attentive and genuinely kind, which made the whole night even better. Shoutout to the manager Rob for being so welcoming, and our server Sid the Squid was awesome. Great vibes all around. We’ll definitely be back!

Wow! I just kept saying “Wow.”, while enjoying dinner tonight. We came for the view but the food was far superior to the gorgeous sunset.
Our waitress, Ms Ripley, was cheerful, attentive and very polite. Kudos to the staff & chefs. We WILL come back.

This was my first visit to the Quay ! The views were gorgeous and the food was simply amazing! Hands down the best fried green tomatoes in town! We had the best waitress, Caty. Rob, the manager, was great as well! They both made sure we were comfortable and had all we needed! If you have never been, you need to go!❤️. Thank you to all who made our dinner amazing!

We loved this restaurant! It was raining but started to clear up and the view was gorgeous! I had the best shrimp & grits that I’ve had in years. Hubby had the shrimp and chicken linguini and it was also delicious. The wine pour was good and they brought your beer to you in a glass. Katie was our server and she was great. The manager was also very kind. We enjoyed talking to him. I did notice how quiet it was and looked up to see they have installed panels to absorb the sound. The parking is tight so carpool if you can. We will definitely come back to this restaurant. Try it… you won’t be disappointed!

The Quay is our new favorite restaurant. Known for their fresh fish and seafood but their other dishes deserve rave reviews as well. The chicken parm was the best I’d ever tasted and the hamburgers aren’t your regular ho-hum burgers. The servers are friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. We really enjoy Ripley’s personality. We also love the fact that they all seem to work together well as a team. The manager, Rob, personally goes table to table making sure that everyone is happy with their experience there. Also, the sunset views are breathtaking. This is a must try restaurant and once you do it’ll be your new favorite too!

Absolutely fantastic food, service, and views!! Our waitress Rippley was so personable and fun and incredibly attentive the whole time. The GM Rob was also kind and introduced himself and it is clear that he really values his guests’ experiences. The coconut shrimp are so fresh and juicy and my cajun linguine was sinfully good. As we were leaving a waitress noticed I was taking a selfie of the with the sunset and my parents, and she offered to take the photos for us! We sat on the side counter and had an incredible view of the inlet and Garden City Beach!
