Top favorite place to hear love music in North Myrtle. The views, boardwalk around the restaurant and slips for boat docking makes it all the better. Local trends to book some of the best bands too.
They rarely seem to have enough servers or bar backs…. but the location, vibe, music and friendly staff make up for the mild frustration of having to wait. 🙂 All smiles and thumbs up.

Came in on a busy night, found out a band name chocolate chip was playing, they were amazing. Got greeted by a lovely host she did what she could and got us a terrific spot to watch the band play along with the view being breathtaking. Also the staff there were really helpful and kind, I ended up loving my server she was very attentive. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a good time this place has it going for them. Will be my new to go place. Food there was also fantastic even though I had to wait a little longer for it to come out, but I expected it due to the place being packed. Still came out delicious by the way. Hope you guys love this place as much as I did.

Avoid the fish, avoid the shrimp.
Listen, when they said this place was all about the experience, they weren’t kidding. The fish and chips and bang bang shrimp?
Sure, they tasted fine in the moment—serviceable, even—but the real adventure started about 30 minutes post-meal when my wife and I embarked on an intimate, synchronized porcelain meditation session that’s still ongoing.
Talk about a lasting impression. Most restaurants just fill your stomach; these folks really commit to the full digestive narrative arc. Very immersive. Very authentic. You really feel something, you know?
The atmosphere was actually great— coastal vibes —which almost makes you forget that our server seemed to be practicing the art of selective invisibility.
At $115 for two (yes, that included two drinks and an app), I’d say we definitely paid for an experience. Just maybe not the one advertised. But hey, if you’re looking to really connect with your bathroom on a spiritual level while questioning your life choices, this place delivers.
Would recommend if you have nowhere to be for the next 24-48 hours and enjoy bonding activities with your significant other.
[Edit to reply from owner: I take my reviews very seriously, as you may have guessed. We selectively tried our leftovers and it was definitely the shrimp that had issues as we could reliably replicate our bathroom time.
Cost – yes, $115 is all-in. There’s no other way from a guest perspective to state it any other way. If we’re out $115, then it would be deceptive to just state the food price. Especially if you’re automatically (also) suggesting 25% tip on an automated device while the waiter is watching what tip you give – may not be intended, but this is a guilt trip that I just won’t condone – and my wife falls easier for that than I do. So, this time, it was my wife, paying and the amount reflected that. We’ll come back as we like your location, but we’ll avoid the shrimp. Make sense?]

The atmosphere was next level and phenomenal. The seafood boil that we enjoyed was some of the best seafood that I’ve experienced. Additionally, we had a group of 50+ and our table was never empty. The staff were attentive and the drinks were flowing. I’m so glad that we chose this place to eat at and I look forward to coming back.

I don’t know if we went on the wrong day but they were out of mixings for drinks margarita ect, I ordered a mermaid mocktail, it came out different everytime, I ordered 3, my husband ordered ranch on the side & the person waiting on us said they were out of it & she said something like they would have to take it out of the kitchen & charge us 50 cents, my husband said sure, I’m not worried about it,thank you, we didn’t see our waitress for 15+ minutes & in that time span this guy who I’m assuming was a manager asked us if we were all set & my husband said could I please have ranch, he came back in 30 seconds with ranch & we didn’t see the 50 cents on our bill??? We were so confused.
They said live music was at 6pm the band started playing music at 715 played one song & didn’t play again until 45 minutes later & that was It.
We did enjoy the beans bags, the swings & sand toys for the kids are great thought.
It was good food but didn’t make me say ” we gotta go back ” which is a bummer it’s a beautiful spot on the water & has potential.

Our favorite since we moved to the area, by far. Can’t say enough good things about the venue, the food & the staff. Kelsey, Our last server, took the ribbing of my hubbie totally in stride. The band that night Uptown Easy, was awesome. Hope to see this band again at the Local in the future.
