    Ate here twice actually. The first time, earlier around lunch, I ordered the crab nachos. They were delicious! The second time, later that same day, I ordered (upon the recommendation by their awesome employees Sam and Erin) their "Surf and Turf Tacos". They consisted of grilled chipotle-seasoned shrimp & marinated beef tenderloin topped with mango salsa. This was most definitely a Winner!! There's plenty of both inside and outside seating at this Murrell's Inlet waterside establishment. We were outside (which is actually all covered) at the bar which provides great views of the water. Oh yeah, and as one passes through the inside dining on the way to the outdoor bar, be sure to glance to the walls on your right that are covered with dog pictures and photos. Nice! The staff are friendly and helpful. Sam and Erin were working their buttooskies off getting drinks and orders for everyone at the bar and still had time to occasionally stop and chat with the patrons at the bar. Prices are very reasonable, the atmosphere is laidback and friendly, and the food is great! I highly recommend you check them out. In my future bike travels, if I ever return to the Myrtle Beach area, I'm making this a must visit!

    Dined at Dead Dog for the Fourth of July. No wait at 4:30, great food, great service. Ordered shrimp tacos, kids meals, Queens Platter, Chili queso dogs and a Smokey pig. All cooked to perfection. There's a stage for a band but they hadn't played yet, not until evening. Right on the inlet facing the water and marsh walk. Absolutely beautiful.

    Prime Rib sandwich with tater tots
    Carroll S.

    The free hush puppies were a nice and delicious surprise. I had the prime rib sandwich. It was delicious! The horseradish sauce over the prime rib with crispy onions with a soft roll- so tender. My friend got their hamburger and it looked good too. They offer tater tots for a side! Got a kick out of the restrooms- setters or pointers. Hilarious!! Staff friendly- all that passed our table made sure we were doing good. We sat outside in the covered area and there was a perfect cooling breeze. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect day to enjoy their patio.

    I always get so excited when I know we are going to Dead Dog. We sat at the bar as usual and ordered cocktails. A cosmopolitan for me and something for him. We started and shared the boo boo bites. These are always delicious. Then I ordered a cup of chili and he ordered the egg rolls. My chili was good but I don't remember it being so spicy. No room for dessert. If you see me there, stop by and say hello.

    Scenic. A great spot on the inlet. All the ideal menu items for this type of saloon on the water. I loved my crab cakes and French Onion soup. Others had blackened fish sandwiches, fish tacos, and shrimp and grits. All good. There for a cold spell in November. Back patio was sunny, warm and buzzing at lunch. Fast turn around time and good eats...woof woof.

    Fantastic restaurant, a definite must visit! This restaurant is covered with pictures of dogs that have passed away in a celebration of life and the general companionship of our furry friends. It reminded me a lot of a Día De Los Muertos style of remembrance. You might think this would make for a sad ambiance, but it was actually very inviting! Decorations of cute dogs on the windows, hanging lights, and cartoon style tabletops. The live music was very good too! The food was great. Complementary hush puppies were seasoned well accompanied by a delicious honey butter. The fried fish and shrimp were tender, crispy, and salted perfectly. No tails or veins on the shrimps. The chicken wings were decent, a bit dry, and sides were nothing too special. Certainly not worth paying a la carte prices for, but they did come with the meals. I was absolutely astounded by how fast the food came out considering the entire place was packed. There were so many employees working that the service was still excellent. The ambiance, location right on the docks, great seafood, bars, and live music make this a must for any families or people looking for a popular place to grab a drink and watch sports

    Outdoor dining

    If you're heading down to Dead Dog Saloon in Murrels Inlet, don't let the modest exterior fool you--what's waiting inside (and outside) is a laid-back coastal experience that's hard to beat. We chose the outdoor seating, and it was absolutely worth it. Overlooking the inlet, we enjoyed a peaceful view of small boats drifting by--one of those simple moments that makes a meal feel like a mini getaway. I went with the crab cake sandwich and fries, while Helen ordered the Cuban with tater tots. As someone from Virginia, I'm usually cautious with crab cakes--too often they're all filler and no flavor--but this one was refreshingly light, packed with crab, and genuinely delicious. One of the best surprises? The hush puppies. We had heard great things but didn't see them on the menu--turns out, they bring them out complimentary when you're seated. And yes, they absolutely live up to the hype. The staff added to the experience with their friendly, welcoming attitude, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. There are plenty of places we still want to try in the area, but this one has already earned a return visit.

    Loved the vibe here and the food! Surf and turf tacos are amazing. Services was great too!

    Fish taco with cilantro, lime rice I
    Adrienne J.

    Friendly nice folks food was real good and seasoned the fish tacos came with coleslaw and cilantro lime rice. We got spicy Korean barbecue chicken wings. They wasn't spicy, but they were flavorful and they tasted really good. Our server was excellent. They had live music and it was phenomenal the performers sound really good you gotta give this a try that everybody there was really nice folks.

    Fried green tomatoes with goat cheese and Thai chili sauce
    Kate M.

    Date night on the Marsh Walk with delicious fried green tomato appetizer (with goat cheese and Thai chili sauce), and the 3 seafood entree. Good service on a busy, football Saturday night. Two big bars, an outdoor patio, and big dining room. They are on a pause for taking pictures of loved fur ones that have gone over the rainbow bridge, but love seeing the pics on the wall!

    Fish bites
    Kyle C.

    Was very surprised by all the dead dogs on the wall, but probably should not have been. My wife really enjoyed the goat Island sunrise drink. The fish tender bites were good with the tartar sauce was not so much. The tender bites were very, very disappointing. Some overcooked and tough "filet" over some oversize toast. The crabcake sandwich was disappointing as it was the very small side of over. Seasoned cold fries. The Caesar salad was good, however. The service from Zac was outstanding. And it was a bit chaotic, but with the live band playing it was a pretty good atmosphere.

    Inside dining area

    This place was great! They bring hush puppies to your table as soon as you sit down, they were delicious. Food was good, our server was very attentive. The walls are covered in photos of customers beloved dogs who have crossed the rainbow bridge, which was very sweet. We came back in the evening for drinks and live music and got to experience HWY 17 rocks. WOW! They were so talented. Best live music I've ever experienced...and with no cover charge. Our night here was a highlight of our trip we will never forget.

    Reassign
    Dan V.

    Had to come back since now, our son and his lady have moved to the area. Donovan was very friendly and attentive. Food was delicious once again and to be able to be outside on a beautiful day overlooking Murrells Inlet capped off our day at Brookgreen Gardens.

But you can order a take out as well. There were two tables of food and a dessert table. The salad bar seemed to never end. Everything was cut fresh with no limp vegetables or lettuce. Marilyn brought me coffee and Bev Tea. It was plenty hot and fresh. I absolutely love their coffee. I had two cups before I even finished my plate of food. Marilyn was very attentive to each table and came to ours often. After I finished my salad. I saw Carie filling a plate for someone. When she was done I asked her if she could get me a chicken breast. My joint pain and back pain had been extreme this week. Using the walker was even painful. Carie said, "Absolutely !" She returned quickly and with a smile. The staff is so kind. The manager Tommy came by our table to see how we were enjoying our meal. I let him know the salad bar was perfect. The chicken I enjoyed was tender and juicy. I also noticed the teamwork between the staff was easy and natural like a choreographed dance. Bev and I plan to return for the Easter Sunday Meal.

They had a few different bars that you could order at, with the main one being inside, another little hut outside, and a cash bar next to that. They also had a pretty cool live band, with a viewing patio right in front of the stage. In regards to my visit to Hot Fish, I'd say I was most impressed with the bartenders at the establishment, who did a great job under pressure. Even though the place was packed, and especially the bar area, they did a great job of remaining calm, and even got our drinks out in a relatively quick period of time. They also made some awesome blue Gatorade shots, which were some of the best shots I've ever had! I didn't necessarily love that there were cops standing guard at the entrance, but the bar's own security staff and bouncers were really nice, which isn't something you see at every one of these places. The only downsides to the Hot Fish Club were that many of the plastic chairs in the outside area were broken and cracked, making it kind of hard to sit a large-sized group like ours (they had a lot of wooden tables, but they were all taken), and that the restroom situation was awful. According to the girls in our group, the actual, physical restrooms were disgusting, forcing them to use the giant line of porta potties. This isn't a huge deal for guys, but it was a little uncomfortable for the ladies. Other than that, Hot Fish was great, and I'd highly recommend stopping by!
