Overall, a great experience! We had never been to Frank's Outback, but decided to go since it was recommended to us. We were attending an event afterwards at nearby Brookgreen Gardens. Our waiter was excellent, one of the best we have had in a while!!! His name was Tyleek, I am sorry if I misspelled! He was very attentive and made my mom and dad's wedding anniversary a wonderful night. We were seated outside in a covered part of the patio, I was a bit worried about the heat, but we were very comfortable with all the fans. All of our meals were great, I'd definitely come back again. read more

This is a great date night spot especially sitting outback on the patio. The food is all delicious and the wait staff was super friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is very cool with lots of natural greenery. I got the bowl of soil which was so flavorful with lots of great parts so I highly recommend. The place was so nice to give us some dessert on the house which was absolutely amazing. The food and overall experience was great. 10/10! read more

Frank's - Thirteen Whole 14 Layer Caramel Cake - Bars Near Me - Pawleys Island, South Carolina

Came in solo as I was in the area and really wanted some fresh and good oysters!! It's summer season in Myrtle so the place was packed! I walked in a little after 9 and was greeted graciously and seated hurriedly at the counter because the kitchen closes at 9:00pm. I ordered the fried oysters which were prepared exceptionally and a wedge salad. Delicious! Server brought me a sample of the shrimp bisque which was insanely good! I ordered the petite lamb option...3 chops and the artichoke sun-dried tomato risotto!! The lamb wasn't as tender as I preferred but the risotto was honestly the best I've ever had! Brava!!!! Oh yeah and the dirty martini was on point. The ambience is southern chic! This is the place! A great dining experience. A must if you're in Myrtle beach area! read more

Frank's - Parmesan Crusted Tile Snapper - Bars Near Me - Pawleys Island, South Carolina

Very good. I ate an entire kids pizza all by myself. The service was pretty good. I loved the outside ambience with the two fish ponds. Only thing I didn't like was there was a sign that said "beware of the cat" and i saw no cat. Overall very good, 8/10. read more

The biggest tip I can give you, is make reservations. The hardest thing to do, is to make reservations. We did have reservations but we had called two months ahead of time. We both love Frank's Outback when there is good weather. They do have two bars. We were lucky enough to get a seat at one of them where we ordered cocktails. I must say, it was the best chocolate martini that I have ever had. We decided to split the fried oysters although the fried deviled eggs were whispering our names. Dinner consisted of the pork chops for him and the small filet for me. My dish came with mashed potatoes and fried onion rings. Both of our meals were outstanding. Would I come back here? We both agreed the next time it would be the fried deviled eggs. If you see me there, stop by and say hello. read more

One of the best restaurants. The food was to die for. WOW. The short rib and the caramel cake were unreal. I have thought about that cake every day since I had it back in October. I truly can't get over it. My favorite app was definitely the low country spring roll. Amazing. I had the pan seared grouper and I liked it pretty good, but there was better food at the table! I hope I get to come back here very soon. Service was also great. read more

Franks is a local favorite for a reason they have fantastic food, drinks, and atmosphere! The only down sides are you need to book ahead of time and their parking lot needs to be bigger lol. Still completely worth it their prices are reasonable for the great food and their patio atmosphere cannot be beat! read more

Service was great and the food was even better! Pricey, but delicious! I would recommend Frank's for any special occasion.

We enjoyed another great dinner in the Outback with Harrison taking care of us. Filet, Mahi, Soul Bowl, and pizza all fantastic! Never a disappointment at Franks! The outback setting is perfect for a meal with good friends read more

Loved the vibes of this place !! But the rest was huge disappointment! The bread in the bread basket delivered was slightly charred!! Our Pinot Noir was warm !!!! It must have been in warm storage before they took it from the cave We had to ask for ice bucket to bring it to proper temperature Both husband & I had the duck It was more medium well than our request of medium All the food on our plates was not warm!!!! The carrots were like mush as was the barley and farro We did not alert our waiter as our friends meals were well plated and enjoying They had the grouper and short ribs Sorry I didn't take pictures but sadly doubt we would try it again read more

We went to Frank & Frank's for my husband's birthday, and it was one of the best dining experiences we've had in the Myrtle Beach area! The ambience was fantastic, our waitress Niki was amazing, and the food was absolutely delicious. The steaks were perfectly cooked, the margarita brick oven pizza was amazing, and the oysters were fresh and delicious. The drinks were just as impressive--the Old-Fashioned was expertly crafted, and the beers on tap were a great selection. You can truly feel the love they put into their family business. We'll definitely be coming back soon! Thank you for such a wonderful evening--we love supporting great hometown spots like this! read more

Let's just say if I could give 10 STARS I would! Frank's outback is the BEST at Pawleys. The servers are all PROS! And make sure your drinks are filled and food is steamy! And the environment is bursting with charm, tiny white lights, ferns, light music and fountains. Our group had 5 entrees that were all over the top with fried oysters as the appetizer and Carmel layered cake with icecream as our dessert! See the photos. Coming back again and again! read more

They have a big parking lot on the side and the back of the restaurant so you don't have to worry about parking space. We're in Pawsley Island for vacation and the restaurant is really close by. The place is easy to get crowded even on a weekday night so reservation is highly recommended. The dining area inside are cozy but the outdoor dining area looks very nice too. It's close to Halloween so the decor around the restaurant follows that theme. Good food and nice ambience. We had: - Fried oysters: it was okay. - Bahamian sautéed conch: the sauce of this dish is delicious but you won't taste the conch meat as much since it mixed too well with fried batter. - Grilled 6 Ounce Filet of Beef: the red wine sauce substitute is very good. - Fish of the day-pan seared flounder: very tender and tasty - Chocolate brownie and vanilla icecream for dessert: togo Our server is very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about the menu. He had the bar mixed up a delicious mocktail for me, suggested a nice sauce to substitute with the sauce that go with the beef since my boyfriend doesn't like blue cheese. He also packed the leftover with special paper layer so it doesn't leak through the paper togo box. He also suggest the dessert for togo since we were too full but still want to try the dessert. All in all, we had a very good experience. We will definitely come back when we're in town the next time. read more

Our waiter was very helpful and had explanations for all of the dishes. He expressed a type of insight which could only come from a long experience. The food was outstanding and the pork chop I had was extremely well done. I also had the Thai salad which seemed a little out of place given the nature of the menu, but was very tasty. This is a classic upscale restaurant with white tablecloths and lemons. I would recommend it. read more

We sat outside great setting for it, the service was great!! we had dinner there two nights in a row, the first night we had sea food it was great !!! The second night had steak my rib eye was cooked right but my wife and son in law New York was way over cooked and they could not on the fly redo the order so they took some off the bill we would definitely come back here on our next visit to SC read more

Pretty good spot if you're looking for some good seafood and food in general. The fish bites are nicely fried fresh fish served with an excellent dipping sauce. I also really liked their ribs. The salad itself was very OK and looked like something you would get in a cafeteria. read more

I came with a group of 5 for my bachelorette party. My sister booked us a reservation only a few days before our trip on a friend's recommendation. They were shocked we were able to get a table, apparently Frank's books up months in advance. I could not have been more impressed. We started with a round of cocktails and several appetizers to share. I ordered the Pan Seared Bahamian Grouper and loved every bit. I could not put my fork down even if I wanted to! The restaurant surprised me with a sparkler dessert of my choice, we had a skillet cookie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a round of espresso martinis. I bought a tee shirt on the way out. My fiance called in advance and made arrangements to pay for our first round of drinks. The hostess (maybe manager) came to the table with a card and let us know our drinks were covered. How special of them to arrange this! I couldn't recommend Frank's more and would love to return if I'm back in Myrtle soon. read more

Frank's is a classic, favorite of locals, and one of the top fine restaurants on Pawleys. When I say classic, I'm suggesting that if Humphrey Bogart opened a restaurant here, this would be it. This place could have been in Casablanca... We have been coming to Pawleys for decades, Franks has been at the top of the food chain for at least that long.... It's always been dependable in our experience... never a disappointment, never anything but exceptional... It can be difficult to get reservations, so book early. If you need to try to get a spot at the bar, which can be at the bar or near the bar... either way, that can be a solution to limited seating... It's filled with dark wood... dark ceilings, floors... etc. as mentioned it's classic. Service has always impressed us as much as the atmosphere. Servers are very professional. The bar is impressive. Never had a bad drink. The wine list is excellent... there should be something for every taste. We started with the beet salad. Beats, hearts of palm, goat cheese, arugula, an exceptional sweet/salty dressing of some sort. Great salad. We have always gone for seafood, hey it's Pawleys... the last meal was a special not on the menu, Halibut. It came with some vegetables that I didn't care for, so we swapped that out for butter beans and black eyed peas... the fish was over mushroom risotto... there was a great Unami type sauce that was simply delicious with the fish. Neither of us could finish the plate. Plenty of food. Oh, we paired this with a mineral rich Sauvignon from Touraine, France. If I had room far a desert it might have simply been a glass of port. No doubt, this is a must try place. Also without doubt, it will be on our list next trip here. read more

Food and ambience were awesome....but the best part was our server Alex. He was super friendly, informative and guided us through the menu and specials. All our food and drink were great, but the highlights were the pimento cheese appetizer, the goat cheese salad (forget the name), crab cakes and the salted caramel martini. But there is not a bad thing on the menu. Recommend reservations if you want to sit inside. read more

Nice ambience/atmosphere in the outback (enclosed outdoor area). There are ALOT of people working. The waitress very friendly and nice. I got duck and asked for medium well. The breast was way too rare/pink...I had to send it back but it still was not cooked after waitress brought it back....kind of ruined my meal. The barley/farrow that was served with it was fantastic. The sweet tea is great. read more

I don't understand what is going on with Frank's. Been going here for years. It was consistent for a long time and now for the last two years it's been very inconsistent. They had a new chef that was awful and the portions were really really small. They have a new chef now and it started out great and now the portions are just a small. I'm not sure how the chefs are getting paid. It must be on the quantity of food that they're using. 10 of us had dinner there and none of us liked our food. The waitress was awful which is extremely unusual there. She forgot everything brought the wrong food out. It was crazy. No manager came over and said how is everything. The place is packed and I'm sure they will not miss us. read more

Excellent cuisine, top notch service, expert staff. I've never had a bad experience here and highly recommend it. Want a taste of Pawleys Island? Stop in at Frank's and enjoy! read more

Anniversary celebration night and our first ever meal at Franks. The grounds alone are worthy of a visit as both the inside and outside of the restaurant are a treat. We strolled along out in the back yard admiring at least three bars each with their own elegant yet casual ambiance! We went inside for our seating overlooking the kitchen and were introduced by our waiter for the evening Bruce. We started with champagnes my wife had some French 75 while I had a Strawberry Fizz. Both were refreshing and delightful. Next up was a conch fritter appetizer. Lightly pan fried with a citrus wine sauce. For our entrees we had duck two ways and a 14oz pork chop. The confit duck was shredded and richly decadent, the pan seared duck breast was good. My pork chop was perfectly seasoned and one of the best I have ever had. For dessert Bruce brought us a slice of tower maple cake and vanilla ice cream while singing happy anniversary and showing off a bit of fireworks. A great night at a great restaurant. read more

Okay, so I have eaten here a few times and the first two times was good but I couldn't say I was blown away. Those times I tried the salmon and the crab cake - both of which were good, at least 4 stars. This last time I tried the short rib and it was incredible! Such depth of flavor! I definitely would go back just to eat that again! read more

Went for anniversary dinner after hearing so much about Frank's. Seated inside quickly and server was a professional through and through. Everything was efficiently delivered, excellent recommendations and very polite. We appreciated the recommendations because there are so many good options on the menu. The food, as expected, was exceptional and the desserts were phenomenal. Our friends go early and sit outside where you get the same great food in a more casual setting, but for a special, or romantic, experience the inside dining is a great choice! read more

We understand this is one of the oldest restaurants in Pawleys Island and it did not disappoint! It has that we been around for years vibe! It was a lil confusing as it seems like 2-3 Frank's in one lol but I think we were in the Outback portion where it is a bar and nice size outdoor patio dining. The wait area for this part even has a fire pit! It is tropical in feel with canopies of trees n flowers and other plants! Our waitstaff was great answered all our "first timer" questions and was careful with my allergies to nuts and seafood Our pimento cheese appetizer was tasty but small in portion as are most of their plates but between them all we left satisfied. I would pass on the arugula and Brussel Stout salad the next time not much too it and not worth the price. I ordered the lamb chops DELISH and hubby ordered the Short Ribs ohhhhh honey were the good - the gray was rich and infectious We finished with their blackberry cobbler at the suggestion of locals dining at the next table and LOVED IT! read more

Nice atmosphere for group of 8 but my cocktail went missing and the andouille sausage was not present in the chicken and sausage fettucine for two of us. Seated quickly thanks to reservations but parking was a disaster and risked a vacant lot next door. Highlight of dinner was ice cream cones at Paradise further up US 17. read more
