    Crab nachos and bang shrimp
    Cheryl O.

    Loved Pawley's Raw Bar. Service was great! We couldn't decide what we wanted so we got a little of everything. She crab soup, hush puppies, crab nachos, oysters rockerfeller, and bang shrimp. Everything was awesome! My favorite was the soup. Thick and creamy with lots of crab and flavor. Nachos were a hot with tons of crab. Oyster we're done perfectly. Can't wait to go back.

    Shrimp and grits
    Tracie R.

    Service was great! Friendly and knowledgeable. Ambiance is a fun and inviting. Food= nothing special. Husband had grouper and fried shrimp platter and thought it didn't have flavor. I had shrimp and grits- way too much gumbo on top. Very cheesy grits. Not my cup of tea. For the money there are better places out there.

    Calamari
    lauren s.

    I would rate this a 3.5 after stopping in for what we hoped would be a quick bite to eat on the way home. When we arrived, the restaurant was not busy but they were clearly understaffed and the wait was 30 minutes. We decided to wait since we had already been on the road back home to Myrtle for hours. We started with the calamari which was tender and phenomenal! We shared a steamer pot for two, which my 9 year old could have crushed and then some on his own. It was a bit pricey for what you got. The shrimp were super overcooked so almost impossible to peel. We were missing the potatoes in our pot but never saw our server to let her know and by the time she did come by she was exhausted from running around all her tables and we didn't want to bother her. The food took another hour to come out and it made for a super long night. Overall the food was decent and the server was really trying during a super busy shift so we plan to come back and give it another shot.

    Crab-covered nachos appetizer

    Had dinner there last night, everything great. Lots of staff, and our waitress, Killian, was great. Had the crab-covered nacho appetizer (Hint; Will feed 4 people and was very good), plus the crab cake platter (2 crab cakes). The crab cakes were very good, but were Carolina style, which only means they weren't Maryland style (so you Maryland/Virgina Chesapeake Bay purists will be disappointed). Large, tasty fries, one platter could serve two. Great vibes in the place, lots of outdoor seating in good weather. Funky/rustic decore like its partner River City cafes. Fun place, great food reasonably priced.

    We love this place. We've been coming here for at least 4 years, and every time we come it is a great experience! The she crab soup is great. For non-locals and/or new visitors, she crab soup is a staple of this part of South Carolina. Pawley's Raw Bar is up there with the best. Today, I had the blackened grouper tacos, which were some of the best I've had. Seasoned perfectly, with fresh pico de gallo, soft tortillas, and a filling side of rice and beans. I don't remember exactly what I ordered in the past, but I know I've always enjoyed it. The service is quick and friendly, especially when you go for lunch, as it is not too crowded! And finally, the ambiance is inviting and beachy. Whether you're outside or inside, there are plenty of fun decorations to look at, and there are also fun rainbow lights throughout. This is a great spot for families, individuals, and everyone in between. Highly recommend!

    Food was good but the kitchen needs some help. The food overall was tasty and delicious. Thankfully we got appetizers because it took us over an hour and a half to get our meal. The highlight to my meal was the dirt cup at the end. The bang band shrimp needed more sauce. This is a very family friendly restaurant and they had a play area for the kids out back.

    We visited here from out of town. My 2 nephews and their band ,Urban Jukebox (Look them up- Awesome…read moreband for hire!!!) were playing. I love how this place is set up. It has a small inside area with seating and a bar. It has a 2nd floor with pool table. It's attached to a huge outside deck/patio built around huge trees for covering, a stage area, huge firepit you can self add logs too, and heaters surrounding plenty of seating for large or small groups. We ordered the bang bang shrimp, regular fried shrimp and the oysters. They cook to order, there is no pre cooked food laying around waiting to be selected for an order. The food was top tier! The shrimp were fat and perfectly seasoned and cooked. The oysters were clusters and they tasted like they had just come out of the ocean. Perfectly salted and steamed. The live band was a bonus! If you're in the area, I highly recommend this place and the band. If I lived closer, I would definitely be a regular.

    I hate to give bad reviews, but this place is a no-go. Save your time and money…read more After being told the burger is huge, I was very disappointed to see it was a single 4oz patty that didn't even come close to covering the soggy bun (for 15$ at that). Not to mention they brought my food out 10 minutes before any one else at the table. The burger itself was extremely mid, 0 flavor, and even the onion rings were bad. When trying to leave, it took multiple attempts to get them to bring out my check, and even longer to get them to run my card. It's clear these owners have never worked at a restaurant before and are clueless with what they are doing. Icing on the cake: their menu spelled Caesar salad, "Ceasar salad". Incompetence is rampant here.
