food was okay definantly have had better and waitress was not knowledgable on menu items being fried or grilled. Could definantly have better service regarding call ins. waited 30min on hold and called front desk and response given was to wait until pickup so dont call in. read more

What a terrific atmosphere! We enjoyed the Pink Cadillac (mine was spicy) and some chips and dips. Perfect view and friendly service. read more

The place overall felt very dirty and old and maybe slightly above a fast food place. My daughter really wanted to come here for the pink and the Cadillacs, that's all it had going for it. The host and waitress were indifferent. We were never asked if we wanted more drinks or anything else, which may have been a good thing since my tacos were extremely salty and my drink didn't taste like it had alcohol. In fact, I asked the waitress if it had alcohol in it, to which she replied yes and scurried on her way. Mind you, I'm a lightweight so for me to not taste alcohol is saying something. I didn't even finish half the drink. We went to Koko's next door for a drink and this was much better, service was better too. I would NOT recommend Pinky's. read more

So here's the skinny in this place, the location is great right on the beach with a nice view of the ocean from the outdoor dining area. They were a bit busy but it felt like they were fairly understaffed. It took awhile for our waitress to get our drinks and food order but I do not fault her one bit. She was working super hard running around to multiple tables outside I think they just didn't have enough workers. The food was decent we got the pizza and desert cake, I had the Mai tai which was tasty, It's a little pricey but for the location not surprised. Worth a visit for a drink or quick bite, read more

Go there for the outside deck facing the beach, or to dine in a pink Cadillac ! But do not go for the food!!!! Terrible! read more

Only went for drinks. They were okay. Much preferred the Mai Tai's on the pier. Didn't try the food.

The decor is the best thing about this place. The food took forever to come out. And was good-ish. But the service..... Made a mediocre meal turn into the worst meal I've ever had in my entire life. Congratulations Pinkys! Y'all successfully ruined a young girls 21st birthday by the hate and disrespect from our "server". Sincerely, LOCALS read more

Pinky's on the Beach - Best thing about this place! - American Near Me - Folly Beach, South Carolina

Such a cute spot. The inside is bright and pink. They have pool tables available inside and a full patio. The drinks were strong and sweet. Service was great. The bartenders were really nice. Amazing live music!! He took any request and played so well. read more

Wow the place is fun! My husband and I wanted a fun date night so we decided to check this place out. I was able to get a reservation outside the day before for 630pm on a Saturday. We got sat right away, and there even was a cute reserved sign. There was a lot going on here tonight, it was a full moon party with live music. You can also ask to sit at the pink cars but those are inside. I requested an ocean view table as close to the water as possible, so that's what we got! The vibe is really fun here, the waitress came over right away. I ordered a Pinot grigio. For food I got the fish and chips, it was 2 pieces of cod and some fries. My only complaint there is that I wish there was more cod. The fries were well seasoned and the tarter sauce was good also. My husband got the shrimp and grits, he thought it was good just very rich and filling. Maybe a bit too much sauce. He wanted to get dessert , but the shrimp and grits was too rich. The waitress also gave us locals discount because we are from the area. Also there is a bar where you can hang out and walk on the beach if you want. Pro tip to get to the restaurant you have to walk through the Tides hotel and it's on the right. There is a parking lot to the right for 10$ a day and you can even walk to the pier. Only disappointing thing was the cleanliness of the bathroom. Do not go in there! Otherwise we will be back! read more

Trying this hard should burn more calories. Pinky's wants so badly to be cool, and you can feel the effort in every square inch. The result? Aggressively average food at prices that are anything but. You're not paying for the meal, you're paying for the aesthetic -- and the aesthetic is "Instagram backdrop with a kitchen attached." The crowd is exactly what you'd expect: loud, young, and there to be seen rather than to eat. It's less a restaurant and more a casting call. If you're bringing kids, don't -- they'd be the only people in the building not posing. Average food, premium prices, maximum volume. Pinky's isn't a vibe, it's a marketing deck. read more

Pinky's on the Beach has a great, energetic beachfront vibe with its fun pink Cadillac theme. The sweet and mild peppers appetizer had a perfect crunch and seasoning, especially paired with the Thai chili dipping sauce. The Cobb salad was a refreshing twist on the classic, featuring smoky Gouda, fire-roasted corn, and a bright citrus vinaigrette that kept it light. One quick tip if you're heading there: parking nearby can be tight. If you have car seats or heavy beach gear to haul, do yourself a favor and drop off your passengers and equipment at the front before you go look for a spot. read more

Pinky's on the Beach - Peppers appetizer - American Near Me - Folly Beach, South Carolina

Pinky's has replaced what was previously known as Blu. And true to its name- everything is pink and looks like it is straight out of Miami. This bright atmosphere is a stark contrast to the rest of the hotel, Tides and to be honest, feels a bit out of place. A couple of friends and I popped in for a quick cocktail and some of their fries. Their fries remind me distinctly of Arby's seasoned curly fries. The drinks (we got the Hu-Go Girl and Let's Flamingle) were really good and I can appreciate that they were $12 and not $16. I'd be interested to come back and try their food. Though that too looks like they're trying to do too much- tacos, pizza, sandwiches, steak- pick something. I wish the menu was more specific. I've never been a fan of a menu that tries to do it all because in my experience it's never done well. I'll update my review once I have tried a couple of things to keep you in the loop on the quality. Their service was ordinary, nothing outstanding or anything special to comment on. read more

We were able to get a table outside on NYE. There were heaters which was nice as it was chilly that evening. Some tables had fire pits which would have been very enjoyable. The indoor seating, loved the pink car booths, very photo worthy! Overall, the indoor and outdoor space was very large. The bar area had tables as well as a DJ performing and people out on the dance floor. I did see from the distance some pinball machines, very neat. The staff were very sociable. The menu had some NYE cocktail options which had some fun pink glitter in them to add to the pink vibe. The menu had a good variety of land and sea options to chose from. Overall, a very cool spot to check out on the beach if you are on Folly. read more

A very dope spot to visit. I know this place be booming during the summer months. Anywho, Britney took great care of our group. We were there celebrating a coworkers birthday. The food was amazing, but the sweet tea wasn't hitting for me. They have the cutest car booths which are great for photos. Miss Kimberly did not hesitate to help us with our group photo or the tiktok we did! Really nice place, even nicer staff. If you haven't been, you're missing out! read more

The best beach bar ever. Pinky's has great food, the island salad, the grouper sandwich and the shrimp tacos a must! Amazing food seriously! The cocktails are so fun and tasty. The service is incredible, the vibe is so fun, and the live music is endless! Thanks for the fun Weekend! read more

The atmosphere is nice, and the nachos were good, but we were told it would be 30-45 minutes to wait and it was an hour and 15 minutes. Then we waited 20 minutes for a waitress. Now, it was probably our own fault because we went on the first really gorgeous day of spring, but things weren't being managed very well. read more

I liked the frozen Apperal spritz. The vibe is very pretty and it's in a great location. Unfortunately, some of the staff was not very friendly. I asked about the signature drink and I was just told "it's pink." The second staff member was incredibly helpful though, and she even let me try a sample. Prices are very comparable to the area read more

I was so excited to try Pinky's on Folly and loved the overall vibe! The atmosphere is super fun and totally on-theme, from the pink car tables, games, and a pink pool table. We grabbed drinks at the bar while waiting for an outdoor table, and the 'Let's Flamingle' drink was delicious and perfectly on par with the theme throughout the restaurant. Once we were seated outside, the service our table received unfortunately fell short. Our server brought water to us quickly, but then we didn't have their attention again for over 45 minutes, even as we tried to wave them down. They seemed overwhelmed and as though they were juggling too many tables at once. Service was lacking in other elements, such as asking multiple times for napkins (the wings were quite messy), and it took an additional minute or two until we could finally flag another employee down. It makes sense that, being a new restaurant, they were still getting the swing of things. We were very understanding and appreciative when we were helped. Once we finally ordered, we tried out the Fried Chicken Wings, Coconut Shrimp, and Chips & Trio of Dips appetizers. The queso on the Chips & Trio of Dip was delicious, but our chips were very stale and disappointing. The Coconut Shrimp and Fried Chicken Wings were great and fairly priced. This spot has so much potential, and I am definitely rooting for them! Once they are more settled, I plan on giving them another try in a few months. read more

I was excited to try this after the rebranding and new menu! I had the Coastal Cobb salad which was really good other than the dressing being a little too tangy. Still would get it again maybe just with a different dressing! The drinks were very good! Frozen drink wasn't really frozen but still tasted good. Love the outdoor bar area. Easy beach access. We went on a Sunday and found seating with no wait. The indoor seating looks fun for kids with the car decorated seats. They also had a Photo Booth which we used, plus a pool table and some pinball. Probably will go back when I'm on Folly. read more

i called in a To go order and was on hold for 10 minutes. Sonce I was staying at hotel I came down to order one appetizer. the same person who put me on hold and didn't get back to me was standing there doing nothing . Something must have happened with register tape. she went away and then a kangaroo came over to ask me what was going on . I tried to tell him and he scolded me I have no idea what's going on and aslied me again for my order. Never apologized. .. as if I was in the wrong for ordering . I was a waitress in high school in Wisconsin. very disappointed read more

Awesome location for a beachfront meal, hang inside at the large bar area, or dine under a disco ball in a pair of classic pink car tables. Seems like the kitchen was understaffed on the night we were there. We were told the kitchen was 15 minutes behind when we sat, it was 30 mins before apps arrived. Had the BBQ sandwich, pork was cold, no sauce, cole slaw on top runny. Burger and fries and salad portions were also small with premium pricing for a hotel restaurant/bar. Paying for the location. Like many restaurants in the area they assess a 3% fee on the check when using a credit card. read more

Well, nice decor, 57 Chevy tables, outdoor seating, bar, and beach. They give you a lot of food. I ordered blackened grouper, large peace, with many curly fries, wife ordered fish/chips with about 2 pounds of French fries! 2 teas, one lime pie. I was shocked at the total price. High for what you buy although plentiful. I guess the atmosphere was worth it, I guess. Frank G. read more

Beautiful view. An abundance of Darling pink flamingos everywhere. Absolutely adorable restaurant. Huge portions and reasonable prices. The bartender was attentive and friendly.

We got there on a Friday when it opened for lunch. (Valentine weekend) Sat at the bar. Only 3 other people present. 3-5 minutes later we were asked what we wanted. Husband gave his order. Before I could tell the bar tender what I wanted he turned away and made his drink. I had to wait until he got his drink until I ordered. Moving forward we both ordered off the lunch menu and it came out in a timely manner. I had grouper sandwich which was pretty good he had pepperoni pizza. Drinks were empty no ask for a second so we ate and left. By this time the lunch crowd was arriving. There were ample amount of servers to help. The ambiance was great. Super clean and great atmosphere. Maybe the bartender was a bit hungover or just not on his game. We'll give it another try again. read more

Couldn't be more disappointed. Came for the atmosphere left with a foul taste in the mouth. Food was mediocre at best would rather have McDonalds. Service was the worst. Usually give people the benefit of the doubt but it genuinely the worst experience. (found a hair in the food and left after that)....... On the bright side Nico from the hotel was the absolute best!!! made the experience 1000x better. read more

We're visiting from out of town and we're excited to try this place as we heard the coconut shrimp was great. We were seated outside, which has great views of the ocean. We ordered our drinks and the coconut shrimp appetizer. One person in our party is gluten free (not by choice) and asked the waitress what is gluten free on the menu. The response was "um, we have salads". Which was a bit disappointing as there seemed to be a few items that could be gluten free in the menu. After we ordered, we waited quite a while for our food. When we finally got our food, we didn't even have silverware to eat with so we asked for it and waited another ten minutes for it. I ordered pinky fries, which didn't come. I asked for the correct fries and an order was out in. They came out about 15 minutes later once I was done with my sandwich. Overall the service was not really great. We weren't really checked in at all. We got our bill and asked to talk to a manager. We waited another 25 minutes and finally just decided to leave. As we were walking out the manager finally came out to talk to us. She was apologetic, but we were severely disappointed. Overall our experience was underwhelming to say the least. Overall we there for almost two hours and only saw our waitress maybe a total of 5 times, which at least two of them were for us asking for things we should have gotten from the start. Go for drinks at the bar, but don't stay for food service. read more

The service was horrible. And the food was not any better. I usually dont leave a bad review but wanted others to be aware. The restuarant was not busy at all yet The server felt like we were a bother to him. The fod was very bland and dry. The Cajun pasta had no flavor, the crab cake sandwhichbwqs very dry and bland. The only good thing was the fries. There was no manager to talk to either read more

I'm writing about Pinky's chicken sandwich - it was GREAT!!! Full of flavor, the chicken was crispy and moist, most definitely would order this again. I was expecting one of those round flat chicken patties you get at fast food places - nope - real pieces of chicken!!! Service was adequate, that's all I'll say about it. If you ever get the chance to get the chicken sandwich - go for it!!! read more

Holy mamba jamba I really liked this place and have decided to quit my job and move into the tides hotel full time just so I can drink here everyday! Pinky's made me feel retro and cool and brought me back to my high school when they played Grease Lightening and we all boogied on the dance floor and took sips of triple sec from a flask. They even had cute pink flamingos that they let us pet and take pictures with. I would for sure come back here for their pink hue walls and spectacular ambiance. I quit going to AA for this bar!!!!!! read more
