    The Red Rooster
    Kim R.

    Holy Moly is this place special. Came here a week ago with my in-laws on their recommendation and it was delightful. The Red Rooster was addictively briny and spicy. Oysters Rockefeller were so fresh and full of flavor. Steamed shrimp were phenomenal. What made this place though was the atmosphere and service. Talked with who I assume to be the owners about their clam chowder because my son, who has Celiac, was joining us later in the week. She offered to make him a special batch, asked when we were coming, and reviewed the list of ingredients with me. Showed back up today and she was ready, and brought him a second bowl of specially made gluten chowder. On our second visit, we shared Oysters Rockefeller, and raw oysters, more Red Roosters, delicious gumbo, and steamed shrimp. It was all incredibly fresh and delicious. Our daughter, who is anti-seafood, declared it one of the best burgers she's ever had. We will be back any time we are in the area!

    Fantastic! Clean, friendly and great food at a reasonable price. We enjoyed some burgers and oysters. The coldest beer anywhere. Glad we tried it and we will be back. Super good experience.

    Quick and friendly service in a cool converted garage with a retro music vibe. There was live music outside but was a tad too loud for our family of 4 to have a conversation. We shared oysters and shrimp and had the creamy clam chowder and a burger. My son had the red hot oyster and they rang a bell. Would definitely go back in the future.

    Husband and I went last night because of all the rave reviews! Arrived right at 5 and sat outside as the evening was perfect. We had so much fun listening to live music from 60s-70s! Service was excellent considering how busy the place was inside and outside. Tried oysters 3-ways; raw, grilled and Rockefeller. Super fresh and delicious. We also shared clam chowder, shrimp salad and hubby finished with a slice of key lime pie. All delicious! Reasonably priced food and a great casual hangout. Place is not touristy or fancy as it's a refurbished garage but that's what makes it so lovable! Definitely will be back! Need to try the peel and eat shrimp!

    We stopped by Platt's Seafood during our Myrtle Beach vacation and it was outstanding!…read more We ordered the steamed crab legs and steamed shrimp, and both were absolutely delicious. The crab legs were perfectly cooked, easy to crack, and packed with sweet flavor. The shrimp were fresh, seasoned just right, and cooked perfectly. Everything was hot, fresh, and ready when promised. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their seafood. After a day at the beach, it was the perfect meal to bring back and enjoy with family. If you're in the Myrtle Beach area and looking for great seafood, Platt's Seafood is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back on our next trip to Shore Drive!

    I always go to Platt's Seafood and they never disappoint. This time I got the spot platter with…read morefries and those honey butter hush puppies (which are always a MUST), plus steamed shrimp and clams on the side. Everything was fresh and seasoned just right. The spot was fried perfectly--crispy on the outside, still tender inside. The shrimp were juicy with a good flavor, and the clams were on point too. And listen... those honey butter hush puppies? Yeah, they don't miss. Sweet, soft, and just overall too good. It's one of those spots you can count on every time. Quick, good food, solid portions, and always worth it. Definitely my go-to when I'm in North Myrtle Beach.

    I've been to Bar 19 twelve for drinks before and have always been impressed by its modern decor,…read morelighted bar and excellent drink selection handled by professional bartenders. Since it was my father's last night in North Myrtle Beach until September I thought it would be a great place to have our last dinner together for a while. I dialed up my app and made a 7PM reservation for three. We pulled in about 6:50 and found a spot right in front of the restaurant...it was going to be a good night. We got inside and chose to sit indoors near the bar. My father likes to see people and I felt this would be a good spot to do this and it was. The restaurant was mid century modern in design, airy and uncluttered...we were seated in a booth - chair combo that was a rendition of that style. We looked at the drink menu and my father went for a glass of Pinot Noir, his friend went for a lemon drop martini and I went for a Heineken 00. The waitress couldn't be nicer and quickly brought us our drinks. The lemon drop was perfect and served in an ice cold steel martini glass while my father was quite happy with his California Pinot. We reviewed the food menu and decided to share two "tables"...the deviled eggs and the pimento cheese dip with home made pork rinds. Within a few minutes, four deviled eggs arrived dressed up with a slice of jalapeño and sprinkled with bacon bits. A large plate of fresh pork rinds with homemade pimento cheese came out simultaneously. The deviled eggs were excellent with just the right texture and not too moist...the bacon bits added another layer of flavor and the jalapeño gave it a nice kick, however, the pork rinds and pimento cheese stole the show. The rinds were light and fluffy with just the right amount of crunch and the pimento cheese was superb...very flavorful with nice chunks of pimento and grated cheese. My father was diving in on the cheese so fast it was tough to get some. His lady friend also commented on how good it was. Next came the mains. My father settled in the American Waygu Burger with hand cut fries, I went for the lamb rack with string beans and roasted fingerling potatoes and the lady went for the Arugula salad with candied pecans, Granny Smith apples , goat cheese and craisins. My lamb was excellent...medium rare with a nice flavorful crust with a hint of garlic and herbs. The potatoes were well roasted and tasty while the string beans were cooked correctly but a tad bland. The arugula salad was delicious with a nice citrus dressing that played well with the candied pecans and craisins...the smith apples was a nice contrast. My father in the other hand, ate way too much pimento cheese and rinds and as a result just picked in his fries, which were excellent...salted well, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. He ended up taking the burger home. Amazingly, when dessert was brought up he was all in. Although known for their "Butter Cake" we decided to share(and by share I mean my father had about 90% of it) the Triple Layer Chocolate Cake. Turns out it's as good as it sounds...intense chocolate flavor in a very moist cake with vanilla ice cream and homemade whipped cream on the side...top notch. Sadly, it was getting late and my father had an early plane to catch so we got the bill(more reasonable than I expected), tipped the excellent waitress and said our good nights. We made plans to come back in September...although I'll be back well before that...Bar 19 Twelve will be going on my rotation.

    Tried this on our last trip and it was great! Fun place, great food. Definitely recommend!read more
