Bring back taco Tuesday. Give your customers what they want. Everything you need to make tacos is already on your menu just do the right thing and give the people what they want. The people that work there are great and understand that people want tacos on Tuesday but the owner in His infinite wisdom decides that no I'm not going to give the people what they want. Well shame on you Henry/tripp read more

The food and service at the Boathouse was amazing. We had a party of 7 and visited during happy hour. The food was delicious. I had the wings which were superb! We had drinks which were served quickly and were delicious. The restaurant had outdoor seating as well, but we chose to eat inside due to the weather. There were multiple large screen TVs that displayed different sports games. That was a nice touch to have the TVs on different games so that people had a choice of what game they wanted to watch. I would recommend dining at the Boathouse if you're in the area and want to eat good food without the high prices. read more

Went here again on Tuesday September 29th 2026 with my parents for a much needed dinner. We walked in, and sat ourselves outside. Was given menus and was greeted by a nice waitress, who took care of us. Love the water view of the intercoastal! was perfect weather for outside. Got 3 waters, and 3 House Vodkas 2 with sprite and 1 with tonic. Disappointed that there are no food options for Happy Hour. But oh well. We started with the chicken nachos. Nachos came out in a timely manner. They were also very enjoyable! For entrees, i ordered the chicken avacado club with loaded potato salad, my mom ordered the same thing with fries. My dad ordered the cowboy burger with fries. Enjoyed the chicken club sandwich. the loaded potato salad- not sure why but I was expecting potatoes with bacon and cheese not with mayo, however it wasn't bad! Didn;t finish it though. Waitress checked on us constantly and was pleasant. Oh, and this place doesn't take discover. Paid the bill via credit card and left a cash tip! Will be back, and will definitely be back for a music night like with Julio & The Saltines! read more

Hey guys! It's a nice local hangout with live music inside and outside. There is a listing of bands and dates, free and pay events. The food...it's served in a basket. The fried stuff is greasy but hey, it's bar food. Parking can be tight but just park across the street and walk over. read more

They should buy the lot beside them as there was no place to park. The atmosphere was lively and the staff very friendly. They have good happy hour specials. We ordered the seafood platter and it was so good! The fried shrimp and oysters were lightly breaded as well as the haddock. The people beside us ordered the same thing after they saw ours! They also have live music. Great place to hang out and grab a bite! read more

9/26- did the "Penn State" game thing. Packed with ppl, get there early if you want a seat. Abundance of televisions to watch the fame. Friendly servers, great food (fish & chip, chix fingers). But for the love of God, turn the ceiling fans on HIGH OR turn the air conditioner ON!! read more

Crispy fried shrimp = popcorn shrimp?! When it's a meal?! Price was good for a family of 4, the menu needs to be more detailed, specific. Food was not something you'll want to remember. read more

Definitely love eating food from there The burgers are absolutely divine. Can't wait to come back next time.

Very casual spot, with picnic tables and high tops inspire and out. Lots of tvs, showing a wide variety of sports across the country. Fried fish and chips was a little heavy on the batter but still very good, same as the fish in the fish tacos, but the fish on the seafood platter was fantastic, with a light crumb coating. Variety of beers and ciders on draft, including some local brews. Live Music on Fri, Sat, Sun in the summer; beautiful view of the intracoastal waterway. Pricing is quite reasonable. read more

Here's the fork in the road: A) are you a hungry traveler staying at a hotel nearby, or B) looking for a roadhouse with rowdy customers, loud music, and plethora of (pricey) beer? Once you determine your objective, you'll understand the polarizing reviews. SCENARIO A: I know restaurants are slim in this area of the intercostal waterway, but do yourself a favor--hail a ride share or get in your car and drive to an actual restaurant. SCENARIO B: Check their schedule; the weekends are where it's at! In fact, many times the Boathouse runs out of local or in-house brews due to weekend demand. I agree with Yelper RockinConway who noted the beat-up, tavern feel of this venue. The staff is inline with the low upkeep expectations delivering beers haphazardly, often spilling on the table with indifference to the mess they've created. And yes, abundance of flies (dead or alive) may visit your table/food during a meal. All part of the...roadhouse ambiance. Once you get a feel for your surroundings, the average food the kitchen provides isn't surprising, but I will say it's fast. My waitress described the duck BLT was a duck breast with traditional bacon, lettuce, and tomato, however, the sandwich that arrived (see photo) provided a sliver of duck. As I was looking for a lighter sandwich, I was okay with the construction. The wings are either smoked or slow cooked and then lightly tossed in the sauces provided. No heat noticeable on the buffalo, but at least they do provide blue cheese. In the end, I'd argue The Boathouse is not trying to mask what it is. I stopped by here due to a local's recommendation, but upon further reflection, he noted the live music and beers created in-house as the highlight. Hopefully my review will help ya decide if you're looking for scenario a or b. read more

The food was pretty good. The only negative is we stopped by on a Monday and they were closed. There were a couple cars in the parking lot so we tried calling and no answer. Suggest they update signage & website to state their new winter hours. read more

Good food-great location- caters to the MAGA's finest with Fox business on 3 large screen tv's

Our whole neighborhood gets together to sit outside on the intercostal waterway!! The wait staff is great too! Samantha is my favorite!

Our favorite spot for live music on the Grand Strand. Free live music here nearly every day of the week in the late spring and summer, but they also book ticketed national acts like Everclear, Edwin McCain and Cowboy Mouth. Their free summer concert series is a real highlight every summer and the crowds are thick and quite diverse with people of all ages and backgrounds. Full bar with maybe 8 or so craft beers and Yuengling pints are $3.75. They offer waitress service outside no matter where you sit and they have lots of bar food options from which to choose. They also do a happy hour Monday through Friday. Tons of free parking across the street and you are allowed to leave and re-enter. Leave your weapons at home as security will definitely wand you and pat you down. Additionally, you're allowed to enter dockside if you pull up on some sort of watercraft. They will wand and i.d. you right there as you come up off the dock. I'd recommend this place to nearly everyone that visits or lives in the area. Minus one star because they need more bathrooms both outside and in. read more

Nice spot right by the river with a great view. We stopped by while there was a live band playing, which made the atmosphere even better. The music, food, and service all came together for a relaxing evening. It's a great place to enjoy the waterfront, grab a meal, and spend time with friends read more

If I was grading this place on my personal experience I would give it 2 stars. However, my wife and kids all loved their food so 3 stars it is. I felt like my food was average at best. The service was definitely below average. No drink refills on a hot day, not even a check to see how we were doing. I won't return based on this alone. But I'm glad my family liked their food. read more

Stopped in sure of the moment. Rather loud inside the venue but there is plenary of seating outside. There is a covered patio to sit under. They have live music on the weekends which was a nice bonus. The service was super friendly and super quick to get us served. SUPER FAST! Even the food was fast coming out. Got a d fresh...nothing under a heat lamp here. Nice place for all ages. Very easy going and laid back. read more

This has been, by far, the most disorganized experience I've had at a concert venue. There was no clear communication about when doors would open, the actual show start time, or even basic information like the bag policy. I arrived early for a show I had already paid for, went inside, purchased food and drinks, and was then told to leave the venue and wait outside because the doors "weren't open yet." To make matters worse, a staff member had previously told us doors would open at 5:00 p.m., yet we were kicked out around 4:30 p.m. We weren't allowed back inside until about 5:45 p.m. The entry process was also poorly handled. Men and women were separated into different lines to supposedly speed up entry, but it actually created confusion because many people had their tickets on one person's phone. That left groups waiting outside just to reunite before they could enter. Adding to the frustration, the website originally listed the event as running from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. After arriving, we found out the show wasn't actually scheduled to start until 7:00 p.m. I hate to say it because I've enjoyed this venue in the past, but this experience has changed my opinion. I've attended at least a dozen shows at The Boathouse over the years, and this was easily the most frustrating one. Unless communication and event organization improve significantly, this will likely be my last show here. read more

Everything from the food, the entertainment, to the people was top tier. I went with my parents and fiance and had a great time. The food was so so good. We've thought about getting take out from them again a couple times since! read more

We came straight from the airport to the Boathouse. Very laid back atmosphere. The Duck sandwich was amazing. The drink are tasty and crazy expensive. On the weekends they have live music on their massive outdoor deck. Great casual diving spot. read more

This place had potential but was just meh. To start: server came to take our order and then we never saw her again until we had finished our meals (brought out by someone else) and were waiting for 30 minutes to get the check and get our leftover food boxed up. I had wanted another beer 40 minutes before that but there was zero service beyond that first visit. We got the chicken avocado egg rolls to start - they were bland and disappointing. My chicken avocado club was better and our fries were great. Husband had the quesadilla and he said there was more taste from the sour cream and salsa than anything else. The live music was great! Band was so talented. read more

Love the Jerryfest. Great day, great drinks, awesome company. I plan on going back soon.

Quaint spot to get a quick drink or something light to eat. The offerings are well prepared and more than fair on price. From shrimp, personal pizza and sandwiches. Full bar with drink specials. See you there! read more

Such great vibes! And delicious fish and chips. We went here and a Saturday and there was live entertainment outside which was great. We ordered the fish tacos and fish and chips which were amazing! We did not have to wait long for a food which was great because the place was very busy. Highly recommend this place for good vibes and great food. read more

Enjoyed trivia on Wednesday night. Lots of draft beer options and good food. Nice waterway view. Great stage for live music on the weekends!

This is a hidden gem spot in Myrtle Beach. Off the main strip- it definitely has the feel of a locals place. There's a variety of seating choices with tables, bar height tables, a large bar, and outdoor seating. We had great, friendly and attentive service by our server- Austin. The food was good and not too pricey. We had the Bog Balls appetizer that are a must try. They are like fried chicken and rice fritters. They are South Carolina's take on boudin balls. I had the fried chicken sandwich- it was nice and crispy- but there was more breading than chicken. The side of loaded potato salad was ok- a little bland- would be great with a little added fresh green onion or cracked pepper. My mom had the chicken avocado club and it was GREAT- nice amount of perfectly ripe avocado and no skimping on the chicken. The menu has something for everyone- from fish tacos to burgers. The cocktails were a little sweet but I still enjoyed my Pineapple express! Definitely recommend for a casual lunch! read more

Boathouse is nice! ...most of the time. The food is decent and priced fair. I recently moved to the area and tried out the Boathouse because it's closer than other options in the neighborhood. Other places nearby are pretty dive. There is some variability with service, depending on who is working. Kimmy is an absolute gem and they are lucky to have her! She is clearly the local's favorite. read more

Came here by accident. Boy was I glad we did! Great vibe, music and food! Band was amazing! Outside is really nice too!

Went there Friday night and they didn't have any parking available or live music no seats available and couldn't get any service a real waste of time very disappointed because of the advertising they have and it's still the off season please don't waste your time here read more

Cool laid back place on the ICWW. Great service with friendly staff. I had the chicken avocado bacon club and I am usually not a club guy but this sandwich was fresh and tasty !! Combined with the Carolina caviar it was pretty perfect!! Wife had the shrimp and they were all gone !! Key lime pie was just ok but we are from sfl so we are key lime snobs ! All in all a great lunch. ! read more

This is still not the place for a decent mixed drink. The plastic cups are either smaller than normal , maybe a 6 ounce? or you may get a 16 ounce, , the pour is very very small and you are getting about 15 ounces of soda and ice, so you really cant taste the alcohol.. All of the other bars use a standard size glass, usually a 12 ounce. read more

Great local hangout, great food good music, Kimmy,Maddie,and Jojo provide the best drinks ,food and service at the beach!

Great place, we were directed here by the tattoo artist doing her latest tattoo. She asked for a fun place with good food that we could bring our dog. This was the perfect place , we sat out back and the waitress brought a bowl of ice water for our dog. We were told you have to try the shrimp nachos, we had a few drinks and also ordered a burger. Service was great, food was great and although we were there on a Thursday afternoon you could just feel this is a great place on the weekend. We will be back. read more
