I have been coming to Boundary House for years and had a chance to bring a friend this past weekend. Always a lovely experience! Typically, when I come, it is with a larger group so we have to sit inside. For anyone wondering, you are likely always going to have a wait. And that's okay! There is a wonderful beach and Christmas shop right across the parking lot that you can peruse - I promise you can kill at least 45 minutes, and the meal is well worth the wait. This time, since it was just my friend and I, we decided to sit at the outdoor bar, which is first come first serve. We were quickly seated, so it worked out perfectly. One thing I will say is that this patio is in the direct path of the setting sun, so just have your sunglasses ready. I ordered the Sarita Margarita, which is my favorite cocktail they have. It is like a fruity, boozy slushy. Absolutely delicious and perfect after a day at the beach. I always get the Hurricane Chicken. It is my absolute favorite meal. If I were to have my choice of my last meal on earth, it would be Boundary House's Hurricane Chicken. When you order an entree, it comes with a side salad. My recommendation to you is to get their house raspbery vinagrette, it pairs perfectly with this salad! Now, the Hurricane Chicken itself is this delightful combination of a chicken breast, crab cake, and shrimp with some delicious sauce on top. It is so creamy with the variety of flavors that three meats bring. In case you don't finish it all, it also reheats well for leftovers the next day. Parking: there is a large parking lot with plenty of spaces. If you're ever in Calabash, you have to stop in at Boundary House! read more

Located on the beachy strip that is River Road and has lots of parking on site. This place is huge, a cathedral if you will with high ceilings, a huge bar, plenty of tables and booths. The interior is nautical of course with lots of polished wood. Its so big that not 1 but 2 large whaler fishing boats hang from the ceiling. Its so large that it was the only place w around on a Friday night with a minimal wait at dinner time. Decent sized menu with many sides. One nice feature is that even if a dish comes with one side, you can replace it with another; Plenty of seafood but also steaks, pastas, and sandwiches. All provided by a very friendly staff. First off, treat yourselves to their house made croissants with butter & honey. Apps -- the Calabash Seafood Gumbo ( only $10) a tomato based soup with shrimp, crawfish, oysters, Andouille sausage, and okra served with rice was meal in itself. Goof flavors and fresh ingredients. --the New England Clam Chowder, cream based chowder loaded with chopped clams was excellent. Entrees --( a Special) grilled Snapper topped with a mango salsa with a fried risotto cake and asparagus was good but not great. The fish was very good but the risotto cake was not. I should have optioned mash potatoes instead. All in all, large portions, great prices, and very good service. Definitely a place to go to when in the area. read more

So I came to this restaurant a couple of days ago and to start off my review I think The presentation and the ambience and the service of the restaurant is very good. There was a waiter I had named Keith (I may have his name wrong if so, my apologies) who was very nice and accommodating, and I really hope he is commended for his good service). Secondly, the food there was was really good as well, and even the cocktails/frozen drinks were very unique and creative, which I liked. I also like how they have nonalcoholic beverages as well, as seen in the photos and I hope more restaurants, such as this one can expand on it more. One of the few downsides I had with the Restaurant for me personally, was the fact that there was no Wi-Fi at all nor was there any form of digital payments such as Apple Pay/Google pay etc, and I'm not sure if the no Wi-Fi thing is an intentional choice, but I think having both of those things in a restaurant should already be common practice in 2026. Almost every restaurant you go to has a digital payment option as everyone is using those. So if you're trying to call someone or use your phone for other things, it becomes way harder with the lack of signal. Overall, the presentation of Restaurant is very nice and I definitely would go again to explore more of their options. if you're a restaurant trying to go for a more old-school approach or style to things, you can at least do so while adapting with the times. read more

Our party of six returned for lunch last week, and we were delighted with our visit. The Boundary House is conveniently located directly behind Callahan's Store. After a few hours of shopping, it was a good place to go for a bite to eat. Our server was Summer, and she was gracious and helpful. We love the atmosphere of this place, with not one, but two large fishing boats suspended from the ceiling. The interior is comprised of oak stained hardwood, and is beautiful. They have a full bar, and a kitchen that puts out wonderful food. The menu options are substantial. We each enjoyed our meals. read more

I went back for the first time in 11 years and had an even better experience than the last one which made me come back this time! I went with the baked potato soup, prime rib sandwich, and key lime pie. All 3 items were such a treat to have. The service was great. Although it was busy, the waitstaff was still attentive - even taking the time to give some personal recommendations. As a result, I tried my prime sandwich with the recommended horseradish sauce and that made it just that much more enjoyable. The restaurant atmosphere is one of the best parts. Its interior is so well designed and decorated. It's great sitting at the bar or in the large dining area. I can't wait to come back, hopefully sooner than another 11 years read more

I will not stop thinking about this meal until I come back again!! Different, unique menu options like the Hurricane chicken and colorful cocktail list. The service was fast and despite the restaurant being high/high volume our server was attentive and food came out fast. It was packed on a Friday night. read more

Pretty much regulars here at BoHo. Had dinner at the outside bar and tried the fried shrimp with Alfredo pasta. I don't eat a lot of fried, so first time trying the shrimp. It was fine, nothing to rave about. The Alfredo pasta was merely pasta with grated cheese on top, really no sauce. I did request extra cheese twice, but that did not happen. Yes, in the midst of tourist season, but with empty seats and tables, and seemingly more than adequate staff, was disappointing. Beautiful setting tho. read more

We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The food was excellent, the staff was attentive, and every dish our group ordered was a hit. Our party enjoyed the ribs, strip steak, ribeye, and blackened scallops, and there were no complaints. The house dressing was especially memorable, and one member of our group said the loaded potato soup was the best he'd ever had. read more

Love going there ! Staff is very friendly, food is very good. Always a packed house . Highly recommend the turkey burger , and their salad, and tonight I had the French dip and it was excellent. Very thin sliced meat and the sweet potatoes was delicious. read more

Food was delicious and our waiter Seth was amazing!!! He was very attentive and sweet.

Stopped here for dinner and there was a really long wait. Apparently the outdoor seating has a separate waiting list (also first come first serve but a little less organized) and we had a much shorter waiting time. The outdoor patio is pretty nice. Very roomy and they had some fans blowing which I think helped keep the flies away. The server was extremely friendly and was on top of everything! He was running around everywhere but still managed to frequently check in with us and make some small talk/crack some jokes. The server recommend I get the house salad with 2 dressings and listening to him was one of the best decisions I made. I'm not a big salad person but it was probably the highlight of my meal. I really love how they add a croissant to the salads. It was so soft and flaky and had a nice honey butter glaze. Rest of the meal was solid and pretty much what you'd expect of fried oysters & crab cake. Mashed potatoes could've used more garlic and cheddar flavor but they were still good. read more

Been going here for years. Has become nothing but a tourist trap. Small portions high prices food so so . What a disappointment.Definitely won't be back . Oh, on top of it they start with a 20 % suggested tip . read more

Michelle was our server and did a wonderful job! Lunch specials were great. Everything was clean and real nice inside. Great decor! Shrimp and grits were kinda dull. 6 out of 7 orders were perfect. Croissants were out of this world! read more

Recently tried this place with our neighbors! Great atmosphere! Glad we got there early as there was a line to be seated by the time we left! Our waiter was great! Very attentive and a great, dry sense of humor! My wife ordered the clam chowder and loved it! I ordered a rack of ribs and she ordered the scallop appetizer for her meal! Both were very good! Our neighbors had the prime rib sandwich and chicken quesadilla and they said they were very pleased! read more

The best restaurant on this portion of the coast. Easily. Food? Fantastic. Service? Even better. Not a single moments wait in a crowded and busy restaurant. Sirloin could be pulled apart with a fork. Potatoes fluffy and delicious. 10/10 stars. read more

Food was just okay, not worth the wait. Waited an hour and half before we ever got our entrees. Got the wings for an appetizer again just okay nothing great or to be bragged about. Definitely won't be coming here again. read more

It said in two places they have a dedicated fryer for safe fried seafood for people who are Gluten Free. The server said they use to but never updated their web site. It is Calabash so I expected fried Seafood . The manager acted like I made that up. I decided I wasn't going to argue with him so I told him that. We waited almost a hour before we got our food . They said the kitchen was behind. They brought me regular tea instead of sweet and I didn't get the side I ask for either because it was a dinner item. Don't remember seeing that on the Gluten Free menu. Will not go back. Disappointed came from Wilmington. read more

I liked this restaurant but also didn't like it. Ordered the crab balls then fried flounder with a crab cake. Both the crab balls and crab cakes were made the same way. They had the consistency of tuna salad and were not good. Mystery fish and filler. The flounder was questionable also. I don't think it was flounder but probably whiting and frozen. Very disappointing for a seafood restaurant. The fried shrimp were delicious. The salad was really good too The atmosphere was nice and the restaurant was nicely decorated with an ocean/beach theme read more

Seth P was AMAZING!!! Top of line service!!! The food, environment, drinks, and atmosphere was the best in North Myrtle Beach. read more

Seth was a great server who made wonderful recommendations. The seafood was excellent and the cocktails hit the spot! Loved the nautical decor - we will definitely be back. If you can, ask for him! read more

Our first visit to The Boundary House exceeded all of our expectations. We had a reservation, so we were seated immediately upon entry. I am a fan of nautical themeing, so the wood interior, nautical lighting, and boats made me very happy. We had studied the menu prior to our visit and knew we were getting a basket of croissants to start and Monte Cristos for our lunch entrée. We live an hour drive away, and since no establishment in our area offers the Monte Cristo, we were more than happy to make the trek to Calabash for a Valentine's Day lunch. I paired my meal with the Blackberry Martini, the perfect libation for this entrée. Our server Grace L was the best! She made us feel like honored guests. The manager came by to check on us as well, and from what I observed, The Boundary House provides impeccable service. The place is quite relaxed and casual, yet the experience truly is one of fine dinning. I fully understand why this place is so popular. We will definitely be back for dinner and do hope that Grace will be working that evening. She really is a super star. read more

Overall service from our primary server was pretty good. Very attentive and took care of a couple of small issues right away which was great. Got to say though, the food was very disappointing. Started out with a Salad which was good (croissant with salad was great). Main meal was downhill from that point. Ordered a combo plate with fried oysters and blackened grouper. seasoning on Grouper was pretty good but fish was a dry. Oysters had nice flavor but were very greasy and had very little breading on them. Both the hushpupplies and fries were luke warm. Fries tasted like they were fried with the same grease as the fish they prepare. Paid $40 for a meal that really wasn't very good. Others in our party pretty much had overall same feeling. Grits they ordered were bland, no sausage in them although stated on menu there would be. Not a great experience read more

We went to The Boundary House in late August 2025 because we heard they had pretty good Prime Rib. Well they did not disappoint us one bit. The prime rib was roasted to perfection and the chef might have slipped with the knife because these seemed much larger portions then advertised... (when does that happen?) We are going back the last week of March with some friends from out of town coming to visit. I'll update this review once we do. read more

We went with our family of 7. Lots of food and drinks, easy to get things mixed up but the entire staff with our server Lexi did everything perfectly. We had amazing appetizers, special drinks from a full bar, and entrees that were done to perfection. The New York steak Pittsburgh style is the bomb. The service was exceptional. read more

Great service - waiters were very polite and helpful with menu choices as well as specials were perfect

Both the food and the service are good. We've been a few times and have never been disappointed.

Very popular restaurant so make sure you have reservations. The upside of this is table service is very prompt. If you do not have resys there is ample open seating at the bar. very diverse menu. Reasonable prices. All of the above explains the popularity. I tried the fried oyster dinner...very satisfied. will visit again when next in Calbash. Recommended. read more

Service was good. But the flounder was overcooked and the crab cakes had no lump crab, as I was told by our server. I was told to try the restaurant from a neighbor, but I wouldn't recommend it. Way over priced on what you receive and below par quality. read more

We stopped The Boundary House for dinner. There was an hour wait, but we enjoyed strolling through Callahan's next door until our table was ready. The restaurant was busy, and a bit noisy though not so bad as to be off-putting. The menu has most of the standard Callabash seafood fare, with steaks, chicken, and pasta dishes as well. Pros: 1.) Our server Aliyah was excellent. She was knowledgeable about the menu, and how other diners had felt about dishes and drinks. She provided spot on recommendations. 2.) Overall, the food was good (with a few exceptions noted below). The hot bacon house dressing, the basket of croissants, and crab drip were particularly great. Cons: 1.) The hushpuppies. Something was just off about these, but we all agreed that they were not just not good, they were bad. 2.) Our group of seven was seated in a round corner booth that wasn't the most comfortable. Overall, a nice restaurant whose service outshines any minor deficiencies. read more

Gave it a 2 because our waitress Amy was terrific! Went there 3 years ago and it was great so thought I try again. Was so disappointed! My husband ordered the scallops and they were so salty he had to dip them in the mash potatoes to eat them. I ordered the shrimp and grits. I am not a spicy person but the grits were so plain. The sausage that was with it was delicious but there was such a little amount and tiny bits I was lucky to get a bite of it with shrimp and grits. Very disappointing. For the price will not go back. read more

The weather was nice and we sat outside in the bar area. Our bartender was very attentive and friendly. I started with Pama Mojito. The presentation of this drink is amazing. It tasted as good as it looked. It had the right amount of rum and mint leaves. For my entree, I decided on the Boundary Combo, pick two. When in Rome, you have to try the seafood. I'm glad I did. The flounder tasted very fresh and it was fried to perfection. It wasn't overdone. The shrimp were a nice size. I chose a house salad and mashed potatoes. The house salad is great. It had eggs, tomatoes, bacon with a tasty honey mustard dressing. The salad comes with a buttery croissant. The mash potatoes were divine. Definitely try them. My friend got a club sandwich and once again it was presented well. Love this place. Can't wait to visit again when I'm in town. read more

Dropped by before a round of golf for quick lunch. Ended up disappointed we weren't coming back for dinner.

The place is pretty nice, but the food is terrible. Dry chicken, dry fish, the quality was not good. Plate waste of money. Staff was cool but this is just about the food tried this place before and didn't like it then. Will not try again. They just don't serve good food. read more

Wonderful food, wonderful service, this was a last minute stop for us on a road trip and I would recommend!!!

Service by Seth was exceptional very busy restaurant we did not have a reservation, but the wait time was around one half hour.Which I didn't think was bad read more

I had lunch yesterday afternoon on the outdoor porch and ordered the shrimp quesadilla! I have to be truly honest there was barely any shrimp in it, and I was very disappointed. I'm wondering why you do not offer tacos in your restaurant I know you have them at Clarks. I would definitely suggest you add them to your menu. I think they would be far more popular than your quesadillas. read more

Either I have had a "senior moment" or my review of Boundary House has disappeared. I am going to assume the latter since Boundary House has been a must visit since our first meal here several visits to Myrtle Beach ago. I discovered the Flounder lunch special on our first visit and although it is a bargain ($12 at last visit), it is one of the most delicious fried fish meals I have had in a long time. It is a serious piece of flounder. None of that thin and small flounder that makes you wonder if the catch was legal and if the flounder population is being decimated by serving such small flounder. The dining area is very comfortable and there is plenty of room. They can handle a lot of people. Courtesy of the pandemic they have added a wonderful outdoor dining space to the back of the restaurant. Service has always been friendly and efficient for our visits. The food has come out pretty quickly after we ordered. read more
