Wow. After a week of seafood on vacation we needed a change. Best ribs I've ever had! Fall off the bone. 1/2 rack was so big I couldn't finish. If I live here it would be my go to place for good food and happy hour. read more

Great wings and you gotta try the garlic parmesan fries. Football specials are awesome and they have all the games. read more

This is definitely a locals place, but the food was good. We are not from the area, but when we visit again would definitely go back. Eight in our party, two had the shrimp bowl, five had different types of burgers and one just had the salad bar. Everyone really enjoyed their meals and they did have a small salad bar. We also had two orders of wings, one with normal wing sauce and the other hot honey sauce. Wings were very good. Definitely not a place you go for ambiance, but the service was very good. Prices were extremely reasonable. read more

We have been going to TCT since we moved here 3 years ago. Absolutely one of our most favorites because of the staff-especially Erin! She goes above and beyond for us and every one she serves. So friendly and has become a friend. And...the food is amazing! BEST WINGS AND RIBS around. The salad bar is incredible. So cold and so many options to build your own salad. I would be remiss if I didn't mention Chris as he was the first bartender we met and would only come in when he was on the bar. He has the best jokes! And Melinda makes amazing drinks and is so much fun to hang with. And Ryan, the owner, is amazing. He visits every table and takes the time to talk to you. Carolina Tavern is your locals, family and cozy restaurant/bar. We love it and the staff. Don't miss those hidden gem!!! read more

Typical bar restaurant on the inside, they sat us right away though which was nice since we had a lot of people in our party. I ordered the tavern burger and they were very accommodating for taking off the onions or anything else I might have wanted. I got it with the sweet potato tots and I definitely recommend it was so good! I got my burger medium rare but I think it came out a little more on the medium side so I recommend ordering it cooked less than however you usually get your burger. Our waitress was so kind and very attentive as well. Also if yelp tells you that you get a 10% discount after checking in, you won't be able to use it here as the restaurant did not authorize yelp to make this coupon. read more

4-26-24 - Never ordering from here again. Ordered sauced tenders and they were delivered dry with no seasoning. The representative said that we needed to complain to DoorDash and didn't own up to an obvious oversight. He offered no accountability and hung up on us. Last order. read more

Looking for an inexpensive option for lunch that offered a large variety. Carolina Tavern is the place. It wasn't very busy, but we were visiting in February. Service was very good. The atmospy would be great if you were looking to watch the game. Decent beer selection. We ordered nachos, flats and a philly. Everything was great. Their beer cheese is awesome. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite , food & drinks were good. Erin was fantastic , thanks for the great service ! Will be back soon

All I can say is whenever I ordered wings from this place it comes out crispy and delicious. The staff is friendly and quick with the orders. I've ordered take out from here numerous of times. read more

Tonight was my first and last time visiting this restaurant. I ordered 20 wings to go and only received 14 wings for almost $30.. The wings lemon pepper were very bland and I've had better garlic Parmesan. The wings were cooked as well as I think they should have been. They never have a crowd of cars but I decided to give them a try. I can see why they are not busy. They did absolutely nothing to make me want to return and I was cheated out of my money. I'm sure there are so many people who don't post their concerns and just never come back. But if you knew why your business isn't growing maybe you could change it. You only have one time to make a fist impression. read more

This place is the bomb if you look e wings.... All you can eat for $12.99. Their other choices on their menu are just as fantastic!! The barrel burger is huge, flatbreads are wonderful as well. I don't know what they do to their French fries, but they are awesome as well. Their garlic Parmesan fries are some of the best we've ever had. Great Food. Highly Recommend!! The staff is also wonderful!! read more

One and done. The draft beer lines haven't been cleaned in months according to the bartender. The beer tasted horrible! The owner apparently doesn't want to get a steady company to clean them, again according to the bartender. The wings were decent but we wished they were cooked crispy like we had ordered them. The rest of the food was barely edible. So one and done for Us . read more

I was going to give this a 0 star review because of the waitress Erin. Started off fine until Erin came up to us for our drink order, she had a horrible attitude.. I had genuinely thought it was a knockoff of Dicks Last Resort, but from other reviews other people had the same issue with her. Not sure if she was having a bad day or what, we're not usually the type of people to complain but that was bullshit. Then we asked to switch waitresses and then we got Nicky. She was the absolute sweetest and clearly was running laps to other tables. After Erin had found out we switched servers, she decided to confront us for switching. Told us "it's not that big of an issue, and she had 5 other tables to tend to", I'm a waitress myself and if five tables stresses you out, then you do NOT need to be a waitress. Please show Nicky some love because she didn't have to take us, but I'm very happy she did. read more

Staff was friendly, place wasn't crowded and the music wasn't loud. We were seated immediately. The chicken wings were meaty and moist, but the sauce could have been hotter (I ordered medium, it was weeny sauce) I'll try hot next time. Wife had the beer can chicken taste was good but could have used some sauce like ranch or something was a little dry. Overall the place was fine. read more

Darn great food, love the staff too. Could eat here all the time! Recommend just about everything we have tried on the menu.

We put a Togo order in tonight with the bartender. She was rude over the phone to start with. When it came time to pickup the order we noticed when we got home that she put the order in wrong and gave us the wrong amount of wings and also did not give us the extra dipping sauce that we were charged for. read more

If you're looking for cheap beer, I guess this is for you. But the food is a big nope! We typically enjoy small, local eateries but from the minute we walked in... we should've walked out. All of the open tables were dirty, while servers were standing around. They had very limited non-alcoholic drink options, but we decided to stay and try an appetizer. The pretzels were HORRIFIC. I never spit food out so fast. Needless to say we left. Tipped the poor server well because we felt bad. read more

We love going regularly to The Carolina Tavern. We have a good time and love Dorian! We always ask for Dorian but we love em all! The food is always great especially the salads and chicken strips.....they are my favorite! Dorian keep up the good work! -The Jackson's read more

We came here a few years ago while vacationing in Murrell's Inlet and have been craving the bbq chicken nachos and boneless wings since! We were so happy to be back and realize they were as good as we remember! The nachos feature amazing queso, tender beer can chicken, house barbecue sauce (perfect blend of sweet and tangy), and raw onions. The boneless chicken wings taste freshly battered with fresh white meat and the crispest batter. 15 Boneless wings allows you the choice of two sauces where we went with Garlic Parmesan and Honey Barbecue. It was again the house bbq sauce along with a really nice garlic parm! We also enjoyed pineapple margaritas with the meal which had a heavy pour of tequila--YUM! We left beyond full and already planning a second visit to get our fix before we head home. From the nachos to the crisp chicken wings and homemade ranch, we simply love this spot! read more

I ordered boneless wings and they were so crispy you could hardly chew them. We use to go there alot but the last couple times we have gone the food was awlful and the place is dirty. There was a cockroach in the booth next to us. The table was dirty .. We ask to have it cleaned which they did wipe it off but told us it wasn't dirty. Since Dorian left this place has gone way down hill. The pretzels were soggy. They had 1 waitress ther with a pair of jeans on that was rip all the way up the legs. can't belive they would allow the waitress to dress the way they do. Will not be going back!! read more

Some of the best wings in town. Great pretzels too. This place is simple and not flashy. Have a good lunch deal.

Quick quiet dining experience, waitress was nice and friendly. The place was empty so it was a little worrysome but the food was excellent

The food was mediocre at best, I got a cheeseburger and then later that night developed food poisoning. 0/5 never eating there again

My family was visiting from CT and we were sad we only found this gem on our last night. Food was great, prices were super reasonable, and staff were so nice. It did have a bar- ish feel but still family friendly. Not your typical seafood fare for the area, the BBQ was excellent. I would recommend giving this a try. read more

The food, like most bar-food, was delicious. Service was amazing, too. $36.00 for two meals (no alcoholic drinks). I'll have to stop by next time for some serious drinking after midterms. read more

This place is slow slow and the staff is very unprofessional. The entire place feels very trashy. Staff fighting with each other. Just horrible. An hour wait for wings. A freaking hour wait read more

This review is based on a takeout order. We needed a quick option for dinner, so a family member recommended this place. We ordered a burger, wings, and a salad. With 'tavern' in the name, I was admittedly expecting an overcooked brick of meat, dry and tasteless chicken, and a soggy salad. Wrong, wrong, and wrong. Instead we received a juicy burger cooked exactly to order (medium), tender chicken, and a crisp salad. Price was also pretty much on point. No complaints. Will try dine in next time and update review. read more

Best wings in the Murrells/GC area. Very good garlic parm fries too. Definitely a go-to on gameday

I come her usually about once a week and they never miss! the food is always great and the service is even better. I Usually ask for Dorian when I go in as he is always good to me and does his job very well and with lots of enthusias. read more

Rustic tavern and eatery serving hand-pattied tavern burgers, hand-cut fries, slow cooked, tender ribs and wings with bold flavors. A simple salad bar of mixed greens and all the fixings available for a single serving or all you can eat. Looking for a quiet lunch without reservations on this Easter Sunday got us stopping in just as their doors opened. Place remained quiet during the duration we were there and food came quickly. My wife made a single trip through the salad bar and was pleased with the fresh array of greens, vegetables and various toppings. My order was first the appetizer Tavern Loaded Fries with their own hand-cut fries with cheddar and Jack cheese melted on top with a smattering of bacon bits. Fries were not real crisp, but came with quantity and flavor. Next was an order of boneless wings and after a suggestion of sauces settled on the honey barbecue and Sweet Red chili sauce. Loved the simple, sweet taste of the honey barbecue and the slight heated after burn of the Sweet Red chili sauce. A side of ranch dressing and celery to help soothe the slight zing to the taste buds came with it. Wings were nicely breaded and of reasonable size. Service was friendly and helpful. Typical bar setting with wood booths, high and low tables with padded chairs and an extended bar running nearly the length of the room. Outside seating was available on an enclosed patio. Being that the place had just opened was surprised to find the bathrooms needed a good cleaning. #morselbliss read more

Best shaved ribeye burger I have ever had. Had it with blue cheese crumbles and onions. OMG. I never eat a whole sandwich. I ate that one. Best thing I've had in many years. The cook was superior. The wait staff excellent. Will continue to go there. read more

The ribs and wings are great. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Dorian, our server was the best.

Had been here before and had great service and the food was good. Came back and it was a complete 180. Ordered the salad bar and only got to take 1 trip because they closed the salad bar down. Our server walked by several times and didn't ask if we wanted refills on our drinks. Took a while to get our wings we ordered, don't know how the wings were because we got aggravated and left. read more

We're locals, have patronized the Carolina Tavern frequently before the pandemic and were always pleased. We went for the first time since 2020 this evening. Regretfully, the salad bar was closed due to pandemic issues, we can understand that. We ordered two corned beef brisket platters and two drinks, a beer and a soda. The platters came, each had a small cup of mustard on the tray, so I asked for some extra mustard. The waitress was kind enough to bring us another large cup of mustard. Food was very good, no complaints, service also was good. But the check reflected a $ .99 charge for the extra mustard. WHAT??? Is this place being managed by a different staff??? Did someone not explain "customer service" to them?? It's not the dollar charge for the mustard that irks me, it's the fact that a restaurant sees it fit to actually charge a customer for additional condiments, when it's understood that the cost of them is built into the food cost. By the way, I noticed this charge after we left, or I would have explained to the waitress that the restaurant owed us at least a dollar since we never used the ketchup, which was on the table, on our fries. This is the kind of issue that turns off a local who prefers to patronize local restaurants, not national chains. I'm not sure if we will return. read more

I'm not the type to leave a review at all but we've been trying to place a to-go order for the past 2 months and they'd never answer their phones. We finally decided to go inside and eat. We walked in and it was dead inside. They had a couple people at the bar but nothing spectacular. We sat down at one of the only clean booths there was and the table was so sticky. We started with fried pickles and they could've been cooked a little longer but there were multiple pieces of chicken or something mixed in from the fryer. We asked for extra ranch like halfway through eating the pickles and we watched it sit under a heat lamp for the next 5-10 minutes while our server was just standing there, doing nothing. We were so excited to finally try their wings and we were so disappointed. We ordered mild & garlic parm mixed together and the garlic parm was literally butter and parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. We also split an order of the gravy fries and we bit into them and the cheese was rancid. It smelled so bad. I'm praying we don't get sick from eating here. My boyfriend asked for more water & it took the server almost 15 minutes to bring more when the pitcher was right across from us. Overall, it was a terrible experience and now I understand why they were completely dead at 7pm when every other restaurant was full. I wish we would've turned around and walked out the minute we walked in. FYI, this place does charge to use a card. It was only a dollar difference on our bill but we paid cash. read more

We have been many there times so going tonight for supper was a no brainer. We sat ourselves on a Saturday night and places our beverage order, placed our food order and waited and waited and waited! The food was delivered and the burger was undercooked, the onion rings were over cooked and the fries were cold. I will say my husbands chicken wings were good. Sent my burger back to be cooked a little more and unfortunately it seemed microwaved. The lack of management was apparent. It will be a long time if ever that we go back! read more
