Cute, small town, home cooked, and quaint. Our server was very friendly and helpful with suggestions. This is a new favorite restaurant. If we are in the area we will be back.

We came when it was raining, but it was still really busy. My little kids enjoyed playing in the sand pit in the back searching for shells. We got seated after about a 20min wait and everything on the menu looked good. I really appreciated the complimentary hush puppies with honey butter. They were delicious. The littles got shrimp with Mac & cheese and a hamburger and fries. They each really enjoyed their meals. The older kids and I each got the Mama Todd's Dinner Special (meat & 3). I got the fries chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy and cornbread. One of the older girls got the fried chicken with fries and Mac & cheese and the other one got the grilled chicken with fries and Mac & cheese. We all ate until we were stuffed, and thoroughly enjoyed everything. Bonus for the price being very affordable. I would definitely eat here again the next time we're in Myrtle Beach.

Fried chicken lunch special with squash casserole and Mac n cheese
Joelle C.

Stopped into The Shack (finally...lol) for lunch today as I have been wanting to get here for quite some time. Their lunch special is $11.99 (which includes a drink) and the amount of food you get is totally worth it. I got the fried chicken lunch plate with squash casserole and mac n cheese and peach cobbler for dessert. The corn bread tasted under cooked to me which bummed me out. The food was so good and I had plenty of leftovers to bring home for the hubs. My friend got the grilled chicken lunch plate with Cole slaw and green beans and peach cobbler for dessert. She was very pleased with how juicy the chicken breasts were as they can be so hit and miss. Service was mediocre and only saw our server when she took our order and dropped the check off. All in all, we enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back.

Super chicken bird sandwich with collard greens.
Stephen D.

The food is wonderful. No doubt, and the collards are sweet and the chicken sandwich was good but the onion rings are made there and dang if they aren't the best. The ambience is pure Myrtle beach... old Myrtle beach... the location is small so when it's busy, it's busy. We were there around noon and it was pretty full. The service was ok, nothing to write home about, honestly. The ladies (the waitresses were all women) moved about and checked on things. The reason it's a maybe is because if your not a local, the customers seem to notice and while I didn't feel anything, my wife was pretty uncomfortable, which had us skip the fantastic looking cobbler... hence the maybe but the still three stars for standard for food, ok service, but nothing truly that stands out...

Meatloaf and 3 sides. Fried catfish and 3 sides.

Food is always so good. Like down home cookin. Great service and always friendly. The inside is a perfect beach shack, casual and welcoming.

Grilled chicken

I absolutely love this place. It's hard to find places to get good vegetables at but this one definitely has it rockin. Their menu lets you do the classic meat and 2 or 3 while also offering platter type choices. From the road it's not much to look at but surprisingly the interior fits more people than the outside lets on. I love their rotating specials where you can get southern classics or fish. I've haven't had anything where I thought "it's just ok". The service and food is great! Be prepared to wait for a bit to be seated though. This place is not a well kept secret. A lot of people know how god they are and flock to it for every meal.

We went back again last night for the best collard Greens ever. The Beef tips and fried chicken was good too. Our waitress was so sweet, so efficient and a joy to be around. The place was packed, but people were served in a very timely and efficiënt manner that the wait time was short. The ambiance was that of down home cooking. If you don't care for country cooking this is not for you. As for me, I love it and this was our groups second visit this

No, they do not. We tried when we went down and they actually recently added it to their website as well.…

As reviews go, this is gonna be a doubleheader, which is appropriate on a couple different levels…read more A.) we ate twice here this past weekend and B.) we were in town to watch 12U baseball, as played by the 12 y/o twin grandsons. So to paraphrase Ernie Banks *skypoint* Let's eat two! On Saturday the first game was at 9:00 AM followed by the 2nd game at 10:45 AM. After a sweep for the good guys we determined not eating the hotel "food" was probably the right choice but we were both famished. A cursory search showed this lovely eatery was about 15 minutes from the ball fields and we made our GPS-led way right to it. Ish. It's very small, and it's an old house with not great signage, so my dumb a** drove right past it GPS or not. Quickly correcting my directional faux pas, we found what was, in the moment, the last available parking spot and made our way to the door. The place was packed but to our good fortune a table was getting up to leave and it was quickly cleared for us. Did I mention it's a cozy spot? From memory (which, in my case is spotty at best) I'm guessing there are less than 25 seats inside, although there is also outdoor seating so maybe forget I said that. There's plenty of room. Anyway, our server, the lovely and talented Leslie came by with coffee and water (yay to both) made a couple recco's since we were first timers and was off. Not terribly long after she returned with Fried Green Tomatoes for B squared and a Rustic Chicken Bowl (the special) for me. Both meals were outstanding! The Chicken Bowl was a schmulya of sausage gravy, fried chicken strips, waffle fries, and scrambled eggs. That's not a combo I would've considered making but dammit the dish was tasty! The FGT had a balsamic drizzle, feta, strawberries, etc. and they didn't last on her plate long. Sunday's games were at 1:00 PM and 3:00PM so we decided to simplify our meal search and come back here before our afternoon of baseball. We were greeted like old friends and shown to a table. The manager apologized for the table as it was small and in a busyish spot, but we weren't bothered by either. Leslie remembered our coffee orders from the day before and delivered them promptly. Our Sunday choices were a delightful Quiche for BB and Biscuits and Gravy for myself. Both great calls, although I will say the sausage patty that came with the quiche was rather salty. Lastly, let me just say here that both BB and I have restaurant history at various points in our lives. So we get what it's like dealing with the general public, what type of personality it takes to be good at the job. I want to go on the record that, while the food was great, and the setting was charming, the thing that made our experiences at this restaurant memorable was the staff. Everyone we encountered was phenomenal. Always hustling, always pleasant, always courteous. I know, I know, nobody is that great, blah, blah, blah. Whatever. I'm not big on giving 5 stars, I think this is only my 2nd one. They earned it. Quit whining about my review, go eat here, and tell me where I was wrong. You can't do it, because TL;DR I'm right about this place and you'll love it too

Very cute outside as it is inside, staff were courteous and friendly…read more My mother, her sister (my aunt) were celebrating my aunt's Birthday. Our waiter was just fantastic and super sweet when addressing my any. I had a pineapple mimosa to start with, it was ok, a better quality champagne could be used. Brunch for me was the Ham omelette with green peppers, onions, cheese, and minus the mushrooms. It was delicious. The fried potatoes were crispy and tasty. The low country biscuit was fall apart good. Very cute place, will definitely go back!

I had breakfast at Toasted a few times and was always impressed with the quality of their food…read morealong with the creativity of their dishes. I had seen a tv spot about their new offerings of dinner, I knew I had to try them. We played golf up near Calabash, we had the opportunity to stop at Toast. Their menu offered a wide variety of their creative options. I chose the Shrimp Cherie, my wife chose the Slammin Salmon which was prepared with a couple of ingredients she couldn't have. They made suggestions on how they could alter the dish to satisfy her dietary needs. We both thought our meals were over the top. The service was fantastic our server was attentive but not a pain. The owner was very friendly stopping by a couple of times. The patrons were mainly local, the owner knew them well. His warmth radiated through the restaurant as the evening went on. My only regret was it took me so long to try Toast. It may be a bit of a drive for us but it's well worth the trip, we will be back very soon.

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

I have been coming to Boundary House for years and had a chance to bring a friend this past…read moreweekend. 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!
