We ate here twice while on vacation. Nice atmosphere and good, attentive staff. They had some excellent food items (spinach dip with shrimp- OMG! And perfect crab cakes and “crab balls”) and some so-so food items (believe it or not the fried shrimp wasn’t so good and the ribeye steak was just ok). We loved all the funny signs and... More

Had the scallop sandwich...best I have ever had. The sandwich was filled with large lightly battered scallops. (7 or 8). Would highly recommend this cute little place. It is small so if going for lunch, go early as it gets busy.

Although the food was mostly very good, The minute we walked through the door with our party of 8 including 4 young kids, we could tell we had already been judged. It's a fairly quiet place. The waitress took out drink order and brought the adult drinks and completely forgot the kids drinks. Only when we asked her did she... More

Food was great and staff was very friendly, nice quite setting. We usually have the grouper, and the oyster plates, they are the best. The only draw back is the price, a little pricey so we only eat there once a month as we are both retired living on a fixed income. I would definitely recommend this place to any... More

As another reviewer posted, there aren't many places around here that are open for lunch. We found this place by accident. It looks sketchy from the outside and even as you walk through the door, but it has character. Food was delicious. My kids had she crab soup for the first time and were hooked! We had to order three... More

Up until Sunday night, this would have been 5 stars. The Inlet Crab House has been my go to seafood place at the beach for over 20 yrs. I have brought guest after guest there and we have never been disappointed in anything we have ordered. My husband and I were here for 2 wks Oct 2012 and ate there... More

Driving by at lunch time we decided to check it out. We both got the She Crab Soup which was excellent. I tried the fish tacos, which I really enjoyed, my husband tried the house burger which he thought was tasty. The waitress was very friendly and right on top of refills and taking care of us. The place really... More

They were all excellent. My son got the flounder basket that he really enjoyed. The... More

We met relatives here in Feb & had a great meal. We had oysters, shrimp, flounder & grouper baskets. Of all the 4, the grouper was best, so naturally we looked forward to grouper baskets next time around...that was yesterday. 3 of us ordered the grouper and 1 person got fish cooked all the way thru...I didn't. Then a key... More

Many of the restaurants on this 'seafood strip' of Murrells Inlet were not open for lunch, so my wife and I hesitantly selected this neon-pink crab house. Jimmy Buffet and Bob Marley welcomed us in on their radio. My wife had the clams casino, 6 for $8.95, and steamed spicy shrimp, a quarter lb for $7.95, they weren't spicy, not... More
