Review: Great Food, Great Prices, Great Atmosphere, Great People!!!!
Such a great place to eat!! The fried seafood platters are absolutely delicious and the Monday night special is great! Buy one seafood platter and 2nd one is half off! Also, early bird specials from 4 PM - 6PM every night are very reasonable and come with drink and desert!!! Steaks are outstanding as well. We look forward to our visit to Driftwood every time we are at the beach!! All of the staff are so friendly (Linda, Elizabeth, Latoya, Mike, Bean and the rest of the staff!) Looking forward to our next trip~~~ You're missing out on some delicious food if you do not visit Driftwood!!!

Review: Worth the drive. The crab legs were much better than any of the callabash's and much cheaper. This is the best seafood we ever ate.

Review: During our visit to Garden City, we visited Driftwood's Steak and Seafood, based on reviews we read online. We must say it did not disappoint!!! The early bird specials 4p-6p are VERY reasonable. The fried 3 item combo I ordered, (choices were scallops, oysters, shrimp, deviled crab, flounder) came with 2 sides. It ALSO included the drink AND dessert (choice of key lime pie or chocolate cake) ALL for $12.95. The fries were hand cut, not 'bag' fries, and were very good, the cole slaw was excellent. Sweet tea was just right, not 'too' sweet like ya get at alot of places. Highly recommend this restaurant. We will revisit next time we are in town.

Review: This was great place my brother-in-law took us to. It's in a small strip mall on Hwy 707 near the local high school (St. James High ???). We went on a Monday night and they have a buy one get the second entree1/2 off (excludes senior meals and crab legs). They offer a menu of various seafood entrees, steak, chicken, hamburgers and ribs. The portions are large and very tasty. Service was excellent (Latoya A.) in a clean typical beach atmosphere. I felt the prices were reasonable and typical for the Myrtle Beach area. We look forward to going back.

Review: I love this place! BEST fried shrimp around with a wonderful flavor every time you order it. More than enough food for the price, absolutely wonderful! If you want a plate of fried seafood, not a buffet, definitely make this your restaurant of choice!!!

Review: Food is consistently good. We have ordered many of the seafood items from the menu and they are always cooked well. Some wait staff are exceptional and others are just average. The food is what counts so we will return often.

Review: I ordered the Grilled Salmon and the first time it was not cooked. The second time it was bland. I found that the Salmon was not to my liking. It could have been better. I was disappointed.

Review: My wife and I dined here recently. Seated immediately, onna was our server, she was great. Very helpful, had drinks, to large of glass, mix diluted the taste of alcohol, had a bloody mary, why do these places insist on using ready mix when a good one is so easy to make, but I digress. Donna brought us hush puppies to munch on, but no appetizer plates at all, and no type of sauce to dip. Food arrived very hot exactly as ordered surf and turf was excellent per my wife, I got seafood platter, first bite was fried oyster and got a mouth full of shells,damn near broke my teeth, platter good but typical fried food. Overall very good, need some small improvements but would return and have broiled fish with crabmeat in addition to steaks only cause all that fried food tastes the same. This place is a winner, and i'm very picky.

Review: What a wonderful restaurant! The service is very friendly. Happily greeted by perky hostesses. The owner is very active at every table. Nothing but smiles from everyone. The food is good, and the prices are amazing. Not a great view, but for the price, who needs a view? I highly recommend this place!

Review: We have a vacation home in the area. We found Driftwood and have returned often. The seafood is always fresh, I had the best Mahi I have ever tasted, and the shrimp are great.They also do real good Carolina BBQ ribs. I would recommend it to any families or couples looking for good food in a family friendly atmosphere.

Review: Oct. 30 decided to see what they had to offer some 6 months after Ive seen them on Beach TV. So we came in around 430ish, 6 ppl in clear view, ordered a glass of wine each. Wine was excellent. Looked over menu, She ordered Stuffed Flounder, I ordered Ribeye & Chicken plate. Best breadstick I have had the pleasure of biting into the sad part was there was only ONE! Stuffed flounder was a little cool, not ice cold but not fresh out of the oven either. She wasn't to keen on the stuffing used for this dish. Now lets talk about the combo plate I got; Prime Rib, ordered med rare came out perfect, Grilled Chicken breast, frozen product, pre-cooked,w/grill marks but never did it hit a grill due to non smoky flavor also overly marinated to lock in all so called juices, no good. You can do better than that if you put your mind to it......local chef

Review: We dined here a few nights ago with a friend. We ordered seafood platters and to our surprise, the flounder and crab cake was a frozen product. Either put into a deep fryer or microwaved. The tip off was the absolute picture perfect look of the food. The breading looked as if it had been sprayed or painted on. It was too perfect.
Quality of the food was sacrificed because of the product used.
Staff was fast and very friendly.
We decided we would not return for another meal here.

Review: This was our second meal here. Both were very good. We get there early,5PM. Sat right down, when we left it was full. Food was very good and $10.99 for everything you "need" to eat was very reasonable. Except for the buffets not many places just seat you and serve you in minutes from 6PM on. I have been to way more eaterys in the area then I care to think and have waited at all of them, except the buffets, one time or another.Our servers were young and very friendly.I have eaten at recomended places that were all I was told and some that were terrible and very expensive, within weeks of the recomendation. I'm just sayin', they all seem to have a bad day now and then and I think it sometimes has alot to do with the attitude you bring to the table and your servers.
We'll be going back, early, and often.

Review: We visited Driftwood's tonight for the first time. We have a second home in Surfside Beach and eat out frequently. The food is excellent and comparable with any restaurant we have visited in the area.

Review: We have watched this restaurant grow from the beginning, taking the chance to be off the beaten path hoping to be able to offer affordable prices you can't get at the beach. What a great idea, the food is constantly compared to some of the best seafood restaurants in Myrtle Beach. We are an easy family, so we understand how things can be. We come to the beach to relax and not be in a rush, so Driftwoods is our favorite place. Yes, they have gotten much busier and yes, many people have found out about the beaches best kept secret but the consistency of the food,service and affordability keep us going back as a couple or with our guest. With the atmosphere they have achieved, you would never know you weren't at a restaurant at the beach, we will continue going back ! The new raw bar area is going to be very helpful and a added plus for those who may have to wait a minute or two !

Review: Recently visited Driftwood's and was very impressed for how busy the restaurant was. Our party of six was seated faily quick for the many people that were waiting (thought it would take forever). Once sat, we were greeted immediately but it did take a minute to get our drinks. We placed our orders which took about 20-25 min. to be brought out but were perfectly cooked and exactly the way we ordered them. Overall our party was very happy with our visit, they were very busy and neither the service nor quality suffered!

Review: Called several times before arrival to confirm available table for eleven. Still had to wait 15+ minutes. Ordered from "early bird" menu, chose three broiled items. Wait for food was excessive. Deviled crab should be called "deviled bread" as there was little evidence of crab in it. Four quarter size scallops that were sandy and gritty. Four maybe 36-41 count size shrimp that were overcooked and rubbery. Hush puppies that were greasy through and through. Bleech! Fellow diners left much on their plates and in their bowls. Take home in foam boxes was eventually thrown out. The key lime pie was actually pretty good. And wait staff was very perky. Will not be going back, though.
Bon appetit!

Review: We were seated very quickly. The menu had several choices and the prices were very reasonable. The food took a bit longer than I would have liked to come to the table. Our waitress seemed to have tables all over the room, so our service was slow. It also took us longer than normal to pay our check. The food was good and you get a good amount of food for the money. I hope our experience with the service was due to short-staffing and is not the "norm." We plan to return with our children at another time.

Review: Driftwood's offers the best value for the large amount of delicious seafood you get! We have eaten at this restaurant three times during our week-long vacation here and each time it has been fantastic. The early bird special is also a terrific value--with drink and dessert included with your meal! We have vacationed at Myrtle Beach and surrounding beaches for over 35 years and this is one of the best values and best seafood we've had. This restaurant is a little off the beaten path on 707, but it's well worth the few minutes it takes to drive to it from the oceanfront.

Review: Well it seems a little unbelievable to give Driftwood's all Excellent ratings but "Above Average" isn't good enough for any of the categories. I don't know if I can say that everything is perfect but if you like seafood and especially if you have a family, you NEED to go to Driftwood's. There was less than a 5 minute wait even at peak dinner time, it's off the beaten path for Myrtle Beach dining. I don't think you'll find food as good or better anywhere else without paying a LOT more, and even then it might not happen. Many locals could be seen at this somewhat small but modern restaurant just 20 minutes from Rt. 17 Business on 707 (within sight of McDowell Shortcut Rd.).
I personally had the Mahi Mahi which was great, not dry and little or no detectable "fishiness", the hushpuppies are as good as any I've had, the fries are cut and cooked in house, and the green beans are flavored with prime rib bits and broth, all impressive preparation for a family-style restaurant. My parents got a beautiful stack of fried seafood (the Driftwood Platter for Two). I also saw the blackened salmon and fried catfish and all were well prepared.
On Mondays there is a special deal, buy one entree and get second of equal or lesser value half off. We just happened to come on a Monday and for 5 people dinner (with two salads added on) cost just $61, average of $12 per person. Truly amazing, you must try it out.

Review: I've lived in the Murrells Inlet/Myrtle Beach area my whole life and cannot find better seafood than at Driftwood's. The food was by far amazing and the service was exceptional. I always bring my family to this restaurant when they come in to town. You won't find better food or prices anwhere around!
