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! ref: 20219

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! ref: 20146

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. ref: 20023

Last Friday night we, went to driftwood for our second time ,was trying to go somewhere on a friday night that we did not have to wait for hours, we got there at 6 p.m. the host sat us right away , the loble was full , but it was full a party of 14 that ended up setting in our part also, well the host sat us at a 4 top along the left wall, we sat there about 4 min. or so then they sat the 14 , the young man wait on them and got all their drinks , before even talking to us over his shoulded as he was handing out drinks,so we just got up and left . I one time we did eat there the food was great!!! we are from MB, work at the sea captains House and I no it takes a great team to run a reataurants I just think that the2 young people just did not talk about giving this young man a 2 top and a 14 top at the same time Maybe will try agian sometime ref: 20004

Well, I wasn't impressed. It's a strip mall place with little atmosphere and below average food. I'd rather go to Ryan's buffet any day. ref: 18806

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. ref: 17921

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. ref: 16639

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! ref: 16018
