Review: We absolutely love this restaurant. It is one of 2 in the Myrtle Beach area that we cannot pass up every time we visit the area. The food is very good, the atmosphere and view are great. The hushpuppies are "to die for". We tell all our friends and relatives who are headed to Myrtle Beach that they just have to try Drunkin' Jacks and they all come home with rave reviews of this place. As for the wait, if you arrive around 5 pm, your wait will be shorter, sometimes considerably.

Review: This was the first time @ Drunken Jack's Restaurant & Lounge. They were very busy, had to stand in line outside. The line moved quickly and we found our way to the lounge. The bartenders were very friendly and informative, and our time waiting for our table was very enjoyable. When finally seated, the waitstaff was very friendly and the food was very enjoyable. For great food and very friendly service, I highly recommend Drunken Jacks.

Review: Don't let the name fool you.....it's not a bar...

Four of us (two 60 yr old, well traveled couples) ate here last week and had 4 excellent meals. Their outside covered deck "lounge" (not really a lounge and kid friendly) and live guitarist made our 50 minute wait (quoted us 1 Hr) pass quickly. At 7PM, a 1 Hr wait is not bad in a good restaurant at Murrells Inlet. Prices are reasonable for the area, the atmosphere is excellent as one overlooks the sound, and our waitress was super.

Net: This is an excellent restaurant and we will definitely return next trip.

Review: July '06 This was our first time at Drunken Jack's since moving to the area from NY 2 weeks ago. I had read some reviews prior to our visit. We were more than satified with our entire experience there. I had the crabcake sandwich w/ sweet potato fries. Honestly,THE best crabcake next to my Aunt Peggy from Maryland! Can't wait to go back for more. My husband ordered a tuna steak with fresh steamed veggies & also had the sweet potato fries. He was also VERYimpressed with his meal. The wait staff was friendly and effecient .And we were seated immediatly.The view from the outside patio where we sat was relaxing and casual. What a find!! I also applied for a job while I was there, need I say more?

Review: Food was ok. I had Mahi, but I have to say the Mahi at Outback is just as good. Hushpuppies were great. Salad bar makes it a little second rate. View and atmosphere was excellent.

Review: We had someone take us to DJR&L last year and had a very enjoyable evening. The food and service was excellent. The wait to be seated was fairly long, but the bar and lounge area down stairs was a nice place to wait to be seated. The story of where the name came from was interesting too.

Review: What a perfect dining experience!!! It was my 1st time to the restaurant and my boyfriend's 5th or 6th. I should have listened to him on our previous visits to Myrtle Beach and visited sooner! The food was delicious! I had the Grouper Royale and he the Alaskan King Crab Legs. The Hushpuppies w/Honey Butter (served before every meal) were crunchy on the outside and sweet & soft on the inside, fried to perfection! Our server was quick, courteous and very knowledgeable. We had a window table and even had an extended visit from "Cecil" the resident Murrells Inlet Snowy Egret who sat outside on the railing. A wonderful dining experience. It doesn't get any better that this!

Review: At the suggestion of the waitress I had the fresh trigger fish (first time trying this particular fish) and it was great. Oysters were not good during this visit. They were replaced with no questions with another item. This is our 4th year in a row patroning this restaurant and is still at the top of our list.

Review: If seafood to you means breaded and fried, and if you want a restaurant with a gimmick, then you will love it. Seriously, it is probably one of the best of this genre on the Strand. Salad bar is adequate for a side, but not for a meal. I had a pasta/seafood dish. The seafood was great; pasta and sauce were below average.

Memories: excellent hushpuppies, nice view of the inlet. I've never seen so many people taking pictures of a restaurant's sign.

Review: Wonderful place to eat.

Hushpuppies (as previously posted) are excellent. Salad bar options are just enough. Mahi-mahi is my usual entree.

Wait staff is efficient.

Atmosphere is nice in combination with the views of the inlet.

Review: Been going to Drunken Jack's since I was 8 years old. 31 now and am taking my family there. Atmosphere, food, service..........it's great. The wait isn't usually as long as they expect it to be.

Review: We have been visiting Pawley's Island for the past five summers, but this was our first trip to Drunken Jack's. (We read your site and decided to try it.) We were thrilled to find a new "favorite" and we will continue to go back each time we visit the area. The seafood was fresh and fantastic; choices were numerous; service was great, and although they told us to expect a one to one and a half hour wait, we were seated in 55 minutes. Even our teenagers loved the place! If you are vacationing anywhere near Murrell's Inlet, you must try Drunken Jack's! (Oh, and it was unanimous that the hushpuppies are the very best we have ever tasted!)

Review: This is an excellent well run restaurant with great food. The first restaurant we go to when we are in Myrtle Beach is Drunken Jack's. You may wait to get in on a busy night but it is worth the wait and usually not too long.

Review: Bravo! Perhaps the best in Murrells Inlet. I have been visiting the restaurant for about 18 years. I wouldn't change a thing. The food is excellent, the service is friendly and you have a great view of the inlet. I recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the Myrtle Beach area, I think I have sent, maybe, 200 or more and they all were more than satisfied. I just have a hard time believing that Jack washed down all that rum. If you do visit, ask about the legend of Drunken Jack. (NOTE) If still available, you should try the hushpuppies w/ honey/butter sauce, the best I have ever had.
