If you're looking for a "hangout" type of place with good food and just your basic blue collar type people, this is it. The food is awesome, the beer is cold, the boiled shrimp are great and they have the BEST Reuben sandwich ! It's just nice to come in off the beach, not have to dress up and sit outside at the ocean with a cold beer and a pan of shrimp.

5-20-06 My cousin and I spent a week at Harolds since we were staying next door. The burgers are the best! The bartenders and waitresses were the greatest very nice and friendly. We saw bands daily --- Coastline was the bomb! Lots of bikers that week to as it was bike week and they were all very nice.

This is NOT and I repeat NOT a family place. We went last week at 12 noon coming in off the beach and the place was full of loose cannons and power drinkers. I don't know what type of environment people think is "family" but this place is NOT one of them. We were seated 20 minutes and never got waited on, never even got a second glance, we got up and left and no one even blinked at our leaving. Not a very nice atmosphere at all. Sorry HOTOs but I really did want this to work, as you are adjacent to where we beach but NEVER again, very rough atmosphere.

Great location. The seats and view are just great. I won't be able to say enough nice things about that. I've had better food but, my daughter had a blast dancing up a storm with the music. It gets a little crazy at night. Over all we enjoyed it.

We visited HOTO's last week because of the reviews on this site. We are a family w/2 kids under 10 and there were other families present with their kids so it's not just an adult bar. Nice tables and chairs on the ocean front deck. Dress is casual (some come right off the beach). We had Burgers (I swear were 1 inch thick) fries, onion rings -that were the best I ever tasted- and a couple of cold brews. We loved it so much we had to go back the next night!!!! HOTO's will now be a part of our yearly beach experience.

Food quality and service has really improved! New furniture on the deck area has been purchased and installed. Can't wait for the artists to start appearing.

We went for the first time yesterday. Coastline was there, what a show! We, my stepdaughter and myself, had great food, great music and met very nice people. Love everything about it, the cool chill in the air was even ok. We stopped by on our way home from a great Myrtle Beach weekend of fun. We knew Jim Quick was going to be there and took a chance that we would get to hear a little bit of great music and we did! Love it, will go again and again!

My husband and I go to Harold's every time we go to the beach, which is approximately 8 to 10 times a year. We love the groups he has there for entertainment (Steve Pethel and Harlequin are our favorites). We will be at the beach for a week the end of July and guess where we will spend a lot of time? You guessed it, Harold's, the atmosphere as well as the food he has to offer is just, well, we just think it is the greatest!! See you there, Shirley & Tommy

Service and the artist of the day varies greatly from day to day during peak season. Sometimes service is good, but other times, plan to go inside to complete your own order and service. Just as service varies, so do the artists and their level of skill. A great view and sometimes great music but service really is a problem.

This is a great place to relax and have a good time. Always good entertainment on the deck. Peel N Eat shrimp is the best here! Great food and cold beers. Very laid back atmosphere. Good if you want to kick up your heels. Can't wait until next summer Diane

This is a red neck bar. If you want a bar where you can find a fight or just stupid red necks, this is it. It's really a shame becouse it's got so much potenial. The ocean view is nice. It's obvious the owner isn't in it for the money.
