We were a party of six (4 adults and 2 children). After reading the reviews we were expecting a serendipity experience... Boy were we disappointed. I thought it was pricey for what we got. Baked potatoes were old and had to send them back for fries. Ordered two seafood platters and most of it was cold or barely warm. Also no hushpuppies come with the dinners!! The She crab soup had shell in it and was nothing special. Crab cakes were mostly filler--not what you would expect at a crab house. If you can't find a better seafood place (which almost any restaurant would be better)' just eat steak or some other chain would be more enjoyable. Will certainly not be back!!!!!!

We were riding by and seen a lot of people coming out. It was a small place but we figured it must be good. The food was great and inexpensive. I told someone else about it at the pool where we were staying and they went the next night. He thanked me for telling him about . We will go back for sure.

If you are looking for a casual but EXCELLENT seafood restaurant then this is your place. The oysters are wonderful and soft shelled crab is another favorite. We have been dining here for many years and have never been dissapointed. Dont forget the Carribean Martini! Overall Great Place to eat!!!

We had a party of 9 and were seated expediently. Some of our selections were She Crab soup (superb), Shrimp 'n Grits (delicioso), Soft Shelled Crab (excellent), fried scallops (out-of-this world), fried shrimp (tasty), and grouper bites (superior). We had #1 service with absolutely no complaints.

I'm a local and just discovered this place a few weeks ago. The fish chowder is unbelievable. I've ordered it each time I go. The seafood pasta dishes are also consistently awesome. The live music is great and not too loud if you are seated indoors. Now if I could just convince them to devein the cold boiled shrimp, it would be perfect...

This place is great to take visitors for lunch. The food is exceptional and fresh. Prices are reasonable. This is a small place but not really intimate. Atmosphere is like the name. A crab house. Nothing fancy but the food is great and they serve it fast, hot and fresh.

A very small restaurant and not really what we imagined. We read the reviews and our hopes were up, but very disappointing. The crab cakes were horrible for the price. Very over-priced!!! Not really what we were expecting and would never go back. There are much better restaurants up and down Buisness 17.

Stopped in for lunch on a Friday afternoon and were extremely happy we did. We had shecrab soup that was delicious. I had shrimp and grits which is a homemade specialty and it was great. Being from PA I don't often sample grits so this was a leap. This was the best meal of the week by far.

Nice place, and staff. Decorated very charming. But we were disappointed in the food. The crab cakes tasted like crab meat out of a can with egg to hold it together, breaded and pan fried. Not what we were expecting. I would say this is more for locals than for tourtists. I wouldn't recommended it..

I ate here last night. It was okay. The basket I had should have been around $8.00 instead of $12.00 because it was mostly french fries. But it was a nice place to duck into from the rain and wind.

She crab soup tasted ok but was frothy and nothing but liquid. No sign of any crab or anything. We ordered the Shrimp and Grits (we were told they were on special for $9.95 when we called in) but when our check came it we were charged $14. We brought this to our waitress' attention but she argued with us and told us we were mistaken. As we departed, we approached the gentleman who was seating the guests and asked about the Shrimp and Grits special and he confirmed that they were on special for $9.95. Oh well, we got taken. We didn't want to argue with the waitress any longer due to the heavy smokers who were depleting the oxygen...so we left for good.

I have been eating at the crabhouse for several years now & I have to say things have changed. The atmosphere is delightful with the music and all the interesting things on the walls, but the quality of the food has gone down as well as the management. My visit there was ok until a customer got really upset & the manager proceeded to yell and scream at her. I also heard the management make rude remarks about there employees & this was very disturbing to me. I will never spend another dime in a place where people are so rude and not appreciative of there workers. I would not advise going to the inlet crab house!.

After reading the internet reviews, we decided to give the Inlet Crab House a try, and we didn't regret it! The prices were reasonable, the portions were good, and everything tasted great. The she-crab soup was delicious. We had fried crab claws, soft shell crab, and crab cakes (hey, it's a crab house!) and all were good. Even the fish in the kids meal was tasty. We would definitely recommend this spot to fellow travelers.

We read the reviews and were especially looking for good seafood, but not a "tourist trap." They did not disappoint. We almost drove past it, so keep your eyes open! The crab soup was just as advertised below... delicious. We would stop here again, should we ever be in Myrtle Beach in the future.

We took our friends to the inlet crab house a few weeks ago and had a great time, they have the best she crab soup we had ever had. If you are in murrells inlet or myrtle beach you must try it the food is great, we had the carribean grouper wow it was excellent and the selections of martinis were very good, the service was also great, they made us feel like we were on a fun little island, you should try this great little restaurant. We will go back..

We are semi locals, have a place in Surfside and eat here often. One of my favorites at the beach. I love the grouper bites, best fried fish anywhere, I promise, and I'm a big seafood lover and have been on the coast since birth. I also love the shrimp salad sandwich, the creek shrimp are tiny and so good. My husband often gets oysters and they are great too. I am a crab lover, and the crab cake sandwich isn't my favorite, not because of flavor, but because it is fresh, sometimes there is some shell left in it. The atmosphere is great though, actually is the inlet dive, not a new place playing dress up. Locals favorite.

We have been visiting Murrells Inlet several times a year for over twenty years and found the Inlet Crab House to be the neatest little place with the best food yet!!! The seafood was execellent.... We found the she crab soup to be the best we have ever had anywhere!!!! Do your family a favor and try this place.

This local eatery is a find. Have been going here for more than 5 years. Good, fresh seafood at reasonable prices. Reminds us of the dockside "fish shacks" along the Long Island and New England shores. Their bacon wrapped scallops are simply delicious.

My Family and I had the great experience of finding this great little seafood Restaurant while we were on a mini vacation, the food was great, the waitress was very nice to us and took good care of everything for us.

My husband and I both had to try the she crab soup and wow what a great taste it had. we will go back when we come back in aug. I had a drink that the make there it was a carribean Martini and it was super cant wait to have another one. I highly recommend this fine little locals spot.

This is it! The best fresh local seafood in Murrells Inlet. This is where the locals eat. Food is not sitting under a heat lamp... nothing is cooked until you order it. If you are looking for instant service go somewhere else. Inlet Crab House is for someone who wants a meal prepared the way their Mother might have cooked it! Enjoy!!!

After reading the reviews and saw all these good reviews and one bad one. I took my family to Myrtle Beach and thought we would try the Inlet Crab House.

We had very good service. we had some of the best seafood I have had in awhile.

The she crab soup... well it was great.

I have to say the wait staff and the manager were very nice to us, too.

I would highly recomend this nice restauant to any one. We will be back.

this is the gem of the inlet. a great atmosphere. the menu choices let you order items by the 1/4 or 1/2 lb. you do not pay for the fluff on some platters at other places. i was there twice last week. i am somewhat of a local, and this place is my pick. the wait staff is friendly, food is hot and always of top quality. they do offer call ahead seating, but the bar or outside is comfortable for a short wait. the food is definitely worth the wait. i take groups all the time, and have had no one to complain.

I've been to the Inlet Crab House restaurant several times and took three friends here for dinner this past weekend. I am sorry to say that I really shouldn't have bragged on this place to these folks. Most of the food was up to par, except the oysters on the half-shell, which were the most pitiful nothing little things I've ever seen. By the time I scraped the "oysterette" from the shell, there was nothing but a little string to try to get to my mouth! Worse than that, though, was the service; the waitress was so slow on everything, and I had to get up and take napkins and silverware from a nearby table for my party. We had to ask several times for our drinks, our appetizers, and just about anything else we wanted, and after telling her that we wanted our appetizers before our salads, she brought our salads out first anyway, but she only brought two and forgot about the others. To top that off, when I took the "oysters" to the manager and told her that I was dissatis-fied and did not wish to eat and pay for them, she was totally rude to me and told me there was nothing wrong with them. Then the waitress brought my bill and the appetizer was charged to me even though the manager told me she'd take it off my bill. When I sought her out to remind her that I'd been told I'd not be charged, the second manager (the first one had already left for the night) treated me and my guests more rudely than any of us had ever been treated in a restaurant and actually asked us to finish our drinks and leave "her restaurant." We were having normal dinner conversation in normal tones and trying to have an enjoyable experience. She also was so rude as to tell me (and us) not to ever come back into her restaurant! I cannot believe that any restaurant owner would have such a rude person managing his or her business, and I will write to him. It's a shame that such a nice place as Murrell's Inlet and what I believed was a delightful little restaurant would be fouled by such ugly and inexcusably rude behavior. Rest assured that none of us will ever return there, and we wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

This was a lucky find! We were recomended by locals. The restaurant was painted in bright Island colors. The seafood was fresh and not overcooked as we found in several other area restaurants. Some of my family wanted something other than seafood and found the steak and ribs excellent!! Do yourself a favor and try this little gem.

I had the pleasure of eating at this nice nice little restaurant, the food was excellent and the service was great. I had the bacon wrapped shrimp for an appitizer and it was awsome, If you like fresh fish try the grouper it was great. I highly recomend this nice little restaurant to anyone visiting Myrtle Beach, the restaurant is in Murrells Inlet SC. Try it you will love it.
