My wife and i have been visiting Lee's for many years. The food is good, but pricing is too high for what you get. They need to upgrade their selection of Salad Dressings; they are 10 years behind on what dressings are most popular. Broiled Seafood, especially broiled Fantail Shrimp , are not well prepared.

I recommended Lee's to friends visiting from out of town because we had eaten there previously, and everything was good. When we met our friends there on a Monday night, we expected no less than the good food we'd previously enjoyed. I ordered the broiled platter (which I had ordered before) and the scallops were rubbery and brown. Even worse, the crab cakes were spoiled. I managed to eat the scallops, but the crab cakes were sickening. I did not ask for other food to replace the crab cakes, but I told the waitress so they would be alerted to serving spoiled food. She argued with me that these were made daily and could not possibly be bad. She said they had been serving them all evening, insisting that I was wrong! I did not ask for a price adjustment for the bad food (although I should have) and she did not offer. She merely continued to argue with me about these crab cakes made with spoiled crab! I won't go back, but even worse, I hate that I recommended this place to out-of-towners.

I don't see how this business has stayed in business as long as it has. The food is mediocre, at best, and very overpriced. You can go back down the road to Drunken Jack's and get a wonderful meal, with a great salad bar and a beautiful view at a lesser price. You can tell by the number of cars at each place what is the best. We tried this restaurant years ago and didn't like it and still don't.

Our group of 12 decided this was the best food we had eaten last week (8/24-29/08). The sauteed shrimp was outstanding! The grilled and fried seafood platters were delicious! (The lobster on one of the platters was a little tough.) The she crab soup was tasty and even the steak was delicious. It was not crowded, so noise was low. The waitress was nice enough to take several pictures of us! All in all, fantastic food and service!

Not worth the calories or the cost. You can get fried (frozen) seafood and hushpuppies anywhere. There are too many other good choices in the murrels inlet area to waste your time and money here.

My husband and I ate at Lee's for the first time this year on our vacation to Surfside Beach. We both fell in love with the place. The seafood here is to die for. Light, not greasy, very fresh. The hushpuppies were the best we had ever eaten. Our salads were also fresh and the coleslaw was great. We also liked the fresh tea and wonderful coffee. We ate there twice in on week and could have eaten there again. We told our family members about Lee's and they now agree with us. Why bother to go anywhere else when vacation in the area.

We love Lee's Inlet Kitchen! If you have a choice, you want to ask to be seated in Lynette's section. She makes the whole experience better. Everyone who works there wants to make sure that you enjoy your dining experience. This is a family owned/operated restaurant and has been handed down through the generations. They have the absolute best She Crab Soup. Don't miss a chance to experience Lee's.

We visited this restaurant twice while we were on vacation in May because it was our favorite. The hush puppies are excellent, the food was wonderful, and the service and value of the meal can't be beat. Thank you Lee's for making our dining experience enjoyable and affordable. They even let you share a meal without adding an extra $5 fee, like some restaurants in Murrell's Inlet are doing. We'll definitely be back next time.

On advice from a friend Lee's was recommended to us and we were highly disappointed. Our salad was not exciting and almost all iceberg lettuce- plate was too small. Our soft shell crabs were breaded so much and fried so hard we couldn't taste them. Bake potato was good and service was excellent-- food was poor and cost was higher than some of the better restaurants that we patronize.

Amazing experience everytime. Huge portions, just the right amount of salad (and let's be honest, no one's going there for the salad- it's all about the fried seafood!) and those hushpuppies- TO DIE FOR! The she crab soup is so good I take a few cold pints back home to Ohio in a cooler. Those dissatisfied reviews above must be some mighty hard people to please, because we have never, ever been anything but delighted with out trip to Lee's! I recommend Lee's to everyone I meet! Little side note: get there EARLY in the summer, (as in 5pm, when they open the door) because it is PACKED, and for good reason

We ate on a Friday night after going to several restaurants in South Myrtle Beach. This was one of my favorites. I had the fried seafood platter: scallops,shrimp, oysters,and flounder.Excellent breading, very light. Diane had Lobster appetizer , a four oz portion with salad, Dessert was Key lime pie, a homemade dessert there. Very light. I will be back! This resturant is compared to Franks in Pawleys, The Island Deli and restaurant in Pauleys, Flo's in Murrells Inlet, and Sara J's in Garden City. By far the best value.

I have been going to Lee's Inlet Kitchen since I was a child in the 60's. We went for our 21st wedding anniversery expecting a special meal and were extremely dissapointed. We were out of tea the whole time with our drinks sitting empty on the side of the table while all other waitresses and bus boys walked past and looked but kept going. The food was below average and the price above. This was our last trip to Lee's Inlet Kitchen.

I am 37 years old and have been going to Myrtle Beach since I was 7. Lee's Inlet Kitchen has always been our "favorite" place to dine. We never leave town without eating at Lee's every year. I now take my husband & kids, who just love Lee's as much as I always have. The Hushpuppies are to "die for", honestly!! The seafood is the best on the beach. The atmosphere is very elegant and relaxing. Don't pass this experience up the next time you are in Myrtle Beach.

We went to Lee's for the first time and were very disappointed. Our waitress told us that we could only have two drink refills without an additional cost. We thought this was strange considering the prices. My sister and I were very disappointed with our crab cakes. No lump crab. My niece had scallops that tasted funny. When we complained they charged us half price. A little expensive for french fries. The green beans were canned. My nephew (who eats everything) did not like his deviled crabs. The fan tailed shrimp were small. All in all a disappointment.

Growing up as a child in Georgetown SC our family's favorite place to "eat out" was the Inlet Kitchen: the hush puppies are famous, their seafood fresh from the shrimp boats, and the informal atmosphere make a good day at the beach -- the best! This was 45 years ago, and today's restaurant is almost the "same": it was rustic 45 years ago, now there is airconditioning and good decorations... The food is the best, and we still long for our return visits to Pawley's Island, Myrtle Beach and the Inlet Kitchen.

We've been going to Lee's Inlet for twelve years and we have never been disappointed! The quality of seafood is unsurpassed in the Myrtle Beach area. The hush puppies are the best of any restaurant and typically are hot; their salads are fresh and their seafood, especially their shrimp, fresh and succulent. As a treat at the end of your meal, try their Kona Coffee; it is freshly made and we have never had a bad cup. You can’t beat the locally owned seafood restaurants.

This place was and still is the best seafood restaurant in Murrells Inlet and the Myrtle Beach area. We moved vacation locations from Cherry Grove to Garden City just so we could be closer to this wonderful restaurant. The she crab soup is the best I have tasted, and believe me, I've tried many places! Their hush puppies and honey butter are perfect. Their shrimp is succulant and the flounder delicious. Their Kona coffee is freshly made and is a wonderful way to top off a wonderful dining experience. Very family oriented and they have a wonderful aquarium that entertains the kids. Try this place, you won't be dissapointed.

This is our favorite restaurant on the planet. Always our first and last dinner each time we visit Myrtle Beach. Its a little pricey for what you get, but we are willing to pay for excellence. The fried shrimp is the best we've ever had anywhere, including Southwest Florida. After many years of coming to Lee's, there was only 1 time when the service was less than excellent. We tried one of those "trendy" restuarants on the water in Murrell's Inlet, and it was good, but not in the same league as Lee's.

My family and I have been coming to Myrtle Beach area for over 25 years and Lee's Inlet Kitchen is always one of the highlights of our trip. We have NEVER gotten a bad meal at this restaurant, The hushpuppies are WONDERFUL and I doubt you can find better seafood anywhere. I love the quaintness of Murrell's Inlet and the long time family owned restaurants are far better than any of the chain restaurants. We are looking forward to eating there again in July. We are counting the days!!!!!!!!

As residents of Myrtle Beach we often go to and recommend Lee's Inlet Kitchen. Our recent visit left us quite disappointed. It seems that they have joined the trend of reducing portiion sizes without reducing the prices. The salad was mediocre as was the rest of the dinner. We haven't decided if and when we will go back.

We were referred by a local citizen while touring the nearby Brookgreen Gardens. AWESOME!!!!!!!! Fantastic food, better service and even if all you came for were the hushpuppies, you'd leave happy. We arrived early just as they were opening for dinner so we had no waiting. But it was filling up fast when we left 45 minutes later. Can't wait to go back to Myrtle Beach just to go to dinner there. Had the crabcakes, they were wonderful. Worth every penny and if I never eat at another "calabash" type restaraunt , it would be too soon. Lee's Inlet is the real deal.

Our family has been going to Lee's since the 60's. We went this summer and it was a real disappointment. The quality of the food is not what it used to be. Fried shrimp at Lee's used to be heavenly, now it is merely ordinary. I ate better fried shrimp at 3 other restaurants while I was in Myrtle Beach.

My wife and I are from Canada and head straight for Lee's upon arrival. The fried shrimp is excellent and their broiled grouper is absolutely magnificent. The red clam chowder makes my mouth water, a bit spicy, but wow what taste ! We have been frequenting Lee's for a number of years and rate the food as among the best in the Myrtle Beach area. We are introducing another family member to Lee's in the next month and I can't wait !!

Upon the recommendation of my father-in-law we stopped at Lee's Inlet Kitchen at the end of a week of eating overpriced, unimpressive meals at various high-end restaurants in the Myrtle Beach area. All I can say is I can't wait to get back in August 2005. I had the seafood platter...it left me speechless. I had never seen so much seafood on one plate in my life. I skipped finishing the salad, saved the baked potato to take back to the condo, and started in on the lobster tail, shrimp, scallops, deviled crab, oysters, and clam chowder. (And I didn't even touch the huge piece of lounder - which with the potato, some shrimp and a couple of scallops went home to be lunch the next day.) My father-in-law witnessed me unable to finish a meal for the first time. We even took home eight pieces of their key lime pie as a delicious substitute for my wife's birthday cake. The staff was attentive and so nice, making the atmosphere perfect for enjoying a long (and large) dinner with the family. It makes me hungry just thinking about it! GO, GO, GO! You'll be glad you did.

This is our favorite restaurant in Murrell's Inlet. The quality of the food is outstanding! We usually like to arrive by 5:30ish so we won't have to wait too long for a table. Most of the time we walk on in. By the time we leave there are lots of people waiting so remember to go early. The price is kind of high but we are willing to pay it for our favorite meal of the week. We highly recommend this restaurant.
