We asked the front desk at our resort to point us to a local resturant that the locals go to. This was it. Close by and the food was excellent. Try the She Crab Soup, wish I had asked for the bowl instead of a cup. We sat outside. It was a little noisy with the road traffic but we got used to it. Service was good but nothing special. The oysters with fried green tomatoes were perfect and my fried oysters were the same.The prices were also very reasonable.

The food was decent. The service was not so decent. They made the major mistake of bringing us our dinner before we had finished our salads - like 2 minutes after we had been served our salads. This basically ruined our experince there.

We tried this restaurant upon advice of my hairdresser and were not disappointed. The atmosphere was charming and the waiter attentive and very friendly. The quality of the food esp. the honey mustard chicken was excellent. The she crab soup was the best I have ever had and a "must" to try. We are looking forward to going back for the very affordable "early bird specials" from 3-6. Also we want to go on a Fri or Sat eve and listen to the "live" entertainment whom we have been told is an excellent guitarist and diversified singer. The fireplace was an added plus and our overall experience was GREAT.

We could not have asked for better or faster service. We had a large party, called ahead and did not have to wait at all. The food was wonderful. The blackened salmon and shrimp alfredo were great. We will make this a regular stop on our trips to the beach.

This is such a hidden treasure located on the Murrells Inlet by-pass. From the moment we walked in the décor and ambiance spoke to us. The brick floor and the lit fireplace made us feel right at home. I ordered the Seafood Platter and my wife ordered the Blackened Chicken Sandwich. We loved them. We have been back numerous times and the food has always been top of the line, the staff and owner friendly and we will absolutely go back. What a great dinning experience - we love it!

My husband and I have been here twice and I just took my Mom & Dad, who were visiting from Maryland. I do believe this is my favorite seafood restaurant in Myrtle Beach. Prices are right, food is cooked properly, from the seafood to the steak. Great Happy hour too. On Friday's there is a one man show, plays guitar and sings and he is very good. This place is delightful and I truly hope they succeed.

Salt Creek is one of our favorite regular choices. It is open everyday for lunch and dinner so there is never a question of their hours as is the case with some restaurants. We often like to eat a late lunch after golfing and Salt Creek has early bird drink and meal specials hich fit our schedule and budget. At least one of the owners is always present and they always ask about the meal and service, They are so accomodating to give us whatever we need, extra gravy, a taste of this, a sample of that. The atmosphere is comfortable, casual and friendly. Try the steak, she crab soup, oyster shooters.

Having decided on dining at the Salt Creek Cafe, we were thoroughly satisfied and surprised. Had enjoyable meals, rib eye steak, macroni and cheese and soft shell crabs, not to mention the great desserts. We'll be back.

This restaurant location has been numerous restaurants over the past 25 years and we would like to see this one succeed. We have had two bad experiences there. We had not eaten and stopped there one night after a meeting. They really just wanted us gone. We didn’t want much so we split the Turkey Dinner but they refused to split it in the kitchen. Any restaurant in Murrells Inlet or Charleston where we eat never has refused to split a meal. We don’t care if they charge a split charge. They brought our salad out and immediately brought the entrée. We felt rushed and it was not a pleasant experience.

The second occasion was with friends who wanted to go there. Again, we barely took a bite of our salad when the entrées came out. Three of us had the Salt Creek Chicken that was very mediocre. There are too many good places to eat to bother going back.

We are now locals and this is our favorite place.The owners are always on site and make sure everything is going great. The food is fantastic, I love the fish tacos, salads, appetizers, cheese pizza...well everything to be honest.They have five different cocktails that are only THREE $$$ all day long! I highly recommend the bloody mary. And the she crab soup is some of the best I have ever tasted!!!! The atmosphere is cozy and attractive and most times there is some live music.

This has become our favorite restaurant. My wife and I are "seniors" and are usually looking for light fare and bargain prices. Salt creek has an early bird menu that is outstanding. With happy hour prices on drinks and a selection of entrees approximately 30% below standard menu prices but without reducing size of entree, it is "the" bargain. The quality of the food is great with a Thai chili sauce for the calamari or horseradish sauce for the zuccchini/portabello mushroom appetizers. We often share an appetizer and a pizza (the BBQ chicken pizza is special) and bring home tomorrows lunch in one of their unique take out boxes. I also recommend the mushroom & chicken fettuchini but it leaves no room for their wonderful desserts - watch out for the mud pie!

This by far is one of the best restaurants I have been to while vacationing in Myrtle Beach. The food and service were both excellent!!! The restaurant if very laid back and like the other persons review, my husband and I were personally welcomed by the owner and his wife. I would definately recommend the mushroom and chicken fettucini. There was so much of it that I had leftovers for lunch. It was very very good. Our server highly recommended the cookie slop for dessert and she could not have recommended a better one. It is a definate must when you eat there. I look forward to going back to the restaurant next year!

Being a local, trying .new places can be challenging. The food, service, ambiance and price make this restaurant a true gem! My kids beg to go to Salt Creek all of the time, they love the mac n cheese and the special pink and blue drinks just for the younger crowd. My husband loves the Thanksgiving dinner that is available year round. As for me, I try something different each time we dine there and I have enjoyed everything! Salt Creek provides a relaxing, beautiful, family atmosphere without the noise and commotion found at so many chain restaurants and allows us to eat something other than burgers or pizza as a family.

Our first experience at Salt Creek Cafe was one of delicious food (loved the fried oyster Caesar salad), delightful service, (smiles greeted us from the entrance, to our server, and our personal greeting by Keith, the owner), and the savoring of the ambience of the restaurant. Salt Creek has an aura of comfort and enjoyment, from the seating to the charming, beautiful surf pictures around the dining room and the bar area. Speaking of which, what a knockout area to enjoy happy hour! It truly sparkles. This restaurant is a definite keeper for us.

Dining at Salt Creek Cafe was a great experience! The menu is eclectic - made up of food the owners love to eat at home - I know this because we were personally welcomed by the owner who was the former manager of the Gulf Stream...the food we ordered was great! The She Crab soup was to die for - the salt creek grits - (our first tim trying grits!) really great. We ordered fish tacos to try something new and they were really tasty - We would definately go back to Salt Creek Cafe for the food - the service - great prices and great ambiance..(also to be noted...the surf photography on the walls throughout is really something to see.)
