I have told more people about this place because of the food. BUT the place is so clean! You couldn't even find a piece of dust anywhere if you tried. Love that. We have be coming up to N.C. at least 2x monthly due to this place! We live off of 501 in S.C. It is worth the ride.Can never make up my mind what to eat cause everything is so good.

My family and I recently came into Boundary House for a nice relaxing dinner. We had never been there before and decided to try something new. It was amazing! I got the blackened scallops and they were not only huge but tasted great. Carmen was, by far, one of the best servers weve had in the area and didnt make us want for anything. She was also very helpful when my mother asked about gluten free menu options. Which we appreciated because some servers act as if its a burden. Even the gentleman that brought our food asked if we needed anything before he left our table even though we could see they were very busy. We will absolutly be back soon and will be telling everyone about this place!!

The food was terrific, but the wait time after 6 was long. Recommend going earlier and not missing the salad or crossionts! Would recommend. We were there in August with all the tourists. Bet it is great in off season

Hey I did not know this...but if you are a local you do not have to wait! The General Manager is the sweetest lady you could ever meet! It was a hour wait for a party of five. We said we are local and had family in town. I said my sister loves to come here when they are in town. Crystal the General Manager said..If your local you don't wait..right this way! What a restaurant that finally gets it!!! Not to mention the food and service were great. Great job! We will be back with family and friends. Thanks Crystal!

This was the ONLY one of the many places we ate at last week that did not offer hush puppies to munch on. The waitress said that they come with the meal but, if you want anything you have to buy an appatizer. When our meals arrived I was informed that my $18.00 mead did not include hosh puppies like we were told when we ordered. However she would be glas to SELL me some. I mentioned my concern to a manager in a green shirt making his rounds, he said sorry about that and disapered never to be seen again. This restaurant's greed to make the highest $ off customers stands out as the worst place we ate while in the Myrtle Beach area.

We are still raving about The Boundry. We were seated quickly, the food we ordered was amazing and the service was outstanding. Our waiter Luke went well beyond making our meal enjoyable he knew what we needed before we did. We have been telling everyone about The Boundry. Our family now has a new beach tradition as I'm sure the friends we have told will as well. Thank you for such a memorable meal and equally memorable service. We will see The Boundry again soon.

Have eaten at The Boundary numerous times and always been pleased until the last two times. (1 week apart) The server was terrible in both visits (2 different servers). The last time, she didn't check back, never asked if I wanted a refill of tea until she brought the bill and was generally less than enthusiastic about her job. Name was Pam. The second bite into the salad found a somewhat large piece of rotten lettuce. We notified the server. All she said was I'm sorry. Should have been taken off the bill.

Very disappointed with our last visit on April 11 my husband's birthday.Waitress quoted 4 fish specials at the same price that day.We chose 2 of them grouper and haddock.Our bill for the grouper was $9.00 more than the haddock.She said she was sorry and after talking to the manager he smiled and said he was sorry.There was a lack of communication with our server that night.We have been to your restaurant many times and this was indeed our worst experience ever!!!!!!!!!!

I showed up around 5:00, and we waited for 1.5 hours to be seated. The server was nice enough, but not overly friendly or anything. The salad was great! I loved their ranch dressing. I took 45 minutes for my crab cakes to finally be served, and they were mostly breading--not very tasty and not work the money. The restaurant is one giant room, so it was very noisy. I imagine that having lunch there during the off-season would be nice, but not dinner during the summer. There's just too long of a wait for food that's not worth the money.

We ate at your establishment the evening of 06/05/10.   We had never dined at one of your facilities, therefore had little inclination of what to expect with relation to fare and prices.   The fare was nice, the prices.....not so much!    Upon entering we were fairly promptly seated and within short order our server came over to our booth.    Jennifer was quite bubbly, personable, and very pleasant; this was a good and promising start.    My wife and I finally agreed to share the 16oz. Prime Rib whereas we both really like Prime Rib.    I wanted it rare and she wanted it medium rare, no real strain and to how it ended up being prepared, huh?    After a slightly longer wait than, according to amount of customers present, expected our order arrived with plain baked potato, au jus, one (let me repeat that) one roll of medium dimensions, and a supposedly horseradish sauce on the side.    Even with my half of the prime rib there was insufficient sauce  and I didn't ask for more because when I asked for more rolls I was informed that I would be charged $.80 for each additional roll.    I quickly declined and proceeded to halve the associated roll and shared this meager fare with my sweetie.    Permit me to inform you at this point that this Prime Rib was quite possibly the tenderest and tastiest that we had ever had even though it was sorely overpriced.    Except for the prices, this restaurant gets a five-star rating.    As for the prices, ONE STAR. This critique was sent to Boundary House just a couple of days after returning home. They NEVER bothered acknowledgement or any sort of response.

Ate here with friends while in Myrtle Beach for an off-season golf trip. At the chef's recommendation we tried the blackened scallops appetizer. Delicious doesn't begin to describe the flavor. These were quite simply the best scallops I have ever tasted. $10 for six, but well worth it. For an entree I had the parmesan crusted salmon w/pesto. I too had an excellent flavor, but the pesto, while tasty, overwhelmed the salmon just a bit. Still though, it was a very good dish. Others in the party were equally impressed. It was early in the evening and it was the off-season so we didn't have to wait at all. The service was about what you would expect, not 5-star but also no complaints. The place was spotless and the atmosphere was good, I will definitely go back.

Ate here 11/14/10. Food was OK but service was very bad. Server Pamela was unenthusiastic from the start and very slow to collect payment. We had to wait over 15 minutes for her to get drinks and take food orders for a bigger table before taking our payment. Once Pamela took our payment we were told they do not accept VISA GIFTCARDS and she was unapologetic. Had to ask for a manager who told us they have trouble getting paid from VISA GIFTCARDS. Not my problem since they accept VISA as payment. I had to ask for the General Manager who finally processed the VISA GIFTCARD. It took over 30 minutes for the entire payment process and the restaurant was far below half capacity. So much for Southern hospitality.

Love the Boundary House! We have a place at OIB and always eat there whenever we are down...at least once a month. Multiple visits have gotten excellent food, excellent value and wonderful service...until this week-end. We own a restaurant at home and usually leave 20-35% tip...except this server got 10% for the poor service. We were not demanding, did not come in at closing, had no complaints about the food...but what waitress refills the drinks of two of us and looks at the third person and sees his glass is empty and walks away...was it that it was his one refill of water?

My husband and are new to the area, just moving here from NYS. We stopped in to The Boundary House for lunch one day. Wow, very nice place. The staff could not have been any nicer. The amount of food we got for the price was unbelievable. To top it off, it was delicious. The house salad, was just great. I was shocked when I saw it. Up north the house salad is lettuce, and one piece of tomato, and cucumber, maybe a slice of onion if you're lucky. Seriously, couldn't believe how good everything was. We usually never order desert, but this day it was raining very hard and felt we needed to order more to sit there, so we ordered the "mini" desserts. I thought it was a great idea for the price had to be just a taste. Well, again, I was shocked at the size of the mini desserts. Also, delicious. For the price, the food is fantastic. Looking forward to trying dinner. Yes, the set up of the restaurant makes for a noise, but if you're going out for a private romantic dinner maybe this might not be the place, but for a good meal and fun, I think it's great. You can just be yourself and have a wonderful meal.

We were told to go try the Boundary House for dinner. We were so thrilled with the quality and value, we went back with some friends the next night while on vacation in Sunset Beach. Our friends had gone to one of the "other" Calabash seafood restaurants and were very disappointed in the seafood. The one friend said he would never eat there again. We visit Sunset every year and have a few restaurants that we HAVE to eat at while there. The Boundary House is now on the list!

Had reservations for 4, arrived an hour early to enjoy our friends at the bar. About 10 minutes after our reservation time, we inquired when we would be seated. Hostess responded she had no idea. We paid our tab and left. Don't have any idea how the food, service or value are. Went to the Grapevine without reservations. They were full, but owner made a place for us in a matter of minutes. Will not go back to BH. It's always Grapevine for us!

Don't let the above ratings fool you, I've been to this place twice in the past year while on vacation and have had an excellent time on both instances. Even though the place is a bit commercial for Calabash, it probably has the best tasting food in the area. The service is always excellent, and the bar is always stocked!! The only downside is it is a bit more expensive than the other restaurants in Calabash, but you can't complain for a restaurant of this caliber, especially when they bring you such large portions! Also, during the summer, expect to wait if you get there in between 5 and 8. I will always try to get back here everytime I'm on vacation.

My husband and I have stayed in the Calabash area for a number of weeks each year since 2006 and we have never disappointed with our visits to The Boundary House. We feel that it 'beats' anything in the Myrtle Beach vicinity in price and quality for the price we pay. My husband's favourite item on the menu is the potato soup and I enjoy the house salad in particular but we try out different items on the menu. We come from Nova Scotia so we eat along the way as we drive to the Carolinas and we have an opportunity to eat at various restaurants. Too bad there is not a franchise of The Boundary House! Regarding the problem some folks have with getting a seat ... we've never had a problem. It is probably because we come in February/March when there are not as many tourists.

we have enjoyed the food for many years. It is a bit expensive, however if the food is very good, it is worth it. I like the prime rib sandwich and my wife enjoys the po boy sandwiches. But most important, you have no smoking in your restaurant. What a novel idea. I hope soon every place of business in both north and south carolina will be smoke free. r.j. Sell little river.

I have been eating at the Boundry House now for almost 3 years I remember when they first opened I order chicken with alfredo and hated the alfredo sauce. One year later I went back with a group of people and had a great dinner and i have been going back ever since. Being from the area I now eat there once a week sometimes more the house salads are awsome They have the best babyback ribs I have ever had. they also have some of the best ny style cheescake and excellent service. Lunch there is also great and the price is certainly right. Check this place out I gaurentee you you will not be dissapointed!!

Its true that there is a occasional wait for seating at the Boundary House but that is a good reflection of the popularity and quality of this establishment. We are local and patronize this restaurant quite often. Its always on the list to bring visitors here and none of them have even been disappointed. Great house salad makes a fine starter and everything we've tried from burgers to full entrees has been enjoyable.

They could at least have fresh seafood. Six fried shrimp on my plate and a one fried crab cake that was perfectly round and filled with something.( not crab ). Dry and hard hush puppies. Perfectly round. All for a higher price. This is not about money. It's about a restaurant that is out of step with traditional Calabash. New and fancy is great but a poor value for the money is not. However they had a great caesar salad. After the meal I realized I had wasted my money. I want be back.

We read reviews before heading to this restaurant for lunch. Prepared to be in awe of the food. Just didn't happen for us. The shrimp quesadilla had about 6-8 tiny shrimp and heavy cheese. Supposed to have spicy shrimp, jalopenos & scallions. The shrimp was bland, small, and no jalopenos. We didn't read the full menu description till later that day and it didn't describe what we ate. The place is beautiful, the service is excellent, immediate seating at lunch about 12:00 pm. Very clean! All of that is a plus. Maybe dinner is better. We probably wouldn't go again.

We purchased a townhome in Carolina Shores last year and we try to visit 3 to 4 times a year and The Boundry House is a must go to everytime! The food is excellent, great service, and we love the atmosphere! We sure wish we had The Boundry House back here in Upstate N.Y.

A co-worker suggested the Boundry House. I was excited until I read other reviews, but took a chance. I called at noon and asked about available seatings between 5:30 and 7PM. Was told 5:45 was good. We arrived at 5:35 and were immediately seated. Within two minutes, Caleb brought lemon water and took our wine order. Croissants were wonderful, we skipped dessert and got an extra order of Croissants to go, so our travel mates could enjoy for the next breakfast. Salad was very good. Nice mix of greens and protien, nuts, bacon, etc. Entree's were wonderul. Service was effecient and subtile high tech. Servers were all electronically connected. Very friendly staff. One server though my partner and I were twins, she saw us seated not standing to see the difference, we got a laugh. Next year our whole group (14) will be making the trek for a wonderful dinner.

Came at 6:10 PM on a Thursday, was quoted 60 - 90 minutes. After 45, checked at station and was told a bar table was available now. We took it, and they crammed 8 people onto 3 small 2 ft x 2ft cocktail tables. Waitress must have been responsible for the whole bar area because we rarely saw her. We felt shoe-horned into a tiny table in a corner. Service was poor. When the foor came, it was very good and of decent portions for the money. The only exceptions seemed to be shrimp. We tried the Firecracker Shrimp appetizer, which was a poor attempt to copy Bonefish Grill's Bang-Bang Shrimp. Was a smaller portion than Bonefish, and at a higher price. Was also not as good. On the Shrimp Po-Boy there were not enough shrimp. Crab cakes were huge and good, as was most everything else. The croissants were the thing to get, order a few baskets for your table. If you go, make reservations 2 days in advance, or forget it. I called Thursday at 3 PM and was told they only accept reservations for 1/3 of the seating and that they were full for Thursday and Friday. We went anyway and the wait was horrendous. They cramp WAY too many people into too small a place and don't provide enough help to properly service them. You feel like you're eating on top of other people. They have plenty of land around and should expand this restaurant and hire more staff.

After a full week of eating absolutely terrible, nasty, expensive food all throughout myrtle beach, this place was outstanding!!!! they told us the wait would be 1 1/2 hours - i had heard it was worth the wait, so we did - waited 35 minutes, shopping in the nearby giftshop, which is awesome too - the pina caloda was awesome, the salad and crossiant was great - almost ordered another one - then the crab cakes were great!!! topped off with creme brulee cheesecake, and we couldn't ask for more - then the check came; didn't pay as much as we had all week for the nastiest food i've ever imagined, served in various locations throughout myrtle beach.

I went here with my parents on vacation. the best thing we had were the crossiants. First they advertised they had a "flat iron steak" ,at the restaurant they didnt have it. I had to get a sirloin. My dad got oysters rockafeller and the oysters were in little pieces. I ordered my steak medium and it was well done. My mom got a filet mignoin and her's was the only cooked right. My dad got a New York Strip Pittsburgh style and it was 99 miles away from Pittsburgh. Also it was too thick to be a New York Strip. All of that was $$$$. Waste of money.

This is the best restaurant we tried in Calabash. I had the blackened scallops. The portion was large and they were cooked to perfection. The price was appropriate for the portion size and quality. The others in our party all had perfectly cooked meals as they were ordered and served in a timely manner. Our wait to be seated was about 45 minutes at 6:30. This was the time quoted to us at the door to the minute. There is lots of comfortable seating while you wait. Our party of 8 was seated together as requested. We will eat here again and again.

This place was just OK, i was expecting it to be a bit better. There was a bit of a wait before we were seated so if you can make reservations i would make them. I ordered tuna steak and I asked my food to be cooked w/ no oil or butter on my veggies and sure enough it was brought out slathered in oil. I didn't make a fuss but I would have appreciated it if my waitress actually listened to what I wanted.

This restaurant is terrific if your going to eat in calabash. This is the place to try! The potato soup is to die for! The crab cake was delicious, the fries were very good & the blackened maui maui is the absolute best ever! Great salads. There were 8 people in our party we only waited about 30 min to eat. The place is packed so we were a little crowded at our table but we accepted the booth so we did not have to wait any longer but the place is worth an hour wait. One of our favorite restaurants of the week.

The scallops are to die for. I got them blackened and they were the best I've had. The portions are huge and it came with a large salad and a side also. Our server was very helpful with ordering as it was our first visit and it surely will NOT be our last. Truly great food. My husband had the shrimp and they were large(unlike most Calabash shrimp) I found a new favorite restaurant and would surely recommend it to anyone. Can't wait to go back and get those scallops again.

This restaurant is the BEST between Myrtle Beach and Ocean Isle Beach. The service is superb, the staff is friendly and efficient and the food is excellent. My husband, who rarely eats a salad absolutely loved the house salad and dressing. I highly recommend it. It also comes with honey glazed croissants which are yummy. I was so full that I did not have room for dessert, but next time I will try something and take it home if I have too. The person who gave a bad review must have been a manager at a fast food restaurant, because he definitely does not know good food and service if he rated this restaurant poorly. This restaurant is the best and I will definitely go back SEVERAL times my next visit to Ocean Isle Beach.

This review is long past overdue. We hosted our son's rehearsal dinner here for 38 guests back in October. The manager, Crystal, was wonderful to work with ahead of time. We had several prices ranges to choose from and they even changed their menu choices to accommodate us. When our large group arrived we were seated right away. We had two waitresses, Sam & Cheryl, who worked quickly to take care of everyone's needs. The food was wonderful and served in a timely manner for such a large group. Crystal, who we didn't see until we were ready to leave, was working in the kitchen to make sure that everything was just right! The Hurricane Chicken was wonderful. The service was outstanding. We would highly recommend the Boundary House. If we ever make it back to Calabash from Iowa, it will definitively be one of our stops!

This was a lunchtime visit so we had sanwiches. My husband had a hamburger with blue cheese added. He would have liked more cheese and the waitress offered it but he was all ready eating so he passed. It came with crisp fries and a lot of them. I had the lunch special of a Monte Cristo sandwich and lunch salad side. The salad was delicious and the blue cheese dressing was excellent. Th sandwich was so large I couldn't eat even one half of it. It is ham,swiss, and turkey dipped in funnel cake batter (the waitress told me this before I ordered) and fried. I was expecting a regular sandwich dipped in egg batter like you use for French toast and grilled. It was ok but the breading was very thick and heavy. It was served with raspberry sauce for dipping. I would not order this sandwich again. The food going by to other tables looked delicious and many people could be heard saying how good it was to their fellow diners. Our waitress Lisa gave excellent service and checked with us every time she passed. We will eat there again. Don't pass up the croissants drizzled with honey. They are the best.

We live nearby and Boundary House is superior to the majority of the local restaurants, which are often only open in the summer and/or serve primarily deep-fried seafood. Boundary House has a much better menu and is consistently reliable if you have out of town guests looking for a nice place to go for lunch or dinner.

My previous review for The Boundary House was the one posted on July 13, 2007. It's certainly has been a while since that experience, but my wife and I decided it was time to give TBH another try. We are glad we did! We entered around 5:30pm and were quickly seated. Our waitress was Deanna. She was attentive and very accommodating throughout our visit. The food was great; I once again ordered the crab cakes/fantail shrimp combo, and I didn't want to chance another cold sweet potato, so I ordered the side of garlic cheddar mashed potatoes. No complaints this time. We topped our meal with the chocolate bundt cake, vanilla ice cream, chocolate dessert. Yum! Four spoons devoured that within seconds! Food, service, atmosphere... all very good. We will certainly not drive pass TBH on our next visit; we'll stop and look for another great meal.

For dinner, I had the Prime Rib - medium rare, and it was perfect, could cut it with a fork, melt in your mouth. My wife had the chicken, and was very happy with it. We plan on going back at least once more before heading home. Best value for the money...

Went to The BH last Friday (8/29) and had the fried flounder with a bowl of chowder...outstanding! The only problem was I underestimated the size of the house salad (which was also very good) and could barely finish my meal (and three Blue Moons)! I was in a party of twelve and was seated about 10 minutes before our reservation time. No one complaint at our table. The Hurricane Chicken looked good, too!

This was our first trip to the Boundary House and it certainly won't be our last. Drinks were wonderful (I recommend the frozen peach daquiri!), service was great, food was fantastic, and the restaurant is wonderfully clean. We had a party of 6, most of whom ordered seafood, which was perfectly cooked. My daughter-in-law ordered steak, which was also cooked perfectly. (She ordered "well-done," and it was cooked without being dry.) I wish we'd had room for dessert, since they had so many choices, but we were so full from dinner we couldn't eat another bite!

My family and I ate there for the first time on Tuesday and plan to eat there again tonight before we return home. The food was excellent. We had steak,scallops, salmon, crab cakes and flounder. Everyone was pleased with their choices. My sister commented that the salad was one of the best she had ever tasted. The combination of greens, nuts and the dressing were all very good. The menu offers a wide variety so we plan to try something different this next visit. We would highly recommend the Boundary House - it tops our list of restaurants in the area!

I have been a manager of a similar upscale restaurant in Charlotte, NC which later developed into 3 other states after being on the cover of INC Magazine.....that being said. I have NEVER in my life felt the feeling that a server made our ENTIRE TABLE feel....which was HORRIFIC. We were served our drinks and told rudely" it was an hour wait to be seated, an hour wait for drinks and another our for food...that we shouldve went somewhere else"......THEN if that wasnt hateful enough....when our salads arrived, my father (who by the way was his birthday. We were told by the hostess he would be sent a cake -- no singing which we were ok with. THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. WE again were treated terribly and we are normal 25% tippers. This case should have been 0, but we tipped 20%.......I would highly reccommend more polite wait staff and fair treatment of each guest. Especially when you dont know if they have CANCER or not. It could happen to your family. And a meal out together should be a pleasant experience, not treated like we should have gone somewhere else.......wait....WE WILL. AND will SPREAD the word all over the southeast!

Went to the boundry house for the first time july 14, I was very impressed with the restaurant, that we went back a second time the next day while vacationing in mrytle beach. Im in the restaurant business back in king north carolina, so I know that a restaurant has faults, its one of the best restaurants I have been too in a long time. Someone who has been all over the world, and have eaten at alot of restaurants. I know what im talking about,i highly recommend this place, very clean,great food,great atmosphere ect. I would not listen to bad reviews, try the restaurant out yourself then judge great job guys keep it up see you next year. George c. Moutos.

As a family who frequents Myrtle Beach every year, we have eaten at many of the restaurants the area has to offer, but the only one we continuously talk about is the Boundary House. We had dinner there last summer and immensely enjoyed our meal. We had an appetizer of cheese fries (amazing!) and the four of us each had a different seafood dish (i can personally attest to the fried shrimp). Being that we are from Maryland, we know good seafood, however, we are often disappointed in southern restaurants because they do not fix it properly. However, we were VERY pleased with our meal at the Boundary House. The atmosphere was wonderful. Our waitress and a second waiter were prompt and friendly with their service and very attentive to our needs. We were seated immediately and were out in a timely manner. Overall, an excellent restaurant! We plan on returning when we visit Myrtle Beach next week!

This place has great food and service. Try to arrive before 5pm to get seated quickly, otherwise you will hit the rush. If you like Salmon, get the one on the menu with Pesto sauce, it's to die for. The crossiants were good too, and the salads as well

My husband and I make it a point to visit this restaurant at least twice each time we visit the Myrtle Beach area. Although many things on the menu are good, our favorite is the Chef Salad. The house dressing is a mixture of Honey Mustard and Hot Bacon. It is served with a fresh baked croissant with honey butter drizzled on top of it. My mouth is literally watering right now thinking of it. Make sure you are hungry if you order this salad. It is huge and packed with toppings. Don't order this salad if you are on a diet. Mmm Mmm Good! We wish someone could make that salad and dressing locally.

We love visiting Calabash, but frankly can't eat all of that fried food anymore. We decided to give the Boundary House a try before we decided to stop visiting Clabash altogether on our annual vacations. WOW! I am so glad that we did! The food was excellent, there were great selections, and the atmosphere and service in the restaurant were great. My wife had a very unique seafood gumbo; I had a large plate of blue crab claws; our teenage son had a steak; our daughter had chicken from the kid's menu. All of our meals were fantastic. We were there at 6pm on a July weeknight and were seated very promptly, did not have to wait long for service or our meals, and just thoroughly enjoyed our visit! Thanks to the Boundary House, we will be able to continue to visit the town of Calabash every year, and continue to enjoy the boat docks on the waterfront, Callahan's Christmas shop, miniature golf at Tropical Adventure, and ice cream at the Calabash Creamery!

We were in the restaurant several times between Feb 15 & Mar 15 of 08. I loved the atmosphere of the nautical theme, the cleanliness, the service,everything. No one was discourteous. I really liked the Monte Cristo sandwich & the house dressing. We will definitely return if we are in the area next year. We were there for both dinner & lunch.

This is a terrific restaurant. I travel a lot and this is one of my favorites. The food is wonderful, the service professional yet warm and the atmosphere is casual without being a flip-flops and cut-offs joint. I have eaten here many 20 times and it has never disappointed. I enjoy bringing guests here as it is always a winner. I would recommend The Boundary House without reservation!

Ok I came to eat with my family while I was on vacation from the city. When I came into the resturant a lady with brown hair and glasses standing behind the stand, said hello how are you then turned around and started talking with a man in a tie and was ignoring me. But when she turned around gave me a buzzer and said "it shouldnt be long" and an hour later she sat me in this booth all the way in the back near the kitchen. Where I was served by a server named samantha. She was excellent and gave great service, and the food was wonderful. All in all I would go back again but I would not want to talk with the lady up front she seemed to lie to keep me in the resturant..

I recently visited the Boundary House in Calabash, NC. We frequently vacate to the beach and for two years we have been eating at the Boundary House. Here recently though, our service has been spectacular. We are made to feel welcome the moment we walk in the door! The night we came in, there were 3 young ladies and a young man working up front. They made my family and I feel very welcome! They all had smiles on their faces and made us feel that we were important. The windows out front were so very clean and the rugs at the door were spotless. This restaurant takes pride in cleanliness! Especially the bathrooms! They were very clean! When the hostest sat us at a our table, she let us know who our server was, told us to enjoy the meal, and was very easy to talk to when my husband was asking her questions about the restaurant and food! She was great! Our meal was outstanding! When we walked out the door, once again the hosts made us feel great and told us to come back! We made it a point to stop and speak to them and thank them for their hospitality! That makes a restaurant! We will definately come back when we are in town again, because the restaurant keeps getting better and better!

We have visited the Boundary House on three occasions, hoping the service would be better. The wait staff is very eager and friendly, until they take your order. After that, you never see them again. The main course wait time is excruiatingly slow. There should not be a 45 minute wait between appetizer and main course. My mother ordered a chicken salad as her main course. When our appetizer salads came out, she was served one as well. Odd when you order salad as a main course. So she didn't really touch it, wanting to save room for her dinner. The table was cleared, the main course came out late ... and my mother was served a piece of grilled chicken. Apparently the grilled chicked was meant to be for the salad she thought was an appetizer. So her meal was served in two sections, 45 minutes apart from each other? Of course, the waitress was no where to be found. The food is mediocre at best and very confusing when served the way it was. For the Grand Strand area, there are many other choices to choose from. Save your money on this one.

Great place to go any night of the week, food and service are outstanding. Not too many places to get a good meal in SC or NC! I would like to see it become a non-smoking restaurant! Even though smoking is permitted in the bar area, it flows throughout the dining areas.

My wife and I arrived late, about 9 PM. My wife had shrimp and they were good. I had the crab cakes and they were heavily breadded and were not very tasty. We got the crab dip as an appetizer. It should have been called cheese dip. The staff was unethusiastic. I felt it was over priced. We were late and it is the off season, so we got seated promptly. There were few customers in the restaurant so the noise level was good. I wont go back.

This is one of the nicest stops I've found since I came down in November 2007. It's just a nice comfortable place. When I feel like going out for just atmosphere, I go to the Boundry House. When I go by myself, I'll eat at the bar which is very nice.The place is very clean. bathrooms included. There is hardly any smell of smoke in there. Only once at the bar did I hear any offensive talk by one of the regular businessman, who was not spoken to regarding it. Apparently being a regular customer. Other than that, I've had all good experiences there.

The older gent who greeted us kept hovering around our table telling us jokes which we did not find amusing in the least! he's rude and made the experience unpleasant! otherwise the food is excellent and the waitstaff is exceptional. The prime rib is something out of this world and I recommend it!.

Went there in mid-December. It was off season and not crowded - asked for a non-smoking section, and they tried to seat us near the bar (all patrons were smoking there). Was then re-directed to another location (much better).

I ordered the mixed seafood (shrimp & scallops), wife had a steak. Her steak was fine, my seafood mix was terrible. First, the scallops tasted stale and rubbery, and the flounder was to die for, litterally die for - the fish was smelly, over cooked, and miniscule in size (a 3 year old would not have trouble becoming a member of the Clean Plate Club it was so small). Wanted to complain to the manager, but was to busy to see what the problem was.

I read other reviews and though that I was in for a good dining experience. This could have been an "off night" for the prep staff and manager, but to ignore you customers is surely a way to lose business because word of mouth can ruin you - just ask your neighbor who ran into problems running the Pasta House (just down the street).

Great restaurant for this area. We come every year and always reserve a night to eat at the Boundary House. It is a good alternative to fried fish toward the end of our vacation week. Much better than the local country club restaurants and a better atmosphere.
