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! ref: 10580

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.. ref: 10251

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! ref: 10250

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. ref: 10211

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. ref: 9891

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.

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). ref: 9692

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. ref: 9655

We ate at the boundry house twice while on vacation. The first time was an " in season". the food was very good and the house salad with the pralines and blue cheese was the best that we ever had. The appetiser portions were huge, promptly served and excelent. Dinner was great with very unusual mixtures of ingrediants. I think there were too few servers and service was ok. We went the following week with a large group of friends and everything was excelent. We will go back next summer on our vacation. Very good ref: 9430

We stopped in on Nov. 17 just for a snack. The service was excellent. However the oyster rockefellers were less than satisfactory. The cheese on there was good. It as difficult though to find the oyster and spinach. It was not good for the price we paid. The oyster rockefellers are much better @ Capt. Juel's. ref: 9272

The boundary House, was a great place to take you're family, the service is kind of slow, and there are many table's. The atmosphere is the prettiest thing- wood and all! Seating, does take a while but once you sit down you sink into the booth, or feel the smoothness of a chair. I have been a Restaurant inspector before, for thirteen year's, and i would grade it a 99 %- which is excellent, and way above average. If you enjoyed yourself, please go back- we want the boundary house to stay in business forever- don't we? Thank You, and also- please tip The Boundry House. The Boundary House is located behind Callahan's Of Calabash- turn left at the light, then left into the Boundary House- Give it a try, and exepirance the Boundary house, and what it has to give. Go their today. Great Price's, and a wonderful quantity of food! ref: 9075

I was there that night too and had a pretty decent meal, but as a witness to what had transpired, felt "Mahwah's" review was more than fair. Of course, I'm not as worldly as those who can use really cool phrasing, yet seems unsure to which state Scranton's in. Go a few miles down 17 to Myrtle Beach to visit the Carolina Road House, where they stole the entire layout from, less the courtesy. Scranton, being more north than Mahwah make me wonder if "stay up north" hints it's an employee response. My review reflects my personal dining experience that evening, but maybe I was lucky. ref: 8864

We had dinner at the Boundary House about a week ago. The food was excellent and it was served quick and hot. Our server was a little slow, but, she had too many tables to take care of at the time. She still tried her best to keep up with our requests for drinks/etc. While the food was definitely outstanding, we thought the menu was lacking. We are sure they are capable of making some great seafood dishes....but they are missing from the menu! The special for the night was Salmon prepared any way you wanted it. We thought that was a little boring....as the reason we are going out to eat is to try someone else's creations. Overall, we still felt this was a very good restaurant and we would go back. ref: 8798

My husband and I were with the couple from Mahwah, N.J. that had
the chicken salad and terrible SERVICE. Besides the lack of service
this what happened next( I have been in the waitress field for many years) After our waitress Dropped our check with not so much as a thank you and not even looking at us I was a little upset. We paid our bill and left it on the table. I guess she knew she was not getting a good tip because I wasn't half way to the door and she was calling out to me. She asked me if I was sure I didn't need change. I said no and took her to the side to tell her why she got the tip she got and started to walk away. At this point she yells to me you need this more then I do, I turned back to her and took the tip out of her hand and said your right and there is no law that says
we should tip for bad service. As far asking to speak to the Manager about any of this would have been pointless because
he never came over to us when there was problem with the food.
Guess If the Manager doesn't care, Why would the servers!

We have been going to the Boundary House since it opened. Reading the reviews in the last couple of months we were concerned. The ribs were excellent, the fried oysters divine. The ceasar salad left a little to be desired. The service from Mary was warm and personal. The design of this restaraunt is fantastic. My only negative comment was that all of the wait staff appeared too tired to be there (except ours) This is a change from the sharp as a tack, but warm atmosphere we had felt during their first seasons. ref: 8566

We visited this restaurant on vacation in Myrtle Beach. What a disappointment, and I will never go back again. No one was friendly, not even our waitress. I ordered the oriental chicken salad. The salad was a little brown and it was swimming in dressing. I let that go and started to eat it, I didn't tell them to put the dressing on the side. Everyone else enjoyed there meal. While eating the chicken I bit into something hard, I don't think they cleaned the chicken good. I told the waitress and she asked me if I wanted another one, I didn't of course. I saw the manager looking through my salad, I guess they didn't believe me. No one came over to the table to say I am sorry, not even the manager. I wasn't looking for a free meal, just for the manager to say something to us about our meal. I don't think we should have asked to see the manager, he should have come over on his own. They just ignored us.When the waitress came with the bill she just laid the bill on the table, she never even looked at us. Of course the salad was on the bill. ref: 8539

I cannot say enough about the service, food and atmosphere at the Boundary House. This is our second visit and will not be our last. I usually just read the reviews but this time I must write. Unfortunately I believe we sat near the people who wrote below. I witnessed the whole ordeal and I have to say some people are just never happy and do not want to be happy. I felt the server did a great job and I told him not to take the remarks personally. I was glad to read they would not be back as this is the kind of people that we in the service industry do not want back. If you cannot be happy on vacation then why take a vacation? ref: 7755

What a disappointment. My family and ate here for the first time this past weekend. I don't think we've ever received such poor treatment by a hostess, waiter, and manager alltogether. Everyone was cold, aloof, and not friendly at all. They didn't smile. The waiter was not very attentive and he gave us refills of unsweet tea instead of sweet tea twice. The au jus for our prime rib sandwiches was incredibly salty and so distasteful it was beyond edible. And frankly, the food was mediocre. I've had much better food for the same price at other restaurants. We won't be going back. ref: 7731

We happened upon the Bounday House on one of our annual trips to Sunset Beach. We thought it looked interesting and decided to give it a try. We were absolutely thrilled. The food was fantastic and the restaurant itself is unique. We went back for a second time that same week but this time with about 20 other people. The service was a bit slow but considering the number of guests in our group, it was perfectly acceptable. We are getting ready to take another trip to the beach and I have recommended it to everyone I know. We will definitely go back. Thanks for a great restaurant that is a nice change from the typical Calabach fare. ref: 7321

The Boundary House was recommended to us by a "local." My wife and I, along with our 15 and 12 yr old sons arrived Thursday/July 12 at approx. 5:15pm. We were immediately seated and were impressed with the atmosphere. Our waitress, Christy (?), was prompt with getting our drink order and then our salads served. She seemed very sweet, even flirted with our 12 yr old son, which made his night to hear a "beach babe" call him cute! The salads were large portioned with egg and bacon crumpled on top. It came with a buttered croissant that literally melted in your mouth. Christy was super at keeping our glasses full while we waited briefly for our entree. As the main course arrived and was served by an unknown male that didn't speak to anyone, Christy popped up and gave us all an "Enjoy your meal!" This is where things changed... I had ordered a 2 combo of crab cake and fried fantail shrimp, along with a sweet potato. The crab and fish were delish! But the sweet potato was cold. Not refrigerator cold, but certainly below room temperature. I fully enjoyed the rest of the meal, but had hoped to have found Christy in time to have the potato replaced. No such luck. Our Christy apparently can't multi-task very well. Once the surrounding tables began to fill, Christy left us. We sat waiting for refills for our drinks; we sat waiting for "So, how was your meal or, did you enjoy your meal?" Nothing; we just sat there. It all started off so well, and then it went south. Our table was cleaned before us by various workers as we waited for our tab. By now, I felt abandoned. I looked for a manager. I found him. He was quite consumed talking on his walkie-talkie and chewing out an employee. Christy then reappeared and left the check on the table without saying a word and then was off again. The bill was $74. (Three adult dinners & one kid's chicken fingers.) I left $84 cash on the table and waited another 10 minutes to ensure that Christy was the one that picked it up. I wanted 30 seconds to explain to her my complaint of the poor service after the initial great service and to report the sweet potato was cold. No chance, Christy snatched the bill/payment and was gone in a blink of an eye. I should have been more focused on her return and prepared to pounce, but after 10 minutes I became complacent. Regardless, we left without any acknowledgment from anyone. The review: Food was very good (except for sweet potato) ~ A; Service was all over the scale, A at first and then an F at the end ~ D. Atmosphere was very nice ~ A. Would we go again or recommend the restaurant? Yes, but there would not be a third visit, if the second ends like the first! ref: 6944

We ate here just after it opened in 2006 and this year we visited this restaurant twice on our last trip to N. Myrtle Beach. It was definitely our best meal all week except for our lunch at The Sea Captains House in Myrtle Beach which has the best service, food and atmosphere anywhere. Boundary House has great salads including the garden salad and salmon salad which is huge and very reasonably priced. They also have great gumbo. They even take reservations. Forget the Calabash places by the water unless you love grease.
Boundary House in highly recommended. ref: 6670

I stopped by after a long morning at work in a cold atmosphere and thought, Oh! the gumbo looks perfect. The gumbo appeared and tasted as though they had run out of the basic gumo and opened a huge can of diced tomatoes. The rice serving was skimpy - there may have been three shrimp and three tiny (think one quarter inch round of sausage quartered) pieces of sausage. I have eaten there twice before. one time was good, the second just okay; this one, below rating. ref: 6576

We enjoyed the Boundary House for an early dinner (4:45pm). My husband and I decided to each get something different to share. I got the shrimp quesadilla, which was wonderful. Very cheesy and spicy, just the way I like it. My husband got the shrimp and oyster po-boy, which was the best sandwich ever. Very fresh tasting and not too greasy even though the shrimp and oysters were fried. You get fries or slaw with all sandwiches, including the quesadilla! My daughter, who is a chicken tender connoisseur, opted for fish sticks and a baked potato. The fish sticks were great, fresh fish, not frozen tasting at all. We will definitely be back. Service and atmosphere made the experience enjoyable, as well. ref: 6567

My entire staff went out to have a dinner on our company and we all voted to go here because we had been there numerous other times with great food and service. this time we had a normal party of seven and we all got drinks and two people ordered steaks. both steaks were ordered medium to med-rare and neither steak even had a hint of pink in the center.This is very disappointing to our entire staff and probobly will choose another place where someone will at least apologise for their error when brought to their attention. ref: 6336

Compared to the world of typical calabash style, this was a very successful take with a light fry and twice as much taste. A very pleasant surprise. We will make certain that we make it a yearly tradition to eat there each time we are in town. We will also encourage our friends to make it a destination. Kudos. ref: 6333

I dined at The Boundary House on May 16 2007 and ordered your basic green salad with a grilled chicken breast on top. It took forever to get our food (2 people at our table) and the chicken breast was way overcooked. Thank goodness for the great house dressing that saved the meal. Our waitress hardly ever checked on us and took forever for her to bring our check. Not a great first impression. ref: 6038

We have now been back to The Boundary House three times in the past few months... and plan to go this weekend. It is worth our hours drive. The decor and atmosphere are awesome! I love the woodgrain interior. The restaurant is spacious and eye-pleasing. We have thoroughly enjoyed the food. My mother and I always split the double rack of ribs and their HUGE salad, which is well worth the price. We get "over twice" the ribs for the same price as another restaurant franchise with the initials R.T. :) On my last visit, I also had the creme brulee cheesecake for dessert... it was fantastic! My mom doesn't usually care for cheesecake, and she loved it. Although Calabash is best known for its seafood, I am not a seafood eater... so I am excited to have a place at the beach where I enjoy eating as well as experiencing the Calabash atmosphere! Thanks for opening! ref: 5970

Since discovering this restaurant in June, 2006, we have been back a number of times and have recommended it to others.
The food is excellent and there are some items on the menu that we've not found elsewhere. The service can be a little hit or miss depending on the server's experience.
As to the noise level, we have on a couple of visits been led to tables in or near the bar area and have requested that we be taken to the other side of the restaurant where it is much more quiet and conducive to conversation. ref: 5734

This is the only restaurant my husband and I have ever eaten where the waitress didn’t put in our complete order when we placed our order. We always order a couple of appetizers and an entree, after eating our appetizers another waiter took over and informed us that he had just put in the rest of our order. I was like what why would you just now be putting it in 45 min’s later and he said "I’m just the messenger"? We finally after a very long period of time got all our food but there are way too many wonderful places in Myrtle Beach to eat so we will not be back. The food was great, but only go if you have a lot time to kill. ref: 5280

The Boundary House is our favorite restaurant at the beach. There's something on the menu for everyone. Family favorites are the baked potato soup and their fresh fish selection. Desert menu is ok, we usually prefer to stop at Calabash Creamery instead. Service has been great and we've never had too long a wait. Of course we don't go at peak times. Prices are ok but expect to pay more than $100 for a family of 5. ref: 4662

We have been to Boundary House many times and each time our service, the food and atmosphere has been excellent. I recommend the Hurricane Chicken - Chicken breast with a creamy crab topping - oooh so good. My husband has gotten the ribs several times - very good. The house salad dressing is nothing I have tasted before (yummy) and those warm sweet butter croissants are melt in your mouth. The restaurant is in a great location in Calabash next to the St Nick store (make sure you stop by there after dinner) ref: 4518

Since my first trip to this establishment it has fallen considerably from what I expected. It would seem that as far as prime rib goes, no matter how you order it, it will only come one way. I had to send mine back twice and when it came the third time it was a completely different cut and still was not cooked to what I had asked for. The noise level was so loud I could not hear the wait person even though she was standing right next to me. I doubt that I will ever go back. It just wasn't worth it. ref: 4421

We were visiting a friend who lives in Supply, NC and had the good fortune of having lunch at your restaurant on 10/25. I enjoyed the pesto salmon and the potato soup. My friends ordered the salmon salad and combination seafood platter. The service was great and the food-likewise. Thank you so much. How do I go about giving a gift certificate to my friend to dine there again. ref: 4235

We dined on july 21,2006 and were told the wait was 1 hour. After a hour we were told there were 2 large parties ahead of us. We then saw at least 10 larger parties being seated so we criied foul and were seated right away. After this problem we had the very best waiter and the best of food. The prime rib was excellant and the seafood eccelled. Sure hope a new hostess is in place before we return in november. ref: 3857

Having heard good reviews on The Boundary House, my wife, two of our friends, and myself went for dinner. The food we all received was excellent. The waiter was obviously new at serving and repeatedly got our orders confused not only amongst our table, but with another table also. He also was gone for extended periods without refilling water glasses or checking to see if we needed anything else. Because of the quality of the food, we will probably try it again this fall. ref: 3767

We dined at The Boundary House twice while on vacation. Our group consisted of six people. I thought this restaurant was a nice change from all of the seafood places in Calabash. We arrived for dinner at 9pm both nights. Once on a Monday evening, the next on a Friday. We had to wait 15 minutes for our table on Friday. When I entered the restaurant I thought to myself how beautiful it was. It has wood floors, ceilings, and walls. Simple yet attractive. Our server both nights was a lovely young woman by the name of Ying. She was very attentive and quick to return. We each ordered something different and I believe we sampled each other's dishes. The salmon wontons and calamari were my favorite appetizers. I had a caesar salad while others had the house salad. Both were great. I ordered the filet the first night and the pesto salmon the next night. Both were delicious. I tasted my friends' beef ribs and they were good too! The croissants were melt-in-your-mouth good. We shared two bottles of Kendall-Jackson. Everyone in my group enjoyed it enough to eat there twice while on vacation. I have recommended it to several people that vacation at Sunset Beach. Overall I had a great experience. I will return here each year on my vacation! ref: 3548

We recently visited The Boundary House twice during the week of June 24. Both times the food was excellent; however, the first time we ate there we had most interesting (i.e. very disgusting) service. At the end of each course, our waitress scraped all of the leftovers onto one plate before clearing the table. We tried, indirectly, to tell her that her actions were unpleasant for us, but she just didn't seem to get it! After we said "ick", she said "if you want me to clear all of your plates at the same time, this is the only way I can do it". We thought maybe this was the restaurant procedure, but our waitress during our second visit was much more well trained--she cleared each plate without scraping our leftover food onto one plate. Although our first waitress was not the greatest, the food was excellent and we are glad we gave The Boundary House a second try. We will eat there again. ref: 3500

The food was very good but the service and waiting time made it a most unpleasant dining experiance. This was the most disorganized wait staff I have ever experienced. Silverware seemed to be in short supply as we were not the only table I saw who had a salad to arrive with no silverware and a waiter who vanished into thin air for long periods of time but if you watched you could see them on the far side of the restaurant chatting it up with fellow wait staff. You were out of luck if you needed a drink refilled. I might try a call ahead take out order in the future but won't waste an entire evening to eat there again. The place is very pretty for such a disapointment in dining . ref: 3191

I have eaten two times at the Boundary House. The first time I had excellent service, the second time not so great. The food has been great both times. The first time we ate there, the wait was 1 hr 10 minutes on a Friday night, but we went to Callahan's which made the wait feel like 5 minutes. The second time, we got seated right away. The only thing I would have to complain about is the noise level. It is very loud in there between conversation and the music they are playing. I am a Concierge at a local hotel and I send a lot guests to the Boundary House and get great reviews! ref: 2642

The Boundary House is probably one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at! We go there all of the time, and I have always ordered the same thing- potatoe soup with cheese and bacon. It is DELICIOUS! I have ordered the caesar sald, but it was not my favorite. The dressing was too watery. Their house salad is also AMAZING, and their rolls are some of the best! I always recommend this restaurant! ref: 2621

We are locals and decided to try the new Boundary house. Food and service was ok. When we got the bill my husband was charged for a refill on his hot tea. Another $1.75 . When we questioned the young lady who was the manager on duty, she informed us that was owner's policy. She told my that was a common practice around the area. I beg to differ. I was born and raised her and we eat out about 4 times a week at many different restaurants and have NEVER been charged for a refill of any kind of tea. We think the waiter should have informed of the additional charge or it should be printed on the menu. She would not remove the charge and we will never go there again. Shame on them !!!!!! ref: 2307

There were four of us that went to dinner on 2/4 with reservations at 7:30 pm. We were seated in a reasonable amount of time. It took almost 45 mins. to get our drinks and an appetizer. In an hour and 15 mins we had our salads and I canceled the second round of drinks. The salads when they came were good. I ordered prime rib rare and it came out like a plank. The other three meals were a chicken dish and two seafood entrees that were described as medicore by the eaters. After a discussion with the waitress and the manager about the prime rib he offered to sub a filet rare. It came semi-rare but I was tired of waiting and ate it. This place has a lot of growing up to do before it will be a great place to eat. We all(4) live in Ocean Isle and will not be back for a long, long time. ref: 1994

Since first impressions are usually lasting impressions, I would say The Boundary House is an excellent choice if you are looking for something other than the traditional "Calabash" seafood fare. I had the prime rib and it was a nice size portion and cooked to near perfection for my taste. The salad was outstanding. Dessert was dessert. We went early so seating was not a problem. The restaurant was immaculate as you would expect from a new establishment. The staff was very courteous and conscientious. Dinner here will probably cost you more than at other area restaurants but if you are tired of seafood, it is a great change of pace. ref: 1981
