Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Pawleys Island

We never visit Pawleys Island without eating at the Hot Fish Club. The seafood platter is fantastic. Jamie, our waiter, did a great job, as usual.

A Hidden Gem for Steak Lovers! We recently had the pleasure of dining at 21 Main Prime, and we can confidently say it was one of the best dining experiences we've had! From the moment we walked in, the relaxed and quiet atmosphere made for a perfect evening. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the steaks—each bite was tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. If you're a fan of French onion soup, you absolutely must try theirs; it's worth every minute of the wait! Rich, hearty, and topped with gooey cheese, it was the perfect start to our meal. The restaurant boasts an impressive selection of bourbons and whiskeys, as well as a fantastic wine list that caters to any palate. Brian, our server, truly elevated our experience with his attentive and knowledgeable service. He was friendly, made great recommendations, and ensured we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Being off-season, the ambiance was particularly serene, allowing us to enjoy our meal without the usual hustle and bustle. If you’re in Myrtle Beach, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to 21 Main Prime.

The food was amazing. You are going to spend a tad more, but you are spending money for food you can’t get anywhere else. Our waiter Jesse was outstanding. Would highly suggest you request him.

The staff has always been great, and tonight was no different. We had the petite fillet, snow crab, lyonnaise, and brussel sprouts, and it was delicious. Steak perfectly cooked and very flavorful. If I had a criticism it would be the carts used to bring food to tables with limited space it was a constant watch to make sure you didn’t bump into them. NYP always performs and doesn’t disappoint.

Food was good however the hostess acted like it was a problem adding a 3rd person to our party. We also wanted a booth closest to the windows. It took her several minutes to gather the menus and by that time I had already headed towards the booth we wanted. It was 11 am and no one was there?!
