With so many restaurants to choose from along the Grand Strand, deciding where to eat can easily become overwhelming. That’s why we asked our viewers to rank their favorite spots to eat at the MarshWalk where great dining meets beautiful inlet views. If you are not familiar already, the MarshWalk offers several waterfront dining options that are connected by a half-mile boardwalk and features live music, local events and more. Located just south of Garden City Beach on Business 17, The Murrells Inlet MarshWalk has become a favorite for all.
Ranked #1 at the MarshWalk by our viewers, if you have not been to the Wicked Tuna you are certainly missing out. This restaurant focuses on a concept called “Hook to Plate” to serve locally caught, fresh seafood, that is prepped on-site before bring up to the kitchen for the chefs to serve to nightly crowds.

Drunken Jack’s is the place to go if you are looking for live entertainment and fun with family and friends. Click here to take a look at the food and drink menu. Stop by this restaurant for great drinks accompanied by great views. When you’re looking out to the inlet, one thing you may be shocked to see is a small island with only goats and peacocks. For over 20 years the owners of Drunken Jack’s have placed goats and more recently added peacocks on what’s known as “Goat Island”. This strange view does have a purpose, and it is to keep the underbrush on the island under control. But don’t worry, these animals are removed during Hurricanes and in the winter months.

Dead Dog Saloon is another perfect spot to hang out with friends and family and enjoy the views of the MarshWalk. This restaurant features three bars, large screen TVs, and live music. Great for those looking for an upbeat atmosphere for an after-dinner hangout spot featuring drinks and entertainment. Curious about who is playing? Click here for their Entertainment Calendar
Are burgers and sandwiches more your style? Check out Creek Ratz if you’re looking for finger food bites instead of a fancy dinner plate. Enjoy the breeze of the inlet on their outdoor patio while hanging out with family and friends.
Last but not least, if you are looking to eat out in Murrells Inlet, Hot Fish Club is located just south of the MarshWalk and has tied for the number one spot in recommended places to eat.
