"Absolutely love this gem! The service was great! There was a live band on this particular night. The staff were attentive and nice. The garlic crabs and crab balls are AMAZING! It was a blast playing darts on the upstairs level (has a bar and pool table also) while occasionally trying to devour a crab claw!! There's more but you get it!!"

"This place has had a number of names but is now under new management. We stopped late afternoon on a Sunday and were pleasantly surprised. The crowd was light, which was surprising as they had a special for an overflowing bucket of Oysters from N. Georgetown for $15. Bargain price and they were salty and delicious. We had some cocktails, and chicken Tenders bang bang shrimp and onion rings also. The huge deck out back protected us from the wind and has a great atmosphere. Will be back to try some more."

"Best Grouper in town! AND live music every night! Pawleys needed this! Stopped by to check out new ownership changes. Extremely pleasantly surprised! Great music, updated menu, clean, temperature pleasant with circulating air outside. Check out the grouper bites, salads and wings. Really good. Family friendly. And great service! Will be making this a regular stop with bands every day of the week! So glad we stopped by! Friendly like a CHEERS BAR!"

"Sitting under the oaks and Spanish moss on the deck eating a margarita pizza, drinking a beer and listening to a great band, we had a fun time. The food was delicious. Our waiter was on top of his service and everyone in the place was laughing, dancing and having a good time. This was an enjoyable evening."
