    Crab dinner was amazing. Best one I had during my visit to Myrtle! Everything served with the meal was good. Service was A+! Our server was very nice, he explained the menu, and throughly went over the daily catches and mentioned the market prices. He was also very good at explaining what some of the fish tasted like. Some, we had never heard of, and it didn't throw him off his game for a second. We arrived around 5:30 and were seated right away. By the time we left there was a pretty big crowd waiting for tables. If I ever go back to MB, this will be the first place I stop for dinner!

    Found this restaurant more or less by accident. It's in a run-down looking strip mall in N. Myrtle Beach. DON'T let that turn you away! The food is GREAT and very reasonably priced. The entree is big enough for two to share comfortably. Their fresh Spring Rolls are fantastic - not fried, but the good glass-noodle and rice-paper wrap kind with an excellent peanut sauce. NOTE: it's THAI! They have mild dishes, but if you usually get "three flame hot" you may want to try the "medium" instead. I like hot/spicy and this was very good, but tended more to the hotter than the milder. If you order "Hot" - - well - be prepared. There were two couples and we all enjoyed what we had and were pleasantly surprised by the low total cost. If you like Thai, this family run restaurant is as good as any. Pfft to the atmosphere! I like good food!

    I wanted to give this place 5 stars but I cant. The service the night we went was horrible. It took 20 minutes to order, 20 minutes to bring the food, our toddler at our table didn't get his food any earlier and we were with empty drinks a majority of the time. I'm hoping it was an off night. That said, everyone loved their food. The hush puppies were the most traditional we've tasted in the area. Most of us had the tile fish, local to here, and the can style was actually better than the signature preparation, our table thought. The mahi-mahi dip they offer at first is ok. We would try this place again, to be sure the service issues were really a one time thing.

    I relied on local Yelpers to help me find a good place to eat while on vacation in Myrtle Beach and I was definitely not let down! They serve smoked fish dip and crackers when you sit down and it was pretty good. They should've brought more than one small serving for 5 people, but we each had a bite and it was good. My mom and I ordered two appetizers of oysters - steamed and Parmesan - and they were just ok. The oysters were pretty small. The Parmesan ones were a little less than ok. The cheese was hard as a rock and inedible, so it was just peeled off and the oysters eaten. For my entree, I had the seafood nachos appetizer. It was ginormous and delicious! I asked what kind of seafood was on it since it wasn't specified on the menu. Our server said that when they cut down the fish (Mahi, grouper, swordfish, etc) into certain size portions, the extra gets put to the side for nachos. There was also scallops and shrimp. It was big enough for 3 people. My mom had shrimp and grits and it was delicious! No complaints at all there. Stepdad had fried shrimp and scallops and they were delicious to. He gave me some scallops (yay for me!) because he was full and I removed the fried coating and just at the meat. It was sweet and tender and cooked perfectly. Prices were good, food was good, service was good - I'd definitely go back fink had the opportunity!

    When we arrived we were told it would be a 90 minute wait. Which mind you is long but we didn't mind since we all wanted to so shopping and browse the stores at Barefoot Landing. They had a unique pager/texting system to let you know your table was ready. They give you 5 minutes after the text to claim your table. Overall the food was good. The prices were not sky high. But the service was mediocre. The waiter was lost in the fish sauce? We never received the calamari we ordered? My oysters on the half shell were fresh. The kids shared a huge clam boil. They ate two dozen clams, corn and sausage. The boss and I both had the grouper. We both got it flame grilled, I got mine with mango chutney and she got the honey lime butter. The kids also liked the fish so that is saying something. I would go again. Just hope we have a different waiter.

    (3.5 stars) Barefoot Landing has a number of different dinner options but I figure, if I'm visiting Myrtle Beach, I'm gonna have me some fish or seafood. And this place was a solid choice for doing so. They have a variety of different fish to choose from and I went with the swordfish, cajun style with fresh herb cream sauce. The cajun preparation with the herb sauce made for a really awesome flavor combination, but the fish was definitely overcooked. Even through the strong flavors, I could still notice the fish being slightly too tough. Nevertheless, it was still an enjoyable piece of fish. It was served with green beans and rice which weren't great. The rice was okay but the green beans didn't taste fresh at all and they were super bland. And they had no added preparation, no seasoning or noticeable texture. With such a compelling piece of fish, I would expect equally interesting sides to go with it.

  • Sierra M.

    This place was top-notch. The complementary mahi mahi dip was so yummy we asked for seconds. I ordered crab legs which had the most delicious seasoning. Best crab legs I'd ever eaten. The shrimp was great. The sweet potato fry appetizer was so unique and flavorful. The sweet tea was perfect. Our server was fantastic and even the atmosphere was delightful. It place was very clean! We are here for a week and have already talked about going back a second time it was so great. 5-stars for Flying Fish market all around.

  • Connie L.

    Awesome happy hour! Was first greeted with smoked mahi mahi dip and crackers which was pretty good. Tasted heavily of mayo but loved the smoked flavor! Got the hush puppies with honey butter: SO GOOD! But I've never had bad hush puppies lol. The ribs: some parts were dry but for the most part good and bbq dipping sauce makes up for it! Oysters: they were clean and light Oyster shooter: it was alright Friend's margarita was definitely way watered down and couldn't taste the alcohol at all:/ so that was a downside But overall good happy hour deals! Got packed fast too so get there early!

    Very busy but easy to seat parties of 2. Patio seating in July is sweltering w only the occasional breeze. But inside was 45-90min wait time. So make reservations or be prepared to wait! Steamed outlets were tiny but clean and tasty. I had catch of the day rainbow trout, signature prep wc is cornbread dusted then sautéed w the cream herb sauce on d side. The trout was light and fresh and perfectly cooked. It didn't need any fancy sauces, just a pinch of salt and some fresh lemon. Hubby had fried shrimp snd clam strips. Waitress was honest and admitted they were both frozen. Shrimp was decent, but clam strips were dull and rubbery. They took 10% off our bill for that wc was decent of them. Gouda mashed potatoes were fabulous. Would return to try other menu items, but will stick to fresh catches for sure.

  • Jess I.

    Great happy hour! Sangria is good. Oysters are nice. Sushi is on happy hour, my husband gets that. Sangria red and white always three bucks only. Great fish specials! I like the cream sauce and it prepared signature. Gouda mashed as a side are fabulous. They give u a dip spread w crackers to start free. Ask to throw the fish! Watch out he throws a fake one at u when u throw the real one at him to scare u. Service is great! A bunch of locals and tourists mixed. Can get crowded. They have deck seating. We like it and stop by every yr we are here from NJ.

    I don't have a bad thing to say. Really great service, food was excellent and not overly stuffing. Everything tastes great, and not to mention it came out pretty quick. The atmosphere is really nice too! I got the mahi mahi, done Cajun style. Comes with green beans and rice. So good! Tender fish. The star of the night might even be the app, I got clam chowder, one of the best I've had. Price wise -- can't complain!

  • Ralph M.

    This is by far the best meal my family has had in a long time. The fish was fresh and delicious. We had the Amber Jack fish, a crab roll, and 2 kid meals. My son loved the fried shrimp and my daughter had Mac and cheese and even tried the fish and loved it. The waiter Bryan was excellent. The manager Beth was truly remarkable as she made sure everything was perfect. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is very nice. Make sure you come to Flying Fish when you are in Myrtle Beach.

  • Holli S.

    The food was good, pretty much what you'd expect in a tourist area. Definitely a step up from the buffets, and had a selection of non fried foods to choose from which isn't so easy to come by. We got there in time to have a couple of drinks at Happy Hour price, Really enjoyed the Illusive Traveler Grapefruit beer. The Hang Ten was to sweet for my taste, but the bartender was very nice about adding some sour mix. The shrimp and grits were good, and the fire roasted Tile fish was nicely cooked. We saved room for dessert, but there aren't any. Just as well, I guess you're supposed to walk around Barefoot Landing and get something sweet. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

  • Christopher N.

    Very good meal. I would stick to the fish, since it's their claim to fame and they do it well. Server was great and attentive. Texas tea was delish and $10 for a big goblet of it. I had "tile" fish. Now I never had Tile Fish before, so I can't compare it. Maybe it was just Mahi Mahi cooked with some more butter?? j/k but it was good. My only gripe is that the ceiling. for whatever reason I find myself looking up from time to time, and if you're seated in the top section up the stairs, don't look at the ceiling. It's pretty gross - dusty from the air vents that are never cleaned. Sagging tiles as well. yuck. advice to management, keep that thing clean!

    Found this place with Yelp, and decided to check it out while we're in Myrtle Beach. Upon entering, we were told that there would be a 10-15 minute wait so we headed to the bar to order some drinks first. I went with their signature fishbowl drink; the Hammerhead, while my friend got a malibu and pineapple. Immediately after we ordered the drinks, our table was ready. I was rather impressed by their speedy service. The Hammerhead is an excellent drink choice, it lasted me throughout the whole night. We started with the coconut shrimp and the crispy calamari, which arrived within 5 minutes of our order. The calamari was cooked the right way, which was good. The sweet chili sauce that came with it gave it a good flavor addition. In my opinion, the coconut on the coconut shrimp was a little too sweet, but when added with the mango dipping sauce it came with was great. The service was excellent, everything came within 5 minutes of each other and our server, despite being brand new, was very sweet and courteous. We then got fish from the catch of the day selection. You can choose how the fish is cooked and what kind of sauce you want on the side. My friend got the fire seared Mahi Mahi with Habanero-Chutney, and I went with the cajun style Wahoo with Mango Salsa. The fish was delicious, fresh and chewier than the Mahi, which had a nice soft texture to it. In my opinion the cajun seasoning on the fish was a bit overdone. They used Old Bay seasoning, which added to the flavor but also added to the sodium content. The outside layer of the fish was coated in seasoning, so I pried it off and ate the inside of the fish, which was delicious of course. Overall, a great market and bar atmosphere,I would definitely come by the next time I am in Myrtle Beach.

    Smoked mahi spread was very good for starters. Appetizers were shrimp salsa which we didn't care for. It was basically all salad dressing. Fish wasn't very good. Mine was dry and had no flavor. My husband and I thought it tasted like hospital food. If u are going to eat here better get it fried. . Not able to recommend this one.

  • Khalid B.

    Came here while on vacation with family. Must say we came here famished so we ordered a good bit of good. Initially they said we would have a 90-120 min wait, but only waited about 45 min. The people who worked there are nice, but I must say the service was not great. We ordered three things that never made it to our table, though everything else seemed to come on time. In terms of the food. It was very average to me, not good and not terrible. I ordered the jambalaya, which was OK. I am not used to a lot of liquid with my jambalaya, and this one did. Flavor was OK, but not great. We also got hush puppies, were good, as well as fish and chips (good) and a fried platter ,( very good). For the wait would have thought the food would be better but was enjoyable.

    Get the seafood boil. It's a must have. The corn potatoes and sausage are great as boil add on. The crab legs are A+. The shrimp too.

  • Heather L.

    Food bland and boring. Seafood boil had no seasoning, corn from frozen Salad brought out on a hot plate Gumbo watery and had no taste

    The valet attendant at our hotel recommended this place and we were quite pleased. They don't do reservations for party of 2's but on a Friday night, we were seated quickly. I loved the complimentary fish dip they have, it was smoked mahi mahi with cream cheese based. I wish they served it with some good crusty bread instead of the saltine crackers, but the dip was good. I ordered the green goddess salad, a lil spicy but only if u got a larger chunk of jalepeno. It comes with a lot of shrimp. I also got 2 clusters of snow crab legs and I ate the heck out of those crab legs! Highly seasoned and the extra sprinkle of old bay seasoning on the plate was perfect to use. Husband ordered the Parmesan and garlic baked oysters. The Parmesan was layered pretty thick so he needed up peeling the cheese off. And the fish and chips he got were awesome. The beer batter held up even with a good douse of vinegar, If u want some seafood, this would be a good start.

    Great place. Non-pretentious. Not overthought. Just straightforward seafood, beautifully cooked. They also had a beautiful 'fresh catch' counter so you could physically see the fish that they had in stock... a nice touch. There's a lot of kitschy and gimmicky 'all-you-can-eat-crab-legs' type spots in the surrounding area that make me question their quality. This isn't one of those places.

  • Eric S.

    Good fish selection and drink menu. Very clean and big. Service didn't take too long even though the place was packed. Told us it would be a 45 minute wait and it was only about 25 minutes which was good cause it gave us some time to explore the shops near the restaurant ( they send you a text when your table is ready.

  • Danielle T.

    Amazing food and waitstaff. The fish is all fresh and you can tell. The sushi, mahi mahi, coconut shrimp, salmon, and jambalaya are all amazing. Prices aren't too bad. The restaurant is located right on the river so ask to sit either upstairs or downstairs in the back for the best views. We did have a few issues that were all handed wonderfully by the staff. When we went to be seated they couldn't find a place to seat us despite the restaurant not being busy at all. They ended up just throwing us at a table that wouldn't work out. We requested to move and got a table with a view. For our trouble they gave us two complimentary appetizers. We chose coconut shrimp and hush puppies. Both were good. It was completely unnecessary for them to do this as it really wasn't a big deal. The second issue was that my grandma ordered a steak to be medium raw and it came medium well to well done. She told our waitress who got a new one out to her in about 7-10 minutes. The third issue is that she then charged us for two steaks instead of the one. This was quickly fixed. The waitress was a pleasure to work with as was the manager. The customer service is top notch!

    Scallops were way overcooked. Fried oysters and shrimp were bland as bland can be. Wife's fish was good, but again, their sauce was bland. Service was great. Seated right away.

    Just amazing. Service was awesome, aesthetics of the market, bar, and dining area were all very energetic and positive, crafts beers were delicious, the sushi was solid, and the crab legs were the best I've ever had. I had such a wonderful time and I will be returning the next time I am in the area.

  • Michael H.

    Crab cakes were a bit on the peppered side. Cole slaw was the best I've ever had in my life! Clam strips were very good, fish and chips were very good, hush puppies were beyond delicious! We ordered take out... told 15 min but was ready in 10. A little on the pricey side. But we drove back into our hotel on ocean Boulevard and the food was still nice and warm! Overall, worth the try....

    While this isn't quite the much-more-famous market in Seattle, it's about as close as you can get in the Myrtle Beach area (and in a restaurant to boot). They are situated nicely towards the back end of Barefoot Landing, just to the side of the Alabama Theater, and not far from the House of Blues. If you're on the other side of Barefoot, it is a bit of a hike (by foot), but it's still not far - and they may be one of the best options for dining if this is where you find yourself and your stomach is growling. The good news is that the place is big, so there is plenty of seating. The even better news is that they have happy hour specials throughout the bar area, which actually encompasses most of the downstairs. You don't really get a view of the waterway, but you can see it easily enough - and you can typically be seated faster rather than waiting, so you need to decide which is more important to you. Staff is typically eager to please, which is a bonus at touristy-places like this, and food works well, if not spectacularly. Maybe the absolutely best part, however, is being able to toss a fish yourself. That's right, ask nicely and they will set you up with a fish that you can toss over the counter to a partner fish monger on the other side of the counter. Awesome.

    Just arrived and we feel at home. Happy Hour 4-8....great prices and great food...will update if possible when happy hour is over...lol OK so after three oyster shooters 3 bucks each, two brown nut beers on draft 2.75 each, fried calamari 6 bucks, 6 oysters on the half shell 6 dollars, I can honestly say....I have found my new local hang out.. My wife had California roll 5 dollars, rib pile 5 dollars, and two red ale drafts 2.75 each. Both very good apps. We also split hush puppies that come with a type of brown sugar butter....awesome. We walked out spending 62 bucks that included a ten dollar tip. In my opinion 47 dollars for food and drinks, 5 dollars to Uncle Sam not bad for everything we ate. Great place, very fresh and super staff!!!

    I should have known better. Why oh why! I did know better and still did it! What you ask? I went into one of those tourists trap seafood restaurants in one of those God forsaken tourist trap shopping resorts! Yes this place scores well in the amount of reviews it has received, but my theory on that is its reviewed by tourists! It's inside the Barefoot Landing Center which right when I saw it I should've driven right into the intercoastal waterway! I didn't, and I payed for it. I tried the Caesar salad which was average at best with the dressing still in a cup! Next, the fried flounder sandwich. The fish was fresh, but absolutely bland to the core. It's topped with BLT and American cheese. American cheese? Yes, like eating a hamburger but instead fish. Blah! The clam chowder was a large bowl that was maybe filled a 1/4" deep. The Mahi tacos actually were good and tasty, but even those were served with a boxed rice that left you wondering, aren't you supposed to be a slightly above standard seafood joint? Skip the kids meal BTW, as the Mac n Cheese was Kraft right out of the box! And to charge $5 with no drink for the kids meal? Anyway, keep fooling the gullible tourists while you can, as you'll be the next large building standing empty on the Grand Strand! Definitely this is a catch and release seafood joint as it's definitely spoiled and lacking any creativity that's not written on a box!

    This review is for their non-fish items. I'm a seafood lover, not necessarily fish lover, so I got the soft shell crab and fried oysters. The soft shell crab was good but that's a hard dish to mess up. Everything else was terrible. The oysters tasted like battered salty goo and the fries were soggy and sad looking. There first mistake was cutting them into boring thick rectangles. How does one mess up fries??! My non seafood eating friends got chicken salad and burgers which the said were mediocre and overpriced. I usually wouldn't mind paying a lot for seafood but this was just not worth it. My friends who are fish said it was pretty. But still... Not worth the price.

  • Brad B.

    Good, if a little pricy. Fish selections are not on the menu, but listed at the market and the waiter. I did get to try shark for the first time. It was good, but the cajun seasoning was a little overwhelming. I would probably go for something a little more subtle next time. It was not that it was too hot, I rather liked it, but more that it was all that I could taste. My girlfriend liked they shrimp and grits, a little bit different take that some of the more traditional styles. For appetizers, the complementary smoked mahi-mahi is good. The hush puppies were good, came with a really tasty cinnamon butter. All in all, would definitely go back.

    Arrived at 6 pm, only a 30 minute wait. Restaurant is.quite large with three floors. The free Mahi Mahi spread with crackers is a nice, tasty treat. Fried pickles appetizer is good. I had the peach white sangria, very refreshing. Fish and chips and the Low Country Boil were good, although I did not like the sliced pecan sausages in the Boil. Corn on cob is tender. Great service.

    Seafood was freshest I've ever had!! We had to wait to be seated for 30 minutes but once we were seated service was impeccable!!! Chad, our waiter, was right on the money with service, smiles, and professionalism! Sushi was incredible!!! Mmmmm!

  • Carlos O.

    I really really like this style of place. Large, well decorated, great vibe and all the choices of seafood fare you could want. Menu is simply and straight forward. We started with the Oysters on the half shell. They were perfect and well prepared. I got the Wahoo with the habanero-orange topping. It was spot on and very well cooked. My wife had the grouper and it was well prepared and tasted great. Even the sides were great. I had the corn on the cob and cole slaw; both were great. The staff was excellent and very friendly. They have a huge bar and a huge raw bar with all the seafood on display (cool for the kids). Great view on the water (Bare Foot Landing). Good local beer selections and in a great location with lots of shops around and the House of Blues next door. Definitely worth a visit.

  • Jessica M.

    Mahi dip delicious! Calamari app was amazing, this delight came with a sweet chilli sauce which is a wonderful surprise. Cajun Asian wrap....it was good pairing of the sweet and blackened salmon. Also ordered ahi tuna tacos....wasabi sauce was powerful but a good match, added sour cream to even flavors. Great food. Josiah was very attentive & polite. Left off one star for not serving sushi at lunch time. Its the off season so I understand.

  • Mike L.

    Great place is a good way to summarize our experience here. Excellent service, excellent food, excellent atmosphere and a long wait should be expected at a place this fantastic. They use iPads to check you in and send you a text when your table is ready. This allows you to experience other shops located around the restaurant and would recommend anyone to visit a shop called Innovations which carries local arts and crafts ran by a wonderful woman. I had Tile Fish and it was DELICIOUS! My wife had the lowcountry crab cakes and said some of the best she have ever ate. Kids ate, well stuff kids eat. A cheeseburger and Mac and cheese lol. Portions were huge and more than we could eat. Probably a 8oz fish and she had 3 large crab cakes. Oh and ask about the flying fish at the seafood counter.

    The Flying Fish is hands down one of the best places to eat in North Myrtle Beach! The seafood nachos were amazing to start out with. I had the scallops and popcorn shrimp that were excellent.The service was amazing also to top it off. Five star restaurant all around!!!

  • Beth C.

    We visited on March 30, 2015. Everything was as advertised. Good food, good portions, nice atmosphere. When we left around 6PM it was starting to get noisy because we were around back behind the bar. We shared a 3 item combo which was just right after the smoked fish dip, which my companion loved and ordered a second one. We ended up having the 2nd one packed up for the trip home. They have tables near the Intracoastal Waterway but because my companion is in a wheelchair, our seating is limited to behind the bar.

  • Andrew J.

    Excellent! I had the 1.25 pounds of snow crab legs and they were the best I have ever had. Very large portion with plenty of meat. One of our party got the salmon which was also very well seasoned and fresh. Another got the whitefish sandwich and was not a huge fan and claimed the breading on the fish was soggy. That person is not necessarily a huge seafood aficionado though so could certainly be personal preference. Everyone was very polite and our waitress was fantastic and attentive the whole meal and made very honest, helpful recommendations. A must stop on your trip to Myrtle Beach!

    We were craving seafood and this place delivered! We went early and were seated right away at a table overlooking the ICW. Big place with a cool upscale industrial vibe. Service was very good - waitress was cordial and efficient and accommodating to changes we asked for. We started with hush puppies and calamari, both solid. The smoked trout dip that each table gets is awesome, btw. For entrees we had a couple of the fish of the day options, with toppings such as mango salsa. Great flavor, well prepared. We also tried the clam chowder, which was rich with clams and bacon (score!) The kids meals are very generous, and essentially adult size. Don't miss out on throwing a fish, great fun and good photo-op! Overall this is a great option in the NMB area!

    Everything about this place is incredible! From the amazing brown sugar honey butter served with the hush puppies, to the amazing cocktail menu to simply the view alone, this place is easily our favorite in the area! It is well worth the wait!

    ***Disclaimer. I am giving this establishment 4 stars because it is good for what it is. I am not doing 5 stars because I was disappointed. Why disappointed? Because people talked up this location and I thought it was going to be some incredible, fresh food, local, independent place. It is very commercial. 1. As soon as you walk in you see this giant sign with "fresh catch of the day". SILLY ME. I thought this was literal. OH NO- it is just decoration. The dumbest decoration that I have EVER SEEN at a place that is claiming to be a seafood market. 2. We decided to eat at the bar to take advantage of the happy hour specials. MY GOODNESS...I was seriously tipsy (borderline drunk) after one drink (yes, a long island iced tea for $4). 3. The calamari was okay. Not bad, not amazing. Lightly breaded. The sweet potato fries felt more like a gimmick- "look! we have sweet potato fries! with blue cheese!". We both ordered grouper with Cajun seasoning. The fish was tasty. I had a long talk about local fish. There was NOTHING local. Local meant north Atlantic. 4. Ambiance- this is in a strip mall. It feels like a fancy Red Lobster. I wouldn't go back again. I honestly don't know if there are better options though. MB is really lacking a food scene.

    Great seafood is offered here but it comes at a moderate price- generally market price fish is $16-24. Wait time can be longer depending on the time of day. The service was prompt but the bathrooms were in need of attention. The market fish tasted awesome. The rice was average but overall the seafood made it worthwhile.

    Our family comes here all the time. We love getting fresh crab legs or nice big oysters. The salmon is really good but u usually have to wait a little while for food and if u don't have a reservation u won't usually make it in until late.

    Good overall place. Good service and good food. We went for lunch and for oyster shooter. No one else has oyster shooter around this area. It was good and only $3.95. We will be back for that. My lunch was seafood platter and my boyfriend had mahi mahi taco. Nicely done but not wow.

    Loved: fish dip with crackers, hush puppies. Dislikes: fish sandwich but only because the American cheese is crap!

    Love the seafood nachos,sounds odd but could not stop eating them. Seared shrimp,seared fish with this amazing cheese sauce and crunchy chips. The salmon wrap had a peanut glaze that didn't appeal to me personally. The tuna tacos were a little bland. But the service was great, the view over intercostal waterway was beautiful and those nachos...just get the nachos!!

    Food and service was very good. The only complaint I would have would be the noise level inside. I would list that as above average level.

    Food, ambience, wine were all good. They have an inexpensive kids menu (thank goodness - Nothing worse than having to pay $19 for your 5 year old's meal) and a quality menu all around- grilled, fried, boiled, blackened, panko-crusted, seared, raw - it's all there! Our waiter was a bit anxious and flustered from the first minute we sat down but nothing that affected our evening..... And the fish market guy was awesome as we were leaving because he let my boys hold the fish for a pic (I wish I could remember his name - he was great and made it memorable for my kids) Would definitely return!

    The food was great. I had the tile fish and it was fresh and delicious. The complimentary appetizer mahi mahi dip was very different and delicious. The service was outstanding as well. Definitely recommend this place and I know I will return on my next visit to myrtle beach.

    We have come here for at least 6 years the last two it has really gone down hill. Still pull a big crowd but I think it has gone to their head. Food is not as good as it used to be. Lower quality and salty. Price is almost double what it was 4 years ago. They used to have a boil that was awesome with all kinds of shell fish, including crab legs, all for under $30. Now it is subpar and you can't get the most basic boil, no crab, for under $30.

    This is a late review. We went to Myrtle Beach for a family vacation in August. We were looking for a good seafood restaurant before we went back home. This place was worth the search! Atmosphere was great service as well. We started with the tuna tartare and it was fresh and delicious. I got a signature fish cook dinner which also was cooked perfect. Next time we are in Myrtle Beach this will definitely be a place we stop at.

    Nice place. Friendly staff. Really good food. Get on the waiting list and head for the bar area. Tables in the bar area first come first serve. We were able to seat ourselves there within 10 minutes of getting there. Just tell the hostess up front you found a seat in the bar area.

  • Jennifer H.

    Flying Fish has an amazing happy hour with food and drink specials, but this time, I was here for lunch. I had a dozen oysters for, I believe about $12. Even if it's not happy hour, a dozen oysters for $12 is a great deal. They were a bit small, but I find that pretty standard around MB. When I did have happy hour, I really loved the sushi and sweet potato fries, but I didn't see the sweet potato fries on the current happy hour menu. Perhaps its a seasonal thing.

    This place is good. I had Cajun Swordfish and my wife had the fish sandwich for lunch. Great service! We both said we would go back.

  • Nicole F.

    Came here as a tourist and expected a wait. We had a group of 5 adults and 2 kids and the wait was going to be over an hour. So I put in our name and they said we could walk around the shops and return in 45 minutes. That worked well to keep us all occupied, especially the kids. When we returned it was only about 15 minutes and our table was ready. We were seated and there was a nice cracker and fish dip waiting for us at the table. Kind of the fish market equivalent to chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant I guess. We all enjoyed it! The waitress had great recommendations for the fish of the day, which the hubs ordered and LOVED. Have you had Tilefish before? Have it. So good! I had sushi rolls and a salad. The rest of the group really enjoyed their meals. Perfect options for all ages. We rounded it off with dessert (red velvet!) and were sufficiently stuffed. The price was what you'd expect for the area and the quality/freshness of the food. Give it a shot and just be prepared for a wait. There's plenty to do in the area.

  • Bob R.

    My rating is a bit misleading. I'm not a fan of seafood, but everybody I was with was. So I'm not exactly a fan, but if I have to eat at a seafood restaurant, this was an excellent choice. All the seafood fans in our party loved their entrees and the two land-lubbers in the group were able to find very good entrees that did not taste fishy at all. The service was great and the atmosphere was fun and just a bit loud. The only concern we had was that our table was right next to the door to outdoor seating, so it occasionally got warm and humid as people came in and went out.

  • Doug L.

    Found the Friday afternoon happy hour service & food (appetizers and meal) to be both attentive, of quality and overall enjoyable. Good value for the money. I'll return on my next pass through the area.

  • Brent A.

    Stopped here on way into town on vacation. Softshell Crab BLT was pretty good. Wife had shrimp & grits which were also pretty good. Shrimp ceasar salad was also good. As another reviewer said this place is a solid restaurant with good, quality food. Nice views. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again, just because I'd want to try somewhere new.

  • Steven K.

    Great variety of fresh fish. Good service. Very good clam chowder! Go early as you might have a 2 hour wait on a weeknight. But there is a reason, as the fish is well prepared. Try the tile fish. One of my favorites!

  • Bill B.

    Outfrig'nstanding! Great service, price, and food that is throw your panties on the stage awesome!!! The sweet potato fry appetizer is culinary celebration. Potato is fried perfectly and crumbled blue cheese, purple onion, tomato and possible Pixie Dust make it a DO NOT miss! Crab cake sandwich was fat with crab and HUGE! Nice lump crab and drizzled sauce on a pretzel type crust bun. Another win! The chicken soft tacos were moist and plentiful. I was already at maximum density but they had key lime pie and I flexed my diaphragm enough to brave that as well. Fantastic and like everything else, presentation was perfect. Served on a huge square plate with a sweet colorful sauce pattern over the whole masterpiece! Overall the place is a big win for me!

  • Mikaela L.

    Found this place on Yelp and decided to check it out. The food was fresh and service was phenomenal! We got the steam pot (crab legs, clams and muscles), everything was really fresh and yummy. The jambalaya was really good as well. Their oysters on the half shell (forgot the name but the ones from Maine were sooo good). Will definitely come back when we're in Myrtle Beach again.

  • Aaron S.

    For myrtle beach, this place is solid. The only catch is that it's crazy popular and you need to come early or be prepared for a 1+ hr wait. We stopped by for a late lunch around 430 on a Friday and it was perfect. Got a table right away and you can still get the HH drink specials from the table. The HH apps need to be from the bar, but there wasn't much on the app menu we wanted. My dad got the trout special which had 2 big pieces. I had the crab cakes, which were ok. Lots of fried stuff here so be careful. Outdoor seating is beautiful and recommended. This place is affiliated with Pearlz, a great oyster bar in charleston (I am currently Duke there), but the special (Scorton Creek) oysters were poor. Overall, since we didn't have to wait and good portions, 4 stars.

  • Christopher C.

    My family and I have been coming here since it opened a few years ago. It is one of our favorite places to eat on the Grand Strand. The atmosphere is great,the food is excellent, and the prices are reasonable for the area. My only complaint is that I would like to see a few more food preparation selections on the menu. I like fried oysters, and grilled flounder. However, combination platters are all fried, and to get grilled flounder would be a whole separate plate. i would like to be able to mix and match how I have my seafood prepared, fried, broiled, grilled, etc. I highly recommend this restaurant to my friends when they come to Myrtle Beach, and we consider this one of our must eat at places.

  • Nel P.

    First--they wont seat you until the whole party is present. The place has a very nice feel to it. Lot's of selection on the menu but the prices are a little on the pricey side especially with the portions that you're getting. I got the Shrimp and Grits and it was really tasty...highly recommend it. My wife got the fresh catch of the day special, which was a grouper. She loved it as well. My daughter got the country boil with the 1/2 lb shrimp, it was just OK...nothing really special about it. The other daughter got the blue crab sandwich which she enjoyed. Overall a nice place to go when you're in the mood for seafood.

  • Dana M.

    The atmosphere was good, but it had a chain feel. We were looking for a local seafood place on the water and landed here. The fish was fresh and the portions were large but there was just something a little too "canned" about the experience. Someone else on Yelp raved about the shrimp and grits so I ordered that. It was terrible!!!! I don't know how anyone could say that it was good. No flavor at all and prepared with what seemed like a gummy cream sauce from a jar. Barely any grits. It was like shrimp Alfredo soup. My son ordered a low country boil and loved it. The shrimp were great but the clams and mussels were tiny and over cooked. My other son had the salmon and it was ok. My husband had the grouper and it was very good. Not a bad place, but I don't think it will knock anyone's socks off either...

    You get what you pay for GREAT! fresh seafood. Not a tourist trap nice local dinning spot. We stopped in after seeing it from our hall way window of our resort in North Beach SC. We could have eaten here for lunch and dinner easy. Leave out the back way and take a nice walk up the water way to a nice little outside mall with a lion exhibit.

    Our waitress Savannah was very nice and helped us right away after we were seated. They gave us a dip when we first got there, it was delicious! I got the snow crab dinner and my fiance got the fried clam strips and fried shrimp. The crab was cooked perfectly andwas very good! I tried a clam strip and it was also very good! He said the shrimp was good too but the ratio of clam strips to shrimp was off, a lot more clam strips. It was a bit pricey but it was a good dinner! Had a view of the marina,very pretty! Would go back again!

  • Joe S.

    Nice place. Their take on the southern staple shrimp and grits was quite unique and very tasty. Highly recommend! Also had soft shell crab dinner. I did not realize it was batter dipped my fault I suppose, but I always assume soft shell crabs were lightly floured and then fried. I did not particularly like the heavy batter.

    Came here for the first time with my 27 yr old daughter during happy hour. Drinks start at $2 and food $3. Sushi was fresh and yummy and only $5 for eight. Aaron our waiter was spot on and very helpful with menu selections. He was also very conscious and alert to my shellfish allergy, and made sure nothing I had came in contact with anything. He is a rare breed. ;) we also walked over to the sushi guy to tell him ours was awesome and everyone from the front gals to the sushi guys were amazing. Very funny and personable. Great workers makes this place fun.

    The atmosphere was a solid 4 star, very good. But I went for great seafood and it fell short. I'd even say below average. Service was very good, but food was my primary interest. I tasted off all 5 of my family's dishes, and average at best was the theme. Go somewhere else.

    I would give 4.5 stars , just don't know how to do so. That being said, I am a big advocate of this place. My fiancé and I come here every time we come to Myrtle Beach. The seafood nachos are delightful, the fish and chips are awesome, and the happy hour is insane. Definitely recommended this place to anyone looking for a good seafood meal or just trying to find a great happy hour.

  • Tara C.

    I came here for lunch on a Sunday with my husband and our friend while we were in Myrtle Beach for the weekend. Our server was very friendly and the food was really good. We shared the seafood nachos, which we all loved but couldn't finish because the portion size was huge! And we all ordered tacos for our entree, both the mahi mahi and the ahi tuna. The tacos were tasty as well. Both the seafood nachos and the tacos came with these absolutely delicious thick and crispy fried chips. I could have eaten a plate of them by themselves for my meal and been satisfied. However, the best part of our meal was the complimentary smoked fish dip; I wish I would have bought some to take back home--it was that good. If I had to complain about anything it would be the drinks; all of the cocktails we had were weak and watered down. However, I would revisit Flying Fish if I were to go back to the area--I'd just order a beer with my meal and make sure to take home some of that smoked fish dip :).

    Through a strange turn of events, we ate at Flying Fish three times in two days. We had two excellent lunches at surprisingly low prices and a wonderful dinner. Their fish is high quality, fresh.. We loved the rainbow trout, tilefish, and salmon.. They even make a good New York strip. On top of the food, the service was fast and very attentive. By all means, make sure to go to FF!

  • MaryAnn T.

    The food was delicious and the view was great. The fresh catch of the day is extensive and you can pick how you want your fish fixed. They have a good variety of food on their menu too. The calamari was the only thing we didn't enjoy (we ate their twice while on vacation), it wasn't crispy or hot. They send you a text message when your table is ready, so you can walk around the fun shopping center while you wait.

  • Tyler W.

    This was my favorite restaurant experience at Myrtle Beach. Maybe because I was desperate for a seafood redemption after the Duffy's flop we experienced, maybe because I was sunburned and sweaty and there was some rockin AC, but maybe because it was just really a great place for a good meal. The restaurant was packed--we waited for what felt like FOREVER but was actually just under an hour. Luckily there was the aforementioned AC to keep me happy along with plenty of seating in the lobby. While we were being taken to our table, the hostess explained the "market" part of the restaurant and pointed out the sushi and oyster bar. When we were seated, we were served some tasty smoked mahi dip, which was a welcome change from bread. We chowed it, along with an order of calamari (really fresh but slightly under-seasoned, definitely relied a lot on the very yummy chili sauce) and hush puppies (a little over cooked, greasy, crunchy for me but the rest of the family gobbled them up). Our waitress was accommodating and super-nice and didn't judge us for literally inhaling our appetizers. I ordered shrimp and grits, my parents each ordered a fries seafood basket with a combination of flounder, shrimp, and scallops, and my sister had chicken tenders. The fried food was pretty standard fare...like the calamari, very fresh seafood and not overly breaded, but lacking a bit in the seasoning department. That being said, it was all eaten without complaint. The tenders were good too. As far as chicken tenders go, I'd put them just above average. But OH MY GOD THE SHRIMP AND GRITS. I'd never had anything like it. The shrimp were perfectly seasoned, the cherry tomatoes were fresh and plump, the grits were cheesy and sticky and all that is good, and I could literally have bathed in the cream sauce because I loved it so. I'm going to dream of those shrimp and grits and cry because I'll never eat such a thing in Colorado. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, PEOPLE. Bottom line: some dishes better than others, but nothing sucked and none was left behind. The ambiance and service were perfect for family vacationers like us, and we left stuffed and happy. Just come expecting a wait, so don't be starving when you arrive.

    We loved loved the boil! The shrimp and mussels were awesome. I also got an order if hush puppies. The cinnamon butter is so good. I can't find hush puppies in CA so I always get my fix here. This is my second trip to myrtle beach and I've come here both times. Great service. We sat at the bar because there was no waiting. I will definitely come back the next time we are in town.

    Wow what a find, appears to be a popular place with having a 30 minute wait once my wife and I got there. Seated upstairs and had a wonderful view of the marina behind the restaurant. The food was outstanding, starters the maui-maui with crackers was delicious (free starter) we went ahead and got fried cucumbers that as well was delicious. Seafood platter and ribeye both were delicious. I mean even the sweet tea was great .. The entire experience was great and will surely come back when we are in town.

    Our favorite fish place in Myrtle Beach. Great atmosphere overseeing the river at Barefoot Landing. Fresh fish everyday prepared in several ways to fit your tastes. The sushi and rolls are the freshest we've had at Myrtle Beach and prepared with tons of spices and flavor (try the spicy tuna roll). I love the hushpuppies and my wife loves the fried pickles as appetizers. Great date night, but I'd leave the kids at home.

  • Francesca E.

    The reviews are absolutely correct! The food is just fantastic! Our party of six ordered three apps. We started with the seafood nachos, buffalo shrimp, and the basket of hush puppies. The nachos were topped with tiny shrimp, grilled fish, and all the normal fixins that come on nachos. Very flavorful. Could have used more cheese, but not a major issue for me. The buffalo shrimp was super yummy and did NOT taste heavily fried. And finally the hush puppies were great with the cinnamon butter that came with it. For our dinner, I shared the Flying Fish Specialty. And when they say its enough for 2, it could easily feed 3. The crab legs, jumbo shrimp, the mussels and the little neck clams might have been the best I've ever had. There was no way my boyfriend and I could finish it! The only reason we have it 4 out 5 was that the initial interaction with the hostesses was very underwhelming. They seemed inconvenienced that our party had not arrived and were a little too happy to inform us we'd have to wait for them to arrive before being seated. Another small issue was that our waitress seemed to disappear midmeal. We did have a a manager check on us but we never saw him again either. This will definitely be a place we return to the next time we head down Myrtle Beach.

  • Kim B.

    The service was impeccable and all food was delicious. I had the shrimp and grits and the hubby had jambalaya and both were cooked perfectly. Happy hour drink specials each day and a drink of the week all priced well. I took one star away because the restaurant was extremely cold. We will definitely come back again on our next trip.

  • Riskey L.

    This was our first time here and I was very impressed! Food and service were both excellent. The kids loved watching boats and wave runners go by on the water. We got hush puppies as an appetizer and the butter they serve with it is simply too good to be true! My wife and I split the seafood feast that's recommended for two people. The crab legs were downright perfect. So easy to crack open and get the meat out and they tasted soooo good. The clams and shrimp were good too. I'm not a big seafood fan, but the mussels were amazingly good. My son even liked them and he usually goes nowhere near seafood. I also had to keep him from stealing our crab legs! For any craft brew lovers, I would recommend their nut brown ale. One of the best I have ever tasted and it was only $2.50 a draft! Sweet beer at a sweet price! Our waitress was great! Super friendly and always there whenever we needed a refill or plates cleared. Definitely will be coming back next year.

  • Linda M.

    Excellent food! Smoked fish and crackers complimentary appetizer is really good. Next course from happy hour menu was a rib stack (1/2 slab of ribs cut in pieces $7) and a basket of hush puppies ($3.50) paired with local beers ($2.50). Next, hubby and I split a fried seafood platter of shrimp, scallops, and flounder ($21.95). Flounder was not great (a little fishy tasting), shrimp were wonderful, but the standout here was the huge scallops -some of the sweetest and most succulent we have ever had! Comes with good coleslaw, three hush puppies and enough French fries to feed my entire family! Will definitely return and order just the scallops on this plate! Waiter, James, was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Our table mates had calamari appetizer, followed by grilled mahi, rice, and vegetables. They said everything was really good.

  • Larry G.

    While vacationing in Myrtle Beach, I needed some great seafood so I chose to come here even though it's located in a relatively touristy area. We arrived just at the start of happy hour (4pm) and ordered the hushpuppies, calamari, classic chicken sandwich, and the jambalaya. Everything was great and at half price for drinks and apps, you couldn't beat the price. I couldn't eat the hushpuppies and butter quickly enough and the jambalaya was packed with flavor from the sausage and shrimp. Overall I would highly recommend and look forward to returning if I am in the area again.

    This place was our last stop on our vacation after having several bad experiences for the most part . I must say the food was really good and our view was amazing.

    We went for lunch around noon on Sunday and were happy to be seated right away on the second floor with a very nice view of the water. The smoked mahi mahi dip that came out first was good. We also ordered grilled swordfish and shrimp and grits that were very good. The server was friendly and attentive and the prices are what you would expect to pay in the area. It can be a challenge to find a good meal in Myrtle Beach. This is a place we would return to on our next trip.

    Came on a crowded Wednesday evening, two of us were seated in about ten minutes. Waitress was very friendly but it took about another ten minutes to get drinks. Appetizer came out after another ten minutes. Finally after 45 minutes we received our order-- this would have been a 4 star review otherwise. Menu is limited and food was just okay albeit somewhat expensive, wouldn't recommend to friends.

  • Richard J.

    A little touristy but delicious nonetheless. Be careful it's really easy to fill up on crackers and Mahi Mahi spread. Waitstaff is usually pretty busy but they come by often. I ordered the swordfish and was cooked perfectly to the point of being flaky but not dry. The orange chutney was tasty with a little kick to it. I wish they had one of these by my house.

  • Chris R.

    What a treat our dinner at Flying Fish was! I was a bit concerned that this place would prove to be too "touristy." ( Although I am a visitor from up North, I really prefer a quality "local" meal than a meal catering to tourists). I am sure, because of its location, that this place must get packed, but since we were here at the tail end of summer, our large party of 10 was seated immediately. The menu offers some standard seafood fare, but where it seems to excel is with the daily fresh catch menu, including a choice of how it is prepared. Tonight's list included salmon, grouper, tilefish, mahi mahi, and a few others I can't even recall. I opted for the mahi, sautéed in cornmeal, with honey-lime butter. Delicious, tender, well-prepared! My sis ordered tilefish, which the waiter described as tasting like shellfish; my sister said the waiter was right on target, and also was very happy. Since I didn't care for one of the sides offered with my meal, our server gladly swapped it out for another. He did the same for many in our party. I chose the sweet potato fries (yum), and my husband and sis chose the Gouda mashed potatoes (double yum). Overall, this was a great dining experience, with great food, a fantastic waiter (Robert), and a relaxed atmosphere. I will return for sure! Oh, if you are lucky enough to see that blackberry lemonade is the drink of the week...order it! So refreshing.

    Went there for the Boil Pot and ended up loving everything. Very friendly wait staff. Food was awesome and they offer a very nice selection for GF menu. Only downside is they served the entrees before we had finished our appetizers so was a little cool by the time we got to eat them. Drinks were yumpcious.

    His place was the best! Sat us quickly even though we were 9 people and loved the look of the resturant. Wait staff and managers walking around were super friendly and helpful. Chris and CC came and spoke with us and we had some good laughs with he,. Very friendly. The food was terrific! Omg the crab legs were huge, meaty, and sweet! The rest of our meals were so good. Scallops, grouper, coconut shrimp, everything was terrific! And they really throw fish around! So cool, entertaining and fun. Great place not to be missed!

    Food was amazing! I talked to my waitress about cajun season for my snapper. She gave me her opinion. Once i got my food christina our waitress followed up after first bite asking if seasoning was too much or too light. She recomended something and took pride! Awesome!

  • Dennis M.

    Great place! Great happy hour. I understand they do only have it "off season." I tried the Angel Food Martini. I was like eating cake...with a punch! They gave us a complimentary sample of smoked Mahi dip. It was really good. Great raw oysters. Steamed clams were good. Clam Chowder was very good. Key Lime Pie was good, I'll ask for it without the lime drizzle next time. (A little over bearing) They have a fish market where you can buy fresh fish to take home. We are definitely going back.

    Great place to eat with fantastic happy hour specials. We enjoyed the sushi and oysters on the happy hour menu for less than $10 each. Happy hour rail drinks and draft beers run around $3. I wouldn't recommend the happy hour shrimp pizza. It was a little on the cheesy side, but everything else we had was great. The oysters were a good deal for the price. I also suggest trying the Oyster Shooter. It's like a mini Bloody Mary in a shot glass with an oyster in it.

    Stopped in for Happy Hour as we cruised north on the ICW. The happy hour menu at the bar has some great selections. We tried the Buffalo Shrimp and the Rib Stack. The ribs were really good and the shrimp were served with celery and blue cheese crumbles on top. We tried the white peach sangria which was recommended by our server. Others in our party tried the Red Sangria. Both were good, but I liked the white one better. Our friends tried the fritters, oysters and the sushi rolls. No one was disappointed. This is definitely a good stop for happy hour if you are in the area!

  • Shanen P.

    took family to this restaurant, ordered raw oysters, seafood nachos, jumbolyia and crabcakes, waiter was very friendly and always kept our glasses full, the oysters were very clean and had great flavor, very fresh. the seafood nachos were excellent, lots of crab meat see pics, great flavor and we're not heavy. The jumbolyia was good, ingredients were fresh lots of shrimp, sausage and chicken in a red sauce over rice. My wife got the crabcakes, they looked amazing great presentation however they were greasy and she did not finish them. that's the reason for the 4 stars, kids had a burger and chicken fingers, burger was good size cooked well and tasted good, fries were excellent fresh cut and crispy. I would recommend coming here.

    Bar and seating is very confusing. Bar had a happy hour from 4-7 but my fish bowl was watered down and not that good. Food was good on all ends, but a 1.5 hour wait and slow table service was a turn off. Would try someplace new.

    (4)

  • Jenn M.

    Excellent food--both the jambalaya and crab cakes are generous portions and perfectly seasoned. The fresh fish options are all wonderful. However, we experienced lukewarm service--our server was inattentive (did not clear empty plates, failed to refill drinks, etc.). Would definitely go back for the food with hopes of having a different server.

  • Daniel C.

    It seems like I'm back again and again - they have the best seafood offerings and a great staff ensuring you have the best experience. It starts with a complimentary creamy mahi dip which is absolutely delicious. My go to entree is their daily catch cooked in their signature preparation (pan seared and cornmeal encrusted) with a lime butter sauce. No matter what the catch of the day is, its always fresh and it always goes well with the signature preparation and always tastes delicious! Great happy hour deals too!

    It's in Barefoot Landing and the best dining experience of the beach week. We will repeat this place on our next visit. The view from this restaurant was the inland waterway, some boats and a really nice condominium complex. A great choice for lunch, but I bet it gets busy during the summer. My wife had Salmon (4 oz portion), this ended up being a much larger portion (somewhere in the 8 oz range) and I helped her by eating about 1/2 of it (delicious). She couldn't substitute the vegetable selection for a salad... a bit disappointing. They wanted to charge an additional $4.95 for adding a salad. I had the fresh catch Grouper (dinner portion 8 oz) I think it was a bit small (probably around 6 oz cooked) but very tasty. I had ordered it with the Cajun seasoning. It came with a salad and two vegetables ... the salad was mostly iceberg lettuce. The desert menu was nice but we were just too full. Service was excellent and attentive.

    We tried out some of the specialties for lunch here on our trip to Myrtle Beach: Shrimp n' Grits, Crab Cakes, Jambalaya, Calamari and Fish and Chips. The serving sizes of the dishes were pretty good, and the servers were prompt and courteous. My favorite was probably the Grits: creamy, cheesy and hit that sweet 'comfort food' spot. The Jambalaya was another homestyle dish that I liked. The Crab Cakes were so-so, and it felt like the cook wasn't sure what to do with the sides (rice and a few vegetables). It seemed kind of mismatched and the dish kind of didn't sit well as a result. Overall a decent pick for seafood in the Barefoot Landing shopping center. If there's fewer people you can request a seat right by the water, which is always nice.

  • Rosie P.

    This place is awesome! I Definitely recommend it. We went during happy hour. It was not our intention, but we just walked in at the perfect time. Bar seating with the booths is first come first serve. So we managed to grab a booth. We got the Buffalo Shrimp ($5 happy hour) and chicken tenders (also $5 happy hour) and they were amazing. Aaron was our server... and he is one of the best servers that I have ever had... A+ all the way around for him. My mom got the fish and chips ($15 dinner) sister got the shrimp and grits ($15 dinner) and I got the white shrimp pizza ($7 happy hour) I wasn't crazy about the pizza... but all else was amazing. And the drinks were on point. AND... AND... we got to throw a huge salmon! Super fun! And thanks to yelp we found this place =)

    After being told of a half hour wait five minutes later we we being seated! The scallops and shrimp were excellent and the flounder was just OK and fries were pretty good. The bill didn't seem unreasonable and the service was excellent.

  • Tally B.

    Service was pleasant and efficient. The smoked fish dip was very good, but I agree with the other review that it would be better on bread. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the fish selections and was able to help me select "triggerfish". I had never tried it before and really enjoyed it! The food was fresh, hot and perfectly cooked.

  • Alex Y.

    Service: 4/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Food: 2/5 We had heard good things about this establishment, but we will not be returning after tonight's dinner. Two of us ordered the fresh fish, one was mahi mahi, Cajun style. The other was rainbow trout, Hooked style. Both came out salty. The mahi mahi was too unbearably salty so we asked to get it cooked with less cajun seasoning. They were quick to return with a grilled mahi mahi, no Cajun seasoning at all. It was *still* salty! The fish was soaked to the center in salt. Absolutely absurd! I was too hungry to wait any longer so I stuck with the rainbow trout. We had also ordered crab legs and jambalaya -- crab legs were salty/not fresh, but the jambalaya was good. The silver lining was their service -- the waitress and manager were very understanding and respectful while we raised our concerns. Put shortly: don't eat here if you don't like salty fish!

  • Lew M.

    The Buffalo popcorn shrimp appetizer was great and happy hour priced at $5. Dinner was fried oysters and clams for $21.95 and same for fried flounder and jumbo (they say ) shrimp. Quantity of food was small. Get more at say a Cracker Barrell. Sides were so so. Would not recommend this restaurant.

  • Megan D.

    This place was recommended to us by a friend back in Jersey before we left and it was on point!! We went during happy hour hours which gave us the option of sitting at the bar right away or waiting for a table for a possible 25- 30 mins. We decided to wait because the restaurant is right on the bay and would have a killer sunset around dinner time. We only waited prob all of 8 mins when they were ready for us. As we were walking we saw all the fresh fish that was caught this morning!! Once we sat down we were all business considering we didn't have lunch. I'm a sucker for any place that serves clam chowder so I had that. It was creamy and had tons of veggies and clams. Between the 4 of us we also ordered hush puppies (a first for us kids from Jersey), buffalo shrimp and calamari. A favorite for all of us was definitely the buffalo shrimp. For our dinners my boyfriend and I shared the souther fried favorites: we had soft shell crab, flounder and scallops and had sides of french fries and hush puppies and a few good sauces for our liking. My sister in-law ordered a fresh fish that was caught this morning, she had the salmon and had it grilled it was a huge piece of fish with a side of rice and green beans. My brother in-law also ordered a fresh fish, the grouper which he also had grilled. The both throughly enjoyed their meals and loved that it was caught this morning and served within hours! Absolutely a great place for dinner of your looking for fresh seafood. It's in Barefoot Landing which has tons if little shops, stores and eateries that you can enjoy once your done with your meal.

  • Jenny M.

    The atmosphere was great, the service was excellent and the food was delish! My family of seven come here to celebrate my mom's birthday and we loved it! We started off with the seafood nachos and fried pickles. My favorite part of the nachos were the homemade chips! This was a meal in itself but between the seven of us, it was a perfect starter. I got the fish & chips and the cod was perfectly flaky. It was so much food, I will probably have lunch for two days. The only downside was that my dad wanted gulf oysters but the restaurant didn't have any. Turns out the morning delivery of oysters did not meet The Flying Fish's high standards so they passed on buying...I appreciate that level of respect wanting to put out the best product for your customers.

    (5)

  • Lauren M.

    Service was fast and friendly, but food was not up to par with other restaurants in the area. Felt more like a chain restaurant or tourist trap than anything else. Food was barely warm coming out, and portions of everything were enormous. Is probably fine for tourists who don't know any better, but as regular seasonal visitors of Little River and NMB, we probably wouldn't go back.

  • gary m.

    This is a very popular place in Barefoot Landing so expect to wait just a little bit. The restaurant is large with a full bar and a full view of the fish prepping area. You'll see some flying fish if you're lucky. The complementary mahi mahi dip was a great start to the meal. The oysters were nice and fresh. The soft shell blt is a must try. My fiancé had the tile fish which was a first and won't be the last. The drink of the week peach schnapps lemonade was great. Service here is quick and pleasant. A must try in the North Myrtle Beach area.

  • Jeremy Y.

    This is my 2nd time here on my 5 day vacation to Myrtle Beach and I'm going to miss this place. Besides the view when you're eating outside the food is amazing. We came here Friday and only spent $30 including tip for 2 meals and 2 sangrias from the lunch menu. You're gonna spend that anyway out here for mediocre fast food and mediocre this is not. The mahi mahi dip that they bring out with crackers for free is amazing and so are the hush puppies with cinnamon butter dip. Me and my wife are currently waiting for our entrees but I know they will not disappoint. If you're looking for a restaurant that isn't a franchise and you won't find back home(a least in Jersey) then this is the place. Good food, good ambience and easy on the pockets. Sounds like a winner to me.

    Excellent service and food. The Shrimp and Grits is probably number two or three on my all time favorite list and I eat shrimp and grits wherever I find it on a menu. As a Louisiana native I am pretty picky about seafood. This is excellent, very child friendly in a relaxed atmosphere!

  • Elizabeth K.

    Excellent seafood! This place has a fun laid back atmosphere. It's family friendly without being cheesy or corporate looking. We went twice on our vacation and had great service both times. I say you have to go with one of the fresh catch options. I got the grouper and the wahoo both Cajun style. I recommend the Cajun style if you like spicy. Other restaurants in the barefoot area are very corporate/ commercial but this one is very good!

  • Katie H.

    Best bang for your buck!! Happy hour is amazing! Drinks- mixed and beer 3-5 dollars for full pints of mixed drinks. Fried calamari is light and crisp & includes rings and tentacles. Buffalo shrimp has a perfect amount of spice. Shrimp salsa--- don't be swayed by the odd name it's to die for!! Get it with tortilla chips rather pita. However the best part is the 4.50$ for half a dozen oysters!! They are small but sweet and delicious!! They also let the kids come watch some fishy action and put a glove on and touch a dead fish!!

  • Erica L.

    Had our first family dinner during our Myrtle Beach Christmas vacation here. It was pretty busy, even for the 23rd of December. The hostess greeted us immediately and gave us an accurate wait time. We were able to check out the fresh fish on display while we were waiting. We were seated towards the back, overlooking the water. It was already too dark and rainy to see anything, but still a nice area to sit. Our server was very enthusiastic. You can tell she was a veteran and knew what to recommend. We started with a half dozen blue point oysters - very fresh and delicious. Hubby had the Snow Feast with the Alaskan Snow Crabs. Brother had the shrimp and grits. Both mom and I had the rainbow trout signature prepared with the honey lime butter and fresh herb cream sauce signature topping, respectively. The honey lime butter was the better topping. The portions were huge! We ended up taking home a fish fillet. We shared a slice of the triple chocolate layer cake for dessert. It was fantastic! We went during happy hour, so the beers were only $2.50 a glass. Can't beat that! The sauvignon blanc was pretty good too.

    Great seafood spot in Myrtle Beach. Lots of fresh catch choices. Service was excellent. Had the crusted and sautéed fresh catch with the mango salsa. It was amazing. Someone sitting next to us had the shrimp and grits, that looked awesome as well. On a Tues night second week of July, had a 25 minute wait for party of two. Also had a sushi menu.

  • Lou K.

    Had lunch there today on the second floor in a nice window table with a view of the intercostal waterway. The interior is clean crisp and feels updated. Love the fish market as you walk to your table. Our server was attentive knowledgeable and friendly. I had the soft shell BLT and as a Baltimore girl I can be pretty picky about my crabs. I happily was not disappointed. The only thing that made me consider giving this place only 4 stars was the fact that the women's room was tired, not fully functioning and not properly stocked. It was early in the day, so hopefully that was just a one-off so I'm letting the food and staff and atmosphere carry the day.

  • Emily L.

    Food was incredible. We had the shrimp n grits, hush puppies appetizers, barefoot roll (sushi) and the fish sandwich and everything was so good. Portions are large so we had lots of leftovers. The complimentary mahi mahi dip was also addictive and I would go Back for that!

  • Jason M.

    Went here on vacation, about 45 min wait at 5:30 in June. Good service there. Mixed drinks were watered down for sure. I got the crab cakes which were good, green beans with them were very salty, couldn't finish them because of that. Sweet potato fries were awesome thou! Had 4 kids with us and they liked the kids meals.

  • Susan H.

    We chose this place based on their Yelp reviews. On our first attempt, there was a 1 1/2 hour wait (they don't take reservations or call ahead seating), so the next night we arrived early (4:45pm) and were seated right away. The ambiance is pleasant - we were seated with a great view of the water which was nice since we were at our table for over 1 1/2 hours (not our choice or fault - service was just that slow). The people at our table who ordered fresh fish specials were more pleased with their meals. My husband had the Jambalaya which he said was just "meh". Our table ordered the hush puppies app and didn't even finish them, as they were also just "meh". I split some clam strips with my son - they were also disappointing - the breading was mushy and they tasted like they had been microwaved. Just not impressed over all and definitely not worth a wait.

    (2)

  • Mike C.

    Pretty good. The specials between 4-7pm were great. There were a lot of older folks there but that could be because we were there early for Happy Hour. I felt a little rushed, but kind of understand after seeing the crowd trying to get seats in the bar area. The food was delicious and the drinks were pretty good too.

  • Missy H.

    I love this place. The food is always terrific, reasonably priced and fast. The house made spread they bring to the table is a great. The food is hot and perfectly cooked. There is a wide variety of food for all palates. Also, the side Caesar salad is the best I've had in any restaurant. This place knows their seafood!

  • J T.

    Dined at the bar around 7:30. Very busy, but great bar service. Enjoyed a half dozen bluepoint oysters, which were perfect and large. Had the shrimp and grits entree, which was delicious but took 40 minutes to arrive. Great beer selection. I'm assuming the slow service on the entree was an anomaly, because there appeared to be a lot of return customers. Will return again.

    Yelp you've failed me... The "boil" had absolutely no flavor, in the shrimp, potatoes, sausage, nothing... The service was good, the beer was good, but the food was not, and for the price... Two words: buyers remorse. If you're a foodie and you're using Yelp to guide you in your new vacation spot, avoid this place. It's just generic and bland, tourist trap to the max.

    Visiting from Atlanta, GA & Birmingham, AL - 10 of us in the group, outdoor seating only available for up to 6 per party. Told 1 hr wait ended up being seated in the bar area after 20 minutes. We had ordered fried pickles & hush puppies to munch on while waiting. They arrived at our table before we received our drinks! Great job of finding us so quick. Server did a great job of helping us get the items we wanted - even spliting the shared entres. We are not alcohol consumers, so bar drinks were not ordered n our group, but about 10 waters were! Several had the snapper prepared according to their signature preparaton with the Herb cream sauce - It was Great! Several had grilled snapper, the fish & chips and the fried shrimp. All 10 of us agreed that we want to eat here again on this trip and that we would order the same item if we were not going to try a different dish. Service was terrific, food was great. We will split up next time for outdoor seating! We will be back soon!

    Great food and atmosphere. I had the shrimp and grits, another in my party ordered the brown beer battered fish and chips. Beer was cheap, also offered $3 sangrias - yum! My son ordered fish sticks off kids menu. There were 10 chunks of fried fish, they were not frozen fish sticks that kids like (mine anyway :) ). I should have known better at a seafood restaurant. Great view of the water too.

  • Jessica P.

    As far as touristy places to eat go, I'll say they are not my favorite and I can be a food snob. With that said, this is the best meal I had in the three days I was at Myrtle Beach with my friends. The mahi mahi dip was delish, the hush puppies were good and my trout dinner was tasty. They have a nice bar with a decent beer selection, the service was good. They did bring out a pretty lame wedge salad... I guess the kitchen was out of bacon but instead of telling my friend, they just sent out an iceberg wedge smothered only in dressing. I would eat here again and I would not say that about all the restaurants at Barefoot Landing.

    Nice atmosphere. We had their hushpuppies, their raw oysters and the flying fish sushi roll. The roll was fantastic and my guy loved their oysters. He actually ordered two platters he enjoyed them so much! The hushpuppies weren't very good. They were fried with other savory items which was fine but they are served with a sweet cinnamon butter. They were just a strange combo.

    We were trying to find a seafood restaurant to eat at for our last night in Myrtle Beach and kind of stumbled on Flyin Fish in Barefoot. It was a Friday evening around 7pm and there was a 30min wait. Might be a good idea to make reservations. Their menu is almost all seafood, although they do have some non fish items and a kids menu. Instead of bread and butter at the table they bring over a mahi dip with crackers - very tasty! We started with oysters on the half shell. Then I had the mahi mahi, which was one of about 5 catches of the day. You can choose how you want your catch prepared and what topping. I had Cajun/broiled with a mango salsa. It was delish, although a little too spicy for me. I did have meal envy though. My husband ordered the local feast which was steamed shrimp, crab legs, sausage, potatoes and corn on the cob. It was a huge portion, and we probably could have shared it. Our waitress was very nice and attentive, and was able to convince us to have dessert! We will definitely be back. PS - the name Flyin Fish I believe was chosen because the front of the restaurant looks like a fish market, and the staff get restaurant goers involved in throwing whole fish across the room as would be done in a traditional fish market.

    Went for the great reviews, but left unimpressed. Service was attentive and friendly. Restaurant is huge and bustling, but our table in the corner was quiet enough to hear each other well. The smoked Mahi dip they provided when we sat down was a good start to the meal. We had Fried Pickles as an appetizer and they were the best we had in Myrtle Beach this week. We tried both of the Bloody Marys on the drink menu and were happy with them. Things were off to a good start, but our entrees were decidedly lackluster. I had grilled salmon with herb cream sauce - the fish was fresh, but both the fish and the sauce were badly under-seasoned. My wife had the Shrimp & Grits. The flavor of the dish was good, but everything was covered in an absurd amount of sauce. When the dish arrived, it looked like a big bowl of soup. I joked that we should drink it with a straw.

    We found Flying Fish after inquiring with a few locals at the course we were playing. 12 golfers from NY metro is a tough group to please. FF was up to challenge. We waited at bar for table to open and enjoyed excellent cocktails. Happy Hour menu had oyster shooters, which were very good! Bar service was very efficient and they know how to pour. We were then seated on the lower level, overlooking the intercostal. Our waitress Haley (sp?) was EXCELLENT! Kept our cocktails glasses filled, and made sure everyone was taken care of. Seafood nachos, coconut shrimp, fried pickles and wedge salad would all make the recommend list. Buffalo shrimp fell a little short, and could be missed. Successful mains included various sushi rolls, fresh fish prepared in a variety of ways, shrimp and grits, a 'boil', and the southern fried seafood. We did not have one complaint from the 12 diners. I have no reservations recommending Flying Fish, and hope you will try it.

  • Danielle H.

    Our waitress was Lexy. She was fabulous. She was great with our kids and provides the exact right amount of attention. We had the grouper and low country boil. Kids ate from the kids menu. The grouper was grilled to perfection and the low country boil had great flavor. I do t think you would go wrong with either one. As to the kids, The Mac & cheese from the kids menu appeared to be kraft, and the fried shrimp was popcorn shrimp. They were both large portions. We got here early, did the first come first serve seating in the bar area for happy hour. The happy hour prices for select drinks and appetizers are a great deal. With our two kids we didn't feel uncomfortable in the bar area. They have tables in that area. The place was very clean and staff seemed to really pay attention to the customers needs. I recommend this place completely.

    Sea food nachos were to die for and a humongous portion. I ate that for my meal and could even finish 25%. My husband who got the new England clam chowder and trout wasn't so lucky. He said they were mediocre and nothing to write home about. I tried a couple of cocktails and they were a miss too. Nice ambiance with a canal water view. But nothing was outstanding. If I ever went back, that would be for the seafood nachos

    My husband and I went to the flying fish for lunch and enjoyed it. My husband got the shrimp and grits and it was delicious and perfect for lunch. I got the ahi turbo tacos and they were good as well. I think the tacos would have been better if we were here for the summer instead of fall.. The service was decent considering there were only 2 waitresses. Friendly, great views, good time.

  • Sophia B.

    My husband ordered the fish and chips and it was plentiful and fantastic (definitely fresh!) - great value at 15 bucks! My daughter and I split the southern favorites - we chose the jumbo shrimp and soft shell crab. I was disappointed in the portions for the price. It was 22 dollars and we got 6 shrimp (not that big) and 2 small crabs - each about the size of a deck of cards. We will come back but next time we'll get the boil.

The atmosphere was friendly and lived up to its name "flying fish" ;)...The food was so fresh and delicious even the fried pickles were the best I have ever had! But the real amazement to me was my boyfriend loves scallops and I don't care for them but every time he wants me to try them, so I do. These scallops were amazing! I don't even like scallops and I thought these were so good! The only reason I do not give five stars is because my sword fish was really over seasoned and my green beans were under seasoned. I'm usually not a stickler about things like that but it was enough to say something about it! My fish was still good and fresh seamed like it was caught the day before. I'm definitely coming back but I won't be getting my fish Cajun style for the overwhelming amount of seasoning, fire grilled it will be.

    We went to the Flying Fish for lunch. They have a $6 lunch menu with limited choices but you can also order from the full menu as well. I'm not much for seafood so I ordered the patty melt. It was pretty dry, the onions were forgotten but the waiter brought a few onion straws to put on it. May be they just make patty melts differently in the South? The others in my party liked what they had to eat: trout, fish & chips, chicken wrap. We were a little disappointed that they do the "flying fish" in the evening only. That was one reason we chose to go there. The room was cold, wish we would have had our sweaters along.

    Fresh seafood, well prepared, beautiful setting. My wife and I had lunch there. I had fish and chips and was pleasantly surprised that fish was large portions of fresh fish fillet, nicely battered and fried, not heavy or oily. My wife had Mahi Mahi fillet, which was well prepared, with fresh green beans and a tasty Gouda cheese mashed potato side. Service was quick and friendly. Price wasn't much more than other place we have been a lesser quality in the area.

    Perplexed...that's how we left feeling. I'm trying to figure out what night of the week and what dish I need to order to have a 4 or 5 star experience...I can tell you it isn't a Thursday, and the grilled fresh fish or shrimp and grits aren't the dishs. Bland, seasonless, tasteless meat thrown on a grill, served with bland, seasonless, tasteless rice and green beans. In fact, I wonder if the only seasoning in the restaurant is the salt and pepper grinders on the table...devices that undoubtedly came in handy. As for the choice of sauce, I ordered the Habanero Orange Chutney and my wife got the Mango Salsa. My chutney was tasty...problem is, I got about a tablespoons worth to cover an entire piece of blah fish...if your not gonna season the meat, better bring a bowl of that sauce 'cause it needs help. As for my wife's mango salsa...so so. The other dishes on the table were shrimp and grits and seafood chili. Of all the food, the chili was the most edible. The shrimp and grits...well, imagine grits drowning in a bath of unseasoned heavy whipping cream and your right there. Now, lets talk service. My suggestion is to walk in with a pad and pen and write down what you want to know about the menu, specials, happy hour, etc. Why? Because odds are, if you don't ask, they won't tell. Oh, and be specific, if you care to know details because asking about deserts, for example, will garner an answer such as "key lime pie, pecan pie, chocolate cake..." Of course, there is a HUGE difference between, say, "pecan pie", and "pecan pie with vanilla bean ice cream and a warm caramel sauce." The server told us nothing unless we SPECIFICALLY asked (ie "does it have ice cream?"..."yes"..."does it have a sauce?"..."yes, caramel sauce"...) So why the 2 star review...why not 1 star. Well, the freshness of the fish and veggies was a plus. Also, the happy hour has some good value on it so I do recommend that. There are various drinks and apps for good prices. All in all, just not a good meal for what we paid. For years, our family went to Charleston SC for our annual vacation. There, a $30/person average drink/meal restaurant would be memorable (in a good way). This place wouldn't last a month down there without some serious reworking. The potential is there, but it simply didn't deliver.

    After a complete shopping failure for our planned dinner tonight, we decided to try this place based on the good reviews. It was around 6:30 by the time we got there and we were told it was a 45 minute to an hour wait. Thanks to "Lynn" who apparently chose not to wait for his or her table, we got moved up the queue and were seated in about 25 minutes. I was a little worried about the atmosphere because it seemed really loud while we were waiting but once we were seated upstairs, it was fine. They start by delivering complimentary Mahi Mahi dip with saltine-type crackers. It was a bit like whitefish salad and pretty good. My BIL ate it with a fork when we ran out of crackers. :) We ordered the basket of hushpuppies as an appetizer and they got rave reviews around the table but with the qualifications that "deep fried rubber bands" would also be good. They're served with honey butter which made my sister kind of go all Homer-y (she did stop just shy of drooling). Mom got the shrimp and grits which was freakin' amazing. I did not pick up her bowl after she finished and lick it out but I considered it. A few people at the table (not me) thought it might be too rich but three of us decided she won the dinner raffle. Sister number 1 got the fire roasted trout and thought it was excellent but the Asian glaze she got with it fell a little Flat. She asked for the habanero chutney instead and that was delicious - spicy and sweet. Sister number 2 got fire roasted tile fish with herb cream sauce. She found it to be a little rare and would have liked it cooked more. It was also a bit bland but after a couple of shakes of salt and pepper considered it worthy of recommendation. My BIL got the cornmeal sautéed wreckfish. He said it was delicious but did not actually lick the plate. (Of course he was helping mom eat her shrimp and grits too so...) The fish and chips was very good but I ended up spending most of my time envying my mother her shrimp and grits. The little one got fish sticks which ended up circling the table and were deemed better than my fried fish. They're not your typical frozen formed fish stick things - they're actually real fish. Our server Devin was terrific. She was extremely knowledgable about the menu and the various fish they offered. She even noticed that I needed a drink refill before I did which, to me, is the trademark of a good server. She was so good that the little one gave her TWO of his stickers! We got two slices of pecan pie for dessert and it was possibly life-altering. Basically, we left here so happy that we've decided that we might have to go back tomorrow...

    I really enjoyed this place. I had the blackened fish tacos. They were spicy, but not overly so. The hostess was courteous and quick. The bartender was nice and made recommendations, which I took (blackened mahi fish tacos). I subbed the rice for green beans and asked for the avocado cream sauce on the side, both of which they did correctly. I would definitely come back. The food was a little slow, but I came during an off peak time, and they MORE than compensated for it...and I wasn't in any kind if hurry so I didn't care. I really have no complaints at all.

    I came here with a friend of mine and we enjoyed the ambience and the apparent action of an actual fish flying through the air in the marketplace. We attended happy hour, ordered appetizers, and dinner and still spent next to nothing. The server brings a complimentary fish dip, very good! I ordered the oysters on a half shell (CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS EVER) and my friend ordered hush puppies which came with a cinnamon butter sauce. Very good, I might add! We ordered the same entree, soft shell crab BLT. It was good, though the crab was microscopic :(. Also, the sandwich had no remoulade or aioli sauce to bring out the flavor, it was relatively dry. Luckily, I am always prepared to "jazz up" my food to my liking while there. I added lemon juice, and some of the side cole slaw to my sandwich. This made for a better experience but a house-sauce on this sandwich would have surely resulted in a five star rating from me. Other than that, the service was great, the atmosphere was exciting, and the company was lovely:).

    Great deals during Happy Hour - it's hard to get a drink around North Myrtle Beach without laying out some major dough, but Flying Fish's cocktails are generally pretty cheap. It's definitely a tourist haven, but Myrtle Beach really isn't the greatest place to have a "unique" dining experience of any kind. Flying Fish has a great atmosphere and great -tasting food, and is a good place to bring kids and spend time with family. The waitstaff was extremely friendly and efficient, so I'd pretty much recommend this place to anybody.

  • Tammy D.

    The best meal of out week long stay in Myrtle beach. We ordered a variety of dishes: clam chowder, fish market sandwich, soft shell crab BLT and the flying fish special (a crab boil for two). Everything that we had was fresh and delicious. The chowder was full of calms rather than potatoes and very flavorful. The sandwiches were stuffed full of fish and crab, and not over whelmed by the bread-to-fish ratio. I assume that the crab boil but I can't confirm because my SO ate with his elbows sticking out. We also had a spicy tuna roll, but wouldn't recommend it. It did not taste very frehs, and the rice was not well seasoned. Honestly should have known better than to order Japanese cuisine in a seafood place. I would definitely make this a must if we ever go back to SC.

    So glad we made the choice to eat here with the unbelievable amount of places to choose from! The service was not only great, the waitress was genuine and attentive. The food was reasonably priced, delicious, and served quickly. The wait was not long considering it is Bike Week, and the place is really nice. Nice view, too. We will be back for sure!!

    Stumbled on this place while shopping. This place is great wonderful staff and great view of the waterway out back. We started with buffalo shrimp which was great, had delicious Caesar salad and finished with fire grilled snapper with a mango salsa all of it was incredible. This place was a great experience would recommend this to anyone, and would definitely come again.

    We have visited Flying Fish Public Market & Grill numerous times and each time the party had mixed feelings about their experience. First I want to emphasize their outstanding service. I would give it a six if I could. They bent over backwards to accommodate my 91 year old mother-in-law tonight. I can not say enough about heir attention to our group and the cheerful, knowledgable service we received. Sadly, our food was mixed. I shared the steamed Flying Fish Feast with my nephew and it was very good. Three in our party did not consider their grouper to be very good. The mixed reviews on the food have been our experience on each visit. Usually it is a fish that seems to under-deliver. The service is always outstanding, the ambiance is lively and loud. Very festive and alive.

  • Katie B.

    All I can say is yummy!!! What a fantastic place to go for seafood in a casual, friendly locale. We loved the free appetizers (great way to showcase some of their offerings). Their shrimp and grits were amazing and their build your own steam pot was so delicious! The service was prompt and courteous! One of the best places to eat at Barefoot Landing. Go early or expect a long wait.

  • David P.

    If you don't try this place while in town, your loss. It's busy, it's loud, there are fish flying overhead (bit of an exaggeration, kinda) and it is a lot of fun; exactly what a east coast crab and fish market should be. The steamer pots are tremendous. Lots of crab, clean favors, nothing but good to say. Bar is a great area to dine in, and a table can often be had much faster than waiting for the main dining area. The crab steamers were the best I have ever had in the area. It saddens me when so much publicity surrounds the crab buffets, which typically offer little in the way of good food, just limitless portions. And who wants limitless portions of medicore food? Flying Fish is the best place for crab in the area.

    I went there alone for lunch (#awkwardsoloeating) and was really impressed with the service, quality of food, and atmosphere. The complimentary mahi mahi dip was a tasty start to my meal, and the grilled salmon (one of the fish available at market price) was an excellent finish. I didn't love the rice (but I'm also not a huge fan of rice anyway, unless it is diiirty diirty) but the green beans were amazing. My server was polite and attentive, without being overly hover-y (which is more obnoxious when dining alone and you feel like you have to justify being by yourself, reading CNN on your phone). I would definitely head back if I find myself in North Myrtle again!

  • Jeff B.

    Good, fresh seafood. If ya get fish make sure to get the "habanero-orange chutney" as a topper... it was awesome. They also do a pretty good job with the portion sizes of food. It is a little pricey, but it should be expected considering the location, and what kind of restaurant it is. Be prepared for long waits for a table but the service once you are in has been consistently stellar the few times we have been while vacationing in Myrtle.

  • Kelly R.

    This place was yummy! All the seafood is fresh. I would skip the fried jumbo shrimp though. It was just ok. However, my husband had the locals feast. It was great! Lots of crab!! All the seafood was amazing! Before we ordered the server brought out a smoked mahi mahi dip with some crackers and that was fantastic. Pumpkin cheesecake was sooooo good. The whipped cream was unlike any I have ever had. I wanted to order a bowl of whipped cream! Our server, Mackenzie, was very attentive. The service was incredible. If I lived here I would eat here all the time.

    I've been coming here for years and it is always fantastic. This time we came in for happy hour and dinner. The happy hour specials were amazing. Prices range from 3-7 for both drinks and food. We ordered hush puppies, ribs, tuna roll, California roll and shrimp. Family ordered cool drinks ranging from sangria margarita to a peach margarita. We were full before dinner came. For dinner I got the Alaskan Crab legs. It was delicious. Kid friendly.

    We came here on vacation and loved it! Great beer options including an apricot ale I loved. Happy hour deals from 4-7 are great too. There's food for everyone from sushi to burgers to seafood. You can even catch a fresh fish with your bare hands for evening entertainment - the staff is upbeat and friendly helping patrons to have an awesome time!

    Food was great and a great value. We came for lunch so got lunch specials. You get a good bit of food and it is really yummy. Our server wasn't the greatest but from what I could tell from over hearing others it just seems like we didn't get the best. He wasn't horrible but he didn't inform us of specials or the fish of the day and we had to ask for refills. Other than that everything was great! He did bring us to go drinks though.

    This was a very good place as well. We were seated right away in an area with a great view. The food was very good and so was the service. I ordered crab legs and shrimp. My sons ordered dessert. We really enjoyed our food. My fave part was the fish being tossed back and forth between the fish market workers and customers. I guess that's why it's called "flying" fish! Will return!

    I happened upon this place while trying to maneuver around one of the many bike gatherings during bike week on Sat. May 17th. Fortunately, I arrived early (@4:45pm) as it was very busy as I left. I was specifically looking for crab legs and I was SO happy that they had them on the menu. The portion was huge and they were some of the best snow crab legs I've ever had. My server was so sweet (sorry I forgot her name). I also overheard other diners around me saying how fresh tasting and good their meals were too. I plan on going back before I leave for some fresh fish. I don't drink amymore, but they have a great selection of beers from local breweries and a very nice bar area. Recommend highly.

  • Lisa S.

    Stopped in for lunch, great picks. Only problem, wasabi cream sauce on tuna tacos- loads of wasabi! If you're not a fan, ask for other sauces. Also serves local brewery brew. I'm a firm believer in local supporting local. Also has a fresh fish market. Worth a try if you're in the area. We'll be back.

    Thanks, Yelp, for helping us find a great dinner place! The watermelon margarita was tart and bright, the fish dip appetizer was great, and the fresh fish was terrific.

    I came here yesterday with my sister, Mom, and a friend of my Mom's. We met for lunch as we had come by the other day and saw that they have a special lunch menu for $6. Out server immediately greeted is with a complimentary sample of their Mahi Mahi dip. It was very good. Three of us ordered the grilled chicken salad from the lunch menu and we were all satisfied. It had a good portion of chicken on it as well as bacon, cheese, goldfish for croutons, onions, and tomatoes. My Mom ordered a Cajun salmon wrap which was also on the lunch menu. She enjoyed hers as well. My mother hadn't seen her friend for awhile so we sat gabbing at the table for over 2 hours and our server didn't seem to care at all. He was very sweet and continued to refill our drinks even after we had paid our bill. There were several other options on the lunch menu and the regular menu looked good as well. The atmosphere is very cool and you can sit outside along the water. We will definitely be back!

  • Susan G.

    Seating in the bar area is first come, first serve so we sat at the marble countertop facing the kitchen. It lacks a view of the water, but we didn't have to wait to be seated. They start you with a fish dip and crackers, but it needed salt. We both had the steamed shrimp and sausage plate. The corn was sweet and very tasty. The sausage was in small slices rather than chunks, but still good. Not too spicy either. The shrimp were big and plump. However the red potatoes were undercooked. Our server gladly replaced them, which rounded out the meal nicely. A bonus to the kitchen view was watching the sushi chef at work as well as the "flying fish". It kind of reminded me of the fish market in Seattle. The service was great and we would definitely return.

  • Ron B.

    Arrived about 6pm and only waited about ten minutes. The place is large and they move the people through there. We had the fried seafood platter which was standard fare. My son got a burger which was large and he enjoyed it. The place is casual dining and the noise level is a little high. The dining area faces a canal with condos and boat docks. The portions were large and were very full when we left. We would most likely go back.

  • Marsha F.

    Drinks were tasteless. Even the olives in the martini had no flavor. Tried two different margaritas that were so bad I ended up with water. How do you make a bad tasteless drink? Ribs were good, iceberg salad was good, but then again how do you mess that up. Waitress was so busy talking to friends at the table next to ours that we had to wait for her to glance up to get her attention. I would say that of the 40 minutes we were there she talked to them 30.

    I went to the Flying Fish yesterday for my pre-bachlorette party dinner. It was AMAZING! To start they quoted us 30 min for a table for our party, it took 7 minutes. The hostess was even chatting us up while walking us to our table. Then as we were walking to the table (on the water) the sushi chef jumped in front me and started joking around by PRETENDING to unbutton his shirt (he didn't really) and then told me congrats. Then our server was GREAT! Just overall amazing service. FOOD was excellent! I can't wait to take my fiancée there! As we were leaving the sushi chef stopped me and my group and handed me gloves. Why gloves you ask?! Well I put the gloves on and then he handed me a HUGE whole fish. He got behind the counter and then made me throw the fish at him. I was so nervous I would drop it and that's a lot of money!! But I successfully threw the fish and he caught it. Then he threw a fake fish at my friend who caught it, but she thought it was real at first cause he even grabbed it from by the ice! Just overall one of the best dining experiences I have EVER had!!

    Went for the happy hour with my 2yr old twins. I was worried about the wait and and the bar area where they do happy hour having low tables. I needn't have worried. The bar has lots of low tables.They are first come first serve and I only had to wait a few minutes for one to be cleared around 6pm. The decor is nice. Location at barefoot landing is nice. We were able to walk with the stroller to great ice cream at molly's ( maggie moos ice cream-one of my faves), the tiger exhibit, the carousel and the shops. I ordered off the happy hour menu and got 6 oysters on the half shell for $5, calamari for $5 and a shrimp pizza for 7. The the oysters were good. Fresh and pretty big. A deal for $5 and the main reason i went. The calamari was good. Lots of legs and rings with a tangy sweet dipping sauce that my daughter liked. Not the melt in your mouth best I've ever had kind. The pizza was small. More of a personal size. The crust was limp and rubbery like a frozen pizza that had been microwaved. The sauce on it had good flavor though. Very few shrimp. I would have expected better crust and shrimp for this restaurant. My kids wouldn't even eat it.

  • Denise S.

    Kinda pricey, but the food was worth it! The server was very nice and helpful in giving his opinion on the popular items on the menu. They gave us complementary smoked tuna salad as an appetizer (so good we wish we had gotten more!). We ordered the calamari as an appetizer and the fire grilled rainbow trout with lime butter and I got the local's feast. The calamari was good but nothing wowish, but the entrées were amazing! The trout was cooked so well and was delicious and the local ' feast was more food than we could handle. Again, a little pricey, but still delicious. We would definitely come back here!

    The group I dined with mostly got the fish n chips but I had the snow feast. Gloriously large snow crab legs, smoked sausage, corn on the cob and red potatoes. Since it was our last dinner in Myrtle Beach, I wanted to go out with a crackle and pop. The crab meat came out so easily - you could sense how fresh it was. My mom had the scallops which are normally fried but the kitchen was more than willing to grill them instead. They were big and meaty - she thoroughly enjoyed them. Our server was very accommodating to our party of 9 and kept the drinks coming. The blackberry margarita was a tad sweet for my taste but all in all, it was a good meal.

  • Greg N.

    Great happy hour as so many others mentioned. Nice central bar very cool ambiance. Had a delectable dozen oysters for only $9. For dinner had the soft shell crab, oysters, and scallops. Only reason not 5* was the soft shell not so great, but everything else delicious.

  • R J.

    Although its a chain, the Flying Fish Market was a pleasant surprise for us. My wife and I tried the calimari, the spicy tuna roll and the hush puppies from the happy hour menu. Everything was great, and reasonably priced. Everything was cooked to order. For dinner (although we were already stuffed) my wife ordered a burger while I ordered a fresh fish selection. My wife enjoyed her vurger because it was cooked to her liking, and I thought my fish was freah and perfectly cooked. We both had a couple of drinks from their drink menu and liked that just as much as the food. We'll definitely be back. Also seemed like a fun place to bring a group for happy hour.

  • Kenneth D.

    My party had the sushi, ribs, cheeseburger and the low country. The ribs were awesome I highly recommend them, the sushi and cheeseburger were good, they taste just like anywhere else you get them, and the low country was ok, it needed more flavor and it came out a little on the cold side. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was fun. We highly recommend this place, we will go back.

    At this point it's more like 1 1/2, but they don't permit halves. First, this place is not a cheap meal. It is a solid mid-level in terms of price. We came here 2 years ago. It was pretty good. But it seems as though the Flying Fish has already started to decline. We got there at 8:15 PM. Instead of bread they delivered Captain crackers and fish spread; no hush puppies, no bread, just crackers. My wife ordered their signature cocktail, the Flying Fish Mojito. They were out. I asked what kind of Burbon they had; the server had no clue what they had. We ordered appetizers. Then we ordered entrees and they had a singular option for side vegetable, luke warm green beans. The apps, which the server initially forgot to put in (we later asked him about it and he then put them in), fried pickles and hush puppies, were good. The entrees weren't bad; it just wasn't anything to write home about. And again, this place isn't what I would call cheap. All in all, it seems that the Flying Fish may have stopped trying. As a result, we intend to stop coming.

  • Lauren K.

    This place had amazing reviews online. I'll give it that the food was amazing. The server was very personable and funny, but he only came to the table 3 times. The used dishes built up enough that we had to put them on the floor. Things come up so I'm assuming he had other obligations. Can't be faulted for that. Our soup order was forgot about and when asked nicely if we could have it, the food girl runner or helper just tossed it on our table. That was a bit over the top and unnecessary. The manager, I'm assuming, dropped out food off and was very nice. The kitchen manager who had my 3 nephews through fish, wish they loved, came around and asked about the food to make sure we were happy. All in all it was a busy night. Mostly good and a little rough. We got a "seat yourself" table so we didn't have to wait too long. Keep your eye out. Thanks Maurice!

    While we weren't exactly blown away by Flying Fish, we did have a decent dining experience there during our recent Myrtle Beach trip. The wait was about a half hour or so when we arrived on a weeknight, so we proceeded to the bar area for drinks. The Flying Fish branded beer was unfortunately not even close to being as good as the offerings from NJ's Flying Fish Brewing Company (is there some sort of copyright issue in all this, btw?), but it was still a step above the light beer choices we came across almost everywhere else. We were seated on the lower level near the outside patio, with a nice view of the water. A seafood spread and crackers lacked flavor, but it was a nice alternative to bread nonetheless. We started with buffalo shrimp, served with blue cheese crumbles and celery pieces and fried pickles served with ranch. Both were way too salty but still addictive in their own right. For dinner, I had the snow feast, which came with snow crab legs, sausage, corn on the cob and red potatoes. The corn was pretty lame, but I'm used to sweet white Jersey corn. The crab legs were meaty and the sausage was great. My boyfriend seemed satisfied with his fish entree although I didn't hear raves, either. I'd consider giving this place another shot on a future visit, at the very least for a snack and beer at the bar.

    Group of four locals visited for weekend lunch today and were not disappointed.. What a pleasant surprise.. Ahi and Mahi Mahi were cooked perfectly and were definitely fresh. Soft shell crab sandwich was awesome and a table favorite.. They offer a Mahi dip and crackers when you arrive and if she brought it out in a gallon tub of this stuff, we would have eaten it. An added plus? The Bloody Mary's are awesome.. Service was on point and they know the menu well. Will revisit for dinner soon. Also, looks like if you make reservations, theres a ton of flexibility with dual levels on the Waterway and large tables for 8+. Nice surprise!

    Great Experience. Had the baked oysters and oysters on the half shell, both were fantastic. Dinner took longer than normal but we were approached by the manager who apologized and made sure everything was great. He checked back multiple times. To me this shows the level of caring and service of this restaurant. We did not have to say anything and they were extremely proactive about solving a problem. Kudos to them for the outstanding hospitality. This type of service is not the norm when it comes tourist spots. The seafood boil was awesome and the wolffish was good as well. I cannot wait for our next trip to Myrtle Beach so we can eat here again.

    Place was a little noisy and crowded. Had a 30 minute wait, but did not take that long. During our wait we had a beer at the bar. We had a corner table with a nice view of the intercoastal and it did not seem noisy at the table. Had to have the sweet potato app again, that comes with blue cheese topping, it did not disappoint, Oh So Sweet, Oh So Good. You get a large plate/bowl so it can be shared. Way to much for one. Also, ordered the Buffalo Shrimp app. It is large for an app, could be a meal. It was very good. Nice Buffalo sauce and the shrimp was overcooked perfectly. Tasty! The Crab Cake BLT was also very good! Someone at our table ordered sushi and was very happy. Waitress was very good, very cheerful and all around great. Reported back that one of the sushi's ordered was not available but the supplier was on the way and would let us know if come in and took another sushi order and took the change order. Before we were finished our waitress reported back that the sushi was in because the supplier had just arrived and wanted to know if we were interested in ordering it.

    We read about a restaurant where they throw fish around like they do in Seattle's Pike Place Market so we wanted to see what flying Fish was all about. It is located in North Myrtle Beach in Barefoot Landing area with shops and restaurants When we arrived in the parking lot, we weren't sure where Flying Fish was exactly, so I got out and asked at the information booth. The gentlemen was helpful and told us we had to drive all the way around the backside because there was a body of water separating us and you can't drive over the pedestrian bridges. He also gave me a coupon for $5 off. Already full from eating at Bimini's, we decided to sit in the bar area so we could watch TV and grab a small bite and a beer. Our server was nice enough to ask the bartender to change the channel so we could watch the NHL playoffs. We ordered steamed clams and some sushi along with some craft beers. Then, we asked our server if there was a particular time the guys at the fish market throw fish. She said she would ask them. As we were leaving, two guys picked up a big fish and started to throw it back and forth. They asked my boyfriend if he wanted a try. He said "No". All of a sudden I saw something hurled at my boyfriend who picked it up and put it on his shoulders before throwing it back to the fish monger. They laughed. Later my boyfriend told me it wasn't a fish, but a toy alligator they threw at him. LOL. I thought the name of the restaurant was Flying Fish, not Flying Alligator.

    We have been coming to the Flying Fish happy hour for a long time. Always the best. Good drinks, great happy hour menu and great bartenders. Melissa, one of the bartenders this year was super nice, made great drinks and made our experience even better. This continues to be our favorite happy hour destination.

    This is the epitome of a solid, family resort kind of restaurant. If you want a really unique dining experience, keep moving along. I simply cannot wrap my head around the fact that this restaurant is ranked as highly as it is, unless this is the new Urbanspoon spin-off site, 'Suburbanspoon'. However, all things are relative. For an area as over-developed, touristy and lacking of any true 'flavor' as Myrtle Beach is, I should not be too surprised. This is the perfect place for vacationing families. It is somewhat boisterous (primarily by kids), has a seafood-y theme and is fairly inexpensive. This is NOT the place to have an experience based on creatively-created dishes by talented chefs, nor the place to have a decent glass of wine in a great atmosphere. Please note: nothing was bad, per se. It was just so painfully mediocre and chain restaurant-y. I felt like I was eating in a place that's attached to a shopping mall.

    Had an awesome experience here! Looked like there was a wait when we arrived so we sat at the bar. Started out with a few beers- apricot ale was delicous! Had buffalo shrimp and fried pickles for appetizers and both were amazing! Ordered the crab cakes entree which came with rice and veggies. This was also delicious! Prices were reasonable. Atmosphere was kinda loud but fun! I thoroughly enjoyed myself and the food here and would recommend it to anyone!!

    Restaurant was very busy but were seated immediately. The oysters were the freshest and best that I have ever had, also had the ahi tuna and a soft shell crab blt. All of the seafood was very flavorful and and came with an ample portion. Server was preoccupied with her cell phone and mediocre at best. We were seated in the lower level and the view was spectacular. We will definitely visit again.

    Last night my wife and I went for the happy hour dinner. We ordered the grouper grilled and fish and chips. Both came extremely well-done absolutely beautiful. Our server was Eddie from Nigeria, and he was one of the best waiters with whom we have ever had the pleasure of dining. We would definitely come back here it is an absolutely wonderful place.

    Friendly service but grilled "fresh fish" was very salty and tasted baked not grilled. Fish and chips had so much batter it was hard to find the fish. We wont be back

    Without sounding too snobby, my wife and I have more "upscale" tastes and there doesn't seem to be a lot in that category here in Myrtle Beach. After seeing a weak showing from Yelpers here, we thought we'd contribute a review that would benefit people with more upscale tastes. To put it in perspective, we're the kind of couple that gets good sushi at least once a week. We don't like dumpy places (i.e. tourist traps). We don't wear tank tops to dinner and we drive European cars. That being said, we're really happy we found Flying Fish Market. The restaurant's theme is essentially a fish market / brewery. Upon walking in, you'll see the bar to your left and a refrigerated cooler to your right with fresh fish. We went around 9 PM on a Wednesday evening and walked right in. We ordered: * Tuna sashimi appetizer * Dozen gulf flats oysters ($7.95!) * 2 orders spicy tuna rolls ($6.95 each?) * Bluefin tuna "Flying Fish style" ($19.95!) The tuna filet (done rare and in their signature preparation) was out of this world. I can say for a fact that you can't find a generous portion of Bluefin tuna in Chicago for $20. The spicy tuna rolls were incredibly fresh and surprisingly had a little (if even that) amount of spicy mayo - but it packed a kick - surely it had some cayenne pepper or something in it. The tuna sashimi appetizer was a nice portion and could complement someone's meal quite well. The service was very good (think 4 / 5) and the food speed was fast. Most of the servers seemed like college kids on Summer break but they were skilled enough to play the part well. The ambiance is that of an upscale brewery. Casual enough that you could dress comfortably but you don't feel like a number like you might feel at the restaurants on Restaurant Row. The restaurant is located in Barefoot Landing and you may want to arrive early to actually try and find the actual restaurant which is near T-Bonez and Maggie Moo's. For a discriminating couple who was left "scared" by limited Yelp reviews, we found a winner at Flying Fish Market.

    There are very few places in myrtle beach with great food and this is one of them. There was a 45 min wait, but we sat at the counter facing the kitchen/market without any wait (first come first served in that area). Sushi and a fish sandwich, all excellent, fresh, and came within 15 min. I have been here 3 times over the last 4 years and would recommend it every time.

    My girlfriends and I came to this restaurant based upon a recommendation from someone who had been here before. We were a party of 6. We arrived at 8:50pm on a Saturday night. We were sat upstairs by the hostess and we were ready to enjoy some drinks and good food. It became apparent very soon that we were being rushed and that our questions and taking our time to order was not appreciated by our waitress. We realized half way through our stay that the restaurant closed at 9pm. We did not know this and were sat so this should not have been an issue. We completed our orders and our food came within a short period of time. I got the shrimp and grits and my food was delicous. I can not say the same for my friends. Their food was cold, their mashed potatos were clumpy and obviously the bottom of the barrel of this side. When my one friend complained about her corn on the cob being frozen the waitress was not apologetic and frankly did not seem surprised. We finished our food while she waited for a new order of corn. The manager did come and apologize for the corn and took what a side of corn would be off the bill. Not too long after that the house lights came up and we were sitting there with full overhead lighting. It was an obvious sign that we were not to linger. My one friend went downstairs to the restroom and stopped to tell the manager that the raised lights were rude. He denied that it was done and argued with her about it. We checked out at 9:50 we were there an hour. Not a long time for a party of 6 we were not loud or lingering there was not reason for the waitress to be so rude and then for the manager to argue with us. It was obvious that we were not welcome, We were treated like just one more tourist table of women that will not be back. Shame on them. My friends frequent MB and have friends and family who own property there so they made a huge mistake. They and we will not return to this restaurant.

    The place is nice and the food was good, in my opinion nothing really stands out, everything was good but no wows. We had the spicy tuna wrap, aka sushi, I couldn't find it tasty, but my other family members thought it was ok. I had the crab cakes and there were more filling in them than crab, I've had better, they tasted fine but I would've appreciated more spices, nothing hot but flavor. The best dishes on our table was first the grilled salmon with creamy sauce and second the seared grouper with Cajun and creamy sauce. My son ordered crab legs and they ere pretty good, the red potatoes served with it were tasteless though, he ordered smashed potatoes instead of the sausages and it came with smoked Gouda cheese, it was delicious. Overall, 5 stars for location, and facility and character, 4 stars for server and guest greeting, and 3 stars for the food deliciousness. I would definitely come back here to try some of their other menu items.

    We were staying across the road on the beach and discovered this place. They have the best happy hour ever! The food is delicious and we ended up staying later than we wanted to. I wish they had the Megatouch game.... that would make it perfect! Will definitely be back!

  • Daniel S.

    This was a good spot. Lots of fresh fish options at reasonable prices. I had the Oahu, which was very good, as well as fresh sushi for an appetizer. The sushi was the best part of the whole meal. You can select your fish, and then select sauce, and mode of preparation. The meal was fairly boring, with just one side of string beans, although I was told they were local and fresh. The beer was a great deal. 2$ for Papst and 3$ for most others, in 20oz. pints!! There was a wide selection of mixed drinks, and the service was very good. You can also buy raw local fish here, which is very cool. And it is located right next door to the House of Blues, and near the Barefoot Golf Resort.

    Great atmosphere for family dining. I was told to stick to the appetizers and didn't listen like always. My daughter ordered the clam chowder as her main dish and only ate about 1/4 of it. Son ordered the New York strip which they where out of so he went for the rib eye and only ate about 1/2 of it. The waiter suggested the crab cake for the wife and she could only stomach about 1/4 of it. I went with the mussels and buffalo shrimp appetizers that everyone at the tabled enjoyed. Beer was cold and the appetizers where excellent, that is about all we can say. It won't be a place we revisit.

    We went here last night to try out a new place. Based on other Yelpers, it looked like a good option. It's a nice place, with a nod to Seattle's Pike Place Market. The seafood is fresh and on display as you walk to your table. They bring you smoked Wahoo dip and crackers to start. Very tasty & nice to see something besides hushpuppies or bread. We started with hushpuppies (we have a 6 y/o who never tires of them!) and buffalo shrimp. Thinking that they were the typical 6 medium sized shrimp in buffalo sauce w/blue cheese dressing. What a pleasant surprise to get a bowl full of small shrimp, lightly fried, tossed in buffalo sauce and sprinkled with crumbles of blue cheese and diced celery. Very tasty. Mr ordered steamed oysters, which he enjoyed and noted their saltiness. I ordered the Barefoot Sushi roll. It was good but not outstanding. For the main we ordered grouper. Mine grilled and his Cajun. They looked identical when they were served and the flavor was lacking. The fish, however was very good and w/o any powerful seasoning/preparation, the freshness was allowed to shine. The service was great-attentive, prompt and friendly. We'll definitely go back again-many things on the menu looked great and they had a nice selection of fresh seafood.

  • Tom G.

    Nice location. Mahi mahi obscenely salty for 3 of us. I sent mine back. Manager great. Took forever for new plate though. Better but still salty as hell. Manager said they may have overdone the seasoning a little. I love salt but this was beyond anything I've ever had. Great crab cakes, large portion. Rice and green bean sides overcooked and gross. There are so many seafood places in MB that it would be a shame to waste your few vacation dinners on this place. I give 2 stars only since fish is their thing and ours were terrible. Addendum I appreciate their professional reply. Clearly with so many positive reviews, I must have hit them on a bad day.

    Another yearly stop for us on our summer vacation. My wife always gets the crab legs and I always get the local's feast which is low country food. Love it! Large portion so come hungry. Good selection of draft beers too. Always busy so get there early.

    We were at North Myrtle Beach last week and ended up eating there three times for dinner. Two times at the bar to take advantage of happy hour pricing on appetizers and dinner and once in the dining room. All the meals were great. We had the seafood boil twice and ate it family style with 5 people we had the mussels, shrimp, clams and oysters and it was awesome. For appetizers we had the tuna roll, hushpuppies, calamari, raw oysters and more and it was all good. Three different servers who were all good as well as the food runners etc. The day we ate off the menu we had shrimp and grits, jambalaya, salmon and our non seafood eating son had the chicken. The managers were spot on Cici (CeCe?) we saw all three days working the room and attending to whatever needed done. We told her that we had eaten there all three times and they were very appreciative. We love non chain restaurants and will be making a return trip next time down. The mahi mahi complimentary appetizer was awesome as well. The over 21 kids enjoyed their micro brews that were happy hour priced as well. Each time we left, there was a wait / line for dinner. Nicely run place.

  • Dave M.

    Clam Chowder -OK Fresh Grouper with Cajun spice - First of all, the spice is a joke. NO flavor. The fish was hard, over cooked, dried out. It wasn't edible. Shrimp and grits - No seasoning on shrimp. No sauce. No sausage. Lumpy, clumpy grits. Overall, they don't have a clue about flavor or putting together a decent meal. They are all about volume. If you have any type of pallet, move on. In fact try Tommy Bahamas restaurant in Market Commons, it is completely the opposite at the same price level.

  • Mr. Foste R.

    Went for the Happy Hour and after looking at the menu decided to try that instead. You can still get happy hour drink prices though which is a bonus. I had the Jambalaya and it was amazing. Plump shrimp, generous chicken and sausage and it was spiced just right. My wife opted for the fish and chips and was happy with how fresh it was. My daughter had the fish and chips off the kids menu and it was also fresh and not processed which was nice to see. The red velvet cake for dessert was also a stand out. My daughter even got to toss a freshly caught fish to the fish counter guy and that was a big deal for her since she is six and everyone clapped for her. Overall a great experience.

    HAPPY HOUR IS AWESOME!!! The happy hour has a little bit for everyone. We personally had the spicy tuna roll, Gulf Oysters, Chicken Tenders, Sweet Potatoes fries,and the mussels (not on HH menu). Nothing on the HH menu was over 10dollars (including drinks). The margaritas were so flavorful and well balanced. You will have a good time for sure!! PS: The before meal smoked Mahi Mahi dip is soooo gooooooooood:) You can buy it to go...YaY

    The Flying Fish had a great atmosphere. We were seat pretty fast. We ordered the Calamari as an appetizer. It was not good. Very chewy and not that flavorful. We also ordered the rainbow trout that came with green beans and gouda smashed potatoes. The fish was okay nothing special. The green beans had no spices on them whatsoever all they needed was salt. That's a basic when cooking. But the smashed Potatoes were good, thick but good. There were no prices and very few choices. Only one side of a 10x13 menu.

  • Celia C.

    I had a hard time trying to decide what to have because the menu looked so good. I started with clam chowder which was very hearty but a bit too salty. The crab cakes were average. I wish I had gotten some of their fresh fish entrees instead. Side bar: they have an impressive happy hour menu of appetizers, sushi, and drinks.

    First time in MB, and so glad we chose this place. Dinner on Saturday night with a great view. Fresh grilled swordfish was amazing, and the hushpuppies were perfect. In fact, we went back for Sunday lunch the next day, and the market fish sandwich was just as good. Highly recommended.

    My girlfriend and I decided to try this place out based on reviews from both Yelp and from a random list of reviews we found in "Myrtle Beach Restaurant News". (There look to be some other good ones in there, too.) We're glad we did. We went for Happy Hour and being a Sunday I think helped a lot. The restaurant wasn't crowded at all (it became so later on though). The appetizers were quite tasty (boiled shrimp & a sushi roll) and the bartenders were all very friendly and prompt. Since it was early we didn't get to see too many fish flying, but a few kids did get to get in on the action towards dinner time! They shout as they toss the fish. At least one mom looked disgusted at the giant fish, but her daughter seemed to be having a blast! I decided to try a few of their beers and the white beer and lager both tasted a bit watered down, but the red ale was quite tasty. That's all a matter of personal taste though. Happy Hour went so well we decided to grab a table for dinner and invite my parents to join us. Our timing was a bit off on getting a table though as it took my parents a while to find the restaurant. I apologized to the waitress while we ordered drinks and an appetizer, but she didn't mind one bit and remained patient and as friendly as could be. We shared several main dishes: Trout, salmon & a low country boil plate. I would get any of them again. The trout might have been my favorite though. The view where we were seated overlooking the river towards sunset was very appealing as well. After dinner, you can wander around the shops and there is a Maggie Moos Ice Cream just a few doors down if you still somehow have room for dessert. This was a really good find and should I find myself in Myrtle again, I'll definitely be heading back here.

    I come here for the happy hour menu at the bar from 4-8. I wrote this restaurant off until I came to try HH a month ago. My previous dining experiences were mediocre at best but everything I have ordered from the HH menu has been great! Service is good at bar. Once tourist season begins I will take a hiatus from dining here because I am sure HH will end until winter.

  • Anthony C.

    We had a great time dining here. The staff are well informed, and are very friendly, but not too intrusive. The Fish Mongers are fun and very interactive with the guests as they throw the fish back and forth. The food is awesome! I had the shrimp risotto and my wife had the crab cakes. The bar specials are truly specials with cocktails at $5. We will definitely be back.

  • Scott H.

    My wife and I loved this place. In fact, we'll probably come back here one more night while we're in town on our long weekend getaway. Sit at the bar. The atmosphere is great. Service was very good and food was best. Gotta go as the night is still young and we're still having a blast at the bar. (P.S. Ask for Clayton. This guy was great. Super personable.)

  • A S.

    Yuck. I've read others' reviews. I especially giggle at the Yuppie who brags about his food choices and cars. That said, I would never eat here again. The wait was short enough, 30 minutes for 5 adults and 3 kids. They don't take reservations. I had sockeye salmon, which I eat a lot...and asked for it rare. The waitress told me they had to cook it to a specifc temperature. Alright. I get it. My kids had scallops because I refuse to feed my children off the kids menu. Typical kids food. Fried and fattening. Anyway I digress. My sister had fire grilled Grouper, the other one had Mahi, and quite frankly I have no idea what my husband ate or my brother in law ate. My fish was delivered to me in a timely fashion. It was the most overcooked hard,dry, rubbery edges piece of fish I've ever eaten. Look, I am not going to brag about myself and my high quality tastes or education ...But when we asked what was on the rice that evening, which was the side, the waitress responded "tomato paste, garlic, and salt." basically, the rice was served drenched in ketchup. Reading some of the reviews, you'd think that ketchup rice would just about put anyone over the "gross" edge. The bathrooms were disgusting. DISGUSTING. toilet paper and water on the floor and paper towels overflowing out of the garbage. The soap was empty. With bathrooms that filthy, you would think that at least the soap would be full so you could wash your hands. We definitely will not eat there again.

  • Kevin M.

    We ate here based off the good reviews here, and it being the highest rated restaurant on urban spoon. It looked promising when we arrived. I ordered the nut brown ale and thought it was a good beer for the price. The sweet potato appetizer was delicious. We decided to split the flying fish specialty for two. The crab legs were ok, but everything else was over cooked and bland. On top of the lackluster entree the staff was very unattentive, and missing when needed.

    Terrible! Soup was not good at all. Was supposed to be New England Clam. Had better from cans. Neither of us finished it. Fish tacos and nachos were no better, again we did not finished them.

  • Emily M.

    My family and I walked in during happy hour, wanting some decent seafood and not insane prices. We'd been trying to find a place that rated high, and wasn't going to be a massive tourist trap that provided lower quality food. The waitress pointed out the incredibly fresh fish that they use, and got us seated. We had Mahi-Mahi salad as a complementary appetizer. The service was quick and attentive, and our view was right on the water. I got the crab cakes entree, and the rest of the family got the fish and chips. The crab cakes were light and delicious, and I got four on the plate, which was a surprise. The fish and chips were also light, and apparently also really good. We were also tempted to get the Grouper sandwich, which looked amazing, but also massive. The guy sitting near us sat there, looking at it for a few moments, trying to figure out how he was even going to eat it. The prices for entrees start around $9 and go up to around $30, depending on if you get a regular entree or a catch of the day, but the portions are huge as well. You're definitely getting your money's worth, and the food is high quality.

    Try the fish nachos, really enjoyed these. Grilled fish and shrimp piled high with great tasting chips, not the regular corn chips either, black beans and queso YUM. Cheap beer. I'm pretty sure the place was closed but they seated and took out orders anyway!!!

    Great spot for fresh seafood. We went here one day at 5 PM during our Myrtle Beach stay, as we had tickets for the evening show at the Alabama Theatre next door. The interior is modern, open, well lit and very clean, all of which contributes to a pleasant atmosphere. They also have a fish market to the right as you walk in, so you are able to view many of the fresh selections. We had a large party (6 adults, 5 kids), but they were able to seat us immediately at this early hour. Decent kids menu, but I prefer to see more seafood options on it at a seafood restaurant than what they offered. The adult menu afforded many options ranging from sandwiches to higher end selections such as Lobster and steak. Not surprisingly, they seem to place a focus on the fish, as they offer a number of different methods for its preparation. Basically, the menu prices range from about $10-$30, with a few items coming in at $40+. Service was top notch. For appetizers, we tried the Fried Calamari and Loaded Sweet Potato Fries. Both were excellent. The calamari was served with a sweet, mildly spicy chili sauce for dipping which pleased me greatly. I have given up on ordering fried calamari in most restaurants, as I am tired of the same stale side of marinara that is frequently served with it. This sauce was a very nice compliment to the fresh, not 'rubberized', perfectly breaded squid. The sweet potato fries were amazing. They are covered with both bleu cheese crumbles and dressing. If you do stop here to eat, I highly recommend these, as I have not seen the like elsewhere. I wasn't terribly hungry this evening, so I opted for an appetizer as my entree. I ordered the Seafood Nachos. And this is why I am not giving Flying Fish five stars. It arrived cold and looked very unappealing. As for everybody else, their food arrived hot and was reportedly delicious. So, for the most part, I will consider this an aberration possibly due to the size of our party. I sent them back and changed my order to the Fish Tacos, which were quite good. But (and this impressed me), since they obviously had to prepare the tacos while the rest of my party ate, the manager personally delivered about a dozen freshly steamed and very large shrimp to me so I would not be the only one who was not eating. Very classy move. It should also be noted that the fried grouper sandwich, which was ordered and enjoyed by a party member, was outstanding. I live on the gulf coast of florida and we take pride in our grouper down here. But this was a huge piece of fish, perfectly fried with a delectable crust. If you are in Myrtle and looking for good seafood, good atmosphere and a wide range of options, check out Flying Fish

    Wonderful decor with excellent water views. We came for lunch and got the mahi mahi and salmon. Fish and sides of rice and green beans were great. Very fresh. Was a little pricey for lunch but you get what you pay for and the quality and freshness of the food was worth it.

    Went for Happy Hour and the drinks were meh. My husband (the brewer and beer head) ordered the IPA and it was kegged improperly resulting in too much gas - when he brought it to the waitresses attention she was rude about it. My parents tried the calamari and it was not well done. The Margarita was lacking alcohol. The only OK thing was the Cooper River Red. Wouldn't recommend or return.

    We had a good time at the Flying Fish. We arrived at 6:15pm on a Thursday night and waited about 15 mins for a table for two (first available). We ended up being seated outside which was only half full... So I'm not quite sure why it took so long to be seated. Our waitress was friendly and the atmosphere was nice. We ordered the three different appetizers and they were all good. We were a bit surprised that the nachos used tortilla flour chips instead of regular chips (my wife cannot eat glutten) but other than that everything was as expected. The prices were reasonable and every dish I saw (even on other tables) looked really good. The restaurant is like a nicer and more unique version of Bonefish. I would like to go back next time we are in Myrtle Beach.

    I don't usually give 5 stars, but for this area (N. Myrtle Beach, SC), this place is the best my wife and I could find during our weeklong vacation in N. Myrtle Beach, without having to drive for more than 20 minutes. The in-house beers were quite tasty (we sampled the White Ale and the Nut Brown Ale), the food was perfectly prepared, just the way we had ordered (which was all the better, since they were extremely busy the night we were there), and the wait staff were prompt and sweet (Brittany was great with all of our questions). Definitely would recommend this place to anyone visiting (or living) in N. Myrtle Beach who is a bit pickier than most (like I am), and who is not looking for the all-you-can-eat seafood buffets. The Yellowfin Tuna dish that we shared was absolutely perfect, and the cheddar mashed potatoes were a nice complimentary side dish. Definitely quality food and beer here. Give it a try! -Mike from Washington, DC

    Place was nice, good to see fresh fish. My wife and I had the calamari, Tilapia, and Mahi. The calamari was ok, the breading was a bit tough on some pieces but not bad. The Mahi w/butter and lemon sauce was alright but not as flavorful as I would have liked. The red rice and green beans on the side were great. The Tilapia (cajun style) was great and very flavorful. All in all a good experience, would have to eat here again and try other dishes for further review.

    I went there a few days ago with a group of girlfriends. We started at the bar for happy hour and we all got their signature margaritas. They were delicious! And at $4 during happy hour they were a great deal. They also have appetizer specials, we got the hushpuppies and the chipotle shrimp dip, both were scrumptious! Dinner was wonderful, the fish was very fresh and the Gouda mashed potatoes were awesome. The service was friendly and fun, and we got to throw the fish! Definitely a great place for families and adults alike.

    Went here for lunch and it was outstanding. Arrived at noon on a Tuesday in August. Lunch meals were priced around $8-$9 which was for a large sandwich, fries, and slaw. Drinks were extra. Got a $5 coupon at the information desk in the shopping area. Portions were huge, and the food was very good. They also brought out some sort of fish dip and cracker thing when we sat down. It was like tuna but much much better. Man was it good. The coleslaw was also outstanding. Very dry which I liked a lot. If you like it runny and sloppy, then you'll hate this coleslaw. There was a great view of the water, bathrooms were clean, and service was fast. They also had plenty of space to park the strollers. I'm not sure what the other restaurants are like at Barefoot, but I can't imagine them being any better than this. Again, this is especially true considering the prices.

    We had reservations so there was no wait. The hush puppies and shrimp dip we ordered as appetizers were ok, nothing special. The shrimp and grits were great, as was the flying fish specialty (steamed seafood). Our server was very nice. Nice place to go with family.

  • Gary C.

    We've been eating at the Flying Fish every couple of weeks since it opened. The service has always been good and on many occasions outstanding. The seafood is fresh and having the fish market in the restaurant is a nice touch. They always have a wide selection of fresh fish and can prepare the fish to your tastes. Happy hour is outstanding with discounted appetizers, drinks, and their house beers. Overall, this is a great restaurant.

    Repeat customer & this time we brought another family with us. We haven't been disappointed yet! Food was perfect! Service was great! They refilled everyone's drinks including the kids without us having to look for them. Fish was fresh, raw oysters were so fresh & yummy! We saw a fee little girls throw one of the large fishes from the fridge to one of the guys behind the counter. No she didn't drop it. We will be back!

    Very good food and very reasonably priced! We would definitely choose this restaurant over any buffets in Myrtle Beach. We were there in the off season (end of February) on a Saturday night earlyish, there was no wait. Great drink specials before 8pm, service was great, food delish!! Should have tried the sweet potato fries as someone suggested, seafood nachos would have been better with regular tortilla chips, not a fan of the flour chips!

    There are two listings for this restaurant, and the other one has, to my mind, more accurate reviews. It's at least worth reading both entries. The food here is fine, and, if it were half the price, the restaurant would be worth going to. The poblano shrimp dip appetizer sounded wonderful and was boring--how do you make something with those ingredients boring? The fried oysters were very good, and the fried tilapia and shrimp were pretty good, but the flounder on the specials menu was uninteresting, and the rice and green beans that came on the side were apparently rescued from a microwave dinner. The hush puppies were pretty tasty--I should have ordered a plate of those (which is possible, as an appetizer). The draught pale ale had a nice flavor--a little too creamy for my taste, but maybe I'm unfairly biased against nitrogen in my beer. My wife had a watermelon margarita--it's the kind of place that serves watermelon margaritas. We sat outside on the deck overlooking the water, which was a nice place to sit. We got there very early and had our pick of tables; by the time we left--which was still embarrassingly early for dinner--there was already a 45-minute wait. It's certainly not worth that.

    I couldn't get my family to make the drive south to Murrel's Inlet so I had to look for someplace closer to N. Myrtle beach to find good seafood. This place was a good choice. The food was fresh, the portion was just right and everything I had tasted great. I started with some jumbalaya (they were out of clam chowder) and had the mixed grill entree- scallops, salmon, and shrimp. The scallops were really good, maybe the best I've had out to eat, and the rest was just a step behind but still good. I also had some of the crab cakes which were also good but not the best ever. Still I walked out very happy and full. Maybe the best part was the beer, as Flying Fish is a brewery and they had their beers on tap so you don't have to drink all the same tired taps you get everywhere else. No growlers for sale tho :-(

  • Lisa R.

    This place was ok. The atmosphere was nice. Clean. Attractive. Fish market theme was cool. I noticed there were some guys entertaining some guests by throwing a huge grouper back and forth by the seafood counter. In the Ladies restroom they had a complimentary salt scrub out to try on your hands. Always like things like that. Service was a little slow. Our waitress was friendly though. Food. We had the shrimp dip for an appetizer. It was good. Would have liked something other than fried flour tortillas to dip. For our meals my boyfriend had the blackened flank steak over risotto and I had the jerk chicken. We had side salads as well. The salads were good mine had pecans and goldfish crackers which was makes points with me. Both of us thought our meat was very good but the sides were a bit disappointing. Veggies too soft. Rice bland. I liked the mango salsa on my chicken. So we had some good food and some blah food. Not a total loss.

    Great seafood place at Barefoot Landing. Nice atmosphere and good water views from the back of the restaurant. We visited kind of early on a weekday and there was no wait. We ordered hushpuppies and buffalo shrimp as appetizers. The hushpuppies arrived hot and fresh and were accompanied by cinnamon honey butter. They were ball shaped and nicely browned with typical hushpuppy flavor with just a hint of onion. The buffalo shrimp was awesome. We were served a good sized dish with about two dozen or so popcorn shrimp lightly battered and fried and tossed with an ample amount of buffalo sauce. Mixed in was chopped celery and bits of blue cheese. The buffalo was spicy and flavorful without overpowering the shrimp. There was enough chunks of blue cheese and celery to balance out the flavor. For our next course I had 1/2 dozen raw oysters and the wife and some sushi. I'm not sure what roll it was but it was decent enough for a non-sushi place. The oysters were average. Nothing special. The price was right for 1/2 dozen at $4.95 and they were good sized. For dinner I had the grouper with cajun seasoning. It's normally served with parmesan rice and fresh green beans. I substituted their gouda smashed potatoes for the rice. The fish was also served with a jalapeño chutney that I got on the side. I'll start with the beans. They were served fresh and al dente. Flavor was ok. They needed a little salt and pepper. The gouda smashed potatoes were outstanding. A very worthwhile substitution. The gouda paired nicely with the potatoes and gave them a great smoky flavor. The fish was fresh and well cooked but lacked any real flavor. I ended up heaving to order some cocktail sauce and used a touch of Tabasco sauce to kick it up a little. A little salt and pepper helped too. Serving size was generous. Overall a good meal and I would return.

    Great atmosphere, great food. Drinks are pricey, but what do you expect at the beach? The felt good after two dirty shirleys :) The menu has a lot to offer. They have fresh market fish, plenty of entree options including sandwiches and salads as well as a sushi bar. I ordered the sea bass grilled with the honey lime butter and mango salsa on the side. My boyfriend ordered the tilefish cajun style with the honey lime butter. If I can give one word of advice - it would be to order the honey lime butter with whatever you have. This stuff was like crack...we are still talking about it. We went on a Saturday night - the place was busy, but we were able to find seats at the bar for a pre-dinner cocktail and were seated approximately 15 minutes later. Melissa was our server and she was fantastic. Very helpful and sweet. Two entrees, two drinks and an appetizer of baked oysters cost us $85, but it was worth it!

    We decided to try out Flying Fish based on yelpers reviews. There was a wait, but it was brief and they staff entertains by putting on a fish market show, educating observers about the fish and tossing them while yelling "heave-ho" (or something like that). There were 4 adults and 4 children at our table. The kids were provided with the usual crayons and activity page/menu which is always appreciated. We're all pretty split on our meals. My sister-in-law and I thought the seafood nachos were ok. My brother raved about his grouper and his calamari app. I loved my fish tacos. The kids all liked the fries but their main dishes from the kids menu were disappointing. That said, I'd give it a second chance and order the fish tacos again. The three different in-house beers were all yummy.

    Happy hour 4-7 in the bar area is one heck of a deal. $1 PBR and $3.50 for 6 oysters on the half shell! We tried the calamari - a 7 rating - cooked more than I liked. The 1/2 rack of ribs for $7.50 were relish! This is a really nice place and a great experience.

    Oh my gosh everything was so good!! We had: key lime martini, peach sangria, brown ale, and the key west margarita for drinks. Happy hour made them super affordable!

For dinner I had the best crab cakes I've ever tasted, my husband had tilefish caught right off the coast in South Carolina. Great service!! Fast and friendly!

  • Damon W.

    As posted, the name is wrong. Went with the wife and three year old on a Thursday evening. Not crowded given it being the off season. Nice looking place with a well appointed bar. Staff were very pleasant and good with the kid. Started off with raw oysters on the half shell and fried pickles. The oysters were a tad undersized but it's not their season; also very briney but in a good way. Pickles were quartered and all three of us enjoyed. Wife had salmon which was properly cooked and she enjoyed. I had the seafood steamer which I call a pot (crab clusters, shrimp, mussels, mud bugs and sausage). Good sized portion with large shrimp and mussels. The snow crab was also well sized and very tasty. Only issue was this particular pot was supposed to come with a king cluster and a snow cluster but mine came with two snows. Didn't think about it till later but I was stuffed anyway. Had a a good pale ale draft and the wife had two glasses of wine. Kid's menu is basic and should satisfy most. Price came to $88 without the tip which I thought to be a very good portion/taste to value ratio for the beach. Also, being from SC, I enjoy fresh steamed/boiled seafood to their fried counterparts. Although many restaurants in the area cater to fried seafood, I was impressed with the number of choices and taste of the raw/steamed items that I ordered.

    The service was excellent. Very friendly and helpful. After putting our name in, we got to watch these two boys throwing fish as though they were fish mongers themselves. It was very neat!! The local beer selection was very tasty. The atmosphere was very lively and welcoming. The food was excellent. The four of us split the buffalo shrimp and seafood nachos (which both were hearty portions) and were absolutely to die for. My husband and I split the flying fish special steam platter and could only eat one third of it together since we had the appetizers and I had the Liberty Sushi roll (VERY YUMMY!!). It came with steamed clams, muscles, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn on the cob, and topped with an abundance of crab legs. The couple we were with had fish and chips and the crab cake dish. Between the two appetizers we split, their food and ours, we were easily taking home food. We all wished we would have got the two apps and the four of us split the steamer. It would be nice if the waitstaff could guide the guests on portion sizes while ordering. This will be a must stop on our next visit to Myrtle beach!!

    We eat here every time we're in NMB and have never had anything but outstanding meals. The fish is as fresh as you could ask for and the sides are terrific. As someone else said, the hushpuppies are guilding the lily. We tried the fish nachos for the 1st time tonight and they absolutely sang in my mouth-the fish was sooo fresh and the tortillas (homemade) were some of the best I've ever tasted-even in Mexican restaurants. And don't miss the sweet potato fries appetizer-it's another meal in itself. Our last 2 visits we had a lovely, attentive server named Ann, just enough attention without being overbearing. You won't go wrong if you go for a dinner for two or 20. The only semi negative thing I could say is the place is noisy-but I look at it as high spirited.

    First time eating here. Went with my golf foursome on Saturday night while in Myrtle. Loved the atmosphere in this place. Customer service was friendly and perky. Have to give credit to the young girls for handling the large crowd with a smile. Wait was promised for 15 minutes, and they delivered. Had a spicy tuna roll as my appetizer. It was good, but didn't stand out from any other sushi I have eaten. Decided to keep it simple and go with the fried shrimp dinner. Shrimp and the slaw were really good. The rice I selected was not so good (not sure what their rice was, but still better than eating French Fries AND fried shrimp). We sat upstairs and had a nice view over the lower bar level. Great view in the other direction as well looking out over the waterway. There is outdoor seating as well. Enjoyed the atmosphere and ambiance of this restaurant. I thought prices here were reasonable. Prices were in line with Bimini's, and this place was way nicer inside with its atmosphere. Hope to return one day.

    Great deals during Happy Hour - it's hard to get a drink around North Myrtle Beach without laying out some major dough, but Flying Fish's cocktails are generally pretty cheap. It's definitely a tourist haven, but Myrtle Beach really isn't the greatest place to have a "unique" dining experience of any kind. Flying Fish has a great atmosphere and great -tasting food, and is a good place to bring kids and spend time with family. The waitstaff was extremely friendly and efficient, so I'd pretty much recommend this place to anybody.

  • Tammy D.

    The best meal of out week long stay in Myrtle beach. We ordered a variety of dishes: clam chowder, fish market sandwich, soft shell crab BLT and the flying fish special (a crab boil for two). Everything that we had was fresh and delicious. The chowder was full of calms rather than potatoes and very flavorful. The sandwiches were stuffed full of fish and crab, and not over whelmed by the bread-to-fish ratio. I assume that the crab boil but I can't confirm because my SO ate with his elbows sticking out. We also had a spicy tuna roll, but wouldn't recommend it. It did not taste very frehs, and the rice was not well seasoned. Honestly should have known better than to order Japanese cuisine in a seafood place. I would definitely make this a must if we ever go back to SC.

    After a complete shopping failure for our planned dinner tonight, we decided to try this place based on the good reviews. It was around 6:30 by the time we got there and we were told it was a 45 minute to an hour wait. Thanks to "Lynn" who apparently chose not to wait for his or her table, we got moved up the queue and were seated in about 25 minutes. I was a little worried about the atmosphere because it seemed really loud while we were waiting but once we were seated upstairs, it was fine. They start by delivering complimentary Mahi Mahi dip with saltine-type crackers. It was a bit like whitefish salad and pretty good. My BIL ate it with a fork when we ran out of crackers. :) We ordered the basket of hushpuppies as an appetizer and they got rave reviews around the table but with the qualifications that "deep fried rubber bands" would also be good. They're served with honey butter which made my sister kind of go all Homer-y (she did stop just shy of drooling). Mom got the shrimp and grits which was freakin' amazing. I did not pick up her bowl after she finished and lick it out but I considered it. A few people at the table (not me) thought it might be too rich but three of us decided she won the dinner raffle. Sister number 1 got the fire roasted trout and thought it was excellent but the Asian glaze she got with it fell a little Flat. She asked for the habanero chutney instead and that was delicious - spicy and sweet. Sister number 2 got fire roasted tile fish with herb cream sauce. She found it to be a little rare and would have liked it cooked more. It was also a bit bland but after a couple of shakes of salt and pepper considered it worthy of recommendation. My BIL got the cornmeal sautéed wreckfish. He said it was delicious but did not actually lick the plate. (Of course he was helping mom eat her shrimp and grits too so...) The fish and chips was very good but I ended up spending most of my time envying my mother her shrimp and grits. The little one got fish sticks which ended up circling the table and were deemed better than my fried fish. They're not your typical frozen formed fish stick things - they're actually real fish. Our server Devin was terrific. She was extremely knowledgable about the menu and the various fish they offered. She even noticed that I needed a drink refill before I did which, to me, is the trademark of a good server. She was so good that the little one gave her TWO of his stickers! We got two slices of pecan pie for dessert and it was possibly life-altering. Basically, we left here so happy that we've decided that we might have to go back tomorrow...

    I came here with a friend of mine and we enjoyed the ambience and the apparent action of an actual fish flying through the air in the marketplace. We attended happy hour, ordered appetizers, and dinner and still spent next to nothing. The server brings a complimentary fish dip, very good! I ordered the oysters on a half shell (CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS EVER) and my friend ordered hush puppies which came with a cinnamon butter sauce. Very good, I might add! We ordered the same entree, soft shell crab BLT. It was good, though the crab was microscopic :(. Also, the sandwich had no remoulade or aioli sauce to bring out the flavor, it was relatively dry. Luckily, I am always prepared to "jazz up" my food to my liking while there. I added lemon juice, and some of the side cole slaw to my sandwich. This made for a better experience but a house-sauce on this sandwich would have surely resulted in a five star rating from me. Other than that, the service was great, the atmosphere was exciting, and the company was lovely:).

    Great place! Great happy hour. I understand they do only have it "off season." I tried the Angel Food Martini. I was like eating cake...with a punch! They gave us a complimentary sample of smoked Mahi dip. It was really good. Great raw oysters. Steamed clams were good. Clam Chowder was very good. Key Lime Pie was good, I'll ask for it without the lime drizzle next time. (A little over bearing) They have a fish market where you can buy fresh fish to take home. We are definitely going back.

    What a treat our dinner at Flying Fish was! I was a bit concerned that this place would prove to be too "touristy." ( Although I am a visitor from up North, I really prefer a quality "local" meal than a meal catering to tourists). I am sure, because of its location, that this place must get packed, but since we were here at the tail end of summer, our large party of 10 was seated immediately. The menu offers some standard seafood fare, but where it seems to excel is with the daily fresh catch menu, including a choice of how it is prepared. Tonight's list included salmon, grouper, tilefish, mahi mahi, and a few others I can't even recall. I opted for the mahi, sautéed in cornmeal, with honey-lime butter. Delicious, tender, well-prepared! My sis ordered tilefish, which the waiter described as tasting like shellfish; my sister said the waiter was right on target, and also was very happy. Since I didn't care for one of the sides offered with my meal, our server gladly swapped it out for another. He did the same for many in our party. I chose the sweet potato fries (yum), and my husband and sis chose the Gouda mashed potatoes (double yum). Overall, this was a great dining experience, with great food, a fantastic waiter (Robert), and a relaxed atmosphere. I will return for sure! Oh, if you are lucky enough to see that blackberry lemonade is the drink of the week...order it! So refreshing.

    Went there for the Boil Pot and ended up loving everything. Very friendly wait staff. Food was awesome and they offer a very nice selection for GF menu. Only downside is they served the entrees before we had finished our appetizers so was a little cool by the time we got to eat them. Drinks were yumpcious.

    His place was the best! Sat us quickly even though we were 9 people and loved the look of the resturant. Wait staff and managers walking around were super friendly and helpful. Chris and CC came and spoke with us and we had some good laughs with he,. Very friendly. The food was terrific! Omg the crab legs were huge, meaty, and sweet! The rest of our meals were so good. Scallops, grouper, coconut shrimp, everything was terrific! And they really throw fish around! So cool, entertaining and fun. Great place not to be missed!

    Amazing customer service. Delicious foods and scrumptious drinks. Highly recommended. I came with 3 kids under 10 and they loved all the food as well! However I recommend coming early as they are busy especially on weekends!!

    Food was amazing! I talked to my waitress about cajun season for my snapper. She gave me her opinion. Once i got my food christina our waitress followed up after first bite asking if seasoning was too much or too light. She recomended something and took pride! Awesome!

    We went for lunch around noon on Sunday and were happy to be seated right away on the second floor with a very nice view of the water. The smoked mahi mahi dip that came out first was good. We also ordered grilled swordfish and shrimp and grits that were very good. The server was friendly and attentive and the prices are what you would expect to pay in the area. It can be a challenge to find a good meal in Myrtle Beach. This is a place we would return to on our next trip.

  • Ben W.

    Came on a crowded Wednesday evening, two of us were seated in about ten minutes. Waitress was very friendly but it took about another ten minutes to get drinks. Appetizer came out after another ten minutes. Finally after 45 minutes we received our order-- this would have been a 4 star review otherwise. Menu is limited and food was just okay albeit somewhat expensive, wouldn't recommend to friends.

    Our favorite fish place in Myrtle Beach. Great atmosphere overseeing the river at Barefoot Landing. Fresh fish everyday prepared in several ways to fit your tastes. The sushi and rolls are the freshest we've had at Myrtle Beach and prepared with tons of spices and flavor (try the spicy tuna roll). I love the hushpuppies and my wife loves the fried pickles as appetizers. Great date night, but I'd leave the kids at home.

  • Richard J.

    A little touristy but delicious nonetheless. Be careful it's really easy to fill up on crackers and Mahi Mahi spread. Waitstaff is usually pretty busy but they come by often. I ordered the swordfish and was cooked perfectly to the point of being flaky but not dry. The orange chutney was tasty with a little kick to it. I wish they had one of these by my house.

    Excellent food & service. The food is fresh and prepared just right. If you like hush puppies, you'll love them at Flying Fish.

  • Ron B.

    Arrived about 6pm and only waited about ten minutes. The place is large and they move the people through there. We had the fried seafood platter which was standard fare. My son got a burger which was large and he enjoyed it. The place is casual dining and the noise level is a little high. The dining area faces a canal with condos and boat docks. The portions were large and were very full when we left. We would most likely go back.

  • Francesca E.

    The reviews are absolutely correct! The food is just fantastic! Our party of six ordered three apps. We started with the seafood nachos, buffalo shrimp, and the basket of hush puppies. The nachos were topped with tiny shrimp, grilled fish, and all the normal fixins that come on nachos. Very flavorful. Could have used more cheese, but not a major issue for me. The buffalo shrimp was super yummy and did NOT taste heavily fried. And finally the hush puppies were great with the cinnamon butter that came with it. For our dinner, I shared the Flying Fish Specialty. And when they say its enough for 2, it could easily feed 3. The crab legs, jumbo shrimp, the mussels and the little neck clams might have been the best I've ever had. There was no way my boyfriend and I could finish it! The only reason we have it 4 out 5 was that the initial interaction with the hostesses was very underwhelming. They seemed inconvenienced that our party had not arrived and were a little too happy to inform us we'd have to wait for them to arrive before being seated. Another small issue was that our waitress seemed to disappear midmeal. We did have a a manager check on us but we never saw him again either. This will definitely be a place we return to the next time we head down Myrtle Beach.

  • Kim B.

    The service was impeccable and all food was delicious. I had the shrimp and grits and the hubby had jambalaya and both were cooked perfectly. Happy hour drink specials each day and a drink of the week all priced well. I took one star away because the restaurant was extremely cold. We will definitely come back again on our next trip.

  • Riskey L.

    This was our first time here and I was very impressed! Food and service were both excellent. The kids loved watching boats and wave runners go by on the water. We got hush puppies as an appetizer and the butter they serve with it is simply too good to be true! My wife and I split the seafood feast that's recommended for two people. The crab legs were downright perfect. So easy to crack open and get the meat out and they tasted soooo good. The clams and shrimp were good too. I'm not a big seafood fan, but the mussels were amazingly good. My son even liked them and he usually goes nowhere near seafood. I also had to keep him from stealing our crab legs! For any craft brew lovers, I would recommend their nut brown ale. One of the best I have ever tasted and it was only $2.50 a draft! Sweet beer at a sweet price! Our waitress was great! Super friendly and always there whenever we needed a refill or plates cleared. Definitely will be coming back next year.

    Drinks were tasteless. Even the olives in the martini had no flavor. Tried two different margaritas that were so bad I ended up with water. How do you make a bad tasteless drink? Ribs were good, iceberg salad was good, but then again how do you mess that up. Waitress was so busy talking to friends at the table next to ours that we had to wait for her to glance up to get her attention. I would say that of the 40 minutes we were there she talked to them 30.

  • Linda M.

    Excellent food! Smoked fish and crackers complimentary appetizer is really good. Next course from happy hour menu was a rib stack (1/2 slab of ribs cut in pieces $7) and a basket of hush puppies ($3.50) paired with local beers ($2.50). Next, hubby and I split a fried seafood platter of shrimp, scallops, and flounder ($21.95). Flounder was not great (a little fishy tasting), shrimp were wonderful, but the standout here was the huge scallops -some of the sweetest and most succulent we have ever had! Comes with good coleslaw, three hush puppies and enough French fries to feed my entire family! Will definitely return and order just the scallops on this plate! Waiter, James, was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Our table mates had calamari appetizer, followed by grilled mahi, rice, and vegetables. They said everything was really good.

  • Larry G.

    While vacationing in Myrtle Beach, I needed some great seafood so I chose to come here even though it's located in a relatively touristy area. We arrived just at the start of happy hour (4pm) and ordered the hushpuppies, calamari, classic chicken sandwich, and the jambalaya. Everything was great and at half price for drinks and apps, you couldn't beat the price. I couldn't eat the hushpuppies and butter quickly enough and the jambalaya was packed with flavor from the sausage and shrimp. Overall I would highly recommend and look forward to returning if I am in the area again.

    Wow what a find, appears to be a popular place with having a 30 minute wait once my wife and I got there. Seated upstairs and had a wonderful view of the marina behind the restaurant. The food was outstanding, starters the maui-maui with crackers was delicious (free starter) we went ahead and got fried cucumbers that as well was delicious. Seafood platter and ribeye both were delicious. I mean even the sweet tea was great .. The entire experience was great and will surely come back when we are in town.

    I went to the Flying Fish yesterday for my pre-bachlorette party dinner. It was AMAZING! To start they quoted us 30 min for a table for our party, it took 7 minutes. The hostess was even chatting us up while walking us to our table. Then as we were walking to the table (on the water) the sushi chef jumped in front me and started joking around by PRETENDING to unbutton his shirt (he didn't really) and then told me congrats. Then our server was GREAT! Just overall amazing service. FOOD was excellent! I can't wait to take my fiancée there! As we were leaving the sushi chef stopped me and my group and handed me gloves. Why gloves you ask?! Well I put the gloves on and then he handed me a HUGE whole fish. He got behind the counter and then made me throw the fish at him. I was so nervous I would drop it and that's a lot of money!! But I successfully threw the fish and he caught it. Then he threw a fake fish at my friend who caught it, but she thought it was real at first cause he even grabbed it from by the ice! Just overall one of the best dining experiences I have EVER had!!

    Are there earlier this week and had a great meal. We ate early in the afternoon so they were naturally not busy. Great setting, service was great and good was really good. Cajun style salmon for me and my wife had crab cakes which were really moist and delicious. Overall great meal and reasonably priced. Definitely recommend it for those visiting.

    We loved loved the boil! The shrimp and mussels were awesome. I also got an order if hush puppies. The cinnamon butter is so good. I can't find hush puppies in CA so I always get my fix here. This is my second trip to myrtle beach and I've come here both times. Great service. We sat at the bar because there was no waiting. I will definitely come back the next time we are in town.

  • Christel W.

    This was a very good place as well. We were seated right away in an area with a great view. The food was very good and so was the service. I ordered crab legs and shrimp. My sons ordered dessert. We really enjoyed our food. My fave part was the fish being tossed back and forth between the fish market workers and customers. I guess that's why it's called "flying" fish! Will return!

  • Betsy T.

    I happened upon this place while trying to maneuver around one of the many bike gatherings during bike week on Sat. May 17th. Fortunately, I arrived early (@4:45pm) as it was very busy as I left. I was specifically looking for crab legs and I was SO happy that they had them on the menu. The portion was huge and they were some of the best snow crab legs I've ever had. My server was so sweet (sorry I forgot her name). I also overheard other diners around me saying how fresh tasting and good their meals were too. I plan on going back before I leave for some fresh fish. I don't drink amymore, but they have a great selection of beers from local breweries and a very nice bar area. Recommend highly.

  • Lisa S.

    Stopped in for lunch, great picks. Only problem, wasabi cream sauce on tuna tacos- loads of wasabi! If you're not a fan, ask for other sauces. Also serves local brewery brew. I'm a firm believer in local supporting local. Also has a fresh fish market. Worth a try if you're in the area. We'll be back.

    Thanks, Yelp, for helping us find a great dinner place! The watermelon margarita was tart and bright, the fish dip appetizer was great, and the fresh fish was terrific.

    I came here yesterday with my sister, Mom, and a friend of my Mom's. We met for lunch as we had come by the other day and saw that they have a special lunch menu for $6. Out server immediately greeted is with a complimentary sample of their Mahi Mahi dip. It was very good. Three of us ordered the grilled chicken salad from the lunch menu and we were all satisfied. It had a good portion of chicken on it as well as bacon, cheese, goldfish for croutons, onions, and tomatoes. My Mom ordered a Cajun salmon wrap which was also on the lunch menu. She enjoyed hers as well. My mother hadn't seen her friend for awhile so we sat gabbing at the table for over 2 hours and our server didn't seem to care at all. He was very sweet and continued to refill our drinks even after we had paid our bill. There were several other options on the lunch menu and the regular menu looked good as well. The atmosphere is very cool and you can sit outside along the water. We will definitely be back!

  • Susan G.

    Seating in the bar area is first come, first serve so we sat at the marble countertop facing the kitchen. It lacks a view of the water, but we didn't have to wait to be seated. They start you with a fish dip and crackers, but it needed salt. We both had the steamed shrimp and sausage plate. The corn was sweet and very tasty. The sausage was in small slices rather than chunks, but still good. Not too spicy either. The shrimp were big and plump. However the red potatoes were undercooked. Our server gladly replaced them, which rounded out the meal nicely. A bonus to the kitchen view was watching the sushi chef at work as well as the "flying fish". It kind of reminded me of the fish market in Seattle. The service was great and we would definitely return.

  • Jeff B.

    Good, fresh seafood. If ya get fish make sure to get the "habanero-orange chutney" as a topper... it was awesome. They also do a pretty good job with the portion sizes of food. It is a little pricey, but it should be expected considering the location, and what kind of restaurant it is. Be prepared for long waits for a table but the service once you are in has been consistently stellar the few times we have been while vacationing in Myrtle.

  • Kelly R.

    This place was yummy! All the seafood is fresh. I would skip the fried jumbo shrimp though. It was just ok. However, my husband had the locals feast. It was great! Lots of crab!! All the seafood was amazing! Before we ordered the server brought out a smoked mahi mahi dip with some crackers and that was fantastic. Pumpkin cheesecake was sooooo good. The whipped cream was unlike any I have ever had. I wanted to order a bowl of whipped cream! Our server, Mackenzie, was very attentive. The service was incredible. If I lived here I would eat here all the time.

  • Renee D.

    I've been coming here for years and it is always fantastic. This time we came in for happy hour and dinner. The happy hour specials were amazing. Prices range from 3-7 for both drinks and food. We ordered hush puppies, ribs, tuna roll, California roll and shrimp. Family ordered cool drinks ranging from sangria margarita to a peach margarita. We were full before dinner came. For dinner I got the Alaskan Crab legs. It was delicious. Kid friendly.

  • Katrina P.

    We came here on vacation and loved it! Great beer options including an apricot ale I loved. Happy hour deals from 4-7 are great too. There's food for everyone from sushi to burgers to seafood. You can even catch a fresh fish with your bare hands for evening entertainment - the staff is upbeat and friendly helping patrons to have an awesome time!

  • Amanda H.

    Food was great and a great value. We came for lunch so got lunch specials. You get a good bit of food and it is really yummy. Our server wasn't the greatest but from what I could tell from over hearing others it just seems like we didn't get the best. He wasn't horrible but he didn't inform us of specials or the fish of the day and we had to ask for refills. Other than that everything was great! He did bring us to go drinks though.

    We have visited Flying Fish Public Market & Grill numerous times and each time the party had mixed feelings about their experience. First I want to emphasize their outstanding service. I would give it a six if I could. They bent over backwards to accommodate my 91 year old mother-in-law tonight. I can not say enough about heir attention to our group and the cheerful, knowledgable service we received. Sadly, our food was mixed. I shared the steamed Flying Fish Feast with my nephew and it was very good. Three in our party did not consider their grouper to be very good. The mixed reviews on the food have been our experience on each visit. Usually it is a fish that seems to under-deliver. The service is always outstanding, the ambiance is lively and loud. Very festive and alive.

  • Katie B.

    All I can say is yummy!!! What a fantastic place to go for seafood in a casual, friendly locale. We loved the free appetizers (great way to showcase some of their offerings). Their shrimp and grits were amazing and their build your own steam pot was so delicious! The service was prompt and courteous! One of the best places to eat at Barefoot Landing. Go early or expect a long wait.

    (4)

  • David P.

    If you don't try this place while in town, your loss. It's busy, it's loud, there are fish flying overhead (bit of an exaggeration, kinda) and it is a lot of fun; exactly what a east coast crab and fish market should be. The steamer pots are tremendous. Lots of crab, clean favors, nothing but good to say. Bar is a great area to dine in, and a table can often be had much faster than waiting for the main dining area. The crab steamers were the best I have ever had in the area. It saddens me when so much publicity surrounds the crab buffets, which typically offer little in the way of good food, just limitless portions. And who wants limitless portions of medicore food? Flying Fish is the best place for crab in the area.

    AWESOME Shrimp and Grits!! I was in love! We also enjoyed the Seafood Nachos as well. They were tasty too.

  • Kim B.

    I went there alone for lunch (#awkwardsoloeating) and was really impressed with the service, quality of food, and atmosphere. The complimentary mahi mahi dip was a tasty start to my meal, and the grilled salmon (one of the fish available at market price) was an excellent finish. I didn't love the rice (but I'm also not a huge fan of rice anyway, unless it is diiirty diirty) but the green beans were amazing. My server was polite and attentive, without being overly hover-y (which is more obnoxious when dining alone and you feel like you have to justify being by yourself, reading CNN on your phone). I would definitely head back if I find myself in North Myrtle again!

    (4)

  • Anna B.

    I really enjoyed this place. I had the blackened fish tacos. They were spicy, but not overly so. The hostess was courteous and quick. The bartender was nice and made recommendations, which I took (blackened mahi fish tacos). I subbed the rice for green beans and asked for the avocado cream sauce on the side, both of which they did correctly. I would definitely come back. The food was a little slow, but I came during an off peak time, and they MORE than compensated for it...and I wasn't in any kind if hurry so I didn't care. I really have no complaints at all.

  • Elizabeth K.

    Excellent seafood! This place has a fun laid back atmosphere. It's family friendly without being cheesy or corporate looking. We went twice on our vacation and had great service both times. I say you have to go with one of the fresh catch options. I got the grouper and the wahoo both Cajun style. I recommend the Cajun style if you like spicy. Other restaurants in the barefoot area are very corporate/ commercial but this one is very good!

    (5)

  • Katie H.

    Best bang for your buck!! Happy hour is amazing! Drinks- mixed and beer 3-5 dollars for full pints of mixed drinks. Fried calamari is light and crisp & includes rings and tentacles. Buffalo shrimp has a perfect amount of spice. Shrimp salsa--- don't be swayed by the odd name it's to die for!! Get it with tortilla chips rather pita. However the best part is the 4.50$ for half a dozen oysters!! They are small but sweet and delicious!! They also let the kids come watch some fishy action and put a glove on and touch a dead fish!!

  • Leah M.

    We went to the Flying Fish for lunch. They have a $6 lunch menu with limited choices but you can also order from the full menu as well. I'm not much for seafood so I ordered the patty melt. It was pretty dry, the onions were forgotten but the waiter brought a few onion straws to put on it. May be they just make patty melts differently in the South? The others in my party liked what they had to eat: trout, fish & chips, chicken wrap. We were a little disappointed that they do the "flying fish" in the evening only. That was one reason we chose to go there. The room was cold, wish we would have had our sweaters along.

    Had our first family dinner during our Myrtle Beach Christmas vacation here. It was pretty busy, even for the 23rd of December. The hostess greeted us immediately and gave us an accurate wait time. We were able to check out the fresh fish on display while we were waiting. We were seated towards the back, overlooking the water. It was already too dark and rainy to see anything, but still a nice area to sit. Our server was very enthusiastic. You can tell she was a veteran and knew what to recommend. We started with a half dozen blue point oysters - very fresh and delicious. Hubby had the Snow Feast with the Alaskan Snow Crabs. Brother had the shrimp and grits. Both mom and I had the rainbow trout signature prepared with the honey lime butter and fresh herb cream sauce signature topping, respectively. The honey lime butter was the better topping. The portions were huge! We ended up taking home a fish fillet. We shared a slice of the triple chocolate layer cake for dessert. It was fantastic! We went during happy hour, so the beers were only $2.50 a glass. Can't beat that! The sauvignon blanc was pretty good too.

    Great seafood spot in Myrtle Beach. Lots of fresh catch choices. Service was excellent. Had the crusted and sautéed fresh catch with the mango salsa. It was amazing. Someone sitting next to us had the shrimp and grits, that looked awesome as well. On a Tues night second week of July, had a 25 minute wait for party of two. Also had a sushi menu.

  • Meghan G.

    Oh my gosh everything was so good!! We had: key lime martini, peach sangria, brown ale, and the key west margarita for drinks. Happy hour made them super affordable! For appetizer we had buffalo shrimp - deliciously spicy with blue cheese and celery. For dinner I had the best crab cakes I've ever tasted, my husband had tilefish caught right off the coast in South Carolina. Great service!! Fast and friendly!

  • Roland M.

    Fresh seafood, well prepared, beautiful setting. My wife and I had lunch there. I had fish and chips and was pleasantly surprised that fish was large portions of fresh fish fillet, nicely battered and fried, not heavy or oily. My wife had Mahi Mahi fillet, which was well prepared, with fresh green beans and a tasty Gouda cheese mashed potato side. Service was quick and friendly. Price wasn't much more than other place we have been a lesser quality in the area.

    Sea food nachos were to die for and a humongous portion. I ate that for my meal and could even finish 25%. My husband who got the new England clam chowder and trout wasn't so lucky. He said they were mediocre and nothing to write home about. I tried a couple of cocktails and they were a miss too. Nice ambiance with a canal water view. But nothing was outstanding. If I ever went back, that would be for the seafood nachos

  • Tyler W.

    This was my favorite restaurant experience at Myrtle Beach. Maybe because I was desperate for a seafood redemption after the Duffy's flop we experienced, maybe because I was sunburned and sweaty and there was some rockin AC, but maybe because it was just really a great place for a good meal. The restaurant was packed--we waited for what felt like FOREVER but was actually just under an hour. Luckily there was the aforementioned AC to keep me happy along with plenty of seating in the lobby. While we were being taken to our table, the hostess explained the "market" part of the restaurant and pointed out the sushi and oyster bar. When we were seated, we were served some tasty smoked mahi dip, which was a welcome change from bread. We chowed it, along with an order of calamari (really fresh but slightly under-seasoned, definitely relied a lot on the very yummy chili sauce) and hush puppies (a little over cooked, greasy, crunchy for me but the rest of the family gobbled them up). Our waitress was accommodating and super-nice and didn't judge us for literally inhaling our appetizers. I ordered shrimp and grits, my parents each ordered a fries seafood basket with a combination of flounder, shrimp, and scallops, and my sister had chicken tenders. The fried food was pretty standard fare...like the calamari, very fresh seafood and not overly breaded, but lacking a bit in the seasoning department. That being said, it was all eaten without complaint. The tenders were good too. As far as chicken tenders go, I'd put them just above average. But OH MY GOD THE SHRIMP AND GRITS. I'd never had anything like it. The shrimp were perfectly seasoned, the cherry tomatoes were fresh and plump, the grits were cheesy and sticky and all that is good, and I could literally have bathed in the cream sauce because I loved it so. I'm going to dream of those shrimp and grits and cry because I'll never eat such a thing in Colorado. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, PEOPLE. Bottom line: some dishes better than others, but nothing sucked and none was left behind. The ambiance and service were perfect for family vacationers like us, and we left stuffed and happy. Just come expecting a wait, so don't be starving when you arrive.

    We eat here every time we're in NMB and have never had anything but outstanding meals. The fish is as fresh as you could ask for and the sides are terrific. As someone else said, the hushpuppies are guilding the lily. We tried the fish nachos for the 1st time tonight and they absolutely sang in my mouth-the fish was sooo fresh and the tortillas (homemade) were some of the best I've ever tasted-even in Mexican restaurants. And don't miss the sweet potato fries appetizer-it's another meal in itself. Our last 2 visits we had a lovely, attentive server named Ann, just enough attention without being overbearing. You won't go wrong if you go for a dinner for two or 20. The only semi negative thing I could say is the place is noisy-but I look at it as high spirited.

    First time eating here. Went with my golf foursome on Saturday night while in Myrtle. Loved the atmosphere in this place. Customer service was friendly and perky. Have to give credit to the young girls for handling the large crowd with a smile. Wait was promised for 15 minutes, and they delivered. Had a spicy tuna roll as my appetizer. It was good, but didn't stand out from any other sushi I have eaten. Decided to keep it simple and go with the fried shrimp dinner. Shrimp and the slaw were really good. The rice I selected was not so good (not sure what their rice was, but still better than eating French Fries AND fried shrimp). We sat upstairs and had a nice view over the lower bar level. Great view in the other direction as well looking out over the waterway. There is outdoor seating as well. Enjoyed the atmosphere and ambiance of this restaurant. I thought prices here were reasonable. Prices were in line with Bimini's, and this place was way nicer inside with its atmosphere. Hope to return one day.

    My husband and I come to Myrtle Beach May and October each year and the Flying Fish is on the top of our agenda. The food and service is always incredible. We always feel right at home. Nothing is perfect but the Flying Fish is about as close as it gets. See you soon!

    I cameback !!!!!.. I was here earlier in the week...Again I was impressed with the quality of the food and service ( Wallace )..Sarah was off today..Sarah was my waitress the first time I was here...She was Outstanding, I did ask for her.....This is the place to come too for Seafood in North Myrtle Beach and the surrounding area...I have tried other Seafood Rest while here and this by far is the best in the area....Stay away from the Hostess with the tattoos on her arm , shoulder (pregnant)..She is disrespectful , argumentative and nasty... Thanks Michael

    I had the pick two and choose flounder and shrimp (fried) The breading was light and flavorful, really enjoyed! It came with hush puppies, cole slaw, and I choose the fresh vegetable over the French fries. Nice glass of wine after a long day at the beach. Perfect!

    Perplexed...that's how we left feeling. I'm trying to figure out what night of the week and what dish I need to order to have a 4 or 5 star experience...I can tell you it isn't a Thursday, and the grilled fresh fish or shrimp and grits aren't the dishs. Bland, seasonless, tasteless meat thrown on a grill, served with bland, seasonless, tasteless rice and green beans. In fact, I wonder if the only seasoning in the restaurant is the salt and pepper grinders on the table...devices that undoubtedly came in handy. As for the choice of sauce, I ordered the Habanero Orange Chutney and my wife got the Mango Salsa. My chutney was tasty...problem is, I got about a tablespoons worth to cover an entire piece of blah fish...if your not gonna season the meat, better bring a bowl of that sauce 'cause it needs help. As for my wife's mango salsa...so so. The other dishes on the table were shrimp and grits and seafood chili. Of all the food, the chili was the most edible. The shrimp and grits...well, imagine grits drowning in a bath of unseasoned heavy whipping cream and your right there. Now, lets talk service. My suggestion is to walk in with a pad and pen and write down what you want to know about the menu, specials, happy hour, etc. Why? Because odds are, if you don't ask, they won't tell. Oh, and be specific, if you care to know details because asking about deserts, for example, will garner an answer such as "key lime pie, pecan pie, chocolate cake..." Of course, there is a HUGE difference between, say, "pecan pie", and "pecan pie with vanilla bean ice cream and a warm caramel sauce." The server told us nothing unless we SPECIFICALLY asked (ie "does it have ice cream?"..."yes"..."does it have a sauce?"..."yes, caramel sauce"...) So why the 2 star review...why not 1 star. Well, the freshness of the fish and veggies was a plus. Also, the happy hour has some good value on it so I do recommend that. There are various drinks and apps for good prices. All in all, just not a good meal for what we paid. For years, our family went to Charleston SC for our annual vacation. There, a $30/person average drink/meal restaurant would be memorable (in a good way). This place wouldn't last a month down there without some serious reworking. The potential is there, but it simply didn't deliver.

    My husband and I went to the flying fish for lunch and enjoyed it. My husband got the shrimp and grits and it was delicious and perfect for lunch. I got the ahi turbo tacos and they were good as well. I think the tacos would have been better if we were here for the summer instead of fall.. The service was decent considering there were only 2 waitresses. Friendly, great views, good time.

    The service was excellent. Very friendly and helpful. After putting our name in, we got to watch these two boys throwing fish as though they were fish mongers themselves. It was very neat!! The local beer selection was very tasty. The atmosphere was very lively and welcoming. The food was excellent. The four of us split the buffalo shrimp and seafood nachos (which both were hearty portions) and were absolutely to die for. My husband and I split the flying fish special steam platter and could only eat one third of it together since we had the appetizers and I had the Liberty Sushi roll (VERY YUMMY!!). It came with steamed clams, muscles, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn on the cob, and topped with an abundance of crab legs. The couple we were with had fish and chips and the crab cake dish. Between the two appetizers we split, their food and ours, we were easily taking home food. We all wished we would have got the two apps and the four of us split the steamer. It would be nice if the waitstaff could guide the guests on portion sizes while ordering. This will be a must stop on our next visit to Myrtle beach!!

    We found Flying Fish after inquiring with a few locals at the course we were playing. 12 golfers from NY metro is a tough group to please. FF was up to challenge. We waited at bar for table to open and enjoyed excellent cocktails. Happy Hour menu had oyster shooters, which were very good! Bar service was very efficient and they know how to pour. We were then seated on the lower level, overlooking the intercostal. Our waitress Haley (sp?) was EXCELLENT! Kept our cocktails glasses filled, and made sure everyone was taken care of. Seafood nachos, coconut shrimp, fried pickles and wedge salad would all make the recommend list. Buffalo shrimp fell a little short, and could be missed. Successful mains included various sushi rolls, fresh fish prepared in a variety of ways, shrimp and grits, a 'boil', and the southern fried seafood. We did not have one complaint from the 12 diners. I have no reservations recommending Flying Fish, and hope you will try it.

  • Danielle H.

    Our waitress was Lexy. She was fabulous. She was great with our kids and provides the exact right amount of attention. We had the grouper and low country boil. Kids ate from the kids menu. The grouper was grilled to perfection and the low country boil had great flavor. I do t think you would go wrong with either one. As to the kids, The Mac & cheese from the kids menu appeared to be kraft, and the fried shrimp was popcorn shrimp. They were both large portions. We got here early, did the first come first serve seating in the bar area for happy hour. The happy hour prices for select drinks and appetizers are a great deal. With our two kids we didn't feel uncomfortable in the bar area. They have tables in that area. The place was very clean and staff seemed to really pay attention to the customers needs. I recommend this place completely.

  • Sophia B.

    My husband ordered the fish and chips and it was plentiful and fantastic (definitely fresh!) - great value at 15 bucks! My daughter and I split the southern favorites - we chose the jumbo shrimp and soft shell crab. I was disappointed in the portions for the price. It was 22 dollars and we got 6 shrimp (not that big) and 2 small crabs - each about the size of a deck of cards. We will come back but next time we'll get the boil.

  • Richia I.

    Ate here for the first time last night and the food and wait stuff was awesome! The atmosphere was friendly and lived up to its name "flying fish" ;)...The food was so fresh and delicious even the fried pickles were the best I have ever had! But the real amazement to me was my boyfriend loves scallops and I don't care for them but every time he wants me to try them, so I do. These scallops were amazing! I don't even like scallops and I thought these were so good! The only reason I do not give five stars is because my sword fish was really over seasoned and my green beans were under seasoned. I'm usually not a stickler about things like that but it was enough to say something about it! My fish was still good and fresh seamed like it was caught the day before. I'm definitely coming back but I won't be getting my fish Cajun style for the overwhelming amount of seasoning, fire grilled it will be.

    We were trying to find a seafood restaurant to eat at for our last night in Myrtle Beach and kind of stumbled on Flyin Fish in Barefoot. It was a Friday evening around 7pm and there was a 30min wait. Might be a good idea to make reservations. Their menu is almost all seafood, although they do have some non fish items and a kids menu. Instead of bread and butter at the table they bring over a mahi dip with crackers - very tasty! We started with oysters on the half shell. Then I had the mahi mahi, which was one of about 5 catches of the day. You can choose how you want your catch prepared and what topping. I had Cajun/broiled with a mango salsa. It was delish, although a little too spicy for me. I did have meal envy though. My husband ordered the local feast which was steamed shrimp, crab legs, sausage, potatoes and corn on the cob. It was a huge portion, and we probably could have shared it. Our waitress was very nice and attentive, and was able to convince us to have dessert! We will definitely be back. PS - the name Flyin Fish I believe was chosen because the front of the restaurant looks like a fish market, and the staff get restaurant goers involved in throwing whole fish across the room as would be done in a traditional fish market.

    Went for the great reviews, but left unimpressed. Service was attentive and friendly. Restaurant is huge and bustling, but our table in the corner was quiet enough to hear each other well. The smoked Mahi dip they provided when we sat down was a good start to the meal. We had Fried Pickles as an appetizer and they were the best we had in Myrtle Beach this week. We tried both of the Bloody Marys on the drink menu and were happy with them. Things were off to a good start, but our entrees were decidedly lackluster. I had grilled salmon with herb cream sauce - the fish was fresh, but both the fish and the sauce were badly under-seasoned. My wife had the Shrimp & Grits. The flavor of the dish was good, but everything was covered in an absurd amount of sauce. When the dish arrived, it looked like a big bowl of soup. I joked that we should drink it with a straw.

    Great food and atmosphere. I had the shrimp and grits, another in my party ordered the brown beer battered fish and chips. Beer was cheap, also offered $3 sangrias - yum! My son ordered fish sticks off kids menu. There were 10 chunks of fried fish, they were not frozen fish sticks that kids like (mine anyway :) ). I should have known better at a seafood restaurant. Great view of the water too.

  • Jessica P.

    As far as touristy places to eat go, I'll say they are not my favorite and I can be a food snob. With that said, this is the best meal I had in the three days I was at Myrtle Beach with my friends. The mahi mahi dip was delish, the hush puppies were good and my trout dinner was tasty. They have a nice bar with a decent beer selection, the service was good. They did bring out a pretty lame wedge salad... I guess the kitchen was out of bacon but instead of telling my friend, they just sent out an iceberg wedge smothered only in dressing. I would eat here again and I would not say that about all the restaurants at Barefoot Landing.

  • Sunni Z.

    Nice atmosphere. We had their hushpuppies, their raw oysters and the flying fish sushi roll. The roll was fantastic and my guy loved their oysters. He actually ordered two platters he enjoyed them so much! The hushpuppies weren't very good. They were fried with other savory items which was fine but they are served with a sweet cinnamon butter. They were just a strange combo.

    Dined at the bar around 7:30. Very busy, but great bar service. Enjoyed a half dozen bluepoint oysters, which were perfect and large. Had the shrimp and grits entree, which was delicious but took 40 minutes to arrive. Great beer selection. I'm assuming the slow service on the entree was an anomaly, because there appeared to be a lot of return customers. Will return again.

    Yelp you've failed me... The "boil" had absolutely no flavor, in the shrimp, potatoes, sausage, nothing... The service was good, the beer was good, but the food was not, and for the price... Two words: buyers remorse. If you're a foodie and you're using Yelp to guide you in your new vacation spot, avoid this place. It's just generic and bland, tourist trap to the max.

    Pretty good. The specials between 4-7pm were great. There were a lot of older folks there but that could be because we were there early for Happy Hour.

    I love this place. The food is always terrific, reasonably priced and fast. The house made spread they bring to the table is a great. The food is hot and perfectly cooked. There is a wide variety of food for all palates. Also, the side Caesar salad is the best I've had in any restaurant. This place knows their seafood!

    Visiting from Atlanta, GA & Birmingham, AL - 10 of us in the group, outdoor seating only available for up to 6 per party. Told 1 hr wait ended up being seated in the bar area after 20 minutes. We had ordered fried pickles & hush puppies to munch on while waiting. They arrived at our table before we received our drinks! Great job of finding us so quick. Server did a great job of helping us get the items we wanted - even spliting the shared entres. We are not alcohol consumers, so bar drinks were not ordered n our group, but about 10 waters were! Several had the snapper prepared according to their signature preparaton with the Herb cream sauce - It was Great! Several had grilled snapper, the fish & chips and the fried shrimp. All 10 of us agreed that we want to eat here again on this trip and that we would order the same item if we were not going to try a different dish. Service was terrific, food was great. We will split up next time for outdoor seating! We will be back soon!

    Had lunch there today on the second floor in a nice window table with a view of the intercostal waterway. The interior is clean crisp and feels updated. Love the fish market as you walk to your table. Our server was attentive knowledgeable and friendly. I had the soft shell BLT and as a Baltimore girl I can be pretty picky about my crabs. I happily was not disappointed. The only thing that made me consider giving this place only 4 stars was the fact that the women's room was tired, not fully functioning and not properly stocked. It was early in the day, so hopefully that was just a one-off so I'm letting the food and staff and atmosphere carry the day.

  • Emily L.

    Food was incredible. We had the shrimp n grits, hush puppies appetizers, barefoot roll (sushi) and the fish sandwich and everything was so good. Portions are large so we had lots of leftovers. The complimentary mahi mahi dip was also addictive and I would go Back for that!

  • Jason M.

    Went here on vacation, about 45 min wait at 5:30 in June. Good service there. Mixed drinks were watered down for sure. I got the crab cakes which were good, green beans with them were very salty, couldn't finish them because of that. Sweet potato fries were awesome thou! Had 4 kids with us and they liked the kids meals.

  • Susan H.

    We chose this place based on their Yelp reviews. On our first attempt, there was a 1 1/2 hour wait (they don't take reservations or call ahead seating), so the next night we arrived early (4:45pm) and were seated right away. The ambiance is pleasant - we were seated with a great view of the water which was nice since we were at our table for over 1 1/2 hours (not our choice or fault - service was just that slow). The people at our table who ordered fresh fish specials were more pleased with their meals. My husband had the Jambalaya which he said was just "meh". Our table ordered the hush puppies app and didn't even finish them, as they were also just "meh". I split some clam strips with my son - they were also disappointing - the breading was mushy and they tasted like they had been microwaved. Just not impressed over all and definitely not worth a wait.

    (2)

  • Steven K.

    Great variety of fresh fish. Good service. Very good clam chowder! Go early as you might have a 2 hour wait on a weeknight. But there is a reason, as the fish is well prepared. Try the tile fish. One of my favorites!

  • Bill B.

    Outfrig'nstanding! Great service, price, and food that is throw your panties on the stage awesome!!! The sweet potato fry appetizer is culinary celebration. Potato is fried perfectly and crumbled blue cheese, purple onion, tomato and possible Pixie Dust make it a DO NOT miss! Crab cake sandwich was fat with crab and HUGE! Nice lump crab and drizzled sauce on a pretzel type crust bun. Another win! The chicken soft tacos were moist and plentiful. I was already at maximum density but they had key lime pie and I flexed my diaphragm enough to brave that as well. Fantastic and like everything else, presentation was perfect. Served on a huge square plate with a sweet colorful sauce pattern over the whole masterpiece! Overall the place is a big win for me!

  • Mikaela L.

    Found this place on Yelp and decided to check it out. The food was fresh and service was phenomenal! We got the steam pot (crab legs, clams and muscles), everything was really fresh and yummy. The jambalaya was really good as well. Their oysters on the half shell (forgot the name but the ones from Maine were sooo good). Will definitely come back when we're in Myrtle Beach again.

    (5)

  • Aaron S.

    For myrtle beach, this place is solid. The only catch is that it's crazy popular and you need to come early or be prepared for a 1+ hr wait. We stopped by for a late lunch around 430 on a Friday and it was perfect. Got a table right away and you can still get the HH drink specials from the table. The HH apps need to be from the bar, but there wasn't much on the app menu we wanted. My dad got the trout special which had 2 big pieces. I had the crab cakes, which were ok. Lots of fried stuff here so be careful. Outdoor seating is beautiful and recommended. This place is affiliated with Pearlz, a great oyster bar in charleston (I am currently Duke there), but the special (Scorton Creek) oysters were poor. Overall, since we didn't have to wait and good portions, 4 stars.

  • Christopher C.

    My family and I have been coming here since it opened a few years ago. It is one of our favorite places to eat on the Grand Strand. The atmosphere is great,the food is excellent, and the prices are reasonable for the area. My only complaint is that I would like to see a few more food preparation selections on the menu. I like fried oysters, and grilled flounder. However, combination platters are all fried, and to get grilled flounder would be a whole separate plate. i would like to be able to mix and match how I have my seafood prepared, fried, broiled, grilled, etc. I highly recommend this restaurant to my friends when they come to Myrtle Beach, and we consider this one of our must eat at places.

  • Jenny M.

    The atmosphere was great, the service was excellent and the food was delish! My family of seven come here to celebrate my mom's birthday and we loved it! We started off with the seafood nachos and fried pickles. My favorite part of the nachos were the homemade chips! This was a meal in itself but between the seven of us, it was a perfect starter. I got the fish & chips and the cod was perfectly flaky. It was so much food, I will probably have lunch for two days. The only downside was that my dad wanted gulf oysters but the restaurant didn't have any. Turns out the morning delivery of oysters did not meet The Flying Fish's high standards so they passed on buying...I appreciate that level of respect wanting to put out the best product for your customers.

    (5)

  • Lauren M.

    Service was fast and friendly, but food was not up to par with other restaurants in the area. Felt more like a chain restaurant or tourist trap than anything else. Food was barely warm coming out, and portions of everything were enormous. Is probably fine for tourists who don't know any better, but as regular seasonal visitors of Little River and NMB, we probably wouldn't go back.

  • gary m.

    This is a very popular place in Barefoot Landing so expect to wait just a little bit. The restaurant is large with a full bar and a full view of the fish prepping area. You'll see some flying fish if you're lucky. The complementary mahi mahi dip was a great start to the meal. The oysters were nice and fresh. The soft shell blt is a must try. My fiancé had the tile fish which was a first and won't be the last. The drink of the week peach schnapps lemonade was great. Service here is quick and pleasant. A must try in the North Myrtle Beach area.

  • Jeremy Y.

    This is my 2nd time here on my 5 day vacation to Myrtle Beach and I'm going to miss this place. Besides the view when you're eating outside the food is amazing. We came here Friday and only spent $30 including tip for 2 meals and 2 sangrias from the lunch menu. You're gonna spend that anyway out here for mediocre fast food and mediocre this is not. The mahi mahi dip that they bring out with crackers for free is amazing and so are the hush puppies with cinnamon butter dip. Me and my wife are currently waiting for our entrees but I know they will not disappoint. If you're looking for a restaurant that isn't a franchise and you won't find back home(a least in Jersey) then this is the place. Good food, good ambience and easy on the pockets. Sounds like a winner to me.

    Awesome place Great food... We loved the happy hour specials , and great sushi. The atmosphere is awesome and very fun place to go with friends!! Can not wait to go back!!

    This place is awesome! I Definitely recommend it. We went during happy hour. It was not our intention, but we just walked in at the perfect time. Bar seating with the booths is first come first serve. So we managed to grab a booth. We got the Buffalo Shrimp ($5 happy hour) and chicken tenders (also $5 happy hour) and they were amazing. Aaron was our server... and he is one of the best servers that I have ever had... A+ all the way around for him. My mom got the fish and chips ($15 dinner) sister got the shrimp and grits ($15 dinner) and I got the white shrimp pizza ($7 happy hour) I wasn't crazy about the pizza... but all else was amazing. And the drinks were on point. AND... AND... we got to throw a huge salmon! Super fun! And thanks to yelp we found this place =)

    Service was pleasant and efficient. The smoked fish dip was very good, but I agree with the other review that it would be better on bread. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the fish selections and was able to help me select "triggerfish". I had never tried it before and really enjoyed it! The food was fresh, hot and perfectly cooked.

  • Alex Y.

    Service: 4/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Food: 2/5 We had heard good things about this establishment, but we will not be returning after tonight's dinner. Two of us ordered the fresh fish, one was mahi mahi, Cajun style. The other was rainbow trout, Hooked style. Both came out salty. The mahi mahi was too unbearably salty so we asked to get it cooked with less cajun seasoning. They were quick to return with a grilled mahi mahi, no Cajun seasoning at all. It was *still* salty! The fish was soaked to the center in salt. Absolutely absurd! I was too hungry to wait any longer so I stuck with the rainbow trout. We had also ordered crab legs and jambalaya -- crab legs were salty/not fresh, but the jambalaya was good. The silver lining was their service -- the waitress and manager were very understanding and respectful while we raised our concerns. Put shortly: don't eat here if you don't like salty fish!

  • Lew M.

    The Buffalo popcorn shrimp appetizer was great and happy hour priced at $5. Dinner was fried oysters and clams for $21.95 and same for fried flounder and jumbo (they say ) shrimp. Quantity of food was small. Get more at say a Cracker Barrell. Sides were so so. Would not recommend this restaurant.

  • Megan D.

    This place was recommended to us by a friend back in Jersey before we left and it was on point!! We went during happy hour hours which gave us the option of sitting at the bar right away or waiting for a table for a possible 25- 30 mins. We decided to wait because the restaurant is right on the bay and would have a killer sunset around dinner time. We only waited prob all of 8 mins when they were ready for us. As we were walking we saw all the fresh fish that was caught this morning!! Once we sat down we were all business considering we didn't have lunch. I'm a sucker for any place that serves clam chowder so I had that. It was creamy and had tons of veggies and clams. Between the 4 of us we also ordered hush puppies (a first for us kids from Jersey), buffalo shrimp and calamari. A favorite for all of us was definitely the buffalo shrimp. For our dinners my boyfriend and I shared the souther fried favorites: we had soft shell crab, flounder and scallops and had sides of french fries and hush puppies and a few good sauces for our liking. My sister in-law ordered a fresh fish that was caught this morning, she had the salmon and had it grilled it was a huge piece of fish with a side of rice and green beans. My brother in-law also ordered a fresh fish, the grouper which he also had grilled. The both throughly enjoyed their meals and loved that it was caught this morning and served within hours! Absolutely a great place for dinner of your looking for fresh seafood. It's in Barefoot Landing which has tons if little shops, stores and eateries that you can enjoy once your done with your meal.

    Through a strange turn of events, we ate at Flying Fish three times in two days. We had two excellent lunches at surprisingly low prices and a wonderful dinner. Their fish is high quality, fresh.. We loved the rainbow trout, tilefish, and salmon.. They even make a good New York strip. On top of the food, the service was fast and very attentive. By all means, make sure to go to FF!

  • MaryAnn T.

    The food was delicious and the view was great. The fresh catch of the day is extensive and you can pick how you want your fish fixed. They have a good variety of food on their menu too. The calamari was the only thing we didn't enjoy (we ate their twice while on vacation), it wasn't crispy or hot. They send you a text message when your table is ready, so you can walk around the fun shopping center while you wait.

    I would give 4.5 stars , just don't know how to do so. That being said, I am a big advocate of this place. My fiancé and I come here every time we come to Myrtle Beach. The seafood nachos are delightful, the fish and chips are awesome, and the happy hour is insane. Definitely recommended this place to anyone looking for a good seafood meal or just trying to find a great happy hour.

    It's in Barefoot Landing and the best dining experience of the beach week. We will repeat this place on our next visit. The view from this restaurant was the inland waterway, some boats and a really nice condominium complex. A great choice for lunch, but I bet it gets busy during the summer. My wife had Salmon (4 oz portion), this ended up being a much larger portion (somewhere in the 8 oz range) and I helped her by eating about 1/2 of it (delicious). She couldn't substitute the vegetable selection for a salad... a bit disappointing. They wanted to charge an additional $4.95 for adding a salad. I had the fresh catch Grouper (dinner portion 8 oz) I think it was a bit small (probably around 6 oz cooked) but very tasty. I had ordered it with the Cajun seasoning. It came with a salad and two vegetables ... the salad was mostly iceberg lettuce. The desert menu was nice but we were just too full. Service was excellent and attentive.

    We tried out some of the specialties for lunch here on our trip to Myrtle Beach: Shrimp n' Grits, Crab Cakes, Jambalaya, Calamari and Fish and Chips. The serving sizes of the dishes were pretty good, and the servers were prompt and courteous. My favorite was probably the Grits: creamy, cheesy and hit that sweet 'comfort food' spot. The Jambalaya was another homestyle dish that I liked. The Crab Cakes were so-so, and it felt like the cook wasn't sure what to do with the sides (rice and a few vegetables). It seemed kind of mismatched and the dish kind of didn't sit well as a result. Overall a decent pick for seafood in the Barefoot Landing shopping center. If there's fewer people you can request a seat right by the water, which is always nice.

    The atmosphere was a solid 4 star, very good. But I went for great seafood and it fell short. I'd even say below average. Service was very good, but food was my primary interest. I tasted off all 5 of my family's dishes, and average at best was the theme. Go somewhere else.

    2nd visit to the flying fish 2nd stellar meal Service is exceptional The portions are generous Crab cakes are some of the best I have had You can always Guage a restaurant on their scallops The scallops here never disappoint Fresh and plentiful Smashed potatoes are an excellent choice for a side Prices are extremely reasonable, especially when I consider the service, portions and the quality of the food. Any time I am in myrtle the flying fish is a must

    I came here for lunch on a Sunday with my husband and our friend while we were in Myrtle Beach for the weekend. Our server was very friendly and the food was really good. We shared the seafood nachos, which we all loved but couldn't finish because the portion size was huge! And we all ordered tacos for our entree, both the mahi mahi and the ahi tuna. The tacos were tasty as well. Both the seafood nachos and the tacos came with these absolutely delicious thick and crispy fried chips. I could have eaten a plate of them by themselves for my meal and been satisfied. However, the best part of our meal was the complimentary smoked fish dip; I wish I would have bought some to take back home--it was that good. If I had to complain about anything it would be the drinks; all of the cocktails we had were weak and watered down. However, I would revisit Flying Fish if I were to go back to the area--I'd just order a beer with my meal and make sure to take home some of that smoked fish dip :).

    Our waitress Savannah was very nice and helped us right away after we were seated. They gave us a dip when we first got there, it was delicious! I got the snow crab dinner and my fiance got the fried clam strips and fried shrimp. The crab was cooked perfectly andwas very good! I tried a clam strip and it was also very good! He said the shrimp was good too but the ratio of clam strips to shrimp was off, a lot more clam strips. It was a bit pricey but it was a good dinner! Had a view of the marina,very pretty! Would go back again!

    Nice place. Their take on the southern staple shrimp and grits was quite unique and very tasty. Highly recommend! Also had soft shell crab dinner. I did not realize it was batter dipped my fault I suppose, but I always assume soft shell crabs were lightly floured and then fried. I did not particularly like the heavy batter.

    Came here for the first time with my 27 yr old daughter during happy hour. Drinks start at $2 and food $3. Sushi was fresh and yummy and only $5 for eight. Aaron our waiter was spot on and very helpful with menu selections. He was also very conscious and alert to my shellfish allergy, and made sure nothing I had came in contact with anything. He is a rare breed. ;) we also walked over to the sushi guy to tell him ours was awesome and everyone from the front gals to the sushi guys were amazing. Very funny and personable. Great workers makes this place fun.

    First--they wont seat you until the whole party is present. The place has a very nice feel to it. Lot's of selection on the menu but the prices are a little on the pricey side especially with the portions that you're getting. I got the Shrimp and Grits and it was really tasty...highly recommend it. My wife got the fresh catch of the day special, which was a grouper. She loved it as well. My daughter got the country boil with the 1/2 lb shrimp, it was just OK...nothing really special about it. The other daughter got the blue crab sandwich which she enjoyed. Overall a nice place to go when you're in the mood for seafood.

  • Dana M.

    The atmosphere was good, but it had a chain feel. We were looking for a local seafood place on the water and landed here. The fish was fresh and the portions were large but there was just something a little too "canned" about the experience. Someone else on Yelp raved about the shrimp and grits so I ordered that. It was terrible!!!! I don't know how anyone could say that it was good. No flavor at all and prepared with what seemed like a gummy cream sauce from a jar. Barely any grits. It was like shrimp Alfredo soup. My son ordered a low country boil and loved it. The shrimp were great but the clams and mussels were tiny and over cooked. My other son had the salmon and it was ok. My husband had the grouper and it was very good. Not a bad place, but I don't think it will knock anyone's socks off either...

    You get what you pay for GREAT! fresh seafood. Not a tourist trap nice local dinning spot. We stopped in after seeing it from our hall way window of our resort in North Beach SC. We could have eaten here for lunch and dinner easy. Leave out the back way and take a nice walk up the water way to a nice little outside mall with a lion exhibit.

    ***Disclaimer. I am giving this establishment 4 stars because it is good for what it is. I am not doing 5 stars because I was disappointed. Why disappointed? Because people talked up this location and I thought it was going to be some incredible, fresh food, local, independent place. It is very commercial. 1. As soon as you walk in you see this giant sign with "fresh catch of the day". SILLY ME. I thought this was literal. OH NO- it is just decoration. The dumbest decoration that I have EVER SEEN at a place that is claiming to be a seafood market. 2. We decided to eat at the bar to take advantage of the happy hour specials. MY GOODNESS...I was seriously tipsy (borderline drunk) after one drink (yes, a long island iced tea for $4). 3. The calamari was okay. Not bad, not amazing. Lightly breaded. The sweet potato fries felt more like a gimmick- "look! we have sweet potato fries! with blue cheese!". We both ordered grouper with Cajun seasoning. The fish was tasty. I had a long talk about local fish. There was NOTHING local. Local meant north Atlantic. 4. Ambiance- this is in a strip mall. It feels like a fancy Red Lobster. I wouldn't go back again. I honestly don't know if there are better options though. MB is really lacking a food scene.

    Great place is a good way to summarize our experience here. Excellent service, excellent food, excellent atmosphere and a long wait should be expected at a place this fantastic. They use iPads to check you in and send you a text when your table is ready. This allows you to experience other shops located around the restaurant and would recommend anyone to visit a shop called Innovations which carries local arts and crafts ran by a wonderful woman. I had Tile Fish and it was DELICIOUS! My wife had the lowcountry crab cakes and said some of the best she have ever ate. Kids ate, well stuff kids eat. A cheeseburger and Mac and cheese lol. Portions were huge and more than we could eat. Probably a 8oz fish and she had 3 large crab cakes. Oh and ask about the flying fish at the seafood counter.

    We visited on March 30, 2015. Everything was as advertised. Good food, good portions, nice atmosphere. When we left around 6PM it was starting to get noisy because we were around back behind the bar. We shared a 3 item combo which was just right after the smoked fish dip, which my companion loved and ordered a second one. We ended up having the 2nd one packed up for the trip home. They have tables near the Intracoastal Waterway but because my companion is in a wheelchair, our seating is limited to behind the bar.

  • Andrew J.

    Excellent! I had the 1.25 pounds of snow crab legs and they were the best I have ever had. Very large portion with plenty of meat. One of our party got the salmon which was also very well seasoned and fresh. Another got the whitefish sandwich and was not a huge fan and claimed the breading on the fish was soggy. That person is not necessarily a huge seafood aficionado though so could certainly be personal preference. Everyone was very polite and our waitress was fantastic and attentive the whole meal and made very honest, helpful recommendations. A must stop on your trip to Myrtle Beach!

    Arrived at 6 pm, only a 30 minute wait. Restaurant is.quite large with three floors. The free Mahi Mahi spread with crackers is a nice, tasty treat. Fried pickles appetizer is good. I had the peach white sangria, very refreshing. Fish and chips and the Low Country Boil were good, although I did not like the sliced pecan sausages in the Boil. Corn on cob is tender. Great service.

    I really really like this style of place. Large, well decorated, great vibe and all the choices of seafood fare you could want. Menu is simply and straight forward. We started with the Oysters on the half shell. They were perfect and well prepared. I got the Wahoo with the habanero-orange topping. It was spot on and very well cooked. My wife had the grouper and it was well prepared and tasted great. Even the sides were great. I had the corn on the cob and cole slaw; both were great. The staff was excellent and very friendly. They have a huge bar and a huge raw bar with all the seafood on display (cool for the kids). Great view on the water (Bare Foot Landing). Good local beer selections and in a great location with lots of shops around and the House of Blues next door. Definitely worth a visit.

    Mahi dip delicious! Calamari app was amazing, this delight came with a sweet chilli sauce which is a wonderful surprise. Cajun Asian wrap....it was good pairing of the sweet and blackened salmon. Also ordered ahi tuna tacos....wasabi sauce was powerful but a good match, added sour cream to even flavors. Great food. Josiah was very attentive & polite. Left off one star for not serving sushi at lunch time. Its the off season so I understand.

    Just arrived and we feel at home. Happy Hour 4-8....great prices and great food...will update if possible when happy hour is over...lol OK so after three oyster shooters 3 bucks each, two brown nut beers on draft 2.75 each, fried calamari 6 bucks, 6 oysters on the half shell 6 dollars, I can honestly say....I have found my new local hang out.. My wife had California roll 5 dollars, rib pile 5 dollars, and two red ale drafts 2.75 each. Both very good apps. We also split hush puppies that come with a type of brown sugar butter....awesome. We walked out spending 62 bucks that included a ten dollar tip. In my opinion 47 dollars for food and drinks, 5 dollars to Uncle Sam not bad for everything we ate. Great place, very fresh and super staff!!!

    I should have known better. Why oh why! I did know better and still did it! What you ask? I went into one of those tourists trap seafood restaurants in one of those God forsaken tourist trap shopping resorts! Yes this place scores well in the amount of reviews it has received, but my theory on that is its reviewed by tourists! It's inside the Barefoot Landing Center which right when I saw it I should've driven right into the intercoastal waterway! I didn't, and I payed for it. I tried the Caesar salad which was average at best with the dressing still in a cup! Next, the fried flounder sandwich. The fish was fresh, but absolutely bland to the core. It's topped with BLT and American cheese. American cheese? Yes, like eating a hamburger but instead fish. Blah! The clam chowder was a large bowl that was maybe filled a 1/4" deep. The Mahi tacos actually were good and tasty, but even those were served with a boxed rice that left you wondering, aren't you supposed to be a slightly above standard seafood joint? Skip the kids meal BTW, as the Mac n Cheese was Kraft right out of the box! And to charge $5 with no drink for the kids meal? Anyway, keep fooling the gullible tourists while you can, as you'll be the next large building standing empty on the Grand Strand! Definitely this is a catch and release seafood joint as it's definitely spoiled and lacking any creativity that's not written on a box!

  • Daniel C.

    It seems like I'm back again and again - they have the best seafood offerings and a great staff ensuring you have the best experience. It starts with a complimentary creamy mahi dip which is absolutely delicious. My go to entree is their daily catch cooked in their signature preparation (pan seared and cornmeal encrusted) with a lime butter sauce. No matter what the catch of the day is, its always fresh and it always goes well with the signature preparation and always tastes delicious! Great happy hour deals too!

    This review is for their non-fish items. I'm a seafood lover, not necessarily fish lover, so I got the soft shell crab and fried oysters. The soft shell crab was good but that's a hard dish to mess up. Everything else was terrible. The oysters tasted like battered salty goo and the fries were soggy and sad looking. There first mistake was cutting them into boring thick rectangles. How does one mess up fries??! My non seafood eating friends got chicken salad and burgers which the said were mediocre and overpriced. I usually wouldn't mind paying a lot for seafood but this was just not worth it. My friends who are fish said it was pretty. But still... Not worth the price.

  • Brad B.

    Good, if a little pricy. Fish selections are not on the menu, but listed at the market and the waiter. I did get to try shark for the first time. It was good, but the cajun seasoning was a little overwhelming. I would probably go for something a little more subtle next time. It was not that it was too hot, I rather liked it, but more that it was all that I could taste. My girlfriend liked they shrimp and grits, a little bit different take that some of the more traditional styles. For appetizers, the complementary smoked mahi-mahi is good. The hush puppies were good, came with a really tasty cinnamon butter. All in all, would definitely go back.

    took family to this restaurant, ordered raw oysters, seafood nachos, jumbolyia and crabcakes, waiter was very friendly and always kept our glasses full, the oysters were very clean and had great flavor, very fresh. the seafood nachos were excellent, lots of crab meat see pics, great flavor and we're not heavy. The jumbolyia was good, ingredients were fresh lots of shrimp, sausage and chicken in a red sauce over rice. My wife got the crabcakes, they looked amazing great presentation however they were greasy and she did not finish them. that's the reason for the 4 stars, kids had a burger and chicken fingers, burger was good size cooked well and tasted good, fries were excellent fresh cut and crispy. I would recommend coming here.

    Bar and seating is very confusing. Bar had a happy hour from 4-7 but my fish bowl was watered down and not that good. Food was good on all ends, but a 1.5 hour wait and slow table service was a turn off. Would try someplace new.

  • Jenn M.

    Excellent food--both the jambalaya and crab cakes are generous portions and perfectly seasoned. The fresh fish options are all wonderful. However, we experienced lukewarm service--our server was inattentive (did not clear empty plates, failed to refill drinks, etc.). Would definitely go back for the food with hopes of having a different server.

  • Chad E.

    While this isn't quite the much-more-famous market in Seattle, it's about as close as you can get in the Myrtle Beach area (and in a restaurant to boot). They are situated nicely towards the back end of Barefoot Landing, just to the side of the Alabama Theater, and not far from the House of Blues. If you're on the other side of Barefoot, it is a bit of a hike (by foot), but it's still not far - and they may be one of the best options for dining if this is where you find yourself and your stomach is growling. The good news is that the place is big, so there is plenty of seating. The even better news is that they have happy hour specials throughout the bar area, which actually encompasses most of the downstairs. You don't really get a view of the waterway, but you can see it easily enough - and you can typically be seated faster rather than waiting, so you need to decide which is more important to you. Staff is typically eager to please, which is a bonus at touristy-places like this, and food works well, if not spectacularly. Maybe the absolutely best part, however, is being able to toss a fish yourself. That's right, ask nicely and they will set you up with a fish that you can toss over the counter to a partner fish monger on the other side of the counter. Awesome.

    We decided to try out Flying Fish based on yelpers reviews. There was a wait, but it was brief and they staff entertains by putting on a fish market show, educating observers about the fish and tossing them while yelling "heave-ho" (or something like that). There were 4 adults and 4 children at our table. The kids were provided with the usual crayons and activity page/menu which is always appreciated. We're all pretty split on our meals. My sister-in-law and I thought the seafood nachos were ok. My brother raved about his grouper and his calamari app. I loved my fish tacos. The kids all liked the fries but their main dishes from the kids menu were disappointing. That said, I'd give it a second chance and order the fish tacos again. The three different in-house beers were all yummy.

  • jesse s.

    There are two listings for this restaurant, and the other one has, to my mind, more accurate reviews. It's at least worth reading both entries. The food here is fine, and, if it were half the price, the restaurant would be worth going to. The poblano shrimp dip appetizer sounded wonderful and was boring--how do you make something with those ingredients boring? The fried oysters were very good, and the fried tilapia and shrimp were pretty good, but the flounder on the specials menu was uninteresting, and the rice and green beans that came on the side were apparently rescued from a microwave dinner. The hush puppies were pretty tasty--I should have ordered a plate of those (which is possible, as an appetizer). The draught pale ale had a nice flavor--a little too creamy for my taste, but maybe I'm unfairly biased against nitrogen in my beer. My wife had a watermelon margarita--it's the kind of place that serves watermelon margaritas. We sat outside on the deck overlooking the water, which was a nice place to sit. We got there very early and had our pick of tables; by the time we left--which was still embarrassingly early for dinner--there was already a 45-minute wait. It's certainly not worth that.

    I couldn't get my family to make the drive south to Murrel's Inlet so I had to look for someplace closer to N. Myrtle beach to find good seafood. This place was a good choice. The food was fresh, the portion was just right and everything I had tasted great. I started with some jumbalaya (they were out of clam chowder) and had the mixed grill entree- scallops, salmon, and shrimp. The scallops were really good, maybe the best I've had out to eat, and the rest was just a step behind but still good. I also had some of the crab cakes which were also good but not the best ever. Still I walked out very happy and full. Maybe the best part was the beer, as Flying Fish is a brewery and they had their beers on tap so you don't have to drink all the same tired taps you get everywhere else. No growlers for sale tho :-(

  • Lisa R.

    This place was ok. The atmosphere was nice. Clean. Attractive. Fish market theme was cool. I noticed there were some guys entertaining some guests by throwing a huge grouper back and forth by the seafood counter. In the Ladies restroom they had a complimentary salt scrub out to try on your hands. Always like things like that. Service was a little slow. Our waitress was friendly though. Food. We had the shrimp dip for an appetizer. It was good. Would have liked something other than fried flour tortillas to dip. For our meals my boyfriend had the blackened flank steak over risotto and I had the jerk chicken. We had side salads as well. The salads were good mine had pecans and goldfish crackers which was makes points with me. Both of us thought our meat was very good but the sides were a bit disappointing. Veggies too soft. Rice bland. I liked the mango salsa on my chicken. So we had some good food and some blah food. Not a total loss.

    This is our favorite restaurant in Myrtle Beach....all of the food we've ever gotten there has be excellent. We like to go there for their happy hour and eat appetizers. It has a nice relaxing atmosphere and I'd say it's priced similar to Red Lobster.

    Happy hour 4-7 in the bar area is one heck of a deal. $1 PBR and $3.50 for 6 oysters on the half shell! We tried the calamari - a 7 rating - cooked more than I liked. The 1/2 rack of ribs for $7.50 were relish! This is a really nice place and a great experience.

    As posted, the name is wrong. Went with the wife and three year old on a Thursday evening. Not crowded given it being the off season. Nice looking place with a well appointed bar. Staff were very pleasant and good with the kid. Started off with raw oysters on the half shell and fried pickles. The oysters were a tad undersized but it's not their season; also very briney but in a good way. Pickles were quartered and all three of us enjoyed. Wife had salmon which was properly cooked and she enjoyed. I had the seafood steamer which I call a pot (crab clusters, shrimp, mussels, mud bugs and sausage). Good sized portion with large shrimp and mussels. The snow crab was also well sized and very tasty. Only issue was this particular pot was supposed to come with a king cluster and a snow cluster but mine came with two snows. Didn't think about it till later but I was stuffed anyway. Had a a good pale ale draft and the wife had two glasses of wine. Kid's menu is basic and should satisfy most. Price came to $88 without the tip which I thought to be a very good portion/taste to value ratio for the beach. Also, being from SC, I enjoy fresh steamed/boiled seafood to their fried counterparts. Although many restaurants in the area cater to fried seafood, I was impressed with the number of choices and taste of the raw/steamed items that I ordered.

    Very good food and very reasonably priced! We would definitely choose this restaurant over any buffets in Myrtle Beach. We were there in the off season (end of February) on a Saturday night earlyish, there was no wait. Great drink specials before 8pm, service was great, food delish!! Should have tried the sweet potato fries as someone suggested, seafood nachos would have been better with regular tortilla chips, not a fan of the flour chips!

  • Chris P.

    Great seafood place at Barefoot Landing. Nice atmosphere and good water views from the back of the restaurant. We visited kind of early on a weekday and there was no wait. We ordered hushpuppies and buffalo shrimp as appetizers. The hushpuppies arrived hot and fresh and were accompanied by cinnamon honey butter. They were ball shaped and nicely browned with typical hushpuppy flavor with just a hint of onion. The buffalo shrimp was awesome. We were served a good sized dish with about two dozen or so popcorn shrimp lightly battered and fried and tossed with an ample amount of buffalo sauce. Mixed in was chopped celery and bits of blue cheese. The buffalo was spicy and flavorful without overpowering the shrimp. There was enough chunks of blue cheese and celery to balance out the flavor. For our next course I had 1/2 dozen raw oysters and the wife and some sushi. I'm not sure what roll it was but it was decent enough for a non-sushi place. The oysters were average. Nothing special. The price was right for 1/2 dozen at $4.95 and they were good sized. For dinner I had the grouper with cajun seasoning. It's normally served with parmesan rice and fresh green beans. I substituted their gouda smashed potatoes for the rice. The fish was also served with a jalapeño chutney that I got on the side. I'll start with the beans. They were served fresh and al dente. Flavor was ok. They needed a little salt and pepper. The gouda smashed potatoes were outstanding. A very worthwhile substitution. The gouda paired nicely with the potatoes and gave them a great smoky flavor. The fish was fresh and well cooked but lacked any real flavor. I ended up heaving to order some cocktail sauce and used a touch of Tabasco sauce to kick it up a little. A little salt and pepper helped too. Serving size was generous. Overall a good meal and I would return.

    Great atmosphere, great food. Drinks are pricey, but what do you expect at the beach? The felt good after two dirty shirleys :) The menu has a lot to offer. They have fresh market fish, plenty of entree options including sandwiches and salads as well as a sushi bar. I ordered the sea bass grilled with the honey lime butter and mango salsa on the side. My boyfriend ordered the tilefish cajun style with the honey lime butter. If I can give one word of advice - it would be to order the honey lime butter with whatever you have. This stuff was like crack...we are still talking about it. We went on a Saturday night - the place was busy, but we were able to find seats at the bar for a pre-dinner cocktail and were seated approximately 15 minutes later. Melissa was our server and she was fantastic. Very helpful and sweet. Two entrees, two drinks and an appetizer of baked oysters cost us $85, but it was worth it!

    Food was good and reasonably priced. The service left something to be desired but we survived the experience. Sat on the upper outside deck and many of the chairs were partially broken. The best thing was we can just take the golf cart from the condo to the restaurant.

    Went for the happy hour with my 2yr old twins. I was worried about the wait and and the bar area where they do happy hour having low tables. I needn't have worried. The bar has lots of low tables.They are first come first serve and I only had to wait a few minutes for one to be cleared around 6pm. The decor is nice. Location at barefoot landing is nice. We were able to walk with the stroller to great ice cream at molly's ( maggie moos ice cream-one of my faves), the tiger exhibit, the carousel and the shops. I ordered off the happy hour menu and got 6 oysters on the half shell for $5, calamari for $5 and a shrimp pizza for 7. The the oysters were good. Fresh and pretty big. A deal for $5 and the main reason i went. The calamari was good. Lots of legs and rings with a tangy sweet dipping sauce that my daughter liked. Not the melt in your mouth best I've ever had kind. The pizza was small. More of a personal size. The crust was limp and rubbery like a frozen pizza that had been microwaved. The sauce on it had good flavor though. Very few shrimp. I would have expected better crust and shrimp for this restaurant. My kids wouldn't even eat it.

    Kinda pricey, but the food was worth it! The server was very nice and helpful in giving his opinion on the popular items on the menu. They gave us complementary smoked tuna salad as an appetizer (so good we wish we had gotten more!). We ordered the calamari as an appetizer and the fire grilled rainbow trout with lime butter and I got the local's feast. The calamari was good but nothing wowish, but the entrées were amazing! The trout was cooked so well and was delicious and the local ' feast was more food than we could handle. Again, a little pricey, but still delicious. We would definitely come back here!

    The group I dined with mostly got the fish n chips but I had the snow feast. Gloriously large snow crab legs, smoked sausage, corn on the cob and red potatoes. Since it was our last dinner in Myrtle Beach, I wanted to go out with a crackle and pop. The crab meat came out so easily - you could sense how fresh it was. My mom had the scallops which are normally fried but the kitchen was more than willing to grill them instead. They were big and meaty - she thoroughly enjoyed them. Our server was very accommodating to our party of 9 and kept the drinks coming. The blackberry margarita was a tad sweet for my taste but all in all, it was a good meal.

  • Greg N.

    Great happy hour as so many others mentioned. Nice central bar very cool ambiance. Had a delectable dozen oysters for only $9. For dinner had the soft shell crab, oysters, and scallops. Only reason not 5* was the soft shell not so great, but everything else delicious.

  • Kevin M.

    We ate here based off the good reviews here, and it being the highest rated restaurant on urban spoon. It looked promising when we arrived. I ordered the nut brown ale and thought it was a good beer for the price. The sweet potato appetizer was delicious. We decided to split the flying fish specialty for two. The crab legs were ok, but everything else was over cooked and bland. On top of the lackluster entree the staff was very unattentive, and missing when needed.

    This review is only for Happy Hour: Crowded and loud, but deservedly so, this is MB's best Happy Hour. Not your average Bud Lite/fried HH, but microbrews, cocktails and healthier, fresher food. So good we went two nights in a row.

    Went here for lunch and it was outstanding. Arrived at noon on a Tuesday in August. Lunch meals were priced around $8-$9 which was for a large sandwich, fries, and slaw. Drinks were extra. Got a $5 coupon at the information desk in the shopping area. Portions were huge, and the food was very good. They also brought out some sort of fish dip and cracker thing when we sat down. It was like tuna but much much better. Man was it good. The coleslaw was also outstanding. Very dry which I liked a lot. If you like it runny and sloppy, then you'll hate this coleslaw. There was a great view of the water, bathrooms were clean, and service was fast. They also had plenty of space to park the strollers. I'm not sure what the other restaurants are like at Barefoot, but I can't imagine them being any better than this. Again, this is especially true considering the prices.

  • Kristina U.

    We had reservations so there was no wait. The hush puppies and shrimp dip we ordered as appetizers were ok, nothing special. The shrimp and grits were great, as was the flying fish specialty (steamed seafood). Our server was very nice. Nice place to go with family.

  • Gary C.

    We've been eating at the Flying Fish every couple of weeks since it opened. The service has always been good and on many occasions outstanding. The seafood is fresh and having the fish market in the restaurant is a nice touch. They always have a wide selection of fresh fish and can prepare the fish to your tastes. Happy hour is outstanding with discounted appetizers, drinks, and their house beers. Overall, this is a great restaurant.

    Repeat customer & this time we brought another family with us. We haven't been disappointed yet! Food was perfect! Service was great! They refilled everyone's drinks including the kids without us having to look for them. Fish was fresh, raw oysters were so fresh & yummy! We saw a fee little girls throw one of the large fishes from the fridge to one of the guys behind the counter. No she didn't drop it. We will be back!

    I don't usually give 5 stars, but for this area (N. Myrtle Beach, SC), this place is the best my wife and I could find during our weeklong vacation in N. Myrtle Beach, without having to drive for more than 20 minutes. The in-house beers were quite tasty (we sampled the White Ale and the Nut Brown Ale), the food was perfectly prepared, just the way we had ordered (which was all the better, since they were extremely busy the night we were there), and the wait staff were prompt and sweet (Brittany was great with all of our questions). Definitely would recommend this place to anyone visiting (or living) in N. Myrtle Beach who is a bit pickier than most (like I am), and who is not looking for the all-you-can-eat seafood buffets. The Yellowfin Tuna dish that we shared was absolutely perfect, and the cheddar mashed potatoes were a nice complimentary side dish. Definitely quality food and beer here. Give it a try! -Mike from Washington, DC

  • Dela P.

    Place was nice, good to see fresh fish. My wife and I had the calamari, Tilapia, and Mahi. The calamari was ok, the breading was a bit tough on some pieces but not bad. The Mahi w/butter and lemon sauce was alright but not as flavorful as I would have liked. The red rice and green beans on the side were great. The Tilapia (cajun style) was great and very flavorful. All in all a good experience, would have to eat here again and try other dishes for further review.

    I went there a few days ago with a group of girlfriends. We started at the bar for happy hour and we all got their signature margaritas. They were delicious! And at $4 during happy hour they were a great deal. They also have appetizer specials, we got the hushpuppies and the chipotle shrimp dip, both were scrumptious! Dinner was wonderful, the fish was very fresh and the Gouda mashed potatoes were awesome. The service was friendly and fun, and we got to throw the fish! Definitely a great place for families and adults alike.

  • Lindsay I.

    Went for Happy Hour and the drinks were meh. My husband (the brewer and beer head) ordered the IPA and it was kegged improperly resulting in too much gas - when he brought it to the waitresses attention she was rude about it. My parents tried the calamari and it was not well done. The Margarita was lacking alcohol. The only OK thing was the Cooper River Red. Wouldn't recommend or return.

    We had a good time at the Flying Fish. We arrived at 6:15pm on a Thursday night and waited about 15 mins for a table for two (first available). We ended up being seated outside which was only half full... So I'm not quite sure why it took so long to be seated. Our waitress was friendly and the atmosphere was nice. We ordered the three different appetizers and they were all good. We were a bit surprised that the nachos used tortilla flour chips instead of regular chips (my wife cannot eat glutten) but other than that everything was as expected. The prices were reasonable and every dish I saw (even on other tables) looked really good. The restaurant is like a nicer and more unique version of Bonefish. I would like to go back next time we are in Myrtle Beach.

  • Emily M.

    My family and I walked in during happy hour, wanting some decent seafood and not insane prices. We'd been trying to find a place that rated high, and wasn't going to be a massive tourist trap that provided lower quality food. The waitress pointed out the incredibly fresh fish that they use, and got us seated. We had Mahi-Mahi salad as a complementary appetizer. The service was quick and attentive, and our view was right on the water. I got the crab cakes entree, and the rest of the family got the fish and chips. The crab cakes were light and delicious, and I got four on the plate, which was a surprise. The fish and chips were also light, and apparently also really good. We were also tempted to get the Grouper sandwich, which looked amazing, but also massive. The guy sitting near us sat there, looking at it for a few moments, trying to figure out how he was even going to eat it. The prices for entrees start around $9 and go up to around $30, depending on if you get a regular entree or a catch of the day, but the portions are huge as well. You're definitely getting your money's worth, and the food is high quality.

    Great spot for fresh seafood. We went here one day at 5 PM during our Myrtle Beach stay, as we had tickets for the evening show at the Alabama Theatre next door. The interior is modern, open, well lit and very clean, all of which contributes to a pleasant atmosphere. They also have a fish market to the right as you walk in, so you are able to view many of the fresh selections. We had a large party (6 adults, 5 kids), but they were able to seat us immediately at this early hour. Decent kids menu, but I prefer to see more seafood options on it at a seafood restaurant than what they offered. The adult menu afforded many options ranging from sandwiches to higher end selections such as Lobster and steak. Not surprisingly, they seem to place a focus on the fish, as they offer a number of different methods for its preparation. Basically, the menu prices range from about $10-$30, with a few items coming in at $40+. Service was top notch. For appetizers, we tried the Fried Calamari and Loaded Sweet Potato Fries. Both were excellent. The calamari was served with a sweet, mildly spicy chili sauce for dipping which pleased me greatly. I have given up on ordering fried calamari in most restaurants, as I am tired of the same stale side of marinara that is frequently served with it. This sauce was a very nice compliment to the fresh, not 'rubberized', perfectly breaded squid. The sweet potato fries were amazing. They are covered with both bleu cheese crumbles and dressing. If you do stop here to eat, I highly recommend these, as I have not seen the like elsewhere. I wasn't terribly hungry this evening, so I opted for an appetizer as my entree. I ordered the Seafood Nachos. And this is why I am not giving Flying Fish five stars. It arrived cold and looked very unappealing. As for everybody else, their food arrived hot and was reportedly delicious. So, for the most part, I will consider this an aberration possibly due to the size of our party. I sent them back and changed my order to the Fish Tacos, which were quite good. But (and this impressed me), since they obviously had to prepare the tacos while the rest of my party ate, the manager personally delivered about a dozen freshly steamed and very large shrimp to me so I would not be the only one who was not eating. Very classy move. It should also be noted that the fried grouper sandwich, which was ordered and enjoyed by a party member, was outstanding. I live on the gulf coast of florida and we take pride in our grouper down here. But this was a huge piece of fish, perfectly fried with a delectable crust. If you are in Myrtle and looking for good seafood, good atmosphere and a wide range of options, check out Flying Fish

    Wonderful decor with excellent water views. We came for lunch and got the mahi mahi and salmon. Fish and sides of rice and green beans were great. Very fresh. Was a little pricey for lunch but you get what you pay for and the quality and freshness of the food was worth it.

    My wife and I loved this place. In fact, we'll probably come back here one more night while we're in town on our long weekend getaway. Sit at the bar. The atmosphere is great.

    Restaurant was very busy but were seated immediately. The oysters were the freshest and best that I have ever had, also had the ahi tuna and a soft shell crab blt. All of the seafood was very flavorful and and came with an ample portion. Server was preoccupied with her cell phone and mediocre at best. We were seated in the lower level and the view was spectacular. We will definitely visit again.

    Last night my wife and I went for the happy hour dinner. We ordered the grouper grilled and fish and chips. Both came extremely well-done absolutely beautiful.

  • Jay C.

    Found this restaurant more or less by accident. It's in a run-down looking strip mall in N. Myrtle Beach. DON'T let that turn you away! The food is GREAT and very reasonably priced. The entree is big enough for two to share comfortably. Their fresh Spring Rolls are fantastic - not fried, but the good glass-noodle and rice-paper wrap kind with an excellent peanut sauce. NOTE: it's THAI! They have mild dishes, but if you usually get "three flame hot" you may want to try the "medium" instead. I like hot/spicy and this was very good, but tended more to the hotter than the milder. If you order "Hot" - - well - be prepared. There were two couples and we all enjoyed what we had and were pleasantly surprised by the low total cost. If you like Thai, this family run restaurant is as good as any. Pfft to the atmosphere! I like good food!

    I wanted to give this place 5 stars but I cant. The service the night we went was horrible. It took 20 minutes to order, 20 minutes to bring the food, our toddler at our table didn't get his food any earlier and we were with empty drinks a majority of the time. I'm hoping it was an off night. That said, everyone loved their food. The hush puppies were the most traditional we've tasted in the area. Most of us had the tile fish, local to here, and the can style was actually better than the signature preparation, our table thought. The mahi-mahi dip they offer at first is ok. We would try this place again, to be sure the service issues were really a one time thing.

  • Lani G.

    I relied on local Yelpers to help me find a good place to eat while on vacation in Myrtle Beach and I was definitely not let down! They serve smoked fish dip and crackers when you sit down and it was pretty good. They should've brought more than one small serving for 5 people, but we each had a bite and it was good. My mom and I ordered two appetizers of oysters - steamed and Parmesan - and they were just ok. The oysters were pretty small. The Parmesan ones were a little less than ok. The cheese was hard as a rock and inedible, so it was just peeled off and the oysters eaten. For my entree, I had the seafood nachos appetizer. It was ginormous and delicious! I asked what kind of seafood was on it since it wasn't specified on the menu. Our server said that when they cut down the fish (Mahi, grouper, swordfish, etc) into certain size portions, the extra gets put to the side for nachos. There was also scallops and shrimp. It was big enough for 3 people. My mom had shrimp and grits and it was delicious! No complaints at all there. Stepdad had fried shrimp and scallops and they were delicious to. He gave me some scallops (yay for me!) because he was full and I removed the fried coating and just at the meat. It was sweet and tender and cooked perfectly. Prices were good, food was good, service was good - I'd definitely go back fink had the opportunity!

    Crab dinner was amazing. Best one I had during my visit to Myrtle! Everything served with the meal was good. Service was A+! Our server was very nice, he explained the menu, and throughly went over the daily catches and mentioned the market prices. He was also very good at explaining what some of the fish tasted like. Some, we had never heard of, and it didn't throw him off his game for a second. We arrived around 5:30 and were seated right away. By the time we left there was a pretty big crowd waiting for tables. If I ever go back to MB, this will be the first place I stop for dinner!

  • Jon Z.

    When we arrived we were told it would be a 90 minute wait. Which mind you is long but we didn't mind since we all wanted to so shopping and browse the stores at Barefoot Landing. They had a unique pager/texting system to let you know your table was ready. They give you 5 minutes after the text to claim your table. Overall the food was good. The prices were not sky high. But the service was mediocre. The waiter was lost in the fish sauce? We never received the calamari we ordered? My oysters on the half shell were fresh. The kids shared a huge clam boil. They ate two dozen clams, corn and sausage. The boss and I both had the grouper. We both got it flame grilled, I got mine with mango chutney and she got the honey lime butter. The kids also liked the fish so that is saying something. I would go again. Just hope we have a different waiter.

  • Jason S.

    (3.5 stars) Barefoot Landing has a number of different dinner options but I figure, if I'm visiting Myrtle Beach, I'm gonna have me some fish or seafood. And this place was a solid choice for doing so. They have a variety of different fish to choose from and I went with the swordfish, cajun style with fresh herb cream sauce. The cajun preparation with the herb sauce made for a really awesome flavor combination, but the fish was definitely overcooked. Even through the strong flavors, I could still notice the fish being slightly too tough. Nevertheless, it was still an enjoyable piece of fish. It was served with green beans and rice which weren't great. The rice was okay but the green beans didn't taste fresh at all and they were super bland. And they had no added preparation, no seasoning or noticeable texture. With such a compelling piece of fish, I would expect equally interesting sides to go with it.

  • Eric S.

    Good fish selection and drink menu. Very clean and big. Service didn't take too long even though the place was packed. Told us it would be a 45 minute wait and it was only about 25 minutes which was good cause it gave us some time to explore the shops near the restaurant ( they send you a text when your table is ready.

  • Danielle T.

    Amazing food and waitstaff. The fish is all fresh and you can tell. The sushi, mahi mahi, coconut shrimp, salmon, and jambalaya are all amazing. Prices aren't too bad. The restaurant is located right on the river so ask to sit either upstairs or downstairs in the back for the best views. We did have a few issues that were all handed wonderfully by the staff. When we went to be seated they couldn't find a place to seat us despite the restaurant not being busy at all. They ended up just throwing us at a table that wouldn't work out. We requested to move and got a table with a view. For our trouble they gave us two complimentary appetizers. We chose coconut shrimp and hush puppies. Both were good. It was completely unnecessary for them to do this as it really wasn't a big deal. The second issue was that my grandma ordered a steak to be medium raw and it came medium well to well done. She told our waitress who got a new one out to her in about 7-10 minutes. The third issue is that she then charged us for two steaks instead of the one. This was quickly fixed. The waitress was a pleasure to work with as was the manager. The customer service is top notch!

  • Kara C.

    Smoked mahi spread was very good for starters. Appetizers were shrimp salsa which we didn't care for. It was basically all salad dressing. Fish wasn't very good. Mine was dry and had no flavor. My husband and I thought it tasted like hospital food. If u are going to eat here better get it fried. . Not able to recommend this one.

  • Khalid B.

    Came here while on vacation with family. Must say we came here famished so we ordered a good bit of good. Initially they said we would have a 90-120 min wait, but only waited about 45 min. The people who worked there are nice, but I must say the service was not great. We ordered three things that never made it to our table, though everything else seemed to come on time. In terms of the food. It was very average to me, not good and not terrible. I ordered the jambalaya, which was OK. I am not used to a lot of liquid with my jambalaya, and this one did. Flavor was OK, but not great. We also got hush puppies, were good, as well as fish and chips (good) and a fried platter ,( very good). For the wait would have thought the food would be better but was enjoyable.

    The valet attendant at our hotel recommended this place and we were quite pleased. They don't do reservations for party of 2's but on a Friday night, we were seated quickly. I loved the complimentary fish dip they have, it was smoked mahi mahi with cream cheese based. I wish they served it with some good crusty bread instead of the saltine crackers, but the dip was good. I ordered the green goddess salad, a lil spicy but only if u got a larger chunk of jalepeno. It comes with a lot of shrimp. I also got 2 clusters of snow crab legs and I ate the heck out of those crab legs! Highly seasoned and the extra sprinkle of old bay seasoning on the plate was perfect to use. Husband ordered the Parmesan and garlic baked oysters. The Parmesan was layered pretty thick so he needed up peeling the cheese off. And the fish and chips he got were awesome. The beer batter held up even with a good douse of vinegar, If u want some seafood, this would be a good start.

  • Jon S.

    Great place. Non-pretentious. Not overthought. Just straightforward seafood, beautifully cooked. They also had a beautiful 'fresh catch' counter so you could physically see the fish that they had in stock... a nice touch. There's a lot of kitschy and gimmicky 'all-you-can-eat-crab-legs' type spots in the surrounding area that make me question their quality. This isn't one of those places.

  • Holli S.

    The food was good, pretty much what you'd expect in a tourist area. Definitely a step up from the buffets, and had a selection of non fried foods to choose from which isn't so easy to come by. We got there in time to have a couple of drinks at Happy Hour price, Really enjoyed the Illusive Traveler Grapefruit beer. The Hang Ten was to sweet for my taste, but the bartender was very nice about adding some sour mix. The shrimp and grits were good, and the fire roasted Tile fish was nicely cooked. We saved room for dessert, but there aren't any. Just as well, I guess you're supposed to walk around Barefoot Landing and get something sweet. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

    Great place to eat with fantastic happy hour specials. We enjoyed the sushi and oysters on the happy hour menu for less than $10 each. Happy hour rail drinks and draft beers run around $3. I wouldn't recommend the happy hour shrimp pizza. It was a little on the cheesy side, but everything else we had was great. The oysters were a good deal for the price. I also suggest trying the Oyster Shooter. It's like a mini Bloody Mary in a shot glass with an oyster in it.

    Stopped in for Happy Hour as we cruised north on the ICW. The happy hour menu at the bar has some great selections. We tried the Buffalo Shrimp and the Rib Stack. The ribs were really good and the shrimp were served with celery and blue cheese crumbles on top. We tried the white peach sangria which was recommended by our server. Others in our party tried the Red Sangria. Both were good, but I liked the white one better. Our friends tried the fritters, oysters and the sushi rolls. No one was disappointed. This is definitely a good stop for happy hour if you are in the area!

  • Christopher N.

    Very good meal. I would stick to the fish, since it's their claim to fame and they do it well. Server was great and attentive. Texas tea was delish and $10 for a big goblet of it. I had "tile" fish. Now I never had Tile Fish before, so I can't compare it. Maybe it was just Mahi Mahi cooked with some more butter?? j/k but it was good. My only gripe is that the ceiling. for whatever reason I find myself looking up from time to time, and if you're seated in the top section up the stairs, don't look at the ceiling. It's pretty gross - dusty from the air vents that are never cleaned. Sagging tiles as well. yuck. advice to management, keep that thing clean!

    Found this place with Yelp, and decided to check it out while we're in Myrtle Beach. Upon entering, we were told that there would be a 10-15 minute wait so we headed to the bar to order some drinks first. I went with their signature fishbowl drink; the Hammerhead, while my friend got a malibu and pineapple. Immediately after we ordered the drinks, our table was ready. I was rather impressed by their speedy service. The Hammerhead is an excellent drink choice, it lasted me throughout the whole night. We started with the coconut shrimp and the crispy calamari, which arrived within 5 minutes of our order. The calamari was cooked the right way, which was good. The sweet chili sauce that came with it gave it a good flavor addition. In my opinion, the coconut on the coconut shrimp was a little too sweet, but when added with the mango dipping sauce it came with was great. The service was excellent, everything came within 5 minutes of each other and our server, despite being brand new, was very sweet and courteous. We then got fish from the catch of the day selection. You can choose how the fish is cooked and what kind of sauce you want on the side. My friend got the fire seared Mahi Mahi with Habanero-Chutney, and I went with the cajun style Wahoo with Mango Salsa. The fish was delicious, fresh and chewier than the Mahi, which had a nice soft texture to it. In my opinion the cajun seasoning on the fish was a bit overdone. They used Old Bay seasoning, which added to the flavor but also added to the sodium content. The outside layer of the fish was coated in seasoning, so I pried it off and ate the inside of the fish, which was delicious of course. Overall, a great market and bar atmosphere,I would definitely come by the next time I am in Myrtle Beach.

    This place was top-notch. The complementary mahi mahi dip was so yummy we asked for seconds. I ordered crab legs which had the most delicious seasoning. Best crab legs I'd ever eaten. The shrimp was great. The sweet potato fry appetizer was so unique and flavorful. The sweet tea was perfect. Our server was fantastic and even the atmosphere was delightful. It place was very clean! We are here for a week and have already talked about going back a second time it was so great. 5-stars for Flying Fish market all around.

    Awesome happy hour! Was first greeted with smoked mahi mahi dip and crackers which was pretty good. Tasted heavily of mayo but loved the smoked flavor! Got the hush puppies with honey butter: SO GOOD! But I've never had bad hush puppies lol. The ribs: some parts were dry but for the most part good and bbq dipping sauce makes up for it! Oysters: they were clean and light Oyster shooter: it was alright Friend's margarita was definitely way watered down and couldn't taste the alcohol at all:/ so that was a downside But overall good happy hour deals! Got packed fast too so get there early!

    Very busy but easy to seat parties of 2. Patio seating in July is sweltering w only the occasional breeze. But inside was 45-90min wait time. So make reservations or be prepared to wait! Steamed outlets were tiny but clean and tasty. I had catch of the day rainbow trout, signature prep wc is cornbread dusted then sautéed w the cream herb sauce on d side. The trout was light and fresh and perfectly cooked. It didn't need any fancy sauces, just a pinch of salt and some fresh lemon. Hubby had fried shrimp snd clam strips. Waitress was honest and admitted they were both frozen. Shrimp was decent, but clam strips were dull and rubbery. They took 10% off our bill for that wc was decent of them. Gouda mashed potatoes were fabulous. Would return to try other menu items, but will stick to fresh catches for sure.

    Great happy hour! Sangria is good. Oysters are nice. Sushi is on happy hour, my husband gets that. Sangria red and white always three bucks only. Great fish specials! I like the cream sauce and it prepared signature. Gouda mashed as a side are fabulous. They give u a dip spread w crackers to start free. Ask to throw the fish! Watch out he throws a fake one at u when u throw the real one at him to scare u. Service is great! A bunch of locals and tourists mixed. Can get crowded. They have deck seating. We like it and stop by every yr we are here from NJ.

    I don't have a bad thing to say. Really great service, food was excellent and not overly stuffing. Everything tastes great, and not to mention it came out pretty quick. The atmosphere is really nice too! I got the mahi mahi, done Cajun style. Comes with green beans and rice. So good! Tender fish. The star of the night might even be the app, I got clam chowder, one of the best I've had. Price wise -- can't complain!

  • Ralph M.

    This is by far the best meal my family has had in a long time. The fish was fresh and delicious. We had the Amber Jack fish, a crab roll, and 2 kid meals. My son loved the fried shrimp and my daughter had Mac and cheese and even tried the fish and loved it. The waiter Bryan was excellent. The manager Beth was truly remarkable as she made sure everything was perfect. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is very nice. Make sure you come to Flying Fish when you are in Myrtle Beach.

  • Tom S.

    Terrible! Soup was not good at all. Was supposed to be New England Clam. Had better from cans. Neither of us finished it. Fish tacos and nachos were no better, again we did not finished them. When mentioned to waitress after each course all she would do is bend over exposing her chest. Don't go for the food.

  • Anthony C.

    We had a great time dining here. The staff are well informed, and are very friendly, but not too intrusive. The Fish Mongers are fun and very interactive with the guests as they throw the fish back and forth. The food is awesome! I had the shrimp risotto and my wife had the crab cakes. The bar specials are truly specials with cocktails at $5. We will definitely be back.

    My girlfriend and I decided to try this place out based on reviews from both Yelp and from a random list of reviews we found in "Myrtle Beach Restaurant News". (There look to be some other good ones in there, too.) We're glad we did. We went for Happy Hour and being a Sunday I think helped a lot. The restaurant wasn't crowded at all (it became so later on though). The appetizers were quite tasty (boiled shrimp & a sushi roll) and the bartenders were all very friendly and prompt. Since it was early we didn't get to see too many fish flying, but a few kids did get to get in on the action towards dinner time! They shout as they toss the fish. At least one mom looked disgusted at the giant fish, but her daughter seemed to be having a blast! I decided to try a few of their beers and the white beer and lager both tasted a bit watered down, but the red ale was quite tasty. That's all a matter of personal taste though. Happy Hour went so well we decided to grab a table for dinner and invite my parents to join us. Our timing was a bit off on getting a table though as it took my parents a while to find the restaurant. I apologized to the waitress while we ordered drinks and an appetizer, but she didn't mind one bit and remained patient and as friendly as could be. We shared several main dishes: Trout, salmon & a low country boil plate. I would get any of them again. The trout might have been my favorite though. The view where we were seated overlooking the river towards sunset was very appealing as well. After dinner, you can wander around the shops and there is a Maggie Moos Ice Cream just a few doors down if you still somehow have room for dessert. This was a really good find and should I find myself in Myrtle again, I'll definitely be heading back here.

    I come here for the happy hour menu at the bar from 4-8. I wrote this restaurant off until I came to try HH a month ago. My previous dining experiences were mediocre at best but everything I have ordered from the HH menu has been great! Service is good at bar. Once tourist season begins I will take a hiatus from dining here because I am sure HH will end until winter.

    Dine in screened porch over water or high ceiling wood dining room. Select your fish, cooking method, and seasonings. Comes with vegies and rice. Paid about $13 for plate. Delicious meal with beautiful view. Will go again.

    Try the fish nachos, really enjoyed these. Grilled fish and shrimp piled high with great tasting chips, not the regular corn chips either, black beans and queso YUM. Cheap beer. I'm pretty sure the place was closed but they seated and took out orders anyway!!!

    Excellant! Fast seating outside on a Sat. Night. The BEST fried shrimp ever! We are locals & def will reccomend to our out of town guest! Delish hushpuppies too!

  • A S.

    Yuck. I've read others' reviews. I especially giggle at the Yuppie who brags about his food choices and cars. That said, I would never eat here again. The wait was short enough, 30 minutes for 5 adults and 3 kids. They don't take reservations. I had sockeye salmon, which I eat a lot...and asked for it rare. The waitress told me they had to cook it to a specifc temperature. Alright. I get it. My kids had scallops because I refuse to feed my children off the kids menu. Typical kids food. Fried and fattening. Anyway I digress. My sister had fire grilled Grouper, the other one had Mahi, and quite frankly I have no idea what my husband ate or my brother in law ate. My fish was delivered to me in a timely fashion. It was the most overcooked hard,dry, rubbery edges piece of fish I've ever eaten. Look, I am not going to brag about myself and my high quality tastes or education ...But when we asked what was on the rice that evening, which was the side, the waitress responded "tomato paste, garlic, and salt." basically, the rice was served drenched in ketchup. Reading some of the reviews, you'd think that ketchup rice would just about put anyone over the "gross" edge. The bathrooms were disgusting. DISGUSTING. toilet paper and water on the floor and paper towels overflowing out of the garbage. The soap was empty. With bathrooms that filthy, you would think that at least the soap would be full so you could wash your hands. We definitely will not eat there again.

    Although its a chain, the Flying Fish Market was a pleasant surprise for us. My wife and I tried the calimari, the spicy tuna roll and the hush puppies from the happy hour menu. Everything was great, and reasonably priced. Everything was cooked to order. For dinner (although we were already stuffed) my wife ordered a burger while I ordered a fresh fish selection. My wife enjoyed her vurger because it was cooked to her liking, and I thought my fish was freah and perfectly cooked. We both had a couple of drinks from their drink menu and liked that just as much as the food. We'll definitely be back. Also seemed like a fun place to bring a group for happy hour.

    The Flying Fish had a great atmosphere. We were seat pretty fast. We ordered the Calamari as an appetizer. It was not good. Very chewy and not that flavorful. We also ordered the rainbow trout that came with green beans and gouda smashed potatoes. The fish was okay nothing special. The green beans had no spices on them whatsoever all they needed was salt. That's a basic when cooking. But the smashed Potatoes were good, thick but good. There were no prices and very few choices. Only one side of a 10x13 menu.

  • Celia C.

    I had a hard time trying to decide what to have because the menu looked so good. I started with clam chowder which was very hearty but a bit too salty. The crab cakes were average. I wish I had gotten some of their fresh fish entrees instead. Side bar: they have an impressive happy hour menu of appetizers, sushi, and drinks.

    First time in MB, and so glad we chose this place. Dinner on Saturday night with a great view. Fresh grilled swordfish was amazing, and the hushpuppies were perfect. In fact, we went back for Sunday lunch the next day, and the market fish sandwich was just as good. Highly recommended.

    We were at North Myrtle Beach last week and ended up eating there three times for dinner. Two times at the bar to take advantage of happy hour pricing on appetizers and dinner and once in the dining room. All the meals were great. We had the seafood boil twice and ate it family style with 5 people we had the mussels, shrimp, clams and oysters and it was awesome. For appetizers we had the tuna roll, hushpuppies, calamari, raw oysters and more and it was all good. Three different servers who were all good as well as the food runners etc. The day we ate off the menu we had shrimp and grits, jambalaya, salmon and our non seafood eating son had the chicken. The managers were spot on Cici (CeCe?) we saw all three days working the room and attending to whatever needed done. We told her that we had eaten there all three times and they were very appreciative. We love non chain restaurants and will be making a return trip next time down. The mahi mahi complimentary appetizer was awesome as well. The over 21 kids enjoyed their micro brews that were happy hour priced as well. Each time we left, there was a wait / line for dinner. Nicely run place.

  • Dave M.

    Clam Chowder -OK Fresh Grouper with Cajun spice - First of all, the spice is a joke. NO flavor. The fish was hard, over cooked, dried out. It wasn't edible. Shrimp and grits - No seasoning on shrimp. No sauce. No sausage. Lumpy, clumpy grits. Overall, they don't have a clue about flavor or putting together a decent meal. They are all about volume. If you have any type of pallet, move on. In fact try Tommy Bahamas restaurant in Market Commons, it is completely the opposite at the same price level.

  • Mr. Foste R.

    Went for the Happy Hour and after looking at the menu decided to try that instead. You can still get happy hour drink prices though which is a bonus. I had the Jambalaya and it was amazing. Plump shrimp, generous chicken and sausage and it was spiced just right. My wife opted for the fish and chips and was happy with how fresh it was. My daughter had the fish and chips off the kids menu and it was also fresh and not processed which was nice to see. The red velvet cake for dessert was also a stand out. My daughter even got to toss a freshly caught fish to the fish counter guy and that was a big deal for her since she is six and everyone clapped for her. Overall a great experience.

    HAPPY HOUR IS AWESOME!!! The happy hour has a little bit for everyone. We personally had the spicy tuna roll, Gulf Oysters, Chicken Tenders, Sweet Potatoes fries,and the mussels (not on HH menu). Nothing on the HH menu was over 10dollars (including drinks). The margaritas were so flavorful and well balanced. You will have a good time for sure!! PS: The before meal smoked Mahi Mahi dip is soooo gooooooooood:) You can buy it to go...YaY

  • Daniel S.

    This was a good spot. Lots of fresh fish options at reasonable prices. I had the Oahu, which was very good, as well as fresh sushi for an appetizer. The sushi was the best part of the whole meal. You can select your fish, and then select sauce, and mode of preparation. The meal was fairly boring, with just one side of string beans, although I was told they were local and fresh. The beer was a great deal. 2$ for Papst and 3$ for most others, in 20oz. pints!! There was a wide selection of mixed drinks, and the service was very good. You can also buy raw local fish here, which is very cool. And it is located right next door to the House of Blues, and near the Barefoot Golf Resort.

    Great atmosphere for family dining. I was told to stick to the appetizers and didn't listen like always. My daughter ordered the clam chowder as her main dish and only ate about 1/4 of it. Son ordered the New York strip which they where out of so he went for the rib eye and only ate about 1/2 of it. The waiter suggested the crab cake for the wife and she could only stomach about 1/4 of it. I went with the mussels and buffalo shrimp appetizers that everyone at the tabled enjoyed. Beer was cold and the appetizers where excellent, that is about all we can say. It won't be a place we revisit.

    We went here last night to try out a new place. Based on other Yelpers, it looked like a good option. It's a nice place, with a nod to Seattle's Pike Place Market. The seafood is fresh and on display as you walk to your table. They bring you smoked Wahoo dip and crackers to start. Very tasty & nice to see something besides hushpuppies or bread. We started with hushpuppies (we have a 6 y/o who never tires of them!) and buffalo shrimp. Thinking that they were the typical 6 medium sized shrimp in buffalo sauce w/blue cheese dressing. What a pleasant surprise to get a bowl full of small shrimp, lightly fried, tossed in buffalo sauce and sprinkled with crumbles of blue cheese and diced celery. Very tasty. Mr ordered steamed oysters, which he enjoyed and noted their saltiness. I ordered the Barefoot Sushi roll. It was good but not outstanding. For the main we ordered grouper. Mine grilled and his Cajun. They looked identical when they were served and the flavor was lacking. The fish, however was very good and w/o any powerful seasoning/preparation, the freshness was allowed to shine. The service was great-attentive, prompt and friendly. We'll definitely go back again-many things on the menu looked great and they had a nice selection of fresh seafood.

  • Tom G.

    Nice location. Mahi mahi obscenely salty for 3 of us. I sent mine back. Manager great. Took forever for new plate though. Better but still salty as hell. Manager said they may have overdone the seasoning a little. I love salt but this was beyond anything I've ever had. Great crab cakes, large portion. Rice and green bean sides overcooked and gross. There are so many seafood places in MB that it would be a shame to waste your few vacation dinners on this place. I give 2 stars only since fish is their thing and ours were terrible. Addendum I appreciate their professional reply. Clearly with so many positive reviews, I must have hit them on a bad day.

    My girlfriends and I came to this restaurant based upon a recommendation from someone who had been here before. We were a party of 6. We arrived at 8:50pm on a Saturday night. We were sat upstairs by the hostess and we were ready to enjoy some drinks and good food. It became apparent very soon that we were being rushed and that our questions and taking our time to order was not appreciated by our waitress. We realized half way through our stay that the restaurant closed at 9pm. We did not know this and were sat so this should not have been an issue. We completed our orders and our food came within a short period of time. I got the shrimp and grits and my food was delicous. I can not say the same for my friends. Their food was cold, their mashed potatos were clumpy and obviously the bottom of the barrel of this side. When my one friend complained about her corn on the cob being frozen the waitress was not apologetic and frankly did not seem surprised. We finished our food while she waited for a new order of corn. The manager did come and apologize for the corn and took what a side of corn would be off the bill. Not too long after that the house lights came up and we were sitting there with full overhead lighting. It was an obvious sign that we were not to linger. My one friend went downstairs to the restroom and stopped to tell the manager that the raised lights were rude. He denied that it was done and argued with her about it. We checked out at 9:50 we were there an hour. Not a long time for a party of 6 we were not loud or lingering there was not reason for the waitress to be so rude and then for the manager to argue with us. It was obvious that we were not welcome, We were treated like just one more tourist table of women that will not be back. Shame on them. My friends frequent MB and have friends and family who own property there so they made a huge mistake. They and we will not return to this restaurant.

    The place is nice and the food was good, in my opinion nothing really stands out, everything was good but no wows. We had the spicy tuna wrap, aka sushi, I couldn't find it tasty, but my other family members thought it was ok. I had the crab cakes and there were more filling in them than crab, I've had better, they tasted fine but I would've appreciated more spices, nothing hot but flavor. The best dishes on our table was first the grilled salmon with creamy sauce and second the seared grouper with Cajun and creamy sauce. My son ordered crab legs and they ere pretty good, the red potatoes served with it were tasteless though, he ordered smashed potatoes instead of the sausages and it came with smoked Gouda cheese, it was delicious. Overall, 5 stars for location, and facility and character, 4 stars for server and guest greeting, and 3 stars for the food deliciousness. I would definitely come back here to try some of their other menu items.

    This is the epitome of a solid, family resort kind of restaurant. If you want a really unique dining experience, keep moving along. I simply cannot wrap my head around the fact that this restaurant is ranked as highly as it is, unless this is the new Urbanspoon spin-off site, 'Suburbanspoon'. However, all things are relative. For an area as over-developed, touristy and lacking of any true 'flavor' as Myrtle Beach is, I should not be too surprised. This is the perfect place for vacationing families. It is somewhat boisterous (primarily by kids), has a seafood-y theme and is fairly inexpensive. This is NOT the place to have an experience based on creatively-created dishes by talented chefs, nor the place to have a decent glass of wine in a great atmosphere. Please note: nothing was bad, per se. It was just so painfully mediocre and chain restaurant-y. I felt like I was eating in a place that's attached to a shopping mall.

    Had an awesome experience here! Looked like there was a wait when we arrived so we sat at the bar. Started out with a few beers- apricot ale was delicous! Had buffalo shrimp and fried pickles for appetizers and both were amazing! Ordered the crab cakes entree which came with rice and veggies. This was also delicious! Prices were reasonable. Atmosphere was kinda loud but fun! I thoroughly enjoyed myself and the food here and would recommend it to anyone!!

    Without sounding too snobby, my wife and I have more "upscale" tastes and there doesn't seem to be a lot in that category here in Myrtle Beach. After seeing a weak showing from Yelpers here, we thought we'd contribute a review that would benefit people with more upscale tastes. To put it in perspective, we're the kind of couple that gets good sushi at least once a week. We don't like dumpy places (i.e. tourist traps). We don't wear tank tops to dinner and we drive European cars. That being said, we're really happy we found Flying Fish Market. The restaurant's theme is essentially a fish market / brewery. Upon walking in, you'll see the bar to your left and a refrigerated cooler to your right with fresh fish. We went around 9 PM on a Wednesday evening and walked right in. We ordered: * Tuna sashimi appetizer * Dozen gulf flats oysters ($7.95!) * 2 orders spicy tuna rolls ($6.95 each?) * Bluefin tuna "Flying Fish style" ($19.95!) The tuna filet (done rare and in their signature preparation) was out of this world. I can say for a fact that you can't find a generous portion of Bluefin tuna in Chicago for $20. The spicy tuna rolls were incredibly fresh and surprisingly had a little (if even that) amount of spicy mayo - but it packed a kick - surely it had some cayenne pepper or something in it. The tuna sashimi appetizer was a nice portion and could complement someone's meal quite well. The service was very good (think 4 / 5) and the food speed was fast. Most of the servers seemed like college kids on Summer break but they were skilled enough to play the part well. The ambiance is that of an upscale brewery. Casual enough that you could dress comfortably but you don't feel like a number like you might feel at the restaurants on Restaurant Row. The restaurant is located in Barefoot Landing and you may want to arrive early to actually try and find the actual restaurant which is near T-Bonez and Maggie Moo's. For a discriminating couple who was left "scared" by limited Yelp reviews, we found a winner at Flying Fish Market.

    There are very few places in myrtle beach with great food and this is one of them. There was a 45 min wait, but we sat at the counter facing the kitchen/market without any wait (first come first served in that area). Sushi and a fish sandwich, all excellent, fresh, and came within 15 min. I have been here 3 times over the last 4 years and would recommend it every time.

    Group of four locals visited for weekend lunch today and were not disappointed.. What a pleasant surprise.. Ahi and Mahi Mahi were cooked perfectly and were definitely fresh. Soft shell crab sandwich was awesome and a table favorite.. They offer a Mahi dip and crackers when you arrive and if she brought it out in a gallon tub of this stuff, we would have eaten it. An added plus? The Bloody Mary's are awesome.. Service was on point and they know the menu well. Will revisit for dinner soon. Also, looks like if you make reservations, theres a ton of flexibility with dual levels on the Waterway and large tables for 8+. Nice surprise!

    Great Experience. Had the baked oysters and oysters on the half shell, both were fantastic. Dinner took longer than normal but we were approached by the manager who apologized and made sure everything was great. He checked back multiple times. To me this shows the level of caring and service of this restaurant. We did not have to say anything and they were extremely proactive about solving a problem. Kudos to them for the outstanding hospitality. This type of service is not the norm when it comes tourist spots. The seafood boil was awesome and the wolffish was good as well. I cannot wait for our next trip to Myrtle Beach so we can eat here again.

    Place was a little noisy and crowded. Had a 30 minute wait, but did not take that long. During our wait we had a beer at the bar. We had a corner table with a nice view of the intercoastal and it did not seem noisy at the table. Had to have the sweet potato app again, that comes with blue cheese topping, it did not disappoint, Oh So Sweet, Oh So Good. You get a large plate/bowl so it can be shared. Way to much for one. Also, ordered the Buffalo Shrimp app. It is large for an app, could be a meal. It was very good. Nice Buffalo sauce and the shrimp was overcooked perfectly. Tasty! The Crab Cake BLT was also very good! Someone at our table ordered sushi and was very happy. Waitress was very good, very cheerful and all around great. Reported back that one of the sushi's ordered was not available but the supplier was on the way and would let us know if come in and took another sushi order and took the change order. Before we were finished our waitress reported back that the sushi was in because the supplier had just arrived and wanted to know if we were interested in ordering it.

    We read about a restaurant where they throw fish around like they do in Seattle's Pike Place Market so we wanted to see what flying Fish was all about. It is located in North Myrtle Beach in Barefoot Landing area with shops and restaurants When we arrived in the parking lot, we weren't sure where Flying Fish was exactly, so I got out and asked at the information booth. The gentlemen was helpful and told us we had to drive all the way around the backside because there was a body of water separating us and you can't drive over the pedestrian bridges. He also gave me a coupon for $5 off. Already full from eating at Bimini's, we decided to sit in the bar area so we could watch TV and grab a small bite and a beer. Our server was nice enough to ask the bartender to change the channel so we could watch the NHL playoffs. We ordered steamed clams and some sushi along with some craft beers. Then, we asked our server if there was a particular time the guys at the fish market throw fish. She said she would ask them. As we were leaving, two guys picked up a big fish and started to throw it back and forth. They asked my boyfriend if he wanted a try. He said "No". All of a sudden I saw something hurled at my boyfriend who picked it up and put it on his shoulders before throwing it back to the fish monger. They laughed. Later my boyfriend told me it wasn't a fish, but a toy alligator they threw at him. LOL. I thought the name of the restaurant was Flying Fish, not Flying Alligator.

    We have been coming to the Flying Fish happy hour for a long time. Always the best. Good drinks, great happy hour menu and great bartenders. Melissa, one of the bartenders this year was super nice, made great drinks and made our experience even better. This continues to be our favorite happy hour destination.

    My party had the sushi, ribs, cheeseburger and the low country. The ribs were awesome I highly recommend them, the sushi and cheeseburger were good, they taste just like anywhere else you get them, and the low country was ok, it needed more flavor and it came out a little on the cold side. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was fun. We highly recommend this place, we will go back.

    At this point it's more like 1 1/2, but they don't permit halves. First, this place is not a cheap meal. It is a solid mid-level in terms of price. We came here 2 years ago. It was pretty good. But it seems as though the Flying Fish has already started to decline. We got there at 8:15 PM. Instead of bread they delivered Captain crackers and fish spread; no hush puppies, no bread, just crackers. My wife ordered their signature cocktail, the Flying Fish Mojito. They were out. I asked what kind of Burbon they had; the server had no clue what they had. We ordered appetizers. Then we ordered entrees and they had a singular option for side vegetable, luke warm green beans. The apps, which the server initially forgot to put in (we later asked him about it and he then put them in), fried pickles and hush puppies, were good. The entrees weren't bad; it just wasn't anything to write home about. And again, this place isn't what I would call cheap. All in all, it seems that the Flying Fish may have stopped trying. As a result, we intend to stop coming.

    This place had amazing reviews online. I'll give it that the food was amazing. The server was very personable and funny, but he only came to the table 3 times. The used dishes built up enough that we had to put them on the floor. Things come up so I'm assuming he had other obligations. Can't be faulted for that. Our soup order was forgot about and when asked nicely if we could have it, the food girl runner or helper just tossed it on our table. That was a bit over the top and unnecessary. The manager, I'm assuming, dropped out food off and was very nice. The kitchen manager who had my 3 nephews through fish, wish they loved, came around and asked about the food to make sure we were happy. All in all it was a busy night. Mostly good and a little rough. We got a "seat yourself" table so we didn't have to wait too long. Keep your eye out. Thanks Maurice!

    While we weren't exactly blown away by Flying Fish, we did have a decent dining experience there during our recent Myrtle Beach trip. The wait was about a half hour or so when we arrived on a weeknight, so we proceeded to the bar area for drinks. The Flying Fish branded beer was unfortunately not even close to being as good as the offerings from NJ's Flying Fish Brewing Company (is there some sort of copyright issue in all this, btw?), but it was still a step above the light beer choices we came across almost everywhere else. We were seated on the lower level near the outside patio, with a nice view of the water. A seafood spread and crackers lacked flavor, but it was a nice alternative to bread nonetheless. We started with buffalo shrimp, served with blue cheese crumbles and celery pieces and fried pickles served with ranch. Both were way too salty but still addictive in their own right. For dinner, I had the snow feast, which came with snow crab legs, sausage, corn on the cob and red potatoes. The corn was pretty lame, but I'm used to sweet white Jersey corn. The crab legs were meaty and the sausage was great. My boyfriend seemed satisfied with his fish entree although I didn't hear raves, either. I'd consider giving this place another shot on a future visit, at the very least for a snack and beer at the bar.

    An outstanding dining experience. Five people in our party, and the consensus was 5 star food and service. We will be back.

    Soft shelled crab blt was awesome as were the side dishes. The server, Maurice, was crazy fast and ultra friendly. All in all, great restaurant, great food, great service.

    Scallops were way overcooked. Fried oysters and shrimp were bland as bland can be. Wife's fish was good, but again, their sauce was bland. Service was great. Seated right away.

    Just amazing. Service was awesome, aesthetics of the market, bar, and dining area were all very energetic and positive, crafts beers were delicious, the sushi was solid, and the crab legs were the best I've ever had. I had such a wonderful time and I will be returning the next time I am in the area.

    Crab cakes were a bit on the peppered side. Cole slaw was the best I've ever had in my life! Clam strips were very good, fish and chips were very good, hush puppies were beyond delicious! We ordered take out... told 15 min but was ready in 10. A little on the pricey side. But we drove back into our hotel on ocean Boulevard and the food was still nice and warm! Overall, worth the try....

    Flying Fish has an amazing happy hour with food and drink specials, but this time, I was here for lunch. I had a dozen oysters for, I believe about $12. Even if it's not happy hour, a dozen oysters for $12 is a great deal. They were a bit small, but I find that pretty standard around MB. When I did have happy hour, I really loved the sushi and sweet potato fries, but I didn't see the sweet potato fries on the current happy hour menu. Perhaps its a seasonal thing.

    This place is good. I had Cajun Swordfish and my wife had the fish sandwich for lunch. Great service! We both said we would go back.

    Came here as a tourist and expected a wait. We had a group of 5 adults and 2 kids and the wait was going to be over an hour. So I put in our name and they said we could walk around the shops and return in 45 minutes. That worked well to keep us all occupied, especially the kids. When we returned it was only about 15 minutes and our table was ready. We were seated and there was a nice cracker and fish dip waiting for us at the table. Kind of the fish market equivalent to chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant I guess. We all enjoyed it! The waitress had great recommendations for the fish of the day, which the hubs ordered and LOVED. Have you had Tilefish before? Have it. So good! I had sushi rolls and a salad. The rest of the group really enjoyed their meals. Perfect options for all ages. We rounded it off with dessert (red velvet!) and were sufficiently stuffed. The price was what you'd expect for the area and the quality/freshness of the food. Give it a shot and just be prepared for a wait. There's plenty to do in the area.

    My rating is a bit misleading. I'm not a fan of seafood, but everybody I was with was. So I'm not exactly a fan, but if I have to eat at a seafood restaurant, this was an excellent choice. All the seafood fans in our party loved their entrees and the two land-lubbers in the group were able to find very good entrees that did not taste fishy at all. The service was great and the atmosphere was fun and just a bit loud. The only concern we had was that our table was right next to the door to outdoor seating, so it occasionally got warm and humid as people came in and went out.

    Found the Friday afternoon happy hour service & food (appetizers and meal) to be both attentive, of quality and overall enjoyable. Good value for the money. I'll return on my next pass through the area.

    Stopped here on way into town on vacation. Softshell Crab BLT was pretty good. Wife had shrimp & grits which were also pretty good. Shrimp ceasar salad was also good. As another reviewer said this place is a solid restaurant with good, quality food. Nice views. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again, just because I'd want to try somewhere new.

    Food, ambience, wine were all good. They have an inexpensive kids menu (thank goodness - Nothing worse than having to pay $19 for your 5 year old's meal) and a quality menu all around- grilled, fried, boiled, blackened, panko-crusted, seared, raw - it's all there! Our waiter was a bit anxious and flustered from the first minute we sat down but nothing that affected our evening..... And the fish market guy was awesome as we were leaving because he let my boys hold the fish for a pic (I wish I could remember his name - he was great and made it memorable for my kids) Would definitely return!

    The food was great. I had the tile fish and it was fresh and delicious. The complimentary appetizer mahi mahi dip was very different and delicious. The service was outstanding as well. Definitely recommend this place and I know I will return on my next visit to myrtle beach.

    We have come here for at least 6 years the last two it has really gone down hill. Still pull a big crowd but I think it has gone to their head. Food is not as good as it used to be. Lower quality and salty. Price is almost double what it was 4 years ago. They used to have a boil that was awesome with all kinds of shell fish, including crab legs, all for under $30. Now it is subpar and you can't get the most basic boil, no crab, for under $30.

    This is a late review. We went to Myrtle Beach for a family vacation in August. We were looking for a good seafood restaurant before we went back home. This place was worth the search! Atmosphere was great service as well. We started with the tuna tartare and it was fresh and delicious. I got a signature fish cook dinner which also was cooked perfect. Next time we are in Myrtle Beach this will definitely be a place we stop at.

    Nice place. Friendly staff. Really good food. Get on the waiting list and head for the bar area. Tables in the bar area first come first serve. We were able to seat ourselves there within 10 minutes of getting there. Just tell the hostess up front you found a seat in the bar area.

    Great seafood is offered here but it comes at a moderate price- generally market price fish is $16-24. Wait time can be longer depending on the time of day. The service was prompt but the bathrooms were in need of attention. The market fish tasted awesome. The rice was average but overall the seafood made it worthwhile.

    Our family comes here all the time. We love getting fresh crab legs or nice big oysters. The salmon is really good but u usually have to wait a little while for food and if u don't have a reservation u won't usually make it in until late.

    Good overall place. Good service and good food. We went for lunch and for oyster shooter. No one else has oyster shooter around this area. It was good and only $3.95. We will be back for that. My lunch was seafood platter and my boyfriend had mahi mahi taco. Nicely done but not wow.

    Love the seafood nachos,sounds odd but could not stop eating them. Seared shrimp,seared fish with this amazing cheese sauce and crunchy chips. The salmon wrap had a peanut glaze that didn't appeal to me personally. The tuna tacos were a little bland. But the service was great, the view over intercostal waterway was beautiful and those nachos...just get the nachos!!

    We were craving seafood and this place delivered! We went early and were seated right away at a table overlooking the ICW. Big place with a cool upscale industrial vibe. Service was very good - waitress was cordial and efficient and accommodating to changes we asked for. We started with hush puppies and calamari, both solid. The smoked trout dip that each table gets is awesome, btw. For entrees we had a couple of the fish of the day options, with toppings such as mango salsa. Great flavor, well prepared. We also tried the clam chowder, which was rich with clams and bacon (score!) The kids meals are very generous, and essentially adult size. Don't miss out on throwing a fish, great fun and good photo-op! Overall this is a great option in the NMB area!
