Best WLM Reviews

We were there on St Patty’s day and had a blast. Great music. One band left and another followed right behind. The service was awesome. I was surprised because it was packed. Our waitress did a great job tending to us. I wish we didn’t eat beforehand because we only had a quesadilla which was delicious. But there were a lot of good looking dishes passing by.
Fun, casual spot, right on the waterfront in Murrells Inlet with a good-sized outdoor patio. The decor is bright and fun, retro, and very "beach". Dog friendly, too!
The food was delicious, and the service was quick and waitstaff friendly.
I got the Black and Blue salad with blackened tuna. The tuna was perfectly done, served seared and medium rare. It was served on Romain lettuce (I would have preferred mixed greens), with tomatoes and yummy crispy onion straws. It also came with blue cheese crumbles, but I skipped those. The onion straws were a little greasy but delicious, just the same (just less healthy!). The balsamic vinegrette was quite good.
My husband had the fried flounder sandwhich with fries, which he said was delicious. The fish was very fresh, fried just right (not greasy) with a light breading. The fries could have been crisper (a bit limp) but still tasted good. The bread was like a po'boy roll.
The view of the waterfront from the patio is lovely, and it was fun to people watch on the boardwalk.
The price was a little high for lunch, but the quality of the food was excellent, which made it a good value.
I highly recommend this fun spot for casual drinks, lunch, or dinner.
STOP! Read Before Visiting!
This is no longer a separate restaurant -- its the red-headed step-child of JPeters (next door).
We chose this place thinking it was a less pricey option for our family of 6. We were sitting at a nicely painted picnic table ( suitable for the type of dinner we expected) and given a menu for the Steak House next door (J Peters).
I asked the waitress and she said the Love Shack was owned by J Peters. SO, we decided if we were paying Highly-rated-steakhouse Prices, we might as well sit inside the nice steakhouse!
We were pleasantly surprised to find it was "early bird" hours (see photo of menu!).
My Advice: if you're here for dinner, arrive early and Go next door to J Peters for the early bird menu!
Super great food. Ambience is laid back and somewhat Caribbean in feel. Bartender we had was awesome and very sociable. The salad here is king! House dressing cannot be imitated! This place does not disappoint…
Great food and great atmosphere. J Peters Seafood and Bar is where the food comes from. It is right beside Bubba's and has less of a beach boardwalk and more regular restaurant feel. Bubba's has a large outdoor patio and the inside has a bar and seating that stays open when the weather is nice. Only complaint is that they seem not to have enough wait staff but it wasn't that much of a wait and the server was extremely nice and accommodating!
Discovered this gem walking around the strip at Murrells Inlet - cute little spot to eat outside and enjoy some good views. You can sit right on the water! Great selection of drinks and delicious food. I got the shrimp & my husband got a burger. Highly recommend the honey croissants for a sweet treat! Looking forward to coming back this summer!
Sunday lunch got us once again heading to Murrells Inlet and visiting one of the many eateries lining the Marshwalk. Rustic, vibrant fish camp shanty with open beamed ceiling, full service bar, fireplace, live music and an open patio facing the Inlet and Goat Island. It is really an extended porch of J Peters Grill and Bar next door, as menu and food come from there and named after local folk hero Bubba Love. (See the life size statue of him out front.) Selective menu of shareables, soups and salads, sandwiches and seafood, steaks, chicken and ribs. Always a seafood connoisseur when visiting the inlet, I decided on trying out their house burger. A thick, hand made patty with all the fresh toppings of lettuce and tomato, pickles, cheese at an added cost and a good serving of seasoned fries. Burger was juicy, more than I could eat and reasonable priced. Loved the open concept as a steady breeze and overhead fans kept the air moving and the sights and sounds of the inlet and the live goats on the island played out right in front of you. Food was slow in coming, as you not only contend with fellow patrons on the porch but all that sit inside. But service was friendly, the day was beautiful and the food commendable.
We went there to see Johnny White play. He was excellent. The blackened chicken Alfredo was very good too. Molly did an excellent job serving as well.
