One of my favorite restaurants in the Myrtle Beach area is Drunken Jack’s. The restaurant is located at 4031 Highway 17 Murrell’s Inlet. We have been going to Drunken Jack’s for more than twenty years. Over that time I have seen the restaurant grow and change with the times.

I must say that the one thing that has never changed is the great food. The seafood is my main reason for going there. The combo platters are great.

When I have been at the beach for several days, I will change to beef. I love Drunken Jacks prime rib. I did not get a photo of it on this trip but some of the crew did order a couple of steaks.

The meals all come with a salad bar and your choice of baked potato, fries, rice or vegetables.

I ask to be seated by a window if possible because of the nice view of the inlet.

Something that has taken place of the years and I feel will continue to grow is a walkway around the inlet. We enjoyed the walk after our meal.

The walkway connects to other restaurants around the Inlet. We liked the way the restaurants have live music and areas where you can stop and listen to the performers.

I would suggest going early because they are always busy, enjoy your meal then walk around the inlet. We visit several places to listen to the music.

Before leaving New England I decided to take a day trip to Martha’s Vineyard. I drove to 1 Cowdry Road, Woods Hole MA to get to the Steamship Authority. The Steamship Authority runs the ferry service to Martha’s Vineyard. They offer two types of service, one will take you and your car the other is passengers only and is much faster. I chose the high speed ferry which got us there in about a hour.

The ride to Martha’s Vineyard is windy and you can feel the roll of the waves. We enjoyed the ride but if you have problems with motion sickness you may wish to take something.

I arrived at Martha’s Vineyard in about a hour.

The town we arrived at was Vineyard Haven. We enjoyed walking around looking at the different shops.

They have great bus service on the island and for a day trip to Martha’s Vineyard it is all you would need. We took a bus from Vineyard Haven to Edgartown. I enjoyed having someone else driving so that I could enjoy the views.

We loved the shops in Edgartown. They are small and friendly with lots of different items to look at.

I found a great place to eat called the Seafood Shanty.

When I think of a Shanty, this is not what comes to my mind. The restaurant offers dinning inside or out with nice views from the upper deck area. The food was great and the service of wonderful.

I had the fisherman’s platter which you can see in the picture above was heaped high on my plate. My Mother had the Fish and Chips and my wife had the lobster. All three meals were great.

After the meal I was not surprised that we shopped some more.

As the sun began to set we left Martha’s Vineyard on the high speed ferry.
