Drunken Jack's

Drunken Jack’s

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.

Kennebunkport President Bush

One of the many beautiful towns you should visit in Maine is Kennebunkport home of President Bush. Kennebunkport  is an old town and it will remind you of the past. I thought of sailing ships and books that I have read of the Clippers and the seamen on them.

I found the town to be a great place to walk. I enjoyed the different shops and wide selection of food. The town has several nice shops. We liked the Dock Square, Western and Ocean Avenues.

Kennebunkport’s History

I of course had to eat at Mabel’s.

People often tell of running into members of the Bush family at Mabel’s, but did not see anyone the day I went. I did however enjoy a lobster roll that was great.

We drove out to Walker Point to see the Bush home. The best view that I found was at a site where the people had place a plaque to honor the former President.
