Dead Dog Saloon Murrell’s Inlet

   Dead Dog Saloon at Murrell’s Inlet is a good place to eat.  The restaurant is located on the Marsh Walk and provides good food but the entertainment alone is worth the trip. The staff has always been great every time I visit.

The idea is a bit different but after you think about it for a while it’s a good idea. People can bring pictures of their pet dogs that have passed and post them on the walls.

A very different idea but when all is said a very good one.  When we sat down we were given a basket of hush puppies and some butter. They were great. We really enjoyed them while looking over the menu.

As a starter we selected the Grab Dip.  It came to us hot and steamy with Chips and Garlic Bread. On a cool November night this was a great start to the meal.

For the entrees the Dead Dog Saloon has a wide selection to choose from.  I went for one of my standards, Fish and Chips.  The fish was hot and flakey just as I like it. Encased in a crisp beer batter and accompanied by fries, it made a great meal.

My wife ordered the Steam Pot, which comes with two clusters of Alaskan Snow Crab Legs, seasoned with Maryland crab seasoning.  Along with the crab you get corn on the cob, Kielbasa and finally red potatoes.

After the meal we walked along the marsh walk for a while enjoying the view of the inlet and the different music coming from different restaurants. At last we found ourselves back at the Dead Dog Saloon. In short we found a table on the deck, and sat down to enjoy the rest of our evening at the Dead Dog with their great music.

Wahoo’s and Creek Ratz at Murrell’s Inlet

Wahoo’s and Creek Ratz at Murrell’s Inlet were our targets after a great meal at Drunken Jack’s. Leaving Drunken Jack’s, we decided to walk around the Inlet to see if we could find some music to listen to.  We came to a restaurant called Creek Ratz.  They had some nice music playing and there were lots of empty seats around the stage a dance floor.  I ask a waiter about get a seat.  He told us that we needed to go to the front for seating.  We walked to the front and asked about seating. The young lady asked if we needed a dinner menu, and we said no we had eaten but would like an appetizers  and drink menu.  She told us that she could not seat us near the music unless we had a meal. We thanked her a left.

Walking through the near empty restaurant back to the Marsh Walk , we traveled a short distance to arrive at Wahoo’s Fish House. The music was great and we worried that we would not find a seat.  When we entered we found that their crowd was about equal to the Creek Ratz. So crowds at Wahoo’s and Creek Ratz at Murrell’s Inlet are about the same.  The difference is the way they treat people.  I again asked about seating and an appetizer menu.  A lady greeted us and told us to sit where ever we wanted and that they would be over to take our orders.

The food at Wahoo’s is really good and the people treat you great. The music is also very good.
