Boundary House Restaurant at Calabash

The Boundary House Restaurant at Calabash, North Carolina is a good place to eat.

Boundary House Restaurant at Calabash

I think a lot of people who go to Myrtle Beach, but they don’t know about the great seafood at Calabash.  Where as they go to Murrell’s Inlet, Just a short drive north and across the state line is Calabash, North Carolina and it is the home of great seafood.  The seafood at Calabash is different from what you would find at Murrell’s Inlet (Drunken Jacks) or in Florida (Salty Dog) or New England (Union Oyster House). The people at Calabash started selling their style of food in the 1940’s and it has never stopped. Calabash is the “Seafood Capital of the World”.

As the Capital, Calabash has more than it’s share of great restaurants.  We decide to try the Boundary House Restaurant at Calabash.  The Boundary House is a large restaurant with plenty of seating.

The style of cooking and the flavors are different at Calabash but on a cold day nothing is better than chowder.

After the chowder which was great, we got our salads.

The photo I took does not do the salad justice, but the croissant was as good as it looks. Getting back to the meal. I decided to have the Crab Cake Sandwich. 

The Boundary House Restaurant at Calabash seasons the crab with the traditional Calabash style.  I love crab cakes, but had never had one as a sandwich, but now I know what I was missing out on. My wife ordered the Large Shrimp. It came with Salad and a side.

The food at Boundary House Restaurant at Calabash was really good. It was worth the drive to get this meal. Finally next time you are in the area look up  Boundary House Restaurant.

The food is good however the views around Calabash are worth seeing also. Come early or stay late but give yourself time to look around the town and harbor.

Drunken Jack’s in 2020

We went back to Drunken Jack’s in 2020.  Drunken Jack’s has been a place we have enjoyed for about 40 years.  It is located at Murrell’s Inlet south of Myrtle’s Beach.

Drunken Jack’s was very Covid aware.  They spaced people apart and all employees seemed to have mask.  We requested and got a window seat.  At our seat we were able to see the boats at the dock, and Goat Island.

Goat Island

For past twenty some years goat have been place on the island during the summer to keep the brush down. They are fun to see will to the enjoyment of Drunken Jack’s.  Now to the real reason to go to Drunken Jack’s, the food. For forty years Jack’s has been serving great meals. Their menu offers a wide selection of good food. Drunken Jack’s in 2020 is as good as ever.

 

  I love their sea food but this is a place where you can get a great prime rib.  We started our meal with calamari.

I know if you look at the picture you can see that I got one and dipped it in the sauce as soon as it was delivered.  The prime rib come with a nice house salad.

In my opinion the star of the menu is the prime rib.

Prime rib and baked potato

I love Jack’s prime rib cooked just right with baked potato and creamy horseradish.  Drunken Jack’s in 2020 is a must stop.
