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.

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.
