I found The Old Salty Dog Restaurant to be a good place to eat in Siesta Key. We stopped by the Old Salty Dog our first week at Siesta Key for an early dinner.

I had the traditional English fish and chips which were great.

My wife had the Captain’s Plate, which is a filet of Mahi with shrimp and two sides.

We enjoyed sitting at the Old Salty Dog, eating our food and enjoying the view around us. The restaurant has open air seating beside the sidewalk allowing you to enjoy the warm breezes and a view of the area. With the word Dog in its name, you know that they would have hot dogs on the menu.  The Salty Dog has two hot dogs on the menu one is a regular hot dog, but the other is a beast. I think the people from Hillbilly Hot Dogs may have consulted with them. It’s called “Our Famous Salty Dog”. I read about it and wanted to try it but in the end common sense won and I passed on it.

The next week my brother and sister-in -law came down to stay a few days with us. We told them about the Old Salty Dog and we decided to go there for dinner.

My Brother-in-law and I decided to tackle The Old Salty Dog.

I have to warn you this is not just a big hot dog. The wiener is dipped in batter and is then deep fried.  We decided to go a step further. We order the Loaded Salty Dog, which comes with Sauerkraut, Bacon, Grilled Onions and Mushrooms and three cheeses. After going through the items on this giant hot dog, I have to include the picture one more time.

Yes this is a Hot Dog

How did we do? Well, we clean our plates and we were glad to know we had stomach pills back at the Air BnB house if needed.

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.

Steak and fries

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.
