Hook & Barrel

12.4.25 This was our first time at Hook & Barrel and believe me when I say it lives up to all the good reviews. Right away we were greeted with kindness and smiles when they opened the door for us. We didn't have reservations so we were hoping for the best and received it! We got tucked away at a hightop near the bar and were greeted by our waiter, Michael. The food was delicious but having Michael as our waiter really took our dining experience to the next level. Thank you and your staff so much for such a great night. We will definitely be back when we find ourselves in the neighborhood again! (Michael is invited to the wedding!) Our choices: Fish Bites - yum! Pimento & Cheese app - yum! Braised Beef Short ribs & Black Garlic Wasabi Aioli Tuna- WOW! Pineapple Bread Pudding - amazing! Win

GREAT DINING IN MYRTLE BEACH! This is truly a special place in Myrtle Beach for dinner. Service was top notch, food was wonderful and when we're back in the area this will be our first night out and last night out go to place for dinner, it's that good. My husband loved the She Crab soup and said the crab cakes were probably the best he's ever had. Trust me when I say thats a huge statement from him as he's had them in pretty much every state on the East coast, Vegas and Washington. He loved the pimento cheese spread that accompanied their pita strips. On a recommendation, I tried the fish bites and they certainly didn't disappoint. A lovely gesture was the birthday cake presented to my husband, which was not only quite tasty but hit the spot, great way to end the night. Thank you Hook and

Upon arrival, we were welcomed at the door with both genuine warmth and professionalism. They found our reservations quickly and seated us in a great location according to our wishes. The restaurant has a large, well-trained, attentive staff that positively reflects on management's commitment to quality and customer service. The food was flavorful, perfectly cooked, appropriately seasoned, and properly portioned. Hook and Barrel includes a full bar stocked with an array of selections, and the top shelf spirits are reasonably priced for the area. The bartenders and waitstaff are engaging and sincere, and the ambience is an appealing seaside chic. We enjoyed our experience at Hook and Barrel and will happily return.

We were in town for the weekend and a quick Google search of where do the locals eat seafood brought up Hook and Barrel. It did not disappoint. I had one of the daily specials fish, creamed potatoes with peas and the hubby had steak and shrimp. We each had a salad Cesar and a wedge. They brought out homemade pimento cheese and some type of a fried bread/crackers and we gobbles it down as well. Great service and atmosphere!

I was in town for work and had the chance to eat at Hook & Barrel, and I’m really glad I did. The service was excellent, the beer selection was great, and the food was outstanding. The fish was cooked perfectly and the she-crab soup alone was worth the trip. The highlight of the meal, though, was the pimiento cheese served with bread and crackers — absolutely fantastic. Everything about the experience was top-notch. If I’m back in the area again, I’ll definitely be stopping in for another great meal. Highly recommend.
