Flounders Fish House

HORRIBLE. Tourists stay away, they are a one trick pony. They don’t care if you don’t come back. Without a doubt one of the worst meals in modern cooking history. The meals were mixed up, cold, and the waitresses overwhelmed. It took us over an hour to get our bills sorted out.

Cool little place, good menu choices, and tasty food. Prices are a little high for what you get, but that’s to be expected for a vacation spot. The service was very friendly.

I was very disappointed in Flounders. We got there fairly early to beat the dinner crowd and sat on the patio outside. Our waitress stopped by right away but then disappeared for quite some time and we had only ordered waters while we read over the menu. When we decided we were ready to order she was no where to be found. I imagine she had inside tables as well so she was having a difficult time keeping up. Although not a very large place.
Once I finally ordered I decided on the fish tacos. They were more like fish quesadillas. Melted cheese and chopped red peppers were all I could taste. I was not impressed at all by service or food. It’s not likely I’ll be back.

Do not go here. The food was horrible and so was the service. Neither my wife or I could not eat our meals they were so bad. Then when we told our server she said sorry as she handed us our check. I got blackened fish with grits and she got chicken fingers and fries. How do you screw up chicken fingers? I wouldn’t eat there again if it was free.

Another great meal at this quaint fish «shack». Shrimp chef salad is chock full of great bites and comes with a side of addictive cornbread. My daughter had the crab quesadilla, which was so big it will also be lunch tomorrow. Big Mike was an attentive and fun server. Can’t wait to go back.

World famous my a**. They gave my grandma a rotten fish on her flounder salad. We told the waitress who was very nice, but the manager only took off 25% when he should’ve comped the entire thing and brought out a fresh plate. Poor granny needed her protein and strength for the day. Next time we’ll go the extra mile and eat at Crab Catchers or Sea Captains. Hell, even Duffy’s is better than this place. Beware! My world famous flounder sandwich had the tiniest piece of fish on it so all I tasted was the bread. But hey, the waffle fries and hushpuppies were OK, so I’ll give ‘em a star. Hopefully they’ll read their reviews and improve before they flounder out.

This just WAS NOT the amazing, fresh seafood that you should have in a beach town. I ordered fried pickles (they’re long spears and the batter fell off), I got the mahi mahi medallions over pasta… it was gross… wet noodles with no sauce and dried little fish nuggets without a trace of season. I sent it back and had it removed from the ticket.
The rest of the party said their food was good — seafood burrito, admiral’s platter and blackened flounder. The tastiest part were the hushpuppies that were sweet and had sweet corn inside.
Our waitress lost points really quick after forgetting our drinks, not getting us refills, asking us four times how to split the tickets, ugh. She seemed to be high or incredibly incompetent.
Will not be back — even with my meal taken off and just one other entrée and appetizer, it was $ 50. Ridiculous.

We were staying just down the street and Unilocal gave us the hint to stop in. So glad we did. The food was very good and service was great. The portions were healthy. If you’re looking for some well prepared seafood, I would highly recommend.

First of all, there were so many more workers than there were customers, so many of them were simply standing around doing nothing. Most of the people in our party didn’t mind their food, but it was by no means fantastic and I in fact hated mine. We had to be seated outside and our party of eight was separated into two different tables. One person in our party received her food about 10 minutes after everyone else. Sand blew in our faces and plates the entire time we ate. It was an overall terrible experience and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

The food here was excellent! We came as soon as it opened (11am). We decided to try this restaurant because of the proximity to the Wyndham hotels. The Crab Dip was filled with crab and was one of the most delectable things we had. My father had the blackened flounder on sliders and I had the Crab cake on the brioche. Both were brought out exceptionally quick and the food was very fresh. The sweet potato fries and the old bay waffle fries were also a great part of our sandwiches. Our server was very fast and attentive to our needs. The type of music was sort of off putting, but the rest of the environment was sound and very relaxing. This is one of the best, if not the best, seafood you will get in Myrtle Beach. The price was fairly cheap for the quality, ranging from around $ 9.00-$ 30.00 with many different menu options.

If 0 stars were an option I would, for the first time ever, given it.
Chose this place based on its proximity to our rental while on vacation.
When we were seated many other patrons were sitting around us complaining about wait time. Then the table behind us left with much of their food still sitting there. We thought they had gone to the bathroom but never returned.
We ordered an app that never came and our waitress said she wasn’t familiar with the menu because she was called in from a sister restaurant down the road.
When the food arrived it was nothing like the menu description and was cold.
I ordered teriyaki fish tacos which were supposed to be dressed with cabbage, pico and queso… which was not existent.
In short, it was a long wait for food that was cold, inedible and overpriced.

The service was good and the good was great ! I had the crab cake sandwich with the old bay waffle fries. Had to go to the bar for drink refills.

I was on vacation with my family last week, and they told me how great it was. Unfortunately, my experience was not anything close to great.
We sat upstairs, and the service was pretty terrible, to put it lightly. I ordered a Pepsi, and my father and brother ordered a couple beers. The beers came, the Pepsi did not. After waiting approximately 10 minutes, I told another waitress we were waiting on a Pepsi, and she brought one after our waitress seemingly disappeared. The Pepsi was really just a full cup of shaved ice with about 4 drops of Pepsi. I was stunned.
Our original waitress suddenly reappeared with our food. The chicken sliders were actual chicken strips on a mini bun– definitely not a «slider.» I also asked during my initial order for a side of BBQ sauce which also never came.
The hush puppies were actually pretty good, and I sampled some of the fried shrimp that my father ordered– this is the only reason I’m giving this place 2 stars.
I recommend sitting downstairs, they seem to actually pay attention to their customers.

Not impressed. I side smells like fish — they need a new exhaust system. Apps were so-​so. We had the fried asparagus and grit cake. Unimpressed.
Ordered flounder sliders w fries. Fries were cold, condiments weren’t ripe. Also had crab cake sliders. They were okay.
Would not recommend. They also charge a hosp CO fee to my bill. What! We were informed it is because we were tourists. Really. Across the street is Basils — go there — it’s worth the wait.

Ordered the crab cake sandwich and it was very tasty. Wasn’t expecting the good taste. Complimented with old bay waffle fries which were also very good. And of course topped it off with a rum fish bowl! Very surprised by the experience. Right off the beach, good experience.

Excellent NY strip, Crab Meat, and shrimp with a garlicky hollandaise sauce drizzled over, also with a side of hushpuppies. The steak has a tangy steak sauce taste that plays well with the garlicky seafood flavor. The hushpuppies were not cooked to long allowing a moist and sweet corn taste in every large munchkin sized ball. The prices are well worth it with large portions, great service, cleanliness, and the greatest quality I have yet to see in the Cherry Grove/​North Myrtle area.

Very great servixe, loved their oysters and platter
:)
A little over priced but nice place right on north Myrtle. Neat rooftop seating area.

We gave this place a try after seeing it being built a few months ago. Really nice staff. The atmosphere on the second floor was very pleasant.
The food was pretty good too. The shrimp and grits were decent. The kids ate all their food. My wife enjoyed her buffalo shrimp tacos.
The price was on par with others, such as Duffys down the road.
I would probably go back. However, there are a lot of restaurants similiar to this place.

We tried Flounders tonight and really enjoyed it. The waiter was very attentive and provided great service. It was his first day on the job and told us up front he may have to ask a few questions and to be a little patient. He was great. We understood that Flounders has only been open two weeks and they are refining their system. Reading the other two reviews, I would say our experience was MUCH better: it appears the team is working well together now.
Flounders has a great, light batter they fry in. We started with fried pickles, just because I love them, and I knew right off that my fried platter was going to be great because the batter on the pickles was fried to a light perfection. My fried oysters and shrimp were as expected, awesome! My wife had fried flounder and loved it. She had a side of sweet potato fries that she loved too. The portion sizes are very generous and the prices in line with most seafood resturants around.
Another happy note: in over 30 years of eating oysters, tonight was the first time I found a pearl. Thank you Flounders.
We will be back. Often.

Had high hopes for this perfectly located dinner spot. Were seated at bar stools overlooking Ocean Drive and the Grand Strand. Hopes were dashed by a kitchen that had no idea what they were doing. Service was fine, food was actually pretty good, but waiting an hour on basic menu items not acceptable. Also not acceptable: having to get up and get silverware from another table. Seriously? Restaurant 101: make sure your table has napkins and something to eat with. Ended up getting dinner to go, and shared our disappointment with the manager, who was eager to give a discount that we appreciated.
Overall, just disappointed in a new restaurant that seemed none too concerned with making a good impression and more concerned about doing the least to get by with the tourist crowd.
Is it too much to ask for a decent local seafood place?
