  Had the grilled chicken sandwich, is was....ok. Not plump n juicy. The steamed shrimp was good but shrimp could've been a lil bigger IMHO. Waiter didn't introduce himself but was good either way. Nice sitting in patio on intercostal waterway.

  Stopped at the Boathouse last night while golfing in Myrtle Beach.  It is a large place with indoor, porch and lawn seating along the intracoastal waterway.
  
  It was pretty quiet at 6:30 on a Thursday evening.  
  
  The draft beer selection was very weak.  Four taps from national breweries.  This is unacceptable given the craft brew scene in North and South Carolina.  
  
  No one appeared to be eating so, I was a bit concerned but took a chance.  I'm happy I did.  The food was excellent.
  
  I tried the Honey Habenero wings.  They were great.  The honey did a nice job off setting the spice of the habenero.  They weren't mouth burning hot but kind of lingered.  The wings were nice sized and grilled crispy.  They are some of the best I've had in a while.
  
  I also had the avocado and chicken egg rolls with Thai dipping sauce.  Deli sliced chicken and avocados in egg roll wrappers.  Very nice.
  
  Apps were half price during happy hour.  Wings, egg rolls and three Fat Tires set me back $17.  That's pretty hard to beat for way more food than I could eat.
  
  I'm really bouncing back and forth between 3 and 4 stars.  I guess I'll stick with three.  In spite of great wings, the beer selection really drags it down.

  We went to The Boathouse last night to see Coolio and was very disappointed in the way they changed their set  up outside. The stage is now right on the water which sounds like a nice concept, except because of the steep incline of the hill leading to the stage. Not only was it very uncomfortable to stand on a steep incline to watch the show but when you factor in people dancing and drinking it was also an accident waiting to happen. Saw a few people tumble, was really expecting the domino effect...and combined with the fact that lots of beer bottles were on the ground it could have really gotten ugly. It was much, much better when they had their stage off to the side and everyone was on level ground, then you were able to enjoy the show without trying to balance yourself or worry about others crashing down on you.

  Great local and live music scene, come by boat or car. The bar outside is where it's at, a beautiful view and a sand volleyball court.

  Very good food and drinks. The bad thing is the smoke smell. Friendly staff. Bay one get one free on sandwiches and entrees
  
  Live bands on some nights of the week

  Great bar, Great Location, Great Atmosphere....just TERRIBLE FOOD!
  
  So we stumpled on this place memorial day weekend.  I had the fried seafood platter (shrimp, oysters and grouper?) and my girlfriend had shrimp and grits.  The fried seafood was surprisingly good, so we decided to head back last week, this time with more friends in tow.
  
  Well, the place was nearly empty for lunch on a Sunday and they were out of grits.  Not sure how that happens.
  
  Next, I ordered the fried seafood platter that I had been raving about for weeks to my friends.  I was surprised that I got the garbage that I did.
  
  There was a tiny piece of fish and the oysters were fried in this horrendous thick nasty batter.  They came out brown and super breaded.  It was pretty strange.
  
  One person who was with us ordered an oyster basket.  They were equally alarmed and displeased.  I felt sorry for them, so I gave them my potato salad, since they obviosly couldn't eat what they were served.
  
  We didn't even bother to send anything back either, rather just wanted to get it over with as soon as possible.  
  
  Thank you random beligerent Newport chain-smoking cool guy for sitting right behind us while 20 other tables were open outside.  
  
  Your wild exploits from the night before, along with your f-bomb then puff, f-bomb then puff while SCREAMING on your cell phone really helped top off our experience at this establishment.
  
  You're such a "Shot Calla" and are a force to be reckoned with.

  I finally gave in and tried a new bar.  Great Place!  So relaxing.  Not fancy so you can just chill there without getting all cute.  Large, open bar with table tennis, pool tables and good food.  Large menu too.  The best part about this place is the outside.  It's on the Intracoastal Waterway so not only does it have a beautiful view but if you don't have a boat you can rent jet skis.  There's hammocks outside and a tiki bar as well.   On Sunday's during the summer there are concerts.  There are also dinner and movie nights.  It's just a relaxing and fun atmosphere.  Definitely a must see.
