Description

Specialties

For over 30 years the family has been serving up waterfront feasts. From fresh seafood to juicy steaks, we have something for everyone. You might want to try some of our New Orleans styled specialties. Flo was born and raised in The Big Easy and bayou cooking was in her soul. If the dish didn’t get rave reviews from the family, it never made it into the restaurant. I know your meal will be memorable and that you will join the ranks of many Flos Place regulars who call Flos Place their own special spot at the beach. Flos is a nice place to hang your hat and we hope you decide to hang yours here too.

Food is sub par at best I think all they have for spices in the kitchen is salt, the main garnish is onion strings gator was ok, Wife and I asked for a side salad she gave us a house salad for 3 dollars more each. I forgot why I never went back from the first time 3 years ago. I’m a local and I am very surprised this place has lasted so long in the inlet.

I stopped into Flo’s by myself and sat at the bar. I was really in the mood for a good po’boy and that is exactly what I got. The shrimp were balled up and seasoned and it tasted just like it did when I was a kid. Of course I added some Flo’s sauce to it for a little kick. Right off the bat I had hush puppies brought over to me. I didn’t remember getting them as a kid but they were tasty! Since I was eating alone at 3 pm I had the bartender, owner, and half the staff to talk to. Everyone was lovely! I ended up leaving full, and with a big bottle of green sauce.
The place looks a little different now… more «open». The Fire Marshall had made them take down all the hats that lined the ceiling. It’s just weird to come in and not see all the hats.

I’ve been here several times before and loved it. This time, the food wasn’t quite up to par but the service was excellent. I think they are quite a bit more expensive than in past visits as well. Still, a great place for good food and beautiful scenery.

I want to give them 5 stars so badly. I live close to here, I used to WORK there in highschool, but so much has changed. The food is so good but the management is SO BAD.
I placed a to go order of (1) shrimp po boy sub with fries and (2) a burger with fried green tomatoes.
The fried green tomatoes were replaced with fried pickles. I realized this when I got home and called them. They apologized and asked if I could stop back in for the side of fried tomatoes. OK everyone makes mistakes.
and I only live 0.5 miles away, probably less.
On one positive note, the bartender made me a sinfully delicious mango drink… seriously amazing. On the other hand, I only got a drink because it took them about a half hour to get me ONE SIDE of fried tomatoes that I had ordered about an hour ago at this point.
OH AND as I was walking out the door they stopped me and asked me whether or not I paid! I told them that YES of course I closed my tab at the bar, but I wonder now if they expected me to pay extra for the tomatoes or the pickles?
Their food is so good but I felt like a third class citizen ordering from a dive bar.

Mind you, my visit to Flo’s was early into my vacation. The GM replied to my post, however, I was busy enjoying my vacation and did not reply immediately causing a curt response on Trip Advisor.
If I wasn’t completely turned away from dining at Flo’s before, I am now. I don’t recall our server’s name; however, it started at the door with the young man behind the counter. While the GM might not feel the food was overpriced, I beg to differ. We did not have alcohol beverages which is when I would expect to pay $ 70.00 for two meals! Prosser’s is down the road and the food is good at a lesser cost. The atmosphere and décor at Flo’s is unique, I will give them that, but my dining experience was not over the top.
While an immediate response may have been expected, I apologize to the GM, but I was busy enjoying the week on the beach and dining at other establishments in the area.
Signed,
Now a ‘completely’ dissatisfied customer!

My husband and I decided to try Flo’s since every other restaurant in the area had a long wait. Our food was very bland and non of it tasted very good. We started our meal with the mussels, which were supposed to come with garlic bread. They came out without the bread. When we asked for some, a small plate of bread was brought to us, it had no garlic and had a funny taste to it. My she crab soup, the bread and the white wine from the mussels had the same unpleasant sweet after taste. My husband had the red beans and rice with sausage and was so bland. As we watched other tables eat we saw the same thing, food was missing from their orders as well. The table next to us was brought food they didn’t order but never got the fries they did order that they even reminded the waiter for. They had to ask that it be removed from their bill. Everybody quickly paid their checks, no to-​go boxes asked for and we left as soon as possible. I gave them two stars because the staff was friendly. I may try it again on our next visit and will leave another review if we do.

Flo’s Place used to be a great hole-​in-​the-​wall gem when you visited Myrtle Beach. The Dunkin’ Pot was huge enough for two people and you got a big white bucket for your shells. It was casual, messy and delicious. As it’s gotten more popular the menu expanded, prices when up and quality went down. I miss the Flo’s of the early days.

1st Family vacations in Myrtle Beach. Happened on Flo’s. Will definitely be our go-​to — place when in town from here on out. Grilled Sea Food Platter 2 of us shared. To die for. Manly our server has only been apart of th e ‘Flo’ Family for 4 days, but we were so amazed ! She was extremely knowledge and answered every question with ease ! Made the evening memorable

Little on the pricey side but the food was great and the view equaled.
Alligator bites were small but tasty. Hush puppies were small also.
Had the grilled shrimp/​scallops/​mahi mahi for entrée. Was perfectly cooked and delicious. Would have liked a slightly larger portion of each, but still good.
Will definitely return on our next visit to MB.

Great place. Great atmosphere. Food is amazing and the décor is fun. I had the flounder with fried green tomatoes amd my husband had a shrimp po’boy. We also had crab dip. Our waitress was hysterical. She even came out at one point with a Gumby costume on. We always take a trip to Flo’s when vacationing in the Grand Strand.

DO NOT EAT HERE. There’s a reason why the parking lot is the last on the street to fill up. The bar drinks and hush puppies were good, but everything else was atrocious. Salad came out of a Dole bag no doubt, and everything else was horribly overdone. Shrimp, scallops, and fish as part of my grilled seafood platter were cooked to the consistency of dry rubber. And one of the shrimp on the skewer hadn’t even been properly cleaned! Gross…

Went to dinner at Flo’s with our large family party of 13 during a vacation to Myrtle Beach.
We started with the gator kebabs, since no one in our party had had gator before and we wanted to give it a try. Verdict: Pretty good! The BBQ sauce they were in was tasty if a bit sweet, and the kids devoured the kebabs.
My husband and I ordered the she-​crab soup and a bowl of clam chowder and tried a little of both. The clam chowder was first rate. I’m really picky about my clam chowder — it needs to be flavorful, creamy, have a fresh crab flavor, and preferably no sand. This chowder had it all. The she-​crab soup wasn’t quite as good, maybe a little on the sweet side, but still overall tasty.
I had Flo’s Flounder for the main dish. Delicious crab filling, perfectly done flounder, and the fried green tomato on top was very good, even though I’m not usually a tomato fan.
The service was exceptional. Drinks were refilled before we even noticed they were low. Food arrived very promptly. Additionally, I have to point out that my autistic 8-​year-​old son froze up when it was time to order drinks and couldn’t decide. I could tell he was verging on a meltdown — but the waitress didn’t even bat an eye, even managing to correctly read my lips when I mouthed «just water, please» over my son’s head. So many times we get weird looks from service people when my son exhibits autistic behaviors, but this waitress took it totally in stride. VERY much appreciated.
The food also arrived very promptly, and the view of the creek was a lovely backdrop to our meal. Really can’t say enough great things about our experience. Thanks, Flo’s!

This was pretty awful. Service was the only positive. Both grilled seafood platters were so over cooked, you couldn’t eat them. The shrimp creole lacked any flavor and the sides all came out cold. Flo’s flounder was a tiny portion.
The grilled oysters, while overcooked were decent.
The $ 3.95 charge for the gluten free bread was insulting. Shame on you for over charging the people who can’t eat regular bread. Our waiter said it was $ 1.95 which was still too much but the bill arrived, he was wrong.
We won’t be back and I can’t recommend this place.

They may want to think twice what they are passing off as gator there. The shrimp was ok.

Stopped for lunch today on our last day in Myrtle beach. Greeted by a friendly person and had a great waitress.
Some yummy crab dip washed down by a couple Bloody Mary’s. We ordered the fish tacos and the shrimp tacos. Both had great presentation when brought to our table and both were very good. Some tasty hush puppies hit the table as we waited for our entrees.
Beautiful setting on the inlet. Was our best meal during week we spent at Myrtle Beach.
Thanks for the enjoyable visit.

What a Gem of a place. Visited for lunch and our server, Janice was amazing. The Fried Green Tomatoes were a little under cooked, but the staff recognized that they were testing the recipe and had cut the tomatoes at little too thick. Our table and another table were not charged. I didn’t care for them but my wife enjoyed them. But then I’m a northerner.
The Po’ Boys were to die for. We had the Shrimp Ball & Blackened Fish. We couldn’t finish the sandwich. Good coleslaw and fries.
We will most certainly return.
Also cannot say enough about our server and the other staff.
You’re making a big mistake if you are near Murrells Inlet and don’t stop at Flo’s

If you’re looking for crab legs, here is one of the few spots you’ll want to find on the inlet. Pretty good snow crab! Mediocre service. A neat atmosphere — of course «New Orleans-​ish» and also water front. The shrimp and grits were bad, very bad. But there are some things you just don’t try to do when you’re a New Orleans themed restaurant in South Carolina :)
Definitely worth a stop, feels different than the rest of the places on the seafood strand.

Excellent food! I tried the Captain’s Seafood Platter and it was delicious! Lots of shrimp, great scallops, great stuffed crab, and the fries weren’t bad either. Friendly service, great atmosphere, outdoor dining available, and not too crowded. I will definitely eat here again.
