Ian’s Waterway Bar & Grill

Went here last night for the 1^st time… we had a great meal. This is a good example of not judging a book by its cover. I didn’t think I was going to like it at all. We walked through the restaurant and checked out the exterior bar — where there was entertainment. Looked good outside but decided to sit inside. The waitress was great. She was unsure of what items on the menu would be gluten free so she sent the owner Ian over. He was so nice and more than willing to accommodate my dietary needs. We shared the grilled wings with the gold sauce. It was yummy. The other owner Marc came over and sent an order of fish bites to our table. Everyone enjoyed them. The 2 guys had fish tacos, my friend had the pulled pork and I had a cheeseburger without the bun. Everyone enjoyed their meals. This is a great local place. We will definitely be back.

Stay away!
8 friends went for lunch… Food average… Except one! My friend ordered a burger and it came smelling bad. The meat was SPOILED!
Reordered something else… 20 minutes later she’s having to eat alone while we watched. Do you think the arrogant owner Ian apologized? No! He was rude and denied any problem. And fully charged for the messed up meal! He deserves to go out of business. The previous restaurant in this location was good with a great reputation… It’s a shame this ‘Ian’ is ruining it.
I’ll never go back and none of my friends if I can help it!

One of the best locations in North Myrtle Beach; the view will never disappoint. The former Captn Poo’s is now under new ownership and it’s for the better. Great happy hour drink and food specials daily. Great open air bar and seating right on the intercoastal. On this visit we enjoyed the fish tacos and crab and shrimp dip. Shrimp tacos were delicious but the dip was a little peppery and didn’t have many shrimp in it. Great spot that you should definitely out!

Very friendly service. VERY AFFORDABLE! Also amazing food. I got the fish bites, which were grouper (I think) cut up and fried to perfection. They came with a mild tartar-​like sauce to dip the fish bites in that is made in-​house and is delicious. Fast service as well. Good, well-​seasoned fries, akin to those at Zaxby’s. Our waiter, Stu, could not have been nicer! Very attentive and never let a cup go empty. Extensive beer options, as well as other beverages. Good atmosphere inside, and outside as well. Outside there was a live band playing. The ambiance is very casual and laid-​back. It is in a prime location, right on the beautiful intercoastal waterway. Cool, beachy décor inside. Great weekly specials. Definitely would recommend!!!

I have received a missive from the wife of the singer who, in my review, cast a negative light on Ian’s. As one who certainly understands life stress and behavioral anomalies, I am willing to accept that this falls into a category worthy of reconsideration. Brooke — for you and your openness, I am adjusting my review of Ian’s. It really is a pretty cool joint and my wife and I will most certainly visit again when we find ourselves in the area.

This is in the old Captain Poo’s Bar & Grill and only has been open for 3 days. Sits on the intracoastal waterway. Sat in the outdoor bar which had the plastic walls down. Ordered the Oyster Po’boy with onion rings. Service was fast, attentive and polite. Food arrived very quickly. Po’boy consisted of a hearty approximately 10″ hoagie roll with 2 slices of tomatoes and crispy lettuce leaf that covered the length of the roll. There were about a dozen perfectly cooked oysters. Onion rings were very good and about 8 of them. from what I saw there was 3 drafts and long list of bottled beer. also have wine and full bar. There are also picnic tables right along the waterway as well as an inside dining room. Will return
