The seafood was so fresh and prepared perfectly! It was so good our friends requsted we returned 2 nights later. My broiled seafood platter was one of the best . My wife's crab cakes had very little filler, loaded with crab meat. Our friends said...the fish was so fresh it tasted like it was just caught.More

We have been visiting Lee's Inlet Kitchen now for years, after one of my friends recommended it to us well over a decade ago. The restaurant is family-owned and operate, since 1948. So, you know they're doing something right. Our waitress was very attentive. I...had grilled mahi mahi with a loaded baked potato and asparagus with a Béarnaise Sauce. My wife had a steak and shrimp with green beans and a baked potato.More

Absolutely amazing. First, the service was impeccable. Riley was attentive, ensuring that our drinks were continually refilled. Our food was perfectly timed and everything was hot and fresh. The hush puppies with honey butter came to the table soon after being seated. Our appetizer of...onion rings, which were delicately thin and deliciously crispy, soon followed. Our salads arrived right as we were finishing our appetizer, and the seafood arrived as we finished our salads. Everything was fantastic. I had the combination platter with flounder, scallops and fantail shrimp. My husband had the fried seafood platter. But one of the most wonderful surprises was the house made blue cheese salad dressing. This was the best blue cheese dressing I’ve ever had. My only regret is that we ate so much food I didn’t have room for dessert. I highly recommend Lee’s Inlet Kitchen.More

We ate dinner here on a Saturday in October. While the restaurant was full, there was no wait around 6pm. The restaurant was clean, family oriented, and everyone was friendly. Coming from PA, the seafood was really good and reasonably priced. It is hard not...to compare it to a dinner we had the previous night on the marsh walk. We felt that dinner was better, but it was also more expensive. This is a good, solid choice for families.More

A Murrells Inlet landmark. Look and feel of a nice seafood restaurant. Never disappoints. There's a few reasons why they've been around so long. Starting with their own special hushpuppies and honey butter and then to the well mixed house salad with homemade dressings, you...know that you're in for a treat. Portions are plenty so we skipped the appetizer. My wife had the broiled combination platter with the flounder, shrimp, and scallops accompanied by a baked potato. I had the broiled seafood platter, also with a baked potato. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked and brought out quickly and hot. Service was great. Ask for Celeste, she's the best!More

The best plate of grilled scallops and fantail shrimp I have ever eaten! Have eaten here several times over the years and they are consistently the best seafood in Murrells Inlet/Myrtle Beach. Service, food, cocktails, atmosphere and parking are excellent. Highly recommend!

Waited so long to eat here, as there is always a line. Finally got to go and was so disappointed. Service was so slow. Took 20 mins to give a drink order. Ordered 2 appetizers, Fried Green Tomatoes and Calamari. I've had great and so-so,...but both of these were horrible. Our dinners were not that bad, but not really good. I would not go back here again.More

Just amazing seafood along with everything else. My opinion the best seafood I've had in awhile, on par with much more expensive restaurants. I had the grilled scallops and shrimp and the scallops were melt in your mouth, my wife loved her fried crab cake....The kids even loved the pizza. The she crab soup was perfect, the salads with homemade dressings were really tasty and oh my the strawberry cake dessert was as tasty as our favorite bakery from back home. Just everything from the waitress, to the food was perfect and we have been three times starting almost ten years ago and the food is just as good as back then and delicious each and every timeMore

This is my favorite restaurant for fried seafood. The breading is light and cooked to a perfect golden brown. There is a reason that this restaurant has been in operation for so long!

My family and I visited Lee’s Inlet Kitchen on our vacation. The food was delicious, however we felt very rushed. The waitress was trying to take our plates before we were done. We had a Fire and Ems discount, which we had to tell the...waitress about after she brought the bills to the table which seemed to be very frustrating to her. We also asked for extra hush puppies and she didn’t act like she wanted to bring any, so we thought maybe we were only allowed a certain amount for our table- which would have been fine. Then we overheard another waitress in our seating area asking her table if they would like more.More

I was looking for fresh seafood recommendations near Myrtle Beach, and this place was highly recommended. My husband and I decided to give it a try during a family trip. While driving down the road to get to Lee’s there are a ton of other...eateries on the left and right side that were so busy. It was really overwhelming! Once we got to Lee’s, which was past all of the chaos of bars and eateries, right away we felt like we made the right choice! The menu was excellent with many options. The service was amazing. Drinks and food were incredibly fresh and tasty! We will be back! Try the she crab soup!More

It was not a pleasant visit! We were seated next to a group of low-lifers, drinking and very loud. Not pleasant for a nice quiet, romantic anniversary dinner. Very disappointed and actually embarrassed. Besides this, the food wasn't good at all.
