Comments on these Murrells Inlet Restaurants (and Surfside)?

We%26#39;re heading out for our annual trip in a couple of weeks. This year we%26#39;re staying in Surfside. I%26#39;m putting together my restaurant/food listings and have been interested in a couple of new (to us) places to try. Is anybody familiar with these places?

Cakes by Design %26amp; Bakery (Bypass 17 in Murrells Inlet). Looks like a lot of interesting bakery goods. Good place to go to buy baked goods for a large family renting a house?

Blackwater Brews (Bypass 17 in Murrells Inlet). Apparently serves microbrew beer and coffee. Anybody tried the beers? Is it a good place for lunch? It looks like it might be a bit limited.

Harrelson%26#39;s Seafood Market (Business 17 in Murrells Inlet). Good place to buy seafood to cook at our rental? How%26#39;s the prepared seafood for to eat there for lunch?

Prosser%26#39;s BBQ (Business 17 Murrells Inlet). I%26#39;ve seen lots of good reviews of this locals place. We are huge fried chicken fans looking for a new place since JD%26#39;s Pig %26amp; Chicken closed. The reviews focus on the buffets at Prosser%26#39;s. Can you just get takeout fried chicken?

We%26#39;re also looking forward to trying out El Patio in Surfside. Looks like a good place for the guys to go for lunch after golf and for the whole family for lunch or dinner.

We%26#39;ve gone to Anthony%26#39;s (Glens Bay Rd., Surfside) for pizza before. We like the pizza, but we don%26#39;t like their pizza pickup system (you have to get your pickups from the bar and their bartenders are often so overwhelmed with bar service you can wait forever to get your pizzas that are sitting there rapidly cooling off). I%26#39;ve seen a couple of positive mentions of Antipastos (apparently also known as Michael%26#39;s?) in Surfside. Is this a good place to order pizza for pickup?

Thanks for any comments you can provide. We%26#39;re starting to get very excited about the trip!

If you are a pizza snob like we are you need to try Nico%26#39;s. It is on 17 in Garden City right across from Kroger%26#39;s. Somewhat $$ but a good pizza is worth the $$. And for a really good steak or prime rib on the same side as Kroger%26#39;s is the Texas Roadhouse.Very reasonable and very good food.

Thanks for the pizza advice. We%26#39;ll try to check out Nico%26#39;s. We do like the Texas Roadhouse. We often go there for lunch on the day we arrive.

Ultimate California Pizza is fantastic. We always order if for delivery the first night we arrive, when we are too tired to go out. There is one in Surfside and one in Garden City.

I definitely recommend El Patio in Surfside...real Mexicans...delicious Mexican food. We always look forward to eating there our first night of vacation.

I haven%26#39;t eaten at any of those other restaurants you mentioned.

I like Ultimate California Pizza as well...gotten delivery from them many times and eaten at the one at Barefoot Landing. My favorite pizza though is from Pizza ala Roma in Myrtle...so good.

Thanks for the thumbs up on El Patio. That will be a definite.

I don%26#39;t think Ultimate California Pizza will be on our list, though. I love both NY style and Chicago style pizza, but I just can%26#39;t stand California style. We lived in San Francisco for several years and I never found a pizza I loved. California Pizza Kitchen and Wolfgang Puck%26#39;s pizzas started while we were there and that was when I first saw the abomination that is chicken on a pizza. That%26#39;s just wrong! And broccolli on a pizza??? Onions, peppers, garlic and mushrooms OK, but other veggies go in your side salad!

Whew, what a rant! I know lots of people love Ultimate California Pizza. It%26#39;s just not for me. I do very much appreciate your taking the time to reply to my post.

Michaels has amazing italian food. I really recommend it. Pizza is also good.

If your family is into Japanese food Myabi%26#39;s is an amazing place to eat. They do the cooking and a cute show right in front of you.

Cakes by Design.. great pastries. Something to look forward to.
