We stumbled across this place while walking along the river board walk and we were getting a little hungry and thirsty. We were so happy with the service, food and drinks. First off, we ordered the seared tuna, oysters and the crab bisque. Y-U-M! The food is excellent for being such a local, casual pub place. The food is fantastic!... More

Fresh local seafood does not get any better than The Old Fish House/The Big Tuna in Georgetown. The soft shell crab was fabulous. The whole baby flounder was impressively presented and the taste was excellent. This is what fried seafood is supposed to be---not too much breading. The atmosphere really gives you a coastal, laid back feeling. No need to... More

We had lunch of grouper sandwiches and calamari. They were both excellent. Would definitely recommend sitting in the Big Tuna next to the wharf or outside in the sun. More

This is a no frills place. Its the best dive bar is Georgetown. The raw oysters are the best Ive ever had. The mixed drinks get a little expensive but if your hanging out with friends having a few beers and burgers than this is your place. More

Here is a review from the European perspective of an Alien on vacation in the Myrtle Beach area. The city is a continuous row of high rise hotels along a beach; aimed both at the family and spring break market. All pretty ghastly - better by a mile than old Britsh resorts like Margate, but with none of the style... More

This is my favorite bar in Georgtown. They started serving some food a few years back. The selection keeps expanding and the food keeps getting better. I give it five stars as a bar, but the food still has a little way to go. More

Wanted a no frills meal after Charleston and that's what we found here. Good service, decent shellfish, not much fish on the menu although they did have grouper as a special which we passed on. Bar is very smoky so sit overlooking the river in the backroom. More
