    The Gulfstream Cafe is in an amazing location. It overlooks the inlet. We ate on the top outside deck and it was a little sunny and windy. We were seated quickly, but our biggest problem was parking. All the lots were full, and my husband finally parked and then joined us. The waitress was nice, but they were out of a lot of the beer brands mentioned in the menu. Our food took a very long time to come. The crabcakes were wonderful, but some of the other members of our party were not as happy with their food. Upon leaving around 9pm we discovered that my husband had accidentally parked somewhere that he should not have and our car had been towed. We were lucky that they allowed us to get our car that night. Some of the others who were towed were not that lucky and may have had to wait until Monday morning to get their cars. Don't think we will visit this restaurant again.

    I requested an outside deck table at GulfStream Cafe this time and it was shaded and peaceful despite the heat. I’d traveled to Myrtle Beach previously and had a sumptuous meal at the GSC so decided to return! It did not disappoint. The early dinner is by far the best deal you’ll find for price and quality! I had the grilled salmon with veggies and she crab soup. What made this time top notch was the service by Cynthia. She made it a point to make me feel welcome and I really enjoyed having her take care of me this evening. Go see Cynthia, and tell them Tammie from Upstate sent you!

    Tammie, Thank you so much, Tammie, for this glowing review and for returning to dine with us—it truly means a lot! We're so glad you chose to sit out on the deck and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, even in the summer heat. It’s wonderful to hear that the early dinner menu hit the mark again, and that the salmon and she crab soup were just as memorable. We’re especially grateful for your kind words about Cynthia. She’s a valued member of our team, and we’ll be sure to pass along your compliments—she’ll be thrilled to know she made your evening so special. Thank you again for your continued support, and we can’t wait to welcome you back next time you’re in town. Warm regards, Dakota Kruse Manager Gulfstream Cafe (843) 651-8808

    We were created and immediately sat at our table. All 6 of our meals were amazing and our server was on it even though it was so busy. Wonderful experience!

    It took us 15 minutes to get our cocktails after our wives received their beverages. I was happy with my meal but 2 of our party were disappointed with their entry. The worse part of the meal was being asked if we were having dessert and/or coffee while we were still eating our entree. We were shocked but answered anyway that we were not our Waitress replied I will be back with the check. We were not even done eating. It upset one person in our party so much he dropped his fork and handed his unfinished plate to her and said fine just bring the check. Rushed is too kind of a word to use to describe my disappointment. It was not my first time there but it will be my last time.

    Lonny, Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. I'm truly sorry to hear about the experience you had during your recent visit. Delayed drinks, mixed satisfaction with meals, and especially the feeling of being rushed while still eating—none of that reflects the level of hospitality we aim to provide. I understand how frustrating and disappointing that must have felt, particularly after choosing to dine with us again. We truly hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to deliver the quality and care you deserve. Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you would like to discuss your latest visit further. I would love the opportunity to make it up to you.
