About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
The original Hot and Hot Fish Club was founded in the late 1700’s by the planters of All Saints Parish. The social club was dedicated to epicurean pursuits; gourmet food, strong drinks and festive times. The first club was said to be on Drunken Jack Island, located just a few miles south from here. Members of the original club described their past time spent on the island as the “happiest hours of their lives.” The Club was dismantled and finally laid to rest after the Civil War. An ever shifting sand bar off the coast of Huntington Beach State Park is all that remains of the original site. The Hot Fish Club today is located in the oldest existing restaurant building on the Grand Strand. Hot Fish Club remains a favorite gathering place today for discriminating locals and is open to everyone seeking Great Food, Great Drink, and Lively Conversation, in the spirit of those earlier revelers. We pride ourselves on our personal service and our desire to satisfy each guest.

    Normally EVERYTHING at Hot Fish Club is exceptional however we had a reservation and were seated immediately and waited over 10 minutes before our drink order was taken. It was just two of us so not too difficult or time consuming. The waiter (Sully) was polite and engaging and took our drink and meal order all at once. The crab cake was delicious and the complimentary bread is amazing! Perfectly crusted on the outside with a warm soft inside. Yum! We had to wait a while to get our check but besides that and the initial wait to be served overall it was a pleasant dining experience.

    We were seated immediately. Service was great. Food was amazing as always. Lobster pasta, blue crab dip, and sea bass was so good. Great atmosphere too.

    The restaurant was extremely hot which made the experience horrible. The Red Snapper dinner was not prepared correctly and the fish seemed raw inside. Husband was sick all night! We are locals and we will not return.

    Beat food, service & views of the inlet! The crabs & seabass were outstanding & the burrata pear salad was superb. Loved the grouper bites as well.

    Nice for a special occasion. Gazebo bar is fun but trying to get a drink is hard even when you are sitting right at the bar when busy.
