This longtime Murrells Inlet standby sits right on the water and is always a big hit with diners from near and far. Jack's booty, of course, comes in the form of fresh-from-sea numbers that are prepared to taste - grilled, blackened, sautéed or fried. From specialty dinners like Grouper Royale topped with crabmeat and béarnaise sauce to the substantial combination platter that allows you to pair up your choice of flounder, shrimp, oysters, deviled crab, scallops and creek shrimp, it's all good here. Don't stop by Drunkén Jack's without sampling a few handfuls of their famous hushpuppies dipped in honey butter.
