One of Murrells Inlet's tastiest cafe's isn't located on the inlet. Instead, Salt Creek cafe focuses more on cuisine from the creeks and swamplands of the South Carolina Lowcountry than the ships that sail out to sea. Featuring shrimp, crab and oyster dishes, all harvested from local waters, Salt Creek Cafe creates some outstanding Southern dishes using fresh seafood, produce and meats. For those who prefer land food, Salt Creek does it all. The extensive menu ranges from meat loaf and mashed potatoes to shrimp and grits. The lounge is also a popular gathering spot, offering scenic views of a neighboring creek.
