Wife and I went in for lunch. They were out of several items. There was not much selection after that. I ordered seafood nachos, and the waitress asked "Do you like Japs?"... I almost asked if she was referring to people living in Japan or if she was talking about jalapeno peppers. My nachos came to the table and had so much cheese on them that you could have called it a cheese tray. My wife's burger, requested at medium temp, was very well done and dried out. They also had no diet drink offering. I realize there are supply chain issues these days, but this was more like someone in charge of ordering things had not done their job. Overall, I was not very impressed. I may give it another try some other time, but if this visit was the final verdict, it would not be too good for me.

I'd been looking for crab cake eggs benedict for 4 years, and this place had them! And it was DELICIOUS!! The portions of food that the rest of the group got were generous and well-priced, and the staff was very attentive and friendly.The atmosphere was great, there was a live performer who was really good, and the whole experience was great!

We ordered the Tuna Poke for an appetizer... really good! Enough for 3 people. Each of us ordered the tacos... shrimp tacos and blackened fish tacos with the street corn. Very good flavor and plenty of shrimp and fish on the tacos!The menu has a huge variety to choose from. The service was great. We came early and did not have to wait for a table.

Let's hope they've improved since opening last year. First place we went out to eat after restaurants opened up last year. Three of our four got horribly sick with food poisoning. I called called the manager who was very lackadaisical about it. Should have called the health department. June 2021 was our last visit to Dirty Don's. Would like to support locals but not likethis. PS two of us shared a pitcher of margaritas & didn't get the slightest buzz. Oh well.....

Dirty Don's North Myrtle Beach is a very different location than the original, but the very same great service, food, and prices. We visited mid-week and found a lively crowd and live music for our dinner. Unfortunately they were out of lobster for some reason and my wife was really in the mood for their Lobster Mac & Cheese. Never fear, our waitress suggested we try the Mac & Cheese with blackened scallops instead and it was wonderful. It is an off-menu option, but they should really put it on the menu!Wide selection of your seafood favorites coupled with generous portions makes Dirty Don's a winner. Make sure you give them a try if you're in the area. If not, try one of their other locations.

Great food and great service from Aleah !!! Sorry if I spelled her name wrong. She did a great job !!!

Love it!. On weekends from 1to 3 mussels, clams or craw fish 10 dollars. Staff is friendly food is good. French fries were a little soggy

The pitcher of drinks only full 3 small cups! They were out of a lot of food & didn’t tell us until after our order was in.

My husband and I are trying out restaurants in the area since we recently moved here. We entered the restaurant and stood near the hostess station. A server walked over and didn’t smile or welcome us. In a very matter-of-fact tone she just said that we could sit wherever we wanted. There were LOTS of open tables so we chose one a few feet away by the bar. Nobody acknowledged us for several minutes so I went back to the hostess station and got menus. The other server and the bartender never looked our way. As we were reconsidering our choice to even eat here because the service was so bad in a restaurant with few patrons, a smiling sever by the name of Leah came to our table. She was so nice and immediately recommended their tacos which is what I wanted anyway. I ordered the fried fish tacos and my husband ordered the chicken and fried shrimp basket with a baked potato. We would have left if not for Leah and the food which was delicious. They were some of the best fish tacos I’ve ever had. The decor is fun to read, the Chive TV on some of the tv’s is fun. There’s plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I would just caution anyone that other than Leah, the service is not so great. If you sit in someone else’s station, which is obviously what happened to us, then the sour puss server at the table right next to us could have said something to us rather than acting like we were invisible. The bartender could have said something too as he only had 4 people at the bar and served food to two folks that came in after us and got attention. I know places are short staffed, but that was NOT the problem here and why I only gave them 3 stars.

First time here n we really enjoyed our meal. Our waitress was very pleasant n we never felt rushed. The seafood was fried n not greasy. My husband loved the Shrimp Nachos n my Oyster Poorboy was the best. We will definitely come back here.
