With a population of approximately 130, Pawleys Island is one of South Carolina’s smallest and most charming towns. It’s one of the oldest summer resorts on the east coast, situated 70 miles north of Charleston and 25 miles south of Myrtle Beach. And tucked away in this tiny town just so happens to be one of the nicest restaurants in America.

Frank’s and Frank’s Outback Restaurant are located on Ocean Highway, the main road through Pawleys Island.

It’s actually two restaurants in one location with four dining venues and four bars to choose from, reputed in the area as setting the standard through the years for fine dining.

On holidays, you may find special decor fitting for the occasion as well as specials, such as this Palmetto Ace cocktail offered on Valentine’s Day.

Asparagus and Shrimp Remoulade Salad featuring arugula, iceberg lettuce, and lemon garlic olive oil was another prior special offering. The restaurant menu changes seasonally and is globally-inspired.

Whatever entree you decide on, be sure you save room for dessert and ask about the homemade cheesecake of the week!

Of course, if cheesecake isn’t your thing there are other options. Here we have fresh, warm blueberry cobbler made with sweet, local blueberries from Winyah Blueberry Farms. So yummy!

The warm Layered Caramel Cake topped with vanilla ice cream is a favorite.
