Inlet Sports Lodge: A Weekend In Murrells Inlet

Recently, we had a couple in their mid-thirties spend some time with us here at Inlet Sports Lodge. Out of curiosity, we sat down with them to find out what they did during their weekend in Murrells Inlet. Perhaps there are a few things that you didn’t even consider during your stay here in the Inlet, so we are here to provide some insight!

“On Friday, we arrived at the Inlet Sports Lodge around 4pm. We were greeted by a welcoming young lady who checked us in and provided us with our room number. Our suite was cozy and felt very much like home. We loved the wood floors and the complimentary coffee and water were a very nice touch! It was also very convenient to have a mini-frig in our room. We enjoy the little things in life!

Once we got all of our clothes put away for the weekend, we headed down to the Marshwalk for dinner. We made reservations at Wahoo’s because we had never eaten there before. The food and ambiance was fantastic. My husband and I both got seafood, because well, we figured we should since we are in the seafood capital of South Carolina! After dinner, we went for a stroll down the MarshWalk to enjoy the beautiful weather and then stopped by Bubba’s Love Shak for a drink. We sat outside since it was so nice and my husband had a cigar (as he always does). So far so good!

Saturday morning we woke up, got ready and headed downstairs only to be met by a wonderful breakfast spread. We ate and then drove down to Georgetown to check out the Hopsewee Plantation. As history buffs, it was extremely interesting to learn about one of the south’s largest rice plantations as well as the birthplace of Thomas Lynch, Jr. who was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. We knew that we wanted to eat lunch while we were there so we made reservations at the River Oak Cottage Tea Room that was on site. They had a delectable assortment of finger sandwiches and tea..just want we needed! After lunch, we drove over to Historic Downtown Georgetown to check out Front Street. There were several boutique shops and cafes to browse. Very cute little area. We spent a few hours there and then decided to head back to the Inlet Sports Lodge to change for dinner.

We had heard good things about the Chive Blossom Cafe from a few locals the night before, so we headed down to Pawleys Island for dinner. The food was outstanding! You could tell that everything was made in house with fresh, local ingredients. It was a nice change of pace from the standard fare that you get along the Grand Strand. After we had our fill, I was in the mood for a drink and my husband wanted another cigar, so we compromised and headed to Bourbon & Burnz for both! The atmosphere was very relaxed, as were the others who were there. It was the perfect nightcap!

Unfortunately our stay ended on Sunday, but we had an absolutely fantastic time! The staff at Inlet Sports Lodge could not have been more accommodating. We will definitely stay here again!”

Featured Murrells Inlet Restaurant: Costa Coastal Kitchen & Bar

Classic Italian cuisine with a coastal flare! That’s what this month’s featured Murrells Inlet restaurant Costa Coastal Kitchen & Bar is all about.

#1 On TripAdvisor.com

Although they have only been open since the summer of 2016 here in the Inlet, Costa is the #1 ranked seafood restaurant according to TripAdvisor.com. That says a lot considering Murrells Inlet is known as the seafood capital of South Carolina. By using fresh, local ingredients, Costa has been able to capture the hearts of not only the tourists, but also the locals. For restaurants to be able to stay afloat in the offseason, it’s extremely important to be have a good local customer base. Unique food specials and homemade Italian dishes have done just that!

Management

Owner Jimmy Pronesti was born and raised just outside of Pittsburgh, PA and he brings that blue collar work ethic to the restaurant every day. General Manager Harold Howell brings personality that makes you feel like you are a part of the family. The cozy ambiance makes you feel at ease, as opposed to the intimidation of a lot of higher end restaurants in the area.

What To Order

More often than not, Costa will offer guests their Burrata appetizer. This soft mozzarella cheese is typically served with a seasonal fruit (pears, peaches, etc.), arugula, red onion, prosciutto and balsamic vinaigrette on a rustic wooden board. If you see this on their chalkboard full of daily specials, order it!

Other appetizers to consider: Stuffed Banana Peppers, Meatballs (better than Grandma used to make), Fried Asparagus

For your entree, Costa offers several fresh fish and seafood options. One of our favorites is the Spicy Crab & Lemon with oven roasted tomatoes, charred corn, preserved lemon, arugula, and chili pepper tossed with fresh fettuccine. It’s like a symphony of flavors in your mouth!

Other entrees to consider: Pan Seared Diver Scallops (best at the beach), 18 oz. Ribeye

Murrells Inlet Restaurants: Local Favorites

What’s better than eating a big ol’ plate of fried seafood while relaxing in a comfy chair as you gaze out into the waterway? How about doing so only a few minutes from the Inlet Sports Lodge? Talk about convenience!

Murrells Inlet is known as the seafood capital of South Carolina, so there really is no better place to enjoy a taste of the sea. Murrells Inlet restaurants are known for much more than seafood though. We have compiled a small list of our favorite, local spots relatively close to the Inlet Sports Lodge to fill up your belly!

Costa Coastal Kitchen & Bar – CostaMyrtleBeach.com

This one isn’t on our list just because it’s our on-site restaurant, but because it’s the #1 restaurant in Murrells Inlet (according to Yelp & TripAdvisor). That’s right…#1! Costa serves traditional Italian fare with a classic twist. They are also known for their seared scallops and fresh fish options. If you enjoy your food with a little heat, give the Spicy Crab & Lemon pasta dish a shot. Fresh crab is mixed in with oven roasted tomatoes, charred corn, preserved lemon, arugula, and chili pepper tossed with fresh fettuccine. It’s FABULOUS!

Prosser’s BBQ – ProssersBBQ.com

If you are in the south, you expect good barbecue. You won’t be disappointed if you head to Prossers! From succulent pulled pork to the best fried chicken you will ever eat, their BBQ buffet has everything you would expect and more. After you chow down on homemade mac & cheese, chicken bog and collard greens, make sure you save some room for some banana pudding. It’s not a southern meal without some banana puddin’! This BBQ joint is only a handful of miles from the Lodge.

Hot Fish Club – HotFishClub.com

To most locals, the Hot Fish Club is known for their nightlife. After all, Murrells Inlet is known as a quant little drinking village with a fishing problem! Before you let loose and party, make sure you put some food in your belly. Start out with the Blue Crab Fondue then ease your way into some Lobster Pot Pie. No, that’s not a type-o. The Lobster Pot Pie is filled with large chunks of lobster, shrimp & scallops in a creamy white wine cream sauce topped with scratch-made puff pastry for an added crunch. It’s one of those meals that just warms up your soul!

River City Cafe – RiverCityCafe.com

In the mood for a juicy burger? Look no further than River City Cafe! With multiple locations across the Grand Strand of Myrtle Beach, it’s easy to fill that void in your stomach with some delicious meat. Lucky for you, there is a River City right down the street from Inlet Sports Lodge. All of their burgers (beef, turkey or chicken) are phenomenal. Our recommendation is the California Pizza Burger that is topped with a fried provolone cheese patty, pepperoni & marinara sauce. It’s absolutely unreal! You would also be doing yourself an injustice if you went to River City Cafe and left without getting their onion rings, which are the largest we have ever seen, anywhere! Another added bonus are the complimentary peanuts that you can snack on as you wait for your food.

So as you can see, the Murrells Inlet restaurants in the area offer everything you could want…and more. If you are interested in staying in the area so that you can enjoy each one of these places at your disposal, give Inlet Sports Lodge a call at 877.357.6106 and we will take care of you!
