Dirty Don's Oyster Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Myrtle Beach

Came here on Sunday with my mom to celebrate her and we had an amazing time. First, the customer service was just beyond amazing! Everyone greeted us, literally everyone--from the bartender, to each of the waitresses. My mom and I felt like mini celebrities.

We were given the choice to sit inside or outside and we chose to sit outside at one of their tables with umbrella coverings. Our waitress, Miranda, greeted us with a smile and gave us menus. The well priced items are a variety of surf and turf, salads, and sandwiches. They also have a small drink menu with their house specials. My mom and I decided to split two items; along with a half and half tea for mom and I got a White Claws Seltzer to sip on.

With the cool breeze blowing under the warm sun my mom and I sat eating grilled oysters and a fried oyster salad. The food was delicious and every bite was super yummy. My mom barely shared her grilled oysters as they quickly disappeared from her plate. I got half a bite, which had a nice Cajun seasoning to it; but the fried oysters were my jam.

It was my first time trying fried oysters and I was super impressed by the light batter and crispy crunch. I wish that I could have eaten more, but my stomach said "stop". We were able to box up the salad which was a diverse mix of greens, bacon, onions, and eggs. Dressing came on the side along with homemade tartar sauce and cocktail sauce.

I definitely would come back for the food, atmosphere, and service! Such a win a sea of restaurants...

AVOID AT ALL COSTS: The bar clearly overserved a woman named Tammy who apparently is a regular and, according to another local, will always get very drunk, touch other people inappropriately without their permission, cuss them out, and pester people/intrude on their conversations even as they are trying to enjoy their meal or their party's company. You know a person is bad news if multiple strangers, and locals, tell you to avoid her at all costs (would've been nice to know beforehand).

Unfortunately, this happened to me and my fiance last night. On top of the aforementioned behavior, she also took an orange off of my fiance's beer when she left to go to the bathroom, ate it, and THREW it into our seafood basket that we were still eating out of. She also tried to steal our food TWICE. After I confronted her, she felt that she was entitled to do whatever she wanted because she "lives here" and bought us both a beer (which we accepted after trying to politely decline her offer several times).

Despite all of this, the bartender refused to kick her out or comp our meal which was clearly ruined after Tammy's rude and disgusting behavior. To make matters worse, the bartender served Tammy ANOTHER drink after bringing these issues to her attention.

Me and my fiance have dined here for years and will never come back.

Totally...

Had sometime to kill waiting to pick some buds up from the airport. Thought I would grab a small snack to hold me over. I love oysters and saw this Oyster house, so thought I would give it a try. Great little location, off the beach about a block or so. Nice outdoor seating and small indoor with a bar. Staff was very nice and got me sat pretty quick. I ended up trying the oyster sampler. 4 different kinds, Blackened, Parmesan, blue cheese withBuffalo sauce and Rockefeller. Over all I wasn't overly thrilled with it. After I ordered it came pretty quick and most of the oysters were cold under a warm topping. Also they were pretty small. The best were how I would rank would be Blackened, Garlic/Parmesan, Rockefeller then Blue cheese. The Blackened and Garlic were the warmest of the bunch, think why I liked them the best. The Rockefeller were cold and watery. The Spinach overwhelmed the taste and with it being cold I only ate 2 of them. The Bleu Cheese was all you could taste, it was so over powering, with a hint of Buffalo sauce, also being more on the cold side, I couldn't put down any others. The atmosphere was cool and I'd probably give them another try, but felt the $30 I spent for the sampler was a waste. Next time I would just order plain raw oysters, so if wet and cold, will be how...
