One of the best little hidden gems. Seafood was fresh and the portions were very filling. The homemade hush puppies were really good.

This unpretentious establishment seemingly has little to offer except for good food and friendly service. Located just outside of Conway on US-701 this log structure cut back in a grove of trees sits with a single red door and a narrow window with an “open” sign. Blink and you will miss it. Inside is a bare cement floor, open beamed ceiling and seating for about 30 on rows of folding tables covered with oilcloths and slat back chairs. Reservations are required and cash only. We arrived Tuesday for dinner and found the place relatively quiet with only two other tables in use and after a bit they to emptied and we were alone. Drinks and homemade hush puppies were soon brought to our table. These were larger hush puppies with a cornmeal taste and texture with onions. Different from other hush puppies we have had but good. We ordered the Fruit of the Sea seafood platter with a choice of potato, coleslaw, flounder, shrimp, scallops, oysters and deviled crab still in the half shell. Seafood comes fried or for an extra cost broiled, which we choice. Food took approximately 45 minutes with every single item made from scratch and tasting delicious. Large portion fed two of us with an ample serving of everything lightly seasoned and flavorful. Flounder filets were flaky, deviled crab creamy, shrimp and scallops broiled to perfection. Not big on oysters but they were doable, love the slaw and their homemade fries were thicker, soft chips. Our server was friendly and kept our drinks refilled. Living only a mile down the road this fish camp will certainly be our go to place for visiting family and friends.

In my opinion, this is the best seafood spot in all of Horry county. This place is nothing fancy…a humble little cabin tucked away on the side of the road. It’s just a one man show so expect to wait a while. But I promise you the wait is SO worth it. I always get the seafood platter which comes with Flounder, Shrimp, Scallops, Oysters, deviled crab, and a side of potatoes and coleslaw. You can get it fried or broiled. The scallops are to die for. Hush puppies are also served hot and fresh and have big chunks of onion. Any restaurant on the inlet you might get quicker service but you would get a platter that’s half as good for double the price. So glad we found this hidden gem. * Reservations required and cash only!

You won't get frills here. It's a very simple spot that's out of the way, but IT IS FANTASTIC! Got the large seafood platter which was scallops, oysters, deviled crab, shrimp and flounder. It came with coleslaw and potatoes. It was delicious. Those scallops! Oh man. I don't even like scallops. I usually pass on them. I could have eaten a plate of these! The hush puppies can best be described as Right! Big and crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside with a little bit of minced onion. The oysters were perfect, not rubbery at all, and there was a very generous portion of flounder.
Was completely stuffed by the time I finished. A brilliant meal at an extremely fair price. 10 out of 10 will do again.

Tucked away in a small log cabin style restaurant right off of 701 in Conway, comes some of the best seafood I’ve ever tasted. Great selection, service, and extremely tasty, this is an experience you won’t soon forget. There are only 5 or 6 tables so a reservation is required, but priced like it’s still 2015 your wallet won’t take much of a hit, especially for what you get. I don’t know how this place isn’t more popular and I’m not sure if that’s what the owner even wants. Every hush puppy, appetizer, entree, and dessert is made to perfection. Food takes a little longer coming out than most restaurants, but you’ll find out why when your plate arrives. I highly recommend this place. 5 stars, and can’t wait to go again.

We finally tried Luvan's this Mother's Day and we thought it was wonderful. Everything was fresh and made to order. The food was tasty and there was plenty of it. I had the seafood platter...the deviled crab was okay but the rest was delicious. I recommend!
Warren Mitchell
Got there when it opened so had the whole place to myself. The catfish was absolutely the moistest(sp) fish ever. Plenty of food and extremely accommodating. Will return.

We have eaten here before. We got the Senior Flounder plate. $10. Two large pieces of Flounder with a generous serving of slaw. Choice of potato…I got French Fries he got Baked Potato. All of the food was delicious.
We got more food and for less money than we got on a Senior platter In Calabash last week. Hush Puppies with onions definitely not frozen and hot from the fryer.
The waitress was great.
If you have never been before…No credit card accepted…Cash only.
I would not go with a group larger than 2 couples. One waitress and one man kitchen so food is cooked one table at a time.
Expect to wait for your food.(I would not order the “All you can eat” platters unless you have plenty of time. You probably will have all you can eat on the regular platter)

Quaint log cabin atmosphere. Albeit the ongoing heat wave, their A/C was barelykeeping up. The staff was very friendly. I had catfish. I was disappointed because it was batter-fried instead of fried. I'm not a fan of batter-fried food, but I didn't know that when I ordered it.

As of now they do reservations only. No more waiting for a table. Thank you Richard p.s. was so yummy as always! (8/3/22)
Excellent as always. Waitress is the best! we look forward to our visits every year. This year Luvans was the only location we visited mask free meal besides Duplin winery. They kept tables separate and had a great clean setup and followed cdc protocol! Food was amazing as always!
Howard Shuler
Seafood at its best me Randy McDowell and crew are the best they sure know what there doing . The price is great will be back soon Thanks for such an excellent meal.
Scott Nihill
If you want a restaurant that has excellent food with good portions, great service with good prices and would rather have that over a restaurant with great atmosphere this is your place.
We have been here a dozen times atleast and have never been disappointed.
FYI ....no alcohol served but you can BYOB.
Mist make reservations and it's CASH ONLY
Catherine Mezzatesta
This place is like no other. A little wood cabin on the roadside of 701. $19 for 10 broiled scallops that were cooked to perfection. Served with a choice of potatoes or rice and a salad or coleslaw. Of course, hush puppies while you wait. The food is cooked to order, so you may need to wait, though ours came out within minutes. Its by reservation only on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. This may account for the shorter waiting times. This is just a great experience with great food and a very pleasant hostess. Highly recommend! Even if you need to wait for your dinner..it will be worth it!
Phillip Mangiaracina
If you want really good food at reasonable prices, this is the place. Just don't go when busy, you may wait, but the wait is worth it. Now the restaurant has changed to reservations only in 2022. Also don't forget no credit or debit cards, cash works.
Kathleen Toussaint
Always good food. Fresh, hot and large portions! Laid back atmosphere.
I would love to see fried green tomatoes added to the menu during the season.
Oh, and the desserts are to die for. Take one home if you don't have room for another bite right now!
Brian McClintock (McBrian)
I'm just a simple jersey boy and my neighbor showed me this place. The food is amazing.
Cash only, come hungry and have patience. Gotta make a reservation. I never have a problem making a reservation maybe some of you are a little bit impatient 😉. It's one dude usually working.
Get shrimp in garlic sauce
Homemade onion rings dear God yes
Hush puppies and a fresh salad
I am a big guy and never left here yet hungry or broke.
Paul G Bateman
Absolutely fantastic! Real seafood done right at amazing prices. No cards or checks CASH only. Call to Make reservations
Susan Marie Cotton
This is the only place that I can actually say I'VE NEVER HAD A BAD MEAL. I love this place. I its odd inside and took me aback the first time I went but it adds to the experience .<br/>Best fish place around hands down! <br/>Prices are reasonable!<br/>Portions are very substantial!<br/>The only thing YOU NEED TO REMEMBER,<br/>CASH ONLY!!!!!!!
Taylorm_m
Great food!. The setting had our group a little concerned as it is small and so out of the way. Nevertheless, the food was delicious. It brought back memories of good seafood from my childhood. The portions were generous while the price was very reasonable. You can order food cooked other than fried. But the fried food was scrumptious!<br/>Just to repeat an FYI, Luvan's only accepts cash.

Where the Locals Eat. Is very evident. A little log cabin out of Conway on 701S. The seafood is excellent....I was surprised to say the least. I'd heard of how good the food was but never had an opportunity to try it before Thursday, the 31st. My husband and I had the special for the night, a seafood platter for $10.00. Consisted of whitefish, shrimp, oysters and deviled crab. The slaw is great too - reminded me of my husband's grandmother's and you will never find a better hushpuppy anywhere. Chock full of onions and served fresh and hot as was the seafood platter. The platter was more food than I could eat but my hubby did manage to finish his but he said he was stuffed. Next time I plan on trying the pan fried flounder, shrimp and scallops combo. That would be lightly battered and pan fried in BUTTER. I don't know how it could get any better. Definitely need to put this place on your to do list while in the MB area. We've been visiting the area for over 40 yrs. and this is the best seafood place from Calabash to Murrell's Inlet and we've tried them all.

We were in town on vacation and decided to try Luvan's based on the great reviews above. We were very disappointed to find out upon arrival that they no longer accept credit or debit cards. We are a family of eight, and very rarely carry cash, especially when traveling out of state. I would have loved to have tried it, but we didn't have time to go somewhere, get cash and go back. We ended up going down the road to a BBQ buffet and it was NOT good. I have a feeling we would have enjoyed Luvan's more, but since we're headed back to Indiana tomorrow, I guess we'll never know.

WOW !!!!!!!!. This is the best place for seafood in myrtle beach... i would have never expected that it was that great....
Joy Darnell Sykes
Excellent. This is one of those restaurants that all the locals know about, but visitors to Myrtle Beach area are surprised at how good the food is. The seafood and hushpuppies are best we have ever had........better than any place at Calabash......if you expect the best from a restaurant, this place delivers. They are not fancy, but the food is fantastic. They moved here from Murrell's Inlet because the price of land became too expensive. Try the galley fries and the fried oysters or the seafood platter........the fried okra is out of this world good. You may have to split a plate because the portions are larger than expected.
Cierra Carter
Best seafood! Good price for all the food you get on your plate!!! "Seafood platter " :-) yummy
Joe Murray
Very Tasty. I dont even like seafood and this place was great. I had the ribeye and they have the best hush puppies ever. The steak was pretty tasty as well. They also have these tasty little potatoes that they call Galley fries.
