Review Franks Restaurant - Pawleys Island

Gus McSpanky
First time there tonight and it won't be the last. A great atmosphere and vibe. The back bar, couches and fireplace was very comfortable. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable. The menu was extensive and creative. The food was delicious. Well done.

Frank's is mildly upscale, but with a relaxed ambience that goes perfectly with the overall feel of the Pawleys Island community. Drinks are quite well made. The varied menu offers a number of really good alternatives, depending on your mood and preferences. The filet, which came medium rare and perfectly cooked, was tender and flavorful. The lamb chops were equally well presented and perfectly done. The beef short rib was tasty and satisfying, and the jumbo lump crab cake was the best I've had this far from Maryland. A coastal fried oyster appetizer was appreciated by everyone. A large slice of 14-layer caramel cake with caramel drizzle and vanilla ice cream topped off our meal perfectly.

We visit Franks every year we go to area as it is one of our favorite spots. Love the atmosphere and staff always great. Shout out to Bob behind the outside bar he was a machine !!!! Didn't love our meals as much in the past. Don't take that as negative as you have to visit if you havent been before. Call for reservations as couldn't believe how packed this place was on a Tues. Couldn't get a spot until 8pm. Tried the short rib but reminded me more of beef stew and not crazy about onion crisps on top. Salmon dish though was good. Check it out !!

This was my first time at this establishment. I will tell you, I was pleasantly surprised. There was more than the eye could take in, the food was absolutely delicious and the wait staff were on point and very attentive. It was a wonderful evening and it made my birthday celebration even better. Thank you all for a wonderful time.

Been to Frank’s twice now and both times were amazing. We got filet & grouper, dishes were outstanding. The 14 layer caramel cake is also to die for! Our server was awesome and friendly as well.

First off I'm going to say that this restaurant is a little more on the pricier side. But it is 100% absolutely worth it. The food is Simply Amazing. The atmosphere is relaxed but social and completely inviting. None of the people who work there that we came in contact with between the hostess, the bar, numerous water people,servers anyone cleaning was in any way rude or disrespectful they were all very kind welcoming and they gave above the bar service that is hard to find nowadays. It's nice to get away and be in a restaurant that is not full of screaming crazy children or obnoxious families. ( That's not to say children and families are not welcome there, its kust that they wrre well behaved and respectful!!!) It was the type of restaurant that I have not been in years and years and years where you just want to go and you want to sit down and you just want to savor your food and have deep conversations and enjoy some drinks nice and slowly and not necessarily leave quickly. It is really clean really well cared for and the staff has been trained impeccably. It is worth every single penny that we spent there for my husband and I to get away and enjoy some time together away from our five children and just be with each other. We went here on November 10th which was the Marine Corps birthday. My husband's a marine and they did have written Billboards wishing the Marines happy birthday so that's extra credit in my opinion. The service is quick efficient and they truly truly care if you are happy and satisfied. The waiters tell you the specials they tell you what kind of food it is they tell you how it's made they give you all the details it's an incredible service. They are very informed and take their job seriously. I usually get so many pictures of places but we were just so into this incredible meal that I didn't even get pictures of everything we got. I got the braised beef ribs and he got a cowboy cut steak. We also had a carmel yellow cake with ice cream that was absolutely fabulous. The food was real high quality meals that were not fried food you didn't feel like you were eating something that was unhealthy for you. It felt like you were eating home cooked meals made by a Top Chef We definitely ate too much and do not regret it at all and will be making this a regular place for us. There is a large crowd and the parking is a little bit tight because it is a very popular place,but it is popular for a really good reason. (The parking lot is huge, just a lit of cars!)When I saw the parking lot so full I was like maybe we should go somewhere else even though we had a reservation but I'm really happy that we chose not to because it was so worth it I don't think that there is a single bad thing that I can say about this place.

After reading some of the reviews we were thinking about changing venues. I have to say the food was awesome, Kerry the waiter was fantastic! We already made a reservation for later in the week with our friends. Have to try the fried deviled eggs!! The plane crash cocktail is a must do as well.

Blackened HalibutWith Heirloom Tri-Color Carrots, Brussel Sprout Petals, Fingerling Potatoes, And Sundried Tomato, Parmesan Cream Sauce was Excellent!!! Our waiter JR was amazing!!

Great ambiance and service. We had a large birthday table and very accommodating. Great outdoor seating. The food was very good- best I’ve ever had, no. I think some of the better dishes were the pizza I tried, the GOOP and the caramel cake. I don’t think I would get bowl of soul again- just didn’t hit the flavor profiles I was expecting and chicken was more a softer fried tender than a piece of southern fried chicken. I also would pass on the Brussels salad- just didn’t do it for me (needed to be dressed a bit more) and I also would have preferred the prosciutto to not be a large chunk on the salad.

My husband and I eat a Franks probably 20 times a year and we are never disappointed. The staff is friendly and professional adding to the already wonderful ambiance of the restaurant. The food is consistently excellent. Just beware, this place is so good and popular you want to get reservations well in advance!

I eat at Frank's at least once a week and neither the food nor the service ever disappoint. I order from both the full menu and the small plate menu depending on my appetite. I'm partial to sitting Outback and this time of year relaxing fire pit after dinner. For dessert, the 14 layer caramel cake cannot be beat!
Alexis Figueroa
Can we take a second to talk about the deep fried jalapeno and bacon deviled eggs? Oh, and the lobster ravioli. Out of this world and waiter was awesome. Can't wait to go back to SC to visit this great establishment again but next time we are definately eating in the secret garden they call outback, beautiful!

This was my first time dining at Frank’s (inside). This is easily in my top five restaurants visited. I had Parmesan encrusted snapper with pimento cheese grits and a mix of baby limas and black-eyed peas. The food was fantastic and the service was the best. I’ll certainly return.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. The service, food, atmosphere never disappoints. We went last night unexpectedly, therefore no reservation. It was early so we were able to get a table. Our waiter was attentive and personable, our martinis were perfect, we got our usual Oysters, Caesar salad and the Mediterranean Lamb pizza... all were amazing. I didn't have my birthday 'free appetizer' coupon with me, but they honored it anyway. I highly recommend Frank's Outback.

I'll have to say, this will be such a Memorable dinner, as we had our 30th Anniversary Date here. Everyone treated us wonderfully, the food was exceptional and our seating was romantically nestled next to the fireplace. We would highly recommend this place to anyone! I can't wait to visit again!
Jamie J Knight
We loved everything about this place! Romantic and relaxing, and the food is excellent! Loved the Shrimp and Grits on the small plate menu! We will be back soon! <3
Richard T. Martin
We always have a great time and always have good food prepared to perfection. The service is attentive without being overbearing. One of the best places to enjoy a special occasion or just a relaxing meal out. We enjoy it so much we intend on having a 50th Anniversary party there later this spring.
Joan Carroza
Lovely setting, great food & server. Janie (?) provided good suggestions for wine & descriptions of various apps & small plates. It was all delicious. Outback is such a lovely venue w/ twinkling lights, music, even on a cool night. My only negative is the hostess w/ whom I spoke to for a reservation as well as when we arrived. Very brusque on the phone & didn’t speak or greet us upon arrival, simply led us to a table. 180 degrees from our sever who couldn’t have been friendlier.
Roy L. Suttles
Very nice venue! Excellent food, wonderful staff and a very relaxing atmosphere to dine! I love � it and highly recommend anyone to stop in for a very pleasant evening of dining!
Richard Little
Frank's is an incredible dining experience. In my opinion the food quality is best available. The preparation by the folks in the kitchen simply is not equaled in this area regardless of what you order. When we have a special occasion, or simply want the best, the decision is simple, we go to Frank's !
Stacy Armistead
I will give them a five star because the food was outstanding. But I had 2 kids with me and I did not receive a kids menu.
Pixie Roberson
Great time, Great place. Great food. Wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend.
Bill Whittington
Definitely a 5 Star restaurant! Atmosphere was amazing and the food was delicious with a very big selection of items you don’t find elsewhere. We had Venison, duck, lamb and seafood!! The parking lot was totally full as was the inside. Also live music. Thanks to Frank’s🍷
Marion Brooks-Byrd
My first time and didn’t disappoint - been coming to PI for over 20 years and always overlooked this gem. Can’t wait to come back
Dustin Millirons
The duck and the caramel cake are absolutely wonderful. The best place for a date night.
Elliott Edward Powell
The owners are locals and the food and total experience is representative of the oldest southern beach resort in America... Pawleys Island! Call well in advance, if you want a reservation.
