Red Snapper Inn - Surfside Beach

Greek influence. Local seafood. Very clean, nice staff. Pricey! No sandwiches after 2 pm.

The Red Snapper does not disappoint. It's been 3 years since our last visit and it was just as delicious as we remembered. Dined in one night and did a to-go order two days later. The seafood is well prepared whether you prefer grilled, fried or any of the other options. The Greek salad is one of the best I've had. Friendly, casual atmosphere with good service. Nice wine selection. We've never had room to try anything on the dessert menu. Maybe next time!

Couldn’t be any fresher, with seasoning to point! Try the crab legs in chili Thai sauce to awaken your taste buds!

I have read mixed reviews on The Red Snapper Inn, and don't have a ton of experience with this place going back years and years like some of the other reviewers. The place is dated somewhat, but I appreciate the charm that creates. It does feel like taking a step back in time somewhat, and the setting is very dark and cozy. It feels like a seafood restaurant walking distance from a coast that has see lots of good and bad times over the years. This place has that same weathered storm feel. Its the kind of place that seems to have its loyal local customer in a small beachy setting that also sees lots of outside vacationers come and go. This place looks to stay loyal to who it is and what its always been and isn't catering to the passers thru. That said I liked the atmosphere but if you are looking for a bright cheery vacation feeling restaurant, and beachy scenes right out the window this is not the place. If you are in the mood for darker, cozier, quiet with a bit of the older more local crowd feel this is a great choice. Wait staff was nice and I got the impression they have worked here for years. Owner was on site and walking the floor to make sure everything was running smoothly. I know its a place more known for seafood choices but I wouldn't over look the Chicken Fried Steak. I think its a excellent choice and would definitely recommend! 4 stars for me because I felt the menu could have used a few more options in the non seafood category. Also I thought their prices were a tad high for their seafood items. Waitress rarely came around to check on us, see if we needed refills, etc so I had to flag her when we needed something. Other than that no major complaints here and would certainly recommend.....but trust me don't forget the Chicken Fried Steak recommendation!

Been coming to Surfside for years, first time we tried this place and it was amazing!! Gumbo appetizer was delicious, then our main course, Snapper Pontchartrain and Greek Snapper absolutely delicious, couldn’t finish We were so stopped so got it to go for a nice lunch tomorrow. We will definitely be back! Our server was awesome too!
