Russell's is the full package. We parked next to the tree in the middle of the parking lot and immediately found ourselves in a conversations over the crushed sea shells being used as a base for the parking lot. After snapping a few pics of our boy in front of the huge anchor at the tree we headed inside. We... More

We saw that Russell’s was the number one rated restaurant in Murrells Inlet by Trip Advisor, so we ate there one evening in early May. We were lucky to get a table for two at the front corner window. I had a half dozen oysters on the half shell and my wife and I shared their seafood platter, which was... More

By what we read here, we decided to give this local gem a try. Excellent service. Our server (Will) could not have been more accommodating or helpful. The owner came around to each table regularly. The raw oysters were very inexpensive, and delicious. The She Crab soup left a little something to be desired, as I don't see the point... More

I go to Murrells Inlet to eat everytime I stay at Pawleys Island or Litchfield. Some how I have always gone to the boardwalk but a local told me I was missing the best food and great company. My wife and I walked up the stairs the lady said find you a seat where you would like to set. After... More

I have enjoyed Russell's every time i have been to Murrells Inlet. Warm, sincere, friendly greetings every time. Atmoshere is warm and nautical, service is outstanding. Russell's can become busy at times and you may have to wait, especially during peak times, this is a place that the residents of Murrells Inlet frequent. The fresh flounder dishes are the best...

When Russell's was recommended to us we were told there might be a wait, and there was. We were told it would be well worth it though. Well I am sorry to say that it definitely was not worth it. My oysters were soggy and the breading was falling off of them, and my wife's "She Crab Soup" tasted like... More

After reading all of Russell's reviews it seemed like our choice for dinner was a no brainer. After our dinner at Russell's we all felt our brains had been preserved. All of our dinners ( 1 marinated tuna, 1 unmarinated tuna, 1 grouper and 1 shrimp and scallop) and 3 sides of green beans were OVER salted to an almost... More

We arrived when they had just opened for dinner and we were the only ones there.... so we questioned our decision. Within minutes our server, Will, was attending to us and sharing ideas for dinner choices to maximize our sampling of dishes. We opted to share an oyster appetizer and a large seafood platter. Great idea. More than enough food... More

She Crab Soup is a must at this small and friendly Murrell's Inlet establishment. One regular customer told me he comes by most evenings for a bowl of soup and hush puppies. Deviled Crabs are good, FRIED Deviled Crabs are something special. When the proprietor goes to each and every table to check on his customers you feel more like... More
