My husband loves Lee's Inlet Kitchen. Me-meh. I do love that they have sangria(red and white). We decided to go there on a Saturday night and the bar was empty. We sat at the bar and Brenda(?) took our drink order. An old fashioned for him and red sangria for me. We had previously decided that we would both get the she crab soup. This soup is the thickest I have ever tasted. It was very good. Next we decided to share the grilled oysters. He thought they were tremendous. I thought that they really had no flavor. For dessert we shared the strawberry cake which was very good. Would I come back here? He likes it so I will. If you see me there, stop by and say hello.

I was craving a good seafood meal before we left the area and Lee's was exactly what i wanted. The red crab Chowder was scrumptious. My husband got the she-crab soup. It was a little too thick but had very good flavor. The complimentary fritters and honey butter they bring to the table is way better than those I've had anywhere else. I had the blackened grouper which was moist and prepared properly. My husband opted for grilled shrimp and ate them all even though he doesn't like much seafood. Get the onion rings as a side and youll thank me later! Our waiter was very attentive despite being very busy with other large groups. A bit pricey but we knew that going in and feel that we got a qquality seafood dinner in Paris with the price. Would definitely go back!

Lee's is a great seafood spot in Myrtle - I thought the food was super. A lot of fried items, but it's possible to order more than fried things. (e.g., she-crab soup, grilled oysters, etc.) The service was fast & friendly; and they were busy. The ambiance is bright and casual with lots of multi-generational families there. Yep, clearly the grandkids and grandparents in attendance :)

On a bustling Thursday night after a big rainstorm walked in at 5:45pm and was told the wait for my family if 5 would be a 20 minutes. After we sat the bar for 5 minutes our table was ready. We grabbed our drinks and headed to the table and the creek shrimp that we ordered on the happy hour special was brought to our table, hot and crispy. We had reservations for a dolphin cruise so we ordered soon after we were sat. My wife and I ordered the combination seafood platter with flounder, deviled crab & fantail shrimp and 2 sides (pimento cheese grits and the veggie of the day- buttered beans. Kane was our waiter and his service was great. Drinks stayed full and food served promptly. Good meal, great service in a classic southern welcoming restaurant.

Monday night dinner w/cousin & sister; first dinner together on our vacation. Adorable little place with plenty of parking. Inside seating, however, is very tight, not lending to a quiet atmosphere for conversation. Drinks were brought in reasonable time, then it took a minute before our waiter, Merrill, returned to take our order. Cousin went with the grilled grouper and asparagus. Sister and I split the grilled crab cakes with a side salad and ordered a side of the pimento cheese grits. Hushpuppies were brought. Definitely a sweet cornbread puppy; small and okay, just not the ones we are used to eating. They didn't add anything to the meal. Cousin's grouper was grilled perfectly with no dryness in the thick pieces of fish, and asparagus were not soggy. The house made balsamic vinaigrette for my sister's salad was SO tart none of us could eat it. My sister used some of cousin's blue cheese dressing to finish her salad, since we didn't see Merrill for another 5 minutes. Pimento cheese grits were good after you got through the shock of cheese on your first bite, which is to be expected with such a bold new flavor. Crab cakes were good, but there was a binding agent in it we couldn't identify, almost like a stuffing mix. Still tasty. Drinks ran dry before they were refilled. Military 10% discount was applied to my crab cake dinner and we split our check on 3 cards. Took much more time to check out than we expected. It was our most expensive meal during the week-long trip. It was good, but slow service and tight accommodations would make me consider elsewhere to eat.
