Barefoot Bistro North Myrtle Beach

Came in on a Wednesday night. (11-23) I was seated right away. The service was pretty good. I had to wait 20 to 30 minutes, and then I finally asked my waitress for a pen to sign my tab. When she gave me the bill, she said she would be right back because she forgot to give me a pen. She totally forgot to come back. From the time I sat down, I noticed a lady going table to table speaking with customers. I'm guessing she was the owner or manager. Not once did she come to my table. She even sat and talked with the table across from me pretty much the whole time I was eating my delicious meal. The shrimp and grits I got were some of the best I've had in a long time. The sweet tea was also really good. It was so good and refreshing. I had four glasses of it. I would have given 5 stars but because I waited like 30 minutes after finishing up my meal to get a pen and the owner or manager not checking up on me like she did with every other table in the establishment that's why only 4 stars. It's still worth a try, and I would go back.

First of all, we've passed by this place so many times it doesn't make sense. Every time we go to North Myrtle Beach, we stop by the Food Lion and get things for the condo. This time we decided to stop by Barefoot Bistro and let me tell you!... I am so glad that we did! The night we decided to stop by, there was a one man band there that was pretty good and he sang some of the best oldies and classics. 🎙️🕺 When we got there after a short wait we were greeted by a hostess who was so sweet and so nice. Our waitress, Darlene was super awesome and very helpful in helping us find some good dishes and drinks to choose for the night. I ended up choosing the shrimp and grits and let me tell you these were the best shrimp and grits I've tasted in a while! They weren't like the typical fancy shmancy shrimp and grits... These were like the ones your grandma might make! They had a thick gravy and the grits and shrimp were cooked to perfection with sauteed bell peppers and onions 🤤. Oh and there were crunchy pork belly chunks in it too! 🥹 We also got the sonic boom shrimp and good lawd these bad boys were soooo delicious. They were drenched in their "special sauce" and man was it special! I also had a Bahama mama drink that tasted just like a North Myrtle Beach sunrise on a cool morning. 😄 All in all, if you've never been you have to go and check this place out. We slept on it for so long, but I'm so glad we finally got to give it a spin. If you want some good down south home cooking, this is exactly the place to be with a great atmosphere and great folks who really love their jobs. Thank you guys so much for making our evening special!
