That, combined with two separate buffets and individual dining rooms that are able to easily accommodate large groups, and it’s easy to see why this is a local family favorite for the past 41 years. From steaks to chicken, pasta to pizza, and cheesecake to pie, Angelo’s has a menu packed to the brim with delicious dinner options for the whole family.

Serving up classic southern comfort dishes, the Rustic Table in Pawleys Island is another family-friendly local favorite. Just one look at their menu—which includes fun twists on classics, like the pulled pork nachos, and local delicacies, such as the Pawleys Omelet (a delicious omelet stuffed with bell peppers, white cheddar, ham, and roasted potatoes) or the Grayman Burger (consisting of two smashed patties, house pickles, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheddar, and house mayo with fries and slaw on the side)—and you’ll see why the Rustic Table was nominated as one of the Best of the Grand Strand.
