Clark’s Seafood & Chop House
Offering steaks and seafood, enjoy your evening out watching the sunset over Coquina Harbor at Clark’s Seafood & Chop House. This by far is one of our favorite places to dine in the NMB area. It is just a few minutes north of NMB in Little River. Look for the big sign on the right after you go across the big bridge. If you get to McDonalds, you have gone too far. Turn around and go back. It is worth it!
We love the filet and ribeye steaks at Clark’s. Their house salad is always good. If you like scallops, you should try them bacon wrapped. Its one of their signature appetizers.
Clark’s would definitely be on our list of fine dining establishments in the Grand Strand. When you come to the beach and want something special, try Clark’s Seafood & Chop House.

A huge draw to Snooky’s is the second floor deck bar. You may find the bar service upstairs closed during the offseason. It gets rather chilly up on the second level. You can certainly go and check it out. They have inside seating and close the first level off from the wind during the wintertime. If you are here in the Spring and Summer, expect it to be hopping. With the views and incredible food, Snooky’s has quickly become one of the top spots in Cherry Grove.
