Flapjacks Pancake Cabin, 2851 US-17 Business, Murrells Inlet: 30 November2024 1 comment
When I mentioned that Old Chicago in this plaza had closed, I neglected to say that the across-the-parking-lot neighbor, Flapjacks Pancake Cabin had also closed. You will remember that this location was a former Western Steer which then became a strip-club. At the time there was speculation that the (then) new Wal-Mart was pressuring the city to de-zone the club to make the area a bit more family friendly, and it appears that Flapjacks didn't exactly leave under their own steam either. This Facebook is all rumors, but it appears that the plaza owners have non-restaurant plans for that wing of the property.
In the event, Flapjacks was there for about ten years. Here is the Sun News on the place moving in. (Notice that the original plan for the Old Chicago spot was a Quaker Steak & Lube, which never happened).
The chain still exists, and now appears to be restricted to Tennesse. For now, you can still see their Garden City page here.
That does beg the question on the location. Google & the street address say this is Murrells Inlet, but to me it is pretty clearly Garden City.
UPDATE 7 October 2025: Found a picture of the lighted sign and added it up top.
