Well here's an interesting case: The Island Bar & Grill<\/i> closed while I was avoiding it, and a new place opened, and closed all before I noticed it due to staying away...<\/p>\n

This corner slot in Village Shops<\/a> has been a number of places over the years. One I recall specifically is Villa Katrina<\/i>, a Mexican eatery which, I believe, still has a location in Myrtle Beach. Anyway, the Island Bar & Grill<\/i> had been there a number of years, and was an OK local option for the most part with decent burgers and other bar food, and a nice deck when the weather wasn't sweltering. That gradually started to change in recent years, leading to a number of sub-par dining experiences to the point the the place finally got taken off the list when I went there with my college room-mate & his wife and they lacked half the ingredients for her order without ever mentioning that fact until plopping it, basically inedible, on the table in front of her. After a previous visit with esentially no service, that was the final straw. You can see similar experiences in the Google reviews.<\/p>\n

Anyway, while I was avoiding it like the plague, the place apparently closed around Spring of 2025 (Hey Google! -- You obviously know the exact date for every review, what's with this \"A Year Ago\" stuff?), and re-opened as Pawleys Back Deck<\/i>, something I did not know until I wondered about the lack of cars in the parking lot and went to take a look. The reviews for that operation are somewhat better, but they seem to have left business in an involuntary fashion at the end of March.<\/p>\n

By the way, if you are looking at the plaza sign, Tuscany Bistro<\/i> closed at least a year ago if not more and was replaced with a Fish Camp<\/i>.<\/p>\n
