Love is in the air: Best bets for a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner near Pawleys Island
Valentine’s Day is dedicated to expressing love and affection for significant others. And what better way to make the day special than by sharing a romantic meal with your loved one.
Fortunately, there are several restaurants in the Pawleys Island area that offer a romantic setting – and a great meal, too. When offered, reservations are suggested. Here are our best bets for a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner:
bisQit
Known for its Southern comfort cuisine, bisQit offers signature appetizers and sandwiches, creative cocktails, and more, all in a cozy café with a covered patio. It’s a perfect choice for a not-so-dressy Valentine’s Day outing.
For something out of the ordinary, try the cauliflower wings tossed in a variety of sauces like Buffalo, Red Chili, Garlic Parmesan, or Nashville Hot. Or share some Nashville Hot Chicken Tacos with Nashville Hot Sauce and feta cheese. Or try one of bisQit’s signature sandwiches named for communities near Pawleys Island: Hagley, Waverly, Waccamaw and Litchfield.
And you can make Valentine’s really sweet by indulging in one of bisQit’s signature milkshakes – they come regular or spiked!

Known as PIT by locals and longtime visitors, Pawleys Island Tavern offers inside or outside dining in a “classically shabby” atmosphere.

Also try the pizza or any of the seafood baskets – shrimp, oyster, sea scallop, grouper, flounder, or a combination. They are each served with coleslaw and a choice of side.
