Pages okra grill famous shrimp and grits9/13/2023 The meals arrived and we began to enjoy our food. After eating the bread, mom heads off to the bathroom and on her way back, bumps in to a very frustrated Andy, who explains that our dishes were plated incorrectly, but the meal was being replated and would soon be out. I explain that she is diabetic and the assistant manager offers a biscuit or cornbread with honey for mom while we wait. Mom even stops an assistant manager and asks what's taking so long. After a while, we start to wonder what is going on since it seems to be taking forever for our food to arrive. She requested that our oyster stew be plated separately from the rice as she is used to oyster stew being made with a lot of liquid. She had been wanting oyster stew the whole week long trip and this was the first place we saw it on the menu. Yay! Everyone was happy! You have to know though, that Mom was thrilled. Darn, my mom and I were both looking at ordering the oyster stew with grilled shrimp over pimento cheese grits topped with bacon! Andy and Mom talked it out and it was decided that the dish could be prepared with rice instead of cheese grits. Our waiter, Andy (as my mother called him) came back to take our order, but was stopped by a manager and told that there were no cheese grits left. Upon being seated our drink orders were taken and we were given time to peruse the menu. We were seated inside (We were told the wait was for outside and/or inside and would probably be outside within the time frame given.), which was a plus for us. When we arrived, the restaurant was busy, however we were told that the wait would only be 20 to 30 minutes. We always trust recommendations made by locals and this one did not fail. Page's Okra Grill was recommended by an employee at Boone Hall Farms Market. But like I said I am willing to give it another try next time.My mother and I visited on December 30th as we were traveling home from Myrtle Beach. I have been a server for many years and understand she was probably very busy, but that's not excuse. She never returned back to the table to see if everything was alright. Dessert looked great too, but I didn't want to be so full I couldn't move. I would like to try something else off their menu. I am willing to try it again when we are back down in that area. We have had way better Shrimp and grits at any of these places back in Murrells Inlet. We live in Murrells Inlet, SC and have some amazing seafood restaurants here to choose from. Maybe it sat too long before they brought it out to us. It was lukewarm, fried grit cakes were mushy on the outside, and gravy is not good unless its very hot not boarderline cold. Unfortunately, they did not live up to that. All three of us ordered the shrimp and grits after reading they were number one in southern living magazine. He said it was good and actually ate it, which he hardly ever eats anything. My youngest son ordered the chicken fingers and house salad. Pimento cheese was amazing! My oldest son ordered the fried flounder which was fresh and battered lightly. We tried the sampler appetizer with pimento cheese, bean and corn salsa and fried green tomatoes. We only waited 25 minutes for a table outside, which was not bad considering they were very busy and prime lunch time. My mom, two sons and fiancee ate here on Saturday before heading to Boone Hall Plantation for the day.
