Frank’s Outback has 45 seats inside the building and interestingly, the patrons get to walk through the open kitchen to enter the dining room. Once inside, you sense a warm welcoming atmosphere. The walls are painted in a cool blue with original artwork on the walls. White tablecloths, candle light, hand polished silverware and glassware grace the tables. There are also 100 seats outside, set in a garden setting under a canopy of trees. The outdoor seats are covered and not affected by weather. In the Fall and Winter guests are warmed by infrared heaters and the large outdoor fireplace.

    It was New Years Eve so it was a very lively party atmosphere. Fun New Years items were provided at the table and live music when you entered the restaurant. Service and food were exceptional as usual.

    I’ve been coming to Franks for 30years and it has always been my favorite restaurant in Pawleys. Unfortunately, I’ve been disappointed the last 2 times with the service. I think it’s gotten so big that the staff can’t keep up with how many tables they have to take care of. Our service tonight was terrible and we were there for 3 hours!! Every time we needed something our waiter was no where to be found. We will be back again in the spring and I think we need to look for other places to eat. I’m very sad.

    The next time will request just Outback not the way out back. The restaurant did look so nice for the holiday and the staff are always wonderful and attentive. We were there for a birthday and we’re not disappointed with the presentation of a birthday dessert.
