Groupers At The Pier is not just a restaurant, but also an experience that is loved by locals and visitors alike.
It all began some 50 years ago at Apache Campground when we were little boys. Fall and Winter in Myrtle Beach would always be lonely and desolate. Our family had no other choice than to play with one another. This contributed to the closeness of our family.
Living at Apache allowed us to meet a ton of great people, and make many friends. During our teenage years, we ventured out to surrounding ponds, inlets, and of course the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. One of our fondest memories was when our Dad (Surroy Sr.) would put the 200 ft. gill fishing net in the ocean to catch fish. Back then, the Apache Pier had not been built yet! We would catch enough fish to feed the neighborhood, which was something our family loved to do.
Dad & Mom instilled in us at an early age that hard work always pays off. Mrs. Bea always had the family in the kitchen helping prepare meals. She instilled in us, a love for cooking and sharing with others, this encouraged us to open Grouper’s in the Winter of 2023. Grouper’s is founded on many of our family secret recipes.
We are honored to have you dine with us. We thank you and look forward to serving you for many years to come.
