Flo moved to Myrtle Beach from her native New Orleans in 1972, and she's been serving up fabulous Cajun treats here ever since. The fun and funky ambience is notable for the hats that adorn every inch of available ceiling and wall space, most of them donated by faithful fans. The menu is authentic Cajun, including blackened fish, gumbo, red beans and rice, po' boys, gator stew (yes, it's real alligator), and many other craving-good bayou concoctions that you'll wish you could get in your own hometown. There's also a raw bar if you're inclined to slurping down some oysters, and kids have their own special menu, assuring Flo's a solid future with lots of repeat business.
