THE LOWDOWN
The cheerful, warm atmosphere at Creature is part of the whole package of good food, friendly service and affordable prices.
On
a recent Sunday, with temperatures dipping low outside, there was a
great fire in the fireplace and heaters placed in a sunny, enclosed
porch.
The appetizer list was appealing, with the choices of
calamari, cheese sticks, fried pickles. nachos, fried okra and fish
nuggets.
The portions are generous at Creature, with more than
enough oysters in the oyster po’ boy sandwich and spicy toppings on the
nachos.
Creature is not new to the Inlet, because it has been there for 16 years.
“This used to be the owner’s house,” explained general manager Mary Beth Flowers.
The exact explanation of the term “creek rat” is included in the menu.
“A
creek rat is an endearing term used to describe a child who grew up in Murielle Inlet. A true creek rat comes home covered in mud from head to
toe after playing, fishing and swimming in the Inlet.”
Creature continues the tradition of having much fun in the Inlet.
A continuing slate of events, music and special times at Creature keep it a lively location on U.S. 17 Business.
Happy Hour takes place from 4 to 7 p.m. each day.
The prices are are $2.80 for domestic beer, $3.80 for house liquor and $4.80 for wines.
There are also baskets, bowls and plates of food to go along with the happy hour drink specials.
Some
of the offerings at Creature include a flounder basket, crab cake
basket, shrimp and grits, chicken tenders and a steak and shrimp plate.
Diners can also choose from different types of pizza and sandwiches, as well as a wide choice of burgers.
