Holden Beach
It’s hard to miss this bright blue restaurant overlooking the Holden Beach Bridge and the Intracoastal Waterway. As customers gaze at summer sunsets over the dock, the savory aromas of local favorites — like the mac-and-cheese burger, seafood potpie, and chicken and waffles — float in the air. Co-owner Tommy Economos vacationed in Holden Beach all his adult life and returned for the beauty and good company, both of which are found at his restaurant.
