“My wife and I stopped in while riding North from Surfside trying our hardest to escape a rain storm. We were welcomed like family and spent aprox. 2hrs chatting and drinking with the regulars. Took hiding from a storm and turned it into the best experience possible. Note... You must be a member to use a VFW but all active military are considered members you just have to show your ID.”

“As an Arizona transplant from a great post, post 61 in Avondale to Myrtle Beach, I was looking for the same as what I had at post 61. Inviting, friendly, a reason to come back. My initial transfer was to post 178 in Murrells inlet, as I understood it to be a 4.5 rated post. The barmaid took my transfer paper and gave it to the commander who was having dinner at the bar about 15 feet away. I wished not to interrupt his dinner, so I stayed put. The barmaid pointed me out as a new transfer, after he finished his dinner, he left. Never bothered to say welcome here. They were nice enough members, but never felt comfortable beyond the person sitting next to me. After about a dozen visits to post 178, I still felt like an outsider. I then heard about Post 186, after a few hours at post 186, I transferred!! This is the place I have been searching for!! The very first day I met numerous members who then introduced me to more members. The members, the food, the Entertaiment, are all above other post that I have either been to or belonged to. This post fulfills every want that I had. I have been back to post 186 at least 1/2 dozens in the last week and a half, and each time it's better than the last.To the members I have met and their spouses, thank you for making me feel at home!”

“Helpful, informative, welcoming place for new arrivals to visit. A lot of resources & local area info is available to start finding my way around in Little River SC. Easy find right on Highway 90 midway between SC-9 & HWY. 17.”

“The staff are super friendly and more than helpful. This is a great place to kill some time and find useful stuff for doing work around the house or decorating for cheap!! They also have different discounts on different days, right now Wednesdays are Senior Appreciation Day.”

“We got our beautiful sweet dog here. If you can, donate. The fact that anyone would leave anything but five stars is really upsetting. This is not an organization that has a limitless budget. They are genuinely just trying to keep little fur babies from getting put down, if you adopt your dog and it turns out the dog has some fleas or something else going on you can go ahead and fix those problems and be the miracle to that dog or cat. Shame on anyone complaining about the people who work here or how they care for the animals. They are doing the best that they can with very little funding and if you have any spare dog food or blankets, please bring them by they could be put to good use.”
