I often get questions about where to eat when traveling to Myrtle Beach, so I thought I would put together some of my favorite restaurants from Pawleys Island, SC to Little River, SC.

From here on, I am going to make a list and briefly explain why I like the places! Let’s  start out with our favorite places in Myrtle Beach:

Myrtle Beach:

• Flamingo Grill– You have to get the lobster bites and shrimp and grits, IMO best on the Grand Strand.  They also have great Prime Rib and their house salad dressing is my all-time favorite!
• Angelos– The BEST Ribeye IN the WORLD, make sure you order the one on the sizzling plate, be sure to get a side of Alfredo.
• RipTydz– It is newer here on the Grand Strand, but I LOVE a low country boil AND THEY HAVE ONE that is small enough for me or large enough for Shawn and me to split.  Plus the view is INCREDIBLE and the drinks are always cold.  I love acoustic music and normally there is an acoustic musician playing and a DJ on the top floor! One of our new favorite places.
• Aspen Grill– The 10 layer chocolate cake is DIVINE…need I say more?!
• Woodhaven– Y’all, seriously the BEST waffles and breakfast in the world, IMO! their omelets are pretty good too)
• Dagwoods– Great place to hang out and watch games, perfect for lunch, I LOVE their sandwiches, Tommy Texas Cheese Fries, and their BBQ chicken wings are THE BEST!
• Mr. Sub– IMO a staple place in Myrtle Beach for a sub! AND it’s right near the beach.
• Soho– A fun and pretty cool place for happy hour, date night, or after-dinner drinks.  It looks like it belongs in Charleston or NYC and the food is really good! A few weeks ago we went there for happy hour and got amazing sushi and would you believe me if I told you the BEST Chicken Nachos?! We also love going here before CCMF!
• Hook & Barrel-The restaurant is probably one of my FAVORITE decor/architecture wise. It is SO beautiful and the layout is incredible.  Shawn and I always sit at the bar and love the Shrimp Scampi Appetizers that are sizzled in front of you, for dinner we will share the Myrtle Beach Paella, which is clam, shrimp, scallops, crab, chicken, andouille, tomato, and vegetable broth, served over a Carolina gold rice medley, and for dessert, YOU HAVE TO GET THE CHOCOLATE CHIP SKILLET COOKIE!
• Crave– Another restaurant where I LOVE the atmosphere and the food is so good!  I always get the Mozzarella Caprese, and for dinner, I love the Tuscan Filet Bites or Pasta Scarpariello-if you like spicy it’s a must!

Pawleys Island:

• Rustic Table– Cute restaurant, I love the Kirby Goes Bananas for Brunch, The Comfy for Lunch, and the Meatloaf for dinner.  Their drinks are sooooo good and refreshing too!
• Bistro 217– (Where Shawn took me to meet his parents) For lunch I love the Oysters on the Half Shell or Fried Shrimp Caprese Salad, ooo the Turkey Club Croissant is good too! For dinner, Tomato Crab Jalapeno Soup (or the French Onion), normally I get whatever their special is but if I am not crazy about that, the Local Flounder is always my go-to and the Mixed Berry Cobbler for dessert!
• Franks– Beautiful, romantic restaurant and perfect for date night, special occasions, or an anniversary! We try to go here at least once a week! You can absolutely not go wrong with ANYTHING on their menu but I especially love the Crab Cakes with Braised Collards and Pimento Cheese Grits, ahh, my mouth is watering!!!
• Hog Heaven BBQ– Definitely not fancy, they have a menu and a buffet, but you CANNOT beat their Fried Chicken and BBQ! Oooo, and the Mac and Cheese and Collards, oh yeah, and their Banana Pudding! SOOOO GOOD!
• Pawleys Island Tavern– Good little local place that is great for salads, sandwiches, burgers, and beverages! Their Crabcake Plate and BBQ Plates are really good and I love there Cajun Popcorn
• Hachiya– Formerly Miyabis (owners split), still the same people, still the same food, and still our favorite restaurant! The Filet, Chicken, and Shrimp special is BOMB DOT COM yall!
• The Local – A variety options for all diets, picky eaters, etc that are all delicious! They have an amazing Brunch menu!
• Moe’s BBQ– the BEST sides I have EVER had- and their BBQ is pretty darn good!
  

  Surfside/Murrells Inlet

• Big Apple Bagel– Mmmhm, best bagels in Myrtle Beach-and yes, we have tried about all bagel restaurants here!
• Wicked Tuna/Tuna Shak- Beautiful atmosphere and the crab cakes, mmmhm! Honestly, anything from Wicked Tuna is delicious including their Sushi and Ribeye!
• Wahoos- Shawn and I’s favorite restaurant/hang out place, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings/nights! Their specials are normally amazing-especially anything with Risotto and their Sushi is OUR favorite!
• Drunken Jacks (My dad’s favorite)- I am not a huge fan, most of the seafood is fried and I am not a big fried seafood fan, but everyone in my family LOVES it and the view is BEAUTIFUL.
• Gulf Stream Cafe- (Where Shawn stood me up for our first date/brunch, lol) Best Sunday Brunch in South Carolina and the Bloody Mary’s are SO GOOD.
• Mojo’s – This is where we had Bo’s 4th birthday party and everyone loved the food! They just updated their menu with a range of options. Kid friendly with their pirate ship playground and great views.
  

  North Myrtle Beach/Little River:

• Crab Catchers– A little dive bar/restaurant on the water WITH THE BEST FRIED GROUPER SANDWICH IN THE ENTIRE WORLD! Seriously, I AM NOT KIDDING! OOOO, and ask for a side of cheese to dip it in!!
• Little River Deli– If you’re looking for a good sandwich, I love Little River Deli.  They always have the freshest bread!
• Biminis– Our favorite “local place” for seafood.  Their fried seafood is TO DIE FOR as well as their steam pot/shrimp!
• Kings Pizza– Their pizza is good, BUT THEIR TOASTED SANDWICHES and meatballs are amazing! The house dressing they put on the sandwiches (or for salads-I love the greek salad) is delicious!
• Clarks– Kind of reminds me of Carolina Roadhouse or California Dreaming, but IMO it is much better.  They still have the sticky yummy croissants but I LOVE their French Onion Soup, House Salads, Green Tomatoes, and the Hurricane Chicken is my FAVORITE dinner entree! The crab cake on the chicken is DELICIOUS!
• Mission BBQ– It is a chain BBQ restaurant but it is my favorite BBQ restaurant!  Their sides and sauces are AMAZING and the banana pudding is SO GOOD!!! Bo loves it too!

Georgetown

• RiverRoom- Such a cool restaurant and it is on the riverfront Main Street in Georgetown.  I love their chicken dishes and Shawn loves their seafood.
• Rollin’ Local- Their sushi is delicious, their hibachi is so good, and their apps are THE BEST!  They have a full bar as well and the restaurant is so pretty!
• Ball and Que- One of my favorite mom and pop restaurants that has the BEST Fried Chicken Club!  They also have daily specials that if you can get-DO IT!

Conway

• Pickled Cucumber– (I just HAVE to throw this one in there because it is my FAVORITE place to eat in the world.  It used to be in Surfside but caught fire last year so they reopened in Conway, SC.)  It is a meat and 1/2/3 place (they have a regular menu too) BUT DO NOT SKIP ON THE CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS, CHICKEN BOG, MAC AND CHEESE, COLLARDS, OR THE STEWED CABBAGE. SOOOO good y’all!
• Rivertown Bistro– I love Rivertown’s atmosphere.  Sadly, If I am going to Conway for lunch tho, I am going to Pickled Cucumber, BUT, their lunch is equally as good, just a different style.  I LOVE the cozy, yet classy atmosphere for dinner with friends, date night, or just going into the bar for a bite.  I recommend the Low Country Spring Rolls or the Hot Crab Dip for an appetizer and I also love the Fried Goat Cheese Salad. For dinner, whatever their special is, I recommend (it is never bad)!  If you aren’t feeling the special tho, they have great sushi or the Sesame Seared Tuna is fantastic!  You can’t go wrong with their Filet dinner either, their bacon pimento cheese twice baked potato = LOVE!

BEST DONUTS = KRISPY KREME DUH!
