How to Eat in Myrtle Beach and Avoid Chain Restaurants
Confession time: How many times on vacation do you settle for food that you could have had at home?
It happens. You get busy, you’re tired after a long day of fun, and that familiar chain is a safe bet. There’s nothing wrong with familiarity. But you’re missing out if you don’t expand your horizons when you eat in Myrtle Beach.
Here are a few on the Grand Strand you’ll love, and want to write glowing reviews for afterward!
Tips for Giving a Restaurant an Online Review
- Give Them a Chance
If your food is cold and your drink is flat, bring it up to your server before you rip the eatery apart with words. Restaurants usually want to make it right.
- Be Creative and Positive
Compliment the flavors and complexity. State that food you don’t like is too “insert variable” for your taste.
- Proofread and Edit
Even the pros could use an edit — check through it twice (or three times!) for errors and clarity. An error-filled review loses credibility.
Restaurants That Bring Much Variety to Myrtle Beach
1. Carolina Roadhouse
It’s always a flurry of fun in this laid-back lodge with a wraparound bar and great menu. The service is splendid too, which is great, considering it’s quite the hot spot. For a quick bite of American fare or a relaxing dinner, you can’t go wrong at Carolina Roadhouse.
Recommendations
- Creamed Spinach Nacho: The topping is homemade.
- Oven Roasted Salmon: With rosemary and thyme seasonings.

2. Angus Steakhouse and Seafood
This is a kitschy, cattle-rustin’, cowboy/cowgirl-themed place and they make no apologies. They prepare dishes to perfection, and the waitstaff is friendly and knowledgeable. You might wind up here more than once on your trip.
Recommendations
- Potato Skins: Crispy, topped with aged cheese and smoky bacon.
- Prime Rib: 12- or 16-ounce, it’s the house favorite, perfectly seasoned.
- Mahi-Mahi: 8 ounces, thick-cut filet, blackened or fried.
