50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Sunset Beach

“Tonight was a very special night. And honestly, it doesn’t matter if it’s a special night or not. The owner of the restaurant always make sure that we’re satisfied with the quality of service and food. I was in the restaurant business before moving onto my career. For almost 15 years. It helped me get through school and pay for a lot. So I have understanding of European cuisine fusion and other types of Cuisines that typically people find appealing. This restaurant is phenomenal. The food is always on point. I’ve been dining here takeout and dine in for two years plus. If there’s ever a discrepancy with my order? The owner always makes things right. Phenomenal service, phenomenal food, and until the day I die, this restaurant will have my business. If you’re on vacation or you’re here playing golf? Hell, if you’re a person that just moved here and looking for a great spot to call home? I highly recommend this restaurant. If I was only allowed to give them five out of five stars? They would have a solid five stars and I’ll be looking for a way to create another star. They are that good. Thank you so much for quality food and excellent service. My family truly appreciates it on this very special occasion that you guys yet again did not let us down. Love Coffey“

“How they keep return customers, I don't know. We keep trying to have a good experience but have been disappointed almost every time. Parking lot looks like an area trash point, service is slow, food is mediocre (which is OK for a beach bar, if it is consistently good, warm and tasty). We need good restaurants in Sunset Beach, this one has a looong way to go. The food trucks in the park across the street offer a better dining experience, which is sad.“

“muy rica la comida y el ambiente y el buen servicio que dan las personas que trabajan ahí lo recomiendo a todas las personas para que vayan a comer“

“We loved everything about our tasting experience! Sam was extremely knowledgeable and answered every question we had. The tour is one room but they pack a lot into it! The speakeasy tasting at the end was perfect. We booked the last tasting, 5 PM, and booked it late. There were no other people on our tour so it was basically one on one with Sam. Would highly recommend if you’re visiting Myrtle Beach or if you’re local and haven’t tried this place yet!!“

“It is my go to place for authentic Peruvian/Mexican food ! Best empanadas and plantains! 🇲🇽🌮🇵🇪“

“Favorite restaurant for seafood“

“As the queen of finding something new every so often to hyperfixate on and obsess over, I must say these bowls are ITTTTT. I go every week. I literally can’t stop they are SO. GOOD. Compared to others in the area this is #1 in my book for quality and cost. ❤️“

“Best fried scallops anywhere! And I'm from New England.“

“I usually don't eat a lot of hotdogs, but since discovering Burg-Dog I find myself eating them at least once a week. Definitely would recommend this place. Clean, friendly, fast, and affordable. Don't change a thing, perfect as it is.“

“This place has great food, excellent service and great atmosphere. if your looking for a great place to eat, this is definately one to eat.“

“Beaches Burgers cheeseburger reminds me of Burgers from the 70s...delicious till the last bite. Add a side of beer battered onion rings and a Cheerwine soda to wash it all down! Yes! It's a Southern thing! Try it! See y'all there!“

“My wife & I ate breakfast there 5/10/24….I didn’t get the waitress’s name. Service was good. The food was delicious, my wife got blueberry French toast & I got a bacon,egg & provolone cheese croissant along with a side bowl of milk gravy both meals were delicious !! We would highly recommend !! Thank you Purple Onion for a great experience !! Yes, we even took home some baked goods !! Yummy !! May God bless y’all !! ❤️❤️“

“Great place! Friendly atmosphere and o love the fave they support our community!“

“We never miss coming here on our 5-6 visits to Little River/Myrtle Beach each year. The staff is welcoming, friendly, courteous and efficient. The restaurant is clean. The buffet is plentiful with a variety of southern specialties and the food is kept fresh by the attentive servers. Ordering off the menu is an alternative with daily specials for breakfast and lunch posted. We look forward to seeing the familiar faces each trip. Thanks. Evi and staff!“

“The food was good. Our waitress, a very young blonde lady, was not the most polite or patient but the young man who came to our table was very nice. My water glass had a crack in it sweater ran down my leg and into my shoe. My SECOND pwater glass also had a crack so water dropped into my lap.“

“Great family, friendly asian fusion cuisine best priced sushi at the beach and the staff is super friendly“

“Excellent place. Great food! Will def be back. I could not believe they had Bolacha de Maria cake. Wow!!“

“We stopped here after our dolphin watching cruise because it was close by and we were starving! Oh my goodness! I’m so glad we stopped. I had the BEST crab cake I have ever had. That’s saying a lot because I’m from Delaware and grew up on seafood. I’m very picky about crab cakes and don’t usually order them. But the description said Maryland style crab cakes so I took a chance. Best choice ever! They were amazing! My husband had the clam strips that was the special of the day and they were also amazing. So many he couldn’t eat them all. We shared a bowl of seafood bisque that was also delicious. Our waitress even split it into 2 bowls for us when we told her we were going to share. Food was served quickly and the staff was super friendly. I highly recommend stopping here!“

“Plenty of Fried Calabash Style Seafood to Go Around

I definitely need to learn more about the history of Calabash style seafood, because here just about everything comes fried (though there are plenty of nonfried options too). The décor is fun, the volume was perfect for a date night, and the energy in the room was shared. Everyone was having a great time.

Like most spots in the area, the meal started with hush puppies.. huge, golden, and delicious. The honey butter makes them special, and I liked that they came complimentary. The lemon pepper calamari was more complicated and confusing, it had a burnt like flavor at first, but after a few bites and plenty of lemon juice, it started to work. You just need to take some time to figure where the flavors are coming from. (You need to ask for lemons, they don’t come with it) Still, the oil pooling in the basket turned me off, and I wouldn’t order it again.

The “stuffed” flounder was tasty, though a bit misleading? It’s more of a fillet split down the middle with filling in between. I enjoyed the full shrimp and crab tucked inside, but the skin left under the fish made me pause for a second (maybe that’s normal?). On the sides, the coleslaw was sweet and refreshing vs a more vinegar approach, while my fries were disappointing lacking crispness, salt, and flavor. I’d go for the baked potato next time.

We also tried the Calabash shrimp and deviled crab combo plate. The shrimp missed the crunch and seasoning I was hoping for, but the deviled crab was unique. Not necessarily my favorite but it was somewhere between a crab pot pie and a sweet hush puppy flavor. Meanwhile, my 1 year old happily worked through her spaghetti, so at least it passed that test.

Overall, the atmosphere here had a good weekend energy and was overall enjoyable, but the food missed the mark in several places for me. Not sure I’d rush back. I’m going with four stars because I’m not the best fish food critic, but if you’re into fried fish you should try it out. It seems like a calabash staple and the staff was extremely nice/helpful.“

“I come to Myrtle beach yearly. We go on the dolphin sight seeing tour out of Little River. We stop at Matthews before the boat trip out every year. Great food at reasonable prices. Highly recommend!“

“Awesome food and amount for the money. Friendly staff. We loved it. Our type of dive bar.“

“Great food, great staff!!“

“Nice clubhouse and great people there. Highly recommended“

“One of the best Breakfast I had in a long time, the omelette was perfect and the Home fries were outstanding! The staff was very friendly and was not in a hurry to get you in and out. Loved it“

“Nice clubhouse and great people there. Highly recommended“

“I had my April 2024 wedding here and the experience is almost indescribable. I had this venue booked for more than a year, and as you can imagine, I had a lot of questions. I communicated with the manager, Marnie, more than 100 times via email and I ALWAYS received a quick response with my questions answered even with my events months down the line. The food and staff at this venue are amazing. My wedding went off without a hitch and all the compliments were on the food, friendly staff, and beautiful panoramic views of the beach. The food was great! We served the pecan chicken and a pasta station. The guests raved about the chicken and waffle slider appetizer as well. As soon as the dances were over and we sat at our sweetheart table we were immediately greeted with food from Marnie and a staff member. This goes to show their level of professionalism and attentiveness. The kids' food was also served first and that impressed parents. I was told this was the first wedding that occurred and they were thrilled. I only have wonderful things to say. You will not be let down with any event you host at the Isles. Thanks Marnie!! You guys are amazing. I need to find another event to throw just so I can come back!“

“Nice menu, been coming here since the original owners but...SO MANY SIGNS it takes away from the atmosphere and looks sloppy and overwhelming“

“Ate there Saturday night…freshest shrimp…simply delicious. Love the laid back atmosphere, eating outdoors with cool breezes. The perfect spot. Everyone in my group was pleased with their food, quick availability.“

“Friendly staff. Casual atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Amazing food. I had the fried chicken sandwich. It was delicious. I will definitely be returning.“

“This was our first time trying Amelia's while at Ocean Isle Beach and we were presently surprised. The Margaritas were really good! We ordered the the Greek dinner salad and the Petite Filet Steak Sandwich and they were both excellent. The waitress suggested we try the Hummingbird cake for dessert and that was so good, were glad we tried it. Amelia's is a local gem and we'll be back.“

“Food is great, service is great.“

“Staff is great Food is always great I highly recommend Chilli's!“

“If I could give a 10 rating 10 times I would! I ordered a 20-person package of bbq & chicken with slaw & potato salad. It was delicious & included iced tea, cups, paper plates, napkins, utensils, bbq sauce, hush puppies, & even salt & pepper…….plus ice. I couldn’t have asked for better food & service…….it was ready at pick-up time & rolled out on a cart with help to load into my car. I would definitely recommend this for a crowd & will definitely do this again!! Thank you, Smithfield’s in Shallotte!!!!“

“Good pizza but very rude cashier. She hates her job and acts as if we were bothering her. Watched her snatch a receipt out of old lady’s hand. Pushed into me to get to the tip jar and when I apologized she gave me a dirty look. Being rude to your customers does not give you more business!“

“Great local dive bar right across the street from the Inland Waterway in Little River. Small menu but people are there to meet with friends and have a drink in a fun environment...pool table in the back...great bartender service and in warm weather is open to the outside...always a stop when in the area...“

“Its on the beach. Huge deck. Breeze. Staff awesome and really more laid back locals place. Food is great.. its bar food but great. Outstanding breakfast..on the beach. They have a HLT sandwich with southern country ham. Ask for double ham..for few bucks more. Still under $10. Awesome. If you comfortable with a true Southern bar.. Pro America. Pro military. Patriotic. Not in your face.. we are Southern with manners ingrained. You will be around folks that are patriots.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly during day. Its a bar too...so after dinner hours I would say time take kids putt putt.“

“Pizza was good, service was quick and friendly“

“Almost want to give a bad review ...to keep this place to ourselves. But we LOVE it at Patio's TB&G. The wait staff is AWEsome, the food DELISH & reasonably priced, the cool breeze off the Intracoastal lovely under the large oak trees & the talented musicians playing our favorite tunes! Don't get ANY better than this place! But please stay away & leave us to our favorite spot!“

“Down from Michigan, we stopped at Old South today for dinner. Excellent ribs and sides. Have been smoking and roasting whole hogs up in Michigan for over 35 years. This place is top notch.“

“Our “go to pizza & comfort food place.” Recently remodeled and looks spectacular with new furniture and granite countertops, incredible amount of beer options, super friendly staff, and an owner, “Chris,” that cares about his customers.“

“We arrived early evening on a Tuesday and the place was absolutely slammed. We put her name in for a table and went upstairs for a Tiki drink or two. Drinks were excellent. After we were seated our server, Riley took out drink order and reappeared quickly with water and our drinks. I have the captain’s platter and chose shrimp and clams and Anne ordered the shrimp and grits. Riley had warned us that it’s a large portion, but who knows what that really can be. Well, the food arrived promptly and the shrimp and grits truly was an enormous portion. Enough for two. Was creamy, cheesy, slammed full of shrimp, andouille and mushrooms. My shrimp and clams were lightly breaded and fried to perfection. Frankly, as busy as it was, I was surprised with the speed of service and the quality of the food. Absolutely recommend this place!“

“Love this place. Always our first dinner out when we go to OIB!“

“We’ve eaten here year after year. Ate here tonight and it was as great as always. I had the grilled seafood platter and everything was perfect. Each fish tasted fresh and not dry. Has salmon, oyster Rockefeller, sea scallops, shrimp, a crab cake with green beans. Both filing and done right. Others in our group had lamb, duck, grouper, chicken and all enjoyed it. Definitely made with fresh ingredients every day. I also think anything less the a 10 rating is not appropriate.“

“We visit each year with our large family while vacationing at Ocean Isle Beach. This year, we thought we would change it up and go to the Boundary House where we were told they would not accommodate us in any fashion. Called Clark’s, no problem. The reservation was made, a text confirmation sent but unfortunately I didn’t pay close attention to it. When we arrived, I realized that our reservation had been made for the wrong date. The staff were quick to find a solution and honestly, I can’t speak if I told them the wrong date or they wrote it down wrong, doesn’t matter either way, I should have checked the text better. Anyway, after a few moments and a short patient wait, they were able to accommodate our party of 30 that they were not expecting and we never knew the difference. The service was excellent and the food amazing as always. Coming from someone who has worked in the food service industry, I know exactly how they felt and how our party could have acted. However through accommodation and patience, everything went well and we couldn’t be more thankful that it all worked out. 10/10 recommend for service and delicious food and drinks!“

“Everyone was cool. The help, the patrons, the dogs. Onion rings are worthy. Go here.“

“Needs a little updating but, the food makes up for it. Food was great and seafood was cooked the way I use to cook it in the restaurants I worked and managed. Suggestion, little more flour in your hush puppies to make it fluffier . Glad we stopped to eat here.“

“Drove 50 minutes to meet some friends to eat here for the first time. Was told it could be up to a 2 hr wait . The band was awesome and the wait was only an hour and 10 min. EVERY person we came in contact with was super friendly and hospitable! The hostess was not at all upset when we asked to move to a different table because we were right under an air duct. The food was great! The chips with the crab dip tasted stale and we probably should have sent them back but we didn’t want to mess up the good vibe. We enjoyed it and would def do the drive and wait again .“

“One of the best Breakfast I had in a long time, the omelette was perfect and the Home fries were outstanding! The staff was very friendly and was not in a hurry to get you in and out. Loved it“

“We have had issues finding places we like (a lot of the places around her have been bland). We came from an area where we were pretty spoiled with great restaurants and Wing & Fish has been the only place so far that is comparable. We have been here three times so far and they have been very consistent each time. The food is great, and the staff are friendly and attentive.“

“1/2 and 1/2...love their bar pie with a beer. Went today had chicken Florentine and the chicken was horrible, not even bad but horrible. Over cooked, dry and awful. Thought the waitress would refuse to serve but she did ..will never have dinner there again although I will return for beer and pizza but that is it.“
