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!!“

“Favorite restaurant for seafood“

“10/10 recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Calabash area!! Super great service and the food quality was amazing. Our favorite restaurant we’ve been to in Calabash. Our waitress was Aliyah and she was the BEST waitress we have ever had. Super personable and quick and made our experience even better!!“

“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.“

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

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

“Blown away by how good the food was. Shrimp and scallop plate was probably the best fried plate I've ever had. Potato salad was delicious and quintessentially southern. The Cole slaw was "perfect". The hush puppies were not my style but still good and not greasy. The tarter and cocktail sauce is made in house and
outstanding. Overall, a wonderful find. Highly recommend.“

“Best bowls ever!! 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷“

“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!“

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

“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 !! ❤️❤️“

“Oh! My! Goodness! Absolutely delicious food!! I had shrimp tacos and onion rings and they were THE best I have ever had (I am a bit of an onion ring connoisseur) 🙌 I highly recommend Waterfront Seafood Shack ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“Went to Clark’s tonight for dinner. We Had calamari, house salads and beef short ribs with Parmesan risotto and a Demi glaze sauce. Those short ribs were absolutely delicious. We also shared a bottle of wine. Great atmosphere, food and service. We had tibi as a server and he was great!“

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

“Have eaten here several times over the past few years. Consistently one of the finest seafood restaurants we’ve ever visited. While the atmosphere isn’t exceptional, it’s good for a seafood restaurant. Of all the Calabash restaurants, this is our favorite. We ordered drinks as soon as seated and then food. ALL was delivered inside of 10 minutes - probably 5 minutes. We had fried shrimp and clam strips. Breading, temperature, and presentation was excellent. Delicious! Hush puppies with honey butter was our dessert! Senior menu option and very reasonable prices. I highly recommend this place if you’re trying to decide which of the dozen restaurants to dine at in Calabash.

Parking: Large lot beside the restaurant and even larger lot directly across from the restaurant at Callahan’s if needed.“

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

“Found this place 4 yrs ago and we now stop in every time we vacation at OIB (3-4x/ yr). Staff is super friendly and food is great. My go-to is the mushroom swiss burger and tater tots. Other family members like the dressed up hot dogs. Background music is great for beach and relaxed atmosphere.“

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

“We just left there after having dinner. We had the Prime Rib and it was superb! Awesome server Leanne….. She is the absolute best!!!! Great experience and would highly recommend eating here.“

“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!“

“Great food, great staff!!“

“We just moved to Calabash from a town up north where a great pizza was impossible to find. Bella's was the first pizza we had here and OMG, DELICIOUS. Their Supreme pizza checked all our boxes. The crust is light and crispy, not soggy. The toppings are generous but not overly so and always cooked to perfection. The sauce is well seasoned and not overly thick or too tomato-y. Bella's Pizza quickly became our go-to, #1 choice for pizza after our first pie. The staff are always friendly and attentive and although we dined-in the first time, we prefer take out because the dining area isn't the greatest. But for us, it's about the pizza so carry out is just fine!!! Can't recommend highly enough.“

“Nice clubhouse and great people there. Highly recommended“

“Vacationing and stopped here while shopping, as it’s next to Publix grocery and wowzers! It’s great. The she-crab soup was creamy and well-seasoned, the buffalo chicken salad had that Goldilocks amount of zing: spicy, but sweet and not overpowering the rest of the salad. The chicken salad was delicious and really chicken salad on salad greens. And our waiter, Andrew, was a delight. Highly recommend.“

“Absolutely love the breakfast buffet. Everything was great. We now come on every vacation!!“

“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.“

“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 clubhouse and great people there. Highly recommended“

“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...“

“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!!!!“

“Pizza, Salad, Pepperoni Rolls & Service.... Everything was absolutely Excellent 🙂“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Love this place. Friendly staff and GREAT food.“

“Pizza was good, service was quick and friendly“

“We found this place on accident because our usual seafood spot was closed. It's on the side of the road. A quiet little nook. This fish and shrimp here was so good! If you were to eat outside, they have a sink she you can wash your hands when you are done. I just think that is so conveinent. All they need to do is add some honey and brown sugar to the hush puppies, and they would be spot on! We definitely will be back!“

“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!“

“Had an awesome experience there today visiting for the first time.. The waitress Christy was amazing, patient, always stopping by checking on us.. The environment was very nice, rustic feel, booths made us feel like royalty.. The food was very good, didn’t take long to come out.. the fish, oysters, and shrimp were all cooked and seasoned perfectly and tasted like they were caught this morning.. I highly recommend to anyone in the shallote or ocean isle are, as it was recommended to us and we were not let down at all..“

“We had dinner here twice this week. Really good happy hour food and drink specials, I just wish they didn’t end it at 530. Thought that was a little odd. We had grouper bits and buffalo shrimp. Then shared fried oysters and scallops. Everything was absolutely delicious. Our server/bartender was Matthew and he was awesome“

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

“l did a online order for a small all meat pizza. This was our first time eating from there. The food was ready when they said it would be! The pizza was good & will definitely eat from there again when I am back at OIB!“

“We had a very nice meal here tonight. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The food and drinks were great. Just an FYI, they charge $0.50 per container of cocktail and tartar sauce. I do not recall reading this on the menu, and I have never paid for an itemized condiment list on my bill EVER (and I am almost 50).“
