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“

“Favorite restaurant for seafood“

“Had the VIP Tour and Tasting this afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Our guide (Kevin, one of the owners) was very gracious informative and entertaining. Our flights were tasty and the included cocktails were a big hit as well! Always a worthwhile afternoon!“

“If you’re looking for fresh, homemade Mediterranean food, look no further than Jilla’s Gourmet Kitchen! We have been ordering from Jilla’s for years, and it is hands-down the best Mediterranean food in our area. Every meal is made with incredible care, high-quality ingredients, and flavors that keep us coming back again and again. One of the things we love most is the consistency. Whether we dine in or order takeout, the food is always just as fresh, delicious, and perfectly prepared. That’s a rare thing to find! Beyond the amazing food, the people make this place truly special. Gea is one of the sweetest, kindest owners you’ll ever meet, and Ursula and the entire staff always make you feel welcomed and appreciated. Their passion for great food and exceptional service shines through in everything they do. Jilla’s isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a local gem. We couldn’t recommend it more highly and are so grateful to have such an incredible place right here in our community! ❤️🥗🍲🥙“

“This place has the BEST tacos! Highly recommended!“

“I absolutely highly recommend Shaka-Laka, not just for the DELICIOUS PERFECT treat but for the AMAZING owners, Brooke and Aaron, WONDERFUL, KIND and FANTASTIC. I go to the one in Ocean Isle Beach.“

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

“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.“

“Ate there today! Steak hoagie was phenomenal and our server Bora was very efficient, friendly, as well as attentive! She is a good representation of your great restaurant 💚“

“We eat breakfast here every time we come to the beach. The staff is always so friendly and the food is delish! I was just coming to their page to make sure they were open tomorrow 😂 then it asked me if I’d recommended The Purple Onion. 10 out of 10 recommended!! I can’t recall ever having a bad experience here. And if I did, it’d be okay because we all have bad days every now and then.“

“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!“

“Gravy is a nice country restaurant where you get great home cooked food for a cheap price. I recommend their Seafood Trio that comes with fried fish, fried shrimp, fried scallops, hush puppies, and two sides. Make sure you get it with their homemade cocktail and tartar sauces!“

“Seth was our waiter, he was very attentive knowledgeableH kept our glasses full and checked up with our needs. This was an enjoyable experience. The food was great.“

“great homemade tacos was my choice for dinner. Ingrid was my server, listened to my questions about the menu,and gave me a great recommendation on the Pollo tacos.. all the while being a very pleasant person. ☺️ I'm sure I will go back again.“

“The food was all excellent.“

“Cool little old school burger joint in Ocean Isle Beach. Burger was decent. Would have been better with a little more seasoning and a toasted bun. Best thing was you could get a side of fried okra! That was yummy. Sweet tea was also good but not too sweet. Friendly staff and I would return. They do offer outside seating and a walk up window in front.“

“Food was excellent and what hard workers at this place. So glad we found Duck Dive Bar. We will definitely be back when we visit the area again.“

“Ashley the bartender was wonderful and very kind . She makes the best sugar cookie martini!!!! ❤️ I loved the food as well, it came out very quickly. We will come back soon!“

“First time there. Lunch special (flounder and deviled crab) and it was great. Also great lunch price. I’ll be back. Everything was tasty! 👍“

“The scallops are fresh and melt in your mouth. Staff very friendly. Love dining on waterfront. Will recommend and be back as many times as possible. Excellent, fresh food!“

“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!“

“Nice clubhouse and great people there. Highly recommended“

“A great little bar frequented by locals and tourists. The atmosphere is friendly and friendships are quickly built. The sevice is great and the bartenders are efficient and very welcoming. The chicken wings and large pretzels are the absolute best. Come visit the Pilot House and learn all about the historic relevance of the building itself. A great historical story.“

“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 food, great staff!!“

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

“Omg!!! Best freakin steak ever! And when you go make sure George is your server! He was amazing! 10/10!“

“Food is great, service is great.“

“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!“

“This place is fantastic we had the Sunday lunch buffet and service and food was amazing. My wife said the fish was perfectly cooked.“

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

“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.“

“A very pleasant surprise! We thought it was just a little sports bar and walked into a hidden gem! The food was great, the service was great!! Great spot for a nice dinner date!“

“Phenomenal Pizza! In my opinion the best local pizza from calabash to Holden beach. We got two specials, pepperoni and cheese, and the order came out super quick and super fresh. Thin crispy crust, the perfect amount of sauce/cheese ratio(I like more cheese to sauce), and not too greasy!“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“We stopped in for a snack in the afternoon. It was our first time to visit our server whose name was Steven was awesome. Told us all about the eatery and the tap room next door he was enthusiastic and checked on us several times we will go back“

“We love inlet view! The best spot to come for traditional, good seafood cookin’ with an amazing view and atmosphere. Sam, the owner, is so accommodating and caring about everyone who comes in the doors. We came tonight and our server Emily was so sweet and on top of everything. It’s a must visit!“

“We had the best experience at Maria’s! Our waiter James was the best! He made our kiddos feel seen and went above and beyond. Thanks for my Diet Coke 🤣🫣 truly a great experience and we can’t wait to be back!“

“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.“

“Great pizzas and slections. Wife and I get different types and the small is perfect for a littke left overs. Delivery is quick and effortless. Everything we've ordered has been excellent. We live just about a mike away and food is always still very heated. Recommend Christopher's, service/food top notch.“

“Love Sharky’s Waterfront Bar & Grill!“

“It is a nice place the staff is friendly. My only complaint is what I ate. They pass off a cheap fish for an expensive fish thinking people are stupid. I ordered the Grouper pinkante. What came out was Talapia. Grouper is a thick white meat fish what came out were two flat filets which where Talapia. It was good but the only reason I did not say anything was because of my wife asking me not to. If I ever go back and they try this again there will be a show for the restaurant to see.“

“To me, this is the best spot in Calabash to get breakfast. It's absolutely my favorite! The owner and her staff are always amazing very attentive and super friendly. I've never gotten a bad vibe in there. My favorite dish is the shrimp and grits with a side order of smoked sausage, my husband loves the omelette and my son loves the Belgium waffles. I would love to give this establishment more than five stars. We will always continue to go here!“
