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“

“Very friendly and thorough service. Straight spirits flights are offered, but I decided on a cocktail flight with selections featuring my personal preferences, and my husband did his own. Each mini-cocktail was beautifully crafted with a garnish. Every single one delicious.
Snacks are also offered to keep you out of trouble. I shared the pretzel bites and pepperoni flatbread. Fresh and good.
Great spot to visit.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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 !! ❤️❤️“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best Fish fry i have found around! Plentiful portions. Always enough to take a meal home. Collard wraps (when available) are worth the trip alone. Crab cake special Fridays. Again, some of the best we've had. Worth the trip. Great prices too!!!!!“

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

“I love Jilla’s I’ve been going there for many years and am never disappointed!“

“My mom and I ate here a few months ago and let me just say, I’m very particular about my burgers. THIS IS THE PLACE TO GET A BURGER! The tots were good, the experience all around was so good! I would definitely recommend this little spot to everyone!“

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

“Great food and drinks with waterfront dining“

“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 💚“

“Small seating area with the feel of family. Staff was awesome and they really cared about making you happy. Went to another restaurant that had a 40+ minute wait and found this place. It was a hidden gem. My son saw they had birria and said ya, were going there. It was my first time having it. I got the birria burger and it was awesome. Glad we found a new place to go to.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Nice clubhouse and great people there. Highly recommended“

“Great food, great staff!!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

“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!“

“The food was all excellent.“

“Went here late Saturday night, it’s great they’re open late. Got a personal cheese and personal buffalo. I was surprised with how great the pizza was. I can’t speak for the slices they serve during the day but the personal pies were certainly worth it. I’ll be going back this weekend. They got a patron out of me!“

“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.“

“Inlet View Bar & Grill — Caroline Was the Reel Southern Catch
We cruised in by rented pontoon, docked like we actually knew what we were doing, and headed up to the patio overlooking the inlet. The view was gorgeous, but Caroline was the real show‑stopper. She’s the sweetest little Southern belle — warm, charming, and the kind of server who sprinkles “hun,” “darlin’,” and sunshine into every interaction. If hospitality had a heartbeat, it’d sound like Caroline greeting a table.

Two of us ordered the fried fish & shrimp combo with sweet potato fries, and both plates were a total shore thing — crispy, flavorful, and gone before anyone could say “pass me a napkin.” Everyone left full, happy, and already plotting our next pontoon‑powered arrival.

Between the waterfront breeze, the great food, and Caroline’s sweet‑as‑tea service, this place hit the spot. She didn’t just serve the meal — she anchored the whole experience.“

“We started our meal at Maria’s Pizzeria with the Mussels Marinara, and they set the tone for a great night plump, tender mussels in a rich, flavorful sauce with plenty of bread for dipping. Everything that followed was just as good, from the pizza to the lasagna, all served in a warm, friendly beach atmosphere. If you’re on OIB, this is a must-stop. 🍕“

“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.“

“Great place to eat. Seafood was excellent. Staff was super friendly and service was great and the prices were more then reasonable. It's a go to if your in Calabash.“

“Love Sharky’s Waterfront Bar & Grill!“

“Jessica went over and beyond to make sure our experience was positive! My clients just moved here today, and they were impressed. Food was delicious and waitress was attentive and prompt. Jessica returned at the end to make sure we had a great dinner. I will be bringing my clients here from now on. Thank you!!“

“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!“
