“We had a wonderful experience at Meyer’s every time we visited while in town and we went several times.

“We looked all over Myrtle for what we thought looked like the best icecream spot and boy we weren't disappointed by picking Kirks! I'm not an icecream gal but I got the hot fudge cake Sunday and I ate nearly every bite!! My kids LOVED the pretty cotton candy flavor. The icecream was so fresh and creamy! If they look busy, no worries, they can get a line wrapped around the building taken care of in about 5 mins! We will be back yearly.. Much love, 740Eatz <3“

“I love your manager. What an awesome guy! My daughter had a birthday party at 810 Bowling in North Myrtle Beach. I wanted something different and more special than a birthday cake. I got in touch with the staff at Crazy Mason and ordered 10 shakes to be ready at a certain time. All were so helpful and every single shake came out absolutely perfect. I was so impressed with their efficiency, especially with a line that never ended! The kids were so excited-hard to excite a bunch of teenagers, but they LOVED their surprise shakes!!!! Highly recommend!“

“We went to a fundraiser today at 810 Bowling and Billiards. We had an amazing time. The food was great and the staff was super friendly. Don’t forget to stop my Mean Mugs Milkshake Bar while you are there for one of their amazing creations. So yummy“

“They honestly deserve more than 5/5
Like, no joke. This location goes above and beyond!

So, around a *year* ago, I got a box of cookies from Crumbl. Unfortunately, it turns out the ants in my house love delicious cookies too and invaded my box.

I emailed the store and they were really generous. Even though the ant issue was 100% my fault and not theirs, they still valued my experience and told me the next time I came in they'd give me a free box!

I happen to come across a string of bad luck shortly after that and wasn't able to take them up on it. I lost my car and more...

One night, I remembered the offer of a free box of cookies and decided to ride my bike to the store and see if they'd still honor it. Just as I got there, they locked to door (lol). They were kind and let me in anyway, and I honestly felt embarrassed asking to honor a free coupon from a year ago especially since they were closing.

They were so kind and told me I wasn't causing them any discomfort. They understood that life got hard for me and they still wanted me to have a good experience even if it was a year later.

Like, wow. They really cared a lot about me as an individual. They had no obligation to do any of the things they did to make my experience better. I ruined my cookies, I forgot about the free coupon for a year, I showed up as they were closing. They did absolutely nothing wrong, yet did everything they could to make things right for me.

20/5 ⭐“

“Freshhhhh HOT funnel cake with powdered sugar.. YUM? Oh, but choose 2 scoops of ice cream as a topper. The heat from the funnel cake will soften the ice cream to perfection! Believe me!! It's hot & cold, gooey soft, but still crisp, sweet, & sticky DELICIOUS!! ??? It's worth every penny!“

“Under new owners since mid-March 2025 and they are so friendly! Super customer service and gotta love Half Price Banana Splits every Thursday all day! They also have Buy One Scoop, Get One Free every Tuesday! The shop is very cute & plenty of room for seating. And ask for the card they stamp so that if you visit 5 times then you get a free ice cream! Look for the red & white striped awning!“

“Marin was awesome! He gave my kids some free samples as we were walking, and then pushed TWO carts down to where we were set up and got us some ice cold Italian ice.. super flavorful, and couldn’t ask for a better guy than Marin to serve it to us..we wish him the best when he heads back to Croatia..very refreshing to see a young guy hustling to make some money, with firm goals in mind for the future!“

“Awesome ice cream, many flavors.“

“this market has so much! great for bubble tea but also great for food ingredients and Asian candies“

“Loved the ice creams, the employees were lovely“

“My wife and I joined in September and are certainly hooked on this wonderful place. Top notch fun at a reasonable price. You can go play for a daily rate ($30) and it is well worth it or join for $25 a month and play unlimited mini golf, cornhole, ping pong, tons of big TVs, and much, much, more included. They have special events for members and tournaments weekly, so much fun! Chad runs the tourneys and has done an amazing job! We hope for lots more tourneys and events. Oh, and the food, service, and people are top shelf! Go check it out, let's play!“

“We had a Rita’s Italian Ice back in Pennsylvania when I was growing up, but we don’t have one in North Carolina—so it was a great surprise to see one while on vacation down here. As soon as I saw the sign, I knew we had to stop. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how clean everything was. The floors were spotless, the counters were wiped down, and the place smelled fresh. It really made me feel like they care about keeping the store nice for their customers. The staff were also super friendly. They greeted me with a smile as soon as I walked in and didn’t rush me while I looked at all the different flavors. When I asked for a recommendation, the worker was patient and even offered me a sample to help me decide. That made me feel welcome and comfortable. I got the Swedish Fish flavor with custard—it’s my absolute favorite—and it did not disappoint! It was sweet, smooth, and tasted just like the candy. It brought back so many good memories from when I used to go as a kid. Overall, I’d give Rita’s a 10 out of 10. If you're looking for a tasty dessert and a friendly place to hang out, this is a great spot to try.“

“Decided to stop by VieTea after running an errand and my daughter practically begging me for a Boba tea 🤣 and man we were blown away! Such a cute and friendly ambiance, the owner was super nice and took the time to inform us what the ingredients were in our drinks. They have a Karaoke area with a decent stage and a pool table! Will definitely be back to enjoy this shop as it should be. Go give this little place some love ❤️“

“Yummy fall treats are back Pumpkin ape blizzard and new Cinnamon Roll Centers Blizzard but they still have great single double and triple burgers 🍔“

““Recently, while wandering the lively main strip of Myrtle Beach, we stumbled upon an inviting dessert haven called Paradise Creamery. Deciding to give it a try, we opted for their frosty pineapple, and it was a revelation! The dessert exceeded all expectations with its perfect balance of creamy texture and refreshing pineapple flavor, making every bite an indulgent treat. It was clear that the frosty pineapple was not just a dessert but an experience, offering great value for the price. For those looking for a memorable treat in Myrtle Beach, Paradise Creamery’s frosty pineapple is a must-try. It’s not just food; it’s a taste of paradise!”“

“Tropical Sno is booking large events from school dances to birthday parties. Todd's team does an amazing job.“

“Excellent service and terrific food!“

“If you're looking for a refreshing treat on a hot day, you have to try the Italian ice at this place! The owner, Steve, is the epitome of a great business owner and person. He's always friendly and accommodating, and his Italian ice is simply delicious. In my opinion, this place is a must-visit for anyone who loves frozen treats. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!“

“So much goodness and so big ! Would recommend splitting most of the big sweet sundaes because they are ginormous. My husband and I split one and we were full after ! Pictured is big butterfinger crunch so good. My son loved the big smashed cookie. Will go back again“
