21 Best American Restaurants in Surfside Beach

“Excellent smashburger and onion rings! My new favorite!“

“Stop for a late evening dinner with our family. Our waiter was excellent and food was delicious Highly recommend!“

“I want to thank Southern Chicken for providing a delicious Thanksgiving meal for my 3 yo granddaughter and I. She loved the dressing & gravy. Thank you so much“

“Where do I start. I was recommended this place by a colleague and I must say from entrance to service it was better than any high end restaurant I have been to. Madison was my waitress so this review is for you. Super welcoming, gave me a lot of recommendations and substitute favorites, refilled my drink without me asking or even being completely finished, and even set me up with dessert when I was already full. This is the best service I have received to memory. To do all of this two weeks before she is due to deliver her daughter Anna is amazing and heaven sent. She was full of grace.
So if you are the owner, manager, or anyone with authority to act, I call for you to pay her while she is away on maternity leave in full as if she worked and collected tips. When she returns, promote her. Give her a promotion.
Madison, remember in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, when your daughter smiles and claps her hands, that is your sign she received the greatest gift God can give anyone.
The salad was first in class and the honey butter croissants, my God, they were yummy.“

“Love crabby Mike’s! They are the best in all of Myrtle beach for the crab legs and all. Courtney was our server and he was the best. We have had him before and he remembered us!“

“We come here every trip! The service is always great and they give you the most bang for your buck! Highly recommend!“

“Surfside Charlie’s is an amazing place for a relaxed, affordable evening with GREAT service - Bill, our waiter was amazing! Have been coming here for a few weeks and plan to tell all our friends. The food, service, and atmosphere are fabulous! Thank you for this welcome change to Myrtle Beach dining. We are deeply grateful.“

⭐⭐⭐ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ⭐⭐⭐“

“The food was amazing and the entertainment was top tier! The pirates kept a smile on my kids faces and the mermaid never broke character- such a neat place! We all left super full and happy! We can’t wait for our next trip here.“

“BIG KAHUNA APPROVED: Golden Egg Pancake House. My go too Breakfast Place. You cannot beat their Crab Cake Benedict. Great Coffee!! They are a pro Vet, pro Cop establishment.“

“My family and I go to this restaurant multiple times when we vacation at the beach. We go to the beach a couple times a year and we always go here. I do not understand why anyone would go to these chain restaurants when this gem is right there. They have the absolute by far best omelette and their biscuit and gravy is awesome. This is a family owned restaurant and their food is sooo good. We were at the beach last week and we went there 3 times. My family loves raves and we will always support their business.“

“Excellent food tonight as always!! Me and my family had one of the most outstanding waiters tonight by the name of (Adam). We just wanted to say thank you sir for the excellent service you provided to us tonight!!!“

“I go with a group of guys every week. Service is always great and the staff has a table ready for us when we get there. Amanda is usually our waitress and does an awesome job of taking care of us.“

“Double cheeseburger was delicious. And the cheesesteaks are awesome! Did takeout once and ate in today. Will go back.“

“By far the best restaurant we have eaten at from North Myrtle to Surfside! The blackened Mahi Mahi was the best I’ve ever eaten! It had my daughter & I fighting over the fork. Make sure to try the ribs, pulled pork & those fried green tomatoes too (they had me coming back to Virginia searching for green tomatoes). Our waitress, Shay, took wonderful care of us & almost has us convinced to make the move to Surfside. We’ll definitely be visiting every time we make the journey back to the coast.“

“Full disclosure, we planned to go to Dead Dog. But Murrels Inlet was a mad house and we weren't feeling like fighting the crowds and struggling to park. BEST DECISION EVER. First of all...Brandon? Literally the best. Fun, professional, warm and welcoming...we adore him. Food and drinks were delicious. We did the bacon cheesefries, the buffalo chicken sandwich, the banana peppers burger and a delightful little peanut butter and chocolate thing for dessert. Desiree was our server. Loved her. So helpful, efficient, friendly. And of course we bought shirts too. Cannot wait to go back. Great restaurant experience made even better by your amazing staff. Please share with them.❤️“

“Still one of our favorite places. We are so happy they are back. Great view, people and food. Total vibes. <3“

“We love the Sundown!
Have always felt welcome by the staff and the people that are patrons. Great food for great prices. Our favorite thing is the live music they always have! We've always seen really talented bands.
Thanks to the owners for having such a fun place.
We always look for a local pub.
And this is a gem.“

“First time ever my wife had been to a WH - in 70 years 😛“

“Great wings. I’m from Pittsburgh and we love our wings but couldn’t find any restaurant that could make good wings. Fat Jacks is the best on the beach. Cold beer, crispy big fat wings.“
