“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!“

“Dinner at California Dreaming was a great experience. I enjoyed the she-crab soup and the California Dreaming salad, and both were delicious. My family ordered other menu items, and everything looked appetizing. The food was served hot, and the chicken tenders were especially flavorful. The one thing that stood out most was the exceptional customer service provided by Blaze. He was attentive, helpful, nice, and pleasant throughout our visit. He made sure we had what we needed and provided the kind of service that deserves recognition.

California Dreaming offers limited options for the whole family, making it a good place to visit for dinner. We had an enjoyable meal, and Blaze’s outstanding service made the experience even better.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Wooden Spoon was very busy so we decided to try this place out. My Spinach Mushroom omelette was delicious, home fries were nice and crispy. The toast was okay, thin sliced and not the best but overall a decent place to go. Pricing was surprisingly inexpensive.“

“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.“

“Very good food and friendly servers The burgers were really good. I had one for dinner during my Surfside vacation and enjoyed it so much that I had to come back for a second time before I left. I would definitely recommend this place! The sign is right it really is all about those burgers 🍔“

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

“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.“
