46 Best Seafood Restaurants near Surfside Beach

“The food in Surfside is very good and service is as well, but, check for hidden fees and wrong prices. A side salad is an up charge of $2.50 as a side which we were not informed. I ordered a $10 drink during happy hour but was charged $14.90. So check before you order and check your ticket. Other than that you will enjoy the meal.“

“Great chicken and rice. and the strawberry boba is amazing. the people here are so nice and friendly. Definitely a hidden gem in surfside for sure“

“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.“

“THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Will for everything you did to help me with my fiance's birthday dinner!! For the past few years, we go back to MD to see my family and eat at Pappas for his birthday this time every year. We couldn't make it this year, so this was the time to try Casa Mia's. Will, you were absolutely right...so much better than Pappas and thankfully closer ta boot. Crab cake dinner with cream of crab soup on the side was PERFECT!! I've tried other places around in the Grand Strand area, and nothing comes even the slightest bit close to a REAL Maryland crab cake like what you have at Casa Mia's. I appreciate you making this birthday for him a continued ritual of a crab cake dinner. I appreciate ya!! I hope he remembers this for my birthday in December!!😁“

“We have been enjoying your restaurant for many years,but last night was the first time we were disappointed. We brought a couple with us for their first time there.We had been praising everything about it but last night we ordered off the regular menu,not the early bird specials and the portions were smaller than what we had on the early bird specials! It was excellent as always,but we were still hungry when we left. We’re not huge eaters and usually have leftovers!“

“Malibu was the first Italian restaurant we went to when we moved to Myrtle Beach. We loved it then and still do. However, on our recent visit, another couple joined us. We discovered they don’t do separate checks. They explained, but for 4 people adding up the bill isn’t hard. Most restaurants will do separate checks. The other thing I noticed, they’re portions have gotten smaller. The first time I had Mama’s sauce I could barely finish it. Not this time. Significantly smaller. I hope they change their portions.“

“UNCommon Meet and Eat Monthly Lunch enjoyed a tasty salad and baked potato buffet. All comments from attendees were positive! Service was great!“

“The food, waitress and atmosphere were excellent. We'll definitely be back. The grouper bites and asian salad were delicious. Thanks for having a GF menu too ! Spouse had a great fish fry basket. Glad we ate here !“

“Consistently good food for either breakfast lunch or dinner. Highly recommend!“

“My favorite seafood place and not overpriced“

“Lee’s Inlet Kitchen has been a part of my life since childhood. Best seafood ever, best service. The highlight of our beach vacations. Looking forward to our next visit.“

“highly recommended! Great food, perfectly cooked. We had grilled grouper and a scallop/clam combo. Everything was so delicious we're going back today.“

“Service And food were very good.But for some reason theirs no kind of “Happy Hour”. We’re locals so their are many options for us. The ownership should have some kind of specials.Or this restaurant will end up like previous ones in that location.“

“Great food! All the seafood was cooked perfectly which is pretty rare.l when getting grilled scallops, shrimp and flounder. Sent the fries back to get them crispy but what a treat! Good service.“

“Have wanted to try Hanser House for years and finally got the opportunity tonight. My husband and I agree, this has been one of the best meals we have ever had! Will definitely be back again and again.“

“We come to Myrtle Beach once a year. This was our first and will not be our last. The service was fantastic and our server was Tia ask for her she is the best!!! The food was also amazing and the seasoning was fantastic!“

“Her from Ohio and ordered from this restaurant today and we were very impressed. The food was delicious and the Lady that took our order was nice. Thank you for the tasty meal!!???“

“We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, good friendly service & especially the bourbon glazed shrimp & scallops served on the delicious corn! Those drunken clams sure died happy & we were glad they were happy!“

“The food is great! The only reason why I gave it four stars was because when I got there shortly after they ran out of fresh oysters on the buffet. For the amount of money that I spent there I would expect them to have a full buffet until close.
We travel there at least twice a year to eat as a family. The buffet is around $50 per person. With a family of five you expect the availability of all products when you arrive. It's not like I could go back the next day or afford to do so.“

“Loved it! Easy and great food. Hot and fresh!“

“Had the special last night for dinner. It was delicious! Linguini and clams! I’m still thinking about it. Sooooo very good!“

“The service was great . The only issue we had was with a party of 8 everyone’s food was too salty. I’m not one who is light on salt so for me to say salty …it was salty . A couple of the people couldn’t even eat their meal due to so much salt . It may been an off night for whoever was preparing the meals. Everything else was great .“

“Five stars. Amazing drinks and atmosphere! Highly recommend.“

“Was there Wed night, great buffalo shrimp, phenomenal oyster combo. Bartender super nice/sweet. She hooked the oysters up herself. This is my favorite go to place when I'm in town. I don't understand why they aren't more busy then they are. Food is outstanding there. Great local chill place. Love this place, kudos“

“I visited Kimbels for a wedding. The weather was fantastic and glad it was because the wedding was held on the bluffs. Such a beautiful setting. Appetizers were served to us by wandering waiters in an outside tent along with a bar and band. After the ceremony and wedding pix ... the people went inside where there were 4 food stations. So good. After we got our fill ... we went back outside under the tent to dance. It couldn't have been better!“

“We were there on March 15, 2023last week. The food was great, great atmosphere, the staff was great. We loved the entertainment also. It was great all around!!“

“The shrimp was the best thing on the menu. The fish wasn’t that great, I have had better. The fries were fried in the same oil as the fish and you could taste it. I would be cautious if you thought about ordering the chicken fingers.The coleslaw was tasty, I wish they gave you more. The hush puppies were ok. I didn’t like the crab cake but my dad enjoyed it. I like that this place is inside of lakewood camping resort and you can eat almost right on the beach.“

“Excellent food. Good service. Lovely complementary brownie, hot fudge, ice cream dessert for my birthday.

Update 2/14/2026 For breakfast.
Do not go near the end of their breakfast service. Worst breakfast I've had in a long time. Service was horrible, the country gravy on the biscuits was congealed, everything was cold except the grids which were like wallpaper paste. By 10:15, the buffet had essentially been knocked down as one of my companions likened it to a breakfast at a chain hotel.“

“Our "go to' place for our anniversary every year! Great food and excellent friendly service always.“

“we tried the restaurant for the 1st time on 5/3 and we loved it. food was delicious and great service. we will back for sure“

“My friend and I went to the Draft Resturant at Westgate Resorts in Myrtle Beach for dinner and unlike other places we have dined at this trip, it was the most pleasant.

Our waitress Daniella Nicholson was amazing. I’d first like to say that she was the only server in the restaurant on a Friday night and with every passing minute, more family’s entered. She made sure to check in on us and update us on the status of our meal. The food and drinks were pretty good, no complaints there.

There were some very rude individuals who raised their voices when she asked explained that she was alone at the moment, which was very uncalled for.

This has been by far the best food/service experience we have had since being here and even though Danielle was busy, she treated everyone with kindness and respect.

Whatever you do this holiday season and even in your everyday dining experiences, be kind to others because it’s people like Danielle who show up to work daily allowing us the luxury to be waited on.“

“Me and my family was there on 07/13/25 and we love it!!!! highly recommended and we will be back very soon!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💫💫💫💫“

It was so delicious everything was amazing we drove over an hour away so tonight we want to go out to eat !! Decided to try red lobster again !
