19 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Surfside Beach

“Myself, my daughter (then aged 5, she's 7 now), my mom, and sister went there for the very first time when we were vacationing in Myrtle Beach back in July 2023, and we absolutely LOVED it!! A bit pricey, but soooo worth it. The food and everything, was so awesome!! My daughter, absolutely LOVED seeing the mermaid, and the rest of us did, too!! We've never seen that sort of thing before, in a restaurant, so it's different. 🤗😄❤️“

“Sara at Neal and Pam’s is a great server. Our food and drinks were perfect and she made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be regulars! Thanks Sara!!“

“I give El Cerro a 5 star. Great food, big portions and the waiter, Jonathan (S-5) was very friendly and helpful. We gave him a very generous tip. He deserved it!“

“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!“

“Always great food and great service! We cannot recommend this place enough!“

“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“

“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!!!“

“Amazing food! Fresh ingredients, attentive staff and no long waits. A reasonably priced meal and a cool atmosphere! Worth the drive from surrounding areas!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Yummy ribs and just the right amount of food! Brandy our server was great. Will be back.“

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

“Best pizza in Myrtle beach! We absolutely love your food choices and menu. Highly recommended! Great delivery with out all the fees!“

“I was the Director of Operations for a very well-known family-run restaurant corporation before working as a paralegal, so I understand how many moving parts it takes to run a successful establishment.

This was my first visit to River City, and while the overall experience was warm, inviting, and marked by exceptional service, the food unfortunately fell short. We ordered two 10-piece wings — one all flats, fried naked, and the other tossed in buffalo sauce. I didn’t get all flats and they were not prepared as requested and were undercooked, requiring me to finish them in the oven. They were not good even after that. My husband, who usually eats every wing he orders, could only manage a few of his buffalo ones, which was disappointing given how much he praises River City.

That said, the house-made ranch and the French fries were absolutely fantastic, and the service truly stood out. The atmosphere while waiting was also very pleasant.

I still gave a 5-star review because I know how critical every department is in creating the full guest experience, and the team here clearly cares about hospitality. However, I strongly recommend revisiting how the wings are prepared they could make or break the meal.

I’m hopeful that next time will be different, because River City clearly has the foundation to be excellent.“

“Oh my Gosh!! Food is amazing! Owners are friendly.“

“Delicious fresh made soups Sushi, chicken and beef meals. we come here often as locals. Great deal with Pay one Price all you can eat!!!“

“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.“
