    Ambience
    Lisa B.

    I wish they had mineral water (Pelligrino, Perrier) as a beverage choice...but unsweet tea will do. Mahi fish tacos were good enough, except for a guacamole sauce that was so spicy it made me cough-- never had that experience before! There was mild salsa, as well. Fried okra was nicely prepared. It's a small place, so a large group takes some time for food preparation. Good service.

    This place is 2 miles from our condo. We walked here at some lunch and took a nice walk back, 4 miles round-trip. I hope that makes up for the french fries we ate with our grilled mahi mahi sandwich and oyster po boy. :-) Everything was delicious and fresh. The waitress was super friendly and how can you beat the view. I highly recommend you give this place a try. Remember, when in Rome... meaning be sure to order seafood at a seafood restaurant!

    I've always made it a point to eat here during my stays at the Prince Resort every Summer. After long, hot days on the beach when you're really tired and just want to grab a quick, tasty bite with a great view, this is a win, win. It's not perfect mind you, as the prices can be quite high for certain entrees, and the alcohol selection is rather limited, and utensils, cups, plates, etc. are all plastic and disposable, but that's just pay to play for the convenience, atmosphere and view you're getting, and what a view it is! And in my experiences, the food has been pretty fresh and tasty. I've always been happy with the food I've ordered and never had a bad experience with food or service. All things considered, it's worth the investment if convenience and ambience are a really big factor. To me, there is a very acceptable balance between convenience, food quality/service, cost and ambience as long as you temper your expectations, so it's a definite yearly go to for me.

    Came in from 3 hour drive so we were tired and hungry. Party of 8 service was a little slow but they were a little short handed. Server was very polite and patient. Grilled shrimp and flounder were pretty good as well as shrimp and fish tacos. Beer menu was pretty bad best thing was corona light not a place we would hit on a good night out but served the purpose last minute.

    This place has typical southern beach fare. Experience can really depend on who is staffing and waiting on you. We went a couple of times because it's one of the few places on the beach you can go in and grab hot food. Once the service was terrible once it was awesome. Definitely a tourist spot. Food note - have the hush puppies and the fish tacos aren't bad either

    We come here multiple times every year we're in Cherry Grove! They have great food and delicious drinks (especially the strawberry margarita). Service is typically great and fast!

    Receipt

    Can get seafood or burgers, sandwiches, etc. here. Good food and drinks depending on what you order, but unfortunately the customer service was subpar. (Order the seafood, they dont do well with their sandwiches) The restaurant also sits poolside of the Prince Resort and is open for customers to walk in and buy alcoholic drinks. I walked in and ordered food recently along with 2 drinks. The bartender gave me my drinks and took my order and told me that the printer had broken on her and that she'd get me to sign a receipt when I stopped back by to pick up my food. When I got back about 20min later and asked for my receipt, I realized that she had taken in upon herself to tip 15% of the entire check. I usually tip pretty good, but not necessarily to include to go food that I pick up. I would have tipped her at least for the drinks, but instead of complaining decided I would simply leave her a bad review when I realized she had decided her own worth. Dawn never had me sign anything, so I'd love to see if her signature was on my bill. Very disappointing and will definitely discourage me from going back as long as she remains there. She was also rude from the beginning, not understanding how a floater could go in a frozen dairy drink. Needless to say that was my first and last drink that day. (Assuming Dawn is the same brunette I see others complaining about here in the reviews)

    Nice view from my seat

    This cute little cafe is right next to the Cherry Grove Pier, so if you plan on walking out there you will go right past it. There is a bar inside with some tables, but there is also a little deck with patio table or you can sit along the fence on bar stools. This is a laid back kind of place with a decent happy hour and a romantic ocean vibe. During happy hour some of their appetizers are also half off so we ordered 4 different items to compliment the 2$ cans of beer and 3$ margaritas. I believe they were serving Blue Bunny ice cream also. My son had a cup of strawberry and the server was nice enough to throw some whipped cream and sprinkles on top for us as well. I really liked it here. The staff was friendly and the view of the ocean next to the pier is great.

    The Boardwalk Beach Café is a hidden gem. It sits right on a pretty part of the North Myrtle beach with a long dock that you can walk on top of the water. You have to pay two dollars to get on that dock though. The place wasn't hard to find since we just looked for the right place on Yelp close by. It already had good reviews. I could see why. The service was super nice and the food was good too. We ordered the calamari for starter, some beer and margarita. The calamari was almost like a high-end fancy restaurant level good. And the flounder sandwich I ordered was on point. It wasn't too crispy or melty. My wife's chicken sandwich was good too. Now, here's the best part. This place has an indoor side and an outdoor patio with a great view. I mean it's a view I'd pay for. But I got it for free because I ate there! So yeah, I'd go again. In fact, we did think about it. But we decided to beach hop and went to other beaches the next couple of days. If we had stayed we would have definitely went back.

    Snooky's Oceanfront Dining is a beach bar and seafood grill that opened in North Myrtle Beach,…read moreSouth Carolina in 2019. It was founded by restaurateur Lance Denny. Growing up in North Myrtle Beach, Denny received his first restaurant experience due to the fact that his family owned and operated the Sante Fe Station restaurant. He would later go on to open Snooky's on the Water in Little River in 2017 (closed 2025). Looking to open a sister restaurant along North Myrtle Beach's Grand Strand, Denny opened Snooky's Oceanfront Dining in 2019. Snooky's has become well-known for their great selection of fresh seafood platters and entrees, as well as burgers, sandwiches, wraps, tacos, soups, salads, brunch dishes, raw bar and various bar bites. In addition to Snooky's, Denny also owns and operates Hurricane Juel's as well as Lance Restaurant Supply. He formerly owned Soufflé's and Blueberry's Grill. My family and I recently sampled food from Snook'y Oceanfront Dining while we were on an East Coast Road Trip. One day while we were lounging by our hotel's pool in North Myrtle Beach, we started getting hungry for lunch. Snooky's came highly recommended by our hotel staff, so I decided to take a walk down the street to order takeout. The place was adorned with all sorts of nautical decor (some of it humorous). My favorite decoration was the octopus wearing sunglasses. After looking over the menu, I decided to order the "Firecracker Shrimp Wrap" (roasted tomato basil wrap filled w/ shrimp, mixed greens, tomatoes, bleu cheese crumbles, Signature Firecracker Sauce) and "Buffalo Shrimp Lettuce Wraps" (baby shrimp deep fried and tossed in Buffalo sauce, stuffed into 2 Romaine lettuce leaves, topped w/ diced tomatoes, onions, & bleu cheese crumbles) with sides of "Sweet Potato Waffle Fries" for my wife and I to share. I also ordered "Fish Nuggets" (w/ fries) for our older son and "Mac 'N' Cheese" for our younger son. I walked everything back to my hotel and my family and I enjoyed it by the pool. Everything was delicious and it really hit the spot. We passed by Snooky's a few more times during our stay in North Myrtle Beach, and it definitely seems like a popular spot. We'll definitely be back the next time we find ourselves in North Myrtle Beach!

We told them we were ordering off the menu as the buffet did not look or smell appetizing while we were passing and I'm not a fan of buffets in general. It took forever to place our orders or get waters. I asked for coffee, the machine was broken so no coffee. We ordered and got our food and then finally after another reminder, we got our glasses of waters. I had an early riser with ham and scrambled eggs. The scrambled eggs looked anemic but tasted okay. The ham were sad and thin akin to a deli slice but maybe just very slightly thicker than what you would put in a sandwich. It was dry. Regret quickly settled when the dish was delivered to the table. At least the potatoes were okay. They weren't hashbrowns though as the menu said. To sum it all up, slow to average service, not really much of a view even though it's close to the water, and food was disappointing.
