    My momma had crab cakes and mash tators.
    Zachery G.

    First things first--the atmosphere was very kid-friendly, and from the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with smiles by the hostesses. They quickly seated our party of five, which was a great start to our visit. The service was okay. Nothing over the top, but not bad either. There were a few times our drinks got low, and we had to look around for our waitress, but it wasn't a huge deal. One thing I did notice was that the restaurant felt a little warm and humid inside, but with how busy it was, I can understand why. Now let's get to the best part--the food! My mom ate the crab cakes and cleaned her plate. She said they were so good she almost licked the plate clean! The kids had the chicken tenders and loved them. They were just a little overcooked, which is why we ended up taking some home, but they still enjoyed them. My wife ordered the HUGE grilled shrimp salad and finished every bite. She left happy, but she did mention she would have liked a few more shrimp, especially considering the price. As for me, I had the Catch of the Day, which was swordfish. Let me tell you--if you've never tried swordfish before, go to Carolina Roadhouse and order it! I had mine broiled, and it was cooked perfectly. It was tender, flavorful, and hands down one of the best fish dishes I've had. My only complaint? I wanted more! Overall, my little family had a great experience, and we'll definitely be back. Next time, I'll finally be trying the famous ribs that everyone keeps talking about. Thanks for a great meal, Carolina Roadhouse! From the Griggs Family

    Big place and it was hopping! We enjoyed our meal here. Service was decent, though the table next to us was having some issues with pulled out server away from our table, though we understood why it was a little slow. Food was good. The flounder was delicious! The croissants were yummy. Ribs were pretty good, although pretty thin - not very much meat on them. Refills were prompt and overall the service was good.

    Fried Flounder

    Dinner on weekend night without reservations - around 45 wait, but worth it. Very spacious with bar too. Ordered fried flounder, shrimp & filet mignon, and shrimp dinners. And tried the highly recommended croissant appetizer - light and buttery, very good! Dinners were very good as well - everything done as ordered and delicious. Creamed spinach was excellent! And veggie of the day Green Beans w/ bacon and onions were perfect! Will definitely return.

    10/10 experience! The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. You can tell everything was made with care. The customer service was top-tier from start to finish, and the hot hand towel service was such a nice, elevated touch that really set them apart. Everything about this place felt intentional and well done. I would definitely come back again!

    Carolina Roadhouse is a MUST dining experience that's open year round in Myrtle Beach. Get on their wait list before you head over. Order the warm croissants with honey for an appetizer- they don't disappoint! Everyone in our party enjoyed their drinks and meals. Our waitress was a seasoned professional. Great food and atmosphere. These guys know what they're doing.

    I loved dining here on our Myrtle Beach vacation. This restaurant was spacious, had comfy seating, and was a relaxed vibe. Friendly for families. Kind and attentive waitstaff. The house salad dressing was delicious, I wish I could have bought some to take home! The jumbo wings were juicy and marinated in hot peppers. The Danish baby back ribs were tender, fall off the bone, and one of my favorite meals of our vacation. The garlic mashed potatoes that accompanied it were perfect.

    Interior
    Matt W.

    Reviews looked really Good for this place, so the wife decided she wanted to try it. First impressions: this is a huge interior. Very high ceilings and huge palm trees in the middle. A large bar for drinks while you're waiting...which tonight there was over an hour wait (Thank goodness for reservations!) We were seated fairly quickly. Food: Not a very large menu, but good standard choices. Wife had the filet mignon. I had the Fresh Fish of the day (swordfish). Also ordered the croissants app. App came fairly quickly. The croissants were very good. Buttery and flaky...delicious. The main courses took a while to get to our table. Wife's filet was overcooked for what she ordered (she wanted medium rare...but it was much more medium) but she still enjoyed the steak. She really loved the side of garlic mashed potatoes. They were YUMMY!!! My swordfish was well cooked (broiled) and juicy, but very bland. There was absolutely no seasoning on it. I still enjoyed it however. Service: Our waiter (Ryan) was excellent. He was attentive and on top of things. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. My only complaint of the night (not on our server) was when the manager/hostess sat a group of 5 at the 4-person table very close to us and shoved a chair in between our tables. Made the seating quite close. Not ideal for wanting to be able to hold conversation with my wife. Ambiance: Very loud. Not only is it a huge dining area with lots of people, but the kitchen area is also open which contributes to the noise level. Otherwise, the interior is very nice. Overall, we had a positive experience. For 2 of us, as you can see on the receipt, our dinner came out to over $80. It is a little on the pricier side, but that's to be expected in a tourist town. Watch the tip suggestion on the receipt...they have it based on the total AFTER tax. I still tipped well, but I figured out my own tip based on the total BEFORE tax. For us, this was a bit of a drive from Surfside Beach...about 30 minutes. Not sure it was worth the trip. We could probably find something just as good, if not better, much closer. However, if you are in the upper Myrtle Beach area and it is close in proximity, it would be worth a visit. Final impression: it's a basic steakhouse...nothing more. Still good...just not great.

    Just a good spot in the Myrtle Beach area. The croissants are fantastic, salads are great, service is always great and entrees never disappoint. I've had seafood, steak and chicken entrees and have enjoyed them all. Would definitely recommend if in the area.

The best part was the owner's visits to the table. He would describe dishes that made you hungry. We ordered (at his recommendation) the eggplant parm, a fish dish and a shrimp scampi. The fish and shrimp were delicious but the eggplant that two of us ordered was not edible. The owner visited at the end of our meal where we shared the bad news about the eggplant dishes. He was very concerned that we had not had a good meal. He offered to cook up something else to make us happy. Of course we refused. He comped both of the eggplant dishes! He didn't have to do that but we appreciated it. Although this place was a disappointment, the owner's enthusiasm and commitment to great service and good food will bring us back for another try.

    Hi Everyone, If you…read morelive to eat as many my of my Italian friends do, Villa Romano's succulent fare, will put that curl in your hair. This restaurant was a surprise from our oh so friendly, engaging, interesting and very accomplished Accordion Virtuoso, Mike. To our very enthusiastic, lovely, patient, Server Berkley. To our food which was divine. To the "Old World" Italian environment, kinda like Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, without the human statues that move ever so slightly, but just enough to to make you feel, something is a miss, but what??? Man, that drove me crazy. Also, you want to go here to dine because their competing Restaurants in the area feel having you wait in very long, well over an hour and a half lines, just to get in satisfies their need not to take any reservations. Hun...? Yep, they're fine having Aunt Susie's makeup looking like Mark Shostrom, the Master Makeup Artist from the horror series "A Nightmare on Elm Street" movies, put it on for her. We all know also, because while we tried our best not looking at how Aunt Susie's makeup was contorting her face, it was like trying not to look at a car wreck. I even laid 7-5 odds that her false eyelashes would become a moustache, and won, while we all did exactly that to satisfy my beautatious date's Cousins' from Reno, fish wish, in Myrtle Beach. We stood in the lines outside, in the evening heat, at three different restaurants that we tried. Please remember to bring water, you'll feel better while you wait, wait, wait again, and then really wait, as if Mosses is going to appear from on high with the Ten Commandments. Instead it's, "Your table is ready" as you try to wake Grandma from her heat induced coma. While Villa Romano's bait, is to actually take your reservation and instead, have you relax on your tushy while having a cocktail in their comfortably A/C filled delightful ambience while you relive your day's perspective with friends and Family ("No, you missed it. First he...", ya know), while Mike fills the air with his sweet mellifluous musical notes floating by you for your audio pleasure, much like the feather in Forrest Gump. Their appetisers looked awesome however, this is an "Old World" Italian restaurant that offered their minestrone soup, and their Caesar salad which came with our meals, was very tasty, and paired very well with the bottle of wine from their varied, and well selected wine list, which we all shared. First, I read some of Villa Romania's great reviews on Yelp, before making a reservation, most especially, because I did not want anyone to have to repeat "THE LONG Lines" at our Fried Fish Palace, lol experience from two nights earlier. All of our entrees pictured below, were savoy, aroma enticing, tastebud thrilling, flavor forward, and exceeded all our sensory expectations which helped us all unwind while really enjoying our evening out together as it unexpectedly, evolved into an event for us all. While all their deserts sounded wonderful we were all completely full. But on our next visit, tiramisu, ice cream, and cannolis for all. So it's expensive, right? That is a great question Poindexter, but wrongo, my parsimonious friend. It was again, surprisingly affordable, and "I shall return" as General Douglas MacArthur once said. Why? Because sometimes you just can't find what will work for everyone, and that feels and tastes, just right. That's it! That is Villa Romana Restaurant, and we all were so gleeful and happy we discovered that fact in our visit to Myrtle Beach, SC. Manga... Enjoy!

I was a bit skeptical because we passed it a few times on our way to different places in town, and from the outside you couldn't tell that it served upscale cuisine. But it had great reviews so we took a chance. Ambience: The inside was dimly lit with an old school feel. Reminds you of an old school New York establishment from the 80's. I liked it. It had a welcoming feel and I noticed there were at least two regulars the staff greeted. Food: We ordered an appetizer of calamari and the short ribs. Additionally, I was going to get the salmon but they had a special of red snapper with lump crabmeat, green beans and rice. The food was delicious. The calamari was one of the best I have ever tasted. The addition of the fried peppers complimented the dish well. They were nicely fried and seasoned. Very light crust which I love. Sadly I didn't get a chance to taste the short ribs because I was just too enthralled in my dish. The snapper was perfection! Everything on the plate paired well together. Also, if you're not going for an alcoholic beverage, their freshly squeezed lemonade is so refreshing. Service: I'm truly bad about remembering names and as is my usual, I don't recall the name of the waitress, but she was truly attentive and nice. She was also knowledgeable about the food and patient. Truthfully, all the waitstaff seemed genuinely kind towards the patrons, which was nice. If I am ever in the Myrtle Beach area again I will definitely be going back. Loved it!
