Just a really great spot to stop for a sit down breakfast. Good service, food, and a relaxing environment to start the day. We had a big group, but the waitstaff did a great job taking care of us. Everything came out quick as well. As someone who's pretty budget conscious, I felt the prices were very reasonable here. I wish I had more mornings to spend here on this trip. read more

Golden Griddle Pancake House - Apple pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Golden Griddle is the best pancake house in North Myrtle Beach. Their pancakes are always so fluffy and they use quality meats. It says a lot when they've been around forever. And they are located near the boulevard. read more

I ate here while on vacation and had a very disappointing experience. The server, Karen, was not helpful and seemed to rush me into ordering. When my food arrived, I found a bug on my plate. After bringing it to Karen's attention, I overheard her say under her breath, "Oh well, it won't be deducted from your tab." That response alone was shocking and unprofessional. I immediately asked to speak with the manager. Rather than addressing the situation appropriately, he told me there was nothing he could do. They took my plate away without explaining anything, and the manager was not willing to remove the item from my bill or offer a refund. The only reason the issue was taken seriously at all was because I had photo and video proof showing the bug on my food. The service was unprofessional, the issue was handled poorly, and there seemed to be very little concern for customer satisfaction. Based on my experience, I would not recommend coming here. read more

I would give this more of 2.5 star rating if half stars were available. Came here on a Saturday morning, early May. There was only a very slight wait (less than 5 minutes.) They were quick to get people in and out. The menu says that they've been opened since 1978. And while half of the interior has been painted, I'm not sure anything else has changed since then. I know our coffee carafe looked like it was 47 years old...the coffee mugs too since every one at the table had chips or cracks. Our waitress was not pleasant. None of the employees I encountered acted like they wanted to be there. And the bathroom was pretty disgusting. BUT!!!! My pancakes were tasty and the price was decent. I will probably not be coming back here. Especially when Hoskins is right down the street and so much better. read more

I have been coming down here to MB for years and I don't think I ever really noticed this place until today. The restaurant is close to several shops and other establishments. I came on an early Saturday morning (off-season) and even then people were coming in and out. Pretty busy for off-season. Restaurant was clean. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Food came out very quickly. Staff was attentive. Prices very good. There were several specials that were less than seven dollars. If I had one negative thing to say it would be my coffee was not very hot, but I'm guessing that was just an oversight. Either way, I will definitely be back. Thank you, golden griddle pancake house. read more

My lady and I came here for breakfast today, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The restaurant wasn't busy, yet it took quite a while for our waitress to even come to our table. The service throughout the visit was poor. The food was mediocre overall, with the exception of my waffle, which was phenomenal. My lady ordered hash browns but was instead served over-fried home fries that were basically potato chips. A good waffle alone isn't enough to make us return. Sadly, we won't be back. read more

Food was fine. The waitress was very kind. There was a good awful smell in the restroom area which was right off the bathrooms. It all kind of turned my stomach. read more

Ambience is the one thing that hasn't changed much. Wooden creaky doors, magazines, out front, and sweet smell that smells like heaven. But don't let that deceive you. The quality of the food has absolutely changed, and not in a good way either. You used to not have to chew your pancakes, they would just melt in your mouth. They were so soft and delicate. Didn't even put syrup on them. The level of disappointment that was coming here last year and actually having to chew my pancakes and pining for some maple syrup or something that I did not have in my bingo card. Still I give them two stars because I know they absolutely can do better. I heard they sold off to new owners and shame on them for letting such a wonderful establishment fall the way this place has. read more

The pancakes and potatoes are delicious. I also ordered well done bacon and it came out perfectly cooked. Great prices too also.

We all left disappointed. The restaurant itself was crusty, like it hadn't changed or been upgraded in 60 years. One wall was partially painted, but someone just gave up halfway through. Bathrooms had scrawlings on the wall. As soon as we sat down, we noticed my wife's coffee cup was dirty. French toast was very basic, coulda used some pizzazz, or something. Maybe some whipped cream and fruits or anything. But that wouldn't have saved this place. My son said his biscuits and gravy was not good. Much like every place with doors in MB, it was packed, so I guess they've no incentive to change it. read more

My wife and I went during an early morning breakfast and it was packed, nothing abnormal for the area. After waiting to be seated the service sadly put a bad taste in my mouth more than the food. The older lady seemed bothered to serve us when she hardly came to the table. All other tables had a container of warm syrup except ours and by time we noticed and she finally came to the table our food was out with sides of syrup so it was pointless at this point. We waited so long for her to come back to ask for extra neither of us was hungry anymore. The food was what you expect from a pancake. The special flavor types (I believe I had apple) were lackluster at best. Upon a return visit to the area I would not return. read more

Mediocre breakfast foods. Everything was fine but nothing was especially tasty. The omelet was a decent size and the biscuits and gravy were good. Did not care for the hash browns they had and they came out cool, not warm. Service was good and the waitress was friendly. An average country breakfast place. read more

My friends went here this morning (June 11, 2026). They are not white but Hispanic. It was packed when they arrived. They ordered drinks and it took forever to get them. They placed their order. Their food NEVER came! They left as they should have. So disappointing the racism in the South. They are not even immigrants but Spanish people from the Southwest who have lived in this country for 500 years!!!! Very very disappointing. Don't go here if you are BIPOC! read more

We came on a Sunday and it was extremely busy. When asked how long the wait was, the manager stated 15 minutes if not sooner. We found this surprising based on how many people were waiting but figured they were big parties. The wait ended up being almost an hour. As we were finally being seated, we heard multiple parties complaining that the manager told them the same thing. He was quite rude in his response. I have worked food served for 18 years now and you can read the room and estimate wait times better. The food though was typical diner breakfast fair. The portions were large. Our server was busy but still attentive enough. She made a mistake with our order but was able to correct it quickly. We will definitely be back and thankfully as locals, we can enjoy it at a less busy time read more

Long lines in off season. They do a great job moving people in & out. Food is good. The service was

It is a wonderful Breakfast spot. Service is great and so is the food. We have been there many times and have never been disappointed.

Ashly, our server was awesome, and kindly made us aware of "senior choices" for my 92 yo mom! My mother LOVED her single egg bacon and one peach pancake! We will definitely be back. Highly recommend. We had no wait and food was fast and very hot! So many choices on the menu! read more

Good breakfast, great service, our Server Ashley was great, accompdating friendly and personable

Stopped in Golden Griddle Pancake House for breakfast on our way out of town. Although it seemed to be a good wait my party of 3 was seated pretty quickly. I noticed those waiting had larger parties so be prepared. The ambiance didn't stand out to me so wasn't much to talk about. However, my viewing area was clean! The service was excellent! Our server, I believe her name was Sallie, was friendly and very nice which I truly appreciated. The food was not bad and the prices were affordable. I expected the pancakes to really wow me but they did not. I did eat it and it was satisfying but nothing to brag about so I took off a star. read more

A must go in Myrtle Beach. A simple breakfast done right!! Coffee is great, service is friendly, and the pancakes are the best in town

Could not be seated until our whole crew arrived (10 of us) and then after waiting to sit together, they seated us separately in a booth and others at a table. The food wasn't that good and greasy. I asked for extra crispy hashbrowns and they were not. I won't eat there again. read more

Um, I'll try again next time if I ever go back. My entire table said their French toast and waffles were excellent. However, i ordered the fries and patty melt. The bread was well seasoned but the patty tasted frostbite. Yuk! The fries have absolutely no seasoning. Don't do it! Learn from my mistakes!!! They also do not refill soft drinks but charge a price of what a refillable drink would be. On top of that, the bathroom was disgusting. I can deal with a dirty bathroom but this one was dirty and smelled of piss. If the employees have to use this same bathroom and wash their hands and it looks/smells like this, it makes me question the cleanliness of the overall restaurant. This should be unacceptable in any establishment and more importantly in a restaurant. Lastly, they will not seat you unless your entire party is there. They are very strict about that. So, make sure everyone is there before being seated. Good luck, and go to the restroom BEFORE you go. read more

Food was average. Fast service, plenty of room big enough for larger families. This was our first meal upon arrival in South Carolina. I had a steak and egg breakfast with grits . The steak was a ground beef Patti which I feel was heavy on my stomach and unexpected since I thought I would get a steak. read more

Eating here was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. It took 20 mins after we were sat for our server to acknowledge us then another 20 to get our drink and food order, and then another 20 to bring our drinks. They also forgot to bring my friend's water and it took them another 10 mins to bring out a cup of water. Food was nothing special and my other friend is a vegetarian who was not told about there being bacon included! I would recommend never going here and I certainly never will again. read more

If I could give no stars, I would. Service was terrible. One table turned over 3 times before we got our food. It should not take an hour to get breakfast food. Our service was so slow. The inside was filthy and cluttered. It's like an episode of Hoarders. This is a perfect example of a restaurant in a tourist town who doesn't care because the clientele is different every week. When paying the bill, they never asked how anything was. Don't waste your time. read more

While in vacation in Myrtle Beach, we had family take us to Golden Griddle Pancake House. As a general rule, I like to go where the locals eat rather than the more touristy places. When we arrived, I noticed a line outside, which is usually a good thing. After a 10 minute wait, we were seated. The restaurant has the normal diner vibes with South Carolina being the focus. I actually learned quite a bit just by reading the place mat on the table. The menu has a lot of good items, which made the choice difficult. The prices were very reasonable as well, which is not always the case with breakfast joints. I eventually went with the Big Dog special, which is two eggs, a choice of meat and pancakes. I went with scrambled eggs, bacon, and blueberry pancakes. The eggs were your run-of-the-mill eggs, same with the bacon. The real MVP as their name states, were the pancakes. These were some of the best pancakes I've ever had! The blueberries with big and juicy and the maple syrup was nice and thick. I had to dig deep, but I did finish them. If you are in town for vacation and are looking for a good cheap breakfast, this is your place. Be prepared to wait, but it is worth it. read more

Our favorite breakfast spot! We came on a Sunday and the people standing around waiting were blocking the door and everyone seems confused about who to go to to put their name down for a table. It was a lady at the end of the counter holding her purse so she just looked like a customer. Maybe a name tag or sign or something showing who to go to . I come here a lot and it was just confusing for everyone. It wasn't super busy. Love love the corned beef hash , I love the grits and the bread they use for their toast . We'll definitely come back.. like always read more

Good fast service. A filling breakfast. Busy place. I recommend Lots of options. Good coffee

Food was served at a lukewarm warm temperature at best and portion sizes were minuscule at best. Not allot of value for the price.

Definitely a go to when we're in the area. Everyone here is very nice from the front entrance, to servers to when you check out. The food here is also very reasonably priced and very good. The Belgian waffle is really good and they have all types of fruit options to add. I noticed they open super early, 6am! read more

I hate when companies claim 'the best _____ in town' or in this case 'best pancakes on the beach', and then don't deliver the best. I was expecting some phenomenal pancakes and what I got was nothing more than a mediocre pancake that tasted no different then the pancake mix they sell in a box at the grocery store. And instead of fresh Strawberries they use those weird soggy Strawberries that sit in juice. The sausage links that I ordered on the side were the best thing about my whole meal. read more

Golden Griddle Pancake House - Strawberry pancakes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

We had a party of 8 and wanted a quicker breakfast before hitting the road. The place doesn't have a functional ticket system because several tables were seated after us, were served, they ate their meals and paid before we even got food. We waited longer here than ive ever waited for breakfast, 55 minutes. They charged us $4 for each drink and no free refills. With waiting that long I would expect refills. I asked for water and got a cup of warm sink water with no ice. I was a bit worried when 3 separate people at our table tasted different foods in the food we ordered. Pancakes tasting like sausage and undercooked in the middle. Bacon tasting like chocolate. It's all cooked together and it obviously doesn't get cleaned. Vegetarians beware. I highly discourage any group bigger than 4 to go here. They wouldn't seat us until every person in our group was standing at the front counter. Our food was the very last priority I assume because we had a group of 8. Some food was sitting for a while as only half the food was warm. I don't think I'd ever go back here because the cost mixed with neglectful service. read more

The place was dirty and food was terrible. Tried to send my omelette back because it had the wrong cheese but server insisted it was right but it was not. There's a huge difference between Swiss and American cheese. Anyone can tell the difference. Never again! read more
