We had lunch here and everyone liked their food. I had the grouper sandwich. Pricey at $20, but really good. My friend had Calabash shrimp and loved it. The server was super nice and attentive. read more

This restaurant is on the entrance to the Apache Pier. Probably 16 tables both inside and on a covered patio. Service was good with exception of having to go up to the bar to get by soda refilled. On the food, my wife ordered Clam Chowder and a fried Shrimp and Oyster basket. She said that the tasted mostly potatoes and little clam in the chowder. Her other issue was that the Oysters weren't fried enough for her. My granddaughter ordered Chicken pasta-she said it had a strange taste and didn't like it. I tasted it and there was a strong peppery taste that was off putting. I had Raw oysters which were fine and blackened grouper which was overcooked but okay. Just not as good as I heard and a price of $120 for 2 adults and 1 child. read more

Everything we wanted for dinner! A local place off the beaten path, ocean views, delicious food, and great service. Wuendy was so kind and attentive! It's actually located in a campground but it added to the charm! Highly recommend! read more

FIRST VISIT! This isn't the easiest place to find but you will be happy when you do!! They are located in the very back of a huge mobile home park 'community'. There's usually a slight wait, but it was worth every minute. You can sit outside, wait in your car, stroll through the pier market/store or pay to walk out into the pier while you wait. They will call you when your table is ready. We had an awesome waitress (from Greece) who was very helpful for many items in the menu. We did try the Tator Kegs (house made Tator tots stuffed with bacon and cheese) and they were good. Hubby enjoyed his burger and seasoned fries. There was an issue with my first batch of flounder but the kitchen got it right 100% in the second try! The shrimp were delectable and the flounder was spectacular. I will ALWAYS eat at Groupers when in Surfside!!!! It's too good not to!!! read more

Really 4.5 I'd say. Decent view (wish it were on the pier rather than at the side) but food was really good and prices were very fair. Had Nita as our server - sweet lady. Great relaxed vibe as we sat in the huge Adirondak chairs outside. Flounder basket was huge - served grilled. Will be back! read more

We had lunch at Groupers during our fishing adventure on Apache Pier (highly recommend as well!). My husband and son had the bang bang shrimp basket and I the fried catfish basket. The catfish was tender and not greasy. The boys loved the shrimp. The highlight of both were the epic hush puppies! It was a great lunch! read more

This place is awesome! Unless you know where it is, you'll miss it. It is nestled at the back of a campground and you have to go through their gate to get into this place. WORTH THE HASSLE! The restaurant sits at the front of the Apache Pier and has an old south feel to it. The service is always great. The food is always wonderful. Great bar. Great food selection. Perhaps one of the best hidden gems in Myrtle Beach! read more

Highly recommend- our favorite meal during vacation!! We are from WI and we were craving fresh seafood. We sat outside with a beautiful view of the ocean. Service was quick with how busy it was. We ordered grouper bites, hush puppies, bang bang shrimp, flounder seafood basket and grouper meal. There was not 1 thing left on our plate! The bang bang shrimp was definitely a family favorite. We recommended this place to other families in our group who all came here to eat and enjoyed it just as much as us. read more

Slaw tasted bad. Hush puppies tasted of old oil. Not much shrimp. Jumbo looked small. Disappointing

Dolphin fingers were the best I've ever had and the margaritas went down smoothly! It was packed! It's a popular place and the view is great! read more

Chef's entrees are the way to go here. Great fish and tasty hush puppies (which were a little sweeter than average)

Shateria provided outstanding service from start to finish. She was professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled perfectly. The food was outstanding, and her attention to detail, positive attitude, and willingness to help made the experience even better. It's rare to find someone so dedicated to providing excellent customer service. I highly recommend Shateria to anyone visiting The Pier. She is a true asset to the team and made a lasting positive impression. read more

I had a wonderful time at Groupers at the Pier. On my visit to Myrtle Beach, I found this restaurant based on the Yelp reviews as we were looking for a good seafood spot on the beach. It was a short drive from our hotel and we were happy to enjoy a view of the ocean as we enjoyed our delicious meal. We opted for the fried shrimp seafood basket and an order of grouper fish. Given it was the namesake of the restaurant, we were curious to try it out. We thoroughly enjoyed the fried shrimp and the dipping sauces were very tasty and made a good pairing for the shrimp. The grouper was quite tasty and we enjoyed the sides that came with it as well. Our servers were prompt with getting us seated and taking our orders, and they checked in with us frequently. This is a nice lunch place for anyone visiting (or living in) Myrtle Beach and a great seafood spot! read more

Grilled grouper was so extremely salty it was barely eatable. We were with a few other people so did not want to delay by asking for a different plate of food. The amount of vegetables was negligible! Others did not finish their food either. The date we all ate there was March 20, 2026. Our server was very nice. read more

Great grilled fish and the best fried oysters. Make sure you try their sauteed vegetables. Perfectly seasoned and so good. Our server was so friendly too. read more

Walked the beach this morning and wanted some seafood. What a nice surprise when walking up the pier to find Grouper's. Nita was our waitress and she was so nice and came with recommendations of things to do and places to go while we are here. Food was affordable and filling. Appreciated my spicy margarita rimmed with Old Bay seasoning too. Plus was the dolphins were out and we were able to watch them as we ate. The bartender even came out to make sure we saw them playing. This was the perfect lunch for the day. Scenic and sunny. Very casual atmosphere and great for kids too!! read more

Pleasantly surprised at the quality and flavors of the food. We were expecting average touristy food. The surf and turf Valentine's Day special was a perfectly seasoned steak and perfectly cooked lobster tail. I had the grilled grouper and was very happy with the flavor of the dish. The service was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place for a quality, tasty dinner. read more

The shrimp baskets are delicious. Loved the batter shrimp. I also got a lemonade and it wasn't too sweet which is great!

A little bit of nostalgia. This place is done in mainly older dark wood paneling. We came here to get our fill of FRIED SEAFOOD. It was all good with light breading. It's part of the Apache Campground Complex, attached to the Pier...which is our next stop read more

Love the atmosphere, right off the beach and views of the ocean. Service was okay, a bit of a juggle from what I was watching for our waitresses. Food was okay at best and not worth the money. Needs a solid cook with good ingredients to make this place boom. read more

Really great fish basket. I will be back the next time I'm at Myrtle Beach. Service was outstanding as well.

Great location right on the pier, food was reliable but not anything crazy, and the service was awesome. I recommend looking out for the server/bartender "kool aid" she's awesome and made our experience 10x better. I also recommend the banana frozen drink alcoholic or not it is so refreshing and tasty. Only thing I would change is the space being a little bit bigger which would help with the longer wait times for bigger parties! read more

Excellent customer service, strong drinks and oh my that grouper was delicious. It's fried but ever so lightly. Could eat there daily and great view! Only downside is the tables sit low so it's hard to have a view without standing read more

First thing is how challenging it is to get to. You have to go through the campground and compete for parking with the people visiting the pier. But now for the things that went well, the Service was very good. Nita was very attentive and made sure that we had everything that we needed. We ordered the clam chowder and the calabash shrimp platter. I will say that the food for us was big enough for us to share , but all of it was very good. The standout was the clam chowder was some of the best I've had down in the south. As for the atmosphere, it's a small little quaint restaurant that's attached to the pier so it is in a popular spot. Prices were higher than I would have liked but overall a solid 4. read more

Food was excellent, service was excellent and the view was awesome!! Will definitely go again!!

Great if you are looking for deep fried. Recommend the flounder blackened because everything else is fried! Then get cappuccino crunch waffle cone from the pier read more

Nice little place with excellent sea food and Clam Chowder. .Menu had good variety. Our choice was Grouper Bites - real good. We saw nice salads and burgers and Shrimp go to other tables. Our waitress Latoya was really nice, helpful and took care of us like family. We will go back. Price was good not like the big seafood places on the main road. We found it priced right and just great on the deck. Inside was nice but we decided to sit outside. read more
