Went with several people and we were seared immediately. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. I ordered she crab soup and a blackened shrimp quesadilla. My granddaughter ordered potato skins and loaded potato soup. Her loaded potato soup had way more flavor than the she crab soup. My quesadilla was simply blackened shrimp and cheese. No other flavors so kind of bland. The potato skins on the other hand were full of flavor and enough to make a meal. All and all I would probably return but would go over the menu more carefully next time. In all fairness, blackened shrimp quesadillas were not on the menu so it was a special order. Maybe I should have asked for some type of sauce on it. read more

J. Peters Grill & Bar is a pretty standard casual dining spot that doesn't really stand out compared to other local options in the area. The food overall is just okay.. nothing particularly memorable or something that would make you want to rush back. The one consistent highlight is the house salad, which is "hot bacon" and unique compared to the rest of the menu. Beyond that, most dishes tend to feel average, the Alfredo is just ok and while nothing is necessarily bad, there's not much that elevates the experience either. The environment also doesn't do much to enhance the visit. It's fairly plain, dark black, and lacks any real character or atmosphere that makes it feel special or worth choosing over other nearby restaurants. Overall, it's an "it's fine" kind of place; serviceable if you're already there, but there are plenty of stronger local spots worth going to first. read more

My wife and I came in for the Happy Hour Prime Rib special, but I'm pretty sure we accidentally unlocked a secret menu item called "Prime Rib‑Flavored Ham... or Ham‑Flavored Prime Rib... or Possibly a Meat Loaf Witness Protection Program." The slice looked perfectly smooth, like it had been sanded, buffed, and polished at a body shop. No grain, no marbling -- just one solid, uniform slab of mystery protein. When I cut into it, it didn't behave like beef. It behaved like... well... a meat eraser. Flavor‑wise, it was extremely salty and had zero beef taste. If someone had blindfolded me and said, "Here, try this thick slice of baked ham," I would've said, "Yep, that's ham." Except I ordered prime rib. To be fair, the service was great, the atmosphere was nice, and everything except the meat was exactly what we expected. But that "prime rib" was the culinary equivalent of being catfished. I truly hope the restaurant takes a look at this dish -- because I'd love to come back and try the real prime rib next time. read more

I went for lunch I ordered the shrimp ad collard greens, shrimp were great collards could have used some bacon but good,it came with a salad which was fresh and tasty. My date had a burger and fries which were very good. all the food was hot and tasty. service was on the spot not slow not fast just right. The place is comfortable and inviting. Will i go back you bet Great food great service and a nice place great lunch. read more

I like this place. Everything i have ever ordered has been excellent. This time was a stinker. Ribs and fries not good the fries were limp and the ribs had no taste at all. The side salad was good. The drinks were cold and tasty. I was really disappointed in the ribs they were a dried up mess. Service was great and the place is comfortable. read more

Went there on May 3, 2026. Was in Bubba's Love Shak in Murrells Inlet and J. Peters provides the food. Had Chicken Quesadilla and French Fries. The chicken was very, very dry and tasted like it had been drenched in salt and the fries were not crisp, very limp. Food tasted like it was sitting around for sometime. read more

We walked right in on a Friday night. My family faves about this place but it was my first time going. I asked the waitress on her favorite dish and she recommended the blackened chicken alfredo with broccoli. It seemed pricey but you do get a lot. The service and waitress were both great. I would go back, but hopefully during happy hour when prices are more reasonable. read more

We have been coming to JR Peters for 5 years. My complaint is that we were charged. 75 for extra small cocktail sauce. Also the meat is overdone and tough. One more thing they charge extra for paying with a card. We're done, taking our business elsewhere. read more

The service was excellent Ava was very nice and checked on us often The table was dirty felt sticky The food was not as good as in the past My salmon was undercooked and had no seasoning and the rice was dry and in clumps My friend ordered the filet well done It came out rare The manager returned it to the kitchen but we weren't sure if it was a new one or the same one but it was extremely dry and difficult to cut read more

I ordered a steak and baked potato on 11/17/25. My baked potato was not cooked thoroughly. My filet was supposed to be medium well. It was medium rare. I could not eat it. Asked to have it cooked some more. Still not right. The waitress said she'd get the manager to remove the fee, but did not do so. I had family from out of town to eat there. I will not bring anyone back. Was very disappointed in the way my food was cooked. read more

They get two stars for excellent service and giant portions. But more doesn't mean good. I ordered a turkey club that I wouldn't have served to my dog. How do you screw up a turkey club?! Owner of this chain needs to go over his menu with a true chef. read more

Literally the worst meal I've ever had! Don't bother wasting your time or money. Better have mini chainsaws to cut the prime rib. Left and actually went to McDonald's. read more

Another great dinner. Sat in the bar this time. The bartender tended bar and took care of service. She did a great job despite cutting her finger on a glass. Ribs were delicious. Potato skins was a nice app. The salad is just great!!! Chicken nachos...next time I'll pass on these. read more

Food has gone down hill. One of my favorite dishes is no longer the quality it was. Menu is cheapened! What happened to the onion straws on the Black n White tuna salad. Taking them away ruined the whole dish. It will be a long time before I go back read more

Nice little restaurant with great service. We had the crab soup and it was delicious. The menu is reasonably priced and had a variety to choose from. Our server was helpful and professional. We would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

We went on a Thursday night for take out and they were moderately busy- we ordered and were on our way home in 15 minutes. Food was delicious. We went back Friday night before 6 pm (early bird specials) they were wall to wall busy. Still only two in our party we were seated within10 minutes. However our server was swamped with new seatings. He was able to get our bar order and food order in a normal amount of time especially being extremely busy. I tried to order a drink my bar tender friend gave me a recipe card for (1-should not have tried on such a busy night-2- almost did not get my recipe card back) after a couple of tries they came pretty close. Dinner came- she-crab soup and blackened tuna salad for me and potato soup and BBQ chicken nachos for my honey. It was all delicious. We also were appreciative that the manager was actually a working manager- she cleared tables, checked on customers and also was the one who got my drink fixed. Suggest going on a slower night - it would be more enjoyable! read more

Outstanding service. Food was great (and plentiful, too). She-crab soup is great. Salads were excellent. Flounder was very tasty. Breaded, not oily. Prices are quite reasonable, especially for a resort city. Would definitely return. read more

I really, really like dining here. They try hard and hit home runs most of the time. Today, however, I came away unimpressed. We had the lunch menu and I got the prime rib. Really good value for $20 with a great side salad as usual. However, they used a lot of garlic in some form or another on the meat, which is an old restaurant trick to make beef that maybe on the elderly side taste better. This certainly reminded me of that. I couldn't eat more than a few bites. Took the remained home and I will try my best to salvage it. Their menu says "Our 14 oz. cut of Prime Rib is seasoned and slow-roasted in our renowned Alto-Sham oven for tenderness and flavor that is unmatched." It says nothing about garlic, another give away. Otherwise, I think you'd be happy eating here and maybe you love garlic on your steak/beef. But, you won't be able to taste the beef which is a shame. read more

Ordered the blackened salmon. The salmon was well cooked but lacked flavor. The broccoli tasted like previously frozen and not fresh. I would not suggest the salmon dish, but their fried shrimp was delicious! The service was prompt and friendly. read more

4.5 stars! Super excited to see J Peter's take over this spot. Even though it is technically a franchise/chain - it's def. a welcome one in the area. The atmosphere is dim/not very decorated but I still felt welcome as was the hostess was very friendly. Large bar in the middle of the restaurant keeping the same layout as the previous chain, but def a bit nicer. (albeit a bit dark/dim lighting) Our server was amazing, friendly yet professional. She greeted us promptly and her check ins on us were timely. She kept our drinks full without our prompting, something always appreciated! I love ribs, LOVE them. And I was a bit hesitant as the description didn't say what size it would be. (quarter rack, half, or full....) For the price I figured a half rack at best - imagine my surprise when a FULL rack of ribs came out looking delicious! The silver skin was still on the ribs sadly, but they were fall off the bone, cooked perfectly with a nice amount of smoke. I had sweet potato waffle fries as my side and they were cooked nice and crisp with a little sprinkling of salt. Husband and sister had the prime rib which was very flavorful and cooked to their requested temp. That went down very easily for them! Brother in law had a massive burger that he enjoyed immensely and the little one had chicken wings and picked on my ribs. We were very satisfied, all around and are so happy to have this as an option in our area. Keeping it from 5 stars was the silver skin still being on my ribs, the chicken wings were pretty sad, the dimness in the restaurant, and décor was a bit "cold" with all of the dark wood. read more

First & last time here. Left before main meals were even served. Ordered appetizers which were not very good. Upon ordering a drink, was told by our server that she would "let my ID slide, but most places wouldn't" & then proceeded to tell me that I better be careful because other places would probably take it away from me because it's fake. After I told her it was real, she repeated that she was letting it slide this time, but most people wouldn't, implying again that it is not a real ID. So what I'm hearing from this is that if someone is underage they might be able to get away with a fake if they are lucky enough to have Amy as their server. My ID is real, but we took our business elsewhere. Ambiance is nothing special, the place is quite outdated. read more

Went to J Peters in Carolina Forest to pick up dinner for my Mom to bring home & when I went on my banking app the next morning I noticed my amount was $5 more then the amount of my pick up order. The Gentleman at the bar that handed me my bill & ran my credit card welcomed himself a $5 tip on a $18takeout order. I spoke to 2 managers a woman by the name Josea (spelling) & a gentleman named Steve. Both were worthless & did absolutely nothing as they both lied to me & told me that the guy behind the bar wasn't in & they also didn't expect me to show up 10 minutes later & saw that employee was indeed there & working. I called another J Peters to speak to an owner which who NEVER called me back. Watch your receipts & your banking account when paying with your card because there a thieves amount us working in these restaurants read more

I've been here many times and the food is always good. I would have given them a much higher score except for the manager Chris who also serves as a cook. We went in for lunch on July 4th. We were the only people in the restaurant at the time. We ordered four meals. Our 90 year old grandmother ordered a bowl of soup and hers didn't come with a salad. I asked the waitress if they would please split my salad into a separate bowl for her and she said "I'll certainly ask". When she brought it out, she had a separate bowl and said the cook wouldn't split it out. She apologized profusely and was clearly embarrassed by his behavior. Remember now that we were the only people in the restaurant. If I was the owner, I'd show this man the door and ask him to go work for the competition. Very disappointing that he couldn't accommodate such a simple request. read more

Went in for a late lunch on a Saturday. It wasn't very busy. The service was excellent. We talked to the two male waiters as it was our first time there. The atmosphere was fun, clean, and welcoming! The food was excellent and at a tremendous value! It's is secluded in the end of a strip of stores so that's tough but it is worth the stop!!!! read more

What a horrible restaurant!!! I took my family of 13 to eat at the Murrells Inlet location and it was a disaster. We were seated upstairs in two separate tables. (We were the only customers upstairs at the time) When we asked if we could move two tables together so we could sit together the manager was adamant we would not be allowed to. She referenced the owner saying he would burn the place down before he would allow tables to be moved. The manager continued to be rude and obnoxious and as someone who has worked with the public for over 20 years if she worked for me she would be fired. The food wasn't great and we had one new server which was of course problematic. He did the best he could! Just an FYI, Dead Dogs just down the street not only have great food and a great vibe, they were willing to move two tables together! 10 Stars! read more

Food was ok . Price is normal and service was ok. Was little disappointing in getting a sald and charging you for $9.99 for a side sald . Same salad you get for a side for a meal. read more

J Just got done eating at this place. Absolutely disappointed. I specifically asked the waitress if the prime rib came rare or bloody. She said I could get it well done if I like. I waited longer than everyone else at my table which is expected and fine. My prime rib came to the table and was medium rare and bloody. I specifically asked if that's the way it came so I could avoid this situation. I told my waitress and all she said was oh sorry. I thought she'd offer to take it off my bill since I didn't even eat one piece. I told her I'd take it home and have to cook it myself but she could've cared less. I was charged full price and at no point did she offer to replace my order or take it off the bill. If they couldn't make it well done you could've just told me and I would've ordered something else. Don't think I'll be coming back here again. $40 spent on something I'll be feeding my dog. Thanks JPeters read more

J Peter’s Grill & Bar - Half of my prime rib. The other half was all fat - Bars Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

We ordered to go. It was around noon on a weekday. We've been to j peters many times and love the lunch specials. We were charged full price for both orders of prime rib. When we questioned it we were told "we should have been sore off in ordering the lunch special". No one has ever even offered us the dinner portion at that hour. But okay....then when we got it home to eat, both were severely overcooked. It was also very tough, it was just a bad cut and combined with being well done inedible. When we called to complain we were told by the woman who too our order that she'd NEVER had anyone complain in her ten plus years of working there. Now, I used to work in the restaurant industry and we just know that is not true. Anyway it seems no one at the restaurant cares as we tried to contact them at least three times very friendly (no attitude). So, I decided to leave a review to spare someone else the disappointment. read more

Would definitely not recommend The food is pretty gross, I found rotten/wilted leafs in my salad and the manger didn't seem surprised or offer any solution (he wouldn't comp it off at I showed him the multiple leafs) the prime rib was very tough/under cooked even after getting a NEW second cut They try to make up with quality by giving very large portions read more

Placed looked closed. Then we sat even with only one other table it took forever for service. Food was ok. Not a great selection. Price was high Maybe they think the area has money but the burger and club were ok. read more

Great experience from the moment we entered and were welcomed by the hostess until the time we left! Service was professional, friendly and prompt. Food was quite tasty starting off with a huge side salad with lots of toppings, fried shrimp lightly breaded were hot and juicy- terrific cocktail sauce! Loaded mashed potatoes were covered with toppings with a large portion! A great experience from start to finish! read more

wings were greasy waiter was poor and very lack luster. We have had this waiter before and he was very unresponsive. read more

Let me preface by saying service was a 6 from Destiny. She was attentive, efficient, and on point. That said, we dined with another couple on this visit, which was our first to this location. Our companions had previously dined at the Murrells inlet location. Short version.... prime rib ordered by two of us was on point and delicious. We had a glitch with one of the sides. However, it was addressed quickly and adequately. My husband's entree was sad and disappointing. Really, for a steakhouse, the cut was terribly inadequate. We might try another location if we hear it's better, but if we do, he won't be ordering the small dried out (med rare ordered) sirloin. read more

I was leaving the dentist when we happened upon J Peters and decided to give it a try. I had a happy hour special and my lunch partner had a club sandwich.

After countless people giving me the run around with this place, we decided to check it out We're greeted by a nice hostess and we were sat immediately, Bruce was our server very amicable person We ordered the She crab soup and the house salad, which came out first, soups had a crab shell in it and salad was fine For dinner we had a prime rip sandwich with broccoli and ah jus and she had the Jpeter burger, my prime rib sand was fine but the burger had no seasoning, only flavor we tasted was ground beef, for dessert we had a banana pudding with no wafers (Bruce got us wafers) and brownie sundae was probably the best part of the meal, overall the service was decent, Bruce was a good server and the food was lackluster for the most part, most of the things on the menu I can make at home, would come here again for dessert, my honest opinion read more
