We purchased the breakfast package with our stay at the Avista. During peak season they offer a buffet, but this time of year guests must order from a limited menu. I'm not a fan of eggs, and unfortunately most of their dishes include them. The hostess was kind and friendly, and I asked about the buffet. She explained they weren't offering it because too much food was being wasted--I completely understood. The first morning, I wanted to order from the A La Carte menu, but the waitress told me I could only choose one item from the entire menu. I ended up ordering the "Early Risers" meal with eggs, bacon, and home fries. The only things I ate were the bacon and toast with jelly. In my opinion, the home fries tasted like leftovers from a previous day. Because we had the breakfast package, I spoke with the hotel staff. They suggested I talk to the restaurant manager. The manager told me I was actually allowed to order four items from the A La Carte menu, such as a protein, two sides, and toast. For the remaining mornings, I ordered bacon or ham, grits, fruit, and toast. One morning, I tried to substitute fruit for eggs on a breakfast platter. The waitress checked and said, "No--they're not the same price," because eggs were $2.00 and fresh fruit was $2.50. Another day, I ordered a danish from the A La Carte menu. It was so hard and dry it was not edible. My final morning, I ordered "The Carolina Morning," which includes two biscuits with sausage gravy. We had a new waitress, so I asked what I could get in place of eggs. She was very accommodating and offered fresh fruit without hesitation. However, the biscuits were so hard that even a knife couldn't cut them. When I sent them back, I was told fresh biscuits would take 3-4 minutes, but instead I chose to reorder several items from the A La Carte menu. The only items I can truly recommend from the breakfast package are the grits and the fresh fruit. Everything else was inconsistent at best. read more

Service was great and food was fabulous. I got the meatloaf lunch. What a meal!!!!! Large portions.

Food wasn't that great! Service wasn't that great! I ordered the phillycheese steak it was horrible they didn't offer anything more or even have a manager come talk to us. The gentleman just said "I'm sorry" we waited a long time for our food and never brought our salads until we asked. Definitely won't eat here again​​ read more

Hidden gem! Ran wonderfully. Gorgeous lighting and delicious food. The chef is top notch. The buffet is perfect. Their food is thoughtfully made and has never disappointed. I usually don't eat at the hotel we are staying at, but this place rocks. read more

Maybe something other than dinner might be okay. The people in our party of 9 who had seafood were ALL sick the next morning. My b/f and I ordered prime rib, which was not fresh. I'm betting it was reheated. We both asked for medium rare and received well done. The asparagus was good. My grandson said the cheeseburger he had was good. That was the exception. My great grandson ordered chicken fried steak medium rare, which was well done also. My sister ordered the fish and chips. She said the fish tasted good. So take your chances, but just don't order the seafood. I'm sure Gordon Ramsey or Robert Irvine would have a field day to feature them. And, I wish they would. read more

Surprising delicious food for an "in hotel" dining experience! So good we went back twice during our stay for dinners! (The breakfast buffet served here was a bit disappointing and pales in comparison to the dinner). We had perfectly cooked steak, a fabulous pot roast, and a creamy pasta with chicken dish similar to an Alfredo that was mouthwatering good! The vegetables were fresh, crisp and cooked perfectly! Our server, Briana was the best part of our dining experience! Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

The new manager is trash. Avoid the chicken pasta at all cost. You can tell a distinct difference when it comes to the taste of the food when he is in the kitchen compared to the Jamaican chef. He needs to stay out of the kitchen. This place is not customer service oriented. The greeter was cool but again the manager could be heard raising his voice in the kitchen. This place will not last. read more

Food wasn't bad but the service was awful. Our food took 1.5 hours and half of our party was completely done eating when the other half of the food came out. In all honesty probably the worst service I've ever had at a restaurant. read more

I can't believe how poor this restaurant is! We ordered room service during the first night of a marriage retreat! It was supposed to be romantic and comfortable. I decided to go all out and order the surf and turf, which comes with "6 ounces of seared shrimp" instead of lobster. When the food arrived at the room there was only steak and NO shrimp! We called the restaurant and they got confrontational and said that we had shrimp. We adamantly told them no. Then they said they'd send some up. After waiting they sent up 7 small shrimp which did not weigh anywhere near 6 oz! I feel so ripped off! We'll be here for three more nights but hell would freeze before I ordered here again. Also, I'd give zero stars if it were possible. Actual photo of the shrimp that arrived attached. read more

Ate in the restaurant (1st floor), Just off Main, in the Avista Resort. Chef was running a special Prime Rib and sides for $14.95. Not bad but not was I was in the mood for. Wanted something light since we came into town kind of late. Ended up having fried flounder sandwich, my son got shrimp platter and mom got she crab soup. Restaurant pretty good, definitely will eat here again. read more

Jim E. the business manager gets one star for making false statements and contradicting accurate reviews by patrons. Don't say the AC was not broken. Your are not accurate. On the 1 day we stopped into the restaurant for breakfast, 10/9/21, it was way too warm in the room. We were told by the server, Hassan, that the AC had been broken for two days. In addition, Hassan was our server who never checked back regarding our order after the food runner dropped off the sub-standard order to us. We had ordered off the menu. Why should we be expected to go the breakfast bar to get salt/pepper, catsup and jelly? Jim E. should be reprimanded for making BS excuses for the Avista mistakes. Get out of your office. read more

I have been to this restaurant every year for 6 years and oh man have they stepped it up. It went from mediocre to amazing. The have a chef who comes out to your table to check on you at dinner. The breakfast buffet has quiche Yes quiche. I'm not going to lie the menu is pricey it was 48 dollars for breakfast for 4 and 80 for dinner for 4 but it was delicious!! read more

A very pleasant surprise. Our first night of three, we decided to stay in the hotel for dinner rather than go out in traffic. We ordered from the evenings specials menu - the prime rib was excellent, as described in another recent review and the southern fried buttermilk chicken with risotto, which I tried on a whim, was also excellent and novel with a burred of pecans. It all came together very nicely. Dinner was so enjoyable and the prices so reasonable that we decided to come back both of the next two nights of our stay. Again we chose from the evening's specials and we're not disappointed. Although it seemed slow coming from the kitchen, each plate we were served was attractively plated and freshly prepared. Definitely try the Charleston she-crab soup. Very delicate and more crab than we've ever been served in a cup of soup. The creme brulee and the southern bread pudding were innovative and delicious. Pamela was our server each night and did an excellent job of taking care of us. We appreciate her attention and knowledge of the chef's special offerings. If you're leery of eating in a hotel restaurant, don't be leery of this one. If we're back in the area we'll try some more of the dinner specials. read more

Good food and great service. Has one of the specialty burgers and cheesecake for dessert. Our waitress Stela was awesome very attentive and helpful. read more

This is/was the worst restaurant experience we have ever had. Ordered our food and waited and waited and waited, finally after 44 minutes and watching other people get their food, I asked a lady , whom I assumed was the manager about our food, she apologized and said the waitress had forgotten to put it in. She said we were next. By the way this was afte waiting on drink refills for 15-20 minutes. Then after another 15 minutes the brought out the food for the table right by us who had arrived 40 minutes after us and orcelas almost the same food we had ordered! We finally just got up and walked out . Resort was great except for this place. read more

The Food (burger) was delicious and I'm picky about a good burger. The staff is the best. Everyone was super friendly. Our waitress Pamela was very helpful and always there when we needed her. We will eat here a lot when we are at NMB . read more

This restaurant is located in the Avista resort, where we were staying. We went for convenience one night for dinner,,and we're surprised by the quality! The fettuccine Alfredo was excellent, and the seafood sampler was fried perfectly. The breading was light, not thick, and not greasy. The shrimp were cooked perfectly. And the service was attentive and pleasant. Definitely recommend! read more

Perfectly fine lunch or dinner if you're staying at Avista I suppose context is everything but we enjoyed our dinner at Just off Main. Nothing special but it was reasonable food at a good price with great service in our hotel. The Chicken Parmesan special was a great deal and the French Onion soup and Caprese salad were both tasty. And after surveying our post-swim late lunch options in the North Myrtle Beach downtown nothing stood out as being particularly better when it was time for dinner. I can't speak to the breakfast buffet since we don't usually do those. But if you're staying at Avista I wouldn't hesitate to grab lunch or dinner here. read more

Maybe they were having an off night, but my meal was not good. The "biscuits" that were brought out prior to the meal were cold and too salty. I ordered a Southeast Burger with fries. The bacon jam tasted like the bun had been slathered with some kind of super sweet maple syrup. The burger was overcooked and not hot. The best part was the fried egg. The fries that came with it were cold so I am guessing you see a trend here. My mom just got soup and liked it so that's why I'm giving them two stars. For the high prices here, you're better off going somewhere else. read more

I stayed at the Avista resort, so naturally we ventured in for a quick lunch before heading back to the beach. The menu has too many items, so I was relieved when the waitress made suggestions. We tried a salad and a shrimp wrap. Both were very tasty which was surprising because the restaurant is always empty. Service was quick, so we were in and out in less than 45 minutes. read more

Ordered a chicken quesadilla to take back to the pool/beach area.. It was ok, not great not terrible. Service was good and fast, girl who took my order and brought food out was nice and polite. Overall I would recommend trying something else if you have to eat here. read more

Our last night here we had our anniversary dinner here and it was really good. Our waitress Jeri was awesome,she was very nice and was there whenever we needed anything,we will definitely be back. read more

The menu looks way fancier than it is. The Reuben was good, burger was good. Don't bother with the steak if you are picky. Staff is spectacular read more

Been going here for years it is a shame this place has gone down. The last time I was there they did not have three items I tried to order. This year I understand the problems with everything going on . However the menu was terrible the one thing I wanted again they did not have. The service was VERY slow. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! read more

Restaurant was very nice. We had the Wednesday special of Prime Rib $13.95. It was the best prime rib I've ever had. The steak was big and juicy served with aujus and a baked potato. The potato is really baked. Crispy on the out side a fluffy on the inside. It came with veggies, but I had a nice side salad of fresh greens. Great staff and very nice atmosphere. We enjoyed the quaintness of the smaller restaurant and nice music. Not loud at all. We would definitely come to this restaurant again. read more

This is the restaurant at the Avista resort. Terrible, terrible terrible. Stopped in for breakfast and had the buffet. Eck. We should have gotten a clue by the fact there was only 2 other people eating here at 8:30 in the morning. The scrambled eggs were tasteless, the bacon and eggs were at room temperature and the bacon tasted like it was cooked in yesterday's grease. Truly inedible. Jump in your car and drive down main or 17 for anyone of the dozen or so other breakfast places read more

My family and I ate here twice once for dinner and once for breakfast. Dinner was great we had baby back ribs that where very tasty. Kia our server did everything that she could to keep up with her tables and was very personable. The restaurant clearly needs more help. The next day we ate breakfast here. The service was lacking. The food was ok but far from what a restaurant should provide. Wr had to ask 4 times to get the check. The waiter was confused when we asked for eggs. Just not a real good experience. Overall this place has potential but needs new management and more staff. read more

Me and the wife stopped here for a quick bite on a beach day. They food was good. Not the best but it didn't taste bad. Staff was very friendly and we were seated and served very quickly. read more

Waited 40 minutes for burnt and over cooked food. Waitress wasn't very nice or attentive, whole table was out of water for 15 minutes. Way to expensive for the food that showed up on our plates. read more

Great food and service at the pool side adult bar. Kat was extremely friendly and a great source of info. Always had a smile for us and remembered our names (and drinks). The food was tasty and a surprise given it's typical "bar food". Recommend getting the drink buckets for re-use purposes. read more

The food was very good and the portions were more than enough. The atmosphere was good. Desert was fantastic. I had the peach cobbler. But maybe the best part of dinner was the friendly service from Stela. She was an absolute delight. She was polite and always smiling. Thank you. read more

My friends and I had an awesome experience last night at Just off Main restaurant in the Avista Resort. It was a birthday dinner for my friend and it was absolutely awesome. We were greeted at our table by Chef Michael Gadson. The presentation of the food, and customer service from the employees was a 10. The taste was exquisite as the flavors danced around on our pallets. The portion size was just right (I have a big appetite) I definitely recommend this restaurant to all patrons...both in the area and staying at the resort. read more

We were staying at Avista and thought we would grab a bite in the restaurant. The menu was awesome, but we decided on burgers. They offer several specialty burgers, which are huge, and not only is the presentation awesome but the burgers are great! The service was fast and friendly. We'll try breakfast in the morning! read more

Wow! We decided to have dinner in after a walk on the beach. So we came to Just Main, we had a great experience from Mrs. CJ who greeted us in to our waitress Mrs. Jari right down to Mr. Kevin who is an awesome Chef. Chef Kevin made the special of the day which was crab macaroni and cheese, it was very delicious! Great place to eat with friendly people. I look forward to coming back! read more

Had dinner here and lunch during our stay. My husband and I had the prime rib special and it was yummy. The lunch was just for me, mama needed a break, I had the Cobb salad and it was delicious. The chef came by my table and checked on me, that sort of thing doesn't happen often nowadays. He was so sweet and sent me a wonderful desert. Stela was our waitress the first visit and Meka was my lunch waitress. Both of them were super sweet. I also want to mention the hostesses, they made sure everything was right and were very nice. This place is a hidden gem, a place were they show you they actually care that you walked through their door. Thanks again, Annette. read more

I had heard from a fellow traveler that the food was pretty good, so I made a special point to stop in for lunch. There weren't many people in the dining room, so the service was very attentive. The menu offered several creative variations on the hamburger, and a giant reuben sandwich, but I opted for the pimento cheese sandwich with tomato bisque. WOW. Spread the word! read more

Just ordered our breakfast from here and had it to go to our room. We had eggs, grits, hash browns, toast, biscuits, bacon. Service was friendly and fast. Food was good and hot! Good place to eat. read more
