Rating: 3.5 / 5 Margaritaville is a very touristy type destination, so when rating it, i kept that in mind. We popped in on a hot summer day to try and escape the heat. Unfortunately it wasnt too much of an escape as the AC had broken. Highly themed and there was a lady on stilts walking around making balloon animals. And despite the heat, the staff was very friendly and stayed on top of the drinks. The food was pretty mid though. Largely tasted like classic Sysco food with a premium price tag. We got a basic cheeseburger and the trio appetizer. The fries were good, but the rest was Sysco quality. I did enjoy the experience enough to be satisfied. read more

What a miss. Food was below avg while prices were above. No chicken on my salad bring it back 2 minutes later with some cold chicken on it. Club sandwich but no bacon? . What's the point. Tourist trap. read more

This restaurant is located next to the aquarium at boardwalk on the beach. It is a major shopping and restaurant outdoor mall surrounding a man-made lake. It can be busy so be prepared for crowds just getting there. Having been to other Margaritaville locations I will do them a favor and just judge it against other locations. For those of you that have never been to one you are literally coming here for the vibe and the name on the wall, you can buy a way better hamburger for 20+ dollars somewhere else. Shoot, Five Guys crushes their burgers. For everyone else that is familiar with the business scheme of this restaurant let's look at simple facts and match them up. I was shocked at how run down they have let this spot get and the size of the lunch crowd reflected it. The service was perfectly fine although they took forever closing us out. Food came out fast but these places used to offer quality along with variety on the menu. The food is so heavily commercialized and processed now you are just paying for name and location. Having been in the restaurant business I can easily tell what is fresh and what comes out of bags. If I get a rebuttal that says their food is fresh made to order then that is an even bigger indictment of the cooking. This one isn't by a real beach and as I said it's run down for being in a heavily visited tourist zone. Clearly just relying heavily on company name and legacy. My wife was excited to come here and left really disappointed. I had what amounts to two frozen burger patties, lazy toppings, and what I can only assume was a salad that came out of a bag. You can pay the same money and find a lot better options down here. read more

Happy Birthday to Me Vacationing in Myrtle Beach, SC. It was fun sitting at the bar then waiting for a table. The atmosphere was energetic with the different televisions having sports on especially the Baseball All Star game. Good food and good conversation. The service was excellent. I made sure I got my t-shirt before we left. read more

This was a fun restaurant with a great indoor and outdoor vibe. On a busy spring break week, the wait for 3 was about 40 minutes. The outdoor bar staff, the hosts, and the servers were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We had an entertainer making balloon animals waking around on stilts which was fun to watch. The server handled food allergy concerns respectfully. The food was gross. My daughter ordered the chicken fingers kids meal and it was dried out and did not taste good. My other daughter ordered Mac and cheese and it was noodles with shredded cheese melted on it. I ordered jambalaya and it was dried out, chicken and sausage tasted like it was over microwaved from multiple reheats. Food took about 40 minutes to arrive. For tourist prices, I expected better food. We paid and left our food and went to search for something else. read more

I realize this is a tourist trap but it's nice to sit at the bar and enjoy a tropical drink. We had the Havanas and Bananas and Ruby Red Renegade. It was 11:30 on a Friday. The female bartender didn't seem to want to be there. She barely engaged and wasn't the friendliest. The male bartender was more attentive and actually talked to us. read more

We been there recently and the stuff ( bartender ) was very rude and disrespectful. He was ignoring and was talking very rude. I wouldn't recommend their bar table and not sure about other parts. Definitely not good service ! read more

Love the vibe here really Jimmy Buffet chillville! Burgers were excellent, juicy and tender. Garlic aoli was so good! Fries were crisp. Drinks were not shy on alcohol but were well balanced and perfectly flavored. Highly recommend dinner and drinks here. One of my favorite restaurants in Myrtle Beach. read more

If I could rate them zero stars, I would. Three of us came in here on a Saturday evening to have one drink, and the staff was absolutely rude. We sat at the very end of the bar, and I'm only assuming the staff was tired, but they basically said we were too loud. No one was around us. Even one of the bartenders was shocked. Jimmy would be disappointed! Not worth the $18 drinks, that's for sure. read more

The food was great. Our waitress was training, and you'd never know! She was superb! We enjoyed the atmosphere and the drinks! read more

Stay away from the Caribbean egg rolls, they was nothing Caribbean about them, Applebee's southwest roll are better. With that said the fish tacos and Asian chicken salad was good. Service was good, checked on you periodically without disturbing the meal. Ambiance was nice read more

My friend said she had a good meal here 10 years ago so we decided to try it again. Typical touristy place with food that "fills the hole" as my husband says about food that just satisfies hunger but is just ok. The best item was their perfect margarita. It was good but $14. I got the fish and chips ($23) and my fries were barely warm. I did point it out to the waitress and she brought newer ones... still not crunchy or hot.... but a bit warmer. My friend got the chicken stir fry which the waitress had warned her it was spicy... it wasn't AT ALL. In fact, it was sweet. There was only a tiny bit of rice. We were both disappointed. There were girls on stilts making balloon animals. One girl was in a skirt and I thought that was tacky since folks could likely look up her skirt. At the end, the waitress asked us to please give her a good Google review so that she could get a free T-shirt and handed us a QR code to scan. Businesses are basically bribing their customers or employees when they do stuff like this and skew their ratings. This skews the review from being honest as the customer feels like they should "do their server a solid" by giving a good rating or by not wanting to affect their job. It seems I've heard of this happening more often with Google reviews - that's one reason I don't trust Google reviews. Yelp is more honest IMO. read more

Came to Myrtle for the day and walked all over Broadway and decided to stop here grab some late lunch before heading home. It was prob last couple calmer days before spring crowds come hit the area and not as slammed busy which I was happy for. Lucy was our waitress and she was very sweet and helpful. We were seated as soon as we walked in. It was around 2 pm and a beautiful warm day. They had not opened outdoor seating yet but we got a great view by window. I recall seeing the hurricane thing before but still very cool to see if come down and fill the blender lol.. my son got a burger and cooked to perfection he said. I got the coconut shrimp and boy they were huge! Half size of my hand!! Very flavorful! Came with a spicy sweet dipping sauce I couldn't get enough of! Lucy came by frequently to make sure our drinks were full and we were happy with our choices. We had very nice visit today . read more

The food here was overall pretty good. Not a huge variety on food but plenty of drinks. We waited 20 minutes to be seated and didn't seem to be crazy busy. There is a lady who makes balloons and it was a big hit for our toddler. I wasn't crazy about where we sat, we were seated three across. Otherwise the atmosphere is pretty cool with a large spinning hurricane on the ceiling and a giant blender that fills up. read more

Margaritaville Myrtle Beach SC 3-2-25 We had to try this one and it did not disappoint. We arrived on a Sunday around 12:15pm and this place was just about full, but we got seated right away. I love the decor and it had such a great vibe with Jimmy Buffet music playing in the background. Our waiter Joesph was fast to get our drinks. I ordered the Chipotle Steak Bowl with extra Steak and my wife got the Beach Club with Fries. Our food came our fast enough and it looked amazing. My Steak Bowl was hot and very tasty and plenty of Steak in it which was done to perfection. My wife's Beach Club was huge and very good, her Fries were terrific. We had to get a to go box as we could not eat all of it. I must give this place a 5 out of 5 stars because of the tasty food great atmosphere and good service. I can't wait to go back.

Have to be honest the ambience would get them five stars. The service three stars the food -2 it was awful. I was so looking forward to go in there because of the name I got the coconut shrimp. It was terrible. Red lobster is borderline good but their coconut shrimp is to die for compared to this. The dipping sauce felt like it was squeezed from one of those packets you get from a fast food joint it was terrible. Salad did not have enough dressing. Seafood pasta was mediocre and I ended up with the worst heartburn. I've had in 10 years. It was awful do better. read more

The food was delicious. I had the Jerk salmon. It was cooked so well and the glaze was spectacular. Paired with some rice and good greens (spinach) it was a fresh taste. The service was excellent and the ambiance was such a treat. Good vibes overall and good food 8/10. read more

Solid first experience. Our server, Dustin, was very friendly and kept up with us well. The food was delicious. My wife, accordingly, had a "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and I had the grilled Mahi tacos. Both were great. I appreciated the calories on the menu as well. The interior of the restaurant was interesting to look at. Had a very cool moving "hurricane" on the ceiling. There was also a girl walking around on stilts making balloon sculptures for the kids. Overall, we were very pleased and will definitely consider returning on another visit. read more

Mike W. Was our server! Whomever hired him is a genius, for starters. He is what I would expect at a Ruth's Chris. He is kind, attentive and knowledgeable on the menu and drinks. I was unsure of what I wanted and he asked me two questions and came back with a Coconut Telegraph that hit the spot! The food, ALWAYS amazing and the venue is fun for all ages. You just CAN NOT go wrong. read more

First off sit at the bar! Have Slick make your margaritas! Best Ive had in 20 years, and so needed on this hot and humid day at the corvette show. We had egg rolls, chicken quesadilla, and a platter with a little bit of everything. I will say food was not that great. Quality nor taste. I would definitely came back for the margaritas though. Slick gets 5 starts for sure, and bathrooms were nice and clean. We got there right at 11am. read more

Food was cold as it was not served to us for over an hour and a half. We were told there were some high profile customers that they were taking care of first. The food that was served was mediocre at best and the prices are outrageous! I have been to several Margaritavilles across the country and have never been disappointed before. We talked to the server and she just said sorry. We asked for a manager and he said there was nothing he could do because they already ran our cards to pay. Then he came back and said he would reverse the first charge and run it thru with a 15% discount. Our bill went from$106 to$100. That math isn't mathing. To top it of, when we returned from our vacation almost a week later, there were two charges on our credit card. The original and the corrected one! Do not recommend this place! read more

Over priced for the crap they served us. Tacos were missing cilantro. Buffalo dip a crust over the top from sitting under the heat lamp, nacho chip thick corn chips that were out of the bag and stale. Drinks are over priced. Waited forever for our food. read more

We came on vacation with my grandparents and we had to wait 30 minutes for a table on a Thursday at 1pm. Then once seated a server didn't come for 12 more minutes. No introduction nor friendliness. All the tables around us were dirty and not cleaned. No music playing the restaurant and if it was it was much too quiet. Very disappointed in the value for the food and the photos of the food for the menu should be updated to accurately show the food being served. Nachos were very bare when you got off the top layer. read more

I was really excited to visit Margaritaville, but the experience was a huge letdown. We waited an hour and a half just to be seated, which was frustrating. On top of that, the chef didn't seem to know how to make anything properly, and the service was incredibly slow. Overall, it was a disappointing visit that didn't live up to the hype at all. read more

Me and my friend went to have a good meal and a fun experience it was not that to say the least. We ordered a chicken sandwich and a cheese burger, hard to mess up right. We waited for an hour and 20 minutes after ordering food. The waitress was no where to be seen ran out of drinks we never got refilled. The food was so gross it had no flavor it tasted exactly like cardboard we had to put salt on the fries from how bland they were. It was extremely overpriced it was 31$ for my Chiken sandwich and drink I didn't get an alcoholic beverage either. Terrible experience highly do not recommend. read more

I was excited to visit Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville for the first time while in Myrtle beach, but the food was honestly subpar. I understand that the visit might be just for the experience, but even that was a let down. It seemed so tacky, and their biggest attraction is a hurricane that drops tequila into a blender. The food was not great, we ordered the nachos, which looks grand but was so dry, and they didn't layer the toppings into the chips. I also ordered their appetizer trio that came with Tex mex eggrolls which were dry, chicken tenders that I could've made myself at home and more chips to go with the dip. The service was very good, and attentive, but overall, so overpriced for not wonderful food. You'll be spending at least $50 for a not very wonderful experience, when you could be spending that elsewhere. My advice, walk in to watch their "hurricane" for pics and walk right back out! read more

The food was okay. Nothing out of this world. I think people mainly come here for the decor. They have a pretty neat set up. Our waiter was nice. Although I did ask for a new piña colada virgin. My boyfriend asked for a non virgin one. When they brought our drinks out they gave me the non virgin. Keep in mind that I gave my 1 year old baby a taste thinking it was the virgin one. It made me super upset. I am also breastfeeding. I don't think we'll be coming back here next time we are in Myrtle. read more

I have celiac and was able to get a cheeseburger (gluten free bun) and fries. There were excellent.

Great food. Everything was great. Good atmosphere very friendly staff and love the girl on stilts walking around making balloon animals.

I've been to Margaritaville in Florida, and thought we would be in good hands here too.. no. The best thing about this location was our waiter, the host was rude & threw our menus down. & not to mention the food felt way over priced for the taste... I could've cooked better food at home. But good luck! read more

This place absolutely messed up our 12 top. We had a great time walking in and ordering drinks. Waitress was super nice. We placed apps and food at the same time and never got our apps. First the apps were going to be comped. The chef actually told us they cancelled them. This was a horrible experience and a terrible waste of time coming here. We drove over 30+ minutes to go through crap! read more

Well, let's just say it is completely overpriced for subpar, kinda gross food. really. this was a shadow of what used to be a fun, lively establishment, with what used to be pretty decent food for a chain restaurant. I was truly disgusted. And we only went for an app! How to screw up nachos: add chips, cold cheese, hide the chili and add a teaspoon of guac & sourcream. Cold, not melted cheese, seriously? & you charge $25?! truly gross. We will NOT be going back...ever. I would give zero stars if I could! read more

No substitutions on meals. Service is really slow. Waitress didn't understand English. They push you to order your meal before getting your drinks and appetizers. Then bring out meals sporadically with one person getting a meal and then 5 minutes later they bring the other meals for others at your table. I will not go back ever again. It's a tourist trap. High priced= terrible service. read more

While vacationing near MB, my kids and their friends wanted to go to Broadway at the beach and insisted we go to margaritavile. We waited a little over an hour for our table. It was quite crowded. The hosts all seem to be annoyed. Our server, however, was wonderful! I wish I had gotten her name! She was so polite, sweet and attentive! Our water cups never ran dry! For appetizers we had the chicken quesadilla and the friend pickles. Both were good and came out promptly. We proceeded to wait over 30 min for our main meal. The food was just ok. I asked for my burger medium and it definitely rare! The fries were just ok. Everyone's means were fine, nothing to write home about but we weren't expecting gourmet. The restaurant has a lot going on, definitely sensory overload! We were happy to be in the outside enclosure. We went once, and I don't know that we would go back. read more

We were here off season in late February and the restaurant was short handed. Jack our server was very busy. Jack was helpful and friendly. It took a long time to get our food. We all loved the Cajun Shrimp Dip and Jack brought us some extra bread so everyone could try it. The Appetizer Trio was over cooked. My wife liked the Hot Honey Chicken sandwich which had a delicious sweet & spicy sauce. The Grilled Fish Tacos were tasty but the rice was too hard to eat. The chicken in the Pacific Chicken Stir Fry was tender and had sweet Szechuan flavor unfortunately this rice was also too hard to eat. The kids loved their fruity Island Coconut Refresher mocktails. The 5OClock Somewhere drink was strong and it had a yummy complex taste. The ambiance was subdued because the hurricane blender is still broken. read more

Food wasn't the most impressive, but I wouldn't say anything bad about it either. The service was good, and our server was friendly. The inside of the restaurant was decorated pretty cool... with a couple tables inside of boats. The key lime pie martini is the best drink I've ever had in my life. If it wasn't $16 or $18 I would've had a second! I would probably go back for drinks if we're in Myrtle Beach again. read more

So I was very disappointed when we had ordered drinks and considering the price that we paid and my whole drink was nothing but ice. I literally took like two or three sips, and there was no more drink left so I feel like Margaritaville is really has been taking advantage of the customers even though the food was good and the atmosphere is always pleasant. They should've tried to make it right, which they did not. read more
