    Maryland Fried Chicken is listed as one of the quintessential eateries in Myrtle Beach. If that's any indication, their culinary scene is atrocious. When you walk into this modest little joint, you think you've stumbled onto a hidden gem masquerading as a hole in the wall. It's not. Fried chicken batter should be crispy and crunchy. But I found an adjective that I never thought would describe fried chicken batter, leathery! I would have needed a steak knife to efficiently pierce this chicken batter, similar to the pigskin of a football and way oversalted and uncomfortably greasy. The mac and cheese is straight out of a Kraft mac and cheese box, and the fries certainly came from the frozen section of the local supermarket. This is not the real fried chicken I eat in Alabama and Tennessee, so I cannot recommend this place in good conscience. Note: Always trust Yelp over TripAdvisor and Google reviews, because this site is far more accurate. Case in point, Yelpers appropriately rate Maryland Fried Chicken below four stars while the other sites yield a preposterous 4.5 rating!

    Liver and gizzards

    Delicious fried chicken! The liver and gizzards were so good my husband ate them all before getting out of the car, great customer service and if you call in your order you can get your food faster. Love it!!!!!!

    Staff were very courteous, food was great (had the 3 drumstick special). More of a take out place but has a sit in area, nothing fancy but gets the job done. I would definitely return, good chicken.

    Judging by how packed it appeared inside, from the outside, I had to check things out for myself. The fried chicken not the fried livers, met my expectations. The chicken was pretty, but lacked seasoning. The rice & gravy was pretty good, but could've used a little something. The fried livers didn't have any seasoning to me. Even after using hot sauce, it didn't change the taste. The customer service was great. The inside only holds about 7/8 tables; mostly only accommodating no more than two.

    I had the taste for fried chicken and I was not disappointed! Friendly nice service and very quick! The chicken was still hot and fresh when we got to the hotel. Seasoned well and juicy! The sides Mac n cheese and potatoes were good, but they both taste like box food. The corn fritter was delicious! My sides were not as warm as I like but still good. The cost was reasonable compared to another soul food place and I'd come back here!

    From the moment we walked in the restaurant and Jake welcomed us. We knew we were in for a treat…read more Jake set us at an oceanfront window. There was also live music the evening we were there which was just lovely. Steven, our server shared the evening specials and was very attentive to us throughout our meal. Our table enjoyed delicious margaritas, the Autumn Power salad - fresh spinach, dried cranberries, fresh apple slices, and a refreshing dressing. The crab legs were delicious, two clumps with butter and lemons. We also had the shrimp and fries- 8 large shrimp lightly breaded with shoestring fries. Our land lover enjoyed the Reel burger- a juicy combination of chuck and brisket cooked to order. The bun was toasted and held up well to the burger. Overall the experience was very enjoyable.

Whoever thought to make it savory instead of sweet missed the mark. The flavors of the slaw clashed with the rest of the plate. The fish was tasty and the chips were seasoned well and plentiful. We could return here and feel ok with it.

We were promptly seated and drink orders were taken. The waiter reappeared about 15 mins later with drinks and cheese rolls and took the table's order. We settled on the Aspen family meal which consisted of 2 meats and 4 sides. We chose smothered pork tenderloin and fried chicken along with mac 'n cheese, collard greens, fried okra and candied yams. Fried chicken was awesome, crispy, with an assortment of dark and white meat pieces. We were looking for a knife because of the pork tenderloin and realized you don't need it. It was that tender. You could cut it with a fork and it too was awesome. Everyone raved about all the side items except the mac & cheese it was a bit on the bland side so it was not our favorite. There was no need for a refill of any of the food. The first round was very ample sized and everyone left very satisfied. And if I have a bit of feedback, our waiter was not attentive unlike the waitress serving the tables in our same area. He was didn't bother to come back and see if we needed a refill on any of the drinks or the food. The only disappointing thing was they no longer offer you a small sample size dessert to finish up your meal. It's been a while since I've dined here so I'm not sure how long that change has been in place. However, we understand the food industry continues to be impacted by the current economy. Overall, the restaurant was very clean, including the restrooms. It's a nice place to feed a large family who hates buffets.

Will say the area, the location, the draw and the atmosphere is fantastic, but not the food. Our family left disappointed by the overall quality of the meal, particularly given the establishment's reputation and the high price point. The cost for 4 people exceeded our expectations an amount that felt disproportionate to the overall experience provided. The service was adequate. Our waitress was courteous, but could have kept up on our drink refills. The food fell significantly short of our heightened anticipation. Dishes arrived at the table within minutes of ordering, far quicker than would be consistent with individual dish preparations. This is served family style with options of your main courses and sides. The okra was good, but had some very hard pieces. I bit down on one that was so hard it could have broken a tooth. Green beans were decent, but extremely salty. The creamed potatoes were the best thing in my opinion and we were able to be served both the white & brown gravy's. The fried chicken was so dry and uneatable, with extremely minimal flavor and texture that did not meet standard expectations for Southern-style preparation. We realized after the fact: you can request the chicken parts. The macaroni & cheese tasted mushy offering little depth of homemade character. The biscuits were also very dry. They looked great, but tasted bland. The fried fish & tartar sauce was probably the most memorable dish. However, not everyone in our party had it because they do not like it. There's other options for "main" choices, but you'll have to compromise as a group. You'll have to do the same as far as the sides too! I would not recommend Paula Deen's Family Restaurant based on this visit and would advise potential patrons to consider other options for Southern comfort food while in Myrtle Beach. There are many more options within this great broad-walk complex. That said, I would suggest shopping in the gift store located in the downstairs of the building, as there are lots of merchandise that represents Paula Deen far better than her eatery. * If you happen to be a Food Network FAN (like I am). Flavor Town is coming to the other side of town. Location will be at the Myrtle Beach Mall & will open in June 2026*

We sat in the high-top bar area, which was noticeably loud, and while the screened outdoor section offers great views, it was a bit too warm to be completely comfortable. Service was attentive throughout the meal, and the drinks were well-made. My wife ordered the prime rib and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the seafood medley over angel hair pasta. The seafood itself was cooked very well--the shrimp, scallops, and mussels were tender -- but the overall dish was lacking in flavor and could have used more seasoning. Overall, we enjoyed our experience. If you're already in North Myrtle Beach, it's worth a visit for the atmosphere, drinks, and solid service. However, if you're driving a significant distance specifically for dinner, there are several other restaurants in the area offering better food at a similar price point.
