Visited Paula Deen's Myrtle Beach, SC location on Mother's Day Sunday 2026 around 7pm. The place…read morewas full but there was no wait time for our party of 6 adults. 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.

This was a bucket list for me and unfortunately it wasn't as I had expected. My husband & I were to…read moremeet family for lunch at the Boardwalk and decided on Paula Deen's Family Restaurant. 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*

I was down in Myrtle Beach, SC visiting the folks and since my Mother had an event of her own that…read morenight, my Pop and I decided to go to get something to eat just the two of us. Truth be told there is no shortage of places to dine in Myrtle Beach and for me, I always like to try a new place since it gives me food photos, a new experience and of course the chance to offer up a Yelp narrative and hopefully inspire the masses or heaven forbid, steer people away from the terrible. Pop and I were sat quickly and handed the menu in case we wanted from there over the buffet options but that was what we were here for. We were mostly there based on meatloaf being one of the options that particular night and I was looking forward to something hearty this evening. I made two trips to the buffet line and can say that Magnolia's does this a little differently. The customer doesn't serve themselves but the staff works the line and passes your plate down where each staffer will load up what you ask for. I imagine that this keeps the trays of food neater and not looking like a disaster. Among the choices I made were the mashed potatoes, some mac n cheese, green beans, the meatloaf, a piece of fish and some battered shrimp. All of it was very tasty and I didn't need to go back for a third visit of that stuff but did for the dessert which was banana pudding. I couldn't recall ever having that but I am sure that I did at some point in life. The place wasn't crowded at the time we went and our timing was to hopefully beat the incoming rain which we did not. Once we got outside it had started and by the time we were halfway back it was horrible. That's South Carolina for you though. It will be nice and then rain like nothing you've seen before only to clear up like it never happened. Overall a nice time at Magnolia's and I'd visit again when there is the chance to do so.

The she crab soup was different from the she crab soup I had on Hilton Head. So I've had the soup twice, first time was more like New England clam chowder.

The grouper was cooked perfectly and a nice portion for lunch. Green beans were regular green beans, nothing wrong with that. The rice was also red and I was very happy with it. Very tasty compared to regular rice. I opted for the mango salsa and it was spot on. Our server was very friendly and informed about the menu items and their preparation. I was also happy with the view of the intercoastal marina. And there was no major tourist traffic. Nothing too exotic here but it's a good fresh seafood restaurant. I'd come again.
