Terrible customer service! I never leave reviews but I encountered a ridiculous situation here. We were told there would be a 45 min wait. We came back 35 minutes later. They notified us via cell phone but we had to take our 4 year old to the restroom. We came 6 minutes after they notified us and the manager informed us we would not be served since it's Saturday. He stated we would have to be put to the bottom of the list and wait again. Unbelievable. I've worked at multiple restaurants in my life and I have never seen that type of situation handled so poorly. read more

Neat spot, but not very clean. Has a very strange aroma as well. We came here twice on our stay in Myrtle, the first time our food was great the second time, not so much. The staff was very accommodating. When we arrived, they let us hang out outside (with all of our luggage) on their patio until our room was ready to check into. read more

We walked to this restaurant from our hotel and that's the only good thing this place had going for it. We originally intended to wait the 30 minutes for a table but 30 minutes later we had no table, it was getting late, and we were exhausted so we decided to order to go. We waited about an hour for our food which is ridiculous!! Two hours completely wasted between waiting for a table, waiting to place our order, and waiting on food. To top it off, the hostess is incredibly unfriendly. Ten out of ten do not recommend! read more

My husband and I ate here for a late lunch. The waiter wasn't very attentive. My husband got sweet potato fries and they were dripping in oil. My fries were cold. His Sonoma chicken sandwich was good. My shoestring burger was just okay. The mozzarella sticks were pretty good, the inside though had something like raw flour, not to sure just what it was. Overall it was just not a great visit. read more

Outstanding food and service. We came in as a party of 8 and the wait time would have been 25 to 30 minutes so we asked if they could split us up. They did and we were seated right away. The waitress and waiter were both great. They have a huge selection of burger styles to meet anyones tastes. I got the three alarm burger and it was one of the best burgers I have ever had. I made it a double. (Not necessary! The regular is at least 1/2 lb). All 8 of us were very satisfied. I highly recommend! read more

I have been eating at River City Cafe and Pawleys for years , their food is good. The reason for this bad review is the customer service from the MB 73rd North Ave location. I work in the area and from time to time I'll get food from there. How ever on 10/2/2022 I called in a pick up order and was advised there would only be service for sit in dining. The person who answered the phone was snarky and ended the conversation quickly. From that moment I decided never to order or visit that location again. I was a frequent customer but not anymore I guess ordering to go orders is beneath their standards. read more

Close to the hotel we stayed at but disappointing. This is a peanut shells on the floor and write on the walls, furniture or whatever kind of place. Service was prompt, food was so-so. We had the fried zucchini appetizer which was crunchy and delicious but we also had the popcorn shrimp which appeared to be tiny salad shrimp in soggy breading. It turned me off when I saw the hostess drag the paper they use as table cloths on the floor and give it to a busser to put on a clean table. I also saw her dump a partially eaten basket of peanuts back in the box they serve out of. Seems popular though, go figure. read more

This place doesn't even deserve 1 star. There are literal roaches crawling on the floor as we we're trying to eat. It was so disgusting we literally didn't even eat our food I just left. There's about 500 other places in the area to choose from. Do not come to river city cafe. This is your warning. read more

One place we always have to have dinner at when we visit. Absolutely love the food here have never had anything bad. And the staff are super friendly! Nice location despite the current construction going on beside of the restaurant we love sitting in the outside dining area! We will always return when we visit here for vacation! Highly recommend! read more

Very casual and not far from our hotel, wait staff was very friendly and accommodating

VERY good as far as cleanliness and attention to safety as far as eat in dining / Covid 19. It was the first restaurant we really got to sit down and eat at since the world went crazy and the apocalypse hit. The food was DELISH. Our lovely waitresses name was Taylor and she was perfect. Her bubbly personality and help was exactly what we needed after all this madness. I highly recommend this place, and to leave Taylor lots of tips! Lol read more

Outdoor seating was not available so we ordered it to go -- we should have just left. We waited for an hour and the food was cold and mediocre. (Why were there raisins in the coleslaw?) The shrimp po boy was shameful. Also was not pleased with the graffiti on the walls outside, especially the "Trump 2020" tags. When we left, I looked for a trash can to throw out our garbage and one of the waitresses (white and blond) approached me with a very snarky and rude attitude. Really made the mediocre experience horrible enough to write a review. read more

Drove to myrtle beach to go shopping and decided to stop for lunch. We arrived around 1 o'clock on a Saturday. I was starving so I was glad it wasn't busy. We were seated right away. We sat inside but they have outside seating with a bar. You're able to walk up from the beach and enter. Our waitress didn't seem too happy to be at work that day but we had no issues with her. This place gets props for a unique menu! They had so many crazy burgers. I had a hard time choosing but I went with the Nacho Dorito burger with a pretzel bun. It took less than 10 minutes to get my food. The pretzel bun was great and had a nice buttery flavor. I hate when I get a burger and all of the layers fall out because the bun is too flimsy. The pretzel bun was firm enough to hold it all in. It came with Doritos, obviously, pepper jack cheese and guacamole. The flavors of the cheese and guac went perfectly together and added extra creaminess. The party itself was pretty bland, which was unfortunate, but it was almost hard to tell due to all the other things going on in the burger. The fries were typical. Somewhat soggy but I ate them all. My husband got the Mac n cheese burger and didn't like it much at all. Cool place to check out if you're on the beach or looking for a local restaurant in Myrtle. read more

We stopped in for a late dinner one night when several other spots were closed. Our server was great, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was fun. read more

Food was great! Server was awesome. Spencer you handled our chaos like a boss! We had apps and burgers and left happy. Thanks for taking great care of it! read more

Love the decor of this place, especially the outdoor bar. The other thing is the shirts are spectacular - buy one! The food is reasonable as well....spectacular prices, but quality is nothing to write home about. Service....has some work to do to be desired. We easily waited 15 minutes for drinks on a Thurs eve that was not crowded, and then we had to walk inside (outdoor table) to get the attention of our server to take our order after waiting another 20 minutes. We've been there twice and have had similar experiences twice. We'd go back again but only going in eyes wide open on how long we'd expect to be there given the issues with service. read more

The hostesses are cool, atmosphere is cool, surf shack like. Food was good but took 4EVER to get it and it wasn't hot like it should have been. Dont get me wrong, it was very good, but could have been awesome if had been warmer than room temp. That was a shame! I'll try them again and let's hope no more room temp food! read more

We got takeout due to the corona. Call in ordering was quick and easy and food was ready quite fast. We got RC burgers which were massive and I'll put it up to one of the best burgers I've ever had with fries which were also perfectly seasoned. My kids loved the popcorn shrimp as well. Definitely ate much more than I should have but it was so worth it. Looking forward to coming back and hopefully having the dine in option after this covid mess is done with. read more

Amazing customer service! Beautiful restaurant, friendly servers, great food. What more can you ask for

They were out of some of the menu items when we tried to order which was unfortunate (out of the blooming onion & bacon jam). Service was a little slow too, we ordered takeout & it took almost 10-15 mins past the time they'd given us & we'd only ordered 2 burgers (which were subpar) & fries. read more

Can't really add any more but ask for Bill! I did takeout today and you order at the bar and just wait and pay at the bar as well, waited about 10 minutes for my order...PERFECT! read more

Service was poor this time around on vacation. They gave our table away taking someones word that we had left. Not cool.

Ok not great. Good prices for being on the beach. Food "to-go" doesn't hold up well in foam boxes.

Came for drinks and snacks late in the evening from a neighboring hotel. It was storming and there was a wait. We risked the outside bar to avoid the crowd. Great decision! The staff was friendly and entertaining. We ordered drinks, fried zucchini (huge pieces! Very good), wings (decent), and fries(really good). The food came fast and everything was great. We will come back to try the huge burgers! read more

Don't eat here unless you're prepared to wait way too long for food and drinks. When we arrived, there were only a few tables and our drink order arrived quickly. That's all of the good service we received. Shortly after, the place was packed and only two servers appeared to be working the whole restaurant. Our server was very friendly and it was not her fault that management failed to staff properly during the busy season. Our first round of drink cups were empty for way too long before I had to get up from the table to find our server and ask for another round. We waited 20 minutes only for her to come back and say their pina colada machine was broken. So we ordered beers instead. 20 minutes later she came back to tell us that they were out of the beers we ordered, then again that they were out of the OTHER beers we ordered. Just when we were ready to cancel our food order and walk out (as we'd witnessed other tables doing), our food showed up. The food was good but the experience was already soured. Would not recommend. read more

We are here on vacation and have heard and read many good things about RCC. So we stopped in for lunch, located only about 3 blocks from our condo. We were seated right away. Our server was Brandi and she was AWESOME!!! We were told of the menu and she offered up suggestions which helped us decide. We ordered the fried mushrooms as an appetizer. They were huge!! Battered in tempura though, it absorbs a lot of grease. They were tasty but I could only eat one. The burgers were fantastic!!! I got the Texas bbq burger with bbq sauce, fried onion straws and cheddar. My husband ordered the grilled onion burger with bacon. He took the pickles off, saying they were a bit too strong for his liking. We both ordered them as platters which included fries and coleslaw. The slaw had raisins which took my by surprise but it was delicious!!! We never ran out of tea or anything needed. Brandi anticipated all or wants and needs and we never had to ask for anything!! With all this said, would we go back? Absolutely. And probably before we head back to Mississippi. Oh, and that sweet tea!!!! oh my!!! read more

On a recent trip to Myrtle Beach, June 6, my husband and I decided that it was getting late, the kids were starving and that River City Cafe would be a fun place for us to dine that night. We arrived at River City Cafe on 73rd avenue north around 8:30. We were asked if we would like to be seated inside or outside. We replied inside and the 3 servers there looked a bit irritated by that reply. There were only 3 other tables being occupied at the time and we were seated at the very rear of the restaurant. Our waiter was friendly enough, took our drink order and disappeared for 10 minutes. We were brought drinks and our order was taken which included an appetizer basket of fries. The fries were brought out aprox. 5 minutes later by a different server who half-tossed them onto our table, said absolutely nothing and walked away. Another 10 minutes pass, the fries are gone, cups are empty and we haven't seen our server since our order was taken. My husband left the table to find our server to refill our drinks. Our server refills our drinks and says our food will be out soon - our food arrived around 9:15 and over half of it was cold. Chicken fingers - cold, fries - cold, grilled cheese - cold. I watched as the server who brought our fries moved around the dining room repapering table tops and couldn't help notice how he seemed extremely irritated by our presence. Halfway through eating my husband had to get up again to find our server to refill our drinks. Our server was found at the bar eating a plate of food. Instead of coming directly to our table after my husband finally found him the server veered by another table that had just left to pick up his tip which he counted in front of us at our table. My husband asked for the bill, we paid and promptly left. Did we arrive too close to closing time? I was a restaurant owner for 15 years and fired many employees for treating a customer as though they were an inconvenience because they wanted to clean up for the night and "get outta there". I have to say that our $65 dinner at River City Cafe this night was one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. What a disappointment after reading that RCC was voted one of the 10 best places to dine with kids. read more

I had the worst Patty Melt I have ever had in my life. How can any restaurant screw up a Patty Melt? Mine consisted of raw onions, some kind of gross fake cheese, and a hamburger and toasted bread dripping with grease. I think they were trying to make it California style by adding smashed avocado. News flash! Avocados do not make any food Californian style. read more

Didn't get a chance to check out the food as their menu on yelp and website not working properly. Get to the place, ask for menus, go back in to place our order, and the lady says they're not taking carryout orders. Ugh. 40 minutes wasted. read more

I was told this was the best hamburger place in Myrtle Beach. I was expecting a mouth watering hamburger cooked medium rare. My burger was cooked medium and lacked any juicy flavor. I am not sure I would go back. read more

Eating here has become a crucial part of my trips home to MB. Their food and service has been the same for years- and I'm not complaining! Seriously- everything I've ever had here has been delicious. From the onion rings, to the wide range of burgers, to the fries! Is it gourmet? No, but then again, that's not what they're selling. The prices are great, and the food is always fresh and consistent in quality. I had the palmetto burger this time (topped with pimento cheese.. Oh heaven..), and my husband had the nacho burger. We both were very satisfied with our meals. What more can you ask for? Good food, good drinks all a block from the beach! read more

Service was horrible, waited 10 minutes for just our drinks.... 30 minutes for our food and our waitress checked on us once throughout our sitting. Some of the food was cold and others weren't worth the price. read more

Amazing experience from the time we walked in the door. There was a short wait (about 20 mins) but the entire staff was friendly & extremely attentive. We both had burgers & wings. The food was great as well. We will definitely be back when we visit Myrtle Beach again. Shout out to our server, Jay!! read more

Awesome place that was accommodating and the food was fantastic. Could not have had a better experience. Missing star for no real bar but that's it. read more

Everything tasted like it was fried together. Food wasn't hot ! I ate there several years ago and it was good but low on staff and only seating was inside. Atmosphere has gone down. Really sad read more

Would have gotten a 5 Star rating but the wait for a table was 30-40 minutes. Limited parking so I had to keep dumping money into the parking meter. The fact that we could eat peanuts and throw the shells on the floor was cool but I'm sure that made for a tough cleanup. The food was excellent..great Turkey Burgers along with the cheese fries. Our waitress was great not only did she keep us backed up on water refills she really went out of her way to provide great service. I'll keep this one book marked for our next trip to Myrtle Beach. read more

Why 3 stars? Well the burgers were what you would expect from a burger joint. Decor was interesting with car plates all over the wall from different states. Apparently Ohio residents frequent this establishment. I gave them 3 stars because I wasn't sure if the burgers made me sick or the fact I hadn't had red meat in a while. The burger I had tatsed good going down, the Mrs wasn't impressed with her shrimp burger and didn't finish it. I had a smoked bacon cheddar burger with all the fixin, it was good. I will say after eating here I loss my taste for red meat again. But don't let my review stop you from trying them out... read more

Great food and decent prices. They have burgers, also in Turkey and Chicken. The Chili was surprisingly good, would order it again. read more

Looks like not much from the outside, and the wait can be a bit long but don't let that deter you! We had to wait about an hour, but we were able to wait in the bar area. The food was great, the service is AMAZING, and the price was pretty awesome! Our kids loved it. We would for sure go again and highly recommend. read more

Total dive bar. The burgers were great but the service was not. We were seated and it took 15 minutes for our server to come greet us. We were the only guests there at the time. Once he acknowledged us, it got better but still not great service. I would come back again if I wanted a good burger but thats about it. read more
