    I like to consider myself and onion ring aficionado and believe me when I say these onion rings are top notch!!! When you bite in, the onion doesn't pull along with it and the crunch is panko perfection!!! I just loved it! The price was a little high for 5 onion rings so my tips is just to add it to your burger/sandwich for $3.99 instead of paying for it full price. Granted, you'll get less but the price works out. My Fork & Knife burger was delicious. I forgot to add cheese so don't forget to do that. And everyone else loved their food too. Our server was nice. Not a hoverer but there when you needed something. Lots of seating and LOTS of decoration on the walls. Everything from license plates to stickers. Didn't like that the bathrooms were outside the building and they were stuffy with almost zero air conditioning.

    Peachy chicken sandwich

    Pretty good vibes. Decent food. With a few drink menu tweaks and some culinary advice, this place could mog the block

    This sounds dern good

    Went to the River City Cafe by the Dunes the other day - there's _seven_ locations, so they're doing something right :) I thought RCC had pretty good food (a burger), a suitable beach-divey vibe and location, location, location... I think if you're in the Myrtle Beach area, it'd almost be hard not to have eaten here once or twice before. The burger was alright and the service was quick. I was a bit surprised by the size of the cocktails though, not a 'great' value in that department.

    "This is a damn good burger" - my brother who likes burgers a good amount Our server was friendly and helpful with recommendations!

    Cheese pops
    Melanie B.

    AMAZING food! We ordered cheese pops as an appetizer, it's deep fried cheese curds served with marinara. Delicious! I ate the grouper fingers. Probably the best fried fish almost ever. Fresh and light, not greasy at all and served with fries, cole slaw (with raisins) and cocktail/tartar sauce. The place itself is decorated in bad graffiti, license plates from all over and the bathrooms (outside) are gross. Our waitress Samantha, was very sweet.

    Jalapeño jam burger and pork bbq sandwich with fries and coleslaw.

    Really fun place. Small dining room and bar area inside and seating outside with a bar. We had the pork bbq sandwich and jalapeño jam burger. Soooo good! The burger was spicy and sweet. The bbq sandwich had a mild smoked taste. We sat at the bar inside. Bartender was great. Food came out quick and hot. They have some epic burgers on the menu.

    Awesome Blossom Onion

    Amazing Blooming Onion! Awesome waitress! Amazing atmosphere. First but not last. The next we are in this area River City shall be on the agenda

    Our waitress Abby was wonderful! Abby was polite, kind and courtesy! Abby was very attentive and catered to us very well! Thank you Abby ! I made a huge mistake and did not check out the bathrooms prior to ordering food. I was disappointed at first that the beer I ordered was in a can, but after checking out the bathrooms I was happy it did not come out of their beer tap system. I am 100% sure the beer tap system would be infested with mold and quite grungy ! One & done! We will never ever ever ever return to any of their locations! This is establishment is a total disgrace and disgusting and needs to be shut down ASAP!!!!!

    Coleslaw with raisins

    This restaurant is located near the ocean in a populated area on the strip. We came during lunch hours and were able to be seated at a table right away. The restaurant is uniquely decorated with multiple license plate tags on the walls. The restaurant offers peanuts to snack on while you wait on your food. Our server, Samantha P. was friendly & attentive. I ended up ordering the shoestring burger with fries. The combo also came with coleslaw. The side of coleslaw was prepared with raisins. This was the first time that I have seen this combination. The burger and fries tasted good and were served warm. The burger was topped with onion straw and the house sauce and I opted for lettuce and tomatoes on my burger as well. If I am in the area again I would come back.

    Food fine but $2.89 for an iced tea seems ridiculous. What does it cost? A few pennies?

They quickly seated our party of five, which was a great start to our visit. The service was okay. Nothing over the top, but not bad either. There were a few times our drinks got low, and we had to look around for our waitress, but it wasn't a huge deal. One thing I did notice was that the restaurant felt a little warm and humid inside, but with how busy it was, I can understand why. Now let's get to the best part--the food! My mom ate the crab cakes and cleaned her plate. She said they were so good she almost licked the plate clean! The kids had the chicken tenders and loved them. They were just a little overcooked, which is why we ended up taking some home, but they still enjoyed them. My wife ordered the HUGE grilled shrimp salad and finished every bite. She left happy, but she did mention she would have liked a few more shrimp, especially considering the price. As for me, I had the Catch of the Day, which was swordfish. Let me tell you--if you've never tried swordfish before, go to Carolina Roadhouse and order it! I had mine broiled, and it was cooked perfectly. It was tender, flavorful, and hands down one of the best fish dishes I've had. My only complaint? I wanted more! Overall, my little family had a great experience, and we'll definitely be back. Next time, I'll finally be trying the famous ribs that everyone keeps talking about. Thanks for a great meal, Carolina Roadhouse! From the Griggs Family

We visited this location just before Christmas 2025 at about 6:30 pm on a weeknight and the joint was quite lively. They had a singer/guitar player doing his thing (we didn't really care for him, but that's ok) and the bar was well staffed. It's called Bourbon Street, but it's definitely not a whiskey or bourbon bar. Yes, they have Blanton's and a few other premium bourbons, but you won't find anything exotic at all here bourbon wise. This place is a sports bar that does bar food and steaks and they run happy hour specials as well. We didn't eat on our visit, but those that ordered food had dishes/items that definitely looked appealing. Prices are pretty fair here, but we felt the gem of this location was it's service. We never had to wait long at all to be served or refilled. Their bartenders (we were served by three different ones) were very friendly and quite attentive to all their customers. There's free wifi and plenty of seating both at the bar and at tables throughout. The floor plan is cut up sort of weirdly and I do wish it was one huge, open floor plan, but the roof support doesn't seem to allow for it. They do have a small stage in one corner for musicians, etc. This is a good sports bar that seems to do a really good job of sports barring. Check it out if you're looking for a competent and friendly sports bar.
