Grabbed a quick lunch with my wife, she got her country on and went all in with the Darlington 500 a massive 1/2lb slab of deep fried bologna and onion rings. I opted for the Texas bbq burger with onion rings. Both sandwiches were good, the onion rings were huge (unfortunately so much that the batter didn't really stick. The service, we had a young man that was still in training but was very attentive and polite. They have peanuts available on the tables and a good bit of peanut shells on the floor. Didn't see any type of warning about this (doesn't mean it was not there just that we didn't see it) if you are allergic be warned. read more

River City Cafe is a great casual spot for lunch or dinner when you're craving classic café-style food. We ordered the grilled chicken salad, a burger, and onion rings. The onion rings were huge, crispy, and definitely worth ordering. The atmosphere is laid-back and fun, with that old-school casual vibe where you can snack on peanuts and toss the shells on the floor while you eat. A chill place to relax, grab a good meal, and enjoy comfort food with family or friends. read more

All I ordered was cheese fries...easy-peasy, there's even a picture on the menu that states 'melted shredded cheddar'. I waited 25 minutes for fries, in a to go box, slathered in canned nacho cheese sauce. My friend got a burger and onion rings...only plural because she received two rings. Reading the reviews, apparently I should have ordered a burger, but I was turned off completely. read more

River City Cafe has 4.1 stars for a reason: the food is excellent and the service is excellent. I wasn't hungry enough for me to order a full meal, so I shared with my wife the smash burger with onion rings. It was DELICIOUS! The food at the other tables look really good as well. I highly recommend this place . read more

GREAT food, fantastic service (thanks, William C.!) and quick with getting our food to us after we ordered. I had the house cheeseburger and my wife had the fried shrimp platter. Grand portions at a good price. We'll be going back anytime we're at Myrtle Beach! read more

Our waitress was Ashley and she was very friendly ! We had not been back in a few years. This particular night they were short handed on the service side. Long line of people outside was a good sign that this was still a sought after restaurant. Food took a little longer than we cared for but it was all very delicious. We had burgers and fried shrimp. The decor is "all over the place". You have to go to see what I mean. The License plates were numerous and varied. read more

This place is amazing! 10/10 recommend! I got the peanut butter bacon burger and it was hands down the best burger I have ever had! If I had to pick at anything, I would say our service was alright, felt like our server didn't visit our table near as much as other servers were visiting other tables. read more

We had a great experience at River City Cafe! We were able to sit outside, and with the nice breeze, it made for a perfect meal. I ordered the Ranchero BLT Burger, and it was absolutely delicious--juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. The onion ring was huge, crispy, and wasn't greasy at all. My husband ordered the Peachy Chicken Sandwich, and after stealing a bite, I completely fell in love with it! The combination of flavors was amazing, and it was just as delicious as my burger. Our waitress was amazing! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed, which made our visit even more enjoyable. The food was fresh, flavorful, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the service was outstanding. We will definitely be back! read more

We love River City. It's always the first place we eat when we get into town. Everyone orders a burger and we always enjoy! The onion rings are to die for! Kids meals are $9 and taste delicious. It's reasonably priced for the portions you get. read more

We eat here every time we are in Myrtle Beach. The burgers are great! The service is always top notch, and it's cool spot to hang out!

Great spot and even greater prices. Wonderful dive with really tasty food. Stopped by here for a drink and a snack and it did not disappoint. Enormous "world famous" onion rings and super crunchy fried banana peppers. Drinks are strong and very reasonably priced. If you're looking for a fun bar with delicious food that won't break the bank, this is it. read more

If you haven't then you really should. This place is a whole vibe. The food is delicious and the service is impeccable. The blooming onion is perfectly made and is not greasy. The burgers are the absolute best and the chicken sandwich with peach honey is unlike anything you'll find elsewhere. Highly recommend and this is a definite must stop the next time travels bring us to the Myrtle Beach area. read more

Outstanding customer service. Very friendly and helpful. My have place to get my sweets.

We stopped by River City Café and loved it! There's a huge outdoor seating area with a fun beach vibe ... and don't forget to bring sharpie because you can write on the deck!. The staff was so friendly and attentive, gave great menu suggestions, and kept our drinks refilled the whole time. We ordered the cheese puffs (not pictured because we were too excited and dug in right away - SO good!), the Buffalo Chicken Burger, the Smashburger, and the Shoestring Burger. The portions are enormous and everything was delicious. For how much food you get, the prices are incredibly reasonable. We'll definitely be back! read more

This is my new go-to spot whenever I'm in Myrtle Beach! My Mom was craving a burger and this place was highly rated. We decided to give it a shot. The parking was a bit tricky but after entering I was told that there's additional parking behind the business. The waitress was really nice and chatted with us as we decided on what we wanted. There were seats outside and every table was full. We wanted our food to go so we ordered at the bar. I LOVE the decor style indoors. There are license places everywhere. I think that's very cool. I ordered their Peach Hot Chicken sandwich and cheese curds. The chicken sandwich was DELICIOUS!!!! Whatever sauce they used was so good. The cheese curds were yummy as well. I highly recommend this place. read more

We showed up here one evening as we searched for somewhere open without a huge wait. Somehow we missed the rush (as the server said.) They were open and there was no one there. I was afraid we had came in on them cleaning, but it wasn't time yet. They were still totally open. We nearly had the place to ourselves and it was heavenly! We were sat immediately and served right away. I tried a sandwich, which I don't remember the complete details of but I remember it being so tasty and toasty. I also had onion rings that were so big and so good! I also love the cups we could take with us. I'm all about reusing and this was excellent to take back to the house where we're staying at to use the remainder of our stay. Highly recommend! read more

Walk in and it looks like a super cool fun bar! The menu is loaded with amazing looking burgers... they looked even better coming out of the kitchen. I went with a Rueben and it was spot on!!!!

This place is a must! Our server Brielle was fantastic. The only thing better than the service was the food. Burgers, hotdogs, fries and giant onion rings were all delicious. It's a fun, laid back atmosphere that is so inviting. Thank you for a great meal and a fun time. read more

Good service! Burger was nice and juicy. Bacon on the cheese fries was slight but still good.

Great vibes and great food here. I'm glad I sat inside or I wouldn't have caught all the fun the kitchen staff was having at work. Burger was great. Fried mushrooms were some of the best I've had. The onion rings-well, they're bigger than the state of Texas. Reasonably priced and Definitely worth a visit. read more

A burger spot in Myrtle with graffiti like decor. PLEASE TRY THEIR JALAPEÑO BACON JAM BURGER! It was one of my favorite burgers to try. I was skeptical at first about having a sweet and spicy burger but it worked SO well together. It was very spicy, and then jam was a different texture but it was so yummy! Just try it, if you enjoy the heat! read more

River City Cafe is amongst my favorite places to eat in Myrtle Beach. In my opinion, it is the best burger you will find. The prices are great for the portion and taste. The inside is decorated really cool, and there are dollar bills all over the walls. You can leave one yourself if you like, after decorating it. I've been coming here since I was a kid and the food has always hit the spot and there has never been a time when the service was not spectacular and the staff were not friendly!! They are always efficient and kind. read more

I ordered a regular cheeseburger with blue cheese and my desired condiments. It was good. I like my burgers, simple and sauce. It did what it was supposed to do. I'm happy I didn't order a side of fries because it was soggy from the heavy oil and without any flavor. If you want a quick bite, pull up. I may not understand the hype with the reviews, but I understand everyone's experience is different. I can only speak on my experience. Also, beware of the Peanuts on the floor read more

We went on a night where the poor girls that worked there were clearly understaffed. They worked so hard to make our experience amazing. Yet apparently it wasn't good enough for the manager who fired one of the girls just for speaking up about staffing. Absolute trash move on managements part. Those girls hustled, had amazing teamwork, and got everyone's food out in an appropriate amount of time! read more

First visit to Myrtle Beach for a family vacay and River City came highly recommended by my dad, specifically for the onion rings. River City is clearly a tourist favorite - the place looks busy every time we passed by. The restaurant itself is not huge and has outdoor seating, but the service was definitely timely considering. Our waitress (I hate I forgot her name) was super chill! She was very down to earth and clearly knew the menu and process very well. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich. Listen, the food is filling! You will not be disappointed. My sandwich was meaty - great bread to meat ratio. And the chicken was evenly coated with enough sauce which was great in comparison to sandwiches I've had in the past. The onion rings were truly impressive. I'm used to onion rings being hard to pull/cut apart or simply falling apart. Firstly, the rings are definitely HUGE! Whatever coating they used maintained a nice crunch and the ring could easily be sectioned apart. We'll clearly be back to River City whenever we come back to Myrtle Beach! read more

This is the first place I ate when visiting. Good spot for burgers because they have a huge selection. Got an indoor and outdoor seating section and they have free peanuts to eat. I got a continental burger, with a fried egg on it. Also got bacon jam on the side. The meal was filling and I tried their onion rings, which they're known for, and it was good. read more

This has been our favorite place so far on our trip to Myrtle Beach. The food and atmosphere is great. The whole group enjoyed it. Price was right on point. They had some issues with the payment system when we went so it extended our wait a little bit. Not a big deal. Would highly recommend it. read more

If you want a great local restaurant that has clearly been operating for so many years, then go to this place. Their burgers are really unique and delicious to eat. I sat at the bar counter and had the best server that had been working here for at least 20 years. She was super great and helped me pick the most unique burger since I had never been here. The vibe in here is cool with an old time feel but is very neat to sit and have a meal. read more
