THE FRIES ARE NOT FRESH CUT! My wife called and asked if they were after I read a review stating that they were not and we were told YES THEY ARE!!! We ordered a philly cheese steak, burger and chicken strips and of course fries with the philly and the chicken. After waiting 35-40 mins we got the food and took it back to our hotel which is about 3 miles away. After opening the boxes of food we immediately knew we had been duped. The burger was prepared wrong and it's funny that a place that prides itself on burgers would sell a pre made burger. The philly is steak um type meat layered on bread. The fries are limp, soggy and have 0 flavor. When you read all the awesome reviews notice that most are from a year ago. When I called back David the AGM was nice and apologized but had No comment about the fries and steak ums. Not sure how this place is making it. Throwing this away and going to Cook Out. read more

See all

I had the burger with fried egg and bacon.....it was incredible! I always get their burgers and fries, but someone else I was with got the wings and said they were terrible. If you get their burgers you cannot go wrong. If you are getting carryout, make sure you are there early. The burgers and fries are juicy, so the longer they sit, the bun and fries will get soggy. read more

Too hot! Poor service...waited 10 minutes no one took drink order just left...they need to fix ac before I'll go back

"Burger-vana" tucked into an almost impossible-to-find poolside location in the Sands Resort on Shore Drive a mile south of Restaurant Row. Unassuming and a bit gritty on the outside, the staff shouts out to-go order names and the place has peanut shells all over the floor (sorry allergy sufferers). But the burger choices are astounding, and the food itself was astoundingly good. I had the Nacho Crunch Burger, with Doritos (don't knock em til you try em), jalapenos, onion, pepperjack cheese and guacamole. Impressive taste combination. The burgers can be made from beef, turkey, chicken or vegan choices...wonderful for those who may be cutting back on the cow. The decor is nothing special, license plates and booths and tables with butcher paper covering them, but with lots of choice, tasty sides, like fresh-cut fries and large onion rings, and attentive friendly service, we would be willing to try other locations of this Myrtle Beach staple. Maybe they'll be a bit easier to find. A star taken off for the hotel hall-maze location and the lack of free parking in the front lot. Luckily, we were staying down the road so we walked. If you are not as lucky, try a location near a large shopping center or off of Rte. 17. The burgers are indeed worth the walk. And you might be glad you walked some of it off! read more

Good LORD, the burgers are to die for!!! I got the Palmetto Burger and added jalapenos! Heaven on Earth!!! Best burgers on the Grand Strand! Don't miss it!!! read more

I've always enjoyed eating at the River City Cafes. They have a variety of very unique burgers that are amazing. You can enjoy the cool summer breeze by eating outside or enjoy the air conditioned inside. They give you a bucket of peanuts when you sit down and expect you to throw the shells on the floor. It's not the most sanitary but it obviously works for most. Will always eat here once when on vacation. read more

Pretty good American food. Small space but oceanfront so it creates quite a casual dining atmosphere. I had the bbq plate while my wife enjoyed the southwestern chicken sandwich. We also had the blooming onion as an appetizer. Overall the food was good and we certainly would return. read more

Best burger in Myrtle Beach! I'm a huge burger lover and this place had one of the best burgers I have had from a restaurant. I got a double chesse burger and had to take half home because it was so huge. My wife and I will definitely return to River City café before we head home! read more

Everything fried. If you like crappy fried food, this is your place. Burgers weren't good. Go elsewhere.

River City is a very good place to just quickly eat a hamburger. There was just one problem last night. When I got mac and cheese it tasted like it had sour milk in it. I told my waitress and she was delighted to help me. She told me that she would give me a replacement entree. I got Chicken and it was delicious. Very good place to eat for dinner. read more

Have been here a couple times, we were more impressed this time. Very good service (Dee). Wife had a burger and I had the half pound fried bologna sandwich. Pretty basic stuff but fast and good. Good people watching too, next to the resort pool, lol read more

This is located in Sands Ocean club. Its okay just to grab something quick. Lots of burgers on the menu. Peanuts everywhere and license plates. read more

Food and service were top notch. Brian our waiter was friendly, helpful and attentive to our party of 8. The beers were ice cold and the kids enjoyed the free refills on there sodas or lemonades. Appetizers were very good, tried the fried green beans and Tai chili wings. Both were enjoyed by all. The burgers are loaded and good size. Prepare to enjoy and get a little messy. The choices are numerous and there were no complaints from our group. The atmosphere is a laid back beach bar with simple and local decor which can discourage some but it would be there loss for not staying. The place is a must try for great burgers. read more

The atmosphere here was very festive and the food was great also. The wife ordered a Sonoma chicken burger and I ordered the Patty Melt and sweet potato waffle fries. Very delicious! Staff is super friendly as well. Kevin was our server and he was awesome. This joint is located directly near the beach, which is totally convenient. We would definitely visit again, as this was our first time here. read more

Excellent food and fun atmosphere. Entire family enjoyed it. Very convenient for parking and to do other shopping.

Fantastic burgers! Quick and friendly service. It's super convenient to have this restaurant so close to the beach and we visit every time we stay in Myrtle. read more

Went two days in a row... Fried Mac and Cheese Burger was delicious! Today I got the turkey burger, also delicious. The drinks are cheap, and good! The place overall was very affordable. Free peanuts were even good! Also, the staff was friendly and attentive, but not smothering! Fantastic!! read more

Worst experience ever at a restaurant in Myrtle Beach! Went with a friend for a casual dinner, was told a 20-30 minute wait...no problem, couldn't get any service at their bar , so we went next door to Ocean Annie's to get a drink while waiting. It was actually 30 minutes until they called us for our table, it was an awkward set up next to a column in the middle of the restaurant, next to the peanut bin. Server took our drink orders, and returned shortly with our water and diet soda...we ordered and waited...she refilled our drinks, and we waited...again she refilled our drinks and ...we waited...1 hour after ordering, we asked how much longer, she said, I'll check on your order and 10 minutes later, she still wasn't back with our food or an update. We left $2 for the soda and left...we won't be back.... read more

Great Hamburgers and fries! Great prices too and Great portions! Service was friendly. Nice relaxing evening. A must try.

Was staying at Ocean Sands and decided to give this a try. Laid back atmosphere. They let you write on the tables and offer complimentary peanuts you can throw on the floor. We ordered loaded fries and pickle nickels as an appetizer. I thought they hit the spot. We all ordered burgers. They had all kinds of unique specialty burgers. Thry were delicious. I had no complaints. They had yummy frozen drinks too. I had the margarita and it was phenomenal. A few days later I tried the daiquiri and it was equally awesome. Prices were decent and service was great. Would recommend. read more

What a fun beachside restaurant. The buffalo chicken sandwich is a favorite - I order it regularly there. My husband loves the black and blue burger. Their homemade bleu cheese spread is awesome. There is something on the menu for everyone, really. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is fun. read more

Great service! The gentleman in the khaki shirt was a great server. We will return in the future!

This place was perfect for our loud party of four adults and four kids. The food was surprisingly delicious and expertly delicious. It was a little difficult to find but well worth an extra trip around the block. read more

Great place to get burgers! Love the build your own option. The fries are A-mazing! Order more than you think you'll need :) It can get a bit noisy and crowded during tourist season. Be prepared to wait. The servers are great and the over all experience is fun. read more

Really great. Love that you can eat it to go next door and have drinks by the beach. Huge portions. Good ranch dressing!

Great burgers, wings, and fried fare. Ordered from cell in room at Sands and food was ready in 10 minutes. Ate inside another time during the week and the food was solid. Beer was cold and staff was friendly. Overlooks pool area at Sands Ocean Club. read more

Great atmosphere and it was not crowded at lunch. The smells coming from restaurant while we were swimming were irresistible! We stayed at Sands Ocean Club so it was convenient. Reasonably priced! Food was so good! Recommend fried pickles and onion rings. The deserts portion were small and pre package but still good! read more

The menu is creative, and in theory the whole restaurant sounds like a great idea. Visually, the place is beautiful with the tropical decorations, and the license plate collection is a good idea, too. The only bone I have to pick with this place is the way that the waitresses treat customers. I've been down to the restaurant twice this week and both times the waitresses have spoken minimally and at very low volumes, and they also had careless attitudes. The restaurant has great potential, but as of now the family is disappointed with the customer service. read more

Our party of five visited River City Cafe on Shore Drive in late November 2007. Most of our group had hamburgers and fries. We all agreed that we enjoyed our food. Service was attentive. Business was somewhat slow this time of year. We will return to River City Cafe. read more

The burger was very good, juicy and tasty. And there are a ton of options for your burger toppings. Atmosphere was a casual, peanut shells on the floor, write your name on your booth kind of place. The tea was fantastic, the only reason I give it a four is the fries. They were fresh cut, which is great, but they tasted like the oil may have been a little old. Change your oil more frequently and you get a Five. read more

What more can you ask for? It's on the beach, causal, hamburgers, chicken, fish, sweet tea, alcohol and available for take out!! We love sitting on the beach outside at Sands and whatever the mood you can run in and grab a bite or get it to go. What could make it even better? Online or text to-go ordering. Would be great to order and then just pickup but definitely worth waiting in restaurant for your order. read more

Great food, nice price , ready when I walked in. Solid pizza, my two young experts say so! read more

Sat at the bar facing the kitchen, burgers were pre cooked sitting on the cool side of the grill. Fries were limp in a bowl under the heat lamp. Cooks were standing around pulling things off the hood and placing them on the grill where the food was.management was singing and waving his ginger locks behind the line over the prep. Clearly no management was on this Sunday because staff was sitting and gathered on the countertops behind the register their butts were literally on the bar feet dangling. About 5 staff , They mean mugged every client that walked through the door with no greet . My burger was old and my fries limp and cold. Gave this place 3 opportunities to redeem themselves and overall have failed. Food , service , and cleanliness a 1 at best. Length of Waite: for pre cooked food 10 mins . If you want any sides like ketchup, mayo, mustard be sure youll get a good heaping of southern hospitality that consists of an eye roll and a sigh . Meaning , they literally tossed me a packet of mayo and one mustard. And I do mean tossed.. read more

Pretty good burger place. It's not fine dining, it's just plain tasty food. It is a bit pricey though.

This is simply a fun place to eat. Food is great and inexpensive especially for its location. A must stop for lunch before heading back to the beach. Service is fast and friendly as well. read more
