    Service was fast and the food was good. Got seated realy fast and had a good spot looking out over the beach

    This sounds dern good too...

    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 place is a hidden little gem. It's tiny inside so very limited seating in there. The outside has picnic tables seating and a bit more room. They give free peanuts and you can throw your shells on the ground. Service was really good until the end when we tried to pay the bill it just took a really long time. Because it's a small venue, the wait was about 30 minutes and this was only about an hour until closing. Seems like a popular place among the locals and tourists both. Burgers were good and the cheese curds were A++.

    This rustic hometown cafe is within the Sands Ocean Club resort. They operate seasonally March - October. Thus are closed November through February. The food is amazing. Huge world famous burgers and onion rings. The service is fair; I would say it is rustic like the whole feeling you get being here. License plates on the wall, old coke signs to go with the old coke machine.

    These burgers were FANTASTIC!! The Nacho Crunch Burger was 15/10 probably the best burger I've ever had. The Banana Pepper Jack was really good too, but the other one was honestly perfect. The atmosphere was great. Perfect spot for dinner to grab a few drinks and a bite. Price was very fair for the food we ordered. Our server was so kind and checked up on us often. Definitely recommend River City Cafe if you're staying in Myrtle Beach!!

    OMG Burger (other parts of this burger not shown -- in a different box)

    If you're coming from a different North Myrtle beach hotel, just know that this restaurant is located inside a different resort/hotel and ask the front desk where it is because we got lost Can't beat the prices of these burgers, like that OMG Burger was ~$15 and had two grilled cheese sandwiches with the burger stuff AND onion rings AND fries Mushroom and Swiss burger was great as well!! The only downside would be the Mac & Cheese Burger... why use Kraft mac and cheese Also, I know in other cafes the wait is usually quite long (our friend visited a different location), but it was pretty fast at this location because they were only doing take out that specific day we went.

    My first time here, we stopped in the day we were checking out of our hotel. This location was in the hotel. The combos they have for the specialty burgers are very interesting. But I love trying different things. They have some of the best burgers!! They were cooked perfectly! The price and portions were good! We enjoyed our meal so much, we ended up stopping back by later that day on our way home! Lol Although we got the specialty burgers, they have regular ones too. And other things besides burgers. I've been several times since then, but forgot to take pics lol. There are several locations in Myrtle Beach. This visit was a while back, but I've been several times since then. Always delicious!

    We recently tried ART Burger Sushi Bar and unfortunately had a pretty disappointing experience…read moreoverall. Starting with the positives: the chicken and mac & cheese sushi roll was actually really good. It's definitely a unique combination, but it worked and we were pleasantly surprised. We also liked that you could see the beach from inside the restaurant, which made for a nice atmosphere. Now for the negatives. From the moment we sat down, we didn't feel very welcomed. Our server seemed annoyed that our party of six sat at a booth, even though two of those seats were for our 2-year-olds who were sitting between us. It really wasn't a full "six adults" situation. We originally wanted to order the mozzarella wontons, but were told they were sold out of mozzarella, so we took the server's suggestion and ordered the chicken mac & cheese sushi roll instead. When it came out, we actually thanked her because it was good and we were glad we tried it. When we ordered appetizers, we also ordered the kids' meals right away. Our appetizer came out, then we placed our dinner order: two burgers and two sushi rolls. The kids' meals came out first, which made sense since we ordered them early. Then the two burgers came out. The problem was that the people eating the burgers were basically finished with their meals before our sushi rolls ever arrived and we noticed other tables who ordered sushi after us were getting theirs first. We weren't given any updates about the delay, and when we asked about it, the explanation didn't make sense considering other sushi orders were coming out before ours. By the time my sushi finally arrived, everyone else at our table had already eaten. The kids were getting restless and we needed to leave, so I ended up asking to have my sushi boxed up instead of eating it there. The service was honestly the most disappointing part of the experience. Our server felt dismissive and irritated throughout the meal, and at one point my husband had to step in because of how she responded to a friend who was simply raising concerns about the food timing. I was really excited to try this place, and I'm honestly glad we didn't go here for my actual birthday dinner two days earlier, because it would have been a very disappointing celebration. Between the lack of hospitality and the poor service, it just wasn't a great experience for us.

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
