    First time trying Sunny Side up for breakfast. They were busy but when get inside they have plenty of tables and staff. Our server took care of us right away but the food didn't arrive for a good 45 minutes after ordering. They also don't allow a substitute for the side of grits that comes with the egg dishes. I ordered a mushroom and cheese omelet. I thought it was good and should have added a side of bacon as bacon is good with everything. My sister ordered the eggs Benedict Florentine and she liked it but she also commented on the long wait.

    I'm not typically a breakfast person at home, but it's always been one of my favorites to eat out, so trying to find a good place close to our new home is paramount. The Sunny Side Up diner in Calabash is only a few miles away so we gave it a try. This is clearly a locals hangout. The waitstaff is well seasoned and appear to know a lot of the customers. After our experience we are looking forward to being a couple more locals who frequent this place. Prices are more reasonable than most beach places. Portions are good. We had a few friends with us and all 4 of us were very pleased with the quality of our food. It appears they just remodeled and resurfaced the parking lot too. Overall great experience and recommend.

    Good homemade food, attentive service with a smile and excellent prices. My husband had the meatloaf lunch special with green beans and mashed potatoes for $10.95. Large portions to fill up a big appetite.

    Found this diner on Google. It's actually fairly roomy for a diner and offers lots of onsite parking. Upon entry we were greeted by a friendly hostess then was seated immediately. The waitress was nice, not overly friendly but nice. The patrons appear to be locals and not tourists like us. The ambiance wasn't anything unique or memorable but it was clean and extremely quiet! No loud talking, no music or rowdy behavior. The food was good and the prices were reasonable. I had a bacon cheeseburger and fries ...the burger was pretty thin but it was good. However, being from the south, I know and love sweet tea, so I was unimpressed with the sweet tea here! It was weak but it was sweet so I drank it. My son and nephew ate breakfast...they both said they enjoyed their food which came from the kids menu. I was going to give 4 stars but I took off another star because charging a, I think, 4% service fee for using a credit card was utterly ridiculous!! I mean in the era of tap to pay and being 23 years into the 21st century, who really carries cash like that?! All in all I give Sunny Side Up Diner a solid 3 stars!

    Scrambled eggs with chopped steak, grits, pancake on the side. Rye toast on the way...

    I had breakfast at Toasted a few times and was always impressed with the quality of their food…read morealong with the creativity of their dishes. I had seen a tv spot about their new offerings of dinner, I knew I had to try them. We played golf up near Calabash, we had the opportunity to stop at Toast. Their menu offered a wide variety of their creative options. I chose the Shrimp Cherie, my wife chose the Slammin Salmon which was prepared with a couple of ingredients she couldn't have. They made suggestions on how they could alter the dish to satisfy her dietary needs. We both thought our meals were over the top. The service was fantastic our server was attentive but not a pain. The owner was very friendly stopping by a couple of times. The patrons were mainly local, the owner knew them well. His warmth radiated through the restaurant as the evening went on. My only regret was it took me so long to try Toast. It may be a bit of a drive for us but it's well worth the trip, we will be back very soon.

Amazing southern style "biscuit breakfasts?" AMAZING! Ambiance? Star Wars stormtroopers and Yoda but also a welcoming, fun atmosphere So ABSOLUTELY! The service is top-notch and the only thing I regret is sharing this wonderful restaurant because it's so good. Pro tip: go on any weekday morning or lunch and avoid the busier weekends.

    I have been coming to Boundary House for years and had a chance to bring a friend this past…read moreweekend. Always a lovely experience! Typically, when I come, it is with a larger group so we have to sit inside. For anyone wondering, you are likely always going to have a wait. And that's okay! There is a wonderful beach and Christmas shop right across the parking lot that you can peruse - I promise you can kill at least 45 minutes, and the meal is well worth the wait. This time, since it was just my friend and I, we decided to sit at the outdoor bar, which is first come first serve. We were quickly seated, so it worked out perfectly. One thing I will say is that this patio is in the direct path of the setting sun, so just have your sunglasses ready. I ordered the Sarita Margarita, which is my favorite cocktail they have. It is like a fruity, boozy slushy. Absolutely delicious and perfect after a day at the beach. I always get the Hurricane Chicken. It is my absolute favorite meal. If I were to have my choice of my last meal on earth, it would be Boundary House's Hurricane Chicken. When you order an entree, it comes with a side salad. My recommendation to you is to get their house raspbery vinagrette, it pairs perfectly with this salad! Now, the Hurricane Chicken itself is this delightful combination of a chicken breast, crab cake, and shrimp with some delicious sauce on top. It is so creamy with the variety of flavors that three meats bring. In case you don't finish it all, it also reheats well for leftovers the next day. Parking: there is a large parking lot with plenty of spaces. If you're ever in Calabash, you have to stop in at Boundary House!

    Excellent find while travel through this area…read more Freshly hand-crafted eats with so many choices, you'll want to study the menu before ordering 'cause there's so many fantastic options. Limited hours: 6:00 AM- 2:00 PM. Caring staff makes sure your order is prepared in a timely manner! Popular spot for the locals there tends to always be a line. Many customers order ahead and carry out. That's when you know it's a great place! They're proud of their New York style of bagels and unique creations & daily bakery delights. We saw a BBQ sauce blended bagel & so many more combinations of different blends. The sandwiches look delicious, as well as their cream cheese fillings. We wanted to get one but, we were meeting family for lunch in Myrtle Beach. Yet, we had to get some baked treats. Ordered the peach strudel, apple crumb strudel & butter cookie with apricot filling. The peach strudel was a little too sweet, the apple strudel was absolutely amazing and that butter cookie was literally the best thing ever! It wasn't the hard cookie crunch most are made. It was a soft, delicate light pillow of perfection. I could have ate a few more and refrained from taking a bag "to go" LOL Note- Many other local finds from jams to spreads. Can make great gifts. *They have on-site parking. *Specials on day old goods and daily discounted prices if anything is left over from a few days before. Highly recommend this adorable little store.

Every sandwich is fresh, flavorful, and tastes just like something you'd get in New York. The bagels are perfectly made, the portions are generous, and everything is consistently delicious. The customer service is outstanding, and Brian, the owner, truly goes above and beyond by personally checking on customers and making everyone feel welcome. That kind of hospitality makes the experience even better. And don't leave without trying their amazing iced coffee, it's the perfect addition to any breakfast or lunch. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great food and friendly service! You are paying for quality food!!!
