We got in there at 8:50 and I think the waitress upfront didn't wanna set anybody else anymore and they decided after they told us that they could set us in that they can no longer take anybody else into the restaurant and we were left hanging and hungry read more

We have ate at both locations and the food was great. Had a burger and wings and appetizers. I would definitely recommend it.

This is location has a large warehouse atmosphere. The wait was not long. We had a great dinner. Everything we had was delicious. read more

The Grumpy Monk - Signature cocktail - Bars Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Honestly I was a bit hesitant because it looked very gimmicky. I was pleasantly surprised as the service was outstanding. I had the boneless wings half Thai honey and half BBQ. The Thai honey was one of the best wing sauces I've ever had, hands down. The bbq was also very good but gosh that Thai honey. I can't vouch for all the food because the Mac n cheese was alright but I'll dream of those Thai honey wings for a while! read more

Family of 4 in town on vacation. Stopped here for lunch after shopping at the outlet mall. Husband and I split honey smothered chicken and tots (huge portion but good!). We each had a pint too, good local beer selection. Kids (12 & 9) really loved their mac and cheese. Atmosphere and service was great. Happy hour specials look awesome! We can see why its a popular local place. read more

Food was really good- interesting, fresh and appealing to the eye for an "All American" meal. Seated immediately and sat on patio with a great view. Server was not a people person at all - definitely in the wrong line of work. Not friendly, seemed rushed even though there were plenty of servers and not a full restaurant. Food came before utensils, drinks were not great and slow to come, apps came with meal. Had to ask repeatedly for basics. Only checked back once. Mentioned it on the way out but host staff also young and inexperienced. read more

Sushi was great, i go the American burger which came with wings as well. The burger was bland and dry. Wings were awesome. Got Thai-Honey butter wings. My wife had coconut shrimp and she loved them. Service was pretty bad. Only got checked on once and had to ask for refills. Loved the atmosphere and live music. I would go back for wings and sushi for sure. I also think gratuity is automatically added regardless of party size. read more

Food is decent, service is good and atmosphere is cool. However, there are a lot of better places around.

This was a cute little find on the boardwalk. There's a bar in the opening area that seems very lively and active and the restaurant area gets busy. They have good wings and queso! read more

The Grumpy Monk kept popping up on my timeline so, I had to check it out. We sat outside. Nice atmosphere (for a touristy area), with a water view of the small lake. The greenery in the ceiling is nicely done. Our server was nice and helpful. We looked over the beer menu while we waited for our nachos. I love the diet beer section! Mainly because I tell my husband (who drinks these beers) something similar all the time lol. I ended up going with the cotton candy IPA. Y'all, it really has a cotton candy after taste for just a second. I enjoyed it. My husband went with the Anita loca (I think) he also enjoyed. The nachos we're subpar. Not bad though. The husband has the French dip, he gives it an 8/10. Meet was on the chewy side. But still pretty good! I had the lobster Mac. This was on the happy hour menu. Now I've had a good amount of lobster Mac in my day. I feel like it can also be hard to find when eating out. I get it every time I see it. I give this a 7/10. Wish it came with more lumps of crab, rather than it being mainly shredded, and little more seasoned. Over all the food was descent. The service and atmosphere is great. read more

Looks like the cooks were very grumpy! 45 mins to get the food, and the restaurant was mostly empty. Old fries, worst cheesesteak sandwich, worst nachos... bad experience read more

Excellent Wings, Bring Money. I hadn't been here in several years (our children are older, the attraction of Broadway at the beach isn't in our house), but I had heard that the service was better than at their North Myrtle Beach location. I asked a friend who lives near here to join me. It was a Monday, not busy, and the bartender immediately greeted me. I ordered a New South Nut Brown Ale, one of the many craft brews available. It arrived in a plastic cup. It didn't make the beer taste any worse, but it sure seemed cheap. I ordered the smoked wings with the house rub. They arrived looking good and tasting good. The little plastic cup full of blue cheese dressing was tasty enough, and the included celery stalks didn't seem wilted. I prefer the non-gooey aspect of smoked wings (as opposed to the sloppy mess that most restaurants serve), because I've never believed gooey wings are "better." The big surprise came at the end. My check, for my order of eight wings and a craft beer ($7.50), came in at more than $32 (almost $40 with tip). That means that eight chicken wings were $22-25 for eight or nearly three dollars each. The menu said to ask the server for the price, but I didn't realize chicken wings would be as expensive as oysters. While they are good, I'll look for other options. The atmosphere, while it was a Monday, was pleasant enough. The service was okay, though like at the other location, the staff spent most of their time talking to a patron (regular or employee?) on the other side of the bar. I love the wings, but mediocre service, beer in a plastic cup (Gee, I feel welcome!), and "bend-over tourist" pricing put this on my "no" list. read more

This place had great reviews but the food was good, not great. We started with the famous wings in garlic Parmesan and spicy tso sauce. The garlic ones were a 2 star and the Spicy Tao were 5 stars in flavor. The eggrolls were pretty bad, the dough was raw so it wasn't crispy at all so it ruined the whole roll. I ordered the famous monk burger because I wanted to try the peanut butter burger but the actual amount of peanut butter made it barely noticeable and the patty was overcooked so it wasn't juicy or flavorful. If I ever go back I'll make sure to stress Medium not medium well for the burger temp. We also had a cute visitor which they stayed is a daily thing. The ducks will hop on deck to see if any scraps are on the floor but they weren't a bother at all. Overall I'd come back and try different things but it's not a place I'm dying to try again. It was ok, nothing special. The service was exceptional and the ambiance was too, aside from it being muggy on the patio. read more

A lovely happy hour on the patio at the Grumpy Monk at the Boardwalk at the Beach location. We enjoyed watching the speedboats on the lake while dining on margaritas and nachos. The chicken southwest rolls were mostly dough but the blackened chicken nachos were really tasty. Service was solid and welcoming. read more

The service was good and fast. The flounder sandwich was average. The monk burger was good. The monk turds were very greasy. The spring rolls were unique and tasty. It was nice to sit out on the patio looking at the water and we went on a Sunday and they were doing the happy hour menu all day as their special. We chose this place because it had reasonable pricing compared to other restaurants in the area. read more

Ambiance and location are definitely a plus for this restaurant. Located in the Boardwalk where there is the Ripleys Aquarium, museums, Señor Frogs, and plenty of other little stores, restaurants, and amusement rides. Came on a Saturday for lunch, and it was raining a bit, so everything was super empty and quiet. We were sat immediately outside on their patio. Beautiful view of their lake and other businesses in the area. There are plenty of drinks to choose from, sushi, and bar grill type food. We ordered a bunch of stuff from Edemame, crab dip with chips, Mahi burger, chicken wrap, and it was all delicious! Everything was very well marinated, seasoned together, and there was not a bad meal! Employees were super friendly and efficient and would definitely be back if we were ever in Myrtle Beach again. we will definitely be back and try other options on their menu. This is located in kind off a plaza center, so they have plenty of parking options. read more

Awefull and complete bar food to say the least I guess you have to be there for the drinks and not care what you eat after

The Grumpy Monk was a great stop for a lunch in Myrtle Beach & the staff there were completely the opposite of grumpy!! Located right in a hustling & bustling area of Myrtle beach my husband and I popped into the Grumpy Monk after a morning of outlet shopping. We were able to be seated right away inside or outside. The menu options were quite extensive, there's definitely something for everyone. My favorite part was that they offer sushi!!! The establishment gives me like pub/American fare so it was a fun thing to learn that they have a sushi bar with made to order rolls. Although we did not get sushi their food was excellent! We started off with some of their wings which are offered with a variety of sauces. We love good sauce options. The wings were awesome and they let us split the order of 8 into 2 flavors! My husband then got some sort of southern grilled cheese with fried green tomatoes on it, he was in love. For myself I went with the barnyard club which was a classic turkey club that also included ham. My favorite part was that a Caesar salad could come as a side with NO EXTRA COST. I will do anything for a good Caesar salad, but it's always such a bummer when it costs extra vs an original salad- not here, have all the side salad you want no extra cost!! The portions of food are large, we had plenty of leftovers. The service was fast & friendly. The outside looked like it had a great view on the pond, but it was too hot out that day for us to enjoy it. If you ever find yourself in Myrtle Beach pop into one of their locations! read more

Bland food, ridiculous wait once seated, questionable service, overpriced. Probably wont be back.

I ordered a special martini and asked specifically for a martini glass. The waitress assured me that it would be coming in a martini glass. Well, it came in a highball glass and I did complain, but I did drink the cocktail then I got to thinking, why did I accept That drink when a martini should be in a martini glass. When I complained and asked her to remove it from the bill she ran over to the manager and would not even come back to the table. The manager refused to take the drink off the tab. I see this as a sign of a very Unbending attitude toward customers. I will not be returning there. Poor customer service!!! read more

Passing through Myrtle Beach, we decided to grab a bite before going back home. Grumpy Monk looked like it could be good, but once we saw the Poutine Fries, we knew it was not gonna be good. The gravy was okay, but Poutine fries are supposed to have cheese curds not cheese slices. #trash I ordered the 8 wings. I could barely tasted the Thai honey on one halfof my wings. The other half was supposed to be garlic parmesan. I guess I'm used to more garlic. Our server took forever to check on us and lunch service wasn't even busy. Unfortunately we did not have the best experience. Don't know how long it will be before we come back to try it again. #sorrynotsorry read more

Hire new servers,bartender, and manager. After 20 minutes we walked out. They took the order, just never delivered. The manager was no help read more

The hostesses were nice and helpful! Our servers name was Patrick and he was the same. We had a table of 8, and a few of our things were forgotten (drink & a side). We got wings and loaded fries, and when the fries came the cheese was cold. We told our waiter and he immediately apologized, took them back, and fixed it. The food was DELICIOUS, my only complaint being that my wings were a little more like room temp but no worries since they were probably made first. It was so good, even with the little hiccups! read more

So a few people suggested we should come here and especially for happy hour (4pm-7pm). To be honest, you can pass and find something else. The happy hour and the overall food was just not great! I don't know if it was because of happy hour but the portions were extremely small. We ordered the following: 5/10 Crispy Cauliflower The description said it had some heat to it.. no heat, and no flavor. 6/10 Zip a dee do Shrimp It was okay, nothing special. The drink was very small as well. The service was good! Just not worth the trip though. read more

Any place that has a build your own salad is a winner in my book! Started with the monk turds which were funny to order but worth it. Got the Dougie sandwich which had a decent amount of chicken on it. The build your own salad was a nice treat. The drinks were really yummy and our waitress Gabrielle was so sweet read more

Service was quick. It has a bar vibe and smelled like a bar as well (alcohol). Food was okay nothing out of the ordinary.

The runner was very sweet and helped us out a lot. She made us feel very welcomed. SHE DESERVES A RAISE!!!

Live music. Tasty food. Decently priced drinks. What more could you ask for... They don't take reservations during summer months so I showed up around 7pm and asked to be put on the waiting list. I was told they weren't adding anymore people to the list that night because it was full until closing. They are currently short-staffed like many places so understandable. However, the bar was available. I got the Greek chicken with the tomatoes, feta cheese and spinach on top. It comes with 2 sides. I'll definitely be back. read more

Decor was the best I've seen. Prices were good for a tourist town. Food portions were huge. My family had the buffalo dip, chicken tenders, rodeo burger and shrimp tacos. Entrees came with 2 sides. Ceasar salad dressing was very good. Don't be afraid of the sushi, random add on to that sort of menu but my family loved it. We had a party of 6. Gratuity was added not sure if it's because of party size or added to all checks. We will definitely be back. Try it, you won't be disappointed. Service was good too. read more

Patio seating is amazing. Right on the water, you can watch the sped boats whiz by. Service is great. We had the vegan black bean burger patties. Yummy. read more

My family and i didn't know where to go and were recommended this place. It was SO GOOD! Our waiter was awesome he recommended the best things. We got the chicken strips and chicken wings we loved it. Super juicy chicken cooked perfectly. I never write reviews but wanted to make sure I wrote this one! We will definitely be back. read more

We were only ones in line to accept outside cause it was so hot. The attendant took us out and seated us next to the wall, we ask him could we sit on the water and he said NO. There was only one table seated at the time. He said we had to sit where the waitress was available. He brought about 10 tables after us and they all sat on the water. No other table was seated next to the wall before we left. read more

We waited about 30 mins for our text before being able to sit at dinner. I think part of this was it was a rainy day and the outside seating wasn't available. Once inside we ordered chips and queso. We enjoyed it, but could've used more chips in the order. Beer was reasonably priced for happy hour. The kids really enjoyed their food which was a hamburger, grilled cheese, and Mac and cheese. My husband had the hangover which he said had a lot of flavor; however, the egg could've been more runny. I had the cluck oink ranch wrap which was delicious. I'm not the biggest ranch person but theirs was great! If we are back in Myrtle anytime soon, we will definitely be back! read more

This one was a much more inviting and fun experience than the one in 501 for us. It's beautiful and on the water. We were able to walk through the bar but then out of it so it didn't feel like such a bar style atmosphere. We had attentive and fast service although it was busy. Their salads are huge and we're definitely shareable! The shrimp and other foods were fresh and well prepared! Fun spot with beautiful view! Great new option and we loved it!! read more

Tonight was our first time at this location (we like their 501 location). Service was great. Place looked clean. Beer was cold and fresh. Waffle fries and regular fries were good. Both of our burgers were extremely salty. We did not finish them. Way over salted. Wings were dry, seemed over cooked. We ll.come back and try other things, just not burgers or wings again. read more

Very friendly service! Upon entering, the place smelled a little weird, but I had one of the best burgers I have ever eaten!

Rarely do I give bad reviews. This one deserved it. Yelp reviews talked about Calabash fish which is what I wanted. No Calabash on the menu. The blackened mahi had almost no seasoning. The first half was bland but the fish was moist and flaky. The second half had such an off putting taste I didn't finish it. Was looking forward to a good southern Cole slaw as the side but it was so overdressed it was swimming in sauce. My advice- find something local. I should have known. read more

Shopping in Broadway at the Beach, which I describe as the "Disney Springs" of Myrtle Beach except with Cape Cod like stores and more activities to do, we stumbled upon this cute Restaurant, The Grumpy Monk. Now, for the name alone, and because we were curious what a Grumpy Monk would serve his guests, we decided to try it out for lunch. I was accompanied by my son and nephew (who is of drinking age). The place has a cute charm to it. The bar was long and lined with barrels to add to the decor. I can see this being a hopping place at night time. The menu has a lot in it - on top of traditional bar flair, there was a whole sushi menu. Something about eating sushi in this ale-themed restaurant felt wrong. So we didn't even attempt to look at those options. My nephew attempted to order a beer and was directed to an app that looked to only have 3 options. The first one he picked they had none left. Later on we realized that the tap menu was on the monitors up on the wall - why the waitress didn't point that out was odd. My son ordered crab dip - it was ok. Heavy on the processed cheese. Tasted like melted Kraft American cheese with artificial crab meat in it. Kinda tasty kinda not. He didn't order anything else after that. I ordered the large pretzel for the table. It was ok - softer than a Bavarian pretzel should be. I recommend that offer something other than plain mustard to go with it - perhaps a maple mustard or honey mustard. Even Dijon. The cheese was ok - would have been better if it was beer based cheese sauce. I got a blackbean burger in a lettuce bun with tater tots. Bonus points for offering tater tots - extra points for them coming out super crispy. Best part of my meal! The burger was fine, but the "lettuce bun" was made out of small Romaine leaves - next time use a few slices of ice berg - a) it's cheaper and b) it covers the burger better. This ended up being a knife and fork burger. Last, my nephew ordered the calabash fish meal. For $20, you'd expect a lot of fish. It was "lunch size" portioned. He left hungry. All in all, I think this is the kind of place that comes alive at night. Try it out just to say you went to the Grumpy Monk. Stick to the beers and burgers though! read more
