The espresso-encrusted filet mignon is absolutely incredible--hands down the best steak I've had in North or South Carolina in the past three years! The shrimp and grits are also outstanding. Joanne has been our server several times, and she is phenomenal. Her attention to detail and level of service truly set her apart. The complimentary salad and warm cornbread are a perfect start to the meal, and for dessert, don't miss the chocolate mousse shooter--it's the ideal sweet finish if you love chocolate. Exceptional food, amazing service, and a great overall dining experience. Highly recommend! read more

It was date night so we thought we'd give Parsons Table a try! We loved the quaint ambiance! We were seated quickly and quickly greeted! We ordered cocktails to start. My wife was not thrilled with her Vodka martini, especially being served in a metal martini glass, but my Manhattan was just fine! I ordered the Manhattan Clam chowder and she had a half dozen oysters. Both were excellent! We were served warm bread and butter followed by a salad which is very uncommon these days! My entree was the shrimp and scallops and hers was the duck breast! The shrimp and scallops were good but nothing like I've ever had before! Not sure I'd get them again! My wife's Duck was cooked perfectly and was delicious, although she ordered the fingerling potato's but got garlic mashed instead! With dinner we had an excellent bottle of wine that was very reasonably priced! Dessert was very good! read more

Wowza. What a cool restaurant. Served as a Methodist church since 1885. The inside is gorgeous. Dined with 3 other family members. We were greeted with delicious corn bread by our server Joanne, who said she has been at Parson's for 26 years. We enjoyed the sesame seared tuna with soy, ginger, wasabi, apricot glaze, toasted sesame seeds and pickled ginger, and the Parmesan encrusted chicken with shrimp, sun-dried tomatoes, capers and lemon butter sauce. Shout out to Joann for her great service. She kept us laughing. Parson's has won awards from Wine Spectator for their incredible wine offerings. When in Little River, make sure to check this place out. read more

this is a very special restaurant. exceptional decor, menu offerings and service. it is not inexpensive, but is a case of you get what you pay for. Perfect location for a special occasion. One way I judge a high quality restaurant is if they serve espresso. And they do! Highly recommended. Reservations definitely needed. read more

Ok ...Here's the deal we had a "decent" meal. Environment was very nice. Very nice place. Matthew did a really good job. So why only 2 stars. Well food was good, probably above average for a regular restaurant. Below average for the pricing. Appetizers were: Sesame Sered Tuna (very good) Prince Edward Island Mussel(very bad) Savery Wild Mushrooms plate ( not even sure what to say about this, maybe a good side for a burger) We had the Pork Wiener Schnitzel (good) The Sauteed Panko Encrusted Flounder(good but a littled burned) The fish of the day (good) The scallops (good ... but too salty) Pan Sered Duck Breast(good but pretty fatty) Salmon (good) Sorbet (highlight or the entire meal) Now why they earned 2 stars instead of 3. I told Matthew that over half the Mussels were bad. No apologies, no manager, no offer of a free coffee or anything. VERY POOR BUSINESS thinking. Everyone makes mistakes, it's how you handle those that separates the MEN from the BOYS. In short, Service was great. Food was above average for a regular restaurant, Below average for the pricing. Price was way high. May return, but probably not too soon. Guys! You're missing the goal post by a few inches! Pull your stuff together. read more

My wife and I came here for our birthday (we share the same birthday). It's been about two or three years since we've been to The Parson's Table. If you've never been here, it's a very unique restaurant. It used to be an old Methodist church and maintains much of decor. There are numerous stained glass windows including the large one in the main dining room from the old Baptist Church in our town of Mullins. Our server, Joanne, was fantastic and as friendly as can be. My wife ordered the Prime Rib which was both flavorful and tender. Absolutely delicious. I ordered the special which was Triggerfish cooked in a beautiful sauce that contained delicious sun dried tomatoes. Loved it. We love this place definitely need to come back more often. read more

I am sad to give the first ever negative review of a once favorite restaurant. First, it was clear the restaurant was severely understaffed. Our server was overburdened with too many tables and appeared frazzled at times. My tendering was undercooked and grisly. Even the second one they sent out was not a cut worthy of the price. Thet have raised prices and cut favorite items from the menu. So disappointing read more

One of our favorite places for date night or to impress friends! The food and atmosphere are both amazing!

This place is so charming. The wood and stained glass were beautiful together. I hate I did not get any pictures of the inside. We started the Pan Seared Shrimp (Maple, ginger and soy glazed shrimp with wilted spinach). The shrimp was delicious. The spinach was so so. They bring out a basket of cornbread. Very good to this southern girl! Our waiter, Josh, was very nice and helpful. I like to ask for recommendations and he gave me his honest opinion on my two choices. I went with the special, Blacked Grouper with Bacon Aioli over Cheddar Grits. The side was a squash, zucchini, carrot medley. This dish was divine. The fish was cooked perfectly and the bacon aioli was a great flavor addition. The cheddar grits were delicious with the grouper and cooked correctly. My husband had the NY Strip with the vegetable medley and fingerling potatoes. I had the NY Style Cheesecake for dessert, very creamy. My husband had the Crème Brulee. It was very good, just a bit smaller than I am used to seeing. We will definitely visit again. I have to try the Parmesan Encrusted Chicken with Shrimp. read more

Food not worth the money .. I had the scallops ans shrimp.. scallops i received 4 of them the size of a nickel.. with 6 shrimp .. that were very small .. not worth forty something dollars .. my friend had the grouper on special way over cooked.. service great ... food not so great read more

What a pleasant experience and McKenzie (our beautiful and talented waitress) definitely added to the Ambiance. Having a special dinner is often the highlight of our annual trip to Myrtle Beach. Our group of 4 were in agreement that this was definitely the best meal of the day from salad to dessert. This would be the best place to celebrate a special event for sure. Do yourself a favor and request Mckenzie. read more

I was invited for my birthday dinner. Not the type of place I would pick for myself. It's a renovated church into a restaurant. The stained glass windows were beautiful. The tables were so close, felt like we were packed in. Also had a banquet feel based on the paper tablecloths and basket of cornbread and crackers. The cornbread was warm and delicious! We got a house salad with dressing, again, felt like banquet service. I ordered the NY strip with fingerling potatoes and green beans. The steak was large and tasty. Cooked to perfection! There was only a small portion, sadly. For dessert we got the apple pie, which was warm and amazing!! read more

First. The building is beautiful. I love the history of the place and all the Stainglass windows. Our server was amazing and the food was as well. I've been wanting to try this place and it did not disappoint read more

Lovely meal at the Parsons Table. The only knock is that the service took a LONG time. We waited for an hour just to have our salads served and almost another hour just for our entrees. Besides all that, the meal was superb! The restaurant is an old converted church from 1885 with so much charm. There's stained glass and many features that have lots of history here. The floors creek and this was quaint and rustic. I enjoyed a lovely meal of scallops and shrimp with mushroom gravy, sweet potato mash and green beans. The salad they serve is good. They only have a delicious vinegarette for dressing but I see why. It's sweet and tangy. All in all our dinner was delish and I would definitely return. read more

Very reliable, always good service and good food! I totally enjoy dining at the Parsons table!

My husband and I visited The Parson's Table with family to celebrate our sister-in-law's birthday while visiting the NMB area. The restaurant is located in a beautiful old church with stained glass windows. There was plentiful parking in their attached (paved) lot in front of the restaurant. Every table gets a basket of crackers with a (chive?) cream cheese spread, and cornbread with whipped butter. The cornbread was incredibly moist, served warm, and was outstanding! Each entree also gets a nice house salad with their vinaigrette dressing. My husband had the pork chop with fingerling potatoes, and I had the salmon with the leek and garlic mashed potatoes. Meals are served with a vegetable of the day--green beans in our case. Portions are generous, and I couldn't eat my entire meal. My husband especially enjoyed his pork chop, which was an inch thick, fully cooked, and yet still very juicy. My salmon was also fully cooked, and moist. I enjoyed the accompanying lemon butter sauce. Their prices are comparable to other fine dining restaurants in the area. And the service is very good, even though we had to wait a bit longer than usual for our entrees because we were behind some larger tables. Even so, we'll likely return if we are visiting with family again. read more

The ambience in this former church building with beautiful stained glass windows is excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive. Everyone enjoyed the pre-meal cornbread. The dinner salads are fairly standard, but reasonably good. My two companions really enjoyed the Swordfish Special and Braised Beef Short Rib, but the Slow Roasted Prime Rib of Beef was not as tender as expected (although still very tasty). The desserts (Bread pudding with Whiskey Sauce, Banana & Pineapple Praline, Seasonal Sorbet) were all excellent. read more

Beautiful historic church and great food. Service friendly and atmosphere nice and intimate. Highly recommend!

This is one of the coolest restaurants around with the stained glass windows! One of my favorite restaurants in the Myrtle Beach area. Got the duck this time - the duck and the prime rib are my 2 favorites. My mother likes the shrimp and scallops. I also treaded myself to the chocolate pecan pie. The service as always was exemplary . read more

50th wedding anniversary so I wanted to go someplace special. Parson's Table is that and much more!! There were six people in our party and every one had something different. Every meal from the apps to the main course to the desserts was outstanding!! I had a wagyu steak, which was one of the specials, and it was prepared and seasoned perfectly. The flavors literally danced on my tongue!!! So tender I could cut the steak with my fork. No kidding!!!! The waiter, Jamie, was very patient with us as I told him we wanted to take our time and enjoy the evening... and we did. When I made the reservation I requested a quiet corner. We were placed in a nook that had walls on three sides but plenty of room for the six of us so mission accomplished. Overall ambiance was fantastic as the building was originally a small church complete with stained glass windows. Only complaint I have was my after dinner brandy was served in a rocks glass instead of a brandy snifter. Quite bush league for an upscale restaurant but it wasn't a big enough deal to me to lower the rating from 5 stars. I highly recommend this place (just don't get brandy LoL)!! read more

Unique surroundings: it's an old church. Table: paper tablecloth My wife & I ate there last night (Feb. '25). She had grouper. I had ribeye with sweet potato/carrot puree. I had lemonade, my wife had water. We each had a dessert, bill before tip: $130. Dinner came with cornbread & salad. The salad was actually a plate of lettuce with an italian-ish dressing. The cornbread was good, the desserts were good. Her fish? Smelly & no flavor to speak of. My steak was OK, but lots of gristle and fat. neither one of us liked the flavor of my sweet potato/carrot puree. Too many other restaurants out there giving a much better meal for that kind of $$$. We won't be back. read more

My first time at The Parson's Table exceeded my expectations. Husband and I were there to surprise my Dad for his 80th birthday dinner. Our reservations were 5:30, so we opted to arrive early and have a drink at the bar, where Geri expertly mixed me a Plymouth martini, which felt appropriate for the setting, a cozy converted church with an eclectic mix of stained glass, artwork, and accolades lining the walls. Service is top notch, warm and welcoming, and ready to help make the most of your dining experience. Our wonderful server, Kendra, helped us navigate the menu, and checked in with the kitchen to make sure they could accommodate my gluten allergy. I opted for a half dozen oysters, sourced from the James River, for my starter course. Small, slightly sweet flavor bombs, enhanced by a tangy mignonette sauce and a squeeze of fresh lemon. All entrees are served with the house salad, a choice of starch (ours was garlic and leek mashed potato, sweet potato and carrot puree, or roasted fingerlings) and the vegetable of the day. The fresh garden salad is loaded with veggies and is quite tasty. Our vegetable was green beans, although they looked more like haricot verts - small, thin, and crisp-tender. Yummy. I chose the small plate of shrimp and grits as my entree, so my starch was the cheese grits used as the base of this excellent dish. Plump, sweet local shrimp - I'm so grateful for our local fishermen and women. (Note - portions are large, so come hungry or be prepared to leave with leftovers. My small plate of shrimp and grits did double duty as lunch the next day, and was just as good reheated.) Other dishes that got rave reviews: my dad's seared tuna - he asked Kendra to compliment the chef on a perfect rare sear; the soup du jour, a hearty French Onion; and the prime rib. My father also enjoyed a slice of Key Lime pie, complete with birthday candle, for his dessert. The rest of us were too full from dinner to indulge. If you have a special occasion to celebrate, or just want to enjoy being pampered at a lovely restaurant, The Parsons Table is a fine choice. Bon appétit! read more

It's off my favorites list. Don't mind that the menu hasn't changed in 15 + yrs. but same meal not nearly as delicious as years past & inside has lost its charm. Outside needs cleaning, more weeds than anything else, peeling paint on steps and building, a broken discarded umbrella at entrance. Seriously? At table beer glasses are now water glasses, paper protectors for tablecloths ( I get that) server didn't know you use flutes for champagne. Needs some fresh paint inside as well.

Okay, there are plenty of mixed reviews here and some of the bad reviews have merit. So I will try to be fair and sort the facts from the, well you know trivial. So yes, they could spray the weeds and garden a bit outside, add a little new paint and clean the beautiful windows. The place feels a tad bit tired as some have mentioned. When we arrived we were promptly escorted to a table right next to two large parties...having a party. It was so loud it was truly deafening. My wife asked if there was a quieter table and the young gentleman without hesitation moved us to a small quiet room with lovely stained glass. Perfect. We ordered drinks which were made well but we did wait a long time for their amazing cornbread to be brought out. The butter that came with the bread was great except they might want to leave it out a bit to soften, tasty but hard as ice. My oysters Rockefeller was quite nice although the oysters were small. Probably whats available. My wife got the crab cake and was thoroughly impressed with it. For entrees we both got the rack of lamb. Phenomenal. Nothing else needed to be said. Cooked to rare perfection. I would go back just for this alone. And although we are not dessert people we shared the key lime pie. All the desserts are house made and the key lime was amazing. Lastly our waiter, Jaimie, was very nice and professional. He has a bright future in store. read more
