    Thonry's was great! Fun atmosphere! The food was very good!!! Service was a little slow but okay!

    Have went to a lot of places here on our two week stay found this one the last day of our stay they had just turned the open sign off when we pulled up but they come out as we were getting ready to find something else and said to come on in they would serve us. Glad we went in was the best meal yet will be back every time we are here now ! Service was excellent as well

    Ok, first off my wife and I are hard core foodies and sports fanatics. We were visiting Myrtle Beach and saw Thornys driving down the street and said let's check it out for the late Sunday NFL games. Which we did and the first thing to note is when you walk in it's like walking into a time capsule. I spoke to the very proud welcoming owner Joe about the decor, he gave me the history of the restaurant, which is decades old and passed through the family. Let me share A LOT of luv, work and creative thought went into their motif. And it was a family affair all the way. The whole place is a warm feel, great vibe and great friendly service. It doesn't feel like a sports bar, although has TVs everywhere including some tables. The menu has a variety of options, healthy non healthy, you choose. We had the ribs which were awesome and gone in 5 minutes. The prices for drinks, were the best in town. I'm not sure why they only have 3 stars, but they sincerely put 99% of sports bars I've been to shame. Thank you Joe for being you and thank you Lindsey for being a beautiful, legit, kick ass bartender! We luv Thornys! With a great experience in mind! Cheers, Ken!

    We got seated for an hour and forgotten about. We didn't say anything because we figured it was busy but it really wasn't too busy. Once our waiter was told she forgot us, she rolled her eyes and didn't give us our drinks for another 10 minutes. We were staring at this point and I really just wanted anything to put in my stomach. Besides the food being overpriced for what it is, our waiter didn't bring us our side of slaw and so when we politely asked for it because we assumed she just forgot, she rolled her eyes and brought us slaw WITHOUT THE CREAM. It was interesting to say the least, and we still tipped 15% after she rudely disappeared after chucking a bill at us. Keep in mind we said nothing to her about this all and we acted normal and gave her the benefit of the doubt, yet still acted this way.

    What the coupon gets you, a cheap box of taffee

    We started with potato skins and they came out so burnt you could taste the burnt on the bottom (there was 8 of them). She said she would have them remade and she only brought out 4 and they were still burnt! 3 steaks were ordered and all of them had no seasoning. We had a party of 6 but only ordered for 5 of us and they added a $25 gratuity fee for meals and service that were terrible. Had a coupon for what used to be a free t-shirt but now they only give you a small box of taffee after spending all that money. We were dissatisfied and will not be going back!!

    The food was decent enough. Most of the servings are good sized proportions with the exception of the chicken for the price. Service was good which means a lot for me returning. If you like watching sports while seated at a table, there are plenty of tvs for a good view. Some tables even have tvs at them. This is perfect for a Saturday during college football season. We will go back to give them another try.

    Food was ok, service was ok and the ambiance was ok. Fun decor interior. A bit pricey for the items we had.

    Went on a Wednesday night around 8 and were sat immediately. We ordered michelob draft and Buffalo shrimp as an appetizer. As meals I got the chicken quesadilla starter and my daughter got the Alfredo side because she doesn't like chicken and my husband got the fried chicken sandwich. Service was great and we loved all our food. Will definitely go back!

Whoever thought to make it savory instead of sweet missed the mark. The flavors of the slaw clashed with the rest of the plate. The fish was tasty and the chips were seasoned well and plentiful. We could return here and feel ok with it.

It's well decorated and it was quiet when we came but it is December so it's definitely not tourist season. Our bartender was a fantastic guy and made a mean drink and fun conversation. Although we came for a few drinks, we ended up getting some dinner as well. The food isn't anything fancy but is was surprisingly tasty. I had the Heat Burger and wow was it flavorful. My only problem was the bun. It was stale and fell apart while I was eating the burger. Still good though. We also had the Margarita Flatbread which was also flavorful. Loved the texture and the fresh ingredients. Definitely worth checking this place out even if you're not staying at the Hampton.

They have a full gluten free menu. The kids menu also includes seafood which I appreciate for my seafood loving crew. I ordered the Fry Basket with Shrimp and Oysters. My mom ordered the same but also had flounder with it. My son ordered a Caesar salad with a side of fried flounder. Everyone was very impressed with the amount and quality of the food. I honestly didn't take great pictures because we were too busy eating! It was a very busy day the day we were there bc of the Kentucky derby party but we were still seated quickly and our food came out fairly quickly. They take a lot of precautions when dealing with allergies and it was appreciated. They even identify that it is gluten free when they deliver the food as well. I can't wait to return and try the short rib macaroni and cheese. The ambiance is booths and tables around a bar. They also have a great outdoor space due kids to run around and play.

The salmon was perfectly seasoned and cooked, the hush puppies were crispy on the outside and deliciously soft inside, and the slaw was fresh and flavorful.

They do tons of carry out (very busy while we were there)!! You place your order and pay first. Then, have a seat and wait for it to be delivered. If you need a drink refill, you need to go up to that. We went for steamed crabs only, but the rest of the food looks amazing. People I was with have eaten there before and raved about how fresh and delicious everything in the menu was. This trip was steamed crabs only. We ordered #1's for $48/dozen. We also ordered sodas. They do have beer to go with the crabs too! Didn't wait long. They were good. However, I don't think they were #1 level. At the most maybe mediums. We had several that were paper thin and no meat. They were full. Very watery and not seasoned nearly enough. We weren't expecting Maryland style crabs as we are in South Carolina, but weee hopeful they would be steamed and seasoned a little more. They do need those little food fans on the tables as the flies were annoying (we sat inside). Had to put napkins on top of our cups. The service here is lovely! Just super friendly and welcoming. Shoutout to Justin?? Might have been Nick - ugh, can't remember. Young kid, dark hair. They were so busy, and they were for sure stretched thin. He did his best and even checked on us once while also bussing tables, taking orders, sweeping, delivering food, etc. Was debating between a 3 or 4, but realized that shouldn't hold them responsible for replicating a different style of steaming crabs and seasoning them. The service and atmosphere were great. Their food in general is delicious,

It sounded delicious and so delicious that it caused an argument between the hubs and I. We both wanted to get it but I didn't want us to get the same thing. Well I can honestly say, I'm glad he got the same thing as me. Because the shrimp crunch wrap was SO YUMMY! I definitely wouldn't have wanted to share. It came with chips as a side. The vibe was nice but picking between patio, inside patio or inside. Thinking if you pick inside you'll be sitting in the AC, well you'd be wrong, it was so humid and sticky inside. When you sit down, they ask for a card to put on file for a tab. Even if you are paying in cash or with a different card. They just need to have a card on file. It's weird but whatever. I suppose it's for a reason. The server was nice. Would we come back here again, yes for the shrimp crunch wraps!
