We really enjoyed the food. I love fried pickle spears but no one ever has them, only the chips. I was so happy to get the spears here. They were so good! The mushrooms were also great. Our sandwiches were great and there was plenty of food! We enjoyed the ambiance as well. Very fun place to visit! read more

Great food and great service would highly recommend! We got 2 racks of ribs with trio fries (ribs were excellent), chicken Alfredo (best they'd ever had!), large salad with homemade ranch dressing that was soooo good for you ranch people! My son got wings they weren't bad but nothing special! Highly recommend for a good affordable meal! read more

Did not disappoint. Greeted warmly by hostess and seated promptly. Server was friendly and attentive, checking on us often. Food was delicious and cooked perfectly. Reasonably priced steak dinner. Will definitely be back when I'm in town again. read more

Hello, I went to Thorny's Steak House today with my family and my sister's family. My sister and her family where visiting from out of state. It is Labor day weekend, so I thought I better get there early or it will be packed for the weekend. I went in Sunday Sept 3rd 2023 at 11:30 am with 11 people for a big meal before the beach. When I arrived, the place was empty with only two other tables filled that I could see. The receptionist was nice and seated us quickly. We all ordered drinks followed by meals and everything was going fine. The waitress did great dealing with all the kids at the table. Then after about 10 minutes, the waitress came out and told me the Prime Rib was not ready because they did not put it in the oven soon enough and it takes a long time to cook. I was annoyed because Thorny's is known for Prime Rib and that's why I went in the first place, but I was a good sport and ordered a New York strip medium rare. I did not complain once. All the food came out and everyone was happy. My New York strip was burnt to a crisp with no pink in the middle and burned on the outside edges, but I was again a good sport and did not complain. I ate the burn parts of the steak that where not too gross. Then my bill came. On my bill was a $32 dollar charge for Prime Rib. I did not get Prime Rib because they told me it was not ready. As a result, I went up to the front desk to ask the receptionist politely about the amount of the bill. The receptionist was a thin middle aged woman that was polite and said she would grab the manager. Then the manager came out. He was a short heavy set male in his 30s dressed in street close. I asked the manager if Thornys specialized in Prime Rib? He said they did specialize in Prime Rib. So I let him know I came in for the Prime Rib, but that it was not ready, so I had to substitute a different entree for the Prime Rib, but that the Prime Rib was being charged on my bill. The manager rudely statched the receipt out of my hand and said I was a "Conceited Jerk." Then he turned his back on me and walked away. I stood there for a minute confused about the verbal attack. I then looked at the receptionist and said, "Did he just call me a conceited jerk?" The receptionist nodded. I then asked the receptionist. "Did I deserve that?" The receptionist shook her head and looked down. I then walked up behind the manager and I said, "I am not a conceited jerk, you are the jerk." He said. "I already know I'm a jerk!" I walked out of Thorny's before I said something I could not take back. I will never return to Thorny's. I do not recommend to anyone to go to Thorny's. I am a local, so I will make sure to tell all my clients NOT to go to Thorny's. I hope the manager is fired or Thorny's goes out of business. The food sucked anyway. The atmosphere was like going back in time to the 1980s. I do not think they have redecorated the place in 30 years. It reminds me of a bad themed cafeteria. read more

My wife and i went here while on vacation on July 4th. The cocktail was more of mocktail, no adult juice to be tasted. The waiter failed to bring appetizer plates and napkins. The onion pedal was dripping with grease. The sides i ordered were mixed up and the coleslaw that was to accompany the meal never arrived. The chicken breast BBQ was dry. The portion of chicken I received was probably 6oz not awful, my wife's was maybe 4 oz. i would not recommend spending your time and money at this establishment. There are far better options in the same price range. read more

Cool place wanted to like my food - smothered chicken with broccoli - wife ordered fried shrimp. Eventually it showed up chicken was really dry and no taste and broccoli was cold. But I ate it cause we were hungry - wife's shrimp was just ok - course it's not a seafood restaurant but the smothered chicken could have been so much better. Will try again as we are locals - the decor is cool like I said I really wanted to like my dinner oh well. read more

Recently visited myrtle beach for a weekend get away. Good food and atmosphere. Kids played in the arcade before dinner. I'd definitely go back. read more

expected more, got less. this establishment was not as great as other's impressions of it from my experience. environment did not stand out. food absolutely failed to impress me. nobody wants to smell a lingering faint bad order while they eat, and something in that restaurant smelled off. staff seemed nice. read more

Sweet potatoes fries really good. Mozzarella cheese appetizer is very cheesy. Not amazing food but it is decent when you need food. They bring out bread rolls which is nice. Buyer was better than expected. Moderately priced food. read more

Great food and service. We were all pleasantly surprised. We got the potatoes skins, shrimp and steak, a patty melt and two kids meals- pasta and chicken bites. Everyone enjoyed the food very much. Affordable in comparison to other similar restaurants. We got an appetizer, kids meals, adult meals and three bar drinks for under $100. Our kids had an especially great time with their arcade. Great atmosphere. Our server was 10/10 and made the experience perfect. We will definitely be back. read more

Gosh, this place was amazing. My nephew, his girlfriend, and I had a blast. Frances was our waitress and she was so kind and attentive. I hope that's her make-short, gray hair. We had shots, fabulous mixed drinks, wings, mozzarella cheese (homemade) and mushrooms. Not a single problem with this place. I'll be back. read more

Never again. Should have checked and I would have seen my review form a year ago. Thus visit was no better. "Chopped Sirloin" wasn't even fresh meat...more a frozen 1/4 pounder except less. The nerve of 11.99 for not even fresh ground beef. Three of us and this was our final disappointment. read more

Just randomly decided to stop in after cruising the strip looking for something to eat while vacationing at Myrtle Beach and I'm glad we did. We started with the fried pickle spears which were lightly breaded and delicious. For dinner I ordered the Fried shrimp P0' boy and my girlfriend ordered the sausage and chicken with marinara. All entrees were piping hot, fresh and tasted amazing. The sausage in her dish must be local because the flavor was not of a store bought variety and was bursting with spices and flavor. The service was great and food delivery was fast. I would definitely recommend eating here! read more

Food is okay but don't order a kid shrimp meal because your kid will only get 4 shrimp

Well this place could not have been nastier or more ridiculous lol. I got a burger that was straight from my elementary school lunch don't go here read more

We ordered the fried mozzarella, wings, and tri fries. Everything was pretty good and we will return. I rated a 3 due to us ordering the wings crispy and they did not come out crispy. Infact the waitress stated the kitchen forgot our order. Also their hot scale rating is weak or we got the wrong sauces. read more

The check was under my husband's sweet potato fries. Very gross. They took it off our bill, but still. Not going back. read more

The staff was super friendly, but not overly friendly. The food was delicious. I got the mushroom Swiss burger, my bf got the bbq chicken, and my mom got the bacon cheddar burger. Everything came out really quickly. I recommend the strawberry banana daiquiri, and the mozzarella appetizer. The little arcade was fun as well! read more

June 26,2021 - way below average. Host asked us how many to confirm how many in our party, turned around and walked off. Not a word like "follow me or right this way ". Only when he stopped to grab silverware and looked back for us did we realize, oh he wants us to follow. No big deal he probably worked a full-time job and this side gig makes him tired of tourists. We got sat next to an arcade. The youngest in my group was a 17 y/o girl. C'mon moron you really think my daughters wanna play games? It certainly wasn't requested. Sure I could have demanded a different table/location but at the risk of next to the restroom or kitchen is less than desirable too; eh. Better yet - this same server sat a group consisting of a baseball team here for a tournament, ahead of us. Did you not think it might be annoying to an out town family such as ours? Maybe ask if this is okay? If I had not been starving and so late in the evening, I would have left. Appetizers were not what we ordered but still good. Food was hot but quite bland. Typical for a "sports bar", as most intoxicated rarely complain about food quality. Drink refills were offered once we finished eating. I thanked the waiter and tipped him the norm 20%. I explained he might wanna make friends with the host as he isn't doing him any favors. The next family might not be as understanding. Upon exiting the host was still there so I asked him how often he goes to dinner with his family/friends and enjoys sitting next to a ball team in an arcade? He said nothing and just looked puzzled. So I said, surely you understand waiters/waitresses work hard for tips. Do any in my family look interested in playing arcade games? Again, perplexing silence . Have you not figured out the bigger picture yet? As with many other shuttered establishments down here, I would not be surprised to see this one close its doors. Heck, I'd offer to pound the nails in. PS - when did "medium well" become the rarest you are permitted to cook meat? Awful just awful place. read more

We love going here as a family! We always have a large group and they are like a well-oiled machine. Service is fantastic and the price point is great. Our server last week (Josh) was awesome! Happy kids and happy parents. My only comment is so minuscule that I won't even dock a star but they don't serve kids meals on frisbees anymore! read more

Enjoyed very much - good food, good drinks, great service. Will return next time we're in town. Highly recommend

Not only was the wait time longer than what we were told the wait for the food was even longer. We watched several tables that came after us get there food and ate before we received ours. I would not recommend this place to anyone! read more

This place is awesome! Excellent food, stellar service, and very kid friendly. They have an arcade room of games for the kids, a nice bar for the parents, and it's not far at all from the beach & all the shops. If you are visiting Myrtle Beach, this is a must stop in! I got the Rivertown Chicken, and it was perfection! read more

Customer service was great. The food was good. I had absolutely no complaints. Everything was done in a timer manner. I didn't wait long at all. read more

We were the first people to walk in when they opened and did not get our food until about an hour later. We could see our food sitting in the kitchen for about 20 minutes and by the time we received it, everything was cold. Pimento cheese dip is the only reason I'm giving 2 stars. read more

Back again while on vacation. This is a great spot for sports beers. Food is excellent. Service has been great also. Great place for happy hour when we are down or with the whole family. read more

Good food. Great atmosphere. Server was wonderful. Food came out quickly but salads never came. No big deal really as we filled up early on rolls and fried mushrooms which were fantastic. Bathrooms are in desperate need of help. read more

Not from the area, down here visiting for a weekend. We have had terrible luck with food and restaurants so far, hesitant to try this place because of a 3 star rating... all 8 of us were extremely happy with the menu, the service and the food quality. Many of us got the prime rib sandwich and it was a 10/10. The actual prime rib meal was sold out which was a bit disappointing but there was still several quality options on the menu. Very satisfied especially compared to all the other options nearby read more

Uliana takes amazing pictures of your dinner party while dining at Thorny's. The food was awesome and we will definitely be back.

Let me start by saying this food did not disappoint. It was very good. The waiters and waitresses were extremely kind. However, there was a storm and we lost power. We did receive our food but ate it in the pitch black. The cook came out and was so kind everyone was offering phone lights and making sure we were okay. When it came down to the bill we politely asked if there would be any compensation for eating in the complete darkness. Joe Thorny ( owner of Thornys) SHAME ON YOU. The rudest owner of a business we have ever dealt with. We explain that we understand it's not their fault the power went out but we still ate in the dark SMOKY RESTAURANT, as there fans stopped working when the power went out. Joes response was yeah it's not our fault you don't get a discount just because it's dark. We said wow that's rude but fine we won't come back. He proceeds to say okay don't then. I walk up to pay the bill with card Joe takes it from me and then comes back with an attitude and says well the card machine is down looks like you get your discount now go. We were absolutely appalled. Again very nice staff and good food. But very rude and unfriendly man running that business. Unfortunately due to your attitude Joe Thorny you just lost business. read more

Service is great and Hawaiian Ribeye is the greatest. Had it for years since it came out on menu. It's the only thing I eat here. Hawaiian Ribeye. read more

Was recommended to visit this place and couldn't expect any more. A whole horde of people came in at once and it built up more as there was no host at the stand for about 5 minutes, not even a greeting. We got our table quick enough and ordered appetizers before the main meal. A runner gave out the meal but he said absolutely nothing to us not even after thanking him, as he had Airpods in and with a poor attitude of a unamused blank stare to be even working here. The main meal took about 40 minutes to wait for after the appetizers, which was awful to see a party of 5 people sat before us and left before we even got the check. The baked potato didn't even come served as i had thre piece of wrapped butter and a stick of sour cream to put on myself. The host wasn't too helpful as of refilling drinks and checking in but she was very slow with service and there wasn't follow up with why the food was late. The place seems understaffed, not valuing their business and operation. Not satisfied with this visit. read more

A hanging decor plane fell on my head and almost knocked me unconscious.. just a minor knot in my head. My burger burnt and my steak fries and waffle fries tasted like tap water. I waited 200 months to be seated with my family of 70 which is odd because I'm usually seated right away..? This place is recommended if you want bad food but our male waiter was very nice and welcoming read more

Thorny's cooks need some cooking classes. My family went there for Christmas dinner. They wanted steak. They only have 3 steaks on the menu. Prime, NY strip and a ribeye. My husband ask for an unseasoned Ribeye. It was advertised as Hawaiian style. The waiter told my husband he could not get it that way. So my husband did not want anything. We ordered tumbleweed onions and got strings of onions in a pile of grease!!! Disgusting...we ordered fried pickles. Got spears with batter not cooked. It was the worst food ever!!! Will never go there again. Ruined our Christmas dinner. read more

food wasn't great and they do an atomatic tip and it ended up being 79 for 3 people to eat

This place is an awesome streak house joint that wouldn't hit your hard in the wallet. The service was great and friendly. The joint is clean and nice bathrooms. The food was awesome. read more
