Offering Dine -In, Take Out, and Delivery.
The pizza here is superb and unlike your typical pizza place! I love the wraps, sandwiches, and hummus appetizers. They have specialty gourmet pizzas, wings, salads, gourmet sandwiches, and wraps. Plus, the North Myrtle Beach location is a game zone and very family-friendly.
Soho:
Soho Café & Bar
406 21st Avenue
North Myrtle Beach, SC
Phone: 843-443-9441
Soho for sushi!!!! On 21st Ave between Ocean Blvd. and Kings Hwy. Opens at 11 am. Best sushi in town with a variety to satisfy even picky (vegetarian) tastes like mine! Also has a variety of other Asian cuisine like hibachi. Outside and inside seating. Takes on more of an intimate bar atmosphere after 7pm but can be for the whole family before that.
Mt. Atlanticus Miniature Golf:
Mt. Atlanticus
707 N Kings Hwy
Myrtle Beach, SC
Phone: 843-444-1008
This is my favorite mini-golf because of the variety, (inside and outside holes from challenging to not so much, plus two different courses), the architecture/curb appeal – lots of tiki huts, caves etc., and amazing views from the top of the final holes. I always take visiting friends and family to this Myrtle Beach attraction.
Medieval Times:
Medieval Times
Two dinner shows daily in the summer. Everyone has to go there at least once. Plan on getting into the spirit of things by using your worst fake British accent and enjoying a utensil-free dinner. While the acting is over the top the actual horsemanship and tournament are very entertaining. They do have a vegetarian version of dinner if you ask in advance! The sheer spectacle is the fun of it so get into it – wear that crown, wave the flag and cheer for your knight like he’s your hometown hero. Parents should know there is a major souvenir shop that is the lobby and plenty of opportunities to spend over and above the ticket price through photos, flags, crowns, etc. – just a fair warning.
Sun City Café
801 Main St.
Myrtle Beach, SC
Phone: 843-445-2992
Sun City Café – The best Tex-Mex/Mexican in all of Myrtle Beach – perhaps all of South Carolina. Food is fresh, homemade, the portions are ridiculously large (enough for sharing) and the staff could not be more gracious. It is truly a hidden secret in downtown Myrtle Beach that is worth finding. Everyone that I have recommended to try this restaurant has agreed it’s a little bit of southern heaven!
Bimini’s Oyster Bar & Seafood Café
930 Lake Arrowhead Rd.
Myrtle Beach, SC
Phone: 843-449-5549
Bimini’s has been a favorite among Seafood Lovers, Locals & Parrotheads Since 1985. Bimini’s has brought the taste and feel of the Islands to the beach. Add the sounds of Jimmy Buffet, Island Reggae, and of course beach music and you have not just a Restaurant, but the Biminis experience!
Ciao Italian Restaurant
5223 N Kings Hwy.
Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
Phone: 843-449-5700
Ciao’s is always good food, good fun and great fellowship with locals and visitors alike. Fresh Italian bread with an olive oil/pesto dipping oil, yummy! The sauces are fresh and flavorful- just the right amount of spice. Desserts are a must and there is something to please every palate. Special orders are no problem for picky diners.
Dirty Don’s Oyster Bar & Grill
408 21st Avenue North
Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
Phone: 843-448-4881
Whether you’re a local or a tourist, this food-drinkery is a must; you’ll enjoy it so much you’ll swear “there is a law against it.” Both inside and outside dining are available. Happy Hour is Monday thru Friday 4PM til 7PM featuring $.35 shrimp, oysters, wings and reduced drink prices.
Carrabba’s
6803 North Kings Highway
Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
Phone: 843-467-2600
Don’t dismiss this restaurant because it’s a franchised operation. The owner Craig Payne is a first rate when it comes to hospitality and quality food. All meals are made to order and his wait staff is friendly and knowledgeable – the best wait staff on the beach!
“Call Ahead” seating is available, but if it’s crowded and you’re hungry & your party is small, try sitting at the bar which, like the entire restaurant, is Non-smoking. The service is just as good as in the dining room, and the bartenders here will leave you with a smile.

The Marshwalk
In Murrell’s Inlet
Located in the heart of the “Seafood Capital of South Carolina”, the Marshwalk is a cluster of award winning restaurants along Business 17. This once sleepy fishing village is now a great evening destination for dinner and after dinner entertainment. The restaurants are connected by a boardwalk, which allows you to move from place to place without moving your vehicle. If you’re looking for live music and great views, this is the place.
Brookgreen Gardens/Lowcountry Excursions
I love this place and I take all my friends here when they come to visit me. Brookgreen Gardens is a sculpture garden designated as a National Historic Landmark and features the work of American sculpture artists. The setting is a beautifully landscaped former rice plantation, which includes both perennial and seasonal plantings, 250 year old live oaks with Spanish Moss and massive azaleas.
You can visit the Lowcountry Zoo which has both native wildlife species and plantation service animals, as well as an Aviary with an elevated boardwalk over the cypress swamp. To learn more about the wildlife and the history of the local plantations, take guided tour on the 48 foot pontoon boat through the old rice fields.
