We stopped into Damon's on a Friday night to celebrate my mom's birthday, and between the oceanfront setting, fantastic service and a VERY good birthday deal, it ended up being a great choice! If you dine in on your actual birthday, your meal is free. They do check your ID at checkout (so no stretching your birthday into a weeklong celebration with this one :P) Since it was a Friday night during the summer, we expected a wait and ended up waiting about 30 minutes. But when you can spend that time in rocking chairs on the oceanfront deck watching the sunset, it's pretty hard to complain and the wait flew by. Our server Courtney was AWESOME. He was attentive, had a great personality and made sure we were taken care of from start to finish. He told us he's been working at Damon's since about 2000, and you can tell he's an absolute asset to the restaurant! My mom had the ribs and sirloin steak combo, my sister had Buffalo chicken tenders, and I went with the Baja Chicken Sandwich. The food wasn't necessarily anything I'd write home about, but it was solid, portions were good, and I LOVED the fries. Courtney also surprised my mom with a piece of chocolate birthday cake at the end of the meal which was nice (and very unexpected) closing touch. For the price, service and oceanfront views, Damon's is hard to beat. And BONUS: they have their own dedicated parking lot, which definitely isn't something you can always count on along this part of Myrtle Beach! I'm pretty sure my family may just have found ourselves a new birthday tradition with Damon's! read more

The food was average nothing spectacular nothing really bad, just average. My wife got the flounder which both of us thought tasted frozen. I got the prime rib dip, lots of bread minimal meat. The service, I will just say they are lucky this is a tourist area because a restaurant that had to rely on repeat local business would not survive with this level of service. Our waiter was very inattentive. As we were leaving one of the waitress was audible rude and loud with a table she was serving over a missing item, as she was heading back towards the kitchen and passed us she was complaining to another staff member about the table loud enough that we and others could hear her. The beach view is nice, however not sure the poor service is worth it. read more

Damons was the first place we ate in Myrtle Beach. It's a favorite of our hosts. And I was there over a month ago and I don't recall what I ate, lol. I remember enjoying the outdoor seating and the view of the ocean. read more

Hmmm. Not sure what the issue is here, appears to be management. The property is a goldmine the restaurant is a comedy of failures. Soup was good, sausage dip was good, salads looked good. SERVICE IS TERRIBLE. A few shining lights but for the most part this place sucks. read more

Granted it's Myrtle Beach. Friday night. Bar staff overwhelmed with standing customers. A full waiting room with customers and not worth the view. Oh, they shut down outdoor services due to wind and cold. Granted, we waited outside on the deck and yup, we wasn't eating out there. But that was the point. Ocean views. 6pm arrival, left at 9 pm. Granted, it wasn't worth the menu. FYI, the cheeseburger was decent. read more

Party of 8! Server had 6 tables spread apart! Sat at 5:30 drink order at 5:50! Food order not taken at 6:20! (ready to order at 6) Food did not show up till "6:50". FOOD WAS COOL!!!!! Server never came for refills but was just to spread out to do his job right! read more

We visit this place yearly on our trip to Myrtle, make sure to make a reservation if you can so you don't have to wait because they can get busy! They are quick to get your order and always treat us well. The food is decent for the price, and the ambiance is pretty laid back. Not bad for an evening dinner by the ocean. read more

My wife had the fried shrimp & fries, I went with the fettuccine Alfredo with steak. The shrimp and fries were hot and crispy, the fettuccine alfredo was actually quite good considering this was not an Italian restaurant my steak unfortunately was overcooked but it was still very tasty, we also enjoyed an onion loaf which was very good as well. Our waiter did a fantastic job of keeping our glasses full and meeting all of our needs without hovering over us constantly. The Ambiance is terrific because you can actually sit outside and enjoy the beautiful ocean breeze while you're having your dinner or drinks the inside is nice also very casual although not very intimate. All in all a solid three and a half Stars. read more

The food was superb! Prime rib was delicious. Salad good. Loaded Bake potatoes were fabulous. My BIL has ribs and he said they were the best he's ever had. The service was good. It was a bit warm due to AC issues, but it was comfortable. read more

Beverly Clement and I (Willie Conway) arrived at Damon's around 4:15pm. We were able to find parking in the front row. The flowers around the front walking area were bright cheerful and beautiful. We walked towards the elevator and the breeze from the ocean was fabulous. Once upstairs we were showed to a table by the window so we could enjoy the view. We were waiting for two more friends to join us this time. I always say...if you love a restaurant bring friends and increase the business for the owner. We asked and they told me Bryan was on vacation. Good for him! Bailey came to us and took our drink requests. She returned quickly. Soon after that our friends arrived. We talked so much they forgot to look at the menu. Bailey kindly offered to return. It was my birthday and I knew I was able to get anything I wanted for free with only a few exceptions. I love how Damon's offers that for our community. It's perfect. I asked for the salad with grilled chicken. The other got steak, prime dip sandwich, and drinks all around. While we ate the laughter was nonstop. The gentleman came around and offered to take our photo. I love that too. A memory from my special day. I ordered three copies ...one for each of my friends. The food was marvelous! Everyone raved about their dish. Following the meal I handed Bailey my ID for proof of birthday today. We noticed 5he lobby filling up and we had a long relaxing meal. I was ready to go. My meal was for free I only had to pay for my drink. Overall it was a fabulous birthday event for me. Thank you Damon's. Willie Conway. read more

We came here for my daughter's 13th bday. I wanted to give this place 5 stars the service was nice and the food tasted good unfortunately it all came out cold. But they make a great rack of ribs and a tasty prime rib. If it's your bday your meal is free too read more

We enjoyed almost everything we had. The ribs and onion loaf were delicious. My dad's prime rib didnt have much flavor and they brought the wrong side and never corrected it even though we asked. The lights are way too bright and it feels stark and institutional. Bringing down the overall lighting and adding the small touch lamps to the table would give it immediate warmth and an elevated feel. The view can't be beat but the atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired and could be easily fixed with a few small tweaks. You're pricing beckons a higher level atmosphere than are being delivered. read more

The food was good. Their wait staff was friendly and went the extra mile to ensure diners enjoy a good dining experience.

Just another fantastic find while touring our 7000 mile trek to see what we've never yet seen in the good ol' USA. We stopped in from next door at the Holiday Inn. Saw this place and decided to walk a very flat and not too far walk but were a little thrown off at the entrance. Then we realized that everything is on stilts and made our way to the elevator. Once upstairs we were greeted and seated quickly for some drinks and some grub. Nice place. Very oceanic themed place. Nice bar and I assume a great view during the day. We couldn't see sh** at night. Drinks were cold and decently prepared. If I remember (on a 7000 mile trip), we shared a very good prime rib dinner. So says the wife, but I couldn't find it on the menu. I remember we were happy after our visit because Justin was on top of the game and made our visit perfect. Another cocktail and we were back on a crooked course back to the resort next door. A pretty bitchen place. CritDicks read more

I had a business lunch here today, and first thing in the door I noticed how filthy dirty the carpets were near and around the main entrance and hostess stand. If you look at where the carpet gets closer to the wall, ITS CLEAN, and everywhere else it's black....thats the grease walking out of the kitchen. You can follow the black trail right out onto the deck for outside seating. I find it disgusting. While I'm waiting for my guest to arrive, 2 women walk directly in front of me in swimsuits and no shoes BARE FEET and this restaurant thinks this is ok....We get sat, order non alcoholic drinks and an appetizer, then lunch sized meals....after the appetizer comes out and we try it and are done, I notice ppl that were seated 15-20 after we arrived, had gotten their food already, I look at my time and notice we've been there 1 hour and 5 minutes with no meals, I ask the waitress who proceeds to bring our meals out with food that had been pounded with a heat lamp, and was dried up and disgusting. We asked for the manager and she immediately said the food had sat too long. The only upside to this experience was that I got to feed birds the crusty muffins they brought out. STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS. Dirty Filthy Restaurant with poor food and poor service. read more

NO AIR CONDITIONING!!! IT WAS OVER 100 DEGREES. The patio was closed in the evening so there was no respite from the heat. The kitchen staff must have been suffering so badly. I gave 3 stars just because our waiter, Kourtney, was exceptional. read more

Why the 3 star overall review? This is a very nice steak house. We only go here for lunch every year when we come to Myrtle Beach. This is by the airport. Nice decor with full beach view. Very polite staff. Great lunch specials for like $14 in August 2026. That's hard to find with rampant food inflation. Generous portions and very well done. That is why Damon's gets a 5 star review. We'll be next year, too. read more

There was nothing good about this experience - we left our dishes untouched. Needless to say we won't be back

Ribs were awesome and the view was a nice touch! I liked the beer there. And it's a great spot to take your family.

Damon's in Myrtle Beach has always been a staple for us whenever we travel, but today's experience was a little different. We love coming here for the salads and the ambience--it's a great location with beautiful waterfront views and usually good service. Our waiter, Alec, was new but very patient and kind, which we appreciated. The issue came with the bar. I ordered the Alligator drink, but it tasted like straight pineapple juice. When we raised the concern, instead of addressing it, we were simply pointed to the menu that included "nonsense" about alcohol. We never asked for a refund--just to be made whole. If a customer orders an alcoholic beverage, they should receive one, not a watered-down or non-alcoholic version. Restaurants should hold their bartenders to the same standard they expect from customers. Accountability should work both ways. As for the food, the salads were good, the bread was hard, the she-crab soup was delicious, and the shrimp skewers were well-prepared. Overall, I'd rate today's visit a 3.5. While the location and views remain a highlight, I hope Damon's steps up its customer service. And if restaurants are now passing credit card fees onto customers, then please also start accepting checks again as a form of payment--it's only fair. read more

Great food with a fabulous view & wonderful staff. We walked in on a whim & even though the a/c was being replaced the folks there made our lunch a fantastic experience. read more

I haven't been here in 20 years but wanted to go back to see if it was as good as I remember it when I was a child....it wasn't. I remember the ribs being the best thing ever so that's what I had to get. I was shocked to find out that they weren't that good, maybe average. There was no smoke ring or smoke flavor so I'm sure these were done in an oven. The sauce was below average. They were cooked correctly but that's about it. I had to think about why I thought this place was so great and I believe it was because when I was a child we didn't get to order ribs ever, except when we came here on vacation. So up until that point in my life these were the best ribs. But now that I am a pit master and have sampled hundreds of ribs...these just don't do the job. They are better than Applebees and maybe Chilis but that's about it. Any smokehouse will have better bbq. On the bright side the she crab soup was pretty damn amazing. It was full of crab...it was practically all crab which was crazy. Most meaty she-crab soup I've ever had. It was a $4 upcharge to sub out a side for the soup....kinda worth it. The shrimp and ribs combo was $25. I got about 1/3 of a rack and about six shrimp. The shrimp were just average also. Service was great and you can't beat the view if you can get a table outside looking out at the ocean. The other thing I didn't remember was the inside....maybe they remodeled...I talked to the server about it and she said it burned down in 1998 and they rebuilt it to what it is now. I'm not sure I've been since 1998 but I thought I had but I didn't recognize the inside at all. My total with a Diet Coke was $35 + tip. Buddy got the burger and it was just average. The blueberry cornbread they give as an appetizer is something nice and different. I'll probably let this place live in my childhood memory as the best ribs but I probably won't come back again in this lifetime. read more

I came here for a working lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. The beautiful ocean view is so nice to have during a meal. The menu is expansive! Their lunch selection has so much variety. I got the grilled chicken which surprisingly was over very flavorful rice, then two sides, pecan sweet potatoes and banana pudding. Everything was delicious!! Our waitress was great and the food came out quickly. Definitely a great spot. read more

I called in an order for carryout after a long, hot day in the sun. The hostess greeted me immediately and let me know they were still working on my order. I took the time to take in the beautiful ocean view. There isn't a bag seat in the house and if I had the energy, I would've sat and enjoyed my meal there. Right after I arrived, a crowd came, several parties back to back. The hostess managed it with ease and I saw several other staff members working hard to get orders to tables. My food arrived and I took it to my resort to eat. Everything was delicious!! We had a sampler and ordered a rib dinner. The highlight for me honestly was the egg roll chicken appetizer thing. It was so good and I want to go back to the beach to get more. This might be a regular stop on my future beach trips. read more

Ribs, Ribs, Ribs! Service is amazing to. Go early and walk right in to be seated! Free meal for birthdays. Show ID.

A trip to Myrtle beach, SC for my birthday. This restaurants was next to our hotel on the beach so I knew the view would be great. We chose to sit outside so we can see the beach and the beautiful view. We were seated quickly. Our waitress was in training I think or it was his first day, he was so kind. Honestly when it comes to the food, we weren't too impressed. The chips and spinach artichoke dip appetizer was my favorite. I ate that instead and took my meal back to the hotel. My sister ordered fried liver. It was lunch time so I got something on there. Our food came cold. Waiter was nice about it and took it to heat them up for us twice. It was a busy day and the place was packed but I saw that staff were attentive to everyone. Great location, nice view, nice staff and great service. Next time I will read reviews to see what is good to order. I would love to go back. read more

I'll give my fair assessment (like i always try to do) of my meal and comments from others in the party Damon's seems like industrial prepared food with small touches of inspiration, not sure who was handing out the awards but what ever I'll start with, the Ambiance, thanks to the beach front view was nice but it could be much better , keep reading and you'll see how , OUR waitress was ok but might want to ck on the customers a little more, I've had a lot worse, onward to the food! Damon's House salad, it was what you'd expect and an average size, now to the meats, *chopped sirloin was ok it looked pleasing with the mushrooms gravy nothing to send a post card to friends back home about, again what you'd expect *Fried fish looked great!, I'm talking picture perfect, now comes the but, it wasn't hot and the only thing moist was the soggy breading, I'm not sure how you get dune dry fish and soggy breading but they figured it out, the plate had BBQ sauce all the way down the entire length of it *Pulled pork BBQ, presentation needed work, to begin with, there was a piece of meat as fat as your index finger and about 2x's as long hanging off the plate , I watched it drag across the serving tray and all the way down the fried fish plate, eww no thanks, it was plopped on a bed of wilted lettuce and mashed down which may be why it had pools and streams of grease winding around the plate and side dish like it was a resort lazy river Now on to the sides, * garden rice, one bite is all it took to say, it sucked and I'll leave it at that *Pecan crusted sweetpotatoe casserole, it might be crusted in the kitchen but not on your plate, I love the taste but not its room temperature Fried okra taste was ok, but I prefer mine warmer than room temperature and speaking of room temperature, their portable ac with its dirty filter running 3-4 ft from my head and food made it hard to hear others at the table, it was doing its best to help try and cool the place but it was lacking, welcome to salt life In closing all i can say is after 3 times the novelty, like the out going tide has left, but hey like any other Myrtle Beach tourist attractions give it a try read more

Everything...rude service(never acknowledged us at the bar for over 30 minutes while new customers were waited on right away.) Menu was subpar where Applebee's would be an upgrade and the drink menu was using subpar ingredients even before I ever tasted anything. We wound up leaving after the 30 minute wait without an acknowledgement. Stay away! read more

The ambiance is beautiful as it is right on the beach and our waiter was kind and attentive; however, the food was not good with the exception of the rolls and baked potato. My sister-in-law and I had the grilled barbecue chicken breast, and rice pilaf - I had veggies and she also had a baked potato. The chicken was overcooked and hard, the rice was very basic and they served us very little of it around 4 tablespoons of rice and the veggies were subpar. My husband had barbecue chicken wings and the sauce on the wings tasted like pure vinegar- horrible!! He also had clam chowder and it wasn't anything special.. Lots of people were waiting to get into this place; it must have been for the view as the quality of the food was not good! The manager did take 20% off our bill and did not charge us for the sodas which was kind; given the quality of the meal, we should not have been charged at all. read more

Damon's is a bar and restaurant chain that specializes in prime rib, steak, and their award winning ribs. This oceanfront location has indoor and outdoor seating. I wasn't impressed with this place the first time I was here, but my family loves the oceanfront view so I decided to give them another chance. My experience this time around was much better. All the food was enjoyable and our server Merrill was great. He was friendly, respectful, and accommodating. He was also able to take an order from a party of six without writing anything down. Impressive. There does seem to be some inconsistency at this location, but overall; good food, great service, and beautiful ambiance.

I have eaten here about 6 times. I find quality is hit or miss. Some of people in my party have received more than exceptional steaks and cuts or prime rib. Personally, after I order rare, my steak or prime rib comes out closer to well done. A few days ago I had lunch with friends. They were offering a lunch prime rib special. I had another miss of the hit or miss experience the Waitress did say we could not select rare. I ordered the special and so did my friend. My friend's cut of meat looked delicious; it was 1/2 to 1 in thick and medium rare to medium. My cut was 1/2 to 1/4 in in thickness and was well done. In Damon's defense, a manager came around and asked if all was OK. I do not feel comfortable with comparing my plate to another plate at the table. This just puts a damper on our social outing. read more

On Monday night, April 13th around 6:30pm, my dad, husband and I went to Damon's Grill for the first time for dinner since moving to Myrtle Beach. Unfortunately, it will be the last time due to the poor service we received from our server, Ty. Ty was rude, ignored our table, and was very argumentative at the end of our meal. We really only saw him one time since ordering. He sort of checked in with us and by that he didn't get full answers from the whole table or asked if we needed anything else, just walked away. We had to pull him aside just to get the bill so we could leave and that was when my dad had told him the food wasn't very good. He had gotten the ribs and didn't really like them, saying they were dry. Ty began to argue with my dad saying in a rather annoyed tone, "You should have said something when I came by earlier. I would have gotten you another rack." My dad did try to speak up. Ty didn't listen. We aren't difficult people when we go out and we honestly don't know what we did that put Ty in such a horrible mood since he started off welcoming at first. A lot more happened but Yelp doesn't give me enough characters to describe everything. Needless to say, we won't be back. read more

1st time (4th July 2026) at Damons n I have to say now I know why after 10yrs we've never gone. Waited 30mins to be seated. Why ever table was open. Oh, they had no staff available. Got seated waiter was alright but not memorable. Food took sooo long we were totally full from appetizers. Soups were so spicy no one could eat it. Dinners arrived n yup not even appealing. Ribeye steak my dog wouldn't even eat. Alfredo so thick n sticky not even edible. BBQ sauce way to spicy for kids to eat. Chicken tenders, yeah ok McDs are better. Will never return. read more
