    Hot chocolate
    Diana D.

    We stopped by here to grab a late brunch. The staff were very friendly. We got seated at a booth and the food came quite quickly. We got a Crab Cake Benedict and a Breakfast Skillet. I also got a hot chocolate to drink. The Benedict was good. The breakfast skillet was ok nothing fancy. I also loved the hot chocolate.

    Western sandwich

    Arrived on a Wed am about 9:30 am. No waiting for a table. Wait staff were super friendly. I ordered a Western Omelette served on a English Muffin. How'd they do that? They tucked in the edges. It tasted like an omelette. The pressure needed to bite through the muffin turned it into potential mess. But it worked out. Prices were good, a friendly place. Worth going back to

    Bacon Cheddar BBQ Burger

    Stopped in on my way outta town for lunch. My 1st time visiting and plan to return for breakfast when I'm back in MB! This is a cute lil diner that sits on the corner of a strip mall. I arrived around 12n on Monday Oct 10th. It was not busy at all, only a few other guests enjoying their meals. I got a table immediately and the server was about 3 steps behind me as I sat down. I cannot recall her name but she was friendly and pleasant! Thoroughly enjoyed my juicy cheddar bacon cheeseburger, hot crispy seasoned fries and deliciously made sweet tea! The restaurant was clean as well as the restroom! I definitely recommend giving them a try!

    Bacon, egg and cheese bagel with a side of homefries.

    Molly was our server, & she was Amazing! I have never seen a server shell out drinks and so much…read morefood so quickly. She was pleasant and patient, considering we had three teenagers at the table with one of them ordering like 5-6 sodas (to my dismay and horror lmao). She joked she should get one of our kids a pitcher. We had the fried chicken, the fried pork chop, chicken dumplings, and the BBQ ribs. Our favorite were the ribs. The sides were a hit. We got the fried okra, the mashed potatoes, the mac and cheese, green beans and fries. For the additional side it is $2.99 a person. Honestly, I felt the sides were so tasty & better than some of the meat dishes. The fried pork chop and the chicken and dumplings were not a hit at our table, but we did devour the fried chicken and get an extra order of ribs. We had no idea that this was a bottomless refill, but I don't know how anyone orders more than one extra entree because the portions are huge and quite filling. We were lucky to get a table close to the window so we could have a nice view. All of the workers were courteous & kind. If you are super hungry & have a larger party, you have to come here at least once, while visiting Broadway at the Beach. They also brought out biscuits to our table while waiting for our food, and those are hefty and warm. Hooray for another good Southern eatery during our visit to Myrtle Beach.

    I've eaten at Paula Deen's Lady & Sons restaurant in Savannah, Georgia many times and enjoyed each…read moreand every visit. We stood in long lines during their popular years for hours in the morning, just to get a table reservation for dinner later that evening. Crazy as that sounds, it was always fun because we had such great conversations with people from all over the country while waiting. We also enjoyed meals there during the final days when standing in a morning line was no longer necessary. So I can say without any reservation that we would have never returned if the food we had today was being served back then. Paula Deen's fried chicken once upon a time was EPIC. But IMHO, this current offering in comparison is night and day to the deliciousness once served in Savannah. As a matter of fact, we didn't enjoy any of the meats or sides. Our food experience tasted like an entirely different restaurant recipe and to top it off the chicken was overcooked and dry, something we never experienced at Lady & Sons. After sharing our disappointment with management, our bill was cancelled (except for my cocktail) and we left, likely never to return. What a disappointing end to a fabulous food era, because the food at Lady and Son's was one of our families favorite reasons to vacation near Savannah. It was almost always the first meals of our vacation, but the food we were served on this most recent visit to Myrtle Beach they can keep. On a brighter note, the restaurant interior is beautiful and the location is fantastic. The staff were friendly and our server pretty much brought out the entire menu trying to satisfy us. Each bite of each item was so disappointing that I asked him not to bring anything else, but he insisted on finding something, anything redeeming. Unfortunately, nothing he brought out was to our liking, but we did appreciate the effort. [ FINAL THOUGHTS ] If you've never been to Lady and Son's, then the food here at Paula Deen's Family Kitchen might be acceptable. But I will forever miss what it used to taste like and the excitement my family had when I announced we would be eating at Lady & Sons! Management said they use the same recipes, but my taste buds heavily disagree.
