I almost skipped due to the 1 star reviews.... Glad I didn't. I was on a tight timeline and ordered the moment I sat down (pancakes and oatmeal). She had piping hot cakes out in 3 minutes!! The food wasn't bad enough to hate or good enough to love. But it did the job. Entire meal with tax and over 20% tip was $10! (This includes 10% off via Yelp offer) My server was kind and most important allowed me to be in and out in 20 minutes! Don't expect gourmet and don't expect horrible and you won't be disappointed! Please thumb up/comment if you liked this review and I would count it a privilege if you chose to follow me as I review places I travel and visit. Thank you for taking the time to read! ~mp read more

Worst eggs I've ever had. Really hard to get scrambled eggs wrong but Johns managed to do it. Home fries and a disgusting and sticky sausage patty instead of the bacon I'd ordered but I couldn't be bothered to make a further fuss having pointed out the error but was effectively ignored. The missing bacon just never materialized. The 'sausage' looked like a burger and tasted like nothing on particular. The coffee was just about drinkable. My companion ordered fruit for her breakfast which was essentially a mix of tinned and fresh fruit and was freezing cold. Never again. read more

Ok before I begin the review, I have to say that Josh is an awesome waiter! He rolled with the different things that my group threw at him (17 of us). Great job! Now time for the food: The chicken I added to my berry salad was dry. The chicken in the Cajun pasta was dry. The spinach that came with the salad was dry, maybe adding dressing will fix that. There was a lot of jalapeños in the Cajun pasta! The fries are very good and crispy. The shrimp was seasoned well. Overall, a nice establishment with friendly people. read more

This place is exactly why parts of the country are chock full of corporate chain restaurants. The lowest quality ingredients treated with the least amount of respect. In most places in the world this place would be vandalized or razed, but not Myrtle Beach SC, this is considered a "family run option". Fuck me standin! Maybe the Manson family should be recruited if that is our only standard of quality. If you have read this far and really care to hear about the food then you are as twisted as I was for even eating a fourth of the food on my plate. The "home fries" (.89 extra) have a yellowish dinge and a funky blandness that is reminiscent of rinsing your mouth at the dentist. The slime that surrounds the taters looks to have oozed out of a pustule from Manuel Noriega's teen years. (google it) The eggs ordered over medium were cold, with runny whites and the yellow had begun to fade. The toast came warm but served in a basket full of crumbs, dust and probably toe nails for all I know. This restaurant is not an option, hell this town isn't even an option. I would rather lick the biscuit crumbs off the shirt of a homeless man outside a Bojangles before visiting this cultural vacuum again. Service was fine, god bless these beauty queens who sling this slop daily. read more

Positive: food came out fast. Negative: Bacon was not edible, burnt. Basic diner, friendly server. Nothing really special. 10% discount for staying at the Dayton house. read more

I will just never go to that place again. The service was one of the worst i have had in my life. The women was clearly discriminating my friend (who is a women of "color") and looked at us like she was better than us. She took forever to come get our order, did not smile for a single second, did not refill our drinks or even offer to give us water, almost threw each of our plates on the table and when i handed her my credit card instead of putting the bill on the room she looked at me like I was an Alien... It was just horrifying and i was extremely upset by this experience. The food was "decent. The fried steak probably contained an entire bottle of oil and the scrambble eggs were not good (How do you mess out eggs?) Myrtle beach is such a warm place with warm people . Go to other restaurant where they hire people with a warm heart. read more

This is just for the breakfast buffet, which is $6.99 (not sure when it is 4.99?) Everything was good to very good. Not a huge selection, but all was quality eats. They even offered to cook eggs to order (instead of the scrambled out on the buffet). read more

My husband and I ordered something to go from the dinner menu on a night neither one of us wanted to cook. He got the fried grouper sandwich with a some type of spicy mayo and I got the BLT pasta special. Doug enjoyed his sandwich so much that I had to go back and get him another last week. My pasta was so good. The cream sauce warmed up nicely and didn't get all sticky like some I've had. And the garlic knots that came with it were great. We haven't gone there to eat in yet but the pizza I smelled when ordering might entice me. read more

I agree with the other Yelpers, coffee is horrible! My grandparents would have LOVED it, they liked their coffee weak like slightly flavored water. Definitely would wait to pick up my Joe from the Starbucks a short distance away. Our breakfast was not outstanding but good and within walking distance from the Dayton House we were staying at which gave us a 10% discount. The country fried steak (which I order on a very rare occassion) was nice and crispy with good sausage gravy served with a yummy biscuit, eggs, and homefries . Family thought the pancakes were good but not the best. MBSC really needs an Original Pancake House... read more

One of the many breakfast places that Yelpers in Myrtle Beach will have to choose from. We got 10% off our meal because we were staying at the Dayton House. As others have mentioned, the coffee here is pretty bad, but the eggs, bacon, pancakes are typical for what you would get at other places in town. Worth eating at if it is close by, but not worth going a long distance for. read more

Came here because it was close to the hotel is am staying. The food was ok. I would not go out of my way for it. Waitress was very nice. I had the western omelet with 2 hot cakes, side of bacon, and coffee. $15 seems a little steep. The omelet tasted good but was very flat. The hot cakes were ok, a bit on the dry side. The bacon was nice and crispy but still oddly greasy, maybe just reheated in a microwave. I don't know that is how it tasted to me. The coffee was a standard breakfast blend. All in all it was ok. Was not very busy. Was in and out pretty quick. read more

Decent breakfast place Decent prices Quick service And u can get a 10% coupon if u stay in Dayton resort read more

John's Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Everything was delicious and the service was wonderful! Some of our family got the buffet while others ordered off of the menu, even made one member of our party something off of the lunch menu a little early! Will definitely be back. read more

We've come here every time we visit Myrtle beach & it's always a welcoming environment with great breakfast! Patty is the most efficient and kind server & you can't help but smile when she's around! read more

My family and I eat at Uncle Johns once a month I think and we always have enjoyed our dinner. Nicole and her wait staff are great. During this visit the family loved the white pizza. read more

First of all the restaurant is not welcoming. You can only enter 1 entrance and the others have stop signs on them. When we walked in the lady goes "what's your room number" which we didn't know you had to stay somewhere to go there - by the way this restaurant isn't near a hotel or in a hotel. The lady said we could only eat at the buffet and then told us to go to another place. I've never been in a business where they point you to another business. We won't be going back. read more

The service here is fantastic, and the food was cooked to order and brought out quickly. We went here on the off season, and it was within walking distance of our room. They give a discount if you have a room key. read more

Stopped in to have breakfast Easter morning and was pleasantly surprised. The food was good and delivered in a timely manner. All special requests were met with a smile. The service from entry, to table, and at check out set this restaurant apart from others I have visited. The folks made my party and I feel extremely welcome and appreciated. I have since visited several more times for a quick lunch. They have recently changed their dinner menu from primarily sandwiches to more adult fare and home made pizzas, so we will give it a try as time permits. Don't judge this book by it's cover. read more

Great restaurant all u can eat breakfast buffet for $ 4.99 we luv this place we always have the same waitress she is great also she has worked their for 24 years!!! Isn't that awesome!! read more

We stopped in with the and watched the Myrtle Beach Marathon from our both. Went with the waitress suggestion of the County Breakfast with Fried Tenderloin and was not disappointed. Great family feel in this non-chain gem. Give uncle Johhny a try read more

the friendliest staff. welcome right when walk in. yes sooo many breakfast spots to experience in Myrtle Beach and does it help when staying at Dayton House you receive complimentary breakfast vouchers. you can choose from 11 choices and all looked wonderful. hubby chose the sausage and cheese omelette served with grits and toast and hot coffee. they bought over a whole pot. I had the bacon and cheese omelette and grits and toast with unsweetened iced tea. the friendly waitress kept coming to table asking how things were and that she would bring me a to go cup with some more iced tea. the staff is super friendly and the flow of people and quick service give this place a 4 star! read more

No Stars. I've had horrible breakfasts at many places along the South and North Carolina coasts and this is possibly the worst of all. Snotty, runny whites in my over medium eggs, abysmal "home fries" that we're mushy, tasteless boiled (canned?) potatoes with weird orange fluff - I don't know how they can up-charge for that slop. And flavorless bacon also. Go anywhere else, I'm sure even a breakfast buffet place would be better than this. We're off to Bojangles now to get a proper breakfast. read more

The first thing that you notice is the smell which is a mix of musty odor and shoes. We should have left at that point but we thought we'd get used to it. We didn't. The waiter was nice. The fried green tomatoes were ok. Everything else was not that good. read more

I always come here for breakfast when I'm in town. Went in today and was pleased to see the breakfast buffet has made its return with the new management. But even with the management changes we still get to see mostly the same pleasant faces, and they're the ones who really make this place shine. I've never had a bad meal here, but the attitude friendliness and attentiveness of the staff is what rates such a high review. Even today with the buffet, my soda was always full (I was coffee'd out when I came in) and as busy as they were my waitress was still able to check in on me at regular intervals. The staff is what makes this place and keeps me coming back. read more

This is a great old breakfast diner. We went yesterday with our baby and had a great experience. The staff was all incredibly friendly and fawned over our baby which is always appreciated :) our server was so nice. Menu had the standard egg, pancake and waffle options with lots of opportunities to smother them with peanut butter, chocolate, whipped cream and even ice cream. For $27 we got more food than could fit on our table. The food quality was just ok but that's about what I expect from a diner. read more

Basic family diner. Easy parking. Nice food prices. Nothing spectacular. Got a discount coupon for staying at nearby hotel.

Coffee was horrible and my food was barely warm. Service was good but that was about it.

Not a very good experience. We went here around lunch time in the off season. The woman who took us to our table was apparently doubling as the hostess and the server. She sat us and 2 other tables at the same time. I ordered coffee and got it right away, but my friend ordered a v8 that didn't come. My vegetarian omelet came out cold, and I didn't get the toast that I ordered. My friend got a burger that looked terrible, and didn't come with any side. Halfway through my omelet, I still had no toast and my friend didn't have his v8. He wanted to order a side of ranch, but our server seemed to be avoiding us. I saw her come out of the kitchen 3-4 times and clear off tables on the other side of the restaurant. I also saw her standing around and making small talk with other employees. Finally, she came over to our table with my toast, and we asked about the v8 and the ranch. She brought those out right away with our check. I want to believe this was a bad day, because this place cannot possibly be this bad all the time. In fairness, it was march and they seemed understaffed. All the same, I won't be going back here again. read more

Stopped in for breakfast, not expecting much. We questioned our decision as we walked in, but I'm glad we stayed! The hostess and waitress were so sweet! We were sat immediately, and had our drinks and order in within 10 minutes of being there. My fiancé got the The Hungry Boy with 2 grilled pork chops, and I had the John's Breakfast special. The food was good, and filling. Our waitress had refills for us right when we needed them and we didn't even have to ask! I'd definitely go back! read more

We stopped here for breakfast on a crisp Sept Sat morning. There was a line but the wait wasn't too bad. The food was a different story. The scrambled eggs were dry. The grits were closer to lumpy paste. The bacon was chewy. The hot chocolate with whipped cream was good. It helped warm me up since I ended up under an A/C vent and I don't drink coffee. My friend does and she said it tasted a little off. So did the iced tea. Maybe it was the water. In their defense, there was a big HOA meeting being held in the back room so maybe the kitchen was overly stressed. However in the future I will walk the short distance up the street to their competition. The 10% discount from our hotel just wasn't worth it. read more

Uncle John's was ok for what I've seen it was clean and the staff was pleasant. We tried grits for the first time. They tasted to me like mushy rice. A little salt and pepper not bad. Not something I could eat everyday. . read more

I'm sure, given it is October, everything is a bit better at restaurants in MB than in the high season. I was actually headed to another restaurant and happened to spot this place close to my hotel. Thought I'd give it a try. Frankly (and I'm a stickler for good service), this place was exceptional. The waitress had a great personality, very friendly, and certainly attentive. The food was prepared exactly as I ordered. Place looked spotlessly clean. If my experience today is an indication, I'd be back there a lot, if I lived in the area. read more

Okay, where do I begin? I pity this simple eatery, so I'll start off with the positives. The service was excellent, our waiter was friendly and attentive, not to mention very hospitable as is tradition in the south, for appetizer, my party and I had gotten the fried green tomatoes. They were accented with bits of corn, bacon, and shrimp, which I thought was a nice touch to compliment the little tang of the tomatoes. However, our main courses were lackluster. I and my friend had decided to both get the fish tacos, whilst the others got a custom calzone and blackened fish. The fish tacos were mediocre, the cod was cooked well, but the guacamole was bland, and the pico de gallo tasted like it was marinated for five days instead of prepared fresh. However, the coleslaw was the most disgusting thing I had ever tasted in my life, it was like they took a jar of mayo and left the cabbage in there to ferment for a year, ugh. The calzone was reported to be soggy and burnt at the same time, and the blackened fish was just too spicy. I feel bad for this place, but if they actually read the yelp reviews, they would improve. read more

Country diner style cooking. I enjoyed the sausage gravy. The pancakes are huge! The price is right and the atmosphere is comfortable. Seemed to be a lot of locals. Only thing I didn't care for was the coffee but I am a bit spoiled in that department. Will eat here again. read more

Great breakfast spot! Great breakfast buffet! Great service from all staff!

I cannot speak to lunch or dinner but the breakfast (other than the home fries) is very, very good. The pancakes are exceptional. Eggs are eggs and the omelets are good and large. The servers can be brusque at times but are all good hearted and eager to help. read more

This morning we attended for family breakfast. We walked in, got seated pretty quickly. Our service was poor to mediocre. The server got our drinks and food right away, however they sat is with a broken high chair, and when we asked for a different one the. Server informed us all(2) of the high chairs were broken. Instead of trying to be helpful she pretty much avoided us for the next 5 whole minutes we were there. No one got to eat the food because the baby was trying to climb out of the broken high chair with no buckle. The manager offered to comp the ticket afterwards which was nice, but I declined. read more

Average food. Ate breakfast there. Waitress not friendly. Ordered eggs with cheese, it was microwaved.

We ended up here because we got a BYGO 50% off coupon from our hotel. Ended up spending about $50 for the two of us, without drinks. The pork chops were dried out and the shrimp and grits was bland. We did get desserts, cheese cake tasted a bit like lemon and the chocolate bacon was just like monkey bread. We would never go back, eve. If the staff were super nice. read more

Tried turkey open faced sand.got mostly bread and dark brown gravy hiding what llittle meat there was it was not good. I wont go back here.
