After landing at Myrtle Beach International Airport, my friend and I headed straight to Simply…read moreSouthern Smokehouse for lunch--and it was the perfect way to experience Southern hospitality. If you're looking for authentic Southern comfort food rather than another seafood buffet, Simply Southern Smokehouse is one of Myrtle Beach's best-known local favorites. The restaurant offers an all-you-can-eat buffet featuring a wide variety of home-style classics in a casual, family-friendly atmosphere. One of its most charming traditions is that the staff periodically break into song, creating a warm, welcoming experience that's uniquely Southern. The buffet changes daily, but during our visit it featured an impressive selection including crispy fried chicken, fried pork chops, pulled pork barbecue, smoked chicken legs, collard greens, green beans, cornbread, banana pudding, soft-serve ice cream, and peach cobbler. The fried chicken was outstanding--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside--and the pulled pork was tender and flavorful. Personally, I tend to prefer barbecue with a deeper, smokier profile, so while I enjoyed the pulled pork, this is better described as a traditional Southern buffet than a destination for smoked barbecue. The homemade desserts, especially the peach cobbler, provided the perfect ending to the meal. The value is exceptional, especially considering the variety and quality of the food. The staff was genuinely friendly, and the singing added a fun, memorable touch that made the restaurant feel more like a community gathering than just another buffet. I also appreciated the thoughtful gesture of complimentary pocket New Testament Bibles available for guests near the entrance. If you're visiting Myrtle Beach and want to experience classic Southern cooking at a reasonable price, Simply Southern Smokehouse is well worth a visit. Come hungry, expect hearty comfort food rather than competition-style barbecue, and you'll likely leave satisfied.

After trying a few well ranked places in Myrtle Beach, I lost hope in finding something to make my…read moremouth happy. I came across this place and it had two things to make me want to try it - all you can eat, and a low price point including the drink. If the food is going to be bad, at least let me eat as much as I want of the bad food. I walked into a roomy place and was immediately greeted. I was told that they were super packed, but they would get me a seat ASAP. Having so many people waiting in line was a good sign. Having so many ethnicities waiting in line was an even better sign. I looked at who was cooking, and saw a whole bunch of White dudes. Just for the record, being from New Orleans, we have plenty of White people we trust to cook. "Cajun" is a type of cooking for a reason. Having a bunch of White guys cooking, was not the only observation I had about the collective. All those White guys looked like they served time. Once again, being from New Orleans, I do not look down on people that served time. That's many of the residents of New Orleans. Good people that may have got caught up on the wrong side of the law does not make someone ineligible to cook. The time serving looking White guys actually made me excited to taste the food. I've written too much already, so let me wrap this up. There were plenty of sides and proteins that were getting replenished often. I actually tasted spices on the food. The desserts were actually tasty. This place would see me again if I come to Myrtle Beach. Will you be blown away with spices? Not at all. Will you appreciate that they actually used spices? Yes you will. I think you would be happy to try this food.

Since I was visiting the city, and this place had such high reviews, I decided to give this place a try. First of all, staff is friendly, and the menu is straight forward. My frugal meter wasn't disturbed by the pricing at all. They are pretty reasonably priced consider the cost of food now and days. My issue is that I'm from New Orleans. Many consider my city the definition of food flavor town. Taste is very important in Creole and Cajun cooking. You may actually like this place and frequent here, but I wouldn't break my neck to go to this place. Texture wise, things were fried well and cooked to appropriate levels for me. The cornbread did not have sweetness and was very hard. Overall, much of my food didn't have a flavor pow. Chicken, ribs, yams, beans, and okra all needed love. Were is the seasoning? The food was prepared by someone that can cook, but honestly, it tasted healthy. I don't want healthy versions of soul food. I want to eat candied yams and worry about my sugar levels later. I want to eat different meats and wonder what season blend was used. It's things like this that makes me not rank this place higher. You had a little flavor in the gravy and rice. One big exception to the rule: The peach cobbler was DELICIOUS! Whomever made the peach cobbler should fix all the food. The flavor was hitting. The crust was firm but very forgiving to the utensil. This place will be gold for many people. For me, it was an average dining experience. Bring cash. They prefer cash, and your bill will be lower because of that fact.

I stopped here a few days ago for the first time. It's a small , family owned bbq place beside a…read moregas station like you would find in a small town in the South. The employees were nice and I heard the cashier telling someone it was her family's business. It's not decorated fancy , but the dining room is clean and has honest bbq. I got the Pulled Pork Plate with 2 Sides and a Sweet Tea. I also ordered an extra side. If you're a Veteran like me , your drink is free. The Pulled Pork was tasty and a good portion and they give you a bun even though you didn't order a sandwich you have bread to go with it. I ordered Hush Puppies as my bread , but still ate the top bun with my meal. Hush Puppies were pretty good when warm , my last one when it cooled down then tasted a little oily so eat them while they're hot. Usually I get a Pulled Pork Sandwich instead of a platter and have Slaw on it. Well I got a side of Slaw and it was Mayo style , not Vinegar style and I didn't like it. The young lady let me replace them with the Beans and they were very good. Potato Salad was average , I like a little more mustard in mine. Now for the BBQ Sauces. They have 5 BBQ Sauces which is a good variety to have. I liked the Hot , Vinegar , and Rob Sauce the most. For Pulled Pork I found if you mix the Hot and Vinegar Sauces it worked the best. If I would've had Brisket then the Rob Sauce would be my pick for it. The Mild was okay , but I prefer more of a kick. The Mustard Sauce was weak and not tangy enough and I usually like a good mustard sauce sometimes on pulled pork , but prefer the vinegar. Sweet tea ok , not too sweet like some places. Overall it's a well rounded bbq place. My total with tax was $19.70 with my free Veteran's drink , pulled pork platter and 3 sides. I would like to come back and try the Brisket next time. I would recommend you giving it a try and support a local family business.

I highly recommend Gracious Pig Smokehouse and will surely return when I'm in Surfside Beach again.

Dirty Myrtle Wing Company - We Found Our New Favorite Wing Spot!…read more I had been hearing a lot about the great wings at Dirty Myrtle Wing Company, and we finally got the chance to give them a try. We stopped at the Myrtle Beach location and ordered their 20-wing special, which allowed us to choose four different sauces or flavors. Helen got five wings with teriyaki sauce and five with garlic Parmesan, while I went with dry rubs on my 10 wings. We have been eating wings for years at restaurants throughout Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, but we had never found anything that compared to the wings at Quaker Steak & Lube before they closed in Richmond, Virginia. Well, we finally found something even better! The wings at Dirty Myrtle Wing Company were outstanding, and we were excited to discover our new favorite wing spot. A week later, we stopped by their Socastee location after hearing that their smash burgers were also worth trying. Helen ordered one and absolutely fell in love with it! We aren't sure what kind of sauce they use on their burgers, but whatever it is, it was wonderful. Since we had tried the bone-in wings during our first visit, I decided to try the boneless wings this time. They had excellent flavor, although I thought they were a little on the dry side. Perhaps a minute less in the fryer would have made them even better. Regardless, we were both very happy with our meals. One of the other highlights of our experience was meeting Troy, the owner, and his better half while they were having lunch at the Myrtle Beach location. We had a really good conversation with them. We later ran into Troy again at the Socastee location, which tells me he is very hands-on with his business. He comes across as a genuinely down-to-earth guy who takes an interest in what he does. We also heard they are starting a food truck, and we will definitely be keeping an eye on their Facebook pages to see when they make it to Conway! If you're a fan of great wings or a delicious smash burger, Dirty Myrtle Wing Company is definitely worth checking out. We are thrilled to have found them and look forward to many more visits!
