duroc pork chops
Jeff F.

O.A.K. Prime is located in strip mall - it's all up from there. We went to O.A.K. for our vacation 'date night' after hearing high praise for it (spoiler: it was worthy of the praise). We were warmly greeted by our server who ran us through the items unique to the day. Throughout the meal, the server was friendly, helpful and attentive. We first tried a split of champagne which was reasonably priced and delicious and a 'The Tally Man' (rum - I have had many rum drinks across many vacation spots and this one was special and tasty). They have a short wine by the glass selection - with dinner we tried a glass of their pinot noir and cabernet - the wine was fairly priced and both were pretty good. For dinner we had the watermelon salad (just delicious) and the smoked oysters; again, I have had oysters prepared many different ways and these were delicious and unique. For mains we had the duroc pork chops (very large portion and quite tasty) and the day's fish (which was Chilean sea bass with a lobster claw and a wonderful sauce). Both were amazing. Prices were appropriate. O.A.K. is expanding their current space so more people can enjoy it.

Enjoyed nice date night here while on vacation. A very classy and nice steakhouse. It was close to closing time when we arrived, they close at 9pm. We were seated right away and ordered our entrees right away. I ordered the prime short ribs which came with potato purée and collard greens. It was so good!! Very tasty and the ribs were very tender. My boyfriend ordered the ribeye and a side of Brussels sprouts. The ribeye was so good, tender and juicy with an amazing sear! One of the best steaks I've tasted! Definitely a great spot for date night

I am mad it took me so long to try this place. I was impressed...hands down best short rib in Myrtle Beach. The wagyu Ribeye was to die for, filet was superb, prok chops excellent, the sides were outstanding recommend the Mac and au gratin. I love carrot cake and to my surprise it was THE BEST OF MY LIFE. Espresso martini is a must. Pete was an amazing waiter and took good care of us. Can't wait to go again will be added to our rotation.

Pecan crème brûlée
Kristen B.

Today was our first day being back in town, we visit the area every few months and decided to try something new tonight. The restaurant is small with tasteful and modern ambiance, warm lighting and a beautiful bar that spans almost the length of the entire restaurant. We started the meal with a dozen petite oysters and escargot, both were an amazing start. The oysters are served with a unique fruity minuet. The escargot are served still bubbling with crispy bread and of course a delicious garlic butter. We all absolutely loved our main dishes and everyone got something different. The short ribs were cooked perfectly and balanced with a rich mashed potato and tangy collard green. The polenta and fried goat cheese ravioli were rich and completely gone at the end of the meal. My husband loved the lamb chops, and said the sauce was sweeter but complex and really added to the meal. We also couldn't help ourselves and added the lobster Mac and cheese. Get it, 100%. Such complex flavor and huge pieces of lobster. We absolutely loved it. We ended the meal with chocolate martinis and pecan crème brûlée. Our server was wonderful, very thoughtful, speedy, and kind. I've seen a lot of reviews saying the prices are too high. The portion sizes were large, the quality of food was above average wonderful, and we will definitely be coming back! Absolutely worth the cost!

O.A.K. Shrimp
Alyssa G.

Really enjoyed my visit to O.A.K. as it has been one of my favorite hidden gems in the area when I go on vacation since it was originally Cypress Grille. We started with the O.A.K. Shrimp Appetizer which had the most delicious sauce, but we did wish there were more than just three shrimp, especially for splitting, maybe even a fourth would've added to it, but nonetheless, it was delicious. My boyfriend and I both ordered the Fish Du Jour which was the Blackened Alaskan Halibut with Crab Meat and it was absolutely DELICIOUS. We were both raving about how light it was with perfect flavor. Our mistake was to not ask the price before ordering the special. My only complaint is that it was extremely expensive ($62 each) for the smaller piece of fish even though it truly was cooked to perfection, and we just wished the prices were more transparent on the menu/specialty menu. Overall, it was a great night out and our server was fantastic. It wasn't too crowded on a Tuesday as we asked to sit outside since it was so nice out. A super great hidden gem if you've never been!

Wagyu filet

Cheryl, our waitress, made the evening fabulous. We ordered the wagyu filet. It literally melts in your mouth. We also ordered the mushroom bruschetta which was outstanding. We totally enjoyed our special night out.

Special requested charcuterie board for a birthday dinner

Even with our large party, our customer service was top notch. We felt taken care of, welcomed, and like special guests! The food was better than we could have ever imagined. Our party of 8 consisted of 7 first timers, and we will ALL be back. The French onion soup was the best I had ever tasted. The biscuits were AMAZING. The cocktails were perfectly crafted. We all fought over the truffle fries, and the steak was melting in our mouths. I will be begging my husband to take us again soon! The menu is so thorough that I had a hard time deciding, but at this point I think anything would be a good choice! The chef was so kind to come out and speak to us at the end of the night, our group can't wait to back for a wine dinner event!

We were really hoping for a great meal to turn around what had already been a stressful trip --…read moreafter an 8-hour airport delay and canceled flight on day one, and then scrambling to change hotels on day two after being offered a run-down room. Unfortunately, this dinner just added to our frustration. We had a 6:15 reservation and waited quite a while before a server arrived. When she did, she was very kind and took our drink and appetizer orders. But everything moved so slowly -- drinks and app took ages, and we placed our dinner order not long after. By 7:30, we still had no food. The server kept apologizing (she really was kind and doing her best), but it was clear something was off in the kitchen or with management. Eventually someone else came over, offered 20% off, and said our meals were "plating now" -- but that wasn't true, because we waited another 20 minutes. We were ready to cancel, and when the food finally came, I honestly couldn't enjoy it at that point. My chicken sandwich was nothing special (definitely not worth the wait), and my mom's scallops were salty and just bad. While our server was lovely, the overall experience with management and the kitchen was disappointing. Won't be back.

The hostess at the front was friendly and greeted us right away. She took us to our table and asked…read moreus our preference. On the walk to the table I noticed the floor was very sticky. The chair that I was going to sit in looked wet but it turned out to be sticky too. When I asked the waitress to help clean it up she switched it out and said something about breakfast syrup. When we went to look at the special drink sign a bug crawled out of it and onto the table. The waitress didn't do anything about that. We ordered and waited for our food. The blueberry gin and tonic was good. We ordered bbq chicken tacos, mahi tacos, grilled mahi mahi and a scallop salad. The food was okay. Our server seemed like she didn't really want to be there. I feel like the prices were reasonable but I wouldn't go again.

My wife and I have been coming to Myrtle Beach for years, and every time we drive past JEM I always…read moresay, "We have to try that place sometime." The parking lot is usually full, which always felt like a good sign. Well... after years of saying "maybe next time," we finally stopped in -- and we're glad we did. We were in town for a few days doing some work at our place and decided to try something new for dinner. I checked Yelp beforehand to see if they had a happy hour menu, and they did -- and it looked good. We arrived around 5:00 pm. There were only a few cars in the lot at that time, and the building (which used to be a Pizza Hut) is easy to spot. When we walked in, we were told to sit wherever we liked, so we headed straight to the bar. The bartender greeted us right away, gave us menus and waters, and made us feel welcome. Since it was our first visit, we had a lot of questions about the menu. The food seemed like a fusion of Asian and Korean flavors, and we weren't very familiar with it. She was fantastic patient, knowledgeable, and very helpful. She even mentioned their Date Night special, which turned out to be a great deal. She made my wife an iced tea that was different than the usual but very good, and I had an Old Fashioned that was excellent. We decided on the Date Night Special, which is a prix fixe menu for two for $45. It includes one starter to share, a selection of small plates, each person choosing their own main from a list of six (two with a small upcharge), and a dessert to share. For our starter, we chose the Scallion Pancakes. They aren't really pancakes in the traditional sense -- more like a thinner batter that's deep-fried and served with two sauces. Both sauces were excellent, and the appetizer was a great way to start the meal. For our mains, my wife ordered the Bibimbap with chicken, and I had the Korean Fried Chicken (+$3). When they set the plates down in front of us, I looked at my wife and said, this looks really good -- why haven't we stopped here before? Her dish came in a shallow bowl with cucumbers in a sauce, thinly shaved carrots, kimchi, rice topped with an egg, and a piece of fried chicken with sauce. Mine came with coleslaw, fresh-cut French fries, and two chicken breasts covered in the same flavorful sauce. The chicken on both dishes was the same, and that sauce was outstanding. My first bite was literally, "Why have we passed this place so many times?" My wife loved everything on her plate, and I enjoyed every bite of mine as well. Our dessert, the Apple Crumble, came out before we were completely finished with our meals. This was really the only thing that could have been handled a little differently. Even though we didn't eat it right away, it was still good we just felt a bit rushed trying to finish our food so the dessert wouldn't get cold and the ice cream wouldn't melt. Overall, we found a new top-5 restaurant to eat at when we're in town. To top it all off, while sitting at the bar we were talking with a waiter named Logan. He asked where we were from and mentioned he had family there. It turned out he's a cousin of a friend who grew up with our son and was actually in our son's wedding. Just a few weeks earlier, they were all in Myrtle Beach for a bachelor party for his cousin. Small world! Don't be like us driving past for years and saying "maybe next time." Just stop in and give it a try. The food is wonderful, the service was great, and we will definitely be back.
