    Went here for the 1st time on Monday September 14th 2026 with my aunt, mom and a friend. The friend was visiting, and we decided to take her to a nice spot by the beach. Located right on the beach and water with views of the water and in the heart of Myrtle Beach. Note 4-5 Stars. Place has parking, and it is valet parking. (although, my aunt was uncomfortable with that, and asked the guy if she could park herself- and we did. 4) We entered the building via the elevator, and was greeted by a smiling host who listened to our preferences. We asked if the rooftop is covered and it wasn't, so opted for the outside patio, which is covered. However, the windows were open that day and it can let birds in! Anyways, this is a big restaurant by the water. Loved the water view from our table. Duly note that they keep your card on file, and they also charge a credit card fee. They did accommodate our separate checks. Our server did explain everything and was pleasant. We started with 4 waters, and I had an electric lemonade! They have an extensive drink menu, and small, but plenty of options of food like sandwiches, burgers, and fish items,and pricing is clear. we started with an appetizer of coconut shrimp and the chicken eggrolls, which were part of the happy hour items. For entree, I ordered the Shrimp po boy and they came with chips. Fries were extra. can't remember what my mom had, but my aunt and friend had the fish tacos. I enjoyed my shrimp po boy, as it was the perfect amount of food, and didn't fall apart! Loved hanging by the water views. in total my mom and i's check was 76.15, and we gave the waitress a $5.00 tip. Will definitely be back for the water views!

    For dinner while we were in Myrtle Beach, we tried out this restaurant on the beach. We walked in and decided to sit outside to enjoy the ocean view. After being seated, I put in our beer order and ten plus minutes later, we finally got them. They had a lot of servers that night, so not sure what took so long and it happened again and again, so slow! After our first round of beer, our order came out: dozen raw oysters and sea lovers entree. The oysters were much better than the sea lovers entree, which was a disappointment and it was so bland, no seasoning or flavor. The ocean views there were much better than the food for sure!

    Seafood boil...so good. It is not cheap, but is not overpriced. Well worth the price.

    Every year we make a trip to RipTydz. There aren't many places that you can have a great meal and enjoy beautiful outdoor views of the ocean but also smell that salt air. The food is always a pleasure as well. Word of advice, unfortunately a few bad apples have forced management to take your card before you order because people have done a fine and dash too often. It isn't a problem for me but some people may take offense so beware.

    This was my 2nd time at Rip Tydz and honestly not sure if I would visit again. My husband ordered a burger but I only had drinks. Let me just say the burger tasted as if it was pre cooked and waiting on someone to order- gross. My drink - noooo but the rooftop is beautiful. Oh, and they hold your credit card which they tell you up front- but wow!!!

    Beautiful two-story setup, dual bars, and fantastic beach views. Even packed during a World Cup game, the service was fast, friendly, and exceptionally attentive--their bar staff runs a tight ship with virtually no wait times. The food was a flawless 10/10. We came back twice in one trip and will be returning every time we're in town. Underrated spot that deserves far higher than its current rating!

    Oyster Rockefeller
    Jeff H.

    Great atmosphere and location. Service was generally good too. The crab cake sandwich I ordered was small, and bland. I was hoping it would be better, but I was disappointed. The oyster Rockefeller were tasty, but too much bread crumbs.

    I like this place a lot. I like the view of the ocean and I like the art that they have and I like the drinks and I like the chicken wrap but every time I go, the service is really bad and my favorite drink they doubled the price of it in the past week because I have been coming here a lot and it was almost 8 dollars and now it's $14 and when I ordered a chicken wrap, mac & cheese, and one drink, the server was asking me to pay before I get my food.. and it was only like $35.. I've never had a restaurant asked me to pay before I get my food unless I was getting it to go

    BLACKENED SHRIMP & BEER CHEESE PUB CHIPS

    8/10 good food and the drink cups were pretty large. You'll pay the price for seafood as always but it was good overall. The chicken kabobs could have had a little more flavor with everything else being perfect.

    Smoked Gouda & Chicken Egg Rolls
    Scott F.

    Needed some lunch so gave RipTydz a try. Service was good throughout the meal. No complaints there. Started with the Smoked Gouda and Chicken Egg Rolls. They were very good. Crunchy and delicious. For my main I went with the Crab Cake sandwich and the Chesapeake Seasoned Fries. The Crab Cake was just ok. A lot of filler in it but was cooked well and the pretzel roll was good. The fries were a disappointment. They were cooked uneven and the seasoning on them was very light. Overall it was a good experience and will try something a bit different next time.

    Coconut shrimp

    This place was amazing. We eat at the rooftop. There was a DJ playing music and they were on point. The food was very delicious. I would highly recommend this place. The service was good. They have a 15% gratuity already added to the bill.

    Appetizers
    Jason J.

    Super friendly staff and good atmosphere, looking out over the beach. Appetizers were tasty and the shrimp and grits was some of the best I've had in awhile. Definitely worth a visit.

    The family and I dined here once during outr stay. We went around 6 pm and there were plenty of options for a party of 6. We wanted the roof top seating but decided against it due to the beaming sun and the looming threat of a downpour. We decided inside next to the open windows was best. The Hostess greated us and showed us to a nice table with a good view. If you dont already know, tables require someone's card to open a tab to get started, however you are permitted to split the check however you like. My family talked up the seafood here as my nephew had been before. I decided to order the Sea Lovers Steamer: crab legs, mussels, clams, shrimp and sausage - sans potatoes and corn. It was a nice large meal that I shamelessly did not share with anyone. Everyone's food came out in a reasonable time and hot. Only my neice had to send hers back - she asked for something to be put on the side inside of on her tacos. Turns out the put it on her tacos and she didn't like the taste. They were quickly remade and brought out. The food was good and our Server did a good job especially considering it was just her third day at work. Being seated indoors near the open patio and window allowed the fresh air and sounds of the ocean to set the ambiance. Music played in the background, actually sounded like it was recordings of live covers. It was a good overall experience. I would dine here again.

    $30 margaritas mix with little to no booze

    Tried going to this place the Friday before labor day. This place is run poorly. Ordered drinks and I ordered a margarita. Medium or large. I assumed large was a pint glass. They come back with this giant behemoth. Okay and then I find out its $30. Not happy but no problem. Then I take a couple sips. There is no booze in there whatsoever. Its all pre-made margarita mix. I ask for a beer instead I cant drink this. Waiter agrees, so does his manager. Then the GM says sorry, I'm overriding them we wont take it off the bill. Wow that was dumb. No problem. Cancel the rest and we left. Also what nerve charging customers 15% service charge. We were party of 4 but they do it for everyone including parties of 1. Stay away. The appetizers were average at best but the service sucked. Stay away from this rodeo clown show. My experience is zero point zero Plutarski!

When visiting for a family beach trip, we decided to try this beloved seafood buffet. Along the strip in Myrtle Beach, the roads are lined with a plethora of Seafood Buffets ranging from small family owned to large attraction-like restaurants. Without having tried any of the other options, I would say this has to be the best in town. The atmosphere, staff, variety of food offerings, and taste were unmatched. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a unique buffet experience. The exterior of this restaurant is massive and felt like a large Shopping Center with beautiful landscaping, water features, beautiful windows, and colorful siding. Upon arrival, we were asked at the door our party size. They had two entry lines based on table sizes. Since our party was four, we were sent to the shorter line and did not even have to wait to be seated. As we were walked to our table, we passed massive sailing ships complete with rows of hot and cold foods. The ceiling was reminiscent of the ocean skies. The entire restaurant felt like an experience already. I was amazed by the theming, cleanliness, and attention to details. For adults, the buffet is right around $50/person + drinks and tax. The buffet is all-you-can-eat with mutiple serving lines placed around the vast dining hall. As a picky eater, I was honestly a little worried that the offerings would primarily be seafood options; however, I was happily surprised that the buffet line had a LARGE selection ranging from Chicken Tenders and Fries to Pulled Pork and Macaroni and Cheese. I was actually very excited to find so many of my favorite foods and be able to eat just a little of them all! Some other offerings I added to my plate include hush puppies, corn on the cob, fried fish sticks, rolls, and cheddar biscuits all in one trip. My brother is more adventurous in his selection and was able to try different fish and crab legs with multiple trips. They had almost two whole buffet areas filled with seafood dishes that I didn't even visit. His favorite was just the shrimp! They also have a whole dessert room with a wide range of sweet dishes. To be honest, some of the food was mediocre or tasted similar to standard buffet-food-quality. The macaroni was a little bland. The fries were a little soggy. However, the restaurant was so busy that food was being rotated and changed out quickly on the buffet line. Overall, the entire experience was fun and unique. The restaurant was very expensive for a family of four, especially when you're not eating over the top or making multiple trips; however, the nautical theming, food selections, and service set this buffet apart from many others. You'll find something to eat whether you're picky or love the most adventurous of seafood dishes.

The atmosphere was nice, lots to look at and the vibe for someone's birthday looked entertaining while it happened. I'd give it a 4/5. Unfortunately while the advertising for this place gives off 5/5. The actual food was just okay. The eggs were definitely overcooked. For how fast we got our order, once it was ordered, felt like they had each thing already cooked and sitting in possibly a warmer in the back and once they know what combo you're getting quick toss it together in a already mixed seasoning of your choice. We got the Cajun seasoning at medium heat. There was no heat at all. No kick. Quite disappointing bc the hottest option was one step above medium. I'd hate to think that the no spice or mild options are just bland and blander. Try it if you want. Or don't. Maybe it was an off day for them. But if I visit Myrtle Beach again, I wouldn't come here.

I absolutely love this place and is one of my favorite places to stop before I head to Myrtle Beach. It's located in Calabash, NC so it's like 10 minutes before you get to the SC boarder. It might be shorter than that. But anyway, I love coming here obviously the food is fresh and fantastic. They have plenty of outdoor seating and it's always nice and clean. The staff is wonderful. I love that every time I've come, I'm always greeted with a warm welcome and a smile. Everything that I've tried has been great. And they have lots of options. Check out my pics and I'm a creature of habit so I got the same thing but one thing I did try was the Wahoo fish. It was perfect and I'd never had it before. I can see this easily being a fan favorite. And lastly the dessert. I highly recommend getting the fried pound cake and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It's heavenly. Although, not pictured, they have a great pumpkin pie. Follow their Instagram for updates because they do close down I want to say the Thanksgiving day up until Spring so about March or April. It's a good time and you won't be disappointed. Check them out if you are in the area.
