RipTydz - FRIED SHRIMP BOAT - Seafood Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Gorgeous view on their rooftop - highly recommend requesting to sit up there if the weather allows. You get to see the water if sat on the edge and it's beautiful! No reservations but it was quick to get seated upon entering. FYI automatic 15% gratuity added to all checks. We ordered the surf & turf burger and that is what made this place lose a star. The lobster itself was great but it lacked seasoning and butter. The burger itself as well was dry - just patty, lettuce, lobster, and bread. It needed cheese and/or a secret sauce and butter. Now the mac & cheese was amazing! Cheesy, gooey, flavorful, and the seafood hit the spot. If I'm ever back in town I'd order the mac again for sure (probably another flavor to try it out). Our waiter was knowledgeable and answered my questions of the menu. He gave good recommendations and substitutions for my friend who doesn't eat pork. read more

This restaurant was close to where we were staying so my husband and I decided to check it out. We sat rooftop, the weather was great. There was a light breeze and we could hear the waves crashing. They take your credit card upon seating, not sure why, maybe some people eat and walk out without paying but that's what was required. The drink was expensive as hell, like $30 and hubby and I got seafood which we know is pricey but I don't think it justifies being 60$ each. read more

1st, Hannah, our server has a great attitude & very willing to put up with fussy eaters like us. You're not going there for the ambiance, dress beach casual. The wave motif is very cool. read more

This is our second visit within 4 weeks. We came into town for my daughter's dance convention and thought this would be a nice lunch spot for the family. The host was very nice, and we were seated with a beautiful view. Unfortunately, after quite a long wait, the food arrived cold. The only thing that was actually hot was the kids' macaroni and cheese. I rarely leave reviews, but we use Yelp as a trustworthy guide when choosing restaurants, and this experience was very disappointing -- especially for the price point. The beer was flat, the pub chips tasted stale, and while the Riptide Shrimp had great flavor, both that dish and the shrimp po' boy were barely lukewarm. Overall, the food quality did not match the prices or reviews. read more

I went here last year and we totally loved it..the location is perfect because it's right on the beach and then there's the outside so you can go outside while you're waiting for your food however I'm not quite sure where all these hidden fees came from. They require your credit card up front which is fine, then you get a server fee, and you get a service fee we were not told about the service fee. We were also not told up front that the kids fries didn't come with it and she made it sound like it just came with it because she said fries but didn't offer the other option which was chips. She was a fine server but it was just little disappointing all the fees at the end and they didn't nothing for birthday other than say it which I don't expect them to sing but maybe just a little something. However the food is really good especially the cowboy chicken sandwich I got with the onion rings and the sauce on the side. My mom got the fish and chips but did not think they were as good as last year. My boys got mac and cheese but they did not like it because it had like a bunch of cheese on top that wasn't like mixed into it. Overall I would definitely not be back unfortunately which is sad because I really loved it last year I don't want to give it a two star because I think that the food is worth it. read more

May 2025: Riptydes is a masterclass in how to ruin a meal and insult your customers. The service was an outright disgrace--our waiter hurled our smoked Gouda and chicken egg rolls at us like we were targets in a carnival game, then vanished without a trace. My son had to grovel at the bar for plates because apparently basic tableware is too much to ask for in this dump. The egg rolls? Lukewarm, with cheese so unmelted it might as well have been straight from the fridge. Pure incompetence. The New England clam chowder was an abomination--flavorless, devoid of clams or potatoes, and tasting like the dregs of a dollar-store can left to rot in a warehouse. My son's chicken Caesar wrap was a soggy, inedible mess, swimming in dressing like it was trying to drown itself, paired with kettle potato chips so stale they could've been dug out of a landfill. The waitress had the audacity to open with a smug announcement about their automatic 15% gratuity--because clearly, they know no one in their right mind would tip for this pathetic excuse of a dining experience. And the ambiance? A complete assault on the senses. Country music blared inside, but it was obliterated by the ear-splitting roar of motorcycles tearing up and down the strip. With every window flung open, we were forced to choke on a thick cloud of exhaust fumes for an hour--delightful. As if that wasn't enough, outside was a brain-dead contest of morons cranking their vehicle stereos to apocalyptic levels, with 20 different songs blasting simultaneously in a cacophony so obnoxious it could make your ears bleed. Riptydes isn't just a restaurant; it's a punishment. Myrtle Beach's only redeeming move is to flee and never look back. Zero stars isn't low enough for this cesspool. read more

RipTydz - Seafood Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Is this a cool spot on the boardwalk for first timers or going out for drinks? Yes. Is the food anywhere near worth the prices? Absolutely not. Honestly laughable how much they're gouging tourists and refuse to be another one of them. Subpar food at best, spotty service and overall not worth your time or cash. Too many good spots in the area to settle here. read more

Restaurant/Bar was packed by the time we arrived, which we expected. We were seated and waited 30 minutes before tracking down staff to take our drink orders. Food came quickly--my friend ordered wings that were wet and a little soggy looking. Food was ok, certainly not worth the wait or hassle. Restaurant was busy, not a relaxing atmosphere if that's what you're looking for. Drinks would probably be better to order than food here. read more

First time was great Second time not so good . Last for a credit card in the beginning of the meal, but yet they say people don't skip that on their meal. I don't understand that I don't like someone having my credit card when I sit down before I even order. But I did it the salad was OK. Nothing great. Waitress was not nice And that does effect the meal , read more

Kadie was amazing!!!! She was very attentive and the service was perfect! I do t know what else to write to get to 85 characters

Not as great as I thought this place would be. We came for happy hour advertisement but the selections for happy hour covered stuff was limited.. we shared a steamer and it was good . Nothing was over top great about it but its location is right on beach. Our server was nice but as time went by she seemed less enthusiastic.. she was good enough to inform us that they charge a 15% gratuity up front right off the bay so your not surprised by your bill. We sat on third floor because off season that's only floor that was open.. just didn't seem like the price matched vibe if that makes sense.. I don't mind paying for an experience in place like this just seemed lack luster.. ads seemed a lot more fun than it was.. parking is limited so your valet parked too read more

Had a horrible time with these folks. When we first got there the hostess gave us a hard time about being seated. Once we finally got into one of the many empty seats the waiter without taking orders or greeting us properly asked for my credit card because he was afraid I would run. It was the most lowlife experience i have had. Does this place attract only the worst sorts? Served my dink in an old pickle jar read more

Great food and views. Server was very friendly. Will definitely come back on our next visit.

Visiting from out of town first we asked how much the drinks were she said she didn't know i don't see how's that possible when you see the checks and prices not on menu anyway got a Cadillac margarita $22 and a patron margarita $20 could not even taste the liquor and the food was subpar appetizer 2 burgers came with stale chips , egg roll appetizer, and the drinks and oh the charge 15% for parties up to 19 the 20% after. Bill was $124.88 definitely a tourist trap. Don't waste your money here. read more

Had a Bahama Mama in their Large Mason Jar on the afternoon of 3/10/2026. While the drink itself was huge being served with 4 straws,and Great fruit flavors, that's about all anyone could say. I did drink the entire jar by myself, it was amazing that I did not get a slight buzz,especially 1. Drinking it by myself, 2. I drank it rather fast. So if you like paying for a super large and expensive FRUIT DRINK, this is for you. Others in my party stated the same things about her two Margaritas. My wife has a glass of wine while my stepson had two beers. Now I understand why the charge a 15% Tip upfront!! My guess, I will not be returning!!! read more

Not my style at all foods not good drinks are expensive waitresses Disappeared and automatic 15% gratuity added to drinks and the worst of it all no soap in the bathrooms just a basic need! Management had an attitude definitely not for the customer. Beware. And very slow Nicest thing I can say about the place is the view is fabulous Lots of people drinking and their kids running wild, tripping hazards, music, so loud and more like a dance club read more

Worst calamari I've ever had and I've Ben eating calamari since the 80's! Terrible taste, burnt and looks terrible

On vacation and RipTydz was close to our condo. It was a very windy evening so we stayed inside to eat. Soon as we sat down I'm told he needs a credit card to even start our order. And there is an automatic 15% charge. Ok whatever. Takes my card and we start looking at drink menu. He comes back with card and says if you order a drink make sure you like it because you can't send it back. If we weren't really hungry I would have left. Food was ok. We won't be back next time we're on vacation. read more

after being sat we waited 20 minutes. had to go to bar and ask for a server. server was awful! after I paid bill in cash, she said she would be back with change. after 15 minutes I had to go into bar again where I saw her talking with co workers. so I asked bar for manager. while waiting I saw her grab her bag and leave!!! manager came out and brought me my recipe with incorrect change!! I paid cash plus they held my card. manager did give me my correct change after I let him know. hopefully my card isn't charged too. on our way out... we had valet parking. they lost our vehicle. waited another 15+ minutes and the. they went through the keys asking which was ours! I will never go back. food wasn't ok, not worth price. view was great. everything else was such an awful experience! read more

Looking for a spot in more southern Myrtle for a lunch with a view? Want a good selection of beer? Well guess what?! Here it is. When we walked in we were greeted by a friendly staff that offered us a table on the 3rd floor to be able to enjoy the view overlooking the beach. Once we were settled, we order some cold local beers to keep us refreshed in the sunny day. Next up the food. It did have a slight delay but absolutely worth it. The surf and turf burger was a first for me, a juicy beef patty topped with real crab meat that had the perfect combo of land and sea. I would definitely order this again. Also pictured are the buttery lobster dogs and one of the wraps available to order. Everything came out full of flavor and fed our hungry bellies to the top. Overall, this spot checked all the boxes of a casual beach lunch with a view, great food, cold beer, and an attentive and friendly staff. Hope to come back soon! read more

Loved this place!!! What a vibe!! We had the best lunch. Our waitress Taylor was a gem. I'm a little picky eater (although I may not look it) and I really wanted a buffalo chicken wrap. So I was able to sub a few things on the coconut chicken wrap which was phenomenal. I bet in the summer this place is really fun right on the beach. The drinks are in a very large cup which we had refilled and put a lid on for our ride back home. We went on the rooftop for some pictures as well. Highly recommend this place and will be coming back in the summer! Thank you Taylor for the great service. read more

An overall good experience here! The food is typical bar food. I enjoyed the shrimp. I would stay away from the mozzarella triangles, they were not very good. The wings were solid. This is a great place to watch a game, listen to live music, or sit outside on the roof top and enjoy an absolutely fantastic view. They have some excellent mixed drinks. Our server Emily was very nice and attentive all night. Outdoors they have several games, including giant Jenga and cornhole. We will definitely be here again. Thanks for a fun evening. read more

just keep in mind that you're paying for the view here, not so much the very overpriced bar food. We had two sandwiches with fries, my beer and her cocktail totaled over $80 before tip. Lots of extra taxes added to the bill. In addition to the already high 15% sales tax, they also added a food, tax, liquor, tax, draft, tax, and a transaction fee of 4% for using a credit card (something I was not told about in advance)!! read more

I thought it was crazy that you have to give them a credit card before you order and a 15 percent tip is automatic regardless of service. I usually tip more if the service is good. I am a local but will not be back for this reason. read more

Love the location and atmosphere. We are there last year and it isn't the same. I should have know based on the crowd. It was dead. Fish tacos were bland (with blackened) and the slaw was just cabbage. No real flavor. Not sure how you mess up this beach staple. Their rice was so bland no one in my party of 8 would eat it. The snow crab legs were just awful. Overcooked and too salty to eat. It wasn't the bay seasoning, it was the meat inside the shell. They said all of their snow crab would taste that way. They replaced them with Dungeness that were also not good (overcooked and really mushy with no seasoning). $72.80 for a crab and lobster boil should be so much better. They also charged for cocktail sauce and drawn butter when you order shrimp or crab and lobster meals. Who does that? Way overpriced for food quality. We won't be back. Best parts - the fried pickles and the atmosphere. read more

Fantastic place to go out and hang out with friends and get some nice seafood. They were very accommodating to the games that we wanted to see beautiful backdrop of the ocean. Little bit pricey, but it's worth it. It was very clean and the staff was very friendly and quick. read more

My husband and I dined here a few days ago and I'm so happy we did ! After reading the reviews before coming here I contacted nick the manager as they have a policy of a credit card is required before dining ! I absolutely refused as I have been hacked in the past ! I just paid cash as we went . Bella I believe was her name ( the Italian hottie from Jersey ) took such great care of us ! She was super sweet , super kind , so funny and an amazing server ! The food we ordered was delicious , the cocktails we ordered were supper yummy and the prices were reasonable ! They did have a mandatory gratuity which is totally fair cause most people are too stingy to tip . We actually let them take the gratuity and tipped her again on top of that twice ! I highly recommend this amazing establishment! If we ever come back to Myrtle Beach this is our go to place read more

We arrived here it's next to the beach front by ocean. We left our truck with valet parking at the door and they took great care of our vehicle. There's three floors to have dinner at. We did roof top but it started to get very windy and a storm was about to start but it was a great time. The service was great and the food was fantastic. We ordered the bbq burger, Mac and cheese burger, snow crab, lobster and bacon Mac and cheese, buffalo Mac n cheese, mozzarella wedges, smoked Gouda chicken egg rolls and rip n shrimp tacos. The mozzarella wedges were amazing nice and hot with a cheese pull. The smoked Gouda chicken egg rolls to be honest was my least favorite. They did not stand out and the taste wasn't great. The bbq burger was a good portion as well as the Mac n cheese burger. You can't go wrong with either burger they are delicious. The rip n shrimp tacos were very delicious and the right amount and great flavor. The buffalo Mac and cheese was a huge portion with very flavorful buffalo sauce. The chicken was cooked perfectly and juicy. The lobster and bacon Mac and cheese was my favorite. Huge portion with a great cheesy sauce and taste. The snow crab was a good size but it takes for ever to peel them legs. The sweet tea was great our waiter took great care of us. When I come back this is where I'm stopping for dinner. read more
