    The entrance to Ritchie's.
    Ken P.

    While down in Myrtle Beach, SC visiting the family, we took a trip to the town of Loris to have some early dinner at Ritchie's General Store and Eatery. They had read about them in some recent guide and I'm always interested in trying out new places if people are willing to make the trek. As the crow flies, the town of Loris is a little over a 35 minute drive from their part of Myrtle Beach and off we went. Ritchie's is a very nice looking place with the food counter and general store aspect to one side and a sizable dining room on the opposite side in a different room. There are a lot of options but they were looking into the Meat Loaf and I always love an order of that so was game. Essentially you ask the server behind the counter what you'll have and they put it on the plate for you. So a buffet but not really a buffet. There are numerous ways one can order depending on how many sides you wanted or didn't want. I had the meat loaf with mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. They also gave a piece of cornbread. The dining room was empty except for us based on the time of day but it was a sizable one. It was very clean and bright and the staff we spoke to were all very friendly. There was a small town vibe to the place which made sense since this was indeed a small town. Being a city guy from NYC I don't get to enjoy that vibe all that much so it was a nice change of pace. All in all I enjoyed my order. It was a filling meat loaf for sure and I left full and definitely in need of a lengthy walk afterwards. I recommend trying the place if you're in the region but based on my distance its highly unlikely that I will be back there. Of course that's not in stone so maybe. Either way nice work Team Ritchie's.

    Outstanding food and service. POT ROAST a must! Great home cooking! Yum yum yum!!!!

    Shrimp and Grits!

    Absolutely blown away by how delicious the shrimp and grits is. Pretty pricey, but wow if you want legit southern cooking that'll have you feeling good this is it. Right on Main Street in loris it's easy enough to get to. Lots of different items on the menu to pick and try as well. This place is a diamond in Loris.

    Pot roast, rice and gravy, Mac and cheese, with corn bread.

    Good hometown food. The grill cheese sandwich was delicious. Don't forget to try the chicken bog.

    This was our first time at this restaurant. We easily found a parking space in the front. We were…read moregreeted warmly when we stepped in the restaurant and out of the sunshine. If you go in the front door there are a few steps to climb. If you need flat entrances they are around back. The host took us to our seats and explained the buffet to us. It is only a buffet place. But you can order a take out as well. There were two tables of food and a dessert table. The salad bar seemed to never end. Everything was cut fresh with no limp vegetables or lettuce. Marilyn brought me coffee and Bev Tea. It was plenty hot and fresh. I absolutely love their coffee. I had two cups before I even finished my plate of food. Marilyn was very attentive to each table and came to ours often. After I finished my salad. I saw Carie filling a plate for someone. When she was done I asked her if she could get me a chicken breast. My joint pain and back pain had been extreme this week. Using the walker was even painful. Carie said, "Absolutely !" She returned quickly and with a smile. The staff is so kind. The manager Tommy came by our table to see how we were enjoying our meal. I let him know the salad bar was perfect. The chicken I enjoyed was tender and juicy. I also noticed the teamwork between the staff was easy and natural like a choreographed dance. Bev and I plan to return for the Easter Sunday Meal. Check this pace out and tell them Willie and Bev sent you. Ms. Willie Conway.

I know they were closing early, but they were far from closing down. They must have a good enough business to turn away customers that would have been loyal future customers, but Judy Boone must not need that....RICH AND RUDE! Happy Father's Day, y'all!

After having the crab cake sandwich we would recommend doing the platter because the bread overpowers the crab cake. Everything was incredible, the flavors, consistency, and quality. It is for sure comfort food but nothing sits heavy and feels super fresh. Not a fan of coleslaw but it was super yummy and great corn fritters for our first time having them. Service was great. Ambiance was super informal and adds to the vibe of what you're eating. Also unrelated but the cashier/server has a super calming energy/presence/voice which totally added to the vibe

Came with slaw, 1x Side (Collard Greens: sweet vinegar with some heat, and a bit of pork, really good!), and some AMAZING Hushpuppies (fresh, sweet corn bread). Shrimp & Grits: Fantastic! Buttery and cheesy grits with sausage and nice shrimp (not over-cooked or chewy). Green beans were slightly too soft (30-mins until closing), but good comfort food. Coleslaw was "meh," but a good, crunchy foil to the fish and rice. Counter Service (order at register, then they bring to table/to-go) was quite fast, given that they had to cook the fish and prep foods for take-out. Everything looked clean, staff was nice, and owner was talking to everyone. Didn't get to try the variety of desserts, but they looked and smelled great. Traveling, but worth the stop!

    Shuler's is located off I-95, Exit 181A heading towards Marion and Myrtle Beach. You have to drive…read morea mile or so from the exit but it's easy to spot. The place is a large wooden building that resembles something that would have been built in the 1870's. There are a few bench's and chairs on the front porch to relax in after eating or if you need to wait for a table. They have a general store with some interesting items as well. Schuler's is a buffet style barbecue and all you can eat. Their pulled pork is their best meat. I wasn't really impressed with their ribs though. Don't get me wrong, the were pretty good but I certainly wasn't blown away. Their fried chicken is good but again not much different from most buffets in South Carolina. Their collards are nice and they do offer hash. If you're thinking corn beef hash, it's not that. It's a BBQ or liver hash and it's definitely an acquired taste. I usually put it over rice if I get it. Hash was highly popular in South Carolina for many years. It can't hurt to try it as Schuler's is actually pretty good. Not my favorite barbecue in the area but it's cool place with great people.

The staff was very friendly, the service was good...I had takeout but the restaurant is a buffet inside. It clearly is a place the locals enjoy and it is an easy stop if you are on the way to the beach. All in all, my favorite was actually the hot dog. The chili was excellent and the slaw had just a touch of sweetness. The BBQ was well prepared, just not my favorite style or taste profile...a bit too much twang. I would recommend Shuler's if you are in the area and look forward to trying other items the next time I return.
