    Service was fast and the food was good. Got seated realy fast and had a good spot looking out over the beach

    This sounds dern good too...

    Went to the River City Cafe by the Dunes the other day - there's _seven_ locations, so they're doing something right :) I thought RCC had pretty good food (a burger), a suitable beach-divey vibe and location, location, location... I think if you're in the Myrtle Beach area, it'd almost be hard not to have eaten here once or twice before. The burger was alright and the service was quick. I was a bit surprised by the size of the cocktails though, not a 'great' value in that department.

    This place is a hidden little gem. It's tiny inside so very limited seating in there. The outside has picnic tables seating and a bit more room. They give free peanuts and you can throw your shells on the ground. Service was really good until the end when we tried to pay the bill it just took a really long time. Because it's a small venue, the wait was about 30 minutes and this was only about an hour until closing. Seems like a popular place among the locals and tourists both. Burgers were good and the cheese curds were A++.

    This rustic hometown cafe is within the Sands Ocean Club resort. They operate seasonally March - October. Thus are closed November through February. The food is amazing. Huge world famous burgers and onion rings. The service is fair; I would say it is rustic like the whole feeling you get being here. License plates on the wall, old coke signs to go with the old coke machine.

    Banana Pepper Jack Burger

    These burgers were FANTASTIC!! The Nacho Crunch Burger was 15/10 probably the best burger I've ever had. The Banana Pepper Jack was really good too, but the other one was honestly perfect. The atmosphere was great. Perfect spot for dinner to grab a few drinks and a bite. Price was very fair for the food we ordered. Our server was so kind and checked up on us often. Definitely recommend River City Cafe if you're staying in Myrtle Beach!!

    If you're coming from a different North Myrtle beach hotel, just know that this restaurant is located inside a different resort/hotel and ask the front desk where it is because we got lost Can't beat the prices of these burgers, like that OMG Burger was ~$15 and had two grilled cheese sandwiches with the burger stuff AND onion rings AND fries Mushroom and Swiss burger was great as well!! The only downside would be the Mac & Cheese Burger... why use Kraft mac and cheese Also, I know in other cafes the wait is usually quite long (our friend visited a different location), but it was pretty fast at this location because they were only doing take out that specific day we went.

    My first time here, we stopped in the day we were checking out of our hotel. This location was in the hotel. The combos they have for the specialty burgers are very interesting. But I love trying different things. They have some of the best burgers!! They were cooked perfectly! The price and portions were good! We enjoyed our meal so much, we ended up stopping back by later that day on our way home! Lol Although we got the specialty burgers, they have regular ones too. And other things besides burgers. I've been several times since then, but forgot to take pics lol. There are several locations in Myrtle Beach. This visit was a while back, but I've been several times since then. Always delicious!

    Such a cool place! Everything down to the coloring table placement is awesome! Our server Sherry was Amazing! And the food was just as great! Our family definitely loved visiting with each other and having a great lunch. I will say if your planning on eating onion rings.. you might wanna order a burger/ sandwich with no sides!

    I was really disappointed with my experience at this BBQ spot. The food itself was good, but the…read moreway they handle their happy hour specials completely ruined the vibe. Apparently, if you want to order the happy hour food specials, you're required to sit at the bar. If you're at a regular table--even if there are plenty open--you're out of luck. This policy makes zero sense from a customer standpoint. Not everyone wants to squeeze into a bar seat just to get a discounted appetizer. Some people come with friends, family, or kids and would prefer to sit at a table and actually relax. For a restaurant that has the space, it feels unnecessarily restrictive and honestly a little unwelcoming. It also puts the staff in an awkward position because they have to constantly explain the rule to confused customers. A good happy hour should make people want to stay longer and order more, not make them feel like they're being forced into a specific seat just to participate. BBQ is supposed to be casual and hospitable. Unfortunately, this place managed to make it feel oddly rigid and inconvenient. There are plenty of other spots that manage happy hour without making customers jump through hoops.
