LOVED!! The burgers here. Walking distance from our hotel and so held we did. It was so good we had to come back a 2nd night and will definitely come again! Yummy burgers. Cold beer. Great service. I would highly recommend checking them out. read more

River City Cafe is a great casual spot for lunch or dinner when you're craving classic café-style food. We ordered the grilled chicken salad, a burger, and onion rings. The onion rings were huge, crispy, and definitely worth ordering. The atmosphere is laid-back and fun, with that old-school casual vibe where you can snack on peanuts and toss the shells on the floor while you eat. A chill place to relax, grab a good meal, and enjoy comfort food with family or friends. read more

All I ordered was cheese fries...easy-peasy, there's even a picture on the menu that states 'melted shredded cheddar'. I waited 25 minutes for fries, in a to go box, slathered in canned nacho cheese sauce. My friend got a burger and onion rings...only plural because she received two rings. Reading the reviews, apparently I should have ordered a burger, but I was turned off completely. read more

Our waitress was Ashley and she was very friendly ! We had not been back in a few years. This particular night they were short handed on the service side. Long line of people outside was a good sign that this was still a sought after restaurant. Food took a little longer than we cared for but it was all very delicious. We had burgers and fried shrimp. The decor is "all over the place". You have to go to see what I mean. The License plates were numerous and varied. read more

Great spot and even greater prices. Wonderful dive with really tasty food. Stopped by here for a drink and a snack and it did not disappoint. Enormous "world famous" onion rings and super crunchy fried banana peppers. Drinks are strong and very reasonably priced. If you're looking for a fun bar with delicious food that won't break the bank, this is it. read more

We stopped by River City Café and loved it! There's a huge outdoor seating area with a fun beach vibe ... and don't forget to bring sharpie because you can write on the deck!. The staff was so friendly and attentive, gave great menu suggestions, and kept our drinks refilled the whole time. We ordered the cheese puffs (not pictured because we were too excited and dug in right away - SO good!), the Buffalo Chicken Burger, the Smashburger, and the Shoestring Burger. The portions are enormous and everything was delicious. For how much food you get, the prices are incredibly reasonable. We'll definitely be back! read more

Walk in and it looks like a super cool fun bar! The menu is loaded with amazing looking burgers... they looked even better coming out of the kitchen. I went with a Rueben and it was spot on!!!! Fries were great - ask for ranch to dip them in- their ranch dressing was killer! Would totally go back! read more

Good service! Burger was nice and juicy. Bacon on the cheese fries was slight but still good.

This is my new go-to spot whenever I'm in Myrtle Beach! My Mom was craving a burger and this place was highly rated. We decided to give it a shot. The parking was a bit tricky but after entering I was told that there's additional parking behind the business. The waitress was really nice and chatted with us as we decided on what we wanted. There were seats outside and every table was full. We wanted our food to go so we ordered at the bar. I LOVE the decor style indoors. There are license places everywhere. I think that's very cool. I ordered their Peach Hot Chicken sandwich and cheese curds. The chicken sandwich was DELICIOUS!!!! Whatever sauce they used was so good. The cheese curds were yummy as well. I highly recommend this place. read more

We showed up here one evening as we searched for somewhere open without a huge wait. Somehow we missed the rush (as the server said.) They were open and there was no one there. I was afraid we had came in on them cleaning, but it wasn't time yet. They were still totally open. We nearly had the place to ourselves and it was heavenly! We were sat immediately and served right away. I tried a sandwich, which I don't remember the complete details of but I remember it being so tasty and toasty. I also had onion rings that were so big and so good! I also love the cups we could take with us. I'm all about reusing and this was excellent to take back to the house where we're staying at to use the remainder of our stay. Highly recommend! read more

A burger spot in Myrtle with graffiti like decor. PLEASE TRY THEIR JALAPEÑO BACON JAM BURGER! It was one of my favorite burgers to try. I was skeptical at first about having a sweet and spicy burger but it worked SO well together. It was very spicy, and then jam was a different texture but it was so yummy! Just try it, if you enjoy the heat! read more

River City Cafe is amongst my favorite places to eat in Myrtle Beach. In my opinion, it is the best burger you will find. The prices are great for the portion and taste. The inside is decorated really cool, and there are dollar bills all over the walls. You can leave one yourself if you like, after decorating it. I've been coming here since I was a kid and the food has always hit the spot and there has never been a time when the service was not spectacular and the staff were not friendly!! They are always efficient and kind. read more

We had the continental burger, bacon burger, maji burger and chicken tenders. Everything was good and so was the service; definitely four stars. read more

I ordered a regular cheeseburger with blue cheese and my desired condiments. It was good. I like my burgers, simple and sauce. It did what it was supposed to do. I'm happy I didn't order a side of fries because it was soggy from the heavy oil and without any flavor. If you want a quick bite, pull up. I may not understand the hype with the reviews, but I understand everyone's experience is different. I can only speak on my experience. Also, beware of the Peanuts on the floor read more

We went on a night where the poor girls that worked there were clearly understaffed. They worked so hard to make our experience amazing. Yet apparently it wasn't good enough for the manager who fired one of the girls just for speaking up about staffing. Absolute trash move on managements part. Those girls hustled, had amazing teamwork, and got everyone's food out in an appropriate amount of time! read more

We are in town for the weekend scouting out the city and needed burgers after a full day.

This has been our favorite place so far on our trip to Myrtle Beach. The food and atmosphere is great. The whole group enjoyed it. Price was right on point. They had some issues with the payment system when we went so it extended our wait a little bit. Not a big deal. Would highly recommend it. read more

Outstanding buffalo chicken sandwich!! Will definitely go back to try burgers and wings.

First visit to Myrtle Beach for a family vacay and River City came highly recommended by my dad, specifically for the onion rings. River City is clearly a tourist favorite - the place looks busy every time we passed by. The restaurant itself is not huge and has outdoor seating, but the service was definitely timely considering. Our waitress (I hate I forgot her name) was super chill! She was very down to earth and clearly knew the menu and process very well. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich. Listen, the food is filling! You will not be disappointed. My sandwich was meaty - great bread to meat ratio. And the chicken was evenly coated with enough sauce which was great in comparison to sandwiches I've had in the past. The onion rings were truly impressive. I'm used to onion rings being hard to pull/cut apart or simply falling apart. Firstly, the rings are definitely HUGE! Whatever coating they used maintained a nice crunch and the ring could easily be sectioned apart. We'll clearly be back to River City whenever we come back to Myrtle Beach! read more

This is the first place I ate when visiting. Good spot for burgers because they have a huge selection. Got an indoor and outdoor seating section and they have free peanuts to eat. I got a continental burger, with a fried egg on it. Also got bacon jam on the side. The meal was filling and I tried their onion rings, which they're known for, and it was good. read more

If you want a great local restaurant that has clearly been operating for so many years, then go to this place. Their burgers are really unique and delicious to eat. I sat at the bar counter and had the best server that had been working here for at least 20 years. She was super great and helped me pick the most unique burger since I had never been here. The vibe in here is cool with an old time feel but is very neat to sit and have a meal. read more

Small, quaint bar type of atmosphere. Our waiter Sarah was sweet & attentive, but the food lacked flavor and the texture of the wings were completely off. Joel said the Ruben sandwich left a lot to be desired (cheap bread and just boring). We really wanted to like this place, but can't say that we'd return. read more

HUGE shoutout to Ms. Stephanie for being a gem! She made our visit worth the time and offered some great food recommendations. Ambiance: I LOVE the concept behind this restaurant! The walls are covered in license plates from each state and the tables are covered with a fun paper cover to use for your delicious complimentary roasted peanuts. Drinks: - The River City Bullfrog: vodka and pink lemonade - High Tide Tea: Firefly sweet tea vodka and sweet tea. - House Sweet tea I would say that the alcoholic drinks were my least favorites because they weren't tasty and the Juices overpowered the beverage, throwing off the flavor. Now, the house sweet tea...BABY! That was some good ol Southern sweet tea and I was craving more of it the next day. Food: My boyfriend and I both had the R.C Burger-homemade Texas chili, jalapeños, hickory smoked bacon, sautéed fresh mushrooms, Swiss and cheddar (menu description) GIVE ME THIS ANYTIME! Babyyyyyyyyyyy this burger was JUICY and it belongs in the food hall of fame for delivering a punch of flavorful goodness in each bite. His review: his burger was succulent, extremely juicy, the jalapeños were not overpowering, a little messy with all of the toppings but enjoyable, nonetheless! We paired the burger with shared fries which were crispy and golden brown. No dessert! Who could eat anything else after that filling meal. This place is great for late night eats and is cost-affordable. If you stop by, look for Ms. Stephanie, her service will make your day even more special. read more

We had lunch on a Saturday and it was not too busy. Parking lot is kinda small if driving a big truck or SUV. We were able to get backed in after a little maneuvering. We walked up and greeted promptly. We were take. To a seat. Our Waitress took some time to come over. We order onion ring apps and 2 burgers. I asked for a hamburger as I do not like cheeseburgers. When mine came out it looks like they forgot and added cheese then scraped it off. I took 2 bites and my stomach turned from the cheese. I took it apart and yep there was the cheese remnants. That is horrible what if I had a dairy allergy?? The Hubby said his was ok. The burger was the frozen/prepackaged style that lacked flavor from the bites I ate it was just bland. Overall it was not the way we remember from years ago. We use to eat at River City several times during our stay, but definitely not this time. read more

Went here on Wednesday September 25th 2024 with my family as part of our South Carolina Vacation. We needed a bite to eat before heading to the nearby alabama theatre to see the show there. We decided on here because they have a patio by the water. We were greeted and immediately taken to a table. We wanted to sit by the water, and the host sat us near the water and sort of near people. luckily we were able to move and have a server know where we are. We sat down, table was a bit, dirty as it had lettuce spilled on the bench of the table, but i took a napkin and cleaned it. Our server came, and was very nice. He made sure to check on us, and make us happy. He even refilled my dr. pepper without me asking! We got 4 waters, i got a dr. pepper, and a peer punch. They also have cocktails like mixed drinks and margeritas. So the menu is much of burgers, sandwiches and a few salads. It sort of reminded me of a Red Robin because they had plenty of speciality burgers. For appetizers, we got boneless bbq wings no sauce, the bbq on the side, and fried zucchini. The Fried Zucchini i very much enjoyed, as well as the wings. For entrees, I got the Nacho Burger with sweet potato fries and coleslaw, my dad got the philly burger with onion rings and coleslaw, my mom got the bacon crunch burger with fries and coleslaw, and my aunt got a regular burger with fries and coleslaw, and she also had my coleslaw as i didn't like it. I'm like that with any coleslaw though. I thought the Nacho Burger turned out delicious and was very enjoyable, and stuffed with chips. My dad wasn't a big fan of his, but ate it all, as did the others. Check came in a timely manner, paid via credit card and left a cash tip. Also outside didn't have any peanuts on the floor. just an FYI. Hope to be back another time! read more

Let me start by saying i went in and ordered to go. I called about 3 times, they Never answer the phone. I sat at the bar while my food was made. Maybe 25 mins. The service almost had me leave before i ordered. Took maybe 5mins to notice my 6'5 self standing there while making awkward eye contact with random servers. Someone finally took my order. Server was very nice. In fact everyone was once they spoke to you. With all of that being said. I'd give this place more stars if I could the cooks were an absolute vibe! Music going everyone cheerful and grinding out food. I ordered the blackened Mahi sandwhich with fries and Cole slaw (had raisins in it?) everything was beyond great. I knew it would lookijg at the main cook. My boy was organized and had this food seasoned properly. He earned this 5. We also got the bacon burger and my 9 yr old who won't finish a mcdouble ate the whole thing and said it was the best tasting burger she's had. I was disappointed in most food in the area but this place was a huge bright spot. read more

We have been coming here for years today was the worst service we had ever had. Our waiters name was Buck, he seated us, took our order brought us. Our food never came back to check on us and never came back to refill our tea. I had to go up to the register to get a T refill, and when I did, he hand me my checkout receipt that is the rudest thing ever that you're that lazy you cannot come to my table and then when we did go up there to check out, the other waitress could not get his attention because he was continuously talking and eating french fries. I talked to the manager and told him that we did not have a good experience. It was the worst service we had ever had. My daughter is a waitress and we tip very well and I was not giving him a tip so if you do go here, sit in someone else's section. read more
