Another must visit every year during our stay in MB. Its a classic diner/dive right on the ocean. The footlong coney is awesome! Great flavors and decent price. They have many other items to choose from, but to be honest I always just get the foot long. Its perfect on a hot summer day. Give them a shot. Plus....they serve booze! read more

Sam's Corner - American Near Me - Murrells Inlet, South Carolina

Best Hot dog fries and cold beer ever! Grew up going here and visited again on vacation last week. Things are different since they are only seating outside but the fries are perfect the hot dogs tasty and the beer cold. You might be lucky enough to meet Sam on the porch! read more

Good food, from past experiences, serving sizes got smaller. Easy to order and big selection of food. Tasty hotdogs and fries! Great experience read more

Sam's Corner - Footlong corndog! - American Near Me - Murrells Inlet, South Carolina

Not sure what all the hype is about this place. I could have gotten a better burger at Sonic for half the price. There was nothing special about it--a basic 1/4" thick patty with lettuce, tomato and cheese for 12.95? My wife got chili cheese jalapeño fries and they were swimming in fake cheese sauce like they use on nachos. Skip it, there are definitely better burgers to be had in the area. read more

Good lunch spot for cheap while hanging on the beach. Burgers, dogs, fries. Better than fast food but not quite diner quality food.

Traditional beach fare, dogs and burgers. Cash only. Greasiest onion rings ever. And Nehi. Always open. read more

Sam's Corner - American Near Me - Murrells Inlet, South Carolina

I'd probably just skip it if you can. I'm all for a dive-y place but this place was so busy I waited for 45 minutes and the food was not anything great. It didn't make me sick, but other than that, I would not recommend. read more

Love this place! The Foot long Coney with onions and mustard is the go to. Onion rings were a nice addition. I drowned the shit out of my fries in some malt vinegar, add American Psycho scene via ketchup and abracadabra...you're in bizness. read more

Absolutely love this place. Best customer service ever, food is awesome & perfect location right across from the beach with plenty of outdoor seating. Keke has such a great personality & always goes above & beyond for her customers. The owner - he's a hoot! Always got a smile on his face that contagiously spreads to yours!! They make you feel like family, not just another customer. Love them!! read more

Anyplace that deep fries their footlong hotdogs is a 5 star joint! Great chili on top too.

Let me start by saying I wish I could give this establishment NO STARS. Very unpleasant experience. The bald guy with the glasses was very pushy and strange. He offered us drinks as if they were free. Then, he was pushy about us ordering when it was obvious that we weren't ready. I wanted a crab cake sandwich (I'm pescatarian) that they didn't have and he got an attitude that my boyfriend and I didn't want to eat there for that reason. I couldn't eat anything else on the menu so I wasn't going to eat there! He then dropped the bomb that we have to pay for the drinks. I should've put them back on the counter or thrown them and walked out. I will never come back. This was the ONLY bad experience we had with the area. He was horrible and reading other reviews this is not the first time he's pissed someone off. HE WILL BE THE REASON THIS PLACE GOES UNDER. read more

Always friendly service! Great place to grab a hotdog or some mozzerella sticks! Also they have beer on tap and small bottles of liquor as a plus! read more

Sign says 24/7 but when we showed up at 11:45pm the workers laughed at us and said "sign worked didn't it!?". Good marketing guys. Don't be fooled. read more

I've been going to this place since I was a kid. As any local can tell you, this is the diner to go to if you're out late and need something greasy to soak up the alcohol! Surprisingly, they have a mini bottle bar and beers, so you can continue your drinking fun if you like :) I highly recommend the foot long corndog or any breakfast dish (haven't tried the steak and eggs though). My hubby loves the foot long hotdog. Everyone loves the fries and burgers, of course. This location is also wonderful because it's across the street from the beach, Garden City Pier and Painter's Ice Cream, and right next door to an arcade and on the general strip of businesses. There are benches out front that you can sit on, overlooking the busy intersection. The staff are generally older, "been around" folk who are fun to chat with and there's a couple arcade games in both of their locations. Oh, did I forget to mention that? There's another one of these babies on Hwy 17 heading south from the one in Garden City, in Pawleys Island, SC, and it's just as great! read more

Gross bathrooms, 55 cents for refills, no napkins anywhere. It's very tight inside. There's a fish tank which kids like I suppose. Burgers, fries, hot dogs, onion rings. It all tasted pretty good. Not worth the price though. read more

Open 24/7! 5¢ Coffee!! LOVE This Place - $cheap *FYI-Cash Only... read more

Right off the beach, across the street from the Garden City Pier, lies Sam 's Corner. This is a place where you order at the register and they call your number when your food is ready. This was kind of disastrous, since the line was pretty long and there isn't a good place for people to queue up. The restaurant is pretty scuzzy, if that is even a word, but I suppose that adds to the mystique of the place. This is a great spot for people watching. I had fun soaking up some "local color" while we waited for our food. People even walked into the restaurant barefoot because apparently putting on flip flops takes too much effort. I had the pimento cheese hamburger, which was a really good calorie bomb. It was the perfect ending to a day on the beach drinking Coors Light. They are open 24 hours a day and apparently they serve some sort of breakfast. Not sure if I will ever make it here while completely sober to experience breakfast first hand. I would like to come back and try the French fries, the true bench mark for a place of this caliber. read more

Caveat emptor. The staff at this place don't have to try very hard to keep customers, and they know it. They only get repeat business because of their location and being open 24/7, but be warned. If you decide that you're hungry when they don't feel like working, then you will not get served. If you decide to order something that they don't feel like cooking, you're going to catch grief about it, or they may simply refuse to take the order. It is convenient, slightly quick food, but over priced, bland, and often way overcooked. I haven't had a dog here in years, but from what I remember you can make them better at home. That's why I always get a burger when I go in. However, Greg does not like to make burgers. You see Greg is one of the cooks there who happened to ring me up on two visits over the past week, but he got real bitchy when I ordered a Swiss Burger and an Ocean Burger. So I recommend that anyone who decides to eat at Sam's Corner should get a burger, just watch to make sure they don't duck behind the counter to spit in it out of spite. I honestly don't know what their issue is with making burgers, but they should really take them off of the menu if it's going to cause such an uproar. The only reason I'd even go back to this place is to order a couple more burgers out of spite. read more

Pretty cool little joint. Food was good, staff was nice, environment is great. On the corner right by the pier, seating outside to enjoy the crowd. It's also opened 24 hours! read more

While my boyfriend & I were on vacation in Myrtle Beach we stayed at the Water's Edge Resort. Not being from the area we were looking for cool places to eat with good food and came upon this little hot dog joint beside our hotel. I am a hot dog fanatic and this dog was amazing!! My boyfriend got the chili cheese dog which I of course had to try and it was surprisingly really good! This place has like a diner feel reminded me of the Varsity here in ATL but way better food :) read more

SO much nostalgia with this place -- have been going here every summer for more years than I'd like ot admit. Food is average to above average -- good dogs, great onion rings, good burgers -- never had anything bad here. read more

Glorified hot dog stand - also serves burgers (good too), breakfast (never tried it) and draft beer. Think they also tune up basic cocktails. Visited here as the Pawley's Island location has closed. This location has more of a Jersey shore (the PLACE, not the gawdawful TV show) cheesy beach town kind of ambience - so if you like that, BAM! Here you go. Tip: Don't get a foot long chili dog. Get two regular dogs instead. More dog, more chili that way. read more

Staying in Garden City, we passed by this place every time we came or went. It looked like a nice diner/dive location with just the right amount of gaudiness. The exterior had a dining area raised above the road and signs on the sides of the building advertised different dishes. It was the sign for the shrimp burger that sent us there for lunch. It turns out however that they don't even have half those items anymore as the guy at the counter told us (referring to what is advertised outside). He offered us an up to date menu, as the one online still lists everything, and the menu was covered with grease and who knows what else. We went somewhere else for lunch. Terribly disappointing. read more

Favorite local spot. Can't beat the dogs or the service!! Employees are local and the dogs are fast off the grill. Locals and tourists alike love this spot! read more

I loved the appearance of this place from the outside as it reminded me of simpler times and had a classic feel to it. Once I went inside, it was even better! I could get a long hotdog and a beer right outside the beach. It was like a hidden classic America. Imagine coney island without the russia. Classic. --$.05 Coffee is no joke --$2.50 Screw drivers plus other booze read more

Breakfast near the beach in January? Yep! This little place has it. I was looking for a hot cup of Joe and some bacon n' eggs. Found it! Sam's has a diner bar, perfect for one. The regular locals who frequent the place and the breakfast chef behind the counter add a lot of character to the meal, and the Texas Pete hot sauce on my western omelette was just like home. If you're looking for a nice greasy spoon diner to take you back to the good old days with a unique location across the street from the Atlantic ocean, look no further! read more

I am only giving it three stars, but the truth is that I go there a lot. Why? Because I don't always need the most amazing burger or eggs or biscuit ever. Sometimes reliable mediocrity is all you need. My grandma used to take me to the beach to watch the sunrise then we would eat at Sam's Corner. Their food tastes great at the crack of dawn and even better in off season. (The definition of off season is as follows: the time when tourists are least likely to appear.) I suggest getting anything off the breakfast menu and the pimento cheese burger. In my opinion those are the best things on their incredibly extensive menu. read more

Staff friendly. Only ones there for breakfast. Bacon cold, hash browns were honestly horrible. read more

Delicious food for a quick lunch. Good value, good food, and super good service. Had a very good chili dog and chili cheese fries. Super friendly staff. Woman doing all of the cooking was extremely friendly. Would recommend! read more

Stopped here for breakfast this morning...we are locals and we're headed to the beach....very pricey and food was so so....could have had much better bacon egg and cheese sandwiches anywhere else for same price or cheaper....was not impressed with their breakfast read more

First impression while walking in was disgust because the restaurant smelled like pure body odor. We decided to order any way thinking it was probably just the guests who were there. Ordered a Swiss burger, plain hotdog, hotdog all the way and two sides of fries. Took over 30 minutes to get our food. My husband's burger looked decent but mine and my daughter's hotdogs & fries were cold. I will say the chili on my hotdog was tasty, I was just very disappointed that it was cold. I was not impressed after hearing many good things about this place. I'd be willing to try it again given that the employees taking orders were very nice, but I was just let down tonight. read more

Popped in to sample the Hot Dogs, ordered the footling with chili, mustard, onion and slaw. Delicious dog, the bun was slightly toasted and fresh. Great chili too. I will be back to try their burger. read more

Went to Sam's on a whim!!! And I was very surprised by how friendly the people were. And how good the food was. I had the footloong Hotdog w/ chill and onions!!! And I must say it was great!!! The chill was good w/ fresh onions and the Hotdog was cooked to perfection!!! I also ordered the Onion rings that were golden brown with a beautiful crunchy coating on them!!! I will definitely be returning to Sam's before I head Back to Anderson, IN read more

Sam's has always been one of our favorite places to go and get a simple meal at a simple price. The staff are always friendly and fast. The food is delicious! The location is ideal to everything Garden City has to offer. read more

Went to Sam's during an early morning walk and I'm so glad I did! Don't judge a book by its cover; the restaurant may not look like much on the inside or out, but inside you will find great customer service, hot coffee and the best southern ham biscuit! I turned my whole family onto Sam's. When we visit NMB every summer, my Dad and I walk each morning and the ham biscuits are our breakfast treat. read more

If you are out late and want an amazing burger you have to go to Sams. They even have a fried bologna sandwich. With the night scene in Myrtle Beach often going late into the night, this is the place to go to feed your appetite. read more

Sam's Corner is a great spot for a quick bite and some good laughs. Mark is such a quick witted, super welcoming host. He had us laughing and drinking and just having a great time! Micheal was also great. We had hot dogs and $2.50 screwdrivers. I hear that the bologna sandwich is tasty as well. I am visiting from California... Mark and Sam's Corner made me feel right at home and wanting to come back. read more

Great breakfast. Friendly staff. Fun place to go when we're on vacation.

Diner food. Very average vs many diners I have tried. Staff is not exactly rude but they don't smile much and are not overly friendly.

Well the location is okay. It's kind of cramped, worn, and could use a scrubbing. Food was so-so. Nothing to write home about. Three burgers a corn dog and four fries and drinks came to $43.00. No value there. And to add insult to expense they charge .50 for refills. read more
