    Old School casual interior
    Ana S.

    Casual place serving DELICIOUS All American Fare at a descent cost. The food is fresh and the service is great. Worth to stop by at this local GEM!

    Foot long chili dog all the way.

    Best hot dog in SC. They have burgers as well but you have to get a hot dog if you haven't ever had one from here. Old school diner feel. Serves alcohol.

    Cheese Fries
    Adrian M.

    Sam's is a true diner experience conveniently located on the corner of the main drive into the beach. Grab a fork because the cheese fries are smothered in the best way possible. Fries always dropping fresh in the oil. Burgers perfectly seared on the flat top right behind the counter. You can't come to this part of Murrells Inlet and leave without getting some grub at Sam's Corner!

    Footlong Hot Dog Chili-Cheese Fries
    Tony J.

    Service was fantastic, food was delivered quickly. Fries were deep fried crispy fries, kind of what you'd expect. Not my fav. The chili dog was fantastic. Super fresh and hot and the chilli complements well. It's not too over powering with chilli powder. In Birmingham, AL that's just special sauce. I enjoyed and I'll grab another before I leave town. If you like mustard like I do get you a pack or two to add. As advertised great chilli dog!

    Bacon cheese burger and a cheerwine

    Sam's is always a highlight of our visit to the beach!! The service is quick and orders are accurate. They have a wide selection of burgers and hot dogs that appease every appetite in our large group. Parking can be hard to find on the street but they have a pay lot adjacent to the building.

    Bologna sandwich

    Had to go back, my third visit in four days. I can't give Rosco enough praise. He knows his way around the grill and everything tastes great. Want to share this. Watched a bottle of ketchup fall and instead of picking it up and contaminating his food handling gloves, he asked someone to pick it up and get a new one. Great job of keeping the public safe. Had the fried bologna sandwich and it is as advertised. Delicious!

    If you are looking for a 5 Star restaurant, this is not for you. If you are looking for great Hamburgers, Hotdogs or other beach food, this is the place for you. I hate to admit it, but I have been coming here since 1976. The burgers and fries are awesome and the beer is cold. There is a limit supply of mini bottles, but not on Sunday. Highly recommend Sam's Corner!

    Onion Rings
    J S.

    Sam's Corner is exactly what you want when craving a salty greasy cheesy oniony savory grilled tasty munchie beach meal!! Highly recommend the patty melt and onion rings. French fries aren't my favorite but I know others enjoy them, I prefer a crunchy fry and theirs are rather soft. Might be some my favorite onion rings because they don't fall apart when you bite into them. $5 White Russians, too, my goodness. I look forward to eating here every year for our vacation week. Clean, friendly, and fun - this place is iconic.

    Since 1976, Sam's has been serving some awesome hot dogs (chili, onion, and mustard). But I have to admit, we like to try all of their offerings. I have fallen in love with their Fried Bologna sandwich. It's about an inch thick and deep fried perfectly. Served with tomato and lettuce. Absolutely delicious! My wife enjoys their footlong corn dogs, and we love their chili cheese fries. But maybe the best item they serve?? The $5 White Russians! They taste great!! Give this place a try when you're in Garden City, you will not be disappointed!

    The grilled chicken salad... $7 for 1/4 cup of lettuce, a cut up tomato slice, dill pickle rounds and a cut up chicken breast.

    We came here bc there are limited restaurants in the area and our family was overdue for lunch. My son had a corn dog, my daughter and I had cheeseburgers (they were out of bacon), and 2 orders of fries. My husband can't have gluten so he ordered their grilled chicken salad (which he normally does when we can't order gluten free buns, it's not a huge deal... we make it work) The reason I'm taking the time to write this review is that the salad was absolutely pathetic and it cost $7!! It was maybe a 1/4 cup of lettuce, a cut up tomato slice, some grilled chicken and pickles?!?! I've never had a salad where it included dill pickles rounds and had so little lettuce!! Oooo and we had to ask for salad dressing?!? Burgers were ok, frozen patties cooked on the grill. Corn dog wasn't anything special. And the fries.... over cooked, some complete inedible and no seasoning (not even salt) on the fries. The sign outside says "world famous hotdogs"... I doubt that after having what we had. Also there was no hand soap in the restrooms. Lastly, an employee in the kitchen area cursed in front of our kids, not to our kids... but was having a loud conversation with a friend and said it, like it was a normal word.... while our kids and other children were around him.

    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.

    Pimento cheese burger wasn't great, but hot dogs were good. You get what you expect there.

    It was good but I've seen better. Took $40 to pay for my brother me and my mama and daddy. Like I said I've seen better.

    Went tonight to the one place I always have to visit when I come to town to visit family…read more This restaurant is so cute, hidden away on Surfside drive you could easily miss it but what a mistake that would be The staff and owner are always so welcoming. They are attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu and can give you good advice on all the amazing food. Tonight they had three amazing specials and I decided to try the lamb. It has to be the best lamb I have ever tasted Cooked by the owner it was five good sized lamb lollipops cooked perfectly and serve with amazing fresh green beans with roasted potato that just melted in your mouth At his suggestion I also got a side of pasta and as he suggested it also went so well with the lamb I have never come and not had an amazing meal and wonderful service if you love good Italian and amazing specials run don't walk to check them out you will not be sorry and I am counting the days till I come back in November

    Visited Malibu while on vacation with friends. I was looking forward to an authentic Italian meal…read morebased on previous reviews. Service was slow and inconsistent. The best part was the owner's visits to the table. He would describe dishes that made you hungry. We ordered (at his recommendation) the eggplant parm, a fish dish and a shrimp scampi. The fish and shrimp were delicious but the eggplant that two of us ordered was not edible. The owner visited at the end of our meal where we shared the bad news about the eggplant dishes. He was very concerned that we had not had a good meal. He offered to cook up something else to make us happy. Of course we refused. He comped both of the eggplant dishes! He didn't have to do that but we appreciated it. Although this place was a disappointment, the owner's enthusiasm and commitment to great service and good food will bring us back for another try.
