    If you're looking for good breakfast and lunch options during breakfast hours, this is a place to go. Lunch options available for those that aren't a fan of breakfast options we enjoyed everything we tried!

    Side of grits.
    Joelle C.

    We have been past Sam's Place numerous times and decided to stop in to grab some brunch. It was a full house when we got there but didn't have much of a wait until we were seated. Service started out good but once our food arrived we didn't see our server until we received the check. It wasn't a big issue as we didn't need anything, but would have been nice if she had stopped by just to check on us. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with a side of grits. The eggs Benedict was really good. The eggs were poached perfectly and the hollandaise sauce was very creamy and seasoned well. The grits were very good with the right consistency for me (not runny but not like wallpaper paste). Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and would order it again. The hubs got the sausage and cheese omelette with grits and toast. You can get 2 pancakes instead of the toast but since he is very picky with his pancakes, he played it safe. He enjoyed his omelette but said he has had better grits. Overall, he said his meal was decent but wouldn't get the grits next time. We will definitely check this place out again but will order from the lunch side of the menu.

    Great food and service. We had a late breakfast. We both had a Western Omelette, grits and pancakes. It was just enough portion wise and great. We were seated right away and food came out fast even though they were busy.

    We were leaving North Myrtle Beach and needed breakfast. We were riding down 17 and saw Sam's Place so we made a U-Turn. I checked Yelp and saw they had good reviews so it was a no-brainer. First, the diner is small. But it's clean. There are a few tables and you can actually see the food being cooked. The staff had on masks but not the patrons. But being form Maryland we realized that South Carolina is way more laxed with the masks than we are. Anyway, Whoever was working the morning of Sunday, August 2nd, 2020 made sure that everything was running smoothly. The woman who took out order was friendly and patient while we looked over the menu. She answered our questions. I ordered a kids silver dollar pancake (4) and added a side of bacon. My boyfriend had the veggie omelette with cheese, bacon, toast, and grits. We both got sweet tea. The total was $18. Not bad. The good was cooked and ready super fast. Pancakes were fluffy and buttery. Bacon was great. Omelette and grits were good as well. No complaints. Thanks Sam's Place!

    Ham AND Turkey Club
    Charles W.

    Almost committed the cardinal sin of showing up too late for a 6-2 place. I mean, no matter what your hours are, no matter what the hell you do, if you are getting off at 2, you don't need some joker walking in at 1:50 wanting service. I mean your shit is tired. I stepped into Sam's Place at 1:15. And to Sam's credit and both servers, no one gave me the stink-eye or the deadpan look of death. I ordered the Ham AND Turkey Club--because you can get just ham or just turkey. The mayo was understated so I didn't have to use a ream of napkins and the tomatos were FRESH. Holy Smokes! A bright red wedge of 'mater on each triangle of toasted bliss surprised me more than my server calling me "sugar", "sweetheart", and "honey". Actually, I wasn't all that surprised to be called those endearing names. Wouldn't you tip generously if someone called you "sugar"? I sure did. Place was packed, service was exceptional--these folks know their bidness. My server said, when I asked what she would do when she got off, "I'm going home, sit in my chair, and watch movies." Sounds like a plan.

    Joe's Bar & Grill is an absolute favorite of my father-in-law and his wife, so we've been here…read moreseveral times over the years. They always want to sit in the Raccoon Cove bar out back, which has a great fireplace for cold nights and a food stand that brings the local raccoons by for dinner. You can also watch them from the sunroom-style dining room if you'd rather stay inside. The indoor decor is fun too (Ace Ventura would call it a lovely room of death) with all the animal trophies on the walls. The pork ribeye over sweet potato mash isn't going to win any beauty contests, but don't judge that book by its cover because it was very tender and delicious. It's definitely a new favorite! The Steak Au Poivre is another one with a sauce that elevated an already well-cooked (but not well-done!) steak. My wife's Seafood Alfredo was wonderful, including the bites she let me steal, and the Lowcountry chowder was excellent. Her other favorites are the Filet Neptune and the Mahi-Mahi. The Thai BBQ ribs are also a big hit with the family, but somehow I still haven't gotten to try one. Next time. This is the "good" Joe's. They don't serve hamburgers here, but they do know how to cook a steak. The food is excellent, the service has always been good, and they've nailed the local upscale-casual restaurant and bar vibe. The only real downside is the tiny parking lot. You can park at the ice cream place too (overflow lot), but Joe really needs to make friends with the beachwear megastore next door because their back lot always seems to have plenty of empty spaces!

We each got the Mama Todd's dinner plate. Loved everything on it, & I asked for sweet butter to slather on my cornbread + half and half of the Sweet Tea. I also got the Lima beans and mac and cheese for the side. Service was pretty quick for a party of five, and we were seated within 20-30 min at most. Grabbed a Pinot Grigio and a beer at the side bar while we waited. They brought out hush puppies when we sat down, & those lasted about 30 seconds at our table :) The staff was simply wonderful; We also asked the hostess to help us take a family pic outside before we left. They have a cute shop where you can pick up a t-shirt as a souvenir- which I had to do because I LOVE THIS PLACE. If this was close to me, I would eat here every weekend. The prices are reasonable, the food is wonderful, and the staff was kind and hospitable. There are many places to eat in Myrtle Beach, but we love supporting local businesses that are family owned. If you're craving fried chicken or country fried steak with all the fixin' on the side, look no further. Fantastic place for locals and tourists. Cheers

Get the corn bread! It's so tasty! Service was good, and the restaurant was busy.

When my food arrived, I found a bug on my plate. After bringing it to Karen's attention, I overheard her say under her breath, "Oh well, it won't be deducted from your tab." That response alone was shocking and unprofessional. I immediately asked to speak with the manager. Rather than addressing the situation appropriately, he told me there was nothing he could do. They took my plate away without explaining anything, and the manager was not willing to remove the item from my bill or offer a refund. The only reason the issue was taken seriously at all was because I had photo and video proof showing the bug on my food. The service was unprofessional, the issue was handled poorly, and there seemed to be very little concern for customer satisfaction. Based on my experience, I would not recommend coming here.
