What a cool place. Visiting the area and stopped in today for a quick lunch. The food was really good, the service was good, and we didn't wait long for our food. It took our waiter a little long to come back for our order after we put in our appetizer, but other than that I can't complain. read more

We had a great experience at Grumpy Monk! There's tons of parking, which is always a plus, and there are both indoor and outdoor seating options. Inside, the space is really open with lots of TVs, so you won't miss a game no matter where you're sitting. Everything was super clean, which we definitely noticed and appreciated. The staff struck were attentive and friendly without hovering. Their draft selection is excellent, with plenty of options to choose from. As for the food, everything came out exactly as ordered, tasted delicious, and the portions were huge. Prices were very reasonable for the quality and amount of food. Definitely worth checking out...we'll absolutely be back!!! read more

Way, way, way too loud in here. The open floor plan made me feel like we were eating in a high school cafeteria. Wasn't impressed with the food service. The waitress we had was fine but the food servers just stood at one end of the table and handed everything to me and then I had to hand it all off to the other 6 people in our party. What are we tipping for then? Should I just be the food runner myself? That's what it felt like. Prices here used to be way, way, way better. Every time I come here they've raised prices again. No real value here and their craft beers are definitely overpriced. No need to add to the noise by having a guitar player singer guy in the corner either. The buffalo mac and cheese was ridiculously soupy. I should've sent it back. I miss the Grumpy Monk from 5 years ago. read more

On vacation from Alabama, my family was on a mission: custom airbrushed t-shirts. We found our prize at Broadway, and just as we finalized our designs, the collective stomach growls of three hangry children reached DEFCON 1. Fortunately, Grumpy Monk was right next door, and the doors were open. A literal lifesaver. It was early for lunch on a Thursday, so the place was calm--which is ideal when you're rolling in with a toddler who's one cracker away from a full meltdown. Our server deserves a medal. She took our order while Sadie was mid-scream and even brought out a bowl of strawberries to help tame the tiny beast. Hero move. Our son went with the classic grilled cheese and applesauce (approved), and the girls split mac 'n cheese and those now-sacred strawberries. The food came out quickly--so quickly, in fact, I only managed one sad photo of the mac before the chaos resumed. I ordered a French 75 martini (yes, please) and my husband tried a mystery draft beer ("dealer's choice" style). Drinks were solid. No notes. The food, however... well, let's just say the "Funky Irishman" was more funky than function. The corned beef was so tough I couldn't bite through it. I'm not one to send things back, but this was unchewable. They kindly let me swap it for a buffalo grilled chicken sandwich. It was edible, but between the blackened seasoning, buffalo sauce, and ranch, it was sodium overload. My husband's Cali Grilled Cheese was basically a BLT in disguise. Tasty? Sure. But grilled cheese it was not. Once we made the sandwich switcheroo, things settled down. Overall, it wasn't terrible--but not exactly a $120 lunch, either. Then again, such is the cost of feeding a family in a tourist hotspot. TL;DR: Kid-friendly, solid service, strong drinks. Food? Meh. But if you're already at Broadway with hangry littles, it gets the job done. read more

Food was ok I felt overpriced for what it was. Service was slow and getting our food took forever. They had to come back and ask us what we ordered. Nothing great to bring me back here. read more

Went here on Saturday February 22nd 2026 with my parents and a few friends as a party of 9. Walked in, and then was greeted by a smiling host who sat us at a half table/half booth near the kitchen. We all sat down and were comfortable. Our server greeted us right away and started us with drinks, as I ordered a pepsi. Others ordered some soda, water, and beers. We ordered some appetizers like the pretzel, and Southwestern Spring Eggrolls. The pretzel was soft and delicious and loved the beer cheese sauce! So were the Southwestern spring eggrolls! For entrees, I got The Spicy Tuna Roll Sushi with a side of Fries. My parents ordered burgers, both with salads and cooked Medium. others had a mix of burgers and salads. Oh and the salad portions are big- my friend had a big bowl of salad! I enjoyed my spicy tuna roll! Server accomodated us, checked on us, and accomodated our separate checks. . Also used the restroom this visit, and it was clean. be forewarned though it only has 3 stalls and is small. Got our checks, and paid with a credit card. This place also charges a fee for a credit card. left a cash tip. Hope to be back soon! read more

Didn't go lately the service is always slow. The food is a little overcooked. I don't think I'll go back anytime soon, but I will try it at one point or another maybe in about another month. read more

Always have great visits at the Carolina Forest location. I typically sit at the bar or in the bar area and the bartenders are never too busy to be friendly or answer questions. Great food and drinks and fair prices stands out, also! read more

The food here is so very good. The fries are the best we have had in a very long time. The wait staff was super friendly and helpful when asking questions about the menu. Food came out hot and fast. read more

Ok disclaimer I was ticked because the awesome name and a great menu on line but once we got there the menu was different. I had something picked out that didn't make the cut. Service was only mediocre as we had to ask for refills. He checked on the beer but not rhetorical water and teas. The maple glazed salmon was dirt and overdone. Cool interior and a great concept. Fix the staff and go back to the old menu and I am my try it again. read more

We come here every time we visit MB. Just went there and service was super slow. We arrived at 6 and it took 1.5 hours for my party of 3 to get our food. When food arrived 80% of it was not hot. Waiter didn't even come back to check to see if everything was OK after it was brought out. We were given 3 different excuses as to why it took so long while everyone around us got their food. Ultimately the manager said she believes the food was put in late. Manager was asked twice to come to our table and when she finally got there she threw her host and server under the bus as to blame. (We never should have been seated we should have been on a wait and your server put your order in late.) She comped our meal only 15% which is a joke, a whole $9. We will never be back & will not recommend. Anyone in the service business knows this is unacceptable. Be accountable and don't lie as to what's going on in the kitchen. Most people would be understanding if your kitchen is backed up but it made no sense that everyone around us and large groups were getting their food. The manager really left a bad impression with us. She just made the situation even worse. She was the manager in charge and certainly not accountable. She didn't even come back to our table to say, hey, I've taken off 15% and apologize for the situation. Anyways, go at your own risk. Be prepared to wait and if you have any problems it's not even worth letting them know. They are not accountable. read more

Servers are attentive. Stater foods are good for a quick bite. Standard interior nothing to write home about. Plenty of parking.

THE BAREFOOT LANDING LOCACATION. IS the worst...the burger I got looked and tasted like a Swanson frozen dimmer. The bathroom was filth. Every server looked like they needed a shower. The shrimp was fishy. The food was so bad. read more

I had the mushroom and Swiss burger. It was amazing! My first time there but not my last!,

My sushi was delish. Fam ordered a burger, BBQ salmon, grilled chicken, they were all delish! Great beer selection too! Will go again!

My wife and I enjoy the relaxed atmosphere at the Monk. Tyler was very attentive and we got our orders filled quickly, along with our glasses. The food was really good, surprisingly good for a bar. We go to places where we feel like we are given great service by friendly people, and Grumpy Monk is that place. Especially if you have Tyler as your bartender! read more

The young lady who came a brought our food was very professional and friendly. Her name was Bri, she had a wonderful smile and personality. Nice to see young lady trying to make a difference!! read more

Golf buddies and I went to this restaurant after our round. We spent a total of 1.75 hours after being seated before we finished. Food when finally delivered was cold and seemed thrown together. A simple club sandwich was forgotten about and was delivered to the table well after the rest of us had been served. On a good note, they did comp this order, but overall experience was not a good one. read more

We have been there off season (snowbird) Chicken fingers , buffalo chicken dip and pork slides are our go to. Especially for happy hour. Salads are good sized as well. Service is average. Family / bar atmosphere. 8 out of 10. It is one of regular go to spots. read more

Food was okay. Compared to other local businesses this was a 3.5. Menu needs more variety and execution.

Stood waiting for someone to seat us for 7min. NO ONE even approached us saying we'll be w/you. We looked around & noticed with about 70% of tables filled NOT ONE PERSON had a meal. We walked out. read more

The food was not good. Fried green tomatoes were SUPER salty. The Reuben sandwich wasn't warm, bland. The California grilled cheese was mushy. The fries taste old, like the oil used to fry them is old. Not worth what we paid $45 read more

Way too bright inside here. My partner and I did like all the sports on the monitors, but we didn't come here to watch TV. Although we both ordered sushi rolls...mine came out 10 minutes before my partners and there was no explanation for it. Really? Also there wasn't any other desserts than the silly ice cream cones...who is going to eat all these cones? Please! read more

Great service and large portions - one of the better values in Myrtle Beach. Will definitely return!

We were on a golf trip and wanted to get out so tried the Monk. Over all it was very good. We sat at the bar talked to the locals, they were all very nice and had great recommendations. If you are on a golf trip make sure you leave the condos and take in local food! I had the fish sandwich and it was cooked very well and crispy. If you are offended by bones don't get it.... I am not so loved it. read more

Food was good burger done right good Cole slaw Fish tacos good fries good salad good. Went in after the lunch rush plenty of open tables. plenty of tv sports on that was ok. Our drink orders were taken right away got water pretty soon waited for the drinks. Waited for the food. I didn't expect to blow an hour and a half for lunch. Recap good food slow service. read more

The hostess was bitter, this isn't Dicks last resort, drop the attitude. I ordered a side of French fries and was charged an additional $.50 for this addition. Why???? Open food charge is a scam, no worries, I cut my tip by a dollar just because of the bs charge! read more

Visiting Myrtle Beach and this restaurant was in the same lot as our hotel. The food was ok , a bit pricey but it was tourist season in MB. The staff on the other hand is great, they seemed a bit overwhelmed and understaffed but what place isn't these days? They did not let that interfere with their welcoming everyone and trying to make the visit enjoyable. read more

Went to the Broadway at the Beach restaurant, but they are all great! Love sitting at the outdoor tables! Food is good - my daughter likes to make her own salads as they are huge!!!! We are frequent flyers - we hit it up every time we come to MB!!! read more

I've only been here twice because I try to avoid this area in Myrtle Beach because of the insane traffic in the Carolina Pines section of RT 501. The restaurant and bar have funny signs hanging on the walls and the place has a fun feel to it. The servers have always been friendly and efficient. They fall short with their food though. At least what I've tried here. This last time, I had an Atlantic Flounder Sandwich which wasn't seasoned very well. The bread and lettuce basically took over the entire sandwich and the fish played second fiddle. I probably won't come back here for lunch but I'd definitely come back for a few beers. read more
