I've been driving by this spot for years and it's always been packed... not regular packed but people parked in the street and the road trying to get in packed. This Thursday I was heading up with the wife to buy some fish and we decided to go for it. Of course there was zero parking with a parade of cars in the parking lot waiting to pick up food, when my wife noticed a pick up truck right in front of the place about to exit. She sped right next to the spot and jumped in before anyone realized it. We're in...or so I thought. We strolled up and there were about 35 people sitting on benches and rocking chairs under a tent right in front of the place all waiting to get in. I figured this is not going to be easy. I went up to the hostess station and asked how long for a table for two and she said 35 minutes or so. I looked at my wife and gave her my name. I had to find out what all the hub bub was about. In about 30 minutes they shouted my name and I sprinted to the front door...I wasn't about to lose my table. In we went and we're shown a nice size table in the middle of the place. It kinda reminded me of a beachy mom and pop diner. The friendly waitress came to the table right away, gave us our menus, showed us the specials board and took a drink order. The menu was simple but had some choices on it. While we were thinking, she came back with our drinks and we quickly ordered an appetizer. In this case, onion rings. A few minutes later my wife settled on a crab cake app and a salad which she asked to be combined. I went for the soup of the day(NE clam chowder) and one of the specials...pork chops(I took my grilled not fried) with 3 sides, Lima beans, okra & tomatoes stewed and green beans. The meal came with a choice of cornbread or roll. I opted for the cornbread. In a flash, the onion rings came out followed by the soup. Now I do love me some onion rings and these were fantastic. Crispy, flavorful and not stringy. The soup was home made. Creamy with bits of clam and chunks of potato. No salt or pepper was needed as it came out steaming hot and perfect. It was a meal in itself and I ended up taking 3/4 home with me(something rarely do). After a few minutes, the main course came out. My wife dug into a very large homemade crab cake, chock full of crab meat and very flavorful. She loved it. The salad was fresh and crisp. My pork chops came out and the size of the plate shocked me. Now, I almost never talk about price but my plate was $12.49 and I got two large perfectly prepared, juicy pork chops with a healthy helping of the best okra and stewed tomatoes I ever had plus absolutely delicious green beans and tasty lima beans. What a deal! The only thing that wasn't above average was the corn bread which was a tad dry and plain. Most of the regulars opted for the home made roll(and the fried chicken which was being served at every table!). I was stuffed and had trouble finishing my plate. My wife who said she was full, managed to save enough room for dessert. Now everyone was eating the homemade peach cobbler so I suggested that. My wife never had it before and was thinking about the Oreo pie, but I persuaded her and she was glad I did. Instead of the usual whip cream she wanted vanilla ice cream with it and it was a fantastic combo. The cobbler came out piping hot and crumbly with sweet chunks of peaches that paired well with the cold vanilla ice cream. She attacked it so fast that I couldn't get a picture. I broke my own rules and dipped in for a few spoonfuls and I'm glad I did. It was heavenly. The bill came and I couldn't believe how reasonable it was. Now I know why you can't get into the joint. We paid our bill and gave the super friendly waitress a nice tip and were on our way. We will absolutely be back and will try to time it a bit better so we can find parking...or we'll take an Uber...it was that good. read more

Everyone was so sweet and friendly! (We went with some lunch combos via to-go ordering and our food came in +/- 7 minutes) The "Chicken Bog" is incredibly tasty & filling. The fried chicken is what Chic-fil-A wishes it could be. The collards and mac & cheese are both top-shelf recipes ... to the point that my 6-yo - not usually keen on either - ate more of them than his french fries (which were also good). The peach cobbler and banana pudding weren't pretentious by any means, but they were definitely elevated compared to the average blue plate sweet course. We'll be back for some fried seafood soon! read more

Cute, small town, home cooked, and quaint. Our server was very friendly and helpful with suggestions. This is a new favorite restaurant. If we are in the area we will be back. read more

Go here quite often as the food and service is amazing! Plenty of seating but would recommend enclosing the tent area for additional guests. Prices are reasonable too! read more

We came when it was raining, but it was still really busy. My little kids enjoyed playing in the sand pit in the back searching for shells. We got seated after about a 20min wait and everything on the menu looked good. I really appreciated the complimentary hush puppies with honey butter. They were delicious. The littles got shrimp with Mac & cheese and a hamburger and fries. They each really enjoyed their meals. The older kids and I each got the Mama Todd's Dinner Special (meat & 3). I got the fries chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy and cornbread. One of the older girls got the fried chicken with fries and Mac & cheese and the other one got the grilled chicken with fries and Mac & cheese. We all ate until we were stuffed, and thoroughly enjoyed everything. Bonus for the price being very affordable. I would definitely eat here again the next time we're in Myrtle Beach. read more

The Shack - Meatloaf and 3 sides. Fried catfish and 3 sides. - Southern Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Stopped into The Shack (finally...lol) for lunch today as I have been wanting to get here for quite some time. Their lunch special is $11.99 (which includes a drink) and the amount of food you get is totally worth it. I got the fried chicken lunch plate with squash casserole and mac n cheese and peach cobbler for dessert. The corn bread tasted under cooked to me which bummed me out. The food was so good and I had plenty of leftovers to bring home for the hubs. My friend got the grilled chicken lunch plate with Cole slaw and green beans and peach cobbler for dessert. She was very pleased with how juicy the chicken breasts were as they can be so hit and miss. Service was mediocre and only saw our server when she took our order and dropped the check off. All in all, we enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back. read more

The food is wonderful. No doubt, and the collards are sweet and the chicken sandwich was good but the onion rings are made there and dang if they aren't the best. The ambience is pure Myrtle beach... old Myrtle beach... the location is small so when it's busy, it's busy. We were there around noon and it was pretty full. The service was ok, nothing to write home about, honestly. The ladies (the waitresses were all women) moved about and checked on things. The reason it's a maybe is because if your not a local, the customers seem to notice and while I didn't feel anything, my wife was pretty uncomfortable, which had us skip the fantastic looking cobbler... hence the maybe but the still three stars for standard for food, ok service, but nothing truly that stands out... read more

Had Breakfast Thursday,Food was delicious,Service was Great,Gald a Friend Recommended it to me,We definitely be back.

I absolutely love this place. It's hard to find places to get good vegetables at but this one definitely has it rockin. Their menu lets you do the classic meat and 2 or 3 while also offering platter type choices. From the road it's not much to look at but surprisingly the interior fits more people than the outside lets on. I love their rotating specials where you can get southern classics or fish. I've haven't had anything where I thought "it's just ok". The service and food is great! Be prepared to wait for a bit to be seated though. This place is not a well kept secret. A lot of people know how god they are and flock to it for every meal. read more

We went back again last night for the best collard Greens ever. The Beef tips and fried chicken was good too. Our waitress was so sweet, so efficient and a joy to be around. The place was packed, but people were served in a very timely and efficiënt manner that the wait time was short. The ambiance was that of down home cooking. If you don't care for country cooking this is not for you. As for me, I love it and this was our groups second visit this read more

Great lively place for breakfast! Gets extremely crowded. Doesn't serve breakfast all day.

The service is always great here. The food comes out quick and is tasty. The chicken was seasoned and not dry. The mashed potatoes and green beans are both good sides. The desserts here are always delicious. They usually have three to choose from. Overall this place is a nice, family-owned spot that gets busy early. Be prepared to wait a little bit if you get there at dinner time. read more

Another great meal at the Shack in Cherry Grove. We had a great waitress Kristin H. We fried chicken a d the chocolate covered cheese cake, both were great. If you are in the area you need to go by the shack. You will be glad that you did. read more

Great restaurant for seafood as well good southern comfort food. We have been to The Shack several times and have never been unhappy!

I dined at The Shack in North Myrtle Beach this week. I had the grilled scallops entree. The scallops were large and of good quality. It came with fries, Cole slaw and two hush puppies. I also had their Oreo pie. Everything I ordered was good. Service was average. read more

Their food is a feeling of homemade and comfort! They are usually very busy and may have a wait but it's worth it! It definitely not fancy but food is great! Service was very good, quick and friendly! read more

First time to eat here and if you enjoy home cooking at a great price this is the place to eat. It's where the locals eat and that's always a good thing. The service was amazing and very friendly. read more

This is another place that I've eaten at several times, because it was popular with our group, not my cup of tea, even with reservations we've never had less than an hour wait, it's very popular so I feel claustrophobic, tables are too close together, I always wonder why during the off season they don't remodel and enlarge. read more

We arrived around 10 a.m. (late for me, but breakfast time for my wife). We were seated quickly and Elisabeth greeted us within a minute. She was smiling and friendly. We ordered our drinks and breakfast. Elisabeth suggested over-light for our eggs rather than our usual over-easy. It was great. I will try that when I get home and see if they know what I am talking about. The Shack Attack was a huge order and i did my best to finish it. My wife got the Loaded Trash and she loved it. Overall this place is great. read more

The food is great. The atmosphere is too crowded to noisy too busy too rushed! In other words, no atmosphere!

We were on vacation to Myrtle Beach and this place seemed like a good idea. We ordered the surf and turf and crab cake sandwich. The steak on the surf and turf was suppose to be medium but was rare in most spots on the steak and it was heavily seasoned with pepper which was off putting to myself and husband. The turf part of it was 2 jumbo scallops and baby shrimp which I wasn't expecting. Being by the water I was expecting larger shrimp. The crab cakes were seasoned good but using the seafood sauce they give you cancels out the crab flavor. read more

Great variety of food. Something for everyone. From seafood to a meat and three to sandwiches and a delicious breakfast are all offered at The Shack closed on Sunday but open Monday through Saturday for breakfast lunch and dinner. 1128 Sea Mountain Highway in North Myrtle Beach. read more

Ain't even open on Sunday. Idiots why would you even list under Sunday brunch. Food is just OK

Brought out some Take-Out after all in our Seniors group were unable to make the trip. Many places have turned against a good off premises meal, but these guys are so helpful and cheerful about it. I never miss an opportunity to sit down and enjoy the experience; not to mention the outstanding menu and down-home quality of the food. read more

Great food, fast service, nice people We will go back when in Myrtle Beach Al Browning read more

We've owned a condo here since 2020. We'd only eaten once before at the Shack and that was a takeout dinner. It was so bad; we've never been back until now. Today, we were out and about early so we gave them a try for breakfast. We'd seen good reviews on Facebook and Yelp for their breakfasts, so maybe this time would be better. It was not. The menu is read more

Really really tasty home lovin' FOOD! The staff for one are all so sweet, & welcoming. We got sat pretty late because we were driving around trying to find a place to eat. The shack is straight up good. The honey butter hush puppies are so fun and a different type of hushpuppies then most are used to. Liked that they were complementary. The seafood was very fresh and battered wonderfully, not too thick and great seasoning. The shrimp and grits are divine and so home cooked, tasted like your grandma cooked them. Must go to this place! Definitely a place where locals go, and try to get there early normally a line. Also! In the summer they are OPEN PAST 8. On Google maps it says they close at 8 but they are open till 9 in summer time. read more

We have been to The Shack several times. Their food is always delicious and the menu choices offer something for everyone. Highly recommend the turkey and dressing if it's available! We will be back. read more

We arrived around 7:30 and there was a 45 minute wait. The staff were all very nice and welcoming even though we were sat 15 minutes after their 8:00 closing time. We never felt rushed. The food was very fresh and came out quickly. We had fried and grilled seafood and the steak and shrimp entree. Everything was cooked to perfection. Our server, Kristen, was very accommodating and gracious. If you are looking for no frills, good food served by nice people, look no further. I also appreciated the covered seating with benches outside for the wait. read more

The food is good ole country cooking for an amazing price! It's a great place to dine & affordable if you have kids. The menu has something for everyone! You are served the most delicious hush puppies when seated while your food is being prepared. I've had the shrimp, fish, fried chicken (), fried oysters, veggies & desserts! All are delicious & ample servings! The staff is so pleasant , patient & kind. The atmosphere is quaint & clean & it's a locals go to & a beach favorite! You typically have a little wait, but they have ample covered seating outside while you do. During the summer the wait may be a bit longer, but it's well worth it! read more

We always see plenty of cars outside the Shack so thought it must be pretty special. I can say that the staff was great!! The food, on the other hand left all (three) of us disappointed. Generally, the fish was overcooked - way overcooked. Returned one dish for another selection but it wasn't much better. We probably won't be back in the near future. read more

The food here is always great, like Grandma's home cookin! There is always a meat n 3 sides menu available along with the other menu items, and the prices are very reasonable. The service here is top notch, we frequent this restaurant and have never had poor service. Love the cozy feel of this locals and tourist favorite, old fishing pics on the walls from local fishermen and other historical pictures. You may have a little wait,but the wait is well worth it! read more

Food was sub-par. But for the price it was alright. Service was nice, would possible come back if the food had more flavor.

We loved everything about this charming efficient family owned/run restaurant. We had a brief wait until our table was ready, our server immediately welcomed us and our delicious dinner was served promptly. The prices were fantastic-portions generous (so much so that we took our Oreo Pie to go) service stellar..... we would definitely make a return visit our next trip to Cherry Grove read more

Simply the best! There isn't anything that's not good about the place! We had breakfast but stayed til lunch just to get the clam chowder! Most importantly the kindness & friendliness of the staff was superb! Will always visit here when in town! read more

The Shack is decent food at a very reasonable price. We had a group of 6, and everyone enjoyed their meal and nobody left hungry. The $10.99 dinner special is the way to go with meat choice, bread, and 3 sides (and one of the sides can be dessert!). My choice was fried catfish with slaw, lima beans, and strawberry cobbler. Also got some tastes from other family members. The best were: seafood platter, fried chicken, fried catfish, lima beans, apple cobbler, and strawberry cobbler. Basically home family style meals here. See pics. The so-so items were the oreo pie, slaw, and peaches (canned). The Shack gets busy and we had about 30 minute wait, but went fast with friends and drinks outside. Good server and short wait time for our orders. The Shack has small parking lot in front which gets filled up, parking in back too. Definitely one of the best values on the beach and worth a stop. read more
