    Thonry's was great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun atmosphere![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was very good!!! Service was a little slow but okay!

    Have went to a lot of places here on our two week stay found this one the last day of our stay they had just turned the open sign off when we pulled up but they come out as we were getting ready to find something else and said to come on in they would serve us. Glad we went in was the best meal yet will be back every time we are here now ! Service was excellent as well

    Ok, first off my wife and I are hard core foodies and sports fanatics. We were visiting Myrtle Beach and saw Thornys driving down the street and said let's check it out for the late Sunday NFL games. Which we did and the first thing to note is when you walk in it's like walking into a time capsule. I spoke to the very proud welcoming owner Joe about the decor, he gave me the history of the restaurant, which is decades old and passed through the family. Let me share A LOT of luv, work and creative thought went into their motif. And it was a family affair all the way. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The whole place is a warm feel, great vibe and great friendly service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It doesn't feel like a sports bar, although has TVs everywhere including some tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu has a variety of options, healthy non healthy, you choose. We had the ribs which were awesome and gone in 5 minutes. The prices for drinks, were the best in town. I'm not sure why they only have 3 stars, but they sincerely put 99% of sports bars I've been to shame. Thank you Joe for being you and thank you Lindsey for being a beautiful, legit, kick ass bartender! We luv Thornys! With a great experience in mind! Cheers, Ken!

    We got seated for an hour and forgotten about. We didn't say anything because we figured it was busy but it really wasn't too busy. Once our waiter was told she forgot us, she rolled her eyes and didn't give us our drinks for another 10 minutes. We were staring at this point and I really just wanted anything to put in my stomach. Besides the food being overpriced for what it is, our waiter didn't bring us our side of slaw and so when we politely asked for it because we assumed she just forgot, she rolled her eyes and brought us slaw WITHOUT THE CREAM. It was interesting to say the least, and we still tipped 15% after she rudely disappeared after chucking a bill at us. Keep in mind we said nothing to her about this all and we acted normal and gave her the benefit of the doubt, yet still acted this way.

    What the coupon gets you, a cheap box of taffee

    We started with potato skins and they came out so burnt you could taste the burnt on the bottom (there was 8 of them). She said she would have them remade and she only brought out 4 and they were still burnt! 3 steaks were ordered and all of them had no seasoning. We had a party of 6 but only ordered for 5 of us and they added a $25 gratuity fee for meals and service that were terrible. Had a coupon for what used to be a free t-shirt but now they only give you a small box of taffee after spending all that money. We were dissatisfied and will not be going back!!

    The food was decent enough. Most of the servings are good sized proportions with the exception of the chicken for the price. Service was good which means a lot for me returning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you like watching sports while seated at a table, there are plenty of tvs for a good view. Some tables even have tvs at them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is perfect for a Saturday during college football season. We will go back to give them another try.

    Went on a Wednesday night around 8 and were sat immediately. We ordered michelob draft and Buffalo shrimp as an appetizer. As meals I got the chicken quesadilla starter and my daughter got the Alfredo side because she doesn't like chicken and my husband got the fried chicken sandwich. Service was great and we loved all our food. Will definitely go back!

When visiting for a family beach trip, we decided to try this beloved seafood buffet. Along the strip in Myrtle Beach, the roads are lined with a plethora of Seafood Buffets ranging from small family owned to large attraction-like restaurants. Without having tried any of the other options, I would say this has to be the best in town. The atmosphere, staff, variety of food offerings, and taste were unmatched. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a unique buffet experience. The exterior of this restaurant is massive and felt like a large Shopping Center with beautiful landscaping, water features, beautiful windows, and colorful siding. Upon arrival, we were asked at the door our party size. They had two entry lines based on table sizes. Since our party was four, we were sent to the shorter line and did not even have to wait to be seated. As we were walked to our table, we passed massive sailing ships complete with rows of hot and cold foods. The ceiling was reminiscent of the ocean skies. The entire restaurant felt like an experience already. I was amazed by the theming, cleanliness, and attention to details. For adults, the buffet is right around $50/person + drinks and tax. The buffet is all-you-can-eat with mutiple serving lines placed around the vast dining hall. As a picky eater, I was honestly a little worried that the offerings would primarily be seafood options; however, I was happily surprised that the buffet line had a LARGE selection ranging from Chicken Tenders and Fries to Pulled Pork and Macaroni and Cheese. I was actually very excited to find so many of my favorite foods and be able to eat just a little of them all! Some other offerings I added to my plate include hush puppies, corn on the cob, fried fish sticks, rolls, and cheddar biscuits all in one trip. My brother is more adventurous in his selection and was able to try different fish and crab legs with multiple trips. They had almost two whole buffet areas filled with seafood dishes that I didn't even visit. His favorite was just the shrimp! They also have a whole dessert room with a wide range of sweet dishes. To be honest, some of the food was mediocre or tasted similar to standard buffet-food-quality. The macaroni was a little bland. The fries were a little soggy. However, the restaurant was so busy that food was being rotated and changed out quickly on the buffet line. Overall, the entire experience was fun and unique. The restaurant was very expensive for a family of four, especially when you're not eating over the top or making multiple trips; however, the nautical theming, food selections, and service set this buffet apart from many others. You'll find something to eat whether you're picky or love the most adventurous of seafood dishes.

Hated paying to park. But the server and host were awesome. The crab legs were ok about a three on a five scale.

Whoever thought to make it savory instead of sweet missed the mark. The flavors of the slaw clashed with the rest of the plate. The fish was tasty and the chips were seasoned well and plentiful.

There was also live music the evening we were there which was just lovely. Steven, our server shared the evening specials and was very attentive to us throughout our meal. Our table enjoyed delicious margaritas, the Autumn Power salad - fresh spinach, dried cranberries, fresh apple slices, and a refreshing dressing. The crab legs were delicious, two clumps with butter and lemons. We also had the shrimp and fries- 8 large shrimp lightly breaded with shoestring fries. Our land lover enjoyed the Reel burger- a juicy combination of chuck and brisket cooked to order. The bun was toasted and held up well to the burger. Overall the experience was very enjoyable. While the food was good. It was the excellent atmosphere and service that took the experience over the top for us.

They do tons of carry out (very busy while we were there)!! You place your order and pay first. Then, have a seat and wait for it to be delivered. If you need a drink refill, you need to go up to that. We went for steamed crabs only, but the rest of the food looks amazing. People I was with have eaten there before and raved about how fresh and delicious everything in the menu was. This trip was steamed crabs only. We ordered #1's for $48/dozen. We also ordered sodas. They do have beer to go with the crabs too! Didn't wait long. They were good. However, I don't think they were #1 level. At the most maybe mediums. We had several that were paper thin and no meat. They were full. Very watery and not seasoned nearly enough. We weren't expecting Maryland style crabs as we are in South Carolina, but weee hopeful they would be steamed and seasoned a little more. They do need those little food fans on the tables as the flies were annoying (we sat inside). Had to put napkins on top of our cups. The service here is lovely! Just super friendly and welcoming. Shoutout to Justin?? Might have been Nick - ugh, can't remember. Young kid, dark hair. They were so busy, and they were for sure stretched thin. He did his best and even checked on us once while also bussing tables, taking orders, sweeping, delivering food, etc. Was debating between a 3 or 4, but realized that shouldn't hold them responsible for replicating a different style of steaming crabs and seasoning them. The service and atmosphere were great. Their food in general is delicious,
