I have my 90 year old father down here for the month and he keeps bugging me to go to happy hours...who am I not to oblige... I figured he will like the old clubby atmosphere of Thoroughbreds plus they have great wine and an excellent burger. We got there a few minutes before 4:30 and waited in the car until they opened up. Now I haven't been here in a few years, but it looked exactly the same... bar to the left as you come in, with multiple dining rooms scattered throughout, some with a fireplace some without, all of it projecting private club with a southern flair. It's decorated well. We sidled up to the bar, where we were the first two patrons there and sat at the end. The bartender was attentive and quickly came over with menus and asking for a drink order. I ordered my father a nice glass of Pinot Noir and a seltzer water for myself and then quickly began reading the menu. Thoroughbreds has a happy hour menu that is served at the bar and a more extensive full menu served at the bar and in the dining rooms. I settled on the burger with fries for my father, with no cheese or other accoutrements that is always served on a pretzel bun. It comes with Gruyère cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion...that's the way I usually get it, but my father being 90 is set in his ways. I decided on an appetizer of escargot and the main course of elk chops cooked medium and served with broccolini and mashed potatoes. After a while(and another glass of wine for my father) the escargot came out with some hot bread and infused butter. The escargot was tender and flavorful with hints of garlic and parsley in a rich butter sauce. The bread was a good choice to dip into the plate. A few moments later, my father's burger came out, cooked to perfection with crispy shoestring fries that were moist and tasty in the middle. The happy hour version of the elk chops consisted of two. They were served crusted over the broccolini with a nice moundful of herb infused mashed potatoes. The elk chops were delicious and tender, and the broccolini and potatoes were seasoned to perfection. By the time we were done, the bar was full and people were having a great time eating and drinking. I looked over at my father and I could tell it was time to go so we headed out the door and drove back to our condo in North Myrtle Beach . Overall, I find Thoroughbreds an excellent upscale dining experience with friendly and professional waitstaff in a club like atmosphere that serves great steaks and chops. read more

We enjoyed a meal here for our anniversary on a Saturday evening. It was perfect from the moment we walked in until we left. Service was incredible! Our glasses were constantly filled. I ordered sweet tea and it wasn't quite to my liking--my server offered to fix it and make it perfect sweet tea. It was genuinely sweet! We were impressed with the decor--it felt very cozy and we were delighted by the comfort. For dinner, we started with the escargot appetizer. It was a new dish for both of us but we were happy with it. They also brought some delicious bread with an herbed butter. The bread was wonderful. For our main dish, we did the chateaubriand for two. It was finished table side and was a very cool experience. It came with mushrooms, asparagus. And mashed potatoes. I'm not big on mushrooms but these were incredible! I loved the flavor and the texture was so creamy. My husband loved the mashed potatoes. Dessert was spectacular! We couldn't decide on dessert and our server directed us to the Kentucky Derby Pie. I would come back here for this dessert alone. Chocolate desserts are not my husband's favorite but he absolutely loved it. It's got a bit of everything--chocolate, pecans, caramel, ice cream. The cheesecake was delicious as well. We were too full to eat both so we brought the cheesecake home and shared with our kiddo who declared it amazing. read more

My family and I booked a reservation for Thanksgiving despite reading previous years reviews. The restaurant itself has charm but some rooms are carpeted with large tables in the middle and it very awkward sitting in the row of tables down the middle. At times, it seems anyone can hear your conversation. As for service, although there was quite the initial wait for the server, he was friendly. I enjoyed the menu offerings and we all had the filet over the turkey. All filets were ordered the same, medium, and they all came out drastically different with some being undercooked and all unevenly cooked. The flavor was also lacking and the green beans were crisp as can be, hardly cooked. We also ordered the desserts to go and were given incorrect desserts. For the price point at this establishment, the quality is not there. We took our food to go and ended up having to doctor and season and finish cooking at home. read more

Service was excellent. Celebrated my husbands birthday, the restaurant decorated the table, gave a card, and gave a dessert on the house which I thought was super special and cute . My husband got the scallops and was raving about them . I loved their Cesar salad but did not take a picture . We both tried the wagu filet which was so yummy. I would highly recommend this place and will come back again when I'm in the area! read more

I ate at Thoroughbreds with three buddies Saturday night. This wasn't my first visit. The service is generally good and they have a very good bourbon selection, but the pours are meager. I love Prime Rib. Anytime I dine at a steakhouse, if they have Prime Rib on the menu, I order it. So I ordered it last night, medium rare and unfortunately it was a terrible cut. Lots of sinew and gristle. I was unable to cut thru the center of the steak, with a steak knife. I managed to get a couple of chewable bites around the edges, but I left at least 2/3rds of the steak on my plate because it was inedible. We'll likely skip Thorobreds on future MB golf trips. wel read more

We celebrated our 42nd Wedding Anniversary tonight. They had decorated the table with hearts and a card. The service was great, atmosphere was good and food was delicious. They also complimented us with dessert. It had been a couple of years since we'd been here but will make it a point to come more often. Thanks for making our evening special! read more

the food was divine the service was outstanding and the had great manners the feel in there was cool and yes the prices are higher but it is all worth it I got the lobster and fila along with some French onion soup and it was great but then i washed it down with a banana frostier which they do it in front of u and it was great 10 out of10 can't wait for my next visit! read more

Come with me on a magical birthday experience! First, my boyfriend contacted the restaurant and informed them that it was my birthday so when we arrived, the hostess immediately wished me happy birthday and led us to the most intimate and beautiful setting. Thank You! Next, our waitress Karen came over and wished me happy birthday and provided us with quality service from start to end. Drinks: I no longer wish to drink a lemon drop from anywhere other than this restaurant. This was a freshly squeezed lemon drop and the alcohol balance was perfect! Appetizers: thanks to Yelp, I checked in to dinner and was provided with a free appetizer or dessert. I decided on the appetizer and boy was I pleased with my selection. The dish was called "Angels on Horseback" and to provide context, the dish consisted of "three sea scallops wrapped in applewood-smoked bacon, vegetable puree, bacon-bourbon glaze"- menu description. This dish was SO juicy, flavorful, and satisfying. The scallops were perfectly cooked and the bacon almost seeped through the scallops, adding a sweet, savory flavor to the dish. It was shareable as the portions were huge so feel free to share with someone special. I rate this a solid 10 forks and a smile! Entree: for my main course I ordered the Pan-Seared Sea bass. Menu description "Purple and golden beet purees, garlic spinach, celery root, baby pear gastrique" This was the BEST sea bass I've had in a while and here is why, the sea bass was perfect! Juicy, well seasoned, topped with a crispy layer and surrounded by complimenting items. The garlic spinach-sautéed to perfection! The celery root, baby pear, and purple and golden beet were all magical! This was the kind of dish that you had to chew slowly and enjoy. It's no surprise here, I rate this dish 10 forks, 10 knives, and a happy tummy smile! Dessert: unexpected but so thoughtful! The restaurant surprised me with a delicious and creamy cheesecake at the end and I fought back tears at this beautiful surprise. Overall, I had a very pleasant birthday dining experience. My compliments to the chef for displaying fine culinary skills and my compliments to Karen and the staff for offering quality services. I'll definitely return. read more

Great steaks and salads! Amazing attentive service and comfortable/sophisticated ambience. Will be back.

We celebrated our anniversary at Thoroughbred Chophouse, and it was a wonderful choice. The steaks were perfectly prepared and full of flavor, and the service was just right--welcoming and attentive without ever feeling too much. What really touched us was the sweet anniversary note they brought us at the end of the night, which made an already special evening unforgettable. read more

The steaks and sides were great, service excellent and nice steakhouse vibe. Highly recommend

The food was amazing, but it was the service that made the experience exceptional! Our server Matt was attentive, helpful with our food and cocktail selection, and just very personable. He along with the food was chef's kiss. read more

I normally post good pictures and pictures of the inside and outside of a restaurant. This time I have the beautiful picture of my grandparents celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. I searched for an upscale restaurant and came across this one and great reviews, and I was not disappointed. Neither were my grandparents. I was able to call ahead, make the reservation, leave my credit card on file, and Sonja took care of all the rest. Thank you for providing my grandparents a fantastic place to celebrate their love. They ordered the oyster thoroughbred oysters for their appetizer and the rib eyes for their main course. Thank you again for everything! read more

Thoroughbreds Chophouse - My Grandparents on their 60th Wedding Anniversary - Seafood Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Wanted a nice experience on our vacation disappointed is an understatement diabolical was our experience. The waiter was great, food awful we ordered two pork chops then got asked how we wanted them cook "um maybe all the way through" received raw pork was not expecting parasites for dinner. Upon receiving our pork we sent them back to be cooked more after taking a bite I could feel the pig oink in my mouth. For a 50 dollar pork chop that wasn't even cooked I could have got a whole pig just for myself and done it wayyyy better! If you're planning to be throughly disappointed while spending over $200 then I recommend going to this terrible restaurant. But if you want brain eating parasites get yourself their pork chops!! read more

Thoroughbreds Chophouse - The oink in my mouth - Seafood Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Last night, my wife and I went to Thoroughbreds for dinner and it was an amazing experience. Our waiter hunt was a great young man allowed us to take our time looking at the menu brought us our appetizers then our salad nothing was rushed. It was perfect and to make it even better. The manager came up to check on us and say hi and made everything special. From the hostess to the waiting staff the management and the chef is incredible. I had the bluefin appetizer which is by far the best I've had anywhere in South Carolina. My wife got the Sea bass, which was incredible. I ended up getting lobster tails and steak and as always unbelievable. The bluefin tuna was so good. Followed it up with crème brûlée and in house made Key-lime cheesecake! We got an order to go for my daughter. When She got home she took it right out of the fridge and ate it all gone. read more

Ambiance great and the service was excellent. The food however was only fair and didn't seem worth the exorbitant pricing.

This is a wonderful restaurant with absolutely amazing food. That said it is $100 per person from regular menu. There is a special menu from 4:00 to 6:30 PM that is 3 courses for $60-but you have to ask for it after they show you the actual menu!!!! for this I have given them four stars . On the regular menu 1/2 of a chicken is $40 with no sides other than mashed potatoes. It is GORGEOUS INSIDE AND THE STAFF ARE IMPECCABLE. I HAD MORE PICS but was limited by Yelp. read more

I fully expect this place to be closed down at any moment. The manager Remington Chase is rude, condescending and arrogant. If you have an issue don't expect him to be any help. Couldn't tell you anything about the food because I left before eating. I would eat at a dumpster behind Taco Bell before I would ever give this place another chance. read more

I had the best tenderloin I've ever had here. The banana foster was also excellent. Our server was excellent as well.

Was here for a drug rep dinner and was very, very impressed. Firstly the interior is quite lavish. It was giving me attorneys winter cabin vibes but I wasn't mad about it. The waiting staff was VERY professional and very courteous. Best service in a dine in restaurant I've had in a hot minute. The food was very good and rich. My only complaint of anything would be that the margarita I got was not mixed well. That said, they did NOT skimp on liquor. So I'm not too upset about it. Overall, this was a joy to participate in and I really enjoyed the whole establishment. Major props to the waiting staff though. There was a level of professionalism there that's very hard to come by these days. EDIT: Oh, and the death by chocolate cake? GET IT. Holy cow what a delight! read more

We went to Thoroughbreds tonight for my wife's birthday. This is the second time we've been here. The coffee encrusted strip is just excellent. The service is excellent. In all honesty, I think this is probably the best steakhouse in town. Right up there with the best steaks I've ever had. Had the cheesecake for dessert and that was incredible. Incredibly positive experience. read more

Thoroughbreds chophouse was pretty good, but a little overpriced for all the hype. The service was underwhelming considering the price of the food. We started with the angels on horseback: scallops, wrapped in bacon, and a delicious bourbon glaze. Next, we had the wedge salad, which was good. I had the filet mignon with au poivre sauce. Steak was good but not great. The sauce way too peppery, and I love a lot of pepper-- the sauce could have used a nice splash of cream to cut the overwhelming black pepper! My hubby had the pork osso bucco, which he did not care for. Dessert was average. Rating might be a 4 for the food, but the server was unattentive . read more

My husband and I decided we wanted to go for a nice steak dinner while in Myrtle Beach. We were pleased with the beautifully decorated restaurant for the holiday season. Lisa T was our server and she was very knowledgeable and kept us laughing. On this particular night the special steak was a 20 oz bone in ribeye. My husband ordered this steak and I ordered the prime rib. Let just say that my husband cut me off a taste of his ribeye and it was the best steak I have ever had! Our hats off to the chef! All of our food was great and we certainly will visit again when we are in the area. If you visit ask for Lisa T. Great service and great personality. Thanks Lisa for making our dining experience so memorable. read more

On vacation with Zvck in Myrtle Beach and I was treated to an excellent birthday dinner at Thoroughbreds Chop House (nice surprise by son one and 74 thanks guys). We were greeted with a warm welcome by our hostess and led in to a dark wood interior with equestrian pictures and memorabilia with a nice bar and dining area. Our waitress was busy but she did a phenomenal job and made us feel like we were the only ones in the place. We opted for the porterhouse for two (they had only one left),an order of fried calamari and a couple of dinner salads. The calamari was as good as ive had anywhere. Perfectly fried in a light batter that highlighted the flavor of the squid. it was not rubbery at all. A+. The steak was huge and came with jumbo shrimp in garlic butter. I didnt think we would finish it but we were gnawing on the bone by the end. Great steak cooked just right as tender and flavorful as any ive had. Just for good measure the cheesecake and coffee for dessert were on point. Thoroughbreds is a first rate classic steak house and a must try if you are in the MB area. read more

Went to celebrate my wife's bday and their place hit everything out of the park. Inside is perfect, great pictures, seating areas are comfy and different areas made it seem like we were there with a few others only even though they were pretty full. We wanted to experience the full meal service, so we started with oysters on the half shell. And we were not disappointed perfect way to start. We then split a Caesar salad as we wanted room for the whole meal. Dinner specials were amazing, filet and lobster tail with a side of risotto and Cajun ribeye with scallops and shrimp skewer. Wife ordered black and blu and it was cooked to absolute perfection. Finished dinner and the restaurant brought out a birthday desert brownie and white chocolate. The whole experience was amazing and would recommend this place for an amazing dinner, date night and/or special occasion. read more

Very overpriced for what you get, the food here is decent(only decent)but not worth what they ask, I've been to wolf gang puck restaurants and paid less for better quality food, me and my wife paid $237 for dinner and drinks and it was no where near what I expected the quality was gonna be, would not go here again, it's a mediocre steak house charging what a 5 star restaurant would charge, everything else was amazing though, the waitress was awesome read more

Service was great, food was amazing. Atmosphere takes you back in time a bit to when 5 star restaurants had character. Highly recommend.

A Myrtle Beach gem! It was an amazing experience from start to finish. The door was opened for us by the sweet hostess who then took us to our table. We started the evening with The Blue Larkspur and Cucumber Elderflower Margarita. So refreshing! The French onion soup was the best I've ever had. We had the Sea Bass and Rack of Lamb for our main course. So flavorful and juicy. The manager stopped by to see how everything was coming along and even showed us around the restaurant. We ended our evening with Key Lime Cheesecake which was perfect. Can't wait to come back! read more

to start off, they messed up on my reservation. Secondly, playing music, Dave Matthews at a high-end restaurant was not relaxing. The steaks were over salted. The lamb was undercooked. Vegetables were stringy. Drinks were not that great either. But be aware there was a table of six people that sat down, had water and decided to leave. They never changed everything out and use the same silverware and some glasses and silverware. I wrote a bad review and received a phone call from the manager within minutes . I told him you have a health issue there. It is absolutely disgusting that they did not change out this large table after somebody sat there with children. Never again, a $500 waste of money. And the manager could care less did not offer any compensation. read more

Food was excceptional. Service was mediocre and slow. I also was completely stunned by the smart remarks of the waiter, Hunt.

I was looking forward to trying this restaurant as my husband and I love seafood and steak and we have been to many of the "go-to's" in MB many times. Unfortunately, the food was just ok and DEFINITELY not worth the price when there are so many amazing restaurants in MB. Additionally, the atmosphere is so dark all the people at the tables were using cell phone flashlights to see the menu (yes, we are older, but we were not the only ones doing this). The walls are all wood which may be some people's preferred vibe, but I just found it to be like a dungeon. Additionally, our server spoke so softly I had to try and read her lips and guess what she was even saying (and no, I don't struggle with hearing loss yet). My scallops were small and I have had much better scallops in size and flavor at Hook n Barrel and Chive Blossom for less cost. My husband's steak was really good and there are no complaints there, but we've had the same elsewhere at a much better price. And if all of that wasn't bad enough, we love wine, and their wine list seemed to have mostly things you could find at the grocery store priced like it was straight out of Napa. Yes, there were some "higher end" wines listed; however, the price point was NOT commensurate with the label. Anyway, overall I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone that is a foodie or frequents the many MB amazing dining options, this one is definitely not worth your time nor $$. read more

My daughter and I went for my birthday in July and I was a bit disappointed. The decor is old school fine dining snd I was anticipating an amazing experience. I love prime rib and was so looking forward to this meal. My prime rib was an end cut so it had lots of the flavor due to the rub - and my daughter had a cut with almost no flavor and just too much gristle - not exaggerating when I say at least 1/4 of her cut or more. The waiter absolutely should have noted this The waiter pulled my plate while she was still eating which is just not done in fine dining We felt rushed even though it was early and they were not busy. The mashed potatoes side was delicious but just a minuscule serving They were aware it was my birthday and the table was covered in confetti - very cute so when ordered dessert I was surprised the server did not stick a candle in it. For the cost of the meals - and under the pretense of fine dining - the service was just not up to par - I don't like feeling I am being rushed - and the food was not extraordinary read more

For the best steaks in town this is the best restaurant in Myrtle Beach. The service is excellent and the ambiance is beautiful. read more
