Don't judge a book by its cover. This restaurant is on the corner of a little neighborhood shopping area and the locals know it well. The food was excellent. All seafood, meats, & produce were of high quality and prepared to perfection. I recommend the Grouper Bites as an appetizer. The wait staff (Brandy) was very knowledgeable about the way the food was prepared and she was very accommodating by making certain that our requests were met. The ambience was nothing fancy but still comfortable . You should go dine there and I know you will be glad you did. read more

Found using the Yelp app. Lot of good reviews. It's a relatively small place and clientele seems locals vs tourists. Server was great. Took our beverage orders, returned quickly with those and water. She told us the specials which we passed on. Fred ordered fried oysters platter, I ordered an à la carte crab cake and oysters Rockefeller. Our food arrived quickly. Fried oysters were plentiful and crispy. House made chips were crunchy and delicious. My crab cake was wonderful - as close to a Maryland crab cake as I've had in a long time. Lump crab, very little bread crumbs, pan fried and served with a dollop of hollandaise. It needed some Old Bay seasoning. The Rockefeller Oysters were delicious. Plump oysters topped with spinach and Hollandaise. They need a splash of Pernod and would be 5 star. We split a piece of house made peanut butter pie for dessert. It wasn't good. Way too sweet and very soupy. Tasted like a cool whip recipe. Our tab was reasonable and we left our server a generous tip. We recommended the restaurant to numerous people we knew back at the hotel. I'd definitely return! read more

So usually our favorite place but not last night not so much. None of our dishes were good. We ate a little and tossed the rest. So disappointed! And our waiter never asked if everything was ok. It was not! So disappointed! Waiter had no clue. We won't be back. Too bad!! read more

My husband and I visited Tidewater Grill one evening when visiting NMB with family. We arrived before our reservation, and the hostess accommodated us. They are smallish inside, but they do have a patio that seats more. We lucked out with one of their few booths. My husband had the Tidewater Burger (with bacon and chili), and I had the Jumbo Lump Crabcake sandwich. We opted for onion rings and coleslaw as our sides. His burger was perfectly medium-rare, and was loaded with lots of toppings! My crabcake was on the thinner side, but full of lump crab meat, and I enjoyed the remolaude. The onion rings were very crispy. The coleslaw was simple, yet good as well. We enjoyed our meal, and will likely return if we are in the mood for a burger the next time we are in town. read more

Tidewater Grill is a small local North Myrtle Beach restaurant. Seating is limited because of the size, but it wasn't too busy when we were there. We made reservations because there were seven in our party. They have a small but diverse menu. My daughters both ordered 1/2 pound burgers and fries. I had seared scallops and substituted cheese grits for the dirty rice. Others in our group ordered fried flounder, fried shrimp and a ravioli (one of their specials of the day). Everything was delicious and portion sizes were just right. It was also decorated in a cute way for the holidays. This is a good place to dine especially if you have a group wanting a seafood restaurant that also offers delicious alternatives to the normal seafood cuisine. read more

Tidewater Grill - Scallops with cheese grits and green beans - Seafood Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Don't be turned away by its location in a strip mall shopping type building because this is a must stop location. I got the feel it was more a local loved joint, which is what we strive for on beach vacations! First, The decor inside is super welcoming and clean feeling! I loved the wall paper and tiling on the floor. Our food was sooooo good. Started with grouper bites that fell apart so tenderly and the dipping sauce was superb. I would go back again and again just to get the grouper bites! I ordered a lobster roll which was stuffed to the gill, perfection. My husband ordered the fried flounder plate which he said was also good. A highlight was my blood orange martini and my husband's mojito. Both A+ The service is ok here, our waiter was also the bartender so he had to be quick and to the point but was also very friendly and did an excellent job doing both roles on a busy night. Overall, the food makes this joint a must go!! read more

We had a big party in the back room for Christmas and it was fabulous! The waitresses were amazing, friendly and fast. The food was delicious and everyone loved their meal. I had the black and blue salad with shrimps and the dressing was just as good as it looks. The shrimps were grilled perfectly and the chucks of blue cheese were delicious and fresh. read more

Tidewater Grill - Black and Bleu Salad - Seafood Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Had to be the worst spaghetti I have ever eaten. No flavor too much water all the noodles were over cooked and broken.

A hidden gem. A real throw back to yesteryear. Not trendy decor. The value is in the food. Large servings.

Nice and quaint restaurant with quiet ambiance and delicious food that's hot and fresh. Terrific table service too.

Not the greatest of menus. A lot of fried seafood. Service was good. Needs some updating as far as decor is concerned.

Let me start by saying staff is super friendly and welcoming, which is a huge plus. You are also able to make reservations in advance if you are so inclined. Inside is decorated now contemporary yet laid back environment. Our meals were the disappointing part of the evening. We ordered the onion rings and the fried calamari to start with. They looked promising, but within 30 seconds of sitting on the table, the batter completely fell off both. So we just had onion laying there, and on the other platter rings of calamari, surrounded by the breading and pepperoncini's. They were overdone and quite chewy. Barely ate any before the server came around and asked if we were done and I took away the dishes. For our dinner order we ordered the ribeye medium rare, which actually was quite tasty with a delicious char on the outside. Also a bacon cheeseburger with pimento cheese on the side, which was also very good. The chicken Parmesan was terrible and small with barely any sauce and the noodles just were not what was expected. Also ordered a shrimp Poboy sandwich, which was overly salty with barely any sauce. Dry and almost inedible. Overall, a very disappointing meal. read more

Went here today. They had special restaurant week menu. 4 courses for 35.00 per person. All food was delicious. I had grilled thai shrimp, caesar salad, and blackened salmon, and my wife had fried green tomatoes and chicken alfredo. We took desserts home of bread pudding and cheese cake with blueberries. Service was quick and efficient. We made reservations and we had our choice of booth or table.plenty of seating. Comfortable atmosphere. They have a full service bar with seating at bar available.

Stopped here after a long day of road tripping. Small and cozy place at the end of a strip mall. You would never expect such a delish place looking at it from the outside, but it did not disappoint! I sat at the bar with some locals and was served right away. I started with a maple old fashioned and it was tasty! For dinner I ordered a side salad and the shrimp and grits. The salad was so fresh and had a super yummy house made dressing. For my main I ordered the shrimp and grits. The menu said it had a chef's twist to it and it sure did! It had seasoned shrimp and smoked sausage pieces and a sauce like jambalaya. So good!! Reasonable prices and very clean restaurant. Def recommend!! read more

Food: 5 Customer Service: 5 Ambience: 5 Location/ Parking: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Reservations: NA This American restaurant is situated in the heart of a semi-urban North Myrtle Beach area. We decided to grab some lunch here a few weeks ago, while we were visiting the Myrtle Beach area. This is a small restaurant with a small parking lot. The staff was very friendly and quickly got us a table upon our arrival. Our waiter was very professional and gave us some popular recommendations. Our meals came out very fast and everything was seasoned very well. Overall experience was great, and I'm sure that we will return for another visit soon. read more

Nice local restaurant which is what we seek when traveling. I should've followed my other half's order but I traditionally don't like the salmon but hers was GREAT! It was better than my scallops, which were good but everytime she looked away, my fork was stealing the salmon. I also enjoyed the grouper. She typically stays away from the appetizers but didn't today. lol I was told during the off season Labor Day to Memorial day they have speciality meals that they stop on Memorial Day, All in all, a great place to visit and plenty of locals agree. A little pricier than Florida but worth it. read more

Best crab cakes in North Myrtle beach? A no frills restaurant with great food and great service!

Food was great and wait staff was attentive. I would definitely recommend and would go back again

Attentive service, high quality ingredients, lots of options and a clean environment. I could eat here every night for a week straight. Prices aren't cheap, but the value for what they're offering was high in my opinion. Tip: Make a reservation. read more

Let me start with the Fish and Chips, they literally mean potato chips not fries. I have never had fish with potato chips. The waitress stated we could order fries if we wanted to at additional cost. We did not want to pay more for this meal than we were already. The fried cod is frozen fish and the size of a chicken tender and literally had no taste. We didnt eat it. We were not offered anything else, Just a sorry you dont like it. I took the fish home for the dog. Will not be back here. Meals should have been comped or at least offered something else. read more

This was a delight. We were greeted and seated right away. Our server Tracy was friendly, helpful and you could see she loved her job. I had an Alice in Wonderland moment when I crossed the threshold because the inside does not resemble the outside. Nicely designed, great flooring combo with table tops and bar. Another nice treat was "SPACE". They could easily put more 4 4-seat tables and they would get filled. Because they have not done that there is space and freedom to move. Your conversations can be more private. This is a huge selling point for me. (No I did not offer to purchase) hahaha. Our food was delicious. For the first time with Fish Tacos... the Mahi-Mahi was the main ingredient. Large piece of fish that was filling. I had 3 and was stuffed. Hubby had fish and chips all made fresh right there. I'm sure dessert is good but we were too full. Hahaha. Definitely worth a stop!! read more

We had a reservation and were seated immediately. The waiter took our drink order and quickly delivered it while we perused the menu. We both selected the coconut shrimp special off the blackboard. The coconut shrimp platter was ruined by the poor french fries as the shrimp and coleslaw were excellent. When we mentioned it to the waiter we got a "it's always like that ..." They should do something about that as they were undercooked, limp and soggy. read more

This is a hidden gem with a wonderful menu selection of seafood and other items. The server was excellent, helping to modify my order to accommodate a food intolerance and verify ingredients.

Tidewater Grill - Broiled Seafood Platter - Seafood Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Son and I were in town for some golf and wanted to get some fish and chips. We originally called and were told that they were packed and unlikely to be able to take any more customers so we went to another place that was also packed and had a two hour wait. So we decided to physically come to Tidewater and put our names down - however when we arrived the place was half empty (?!) and we were seated right away! Just odd what we were told over the phone. Anyways, we ordered the seafood platter because we thought flounder fish and chips was different from the usual cod (we ordered an extra flounder filet and it was huge). The flounder was really good and they weren't over breaded. The shrimp were a bit heavy on the breading and nothing to write home about out. The oysters were pretty good as well. Son felt like pasta so we got a shrimp scampi too - tons of large succulent shrimp in their scampi. The service was A+++ Our waitress was very helpful on ordering and stopped by to check on us multiple times. Other staff also stopped by to check on us too! read more

THE BEST PLACE FOR SEAFOOD IN MYRTLE. Take your money and get a reservation (it can fill up fast) at Tidewater. My family wanted to go back the next DAY we ate here, it was genuinely so fresh when it came to the seafood, the hushpuppies the BREADING on the fried fish platter is out of this world. Seriously I will be reminiscing on our shrimp & grits (must order this buttery goodness) and the fried fish platter. This place is legit and I wish I could take it back to Oklahoma with me. Ask for Lindsay! She is sweet & played along with my dad's jokes. Well done Tidewater! Amazing! Highly recommend! read more
