One if not "THE BEST"meals my wife and I have had. Everything was PERFECT! Simply WONDERFUL!I am local to the Inlet and I pass this place everyday and never stopped but I had a taste for steak AND seafood tonight and when I Googled "The BEST STEAK near me" this place showed up so I quickly glanced at the reviews and pictures of the food and the wife and I headed out for a early evening dinner.I ordered Oysters Rockefeller as a starter as I have been on a kick lately as if I see Oysters Rock on a menu I always order it but seriously, this by far was the BEST Oysters Rockefeller I have ever had in my life! I can't put in words just how good this was but now as I type this review I'm thinking I may just order a to-go tomorrow as I'm craving more, these were simply fantastic and a very special dish.Looking at the menu my wife and I could not decide between the Ribeye or the filet so we agreed to order both and split them, what a wonderful idea as I can't say what one was best and both steaks were incredible! My wife and I both agree these steaks were fantastic and perhaps the BEST STEAK WE HAVE HAD! Both were cooked to perfection and the seasoned butter on one and the cream sauce on the other put this meal over the top...Then we get to the people working this fine place...All of my family including my wife and children all work locally in the Restaurant industry as living in a Greater Myrtle Beach Grand Strand resort area with over 2,400 restaurants its simply what one must do...We know the good, the bad and the ugly of the restaurant business so with that in mind, we can say this staff was over the top wonderful!It all started with our super nice and kind hostess / greeter, she was such a nice lady and she kept dropping over just to check on us, very nice lady! then our server... She was so pleasant and professional and did a wonderful job taking great care of us tonight. Then I assume the manager worked the tables and room with a smile and was so nice checking on use and that we were happy but when you get great service and one if not the best meals of your life, how can you not be happy?I found this location nice! We had a great view of the inlet with a choice to sit inside or out but we sat in a booth with a large picture window on a beautiful late afternoon enjoying this special Inlet that I am so Blessed to live in and be a part of.For some reason the outside of this building has been easy for me to pass buy and not stop, perhaps the bland grey paint? the name ? I dont know, but once inside I found this place was very clean, nice view, simply had a good feel and vibe about the place! Bottom line I was able to relax, I was very comfortable and was able to have one if not the best meal experiences of my life!We arrived early on a Friday night and had no wait time and our food was served fast, food was hot, well plated and all the staff had a smile!My compliments to the entire staff at American Steak and Oyster Bar from the front of house to the back as I can tell everyone is striving to accomplish exactly what we received tonight...A perfect meal and a perfect experience!We will be back...

Excellent food and service. We bring all of our out of town guests here and have never been let down. The steaks and ribs are phenomenal. I wish more people would give it a second chance now that it is under new ownership. It really is one of the most underrated places on the marsh!

This place is great. New owners, smaller menu which means chef takes pride in all his dishes. We visited last week with family and will definitely go back. The new owner Bob and his staff especially Abi were great. He came out to talk to us and make sure we were happy. If you visited previously before March of this year, please give another try. Our meal was fantastic especially the fried mozzarella. Never had it cooked that way!

This place is not only GORGEOUS, but you will experience customer service you never had. I booked a reservation of 7 SO LAST MINUTE and still they took us in. The food - I can’t even put into words how PHENOMENAL it was. So much quality and value. Please visit this place if you are in town. You WILL NOT regret it. Hope to come back this week.
Nichol Hare
Enjoyed the atmosphere of this restaurant. Service was great. The steak would have been the best (imo) with some butter and garlic added. Sides were great. While our daughter's chicken tenders were overcooked to her liking, they made it right by remaking them AND taking off the bill. We will visit again if we are in the area.

We’re so happy we stumbled onto American Steak and Oyster Bar. We originally were looking for a place in the very popular and busy area. It was way too crowded for us, so we started driving north. Less then a mile north, we saw American a Steak and Oyster Bar and it appeared to be less intense and hectic. They saved our evening. The service was awesome. Our server was all smiles and handled everything for us. We had a couple special requests and they got every one of them right. The food was great too. Our group ordered ribs, steak, stuffed flounder, fried seafood basket and the Low Country Cioppino. Everyone was happy with their meal. The portions were large and the shrimp, scallops and flounder were large as well. We all had a great meal!

Food was amazing, service was good and it was very peaceful. Modern Industrial decor with a beautiful water view but away from all the noise and crowds of the Marshwalk. Definitely going back and booking for a few groups. Steve the bartender and Abby our waitress were great!

We simply cannot say enough good things about our experience at this restaurant in Murrells Inlet, SC!The food was amazing and the service was impeccable. We arrived shortly before closing and the staff treated us as if we had arrived at opening time. My 9 year old absolutely loved her shrimp basket and insists we return soon.The restaurant is very clean and we couldn’t have asked for better service, food, or atmosphere.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu available, drinks with lids and straws provided for kids.

Came in on a Saturday night with my date and barely anyone in there. Server forgot to ring in our app and we were glad at the end she forgot because our dinner was horrible. My crab cake was charred black on the bottom. My date asked for butter for his shrimp and it was grease from a pan or frier brought to our table.
Do yourself a favor and visit this restaurant! Excellent service, and phenomenal food! Our meals were presented beautifully and were cooked to perfection! I’m convinced every menu item is outstanding. Highly recommend you give American Steak and Oyster bar a try, you won’t regret it! Best meals We have had in this area in a long time
Melissa Canney
What a treat to eat here a second time and have the same amazing experience! The food is absolutely amazing and such a great variety. Steak cooked to perfection, fresh, pan seared scallops and perfectly seasoned veggies! The risotto was also so delicious. What a beautiful atmosphere as well…right on the water. The service was too notch and you can tell the folks there truly care about the customer’s dining experience.Safe yourself the hassle of the touristy spots on the marsh walk and go around the corner to American Steak and Oyster…you won’t be disappointed!
Martha Davies
We got to the restaurant right as they opened at 4:30 and were seated on the patio. It was a beautiful day and the perfect spot for a relaxing dinner by the water.Our server (Chelsea) was really attentive and sweet and took great care of us.We were there for happy hour and got a dozen of the happy hour oysters. They were so good we ordered another dozen! We also ordered the crab stuffed flounder, the delmonico steak, the key lime pie, and the brownie (we were there to seriously eat ?). Everything was delicious and we will definitely return when visiting the area again.

Absolutely incredible. Going to be the first place I recommend to all friends and family for their stays in Myrtle Beach. I got the shrimp po boy and it was more like a subway foot long the thing was so big! The views were incredible, staff was extremely friendly. My only recommendation would be some nice lighting on the back patio.
