18 Best American Restaurants in Surfside Beach

“We love everything about Dagwoods.“

“We go to California dream and frequently the last two times have been not our favorite times the first time I ordered the ribs salad coleslaw my husband said he wanted the same thing and the waitress questioned what I had ordered and he confirmed that's what he wanted, what he got was two racks of ribs instead of one so I told her you know this is OK. We got two racks. Next thing I know she comes over with a plate takes her hands and picks up the top rack on my husband‘s ribs and put them on the plate. I said don't worry about it will pay for it. We'll just take it home. She said no now it was my fault I said if you're gonna throw it away, she said oh no the staff will eat it. I was in such shock. I didn't know what to do. The past time we were here was last night. It was not busy and yet the waiter was pushing and pushing and pushing us to order pushing us to get our bill never asked if we want dessert my husband I ordered dessert. He brings the bills our other friends want coffee, but couldn't grab him before he ran off so we had to redo his bill. I just felt like we were very much rushed for no reason whatsoever sorry for the bad reviews. it's generally our favorite place to go, and we have been terribly disappointed the last two times.“

“I want to thank Southern Chicken for providing a delicious Thanksgiving meal for my 3 yo granddaughter and I. She loved the dressing & gravy. Thank you so much“

“Surfside Charlie’s is an amazing place for a relaxed, affordable evening with GREAT service - Bill, our waiter was amazing! Have been coming here for a few weeks and plan to tell all our friends. The food, service, and atmosphere are fabulous! Thank you for this welcome change to Myrtle Beach dining. We are deeply grateful.“

“We come here every trip! The service is always great and they give you the most bang for your buck! Highly recommend!“

“Fun atmosphere, great organization, friendly staff, good food, hot crab legs brought to bar continually. Even waiting in line is entertaining. 🎶 Eating at Crabby Mike's has been a consistent family tradition for my wife and our kids for over 10 years. I do caution, if you have small children afraid of large costumed characters, there is a friendly pirate that shows up and walks around. Keep your eyes out and distraction is key. 🦀🫶🏻“

“Just a great local place AND it’s almost football season - GO TEXANS!!!!“

“UNCommon Meet and Eat Monthly Lunch enjoyed a tasty salad and baked potato buffet. All comments from attendees were positive! Service was great!“

“Wes and his dad have done an amazing job at bringing Honey Baked Ham to Surfside Beach. From the cleanliness of the new location- to the freshness of all of the ingredients- it is on point! Highly recommend the Honeybaked sandwich and the BBQ smoked stacker. If you think this is just "another sandwich shop" be sure to try their whole hams for the holidays. Will be returning!“

“Always great food and great service! We cannot recommend this place enough!“

“Stopped and decided to give this place a try and SOOO GLAD WE DID! We had the pancakes special with bacon and we added scrambled eggs on the side. It was AWESOME! The pancakes were fluffy and cooked just right along with the rest of the meal. Eggs are REAL eggs and not powdered eggs. Coffee was on point. They bring out real cream for your coffee. Seems to be family-owned. Everyone was there to serve and give you a great experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Everything is homemade!!! The owner is nice! The cheesesteak and the chili dogs are the best we have ever eaten!! We are definitely coming back!!!“

“Great food, excellent service!! best fried catfish“

“Service is excellent. Friendly staff.“

“The food and prices are very good. It was just a little confusing when we arrived. There was no sign that said seat yourself (or we missed it) so we were kind of mulling around trying to figure it out. The tables were put together so there were not any tables for 2 or 4, just 6 or 8. Eventually we figured it out (seat yourself). Generally the bands play outside, but with iffy weather they played inside. I was so looking forward to being outside, but that being said, they were excellent! The Coastal Boys Band. The food was very good and we will be visiting again. It's just a relaxing local bar with good food, good music and a laid back atmosphere.“

“Great place for gourmet burgers. Thick, juicy patties on quality buns with amazing topping options. Good sides, too, particularly the onion rings.

Dietary restrictions: Peanut allergy warning.
This restaurant serves peanuts in their shells in the dining area, and several menu items contain peanut butter.“

“First time ever my wife had been to a WH - in 70 years 😛“

“Great wings. I’m from Pittsburgh and we love our wings but couldn’t find any restaurant that could make good wings. Fat Jacks is the best on the beach. Cold beer, crispy big fat wings.“
