We met friends for lunch. My burger was very juicy and tasty! I appreciated the size of the patty, it wasn’t too big or too small. Service was terrific!
The burger was amazing. I would rate this place as one of my top spots for getting a burger. I had the burger with spicy dill pickle potato chips on it. I do have to warn you not to go here if you are a germaphobe or peanut allergies. The tables outside are slightly sticky and even though I watched them clean it just doesn't look clean. If you can get past a slightly dive bar look for amazing food, then I highly recommend.
Wow! This place has an awesome view of the Beach and Ocean The burgers and the onion rings and Blooming onions are huge and delicious,The service was fast. Great place to go with a view!! And a long pier is right next door where you can get ice cream and walk out on.
10/10 Best burger in Myrtle Beach. The outside seating area provides a view of the ocean and the Garden City pier. Must visit if you're in the area looking for a good burger and fries!
The service here was great, depending where you sit you can have dinner with a view and watch the ocean. The food is delicious here and the drinks are well made. Recommend for anyone looking to grab a bite to eat before you go to the ocean, when you're leaving the ocean, or if you just want to enjoy the beautiful view right from your dinner table.
The atmosphere was fun - reading signatures and notes on walls- the view of the beach was mesmerizing! Onion rings were freaking delicious! Service was on point!
We went twice during our week stay! The first night we had the sweetest server, though they were out of a couple of things we wanted. I got shrimp and my partner got a burger, app if gravy fries. All were delicious! The sweet potato fries were super good! The second night we seemed to have more apathetic staff working but the food was still delicious and the drinks (they were in stock of their frozen drinks this time) were delicious!! Definitely the best choice for dining by the pier! We'll be back next time!
This was our first time visiting... Our attendant Jess was Awesome!!! She constantly made sure that we were taken care of and that our food was correct. I think this will be a new stop for us when we travel to Myrtle Beach.
