Top Best American Restaurants in Surfside Beach

"For “The Best Burgers on the Grands Strand,” take the kids to River City Cafe, located on Ocean Boulevard just steps away from the famous Myrtle Beach Boardwalk. Enjoy the waterfront views, and the lively atmosphere of the boardwalk as your kids chow down on tasty and unique burgers such as the “Cheeto Burger” (yes, it has real Cheetos), the “Fried Mac and Cheese Burger,” and the “Peanut Butter Burger."

"With 7 locations throughout Myrtle Beach, River City Cafe can’t be missed. With over 25 different burgers on the menu, options like the Cheetos Burger and the Peanut Butter Banana Burger push the boundaries of food expectations. Rave reviews on TripAdvisor, Yelp, and Google suggest that this odd culinary trip isn’t just great food but a must-have experience."

"Named for the legendary pirate that once sailed along the creeks of Murrells Inlet 400 years ago, Drunken Jack’s is casual, but with an eye on fine Lowcountry cooking prepared by trained chefs. Specializing in seafood dishes, Drunken Jack’s also has a full line of steaks, chicken and prime rib. You’ll think you’re being fancy, but then comes the hushpuppies with honey butter, and you’ll know you’re just one of Jack’s family."

"A lively eatery with a superb and varied menu, this charming establishment is packed with memories and history, including the curious view of goats and peacocks sitting on an island just outside. The story is, of course, part of the experience."

"Gulfstream is the only restaurant in Garden City Beach overlooking the ocean on one side and Murrells Inlet on the other and, fortunately, the food lives up to the view. Recommended starters include the onion loaf (a mass of fried onion rings with bleu cheese dip), kicky N'Awlins shrimp served atop a crispy fried grits cake, she-crab soup and oyster shooters. Popular main courses range from Low Country crab cakes, a variety of fried seafood, garlic crab claws, and grilled or blackened catch of the day."
