how to do Myrtle Beach. Right let's dive into all
(00:45):
things Myrtle Beach. But right now we're going to talk
about a beachfront, dining and relaxation. Because when i want
to go to the beach, that's what I'm thinking. I'm
thinking beachfront tiki bars and restaurants and dining and relaxation.
That's what i want. I don't need high falute and
(01:06):
stuff you know, all the time. Maybe once when I'm
at a beach vacation, but most of the time, I
just want to find the beach, and I want to
find places to eat and drink on the beach. That's
why I love a good tiki hut, you know, And
then I want to relax. What's wrong with that? That's
what it's all about. So having explored the diverse coastal
pathways and scenic routes of Myrtle Beach, Myrtle Beach, Myrtle Beach,
(01:30):
it's time to indulge in another facet of coastal enjoyment,
beachfront dining. Right the rhythmic crash of the waves provides
a constant, soothing soundtrack to your meal. I mean, I'd
also like to have, you know, maybe a steel drum
band or something in the background. You know, maybe some
kind of beach music. That would be cool with me too.
(01:53):
So Myrtle Beach both a remarkable array of restaurants in
cafes offering breathtaking ocean view catering to a wide range
of tastes and budgets. From the casual beach front eateries
serving fresh seafood to upscale establishments with gourmet menus and
impeccable service, there's something for every ballot. Let's start with
(02:15):
the with some casual doting options, perfect for a relax
of lunch or a light dinner after a day spent
in the sun. Sounds good to me, doesn't it. Many
beachfront hotels and resorts include casual restaurants offering simple menus
featuring fresh seafood, burger, sandwiches, and salads. What else do
you really need? These are generally affordable priced, and don't forget,
(02:40):
generally have a full bar. Raging, raging and ranging. You
might be raging. If you don't get to eat, you
might go into a rage. But this is ranging from
fifteen to thirty dollars per person. Expect options like grilled
shrimp with mango salsa, classic fish and chips, juicy with
(03:00):
all the fixings. The quality it can vary, Okay, that's
just being true. But the unbeatable ocean view often, you know,
compensates for any minor shortcomings. Look for places with outdoor
patios directly on the sand. That's amazing. The ambiance is
(03:23):
simply unparalleled. Often these establishments offer happy hour specials. I'm
in making them even more attractive. I know that we're
talking about the view, making it a compensation for the
food not being that great. So living in Charleston, South Carolina,
there's there's Sullivan's Island, there's al of Palms, and al
(03:43):
of Palms has restaurants on the beach, I mean right
there on the ocean, and every one of them has stunk.
I mean it's all about the view and the drinks.
But lately, or or I guess about four or five
years ago, we had a restaurant come in on iop
(04:04):
as we call Al Palms and it's amazing. So this
where you need to go. If you come into al
of Palms, a little bit south of Myrtle Beach. I
know I'm off topic. You need to come to Costa
because it is absolutely amazing. So moving up the culinary ladder,
Myrtle Beach offers a selection of mid range restaurants offering
(04:27):
a more refined dining experience. It's a little bit more
than McDonald's, right, and it's not going to break the bank.
These might feature locally sourced seafood, innovative pasta dishes, or
carefully crafted steaks. Expect to pay between thirty and sixty
dollars per person for a satisfying meal plus your drinks.
(04:49):
In this Myrtle Beach, you're gonna want a few drinks.
For example, you might find a restaurant featuring pant searge
gallops with lemon butter sauce. That sounds really good. A
grilled swordfish steak with roasted vegetables and the swordfish is
great when it's done absolutely right. Or a creamy seafood
pasta dish. Yeah, but then I'm going to have a nap.
(05:10):
The menus often incorporate seasonal ingredients, ensuring freshness and variety.
Many of these establishments have beautiful interiors with large windows
offering panorampic ocean views, and that of course compensates for
the food quality. I'm just kidding. Not in every place,
not Mortal Beach, or even outdoor seating areas with fire
(05:31):
pits for a cozy atmosphere during cooler evenings like tonight.
I think it's down to like thirty three. Reservations are
often recommended, particularly during peak season, and I said this
a million times, save yourself a hell of a lot
of trouble. Pick up the phone and make a reservation.
Or if you're a nice hotel there's a concierge, go
(05:52):
have them do it. I mean don't go there and
stand in line and then be turned away, because you're
just going to get ticked off and it's going to
leave a bad take in your mouth. Literally for a
truly memorable dining experience, Myrtle Beach also presents a choice
of higher end restaurants that offer an unparalleled level of
sophistication and culinary artistry. These establishments typically feature extensive wineless property,
(06:19):
properly strained, strained, and you know what, in season they
probably are strained, but trained staff. The menus showcasing innovative dishes,
prepare with the finest ingredients. Expect to pay upwards of
sixty dollars per person, and if you get some wine,
it's going to be upwards of one hundred dollars person
(06:40):
and potentially much more depending on your choices. This is
the place to indulge in a luxurious seafood platter featuring oyster, shrimp,
crab legs, lobster, or perfectly cooked full at Yes, I'm
in with truffle mashed potatoes. It's like I'm ordering right now.
The ambiance in these restaurants us is usually elegant and refined,
(07:02):
with stunning ocean views on something with some of them
serving the perfect backdrop. Service is generally impeccable, with attentive
staff assuring your every need is met. These restaurants are
perfect for special occasions and adversaries, simply treating yourself to truly
memorable culinary experience. I like to eat at a place
(07:26):
like this when I want to. If I'm going to
Myrtle Beach, Okay, I'm going to eat at a place
like this once a week, that one time in my stay.
If I'm there for seven days, I'm going to eat
here one night, and I'm not taking the kids. It's
just my wife, and now that's our little date night, right.
I think that's certainly feasible, and that would be my night.
(07:48):
So beyond the full service restaurants, Myrtle Beach's beachfront scene
also incorporates charming cafes and snack bars. These offer a lighter,
more casual fare, ideal for a quick bite or refreshing
while enjoying the sun. These might feature ice cream parlors,
coffee shops, or smaller cafes serving sandwiches, pastries, light snacks.
(08:09):
Prices generally arrange from ten to twenty dollars, so let's see.
Imagine indulging in a freshly baked croissant with a strong cappuccino,
which you might need after a night out in Myrtle
Beach while watching the waves roll in, or grabbing a
refreshing ice cream cone on a hot summer day. You
(08:32):
better eat it fast. These smaller establishments add to the
vibrant and diverse culinary landscape of Myrtle Beach, offering a
convenience and affordability. To illustrate the diverse culinary landscape, let's
examine a few specific examples. The Sea Breeze Bistro is

a midrange restaurant known for its innovative seafood dishes and
romantic atmosphere. I just ate my dinner so you can
tell there. Venue typically features dishes such as pan sered
mahi mahi with a coconut curry sauce, shrimp scampy with linguini,
and a grilled swordfish steak with citrus glaze. It's prices
(09:15):
range from thirty five to fifty dollars per person and
excluding drinks and tip. It always excludes drinks. Right Ocean
Front Grille, on the other hand, provides a more casual
dining experience with a focus on American classics and fresh seafood.
Expect burger, sandwich, is, salad, seafoods. Their price is generally
(09:35):
run from about fifteen to thirty dollars per person. I've
been there. It's a fun place to go. For a
luxurious experience, consider the Coastal Cove, a fine dining restaurant
offering upscale menu featuring exquisite seafood and international cuisine. They
boast an extensive wine list, an impeccable service. You're looking
(09:56):
at over one hundred dollars. Just let's just say it
right right now, that's the way it's going to be.

it does exist. So be aware. So enjoy what you
can enjoy. So take your time to explore the many
options available and save with the delicious flavors and stunning
scenery that Myrtle Beach has to offer. Remember to factor
(11:08):
in cost of drinks, tax and tip when budgeting, right,

bottles of wine and that's more than your dinner. I'm
not suggesting anyone do that, but maybe I am. So

I really do. Every time I've been there, I've had
a good time the food. Do you a little bit
(11:51):
of research on the restaurant, look at the reviews and
look at like ten or fifteen of them to make
sure they're consistent. That's all I'm going to say the
most is just go to Myrtle Beach and have a
dag on good time. Take the family. So much to do.
So that's what I got on Myrtle Beach today. We're
gonna dive a little bit deeper into it next time.
