After a great round of golf, nothing hits the spot quite like a great meal—and in Myrtle Beach, options abound. Stretching from Georgetown, SC to Wilmington, NC, the Grand Strand offers more than just world-class golf; it’s also a culinary destination full of variety, flavor, and Southern hospitality. Whether you’re celebrating a birdie-filled day, grabbing a quick bite between rounds, or sitting down for a leisurely dinner, the Myrtle Beach area delivers.
From seafood shacks to upscale steakhouses, food trucks to waterfront bistros, there’s something here for every appetite and every kind of golf traveler.
Fuel Up Before or After Your Round
Many golf facilities throughout the area include on-site grills, pubs, or cafés where you can grab a hearty breakfast before your tee time or unwind with a cold drink and a sandwich after the 18th hole. These clubhouse staples are convenient and often offer scenic views of the course, making them a popular hangout for both locals and visitors.
Casual Coastal Dining
If your group prefers a laid-back atmosphere with great food and no dress code, you’re in luck. The Grand Strand is loaded with casual eateries that serve up everything from burgers and tacos to fried seafood and pizza. These spots are perfect for post-round recaps and are often located just minutes from top courses and lodging.
Many are family-friendly and large-group-friendly, making them ideal for golf crews, couples, and families alike.
Fine Dining and Date Night Favorites
For those looking to elevate the evening, Myrtle Beach has no shortage of upscale dining experiences. Enjoy fresh-caught seafood, prime cuts of steak, or internationally inspired cuisine in elegant settings—many with water views or cozy coastal ambiance. These establishments offer the perfect environment for a couples’ night out or a well-earned reward after a long day on the course.
Hidden Gems and Local Favorites
Beyond the beachfront and boardwalks, there’s a deep bench of locally owned restaurants and hidden gems tucked into neighborhoods, marinas, and historic districts. These are the places where visitors become regulars and menus reflect the local flavor—sometimes literally. Don’t be surprised to find pimento cheese on a burger, shrimp and grits on the breakfast menu, or house-made hushpuppies with every plate.
Something for Every Palate
No matter your taste or dietary needs, Myrtle Beach has it covered. From health-conscious cafes and smoothie bars to smoky barbecue joints and all-you-can-eat buffets, the diversity of dining options matches the diversity of the golf courses themselves. There’s a place for a quiet solo lunch, a raucous team dinner, or a romantic sunset meal.
In Summary:
Golf isn’t the only thing done right in Myrtle Beach. With hundreds of places to eat—each offering their own vibe, flavor, and flair—finding the right spot to match your appetite is part of the fun.
