2 Best Restaurants in Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand, South Carolina

It's a heavenly experience at this Little River staple housed in an old country church that dates back to 1885. Renowned chef-owner Ed Murray Jr. brings the finest steaks and local seafood and produce to the table. You'll be praying for more after you try Murray's marvel of meats, like prime rib and braised short ribs. Stained-glass windows add to the charm.

This local favorite serves dishes that give traditional cooking methods and ingredients a new twist. The former 1930s grocery store now offers a fine dining experience with wood floors, framed French posters, and cozy fireside seating. Diners indulge in large portions of fish, seafood, beef, and lamb cooked over an oak-burning grill. Behind Frank's is the casual (but still pricey) Outback, a lush candlelit garden with a huge stone fireplace. Enjoy a before- or after-dinner drink at Outback's bar. Heaters will keep you warm in winter.
