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

44 & King

$$ | Central Myrtle Beach

Dining extends seamlessly from indoors to the game-filled outside at this laid-back pub known for fresh takes on Southern fare, from chicken pie to shrimp with sweet potato grits. The lawn includes a boccie court and cornhole boards.

Indo Asian Bistro and Sushi Bar

$$ | North End

Owner Laura Smith is legendary in Myrtle Beach for her sushi artistry. In addition to sushi masterpieces, she creates a slew of authentic Thai noodle dishes and signature seafood creations like Coco Shrimp and jumbo soft-shell crabs. Inside, the sleek eatery is more metro than its Myrtle Beach peers. A sister location is located in Pawleys Island.

Inlet Bar B Que

When local mainstay Prosser's BBQ closed down, new owners jumped in with a rebrand, but they were wise to keep the menu and vibe the same—this ain't your four-star fine-dining eatery, and it's practically a requirement to lick your fingers clean. Lip-smacking pulled pork is served along with Lowcountry goodies like collard greens, mashed potatoes, fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, banana pudding, and peach cobbler. Most times, the line for Prosser's lunch buffet will weave outside the clapboard house after church on Sunday.

Lucy Buffett's LuLu's

If the Jimmy Buffett tie-in (Lucy, or "LuLu," is his sister) doesn't get people in the door of this festive landmark at Barefoot Landing, the on-site aerial ropes course and arcade certainly will. The open-air environment and view of the intracoastal waterway make this a place where parents can while away the afternoon with a platter of fresh seafood and a margarita while the kids harness up and swing around up in the air.
