But there’s more to this beach town than flashy attractions. People gotta eat, too.
Yes, there’s a Waffle House on every corner. Everybody needs their iconic comfort food sometimes. Myrtle Beach has so many more options, though. From hidden gems like Barrel, a bar where people “enter as strangers but leave as friends,” to Johnny D’s Waffles, whose breakfast concoctions are addicting, there are so many places that make our food scene unique.
So, we asked Grand Stranders to tell us their favorite local spots to hit up.
Here are some of the places they shared. May new locals, longtime residents and tourists alike find something new. (Bear in mind that this list is in no way complete or perfect. Got one you think we should feature? Email [email protected] and let us know.)
