Local’s Corner: Top 5 Restaurants in North Myrtle Beach and Little River

January 20, 2016

SeaBlue is among Myrtle Beach's finest restaurants

Myrtle Beach and Pawleys Island have restaurants with higher profiles, but the eateries in North Myrtle Beach and Little River can certainly take their place alongside the best area has to offer. Without further ado, here are the best restaurants the North Strand has to offer.  

– Tucked away in Little River, just yards from the North Carolina line, Chianti South delivers great Italian food. The veal piccata, stuffed peppers and shrimp and scallops fradiavola are among the many winners on the menu, leaving you with a full stomach when you play your next round at one of the many Myrtle Beach golf courses. 

Greg Norman’s Australian Grille has long been a staple of North Myrtle Beach’s fine dining scene, and that isn’t likely to change anytime soon. If you don’t believe me, try the char-broiled Brisbane seasoned filet on a bed of sautéed onions and mushrooms. It's not coincidence that a restaurant with a golfer's name calls Myrtle Beach home. 

Midtown Bistro, which specializes in lunch and dinner, has burst onto the scene is the No. 1 ranked restaurant in NMB, according to Trip Advisor. All the fish on the menu is locally caught and everything else is homemade. The food is wonderful and the prices are reasonable, as the most expensive item on the menu – the filet of ribeye – is only $27.99, saving you money during your Myrtle Beach golf trip. 

Parson’s Table, which calls an old Baptist Church home, is the No. 1 rated Little River restaurant on Trip Advisor and the place oozes character. A winner of the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, you can hardly go wrong on a menu that uses local ingredients to create classic and Coastal Carolina favorites. 

– If you are looking for an upscale dining experience, SeaBlue Wine Bar and Restaurant should be near the top of your list. According to OpenTable.com, the wine list has been among the top 100 in America for three years running, and SeaBlue uses only the finest ingredients. You pay for what you get, but if you are in search of great food, SeaBlue won’t disappoint. This restaurant is sure to make your Myrtle Beach golf trip one to remember.
