So fulfilling - western omelet-French toast- and orange juice. Food came out fast and our waitress was a sweetheart-you go girl-. If i lived around here I would definitely come for breakfast as many times as my check permitted. :) nice place to eat people try it out!

This place is the best with many healthy options and huge menu. It is our favorite breakfast place in MB. The portions are very large and coffee is great. Service was wonderful. Besides having healthy side alternatives on their regular menu, they also have a pre and post workout menu with fresh fruits, low carb, and gluten free options. But you can also find many rich and wonderful breakfast treats too. It is a perfect spot for diversified foodies. Also the service was amazing. Ask for Yulia. She is beyond fantastic!

If I could give them more stars I would. We needed a gluten free menu and it was absolutely delicious......pecan pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes, not just in the batter but generously sprinkled on top, too. Also, we had a pet, so we ordered it to go and ate outside in the garden area. The shaded garden is not meant for dining but we were thankful they let us eat there! We visit a couple times a year and this will be our go to breakfast place from now on!

Have been to this place twice during vacation. The food is delicious and the service is wonderful. An odd thing about myrtle beach- everything is moist from the ocean and the intense humidity. This place is clean and DRY! A remarkable feat considering the location. I highly recommend stopping at this mom and pop chain (3 locations) at least once.

Our favorite breakfast spot every time we are in Myrtle Beach! Staff is great & efficient, food is well portioned and priced fairly (compared to NYC). All veggies taste fresh and delicious! Parking can be a pain if you go between 9-10am; so 10:30-11am works well for us as the traffic slows down.

I'm giving this review based on food quality. It was absolutely terrible...so much so, I almost wrote the kitchen staff a note. Our poor waitress. ..I could see in her eyes how much slack she was getting from the kitchen which rippled onto her overall demeanor. The problems with our meal were not her fault, however it was obvious she was getting the heat. I spoke to our hostess which was also our cashier and she fixed our bill accordingly. If I could leave a review solely based on service...well, I just felt bad for our waitress so I would give her 3.5 because I know that she knew the menu and would have been more friendly if the kitchen wasn't giving her a hard time and the hostess was very friendly and efficient.

You cant beat their prices. They have a great breakfast selection from a small meal to a huge one. I wasn't very hungry when I came here so all I got was egg, cheese and ham on a biscuit and it was good and the best thing was the price under $3. I got to try my friends chocolate chips pancakes and they were good a bit too sweet for me but I'm not into sweets especially early in the morning.

I was SO surprised by the quality of the breakfast here, I expected it to be a greasy diner but it was SO delicious and healthy! They have a special menu, geared towards athletes. It was called the Triathlon menu or something along those lines. On one side it was all "pre-workout" meals that have a lot of healthy, long-sustaining carbs. On the other side it was a "post-workout" menu with higher protein options. So many healthy options on both sides, I was floored! I got the special healthy option of the day which was a quinoa-granola french toast. It was sooooo good... super healthy, not too sweet at all. Crunchy on the outside and soft and spongy on the inside. Very happy with this place, i would definitely go back and recommend it.

Janessa S.
Our waitress Darlene was very friendly and on point. She definitely deserved the tip we gave. The food came out in less than ten minutes and was hot. The complimentary hot syrup was just enough and set the pancakes and waffle off. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the entire experience. Would definitely visit again.

Through all of the breakfast places in Myrtle Beach, Hot Stacks will always be my favorite. I've been going here on every trip for several years now, and everything is always delicious. Wether I'm getting waffles, French toast, biscuits, etc, I always enjoy breakfast here. But, the best thing is the pancakes! They are thick, golden, and super good, especially covered in chocolate chips, glazed strawberries, or another topping. Hot Stacks also offers gluten free pancakes, and a menu with healthier options for a more active lifestyle. Service here isn't amazing and occasionally the wait staff can be kind of flaky. But, generally speaking, everyone is nice.

T W.
Not bad...not great. They process a lot of people through here. Seems really busy so it obviously isn't too bad. The food is fair for the price, just nothing memorable. In looking for specifics, I asked for my hash browns to have onions and be very well done (crispy). They arrived minimally cooked, as is the standard evidently because no one else seems to mind eating soggy potatoes. Same thing with the toast. I wouldn't necessarily avoid the place next time, it just wouldn't be my first choice.

Arlette W.
I was so disappointed. I am not hard to please and I was looking for a very simple breakfast. I had the breakfast bowl with sausage, egg, cheese and grits. I had one pancake and coffee to go with it. I liked nothing. Pancake was cold, syrup container was SOOOOO sticky all over and stuck in a bowl. Egg bowl was ok but was cold. Cheese did not melt. Coffee, just plain nasty. I will not eat here again and very sorry I chose this place. Leaving hungry. Oh, I forgot, found hair in my food. Huge disappointment!

No real "wow" factor. Taste like your regular diner in the city... My husband and daughter ordered chocolate chip pancakes. It was three pancakes with chocolate chip tossed on top??

I love Hot Stacks mainly because they have gluten free pancakes, that are simply amazing. Every time I'm in Myrtle Beach, I have made it a requirement to visit one of the Hot Stacks locations. I visited this location three times the week of July 4th due to being there for a dance competition. The first and third server were great. The third was the best of them all. She helped me figure out the cheapest way to order all the food I wanted (something the 2nd waitress did not do). The restaurant has a large dining area, so you never have to wait for a table, and if you do it is less than 5-10 minutes. The food was great. They have an extensive amount to choose from, and also have lunch foods as well. I can't wait to go back!

Quint B.
Incredible prices for the food. I got the Breakfast Quesadilla, and for 7.50, I got a lt more than I expected. The server was also very nice and I will enjoy coming here again when we visit family.

Peter P.
Food was good but a bit pricey for my tastes. 1 piece of toast costs $1.89 and every upscope/substitutes my friends and I wanted costed the full price like an extra side order. Bottom line, substitutes are not extra items on the plate; you're replacing something that you're going to get with something else. You might as well get the regular plate and order the "substitutes" as a side order because that way, it'll cost the same and you'll have more on your plate.

Jim O.
Yeah, I'd eat here again if I'm ever in town again. Nothing fancy. Atmosphere is maybe somewhere between Denny's and Shoney's and it's clean. There can be a wait, especially on a Sunday mid-morning, but it seems to move quickly enough. The food? Well, it's not upscale and fancy; but the pancakes were every bit as good as an IHOP and they got my eggs right. For a place that seems to mimic a combination of other popular restaurants, they get it right. The staff is friendly enough and the food was good. If you're looking for a good place to grab breakfast, this place would be a solid option.

Amy M.
Loved the variety of the menu. There is something for everyone! I enjoyed a mushroom & spinach egg white omelette and a whole grain pancake, and my son enjoyed a traditional eggs, bacon, grits, and pancake breakfast. We will definitely be back!

Amazingly fast service. Restaurant was beautiful and super clean!! Food was delicious, especially the biscuits and gravy!

If you like being nickeled and dimed for everything then this is your place. Do not take kids here, brutally expensive for a less than average meal. Small portions, cheap sausage but the coffee is solid. Second time here, finally learned my lesson.

Chris P.
Stopped back in this morning as we were heading home...I had the eggs Benedict with option B, turkey and avocado....I highly recommend this one! Turkey was moist and over easy eggs were perfect! A great breakfast for the road...

Erica H.
A cheap hot breakfast with friendly service. The french toast was very good, thoroughly dipped with no dry patches! I also enjoyed the thick, greasy bacon! My hubby ordered a big stack of pancakes and nothing was leftover at the end of the meal. Expect reasonable prices and a 'hometown' feel.

Billy S.
Nothing especially great about Hot Stacks but it's breakfast! Service was terrific and the food quality was excellent. Real bacon. Not the floppy microwaved stuff a lot of places are pushing these days. I will definitely go back next time I'm in town!

Hot stacks was very clean meat lovers omelet was massive side order of sausage was ok and pancakes were alright.

Mandy N.
Food was alright. I've had better pancakes, but they got the job done! My husband and I shared the chocolate chip and mine were a little cold. The server offered us hot syrup, which balanced the temperature out. We also shared a ham, egg, and cheese wrap, which was pretty bland. We were under the impression that salsa came with it, but none showed. Coffee was your standard diner coffee. I wasn't really wowed, but out waitress was pretty good!
(3)
Jay F.
It's a solid Shoney's/Denny's style place but with better food, good portions and cheap. They must cater towards golfers with names like "golfer's platter" and "golfers's combo" on the menu. And there's nothing else to say about it.

Ali M.
Went here on our last day of vacation before driving back home. It was the highest ranked breakfast place I could find nearby. It was good but not great. A lot like a small Denny's or IHOP but less of a selection. The pancakes are very good. I like more of a selection in a breakfast joint though... there weren't a lot of combination options so I had to add a side of bacon to my order, which gets expensive. It does serve breakfast until 2pm, which is something I like since I like to sleep in on vacation and take my time getting out to breakfast. All-in-all not bad but not fabulous. If your hotel doesn't offer breakfast and you're looking for something quick and easy, this is just a good a place as any.

Donald M.
Great service, great food, great price. Tourists and locals, it seemed to me, equally were at the joint. No frills, just straight up. Crepes surprisingly good.

Courtney R.
This is really difficult, as I now know I hate Myrtle Beach. But guiltiness-by-association aside, this place is decent for breakfast. One thing I love about the south is that biscuits 'n' gravy are everywhere, including here. I got the southern Benedict, which was biscuits with sausage patties and gravy and eggs on top. The sausage was pretty bad--I didn't eat it--but the rest was decent. Prices are good. You could eat here for under $5 if you're not picky. Service was above average. Normally, I'd say I'd return, but since I'm never setting foot near Myrtle again it's really not an option.

Dwane L.
Clean and reasonably priced. Pancakes were good, the gravy was outstanding. Staff were very nice. I'd eat here again with no hesitation at all!

Very fast service for breakfast. Waitress was friendly and prompt. The Hot Stack omelette was huge and very good. Coffee was served fresh with a pot on the table method. They have a very large menu similar to a Perkins or Ihop. Only thing is, they don't take American Express.

Hot Stacks has 3 Myrtle Beach locations. This one is clean, comfortable, and quick on the service. They run specials all the time, so check in if price makes a big difference. Breakfast choices include Pancakes, Eggs, French Toast, and a few interesting ones like an egg and sausage quesadilla. All the breakfasts run about $7 or so. One of the great things about Stacks - the put a FULL SIZE urn of hot coffee on the table- so you don't have to crane your neck around constantly to catch a waiter and get a coffee refill. Just pour it yourself. Open early morning for golfers and travelers, they stay open until 1:30 in the Summer. You won't discover any "world's best breakfast" here, but it is fresh and decent food. Good for kids and families or any size group.
(3)
Brandis P.
Decent pancake place, a previous posters mentioned a step up from Dennys or iHop. But the price point makes this a better than average rating especially when feeding a family of 4. Definitely worth going to when in town when a cheap breakfast is warranted with a lots of menu choices.

I'm sorry that someone suggested the biscuits and gravy on here. In an attempt to mask the disgusting taste they doused it in pepper. The milk was warm and the bacon was barely cooked. My husband had a turkey and swiss omlet with grits... He said "It was ok, kinda what I would expect. Your gravy tastes like sucking on a pepper shaker". Do I need to tell you that I didn't finish my meal?

When I'm in Myrtle Beach, this is my Sunday spot with my local friends. Consistently good service, very good food and a reasonable price keeps the locals coming back. There might be a wait on the weekend mornings, but its a good sized place and its never much of a wait. Think of it as a better Denny's with fluffy hot stacks or pancakes, great egg and hashed brown dishes, an excellent Club Sandwich, and the southern Sweet Tea is very good. I go in with my friends, and everybody knows their names. This of course is not a 5 star restaurant, but ratings here are for quality of service, food and overall value. I miss my mornings at Hot Stacks!

Kevin N.
Great breakfast place. I went with my girlfriend, and we were both very impressed with the great variety. Coming from Maryland, we don't have many places that serve Peach Waffles and Apple Pancakes. My girlfriend ordered the Peach Waffles, which had an amazing texture profile. The waffle had just enough crunch while the peach and the glaze were phenomenal. I ordered the Pancakes with Strawberry, which were decent. The sliced strawberries were fresh. However, the pancakes had some resistance for something that should've been so easy to bite into. Not IHOP level, but they're decent. We also ordered sides of corn beef hash and a biscuit, both were excellent. The biscuit especially, only 89 cents for something so large and fluffy. Very comforting environment, great food, friendly service. A must try in Myrtle Beach!

Janneke P.
The amount of food you get for the price is amazing. I had a vegan sandwich - the fact that they have vegan sandwiches at all is excellent - and it was enjoyable. I'd eat here again.

Visited from NYC ..these pancakes were awesome.so was the french toast and the servers were very nice..this place was sooo busy on Sun morning and we had just a short wait. Loved it

Decent breakfast but horrible value. Breakfast for two was around $30. Could have gone to a much better place. Perhaps it was the expensive watered down coffee. French toast was pretty good. But again, better to go to Denny's because the quality is the same. Seems Coffee for two and Orange Juice for one was nearly $8....and it wasn't even average.

Miranda F.
Good solid pancake place. Menu items were suspiciously similar to another place we visited. Even in the same exact order. This spot had better service and executed better. I had the breakfast club and it was very yummy.

Super fast service and typical diner fare. A bit greasy, but that's to be expected! Best grits i've had in a long time and fresh fluffy eggs. Our waitress was a real sweetheart. Perfect road fuel for the long drive home to PA!

I was happy for the pot of coffee. This gesture allows me to refill my cup on demand. Good move. The food, however, was a disappointment. I visited this locations a few times last year and the food was always hot and good. I wanted to update my review, but didn't have one. So here goes. This week I ordered the whole grain pancakes. They were listed as part of the daily special so I figured, why not? I also ordered sausage patties and two eggs over hard. The pancakes were just bad. I took a bite and knew immediately but tried to be a good sport and took another bite but that was my limit. I sent them back. The sausage patties were overcooked and the over hard eggs were fried eggs. My granddaughter loves the white part when the eggs are prepared properly. She didn't eat any because the yolk was broken. I was very disappointed and thought my check was way too high for breakfast for 4 including one child. Doesn't matter, I won't be back this year and maybe not next. The person they have cooking back there needs a checkup. Our waitress was nice but she was overworked because the place was so busy.

Got there on a Saturday morning around 8:00am and were seated right away. Not very crowded so it was nice. Staff was friendly and attentive. Food came out VERY fast which was great cause we were hungry! My boyfriend and I both enjoyed our meals, he had pancakes with sausage which he said wasn't spectacular but was good. I had a Belgian waffle with egg and bacon. My over medium egg came out over hard/well done but my bacon was perfection. We'd return if we wanted a quick easy breakfast. I'd say its a good place to stop if your open to anything and aren't too picky :)

Ew, gross. I had hope since this place seemed to be busy. The food was cheaply made and not good at all. I had French toast, bacon and potatoes. King street is peppered with pancake houses. Don't waste your time with this one.

Just average food. The waitstaff is super attentive, the owners however are rude and mean. Berated waitstaff for under charging another table thirty cents and our waitress seemed terrified of the owner.

People of color beware!! Walked into this establishment with my family and was looked at as if they saw a ghost. The waitress tried to seat my family way in the back of the restaurant, mind you we were there before 7am, so we passed by several tables that were in the front. I told her that I will not be sitting my family in the back and that we would take seating up front. Needless to say, we walked out. Another ignorant establishment that refuses to embrace diversity.

Friend had a greek omelet and it was a bit overcooked but the grits & additionsl side of grits were perfect. I had steak & veggies. If the steak was a ribeye they need a new meat supplier, ordered mid rare but it was pounded so thin it was well done. No way of cooking it any way other than tartare. The fried squash melted in my mouth literally. Stick with breakfast. I had planned on ordering eggs benedict but $10 for 2 poached eggs, a muffin and hollandaise from knorr swiss packet more than I wanna spend. The service was good and the best possible appeared to be done with the food. We normally eat at the N.M.B. location or Golden Griddle. First & last time, no second chance for this one. The rating needs to read $$ or even $$$ the specials are only a buck or two less than the full menu. 2 people w/tax with water & 1 coffee $24.87. Tipped her more than 15% but $25 is high for me. Plenty of other places it was also about $8.00 more than the N.M.B. store. Myrtle Beach needs Northern style affordable diners or go back too the pancake houses of twenty + years ago.

No wait..hostess came right up and seated our party..we ordered Golfers egg/pancake special with sausage patties...Deluxe french toast with bacon...western omelette/ ham,cheese,onions/peppers. 3 10oz Oj's Let me just tell ya....We were ALL happy campers while eating...then rolling out of our seats! : ) The breakfast menu is pretty big'.....Lunch looks to be good too.

Food was good but a bit pricey for my tastes. 1 piece of toast costs $1.89 and every upscope/substitutes my friends and I wanted costed the full price like an extra side order. Bottom line, substitutes are not extra items on the plate; you're replacing something that you're going to get with something else. You might as well get the regular plate and order the "substitutes" as a side order because that way, it'll cost the same and you'll have more on your plate.

Great place to bring the kids. Food was what it should be and the staff was great!
(3)Kyle S.
Fantastic food! At a very reasonable price. The service was ok, would have been much better had she at least attempted to smile. But, aside from that, a very awesome place!
(4)Ryan B.
Huge fan! Great pancakes, huge omelets, hot coffee and we had great, great service.
(4)Jim O.
Yeah, I'd eat here again if I'm ever in town again. Nothing fancy. Atmosphere is maybe somewhere between Denny's and Shoney's and it's clean. There can be a wait, especially on a Sunday mid-morning, but it seems to move quickly enough. The food? Well, it's not upscale and fancy; but the pancakes were every bit as good as an IHOP and they got my eggs right. For a place that seems to mimic a combination of other popular restaurants, they get it right. The staff is friendly enough and the food was good. If you're looking for a good place to grab breakfast, this place would be a solid option.
(4)Amy M.
Loved the variety of the menu. There is something for everyone! I enjoyed a mushroom & spinach egg white omelette and a whole grain pancake, and my son enjoyed a traditional eggs, bacon, grits, and pancake breakfast. We will definitely be back!
(5)Jamie O.
Amazingly fast service. Restaurant was beautiful and super clean!! Food was delicious, especially the biscuits and gravy!

If you like being nickeled and dimed for everything then this is your place. Do not take kids here, brutally expensive for a less than average meal. Small portions, cheap sausage but the coffee is solid. Second time here, finally learned my lesson.
(1)Chris P.
Stopped back in this morning as we were heading home...I had the eggs Benedict with option B, turkey and avocado....I highly recommend this one! Turkey was moist and over easy eggs were perfect! A great breakfast for the road...
(5)Erica H.
A cheap hot breakfast with friendly service. The french toast was very good, thoroughly dipped with no dry patches! I also enjoyed the thick, greasy bacon! My hubby ordered a big stack of pancakes and nothing was leftover at the end of the meal. Expect reasonable prices and a 'hometown' feel.
(4)Billy S.
Nothing especially great about Hot Stacks but it's breakfast! Service was terrific and the food quality was excellent. Real bacon. Not the floppy microwaved stuff a lot of places are pushing these days. I will definitely go back next time I'm in town!
(4)Amanda L.
We visited this place twice while vacationing. Food was good, service was quick and efficient, prices were fair.
(5)Ryan C.
Hot stacks was very clean meat lovers omelet was massive side order of sausage was ok and pancakes were alright.
(4)Mandy N.
Food was alright. I've had better pancakes, but they got the job done! My husband and I shared the chocolate chip and mine were a little cold. The server offered us hot syrup, which balanced the temperature out. We also shared a ham, egg, and cheese wrap, which was pretty bland. We were under the impression that salsa came with it, but none showed. Coffee was your standard diner coffee. I wasn't really wowed, but out waitress was pretty good!
(3)Jay F.
It's a solid Shoney's/Denny's style place but with better food, good portions and cheap. They must cater towards golfers with names like "golfer's platter" and "golfers's combo" on the menu. And there's nothing else to say about it.
(3)Ali M.
Went here on our last day of vacation before driving back home. It was the highest ranked breakfast place I could find nearby. It was good but not great. A lot like a small Denny's or IHOP but less of a selection. The pancakes are very good. I like more of a selection in a breakfast joint though... there weren't a lot of combination options so I had to add a side of bacon to my order, which gets expensive. It does serve breakfast until 2pm, which is something I like since I like to sleep in on vacation and take my time getting out to breakfast. All-in-all not bad but not fabulous. If your hotel doesn't offer breakfast and you're looking for something quick and easy, this is just a good a place as any.
(3)Donald M.
Great service, great food, great price. Tourists and locals, it seemed to me, equally were at the joint. No frills, just straight up. Crepes surprisingly good.
(5)Courtney R.
This is really difficult, as I now know I hate Myrtle Beach. But guiltiness-by-association aside, this place is decent for breakfast. One thing I love about the south is that biscuits 'n' gravy are everywhere, including here. I got the southern Benedict, which was biscuits with sausage patties and gravy and eggs on top. The sausage was pretty bad--I didn't eat it--but the rest was decent. Prices are good. You could eat here for under $5 if you're not picky. Service was above average. Normally, I'd say I'd return, but since I'm never setting foot near Myrtle again it's really not an option.
(3)Dwane L.
Clean and reasonably priced. Pancakes were good, the gravy was outstanding. Staff were very nice. I'd eat here again with no hesitation at all!
(4)Dung N.
Good service. Our waitress was quick and attentive. The food was good for a diner type place. No frills and straight to the point. Brother enjoyed his omelette and my mother and I enjoyed our pancake deluxe meals.
(4)Mrs. R R.
Average mom n pop pancake place. Our bacon was rancid and the pancakes were flavorless. Denny's would have been better. Staff was fast and polite.
(2)Geniece H.
Worse pancakes! U could get better food at Denny's
(1)Mike L.
One of the better breakfast spots we visited down here. But that's not saying a whole lot. Food was decent. Nothing groundbreaking or over the top. Service was friendly. Pretty standard breakfast.
(3)Julie P.
Great place, great food I loved it.
(5)Rich B.
Came here based on reviews ....it's nothing special Im still waiting for ketchup I asked for......Grrrr
(2)Kristal H.
Waitress was great! We are a family of 5 with 3 little kids and it was great. My kids loved the pancakes.
(4)Joe D.
Very fast service for breakfast. Waitress was friendly and prompt. The Hot Stack omelette was huge and very good. Coffee was served fresh with a pot on the table method. They have a very large menu similar to a Perkins or Ihop. Only thing is, they don't take American Express.
(4)Rich L.
Hot Stacks has 3 Myrtle Beach locations. This one is clean, comfortable, and quick on the service. They run specials all the time, so check in if price makes a big difference. Breakfast choices include Pancakes, Eggs, French Toast, and a few interesting ones like an egg and sausage quesadilla. All the breakfasts run about $7 or so. One of the great things about Stacks - the put a FULL SIZE urn of hot coffee on the table- so you don't have to crane your neck around constantly to catch a waiter and get a coffee refill. Just pour it yourself. Open early morning for golfers and travelers, they stay open until 1:30 in the Summer. You won't discover any "world's best breakfast" here, but it is fresh and decent food. Good for kids and families or any size group.
(3)Brandis P.
Decent pancake place, a previous posters mentioned a step up from Dennys or iHop. But the price point makes this a better than average rating especially when feeding a family of 4. Definitely worth going to when in town when a cheap breakfast is warranted with a lots of menu choices.
(4)Tyler B.
From out of town... very delicious. Fast service, accurate order, friendly staff. Wish I lived closer
(5)Vincent S.
Great Pancakes and even better French Toast. I was visiting from Maryland. It was better than homemade!
(5)Bill L.
Nice breakfast place. Food was very good and the service was great. Nice place for a family breakfast.
(3)Tiffany X.
I'm sorry that someone suggested the biscuits and gravy on here. In an attempt to mask the disgusting taste they doused it in pepper. The milk was warm and the bacon was barely cooked. My husband had a turkey and swiss omlet with grits... He said "It was ok, kinda what I would expect. Your gravy tastes like sucking on a pepper shaker". Do I need to tell you that I didn't finish my meal?
(1)Jim A.
When I'm in Myrtle Beach, this is my Sunday spot with my local friends. Consistently good service, very good food and a reasonable price keeps the locals coming back. There might be a wait on the weekend mornings, but its a good sized place and its never much of a wait. Think of it as a better Denny's with fluffy hot stacks or pancakes, great egg and hashed brown dishes, an excellent Club Sandwich, and the southern Sweet Tea is very good. I go in with my friends, and everybody knows their names. This of course is not a 5 star restaurant, but ratings here are for quality of service, food and overall value. I miss my mornings at Hot Stacks!
(5)Kevin N.
Great breakfast place. I went with my girlfriend, and we were both very impressed with the great variety. Coming from Maryland, we don't have many places that serve Peach Waffles and Apple Pancakes. My girlfriend ordered the Peach Waffles, which had an amazing texture profile. The waffle had just enough crunch while the peach and the glaze were phenomenal. I ordered the Pancakes with Strawberry, which were decent. The sliced strawberries were fresh. However, the pancakes had some resistance for something that should've been so easy to bite into. Not IHOP level, but they're decent. We also ordered sides of corn beef hash and a biscuit, both were excellent. The biscuit especially, only 89 cents for something so large and fluffy. Very comforting environment, great food, friendly service. A must try in Myrtle Beach!
(4)Janneke P.
The amount of food you get for the price is amazing. I had a vegan sandwich - the fact that they have vegan sandwiches at all is excellent - and it was enjoyable. I'd eat here again.
(4)Danielle X.
Visited from NYC ..these pancakes were awesome.so was the french toast and the servers were very nice..this place was sooo busy on Sun morning and we had just a short wait. Loved it
(5)Kevin Z.
Decent breakfast but horrible value. Breakfast for two was around $30. Could have gone to a much better place. Perhaps it was the expensive watered down coffee. French toast was pretty good. But again, better to go to Denny's because the quality is the same. Seems Coffee for two and Orange Juice for one was nearly $8....and it wasn't even average.
(2)Miranda F.
Good solid pancake place. Menu items were suspiciously similar to another place we visited. Even in the same exact order. This spot had better service and executed better. I had the breakfast club and it was very yummy.
(3)Angie G.
Super fast service and typical diner fare. A bit greasy, but that's to be expected! Best grits i've had in a long time and fresh fluffy eggs. Our waitress was a real sweetheart. Perfect road fuel for the long drive home to PA!
(4)Michelle B.
I was happy for the pot of coffee. This gesture allows me to refill my cup on demand. Good move. The food, however, was a disappointment. I visited this locations a few times last year and the food was always hot and good. I wanted to update my review, but didn't have one. So here goes. This week I ordered the whole grain pancakes. They were listed as part of the daily special so I figured, why not? I also ordered sausage patties and two eggs over hard. The pancakes were just bad. I took a bite and knew immediately but tried to be a good sport and took another bite but that was my limit. I sent them back. The sausage patties were overcooked and the over hard eggs were fried eggs. My granddaughter loves the white part when the eggs are prepared properly. She didn't eat any because the yolk was broken. I was very disappointed and thought my check was way too high for breakfast for 4 including one child. Doesn't matter, I won't be back this year and maybe not next. The person they have cooking back there needs a checkup. Our waitress was nice but she was overworked because the place was so busy.
(2)Danielle G.
Got there on a Saturday morning around 8:00am and were seated right away. Not very crowded so it was nice. Staff was friendly and attentive. Food came out VERY fast which was great cause we were hungry! My boyfriend and I both enjoyed our meals, he had pancakes with sausage which he said wasn't spectacular but was good. I had a Belgian waffle with egg and bacon. My over medium egg came out over hard/well done but my bacon was perfection. We'd return if we wanted a quick easy breakfast. I'd say its a good place to stop if your open to anything and aren't too picky :)
(3)Kelly A.
Ew, gross. I had hope since this place seemed to be busy. The food was cheaply made and not good at all. I had French toast, bacon and potatoes. King street is peppered with pancake houses. Don't waste your time with this one.
(2)Cindi V.
Just average food. The waitstaff is super attentive, the owners however are rude and mean. Berated waitstaff for under charging another table thirty cents and our waitress seemed terrified of the owner.
(3)Ashley M.
Solid place to have breakfast. Fast and accurate service. Delicious pancakes and bacon-husband had a wrap that he enjoyed.
(4)Ryan M.
Been here twice since we have been here on vacation. Food is great staff is friendly and the prices aren't bad. I reccomend
(5)Antonia B.
People of color beware!! Walked into this establishment with my family and was looked at as if they saw a ghost. The waitress tried to seat my family way in the back of the restaurant, mind you we were there before 7am, so we passed by several tables that were in the front. I told her that I will not be sitting my family in the back and that we would take seating up front. Needless to say, we walked out. Another ignorant establishment that refuses to embrace diversity.

Friend had a greek omelet and it was a bit overcooked but the grits & additionsl side of grits were perfect. I had steak & veggies. If the steak was a ribeye they need a new meat supplier, ordered mid rare but it was pounded so thin it was well done. No way of cooking it any way other than tartare. The fried squash melted in my mouth literally. Stick with breakfast. I had planned on ordering eggs benedict but $10 for 2 poached eggs, a muffin and hollandaise from knorr swiss packet more than I wanna spend. The service was good and the best possible appeared to be done with the food. We normally eat at the N.M.B. location or Golden Griddle. First & last time, no second chance for this one. The rating needs to read $$ or even $$$ the specials are only a buck or two less than the full menu. 2 people w/tax with water & 1 coffee $24.87. Tipped her more than 15% but $25 is high for me. Plenty of other places it was also about $8.00 more than the N.M.B. store. Myrtle Beach needs Northern style affordable diners or go back too the pancake houses of twenty + years ago.
(3)Tiana P.
No wait..hostess came right up and seated our party..we ordered Golfers egg/pancake special with sausage patties...Deluxe french toast with bacon...western omelette/ ham,cheese,onions/peppers. 3 10oz Oj's Let me just tell ya....We were ALL happy campers while eating...then rolling out of our seats! : ) The breakfast menu is pretty big'.....Lunch looks to be good too. I know this much MY STACKS WERE HOTTT! ; )
(4)Heather W.
We went here for breakfast. The food was good and well priced. Our server (Betty) was super nice and helpful.
(5)Jay J.
Solid stop for brunch and with $5.99 pork chops, I had little to complain about. The food was good, service adequate, and value fantastic. The clientele seemed a bit on the old side but that may have just been the time of the day.
(4)Janet C.
Closer to a 3.5 stars... French toast was yummy. Coffee was decent. Hubby and kid throught the pancakes were good. Bacon was crispy. Orange juice was not too pulpy. Good breakfast all around.
(4)J J.
Only reason I give them 2 stars is Bc of fast seating. Over priced. Never going back...would not refer.
(2)Jessica H.
My absolute FAVORITE breakfast place of all time, anywhere!! Love that they have vegan, gluten free and other health conscious options. Most places that have GF pancakes aren't that great. I always order the GF pancakes with banana, chocolate chips and pecans. To. Die. For.
(5)Tiffany S.
Meh.........nothing special....food was cold and just basic. The hubby did enjoy the cinnamon raisin french toast tho'......friendly staff.
(2)Ellen P.
Went here for a last minute breakfast on a Saturday morning, great food and good service. Reasonably priced as well
