Golf Zoo Top Myrtle Beach Steakhouses

Top 3 Myrtle Beach Steakhouses-

There aren’t many things better than a beautiful day on a golf course where you’re hitting it straight off the tee, are consistent with your irons and draining a few birdie putts along the way.

One of the few things that come close to the pleasure of a perfect golf day is a juicy steak, paired with a cold beer.  Are you getting hungry yet? We are!

If you’re planning on taking a golf trip to Myrtle Beach, then you’re in luck because the Grand Strand has no shortage of places to dig into a mouth-watering piece of steak.

Now, if you want to get a truly great steak, take our advice and check out one of the three Myrtle Beach-area steakhouses below.

Greg Norman Australian Grille

When a restaurant has the name Greg Norman in it, you better believe we are going to recommend it to a golfer!

On top of being owned by Norman, this restaurant is truly one of the best steakhouses in Myrtle Beach. Located at Barefoot Landing, Greg Norman Australian Grille not only features a 5-star menu, but a great atmosphere that makes you feel like you are “Down Under.”

As we love all their steak options (Filet Mignon, Ribeye and Wagyu Flank Steak and Black Angus Prime Rib), you can pair them with the vegetable of the day and a baked potato and you won’t be upset. Just don’t eat too much bread when your server brings it to start you out – be sure to save some appetite for the main course!

Ruth’s Chris Steak House

While Ruth’s Chris Steak House may be a familiar name to you, this restaurant deserves to be on this list.

Located at the Marina Inn at Grande Dunes, Ruth’s Chris is a popular pick for any golfer staying at Grande Dunes. With a diverse menu and top-tier cuts of beef, you can’t go wrong with this mainstay.

If you’re in the mood to go crazy, we recommend the Tomahawk Ribeye. This USDA Prime bone-in, 40-once Ribeye is well worth the hefty price tag. You and your buddies will marvel at the sight of your server delivering this savory slab of meat to your table.

21 Main Steakhouse

If price isn’t a problem for you, drive over to 21 Main in North Myrtle Beach.

These steaks are fantastic, and we especially recommend the New York Strip. Many who’ve tried it say it’s the best they’ve ever had, and we’d be hard pressed to argue. Get a side of garlic whipped potatoes and you’ll be in heaven (or a food coma!).

Did you just call your wife and tell her you want steak for dinner? We’re thinking the same thing!

Locals Favorite Restaurants - Myrtle Beach

After living in Myrtle Beach for almost 12 years, I think I can call myself a local. In no particular order, here is a list of some of my favorite restaurants in the area. Some of these you have probably heard of, others probably not. Either way, I think you will enjoy them all.

Hog Heaven – 7147 Ocean Highway, Pawleys Island

If you like Barbeque (Barbeque Pulled Pork if you aren’t from the south), you have to try Hog Heaven. They have some of the best BBQ I have ever had. The seasonings and sauce that they use are awesome. You can order off of the menu, enjoy their buffet, or get it to go.

Ultimate California Pizza – multiple locations along the Grand Strand

Ultimate California Pizza (UCP) is not your ordinary pizza place. You won’t find New York Style or Chicago Deep Dish here, but what you will find are some great innovations in pizza. Some of my favorites are the San Francisco Pizza (Filet Mignon), the Hollywood (Meat Lover’s), and the Buffalo Chicken (Hot Wing Pizza). If you aren’t feeling pizza, they also have some really good subs, sandwiches, wraps, and salads. My favorite is their Roasted Chicken Wrap, which comes wrapped in a fresh baked flatbread.

Mr. Fish – 3401 N. Kings Highway, Myrtle Beach

Mr. Fish is a really good seafood place. It’s not your normal sit down type of place, it is kind of a hole in the wall, but the staff is friendly and the seafood is really good. It seems like no matter what time of the day you are there, you will see “Mr. Fish” or his daughter taking care of things. I recommend trying the Fish Tacos, Crab Cakes, or Blackened Ahi Tuna. Right next door to the restaurant, they also have a seafood market where you can pick up all sorts of things.

Tilted Kilt – 1317 Celebrity Circle, Myrtle Beach

Tilted Kilt opened at Broadway at the Beach in the summer of 2011 and is going strong. Picture Hooters Restaurant mixed with an Irish/Scottish Sports Pub. The result is good food, good beer, and good looking girls waiting on you while you watch the game or play some billiards. Did I mention they are wearing small kilts and even smaller shirts? Not a bad place to drink a pint or two.

Rioz Brazilian Steakhouse – 2920 Hollywood Dr., Myrtle Beach

Rioz Brazilian Steakhouse is just that, a Brazilian Steakhouse. While it is fairly expensive, it is well worth the price. When you are seated you are each given a round card with green on one side, and red on the other. “Gauchos” walk around with skewers of meat that when you have the green side of your card showing, they will come to you and offer you fresh cuts of the meat. When you flip the card back over to the red side, they will let you eat in peace. Rioz also has a great selection of hot and cold items on their salad bar, but make sure to save some room for the meats. They offer more than 15 of them, including beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and fish. Enjoy!

Luigi’s Trattoria – 503 61^st Ave N., Myrtle Beach

Luigi’s offers some really good Italian food. Veal, Chicken, or Eggplant Parmigiana, Homemade Gnocchi, Shrimp Scampi, and a whole lot more. Luigi’s has a nice atmosphere and you will usually see at least a few Italian families enjoying their cuisine while you dine. Make sure to save some room for their Tiramisu, it’s one of the best that I have had in Myrtle Beach.

The Best 1-2 Combo on a Myrtle Beach Golf Vacation

Whenever I take a Myrtle Beach golf vacation, I make sure to get down to Pawleys Island, which not only has some of my favorite courses along the Grand Strand (Caledonia, True Blue, the Heritage Club) but also some of my favorite Myrtle Beach restaurants.
The best one-two dining combination I've found is at Louis's at Pawleys (louisatpawleys.com) and the adjoining Fish Camp Bar, located on Highway 17 in the Hammock Shops specialty shopping/dining village.
Both feature the Lowcountry cooking of chef/owner Louis Osteen, one of the leaders of New Southern cuisine and named best chef in the Southeast in 2004 by the James Beard Foundation.
Osteen put himself on the map with restaurants in Charleston, but I'm glad he came back to Pawleys Island, where, in 1980, he began his efforts to popularize the indigenous food of the region. continued...
