So much for the mountains on to the beach......

Next stop was North Myrtle Beach. Lots and Lots of choices. Restaurant row is what it's called. The first night we ate at Martinis. What a nice nice experience. The new owner greeted us and seated us. The server eventually came over but the wait was way too long. And so the night progressed....we waited and waited. Thankfully, the drinks were cold and the food was exceptionally good -- Steak Diane for me...yum. Repeat visit: Definitely.

Another good choice was Benitos also on the main drag. It reminded me of an old fashioned Italian pizzeria type place. The line was long and the place totally casual but the food was totally basic and the prices so low. Very typical of a place like this, the waiter was also a fun friendly guy. Repeat: YUP

35 miles south of Mytrle we found a really good small chain breakfast place called Eggs Up Grill. Crowded was not the word but they had an unbelievable seating method complete with headphones and lists. We were promised a 20 minute wait but in actuality it was over an hour. Once seated the service was so good and our breakfast was hot and tasty. My only complaint was the coffee was like dishwater -- very very weak. Otherwise, if you spot one of these places in SC be sure to stop. It was well worth the wait. Extensive menu, fresh ingredients, hot food, great service. YES YES YES

A big DO NOT GO was on the main drag in Cherry Grove. It was called: Crab Shack
Long wait, robot like "slam the food down" service, dark and dreary, dirty, food was crap and drinks totally horrible too. I cannot find one redeeming thing about this place. Totally BAD tourist. DO NOT GO...HORRIBLE.

My daughter said that her experience at Dick's was wonderful. Seafood so fresh and good service. Try that one too.
