What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the freshness of the seafood, with favorites like the crab cakes, shrimp and grits, and blackened mahi-mahi getting top marks. The friendly service and cozy atmosphere make it feel like a local favorite, even for first-time visitors. Diners also appreciate the reasonable prices and generous portions, and many mention it's a spot they return to every beach trip.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests have noted that the restaurant is a bit tucked away, so it can be tricky to find on your first visit—especially if you're in a hurry to catch a show. And while the seafood is the standout, the non-seafood options are more limited, so picky eaters might want to check the menu ahead of time.

With its fresh seafood, welcoming atmosphere, and quick service, Tidewater Grill is a smart—and tasty—choice for concert-goers in North Myrtle Beach.
