Carolina Roadhouse

Carolina Roadhouse is an American restaurant in Myrtle Beach, SC, serving a seafood-heavy menu alongside steaks, burgers, and sandwiches in a setting built around a centerpiece palm tree and upbeat music. Established in 1995, the restaurant has spent decades as a fixture on the local dining scene and has been named by Golf Magazine as a place to eat with buddies. The kitchen is known for giant seafood platters, thick-cut steaks, and a lump crab dip served with Old Bay pretzels, and the full menu is available for takeout.

The kitchen turns out a wide range of dishes beyond the signature platters. Starters include a chili, cheese, and onion-topped appetizer, a pound of crispy jumbo wings marinated in hot peppers and served with bleu cheese dip, a creamy potato soup layered with scallions, cheese, ham, and bacon, and a house chili topped with cheese, scallions, and sour cream and served with corn tortilla chips. Salads are dressed in house-made options like honey mustard and hot bacon, vinaigrette, bleu cheese, ranch, and thousand island, with a honey-butter croissant on the side. Entrées run from fried seafood platters with fries and hushpuppies to rosemary and thyme-crusted chicken, a broiled or blackened large-cut fish, jumbo lump crab cakes with mustard sauce, a chicken and shrimp dish blackened and baked with bayou sauce and mild queso, a 48-hour marinated 10 oz. sirloin, a 6 oz. barrel-cut filet topped with fried shrimp, crispy double pork chops, and slow-cooked 12 oz. prime rib after 4 PM and all day Sunday. Sandwiches include a New Orleans-style fried seafood sandwich on French bread, a jack cheese and bacon-topped burger, a club with ham, bacon, turkey, and both Jack and cheddar, and a foot-long kosher hot dog buried under fries, chili, cheese, and onions. The bar program lists wines from Germany and California and cocktails like a Bacardi rum piña-style drink, a Fords gin and black cherry cordial highball, and an Elijah Craig bourbon cocktail with sage, honey, angostura, and hardwood bitters.

The restaurant sits on North Kings Highway in the Oak Park neighborhood of Myrtle Beach, near Springs Park and within a short walk of Treasure Island Miniature Golf.

The longstanding Myrtle Beach restaurant has built its reputation over three decades on oversized seafood platters, marinated steaks, and a casual, vacation-style atmosphere that keeps the summertime feel going year-round.
