Top Best American Restaurants in Long Bay

"Found just a 2-minute walk from the resort’s front door, this family-friendly restaurant known for serving up some of the Grand Strand’s top burgers can be reached via a short stroll up Ocean Boulevard. In addition to its fresh-grilled gourmet burgers (which are available in beef, turkey, chicken and veggie varieties, all with a long list of toppings to choose from), River City Café offers hand-cut fries, massive homemade onion rings, and a wide selection of fresh salads, sandwiches and more."

"This local chain, repeatedly named “Best of the Beach,” is known for two things: its tasty burgers and its family-friendly atmosphere. There’s only one thing to say after you try the OMG burger—which tops two beef patties with hickory-smoked bacon, Swiss and cheddar cheeses, lettuce, tomato, mayo and fried onion strings, stuffs it all between two fried egg and cheese sandwiches, and puts two giant fried onion rings on top—and that thing is “OMG."

"River City Cafe provides a great meal at a great price, with seven locations in Myrtle Beach. It has the best burgers on the beach, homemade onion rings, fresh seasoned fries, fresh salads, and more. River City Cafe is the perfect spot for the whole family."

Popular main courses range from Low Country crab cakes, a variety of fried seafood, garlic crab claws, and grilled or blackened catch of the day."
