My family and I had a wonderful time eating here. Our server Layton was great and very nice. The food itself was delicious, filling, and the menu was filled with a variety of delectable options. They offer free peanuts and allow you to keep your decorative cup! Such a cool atmosphere with fun decorations and lights too. I would 100% come here again the next time we visit the coast and recommend it to anyone.

Am a couple of weeks late on this. Went to the Murrells Inlet River City on December 30th. Enjoyed a really good black n blue burger! Was using a birthday reward from ToastTab and unexpectedly got a chocolate peanut butter pie ice cream for dessert. Layton was an exceptional server! Spot on service throughout the entire meal. Thank you!

We ate here on August 11th 2025! The place was pretty empty around 4pm but the staff was super friendly! Let me tell you this was by far the best burger I have had in a long time! It was a juicy bacon cheeseburger ( I chose American cheese) dressed! Fries and coleslaw were perfect also! Sweet tea was perfect also!

We haven’t had burgers this big and juicy since . . . Since we ate at their other location! Love the atmosphere! Love the car tags! And those HUGE Onion Rings were awesome! Entrance is ground level, so easy handicap access! Tables are covered with printed brown paper for kids to draw on. Also, love the peanuts on the tables, and shells on the floor.

The food was good and the prices and sizes were filling. But the service was a bit slow and the place was a bit dark. It was nice that they have paper table cloth so the kids can draw on the table. But near the end we had a roach go across the table that ruined the experience for us.

Very cool place. The waiter, yes waiter, had such a great personality. Exceedingly friendly, knew how to engage and even poke fun, without being offensive.

Awesome. This place is voted best burgers on “The Strand”, year after year.

The one in Murrels, is not exactly a hang out place, but still well worth the visit.

Oh, by the way, did I mention the prices are pretty good, too!

I’ve ate at all the River City Cafe locations and this one in Murrells Inlet is by far my favorite. Its low key and I never have to wait to be seated when I go. I love trying a new burger everytime I go. One of my favorite burger sites, ever! Always make it a point to eat at River City when I’m near one.

My favorite burger place in the area! I’m a fan of their bacon peanut butter burger. My family has been pleased with anything they’ve ordered. Staff are very nice and engages well with my son (who has special needs). They atmosphere is very laid back and a great spot for families to eat or a group of friends. Be aware that peanuts & peanut shells are a big thing so it’s 99% likely you’ll walk on shells…. and you are welcome to contribute to the shells on the floor 🙂

The service here has absolutely fallen off a cliff. You can tell something is dangerously wrong when every other restaurant in the area is booked solid and this place has the seating availability of an abandoned mall food court.

Ironically, they still couldn’t manage the four customers in the building. It looked like they were attempting to run an entire restaurant with two people and sheer optimism. Spoiler alert: optimism is not a substitute for staff.

We were seated, and from that moment on it was clear no one was coming back. No water. No greeting. No “hey we’ll be right with you.” Just vibes. After about 15 minutes of sitting there watching the staff sprint between tasks like contestants in a game show called Who Forgot to Hire Anyone, we realized we had accidentally joined a social experiment.

This is especially disappointing because we’ve been here before and it used to be great. Now it feels like a restaurant in the middle of a quiet quitting phase. I genuinely felt bad for the two people working — they were set up to fail — but as a customer, I’m not interested in paying to watch a slow-motion operational collapse.

We eventually got up and left, unnoticed, which honestly felt on brand. If you’re short-staffed, close sections, limit seating, or pause service. Don’t just seat people and hope they age into patience.

One star for the memories of what this place used to be. The rest of the stars apparently didn’t show up for their shift either.
