Myrtle
beach, South Carolina is a party town and a favorite during spring break. Even if you are visiting with the family, however, there are plenty of good places to eat. In fact, Myrtle Beach is known among locals just as much for great food as for great
beaches. Whether your preference is for Italian or Chinese, burgers or subs, cheap or expensive, Myrtle Beach can satisfy your cravings.
Angelo's Steak and Pasta
Perhaps the best place in town to order chicken Parmesan alongside a tender and juicy rib-eye. Although the word "Italian" is in the name and tomato-based entrees are on the menu, Angelo's is most famous for what some call the best steaks in town.

Fiesta Del Burro Loco
You can't find a more delicious Mexican pizza in town for less money. What sets this Mexican restaurant above the many other Mexican establishments in Myrtle Beach is the enormous portions at a great price.

E. Noodles
There are numerous Asian restaurants in Myrtle Beach, but E. Noodles has developed a reputation that makes it stand out from the rest. The menu features favorites from Thai, Chinese and Japanese cuisine like Thai pineapple chicken, Chinese lo mein, and spicy Japanese udon noodles. For an entree a little closer to home, try the grouper, which the locals rate quite highly.

Atomic Pizza
Plenty of places in Myrtle Beach and surrounding communities for pizza, just like any other American town. There is just something really special about Atomic Pizza, however, that sets it apart. It's like stepping back in time away from the homogenized franchised pizza chains and entering into the kind of pizza joint that used to be the only one or two in town. The names of the pizzas even get in on the theme: the Mushroom Cloud, the Nuke and the Manhattan Project.

Applewood House of Pancakes
If you've a bit of the adventurer in your, wake up and start the day with the Applewood's popular crab omelets. If you've always wondered why southerners go on about grits, try the cheese grits. The Applewood is truly a house of pancakes, but even if you don't like pancakes you can find something interesting and enjoyable on the menu.
