Overview
Theme Restaurants
Themed restaurants in Myrtle Beach feature immersive dining experiences, enticing menus, and built-in entertainment for adults, kids, and groups. Eating out on vacation is always a treat, whether you’re in a coastal destination with fantastic seafood restaurants or in a city known for its fine dining establishments. If you’re looking for something new, the theme restaurants in Myrtle Beach pull out all the stops with costume-clad servers and over-the-top ambiance.
Myrtle Beach is home to unique themed restaurants you won’t find anywhere else, including Riga Tony’s, Pirate’s Table, and DinoLand Café; being escorted to your table past a pool filled with live mermaids and hearing the roar of a giant T-Rex as you dine makes any meal memorable. But you’ll also find popular nationwide theme restaurants in Myrtle Beach, like Margaritaville, Hard Rock Café, and Dick’s Last Resort.
Book a table at Pirates Voyage or Medieval Times, two of the best theme restaurants for kids in Myrtle Beach, to make dinnertime an experience your family won’t forget. Couples may prefer spending an evening solving a murder mystery over a plate of manicotti at Riga Tony’s or sipping an imported brew between bites of schnitzel at a biergarten. Several themed restaurants in Myrtle Beach are excellent options for groups, if you make a reservation beforehand: Pirate’s Table Buffet, Polynesian Fire, and other themed dining venues in the Grand Strand are no strangers to hosting birthday parties and gatherings.
Whether you’re planning to surprise the kids with dinner at a pirate-themed restaurant in Myrtle Beach or enjoy an afternoon in Vienna, eating out will be a highlight for everyone. Choose your oceanfront hotel in Myrtle Beach and start planning an incredible trip that includes all the best Grand Strand attractions and a meal or two at any of these themed Myrtle Beach restaurants:
Medieval Times
