I write a fair amount of reviews and I seldom give 5 stars, but this place was amazingly special.
Stopped by for a late lunch one Monday (3 pm). Since parking in front of the restaurant is limited, we parked in the Walmart nursery / landscaping lot behind Greg's and walked the dirt path to the front of Greg's. The restaurant was only about a third full if that. Lots of staff on hand in anticipation of the evening Spring Break crowd I suspect.
Greg's was recommended to us by some guys at the local Moose Lodge (about a mile away). They're known mainly for the burgers and ribs we were told, so I decided to order the Monday Special hamburger platter ($10.50). Wife ordered the Cheeseburger Salad ($12). (See attached photos.)
It was a surprising treat to be asked how we wanted our burgers cooked; a good indication they would be big & thick... and they were. One of the best burgers I've ever eaten... served with a slice of onion, lettuce, tomato and dill pickles on a nice size bun. I think they may have added a little mayo too, but can't recall. I added some mustard, but nothing else. Perfect.
The steak fries that came with the platter were also thick & delicious and seemed to be cut fresh, with the skin left on the potato I believe.
For an appetizer we tried the soft pretzels (2) with cheddar cheese dip ($6.50). The pretzels were coated with butter or oil and were quite good, though the dip was somewhat lacking (not bad, just not that great IMO).
The cocktails were reasonably priced ($6) so my wife ordered an Orange Crush (made with orange-flavored vodka, orange juice, triple sec and Sprite or Orange Soda). She LOVED it.
The service at Greg's was equally outstanding. The abundant wait staff will stop by different tables to see if customers need anything so you aren't dependent on just your one waitress when you want to order an extra drink, the check, etc. During the 30-40 mins we were in Greg's, we never had more than 5 mins pass without someone stopping by to see if we needed/ wanted anything additional. That type of attention is virtually unheard of in establishments these days. We were wowed.
In fact, we were so impressed with the restaurant, we purchased a souvenir Greg's T-shirt (just $15) to remember it by when we returned to Virginia later that week.
Needless to say, next time we're in the Garden City area, we're definitely going to Greg's again.
P.S. Greg's offers a 10% discount on most items to military &...

Read moreWe had a fantastic dining experience at Greg's Cabana Bar & Grill during our recent visit to Murrells Inlet. Located right on Highway 17, this laid-back spot delivers exactly what you'd hope for from a casual beachside bar and grill. What We Ordered We tried several entrees including: Boneless Wings - These were perfectly crispy and hand-breaded on the outside with tender, juicy chicken inside. The sauce selection was impressive, and they weren't skimpy with the portions. The wings had that perfect balance of flavor and heat that keeps you coming back for more. Buffalo Chicken Salad - This was a pleasant surprise! The salad was fresh and generously sized, topped with chunks of flavorful buffalo chicken that had just the right amount of spice. The lettuce was crisp, and the other toppings were fresh with a generous portion of blue cheese crumbles! It's a great option if you want something a bit lighter but still packed with flavor. French Fries - Simple but executed well. The fries were golden, crispy, and seasoned just right. They made the perfect complement to our meal and you can choose from a variety of dipping sauces - I recommend the cheese sauce! Overall Experience The atmosphere at Greg's Cabana strikes that perfect casual, beachside vibe. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the food came out quickly. Portions were generous and the prices were fair for the area. This is clearly a local favorite, and after our visit, we can see why. Whether you're looking for a casual lunch spot or a place to grab some wings and watch the game, Greg's Cabana delivers solid food in a relaxed setting. Would we return? Absolutely! We're already planning our next visit to try their famous burgers and ribs that we heard so much about. Recommended for: Casual dining, families, groups looking for good bar food, anyone wanting a laid-back meal near the...
