Lekker Eats — Restaurant in Myrtle Beach

I have had lunch here four times. The food has been very well prepared and presented and very tasty each time. I love the use of local ingredients and the chef’s creativity. I am basing the stars on my food only and my previous visits.

My guest who has a serious allergy to anything from the cow or anything that is cross contaminated from the cow had a horrible allergic response. The allergy is Bovine “ anything and everything associated with beef, this includes every dairy product including ingredients used in bread. It also includes cooking surfaces and utensils that were contaminated with beef products. We informed the server of the allergy and ordered the sandwich without cheese and changed the bread to sourdough as we were told the ciabatta had dairy products. We received our food and the sandwich had a small amount of cheese on it. The cheese had been melted and then removed as I suppose the chef realized their mistake. When we asked the server she quickly questioned whether it was an “actual “ allergy or if she just didn’t like cheese. We informed her again of this life threatening allergy, she took the food back to have remade . I suspect that the chef removed the chicken from the sandwich and replaced the bread only, as a severe allergic reaction caused an evening of excruciating stomach pain preventing us from attending a planned event that evening.

As a Chef myself for over 40 years in upscale hotels and country clubs I find it hard to believe that people don’t have the knowledge to take food allergies seriously or just doubt the authenticity of...

I was introduced to Lekker back when they were tucked away on Mayfair Street… no werewolves, don’t worry.

My favorite local attorney had an office across from their old spot, and after a closing one day, he took me there for lunch. At the time, I was still weirded out by the idea of “healthy food.” Fast forward to now—after losing 23% of my body weight through clean eating alone—Lekker is one of my go-to spots a few times a month.

Their newer, larger location just off Robert Grissom is a big step up, with plenty of space for meetings, masterminds, or just relaxing inside or out. One of my unexpected favorites? The Turmeric Iced Latte. I know, I know… it sounds ridiculous, and I definitely feel ridiculous ordering it. But it’s rich, refreshing, sweet, and tastes like the earth—in the best way. A must-try (Caution it is YELLOW)

They’ve also got a great selection of ready-to-go items for lunch, snacks, and drinks. I’m a big fan of the marathon bites (look those up… no clue what the secret recipe is, but they’re decadently good). And if you get the chance, ask for Ren—she’s awesome, full of energy, and part of what makes the vibe here so great.

Lekker Eats is healthy, energizing, clean, and fresh—everything you want in a spot that’s just minutes from the beach.

Freak them out and tell them to "Have a Lekker Day" before they get the chance on your way...

I mean 🤤 it’s hard to put into words how amazing this place this! The service was on top of it, the cook time was quick, and the food was something I’ve never experienced before. The owner, Jordan has put her time and thought into every ingredient that goes into all of her food and drinks. My favorite coffee that I can’t get enough of is the iced lavender oat latte 😍☕️ Their smoothies are incredible and hold so many nutrients, I highly suggest the Go Go Goji or Blueberry Crumble 🥤and of course onto the food… just jaw dropping good! The Thai Crunch with blackened salmon… I mean that says it all! It tastes absolutely AMAZING & so many flavors are happening in your mouth all at once. The Western Cape sandwich with gluten free bread and red wine vinegar chips has been my go to lunch for weeks! 🥪 The OBS Kitchen Pancakes have me drooling every time I go for brunch. Sweet with the raspberry compote but the pistachio crumbles give it that salty balance. 🥞 & of course their sweet treats… the chocolate chip banana walnut mini muffins calllll my name everytime they’re in the market 🍌 BASICALLY, you need to try this place and go for every type of meal! It is outstanding and I’m so thankful for the gluten free and dairy free options it provides, that are...
