Known for its Surf, Grand Strand Dining Scene Also a Prime Spot for Turf

Article Thumbnail Image

When it comes to dining, the Myrtle Beach area is best known for its wealth of restaurants serving fresh-from-the-ocean seafood — and for good reason. But, while seafood may be the Grand Strand’s signature type of cuisine, the area is also a hot spot for a range of other culinary offerings. (And, with more than 1,700 restaurants situated along the Grand Strand’s 60-mile stretch of Carolina coastline, this should come as no big surprise.)

To balance out the area’s deserved reputation for superior “surf,” let’s take a look at some of the Grand Strand’s best “turf” offerings. During your next visit to the Myrtle Beach area and the Cottages at North Beach Plantation, check out some of these top spots for great steaks:
