Everything i ate was over cooked, shrimp cocktail, lobster & prime rib. for the money and time invested it was a sad experience. The server was polite, but I'll not return just for that.

This is our first time to try this restaurant. We picked it out in part because of descriptions here. We called ahead for seating and were given a time. As it is a little early in the season it really wasn't necessary. We were seated immediately. Service was good. Both my wife and I ordered prime rib. Both were cooked exactly as ordered. The salad was good as were the rolls. They serve a sort of twice baked potato (I forget the exact name they called it). It was very good. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

We went here for a special anniversary dinner. We were rushed through our meal. Even though there were only 2 of us and they weren't very busy, they seated us at a table for 6. The salad was average and the steaks we ordered were overdone. We had high hopes of finding a new restaurant to frequent, but we will not return here.

Salad was limp, like it was pre-made and stored for a day in the fridge. My wife would not eat hers. Steak was okay, bread was almost stale. Meal was way over priced by normal standards but Myrtle Beach restaurants are overpriced for the most part. Needed ear protection because of the very loud patrons. Could not hear my wife (I'm not hard of hearing) unless she yelled, like all the other patrons. Service was so-so. Overall, was a bad dining experience. Meal was not worth the money and was not fun. Local advertising promises much more than the restaurant delivers. We will never visit again. Beware of obivous fake "excellent" reviews for this restaurant.

***Editor's Note: We take a great deal of precaution to prevent fake reviews, and are not aware of any on this site. If you believe a review is false, send the specifics to the administrators, who will then do further investigation.

Cagney's is an outstanding restaurant. I remember the first time I contemplated going there, I had just watched a review of it on BeachTV. The attention to detail here is exceptional, and the food is superb. The owners here have done a great job of maintaining consistency, which is very important. The prime rib and lobster is what I usually have, and it has always been fabulous. Lovely atmosphere.

The upscale restaurant you cant miss when visiting Myrtle Beach. Went with a friend, he had Steak, I had seafood, both great! Dont miss the twice baked potato..mmmmmm. Both had a couple beers. Bill was around $80.00, not bad at all for the quality of food. Will return every year on vacation.

This was my second time at Cagneys and I won't be going back, Very poor service. Twelve guys spent $600.00 on dinner and we left un-satisfied. Zero management response to our concerns about improperly cooked food and just slow/bad service. The waitress even blamed us for the slow servcie because we ordered escargo. We will choose another place to eat dinner next year.

My prime rib was gristle and not even edible. I pointed this out, they brought out another very small bad cut again and ignored me completely. I will never go back. They seated me next to a large family of out of control kids screaming to the top of their lungs, knowing the situation ahead of time. Thanks for nothing guys... horrible experience.

Our family rates Cagneys as one of MB's best. Flounder Cagney is our favorite dish. Side dishes are done nicely too, and we haven't had a bad meal here in our visits for more than 10 years. Only problem is they close for the winter.

My husband and I had heard good things about Cagney's and after years finally decided to check it out. I got the prime rib and lobster tail and was not impressed. The prime rib was cooked as ordered, but was nothing special. My husband had surf and turf special, and again, wasn't overly impressed. The service was good and the food was okay, but not the great experience we were told we would have.

We went here for our anniversary because of the ratings and ads for prime rib. I ordered a Cagney signature fish dish. It was so loaded with cheese that I couldn't taste the fish. My husband got their prime rib and it was tough and full of fat. Not at all what we expected. We won't make any attempts to go back.

My husband and I ate there last night based on the prior reviews. We were disappointed! I ordered prime rib and found it very bland. I used to work in a restaurant that served excellent prime rib and believe me this was not even in the ballpark.They served it with the au jus poured over the prime rib so I was afraid the entire time that I would get it on me while cutting the meat.

My husband got a New York Strip that was overcooked and not a very good cut. The potato was ok but again not great.

To top off the night our service was lousy. The waiter didn't keep our beverages filled nor was he very attentive. They leave serving trays set up around the restaurant which makes you feel like you are in a diner.

Best in MB!!! This is the first and last restaurant we go to when we are down. My husband swears by this place and has recommended it to many others who he knows will be visiting Myrtle Beach.

The "Steak Oscar" is SUPURB and their mixed drinks are excellent. Aside from the beach bar at our resort, this is the best place to get Long Island Iced Teas. My son-in-law stole everybody's twice-baked potatoes. Quite a tussle at the table. A really fun place.

Very touristy. The caesar salad was warm and limp; the steak Oscar was cooked to our preference but was somewhat bland; the rib eye was an uneven cut and, therefore, was not cooked properly; the prime rib was also average. The lack of choice for sides added to the poor rating. I would not race back to Cagney's. Not bad, but certainly not worth $140 for three people. Kelly was our server and she more than made up for the food.

We recently visited Cagney's on our vacation to Myrtle Beach. We decided on this restaurant because of the wonderful reviews it received on this web page. We were not disappointed. We have been in many places up and down the east coast and this truely ranks among the best. It not only has a extensive entree selection, it also has a wonderful children's menu. Excellent quality and service. Thanks for a great experience.
