Review: SIMPLY THE BEST!!! We dine at the Conch several times per visit to Garden City. The food is consistently great. The service is always on the mark and we highly reccomend this dining experience to all of our friends. If you haven't tried the Conch you are missing a great meal with a perfect view!!

Review: What could be wrong with the conch? the view is to die for, the food is out of this world, the atmosphere and the service have never been lacking. We have been coming there for 16 years, and always bring/send our friends/relatives. We'll be staying in nmb this time(labor day week) but we'll still make a trip or two to the conch..

Review: We had eaten here on our last trip south and enjoyed the food at thaqt time. We arrived after the luch crowd and were seated immediately. I wanted to have scallops but they weren't on the luch minue, but our waitress was able to get them for me. They were plentiful and fried to perfection. My wifes chicken salad sandwich was also weel prepared and very tasty. We have the feeling that we will be back agaib the next time we are in thge area.

Review: I've stayed in along the beach in the Conch Cafe' area for the past seven years and have eaten at the Conch Cafe' every time I've gone there. I always have a great meal that I thoroughly enjoy. I normally don't like scallops, but I tried them at the Conch this past weekend (7/07) and loved them!! The sampler appetizer had a DELICIOUS tri-colored pasta/shrimp salad. My steak was delicious and the atmospher and service is fun and casual and fun. Two thumbs up!

Review: On my first trip to the Surfside Beach area, I ate at the Conch Cafe numerous times, only to be more impressed with every meal. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area. Excellent food, excellent views from the deck and friendly and efficient service. Food was very reasonably priced for the high quality. I enjoyed everything I ordered, but my steak and scallop dinner was the best!!

Review: The Conch Cafe is by far my favorite restaurant in Garden City. The atmosphere is definitely appropriate for the area and has become a tradition in my annual trip to Garden City. The service is always outstanding and the food selection provides a perfect blend of southern favorites and seafood. The beach wouldn't be the beach without such an experience.

Review: We have been coming to the Conch for at least 15 years. It's the best. The "Conch" fritters are fabulous as are the Crab Cakes. Atmosphere is wonderful and everyone is friendly. The view is amazing. I wouldn't miss going there when we're on The Strand. It's our second home.

Review: I also live in the Garden City area and have been going to the Conch since the day it opened. I have lost count of how many guests I have taken there.

All I can say to the negative reviewers is that it is best they find it substandard and go elsewhere. Locals or not, nobody likes to listen to post-dinner whining.

Review: Have eaten at Conch Cafe on several occasions for lunch and each time enjoyed it... She Crab Soup is delicious and you can't beat the view from the outdoor deck. Would recommend it.

Review: My family and I were vacationing in Surfside and were riding about to find a place to eat when we came across the Conch Cafe. The food was excellent and the kids enjoyed their meal as well. The grilled shrimp and the prime rib was excellent and cooked to our liking. The kids ate shrimp and fish from the child's menu and it was a good size portion for the price. Our server was excellent and we never ran out of tea or water. The hostess even told us of the specials for the evening. I will recommend this place to my friends and family!

Review: Just spent three days in Myrtle Beach. Went for a late lunch about 2:30pm on Saturday. We were a party of eight and were seated outside right away. At least three of us asked to have items on the menu changed a bit. No problem, fast service, and food was good. For a low key, non-chain place to eat outside this is a good one. Built up on stilts with a huge covered back porch that looks down at the beach and out at the ocean.

Review: My husband and I live in the Myrtle Beach area and we go out of our way to support local businesses by avoiding the typical chain restaurants. We stumbled upon Conch Cafe and had a terrible experience. The server did not go over any specials, did not refill our drinks, and spent time talking with other employees outside of the kitchen rather than attending to what we needed. The food was very fattening and fried, there was nothing healthy on the menu. In fact, you had an extra $1.00 charge if you wanted anything grilled. The seafood did not seem local, nor did it seem very fresh (and we went on a Sat. night!). My husband and I will not return and we will not recommend this restaurant to any of our friends or out of town guests. The restaurant entrees were around $18 a each and they were all fried. The napkins were paper, the restaurant was rather dirty, bar was small, very limited wine menu and rather poor. There are many other restaurants in Myrtle Beach that are much better than this one, don't waste your money! I suggest going someplace in Murrell's Inlet for fresh seafood.

Review: The Conch Cafe is always the first place we stop when we arrive in Garden City, and the last place we eat before heading home. We usually manage to go by for dinner at least once during the week as well. The Reuben is a personal favorite, and the seafood platter is excellent. Service is always good, and the oceanfront dining is always a treat. It can get a little loud on the outside deck at night, but that is a small complaint.

Review: We "found" The Conch back in the 80's, when there was no roof over the outside deck, and you could walk up off the beach and get a frozen fruit bar at the window. 20+ years later we are still frequenting The Conch. No matter where we are in the area, we make sure we have at least 1 or 2 meals at The Conch. The food and service are great, and the atmosphere is the best! Nothing like sitting on the deck, wind blowing through your hair, and a drink in your hand! The best! Try the pitcher of "Conch Outs." Heaven!

Review: Had visited many times before.. This time, September 2005, we were accompanied by a couple of seniors who wished to use the early bird menu, which we also did... not only was the food (fish) severely overcooked but when the bill came it did not add-up to the total. I question the hostess who could not ans the question but refered us back to our server.. she explained there was a $1.00 extra charge for grilling/broiling our fish vs. having it fried...she never mentioned this when odering.. she also could not explain why the dollar wasn't listed but only the total was increased by a $1.00... she was shown an ad indicating choices of how a meal could be prepared and there was NO mention of surcharges..our server failed to resolve this to anyone's satisfaction....as a result none of the four of us will return. ps, we lived practically across the street form them and would have used them numerous times were it not for this!!!

Review: We discovered the Conch Cafe just by chance a few years ago and consider it a treasured find. The food is very good but the atmosphere is what makes the meal a real treat. There is nothing better than having a delightful dinner on a breezy porch over looking the Atlantic Ocean after a day of fun and sun. Makes one feel special and pampered.

Review: This is our sixth year of family vacations to the Garden City/Surfside area. Conch Cafe is always a must for us, sometimes twice. As always the food, service and atmosphere is the best. Conch Cafe is a great place for the kids to enjoy also, since it sits right on the Atlantic. Try the steak oceanside for a wonderful treat or the seafood platter, the servings are plentiful. For an appetizer you must try the conch fritters. The only thing missing this trip was one of their past specials, soft shell crab. Great lunch specials too! See ya next year.

Review: The Counch Cafe & Lounge is just absolutely wonderful. The pleasant breeze off of the ocean is like no other. Watching the beautiful sunset while enjoying a wonderful meal is priceless. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys great views of the ocean.

Review: The Conch Cafe is the first and last place to eat on our vacation. The grilled shrimp and crab cake is the best I have ever had! The deck is just awesome with unobstructed views of the ocean. Seating is fast even with a party as large as our's (17+). Don't forget to try their strawberry daquiries they also are the best ever.

Review: We absolutely love the Conch Cafe! The food has always been very good and our favorite part is eating outside on the deck overlooking the ocean. We have had both lunch and dinner here and both meals are great. Highly recommended!
