This was my 3rd time going to J Edwards for dinner. This time I brought a friend whom has never eaten here before. At first I was excited to introduce him to this restaurant given my previous experiences there. However, our experience ended up being a big disaster. We were promptly seated in the front section of the restaurant and our waiter arrived quickly to take our drink orders. Several minutes later he returned with our water. We then ordered our entrees. I ordered a side salad along with my entree. About 15 minutes passed with no sign of our waiter. Apparently he had other table far from us, at the back of the restaurant. The salad finally arrived and he made no mention of being sorry for the wait. He disappeared again, this time for about 20 minutes. I had long finished my salad and our waters were empty. I could see him running around in the back, not once coming to our table. In the meantime, the table next to us had their server (a different one) come to their table several times. They ordered their dinner after us, yet somehow finished theirs before ours even arrived. I could understand the delay if I had ordered something exotic, however, all that I ordered was chicken and rice. Our waiter never returned. At this point I was fed up. I went to speak to the manager/owner, both of which were sitting at the bar chatting with each other. I politely asked them if I could pay for the salad and then leave as we had had terrible service. The owner got agitated and upset. Not at the server, but at me. He questioned my explanation and reasoning for wanting to leave. It is one thing when a server gives you an attitude, but when an owner does it is insulting, to say the least. The manager/owner never apologized, never offered for the dinner to be comped. He simply said "have at it" motioning us towards the exit and added "if you would like to try us again that would be fine." I replied, "I don't think that will happen." I have never been so poorly treated.

My family has been patrons of J Edwards every year while vacationing for over 20 years. Our recent visit on 6/8/06, I ordered a steak and when it came out I asked for A-1, which I wasn't told then that they didn't have, but a non-name brand was brought to the table. It tasted horrible. When I was told they didn't offer A-1 steak sauce anymore, I asked for a manager because I could not eat the steak without A-1 or with the other nasty brand. I was told by very rudely by the manager that no "one had ever said that before" and that I was "the first to complain". He actually offered me a different steak (I guess he missed my reasoning for not being able to eat the first one). I ordered the pork chops instead. No apology was ever offered for my troubles and my family had to wait for me to eat because they were finished by the time I received my replacement. It was apparent to me that J Edwards has changed their view of customer service, even going as far as offering non-compariable brands to save them money, therefore our 20+ year tradition has ended. What is sad is the fact that a mere apology would have made a hugh difference...without the rudeness of course. There is far too many restaurants we can choose from to not get this kind of service. I did call back later and speak to a different manager who told me that they were trying that Monarch brand because it was ALOT cheaper, but that they "have a truck coming in the tomorrow that will include A-1, which would be available" (wonder why if no one had ever complained before). Well, I called the next evening just to see, and to my theory, they didn't have any and I was told that they "stopped offering that brand about six months ago".

Went to J Edwards on a Tuesday night at 6:00 p.m. We were seated immediately. Great atmosphere. Not excessively crowded, noisy or smoky. I had the ribs and they were delicious. My husband had the steak and was very pleased. We shared a slice of cheesecake for dessert, which was large enough for four people! Don't forget to get the 30% off coupon out of one of the coupon booklets.

We go to J Edwards every year while in Myrtle Beach, however this year we were there and because we knew others that we in the restuarant all parties were charged gratuity, even the party of 4 that were sitting in a smoking area not anywhere near us. We asked the server why they did this and we were told that because we talked and knew each other that was their policy. So if you do go to this restuarant do not speak or look at anyone that you possibly might know, as you will be charged as if you are all one party. We found this to be poor customer service considering they did not advise us of this until we received our check and had to asked about it.

Three years ago my family at at J Edwards and the food and service by the wait staff were excellent. I'm sorry to say though that I will not return because of the owners rudeness towards my then 1&1/2 year old son. I had some difficulty in removing my son from his highchair and Mr Edwards became verbally rude and insulting with me regarding the matter. It was a shame because in all honesty, the steaks were possibly the best I've ever had. Maybe just not a great place to take small children.

Found J.Edwards on my first trip to Myrtle Beach several years ago, completely by accident. Drove by, saw the sign, and decided to stop. Well, WHAT A FIND ! Now, i go at least twice every time i'm in town, and i recommend it to all of my friends when they go. So far, everyone LOVES the food, the service and the value ! Ribs, steaks and chicken are all exceptional, and the employees at J. Edwards really make your evening - very personable and fun ! You can't visit Myrtle Beach without trying this place !!! You won't be disappointed.

I love this restaurant! Especially the fireplace seating...but the food is incredible! From the steak and ribs to the desserts!! Great ambiance and lively bar area while you wait. Ed the owner and the managers walk around themselves to ensure the quality of service and food! I'll be back every time I go to Myrtle Beach!!

Hubby is the rib expert in this family and although they were tasty, they didn't knock his socks off.

He prefers large ribs and not baby back. He gets annoyed when a menu doesn't specify that the ribs will be "baby backs".

Service and ambience were fine, but it wasn't as good as a Memphis ribs restaurant!

We went to J Edwards when we first got to Myrtle Beach and found it to be exceptional. We visit Myrtle Beach a couple of times a year, and Edwards is always where we eat on our first night there and then again the night before we leave we go back again. It is a pleasant place to dine and the servers are very efficient and friendly. This year my daughter and her husband are coming down with us and we cannot wait to take them to our favorite restaurant.
