We've vacationed in MB for over 30 years and I must say Painter's was our only bad experience this year with food and drink. The ice cream portions were reduced but more importantly it was nasty. My daughter ordered a THICK milk shake. The servers accomplished this by adding more milk and extra strawberry syrup; not ice cream. This made it so nasty she had to dump it out! The servers act like you are imposing on them! If this place is still in business next season, it will not be on our stop! ref: 17133

Me and my friends were traveling through north myrtle beach and stopped in, we were not impressed by the looks of the building, kinda runned down, and the man at the window didn't even give us a greeting. We ordered the oreo and it tasted like bananas, very nasty. And the man refused to refund it. And $3.35 for that little cup? Over priced. The man working was listing in on our conversation the entire time, and then didn't give us a good greeting as we left. Was not happy with Painters in north myrtle beach. Will never return again. ref: 16586

I am currently sitting here at painters eating my 4 dollar scoop of heath bar crunch. My friend got oreo which ended up tasting like banana then dropped it off her cone by accident. They refused to replace her scoop even after she apologized for dropping it. They have no bathroom and you are fored to sit in the heat outside. We recently visited the other painters locations in garden city where my 3 year old dropped her cone and it was graciously replaced by the young lady working. I would suggest that anyone wanting good homemade icecream visit the garden city locations which are of no affiliation which the north myrtle beach location. Also the garden city locations offer bathrooms and air conditioned seating! ref: 16578

I visited the Painters in North Myrtle Beach twice and both times it was absolutely horrible and ended with me throwing away almost all of my ice cream! The ice cream tasted like it had been sitting in the freezer for weeks! And the server was extremely rude and didnt care one bit that we were unhappy! But while I was in Garden City my family insisted on trying Painter's down there since we had heard so much about it. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! the servers were much nicer and friendly and more willing to make us whatever we wanted!! Toffee crunch ice cream in the millionare sundae is the best thing ive ever had and i am looking forward to visiting the Garden City location every time we are even close to Myrtle Beach! ref: 16179

This tasted like frozen manure. Must have a sense of humor to eat here or you will want to hurt someone in the end. Why even waste your efforts to put a spoon in this frozen concotion that tastes like it looks. Wow, how sad. The lady acted like we were imposing. Sorry- never again. ref: 16007

This place was awful!!! Ice cream not bad,but overpriced and not nearly worth what we paid. The cone was stale and the scoop of icecream was very small leaving me very unsatisfied and wishing I had went somewhere else for a better icecream. And further more the server was very unfriendly and hateful, she practically threw the cone at me when bring the icecream cone to me. I truly do not understand the "voted best in the U. S." rave, it is absolutley nothing special and I don't recommend it to anyone visiting the myrtle beach area. Will definitley not be back there again!!! ref: 15176

My husband and I went to this place on 5/2/09 and ordered ice cream sundaes and the service was awful! The young white guy that was serving the ice cream was hateful acting short when I asked questions and he only gave a scoop of ice cream when I ordered a $4.00 sundae and a lot of whipped cream. He got my husband's icream order wrong and when he went to take it back up to the young man to correct the order, the young man yelled back at my husband and stated that was what he ordered and would not refund or fix another sundae for him! Vanna White recommends this place on TV, I would not recommend this place to no one!!! This young man could have been charged with disorderly conduct if law enforcement was present! ref: 14875

So the ice cream wasn't good, it was very expensive, cashier was rude, and we were charged $22.00 to our account rather than $5.22!!!! And that's for one icecream cone! Not a great place to eat while you are on vacation! ref: 14837

We saw the sign that said, "voted best ice cream" so we gave it a try. The ice cream was OK but the service was awful. The server was on her cell phone and was not friendly at all! It was like we were bothering her. Your ice cream would be better if you hired new staff. I saw that Vanna White and other celebrities rave about it, "whatever" a disappointment. Try Scoops down the road on SC 17. They sell Blue Bell ice cream and it's delicious!! ref: 14811

I ate here two years ago with my family and the icecream tasted freezer-burned. My money would have been better spent at the grocery store buying ice cream in a box. They need a new sign saying "Voted best by people that haven't tried anything else!" When did that vote occur, anyway? ref: 14393

We love Painters! We go atleast three times during our week stay each year. My husband loves the butter pecan, I think the vanilla is by far the best I have ever had. The peach is pretty amazing as well. The banana pudding is good too. It is usually so packed each time we go and the staff is always accomodating and ask us where we are from. It is always nice to chat with the other patrons to see what flavors they are getting. ref: 14171

The original Painters in North Myrtle is by far the best ice cream on the beach. Make sure you are not confusing this with the imposters which are farther south in Garden City. If visiting in the summer, expect to wait in line, but worth it!

My parents started taking us to Painters when we first visited Cherry Grove Beach in 1968. My Grandfather found $80 under one of the picnic tables and you would have thought he had struck gold, but in 1968...that was gold. We all decided that not only did my Grandfather strike gold...we did too...because Painters Ice Cream is Golden! ref: 12008

I go to painter's ice cream every summer and every time it tastes better and better. It is cool to see all of the photos of famous people on the walls. Like Vanna White I think was one of the coolest people who went there, and her signature ice cream is really good. You should go there sometime and visit the other cool places in NMB. ref: 11825

Above average ice cream. I love the banana nut. The only problem is they are out of flavors much of the time. If it's good enough for Vanna White it's good enough for me.

Painters is the WORD for ice cream at the beach. A personal favorite of our family's, and mine since 1974. We've been known to drive the 4 1/2 to 5 hours from Virginia with Painters being the very first stop. Ice cream is always that, creamy. A multitude of flavors all good and fresh tasting. And they'll even pack ya some to take back home. ref: 7192

My husband and I have been going to Myrtle Beach for years and always find time to enjoy Painter's ice cream everyday that we are in town. We have yet to find ice cream anywhere else in the US that tastes as great. My favorite is the Fudge-n-nana. I would recommend that you try it! ref: 5221
