We go down to Myrtle Beach 2-3 times per year and ALWAYS eat here! We own a condo way down near Surfside Beach and feel it is worth the 45 min ride up to the Sea Merchant. It is the best meal on the beach, and reasonably priced with huge portions! Our favorites are the Grouper Parmesan and Steak au Poivre, dishes that aren't served everywhere. Their green beans are fresh, and their french fries, which are batter dipped, are to die for! The owners are native Carolinans, and we've discovered that it is a locals' favorite. Understandably so!

Hudak Realty has our office Christmas party every year and are never disappointed. The atmosphere is great with the beautiful fire and rustic decor. The food is terrific and the service is fantastic. I am making arrangements for this year and we are all looking forward to another great Christmas celebration at the Sea Merchants.

The is a hidden gem! I have lived in NMB for close to 10 years & driven by so many times - how many excellent meals I've missed! The interior is rustic - you feel like you're inside an old ship - but cozy. It is a smoking restaurant but I have been told it's becoming non-smoking in 2009. The servers are very professional and knowledgable - they're not just some college kids down for the summer. The scallop appetizer with bacon is the best, and the steaks are undeniably the best at the beach. I challenge anyone to find a tastier, more tender steak in Myrtle Beach, maybe in SC. Try the Steak Del Ray - trust me, you'll never forget it!

My family has been coming here for years...the steaks and fish are great!! We love it. Especially in the winter months when they start up their real fireplace..it's so cozy...In response to the person who says it's an all-smoking place..NONSENSE! I am not a smoker and have never been bothered by smoke in this resteraunt. And we eat here about once a month. If you want a semi-intimate meal..ask for a booth, it's very cozy and quet.

A friend recommended this restaurant and I definately agree with all the reviews with positive comments about the food, service and atmosphere. I had the Parmesan Grouper and my wife had her favorite, a filet. It's rare that I can find a restaurant where I can enjoy good seafood and my wife can get a good steak. Both are outstanding here. We'll definately return whenever we're near North Myrtle Beach.We almost didn't go after reading the July 11 review about the toxic smoke filled atmosphere. We didn't see any evidence of smoke or smoking anywhere and no ashtrays in sight. We didn't go to the lounge upstairs.

This place is amazing, I've been for the past two summers and the steak and scallops is perfect! Plus they actually served my stead medium rare which seems to be hard to get at some reataurants. Plus the inside is beautiful...I love how it's sort of a little dive!

We went to this restaurant based on the reviews it received on this website. We were seated promptly, but then realized that there is no escape from the heavy cigarette and cigar smoke. We ordered sodas, but my eyes teared so badly that we had to leave. I will never go back because the air is toxic. I feel sorry for the workers who have to breathe the smoky air every day. The food may be good - we'll never know. But, it's important for others to know that the restaurant is completely smoking. The meals looked pricey, so when you pay good money for a meal, you want to be able to smell it, taste it, and to breathe while you eat. Unfortunately, that can't happen here.

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. My wife had the Parmesan topped Grouper, I had the crab/scallop topped Filet. It was cooked to perfection! We went at 7:30 pm on a Wed. night, no waiting and immediate seating. The waitress was a pro, knew exactly what to offer from the 2 brothers that are the owner/chefs. My 10 year old son loved the chicken tenders and home fries. This place is on my list of must eats for Myrtle Beach from now on. Absolutely the best in the North Myrtle area. Ambience is perfect for that quieter evening without the loud crowd, what I enjoy at our ages. Pricing was as fair as any seafood or steak medium priced place, but much better due to the service and excellent dishes. We will probably do this again before we leave this weekend. Highly recommended!

We have been coming to NMB for years and never miss stopping at The Sea Merchant. The atmostphere is cosy, service excellent and the food really is special. While I like to try new things, 9 out of 10 trips I have the salmon with basalmic onions....best I 've had anywhere. My husband finds the grouper parmisian tops. The beef is excellent as is the chicken. This is where the locals eat.

We are locals and have been here twice. The ambiance is very romantic. I would suggest going on the off season as noise levels can get up there. This is by far the best steak I have ever had!! They age their own meats and both times we went the food was perfectly cooked and tasted wonderfully. The servers are always attentive but do not smother you by coming to the table 10 times in 5 minutes. I would definitely reccomend this to anyone looking for a dimly lit incredible meal!

YUMMY!! We went here based on previous reviews that I read before going to Myrtle Beach. When we drove by, we kind of looked at each other as it doesn't look so hot from the outside. We reminded ourselves of the reviews and decided to go in and glad we did! It's cozy, cute and romantic inside. Nice music playing, fireplace lit, nice lighting. I had shrimp (9 or 10 large ones!) and my husband had Grouper Parmesan. The food was delicious. The waiter was very attentive and friendly and the prices were good. I'm sorry we waited until the last full day of our vacation as we would have eaten here at least another time.

We only make it to Myrtle Beach every couple of years, but we never fail to come to Sea Merchants at least three or four times in a weeks time. No hype or pressure, noise or other annoyances. Just GOOD FOOD! A friendly, comfortable atmosphere and reasonable prices.

This was by far the best food we ate at the beach. We came twice in a one week vacation, and we recommended it whenever we could. The portions were huge, and it was both wonderful seafood, and great steaks as well. All the food was fresh, and well prepared, and even the crutons were so good we asked for extras! Your whole family will enjoy the food at this fabulous, family-style restaurant.

Don't let the exterior of this restaurant fool you. Once you walk into the main area of the restaurant, you'll see what I mean. There's a huge fireplace burning, cozy booths for couples or large tables for larger groups, great atmosphere. The Sea Merchants filet and the Scallops Pauline are to die for, the best I have ever had. You won't be disappointed, just don't judge this restaurant by the way it looks outside, come on in and enjoy the best meal you will ever have.
