We stumbled upon River City while on vacation in Myrtle Beach. We loved it! The food and the atmosphere were wonderful. The prices were very reasonable, which is very rare at the beach. We were also glad to not have to drive somewhere like Broadway at the Beach. Everything there is outrageously overpriced. When our family comes to the beach, we want to stay near the beach! We enjoyed River City so much, that we ate there 2 nights of our vacation. We look forward to visiting again soon!

My family and I dined at this establishment in June 2008. We were all intriged by the layout and decor. We were seated in less than 2 minutes. I chose a bacon cheeseburger alony with one of my daughters. My wife had a grilled chicken and my 3 yr old daughter had a child plate of some type. It was the most she had eaten at a restaurant in a long time. Everything was great, especially the onion rings. We loved the food so much on that Saturday afternoon that of course I returned that evening for chicken wings and fries for the family. I commented to the waitress, that we would see them in April of 2009. We loved it.

Still the best burger on the Strand. I go to Myrtle Beach at least 2 times a year and every trip involves a meal at the 21st Street location. Always great food and excellent service. Ate there on 7-9-08. Nothing has changed. Burgers are the best. Highly recommend for an excellent casual dining experience.

We are frequent visitors to Myrtle Beach and have made River City Cafe a regular stop. It is casual and kid friendly. It is nothing fancy, but it has a lot of character. Our kids love eating the peanuts and dropping the shells on the floor. The food is good and reasonably priced. Recommend the fries and burgers!

We went down for our yearly golf outing and a coworker had suggested River City Cafe, best place we ate the whole weekend! Cheap, fast, and excellent food (a rustic atmosphere with license plates everywhere to keep you entertained during the short wait for your food! Our server was bubbly, personable, and accomodating. I highly recommend this place! Too many burgers to choose from but I recommend the RC burger...DELICIOUS!

This weekend was my first trip ever to River City Cafe, however my family ,that comes every year at Valentine's, has been consecutively for the past 4 years. We had a party of 12. Every single thing that we ordered was just as we ordered it. The food was great, the service was great and the beer was ice cold. It's a great place for all family members no matter what the age may be. Everyone needs to try this place. My family and I are leaving to go back home tomorrow and we are going back to eat tonite

We were on vacation for a week and this is the only place we ate twice. The burgers are GREAT. They actually arrive at your table and the meat is hot!! They don't tell you how big they are, ask how you want them cooked --- they just grill up a great burger every time. The buns are amazing, fresh toppings (and a ton of combinations) and interesting fries. Mine were never crispy as another reviewer said, but hot and delicious. They were actually kinda limp, but had more potato flavor than any fries I've had in a while. Fresh peanuts, cold beer, good slaw and an ocean view @ Surfside Beach. FOR $5.49!!! Are you kidding!!? And our servers couldn't have been nicer. Now that I'm back in Florida I'll miss them.

River City Cafe is awesome! Great food, their fries are the best I have ever had, always hot and crispy. They have great burgers, and if you are looking to save some calories their chicken salad plate is very fresh and satisfying. The atmosphere is laid back and beachy..just as it should be and the staff is laid back too, but they get the job done. Peanut shells are everywhere, but that makes it even better. On every beach trip, which is at least 8-10 times a year, my son requests lunch at the "Peanut Place" !!!

I eat at RCC often, usually at the Surfside locatin, because I love sitting on the deck overlooking the ocean. My daughters and I had decided to go to this location, because we were right down the street. We were sat on the streetside deck, and were blasted by the sun the entire time. The service was awful, wrong food was brought. I ordered BBQ chicken wings, tereaki were brought out. The waiter was RUDE and said WE ordered the wrong thing. DONT THINK SO! After him brinigng the 2nd wrong order out, we got up and left, spoke to the manager, explaineed the situation and said we were not paying, the order was on the table. He was nice, but the rude waiter ruined it

I love River City Cafe. Everytime I'm in Myrtle Beach I have to go there. As soon as I walked in the door, I was seated. The staff was friendly, and the food was great. I went there twice while in Myrtle Beach it was so good. Usually, if it good the first time the second time is disappointing, but the second was as good as the first. You can't find a place in Mrytle beach that you can get a juicey hamburger, fries, and slaw for $5.50. YOU HAVE TO EAT THERE!!!

Normally we really like this place but the beer was not cold enough and although a hot day the restaurant was too warm inside. An air conditioning duct was leaking too. We have eaten here twice before but it seems like attention to basic details is now being missed.

I went to the River City Cafe in Surfside Beach on 6/8/07. We arrived at 8:45 PM. I had a party of 7 people. We arrived with 5 people and 2 were on the way from Socastee. We were told we could not be seated without our full party. At 9:15 PM I approached the hostess about being seated. The 2 people were at the stop light of Glens Bay Road. I told the young girl that they were almost here and we had 3 hungry children, I asked to be seated. She walked away from me and got another lady. I told her the same thing and asked why we couldn't be seated. She said during busy times they couldn't seat people without a full party and if they sat us then our friends couldn't sit with us. No one else was waiting to be seated!!!!!

A friend and I ate at the Barefoot Landing location today and we were both disappointed. There was a hair in her food and the french fries were greasy. When she told them about the hair and returned her hamburger, they looked at her like she'd grown a second head. They offered a feeble verbal apology, but didn't offer to comp her on her drink (diet coke) or even offer a discount on the meal for the incident. We will never go again. Too bad. It's a great location and the view of the waterway is beautiful.

This was a great place to eat! Server was friendly and attentive. Drinks were good, burgers were huge with a variety of toppings and the fries were excellent. Prices were very reasonable, even without the coupons we had. Under $35 for three adults with three entrees, a mixed drink, couple sodas and an appetizer between us. Great casual atmosphere- graffiti and peanut shells everywhere! We had to wait a while for a table but that was to be expected at a place this popular, especially during tourist season. We will definitely eat there again on our next trip to Myrtle Beach.

Best burger on the beach!! We were only sorry we didn't try River City the first night in town. Once we discovered River City, we are there nearly every night. There were so many things to try. Very reasonable pricing. Awesome taste!! Wish we had a River City in Wisconsin.The Waitresses were very helpful and so nice!!

The Burgers are amazing... Most places on the strip are just tourist traps you pay ridiculous prices for okay food, this place is resonably priced with an awesome atmosphere, and great food. A local favorite, and a tourist must do.

Without a doubt the best burgers on the beach. I've been to each of the River City Cafe locations and have had excellent service and quality of food at each and every one, the laid back atmosphere is great. The prices are very reasonable, and I don't think I've once had to wait to be seated.

I think this is a great place to go eat. It was my first time eating there and it was great. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. The food was very delicious. I loved how you could sign your name to the wall and while you ate you could read everyone else's messages that they had put on the wall. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone who likes hot food, friendly service and a great atmosphere!

If you want a hamburger, River City is the place to go. They have 3 locations! These are very large burgers, so beware!!!! Every kind you can imagine. They even have fried bologna sandwiches. The blooming onions are great, too!!!! Great fries. We eat here every year. The new River City on 73rd Ave North is my favorite!!!!! Rocking chairs on the porch.

A VERY casual, yet glorified burger joint. I would never go here dressed up - only in shorts or jeans. There's writing on the tables and all over the bathroom walls. We sat out on the deck and watched the people streaming by. The chicken on my grilled chicken salad was delicious but the lettuce, mushrooms, and zucchini looked sour so I didn't eat any of them. There was enough chicken in the salad to fill me up though, so I didn't leave hungry. My husband said his burger and fries, as well as the iced tea, were all excellent.
