Theme Restaurants

Step back into a time of knights and princesses at Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament. This thrilling, family-friendly attraction is inspired by the feasts and jousting tournaments of 11th-century Spain. Guests are served a four-course banquet of delicious dishes as they cheer for knights competing in the joust. One of many locations across the United States, Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament offers a unique experience for a Myrtle Beach vacation you’ll never forget.

Located in Surfside Beach, Pirate’s Table Seafood Buffet has been serving delicious Calabash-style seafood to the Grand Strand since 2011. Boasting one of the largest buffets in the area, Pirate’s Table is a family-friendly restaurant that serves seared steaks, Alaskan crab legs, and everything in between. But the buffet isn’t the only attraction at the Pirate’s Table—this themed restaurant is home to a 10,000-gallon pool where live mermaids swim and pirates hang out. Don’t be surprised if you hear cannon blasts and the sounds of swashbucklers as you dine.

Dine in prehistoric style at DinoLand Café, a full-service dinosaur-themed restaurant in Myrtle Beach. The life-sized animatronic dinosaurs, lava mountain, and a flying dragon bar are only a few of the highlights. DinoLand’s menu includes dishes for every creature’s appetite. The two-pound Caveman’s Steak or the lava mountain ribs satisfy mammoth-sized hunger, and the kids’ menu features all the best bites for little ones.

Polynesian Fire Luau is held at the historic St. John’s Inn in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. While most of the show takes place inside St. John’s Inn, the 15-minute finale is held outside (weather permitting) to showcase a fire knife performance featuring Malakai & Tulei Lavatai. The buffet-style dinner offers Polynesian-style fare, including Hulu Hulu Chicken, Kalua Pulled Pork, and Sticky Rice. Seating is assigned when you purchase your ticket.

This high-energy dinner show features battles, sword fights, and acrobats, plus a satisfying four-course spread. Feast on soup, bread, roasted chicken, glazed ham, corn, and an herb-basted potato as you watch the action. The apple pie—and victory—are sweet ways to finish an evening of fun. If you’re in Myrtle Beach for the holidays, Pirates Voyage changes to a Christmas-themed experience, complete with Captain Scrooge and a live nativity.

Jerusalem Mediterranean Restaurant and Bar is a place that genuinely stands out in a city full of seafood buffets and beach bars. The interior features handmade Turkish globes, custom seating, and a stained-glass chandelier, with a round layout and a bar at the center that gives the whole space a look you won’t find anywhere else on the Grand Strand. Chef Maksim Garby runs the kitchen using locally sourced meats, fish, and vegetables, and the menu covers a lot of ground. You’ll find char-grilled chicken and ribeye kebabs, lamb chops, a slow-cooked Moroccan lamb tagine with prunes and apricots, and a kofta made from seasoned ground beef and lamb. If you’re not sure where to start, the Jerusalem Experience platter and the Casablanca Mixed Grill are both built for sharing and known for being more than enough food. You can eat inside or out on the patio, and there’s a full bar with cocktails and wine to go along with the meal. On select evenings, live belly dancers perform, which makes the whole experience feel a bit more like an event than just dinner. It’s certainly worth a visit.
