Burger & American Restaurants

How can you go wrong with the classic? The “burger,” shortened from “hamburger” decades ago, is a handheld meal loved by billions of people around the world. Originally just a way to grind together tougher cuts and scraps of beef, the burger has matured and taken on iconic and permanent status as “America’s favorite meal.” When properly prepared a burger can be as delicious as any fine dining meal served anywhere. Cooked to order, a fat juicy burger, made with high-quality beef on a fresh bun, easily satisfies any carnivore’s meat tooth. Add on a wide choice of extras such as bacon, cheese, onion, mushrooms, tomato, or nearly anything you might desire, and the fin burger becomes an hand-crafted original that satisfies without breaking the bank. You’ll have no problem finding great burgers in Myrtle Beach. From inexpensive classic, thin, diner-style, to fat, gourmet masterpieces, they’re all waiting for you to discover and devour.

Myrtle Beach Burger & American Restaurants

River City Cafe

Regularly voted “best burger on the beach,” the many ultra-casual, rustic, River City Café restaurants serve up burgers any way you like them, or pick from one their tried and tested varieties: the classic House Cheeseburger, or the California Burger with mozzarella, pepperoni and marinara sauce, the Black & Blue Burger, the Three Alarm Fire Burger smothered in hot sauce, jalapenos and pepper jack cheese, or any one of more than two dozen creative choices.

Burky's Grill

Serving up a classic grilled burger, Burky’s is an old-fashioned burger joint straight out of American Graffiti. Where else are you going to find fresh, double burger combos (drink and fries included) for $6? Sure they have Cincinnati Chili (made with spaghetti, cheese and onions), hot dogs, corn dogs, soups and salads, and even veggie burgers, but Burky’s in known for its classic. Taste good ol’ fashioned Americana in every bite.

Peaches Corner

At the corner of Ninth Avenue North and Ocean Boulevard in Myrtle Beach, Peaches Corner is not just a classic breakfast, lunch and dinner counter, it’s a historic destination. Since 1937, Peaches Corner’s cooks have been flipping burgers and hotdogs for literally millions of vacationers and locals alike. Ask for your burger and milkshake prepared any way you like, or try a Peaches classic, such as the Frankenburger topped with chili, cheese, and a butterflied hot dog.

Five Guys

The award-winning Five Guys restaurants have grown since 1986 to more than 1,000 locations covering most of the U.S. The hot dogs and few sandwich options play second fiddle to the wide variety of burgers. The hand-cut french fries, cooked in 100-percent peanut oil, are so popular they come with their own pedigree, posted on the wall. Focusing on a few items done well, Five Guys has raised the bar for burgers and fries.
