When you’re heading to the beach, the last thing you want to worry about is what to eat. Fortunately, Myrtle Beach is home to plenty of takeout spots that make it easy to grab lunch and head straight to the sand. Regardless of whether you’re craving seafood, a hearty sandwich, or something light and healthy, there’s something for every beachgoer. In this guide, we’ve rounded up the 5 best restaurants in Myrtle Beach to pick up a picnic lunch and head to the beach.
No Southern picnic is complete without the original white meat that’s deep fried to a golden crisp, but that can be tricky without the proper kitchen utensils.
No problem, if you can fight through the traffic to Maryland Fried Chicken’s downtown location at Five Points. Located just three blocks from the beach, it’s the perfect place to get carryout for a picnic on the ocean.
Unlike the more popular Kentucky version, Maryland-style fried chicken is slightly more spicy but offers the same great side items that make a picnic, plus burgers, sandwiches, fried oysters and fish.
This upscale eatery may be a bit stuffy for the occasion, but it’s the perfect place to pick up some carryout for a family picnic.
Located at the corner of Bob Grissom Parkway and 38th Avenue North, this French cafe puts out a spread of baked goods at the front counter that are designed to get and go.
Tasty breads, rolls, cakes, pies and other desserts are sure to please your brood, and Croissants also serves excellent sandwiches and sides for consumption in the great outdoors.
This buffet-style restaurant is famous for its country cooking, but many diners do not realize that you can take the taste of Magnolia’s home with you.
Simply ask for a to-go box and load it with your favorites from the breakfast, lunch or dinner bar. The cashier will weigh it for you, charge you accordingly and send you on your way.
Located on Ocean Boulevard and 26th Avenue North in Myrtle Beach, it’s just a short walk across the street to a family beach picnic. Fried chicken and pork chops never tasted so good.
Slow smoked pork shoulder over hickory chips is a Southern tradition at most family get-togethers, and you won’t find any better than at Little Pigs.
With locations in Myrtle Beach and Socastee, those craving barbecue can get a family pack on the fly featuring pulled pork, sides, buns, hot sauce and all the fixins to make your picnic complete.
Oh, and don’t forget the excellent side dishes, available in a one-point cup. Brunswick stew, cole slaw, baked beans, fries and hushpuppies are among the home-cooked sides available for those on the go.
Sandwiches are a go-to choice for picnic lunches, and Jersey Mike’s does them better than most.
Serving foot-long subs piled high with meat, cheese and toppings, picnickers can use their hands and sink their teeth into such tasty deli selections such as the Jersey Shore Favorite, the Club Sub and the Philly Cheesesteak.
Pick up a sack full of subs, chips and cookies and carry them to the picnic; you will be the hit of the party. Jersey Mike will even make extra-long sandwiches perfect for picnics. Just be sure to grab lots of napkins.
