A word from The Parson's Table

Not only can you get a juicy roast prime rib at The Parson"s Table, but you can eat it inside a church, too. The location remains very much the same structure that it was in 1885, when Little River Methodist Church was built. The cherished establishment first opened its church doors as a restaurant… in the late 1970's and has been serving exquisite American steakhouse fare ever since. The restaurant's decor is positively Southern-charm antique, complete with dark wooden walls, stained glass windows and an original Tiffany glass lamp in the main dining room. An award winning wine list graces The Parson's Table as well as an outstanding fresh seafood selection. Continued

"Every time we come to our place at Sunset Beach, we make an effort to go to the Parsons table. The food is consistently very good, the service impeccable, and the wine and beer selection superb! Can';t wait until the next time!"

"As always the Parson's Table is #1 Have yet to dine any where else in the area better. We had a 5PM reservation and had no wait time. It gets real busy at 6 PM and on. Again it was great. The waitress was great and always smiling. The food outstanding. I had thee best Prime Rib I have ever eaten and my wife always orders the Rack of Lamb. Excellent"

"We received a special welcome, private table and an incredible dining experience. Two Boston food snobs find the Parsons Table to be as good food as you will find. The trout was superb and the rack of lamb was prepared to perfection! Loved the seafood platter appetizer."

"we had a wonderful time at the restaurant! We drove down from New York City and we're celebrating my girlfriend's birthday. Could not have asked for a better staff, could not ask for better food, could not have asked for better ambiance. The restaurant is adorned in stained glass dating from the early and late 1800's. just a beautiful setting and a wonderful place to enjoy a special occasion"

"Gluten=free menu appreciated. However, chicken and shrimp curry dish not quite as tasty as it was the first time we had it. Server very friendly and helpful."

"This is one time I would disagree with the AAA rating-The Parsons Table should be rated as a 4diamond restaurant instead of three diamonds."

"This is the best restaurant experience in the U.S. and each time it gets better."

"The Parson's Table was a wonderful dining experience. It 's unique building (a former church) and stained glass is a great setting for their delicious food. The special entree that I had on Friday was the best tuna I have ever tasted. The service was impeccable - thank you Sam. I look forward to my next visit!"

"I love this place. The history behind the building, the stained-glass windows, and the delicious food and thoughtful wine selection. Dining at Parson's Table makes any occasion special. The only reason for four (instead of five) stars: There is a bit of room for improvement on the service. With minimal effort, this will be a memorable dining experience - from the atmosphere, the exquisite meals and choice wine pairings. Will return at every opportunity."

"Best food I've had in a long time. Fit for kings and queens! Such healthy portions I was able to enjoy it again the next day, and the "leftovers" are JUST as delicious. The atmosphere is interesting with its history and so beautiful. Waitstaff is knowledgeable and made too many great suggestions. The portions for the price are AMAZING! I cannot wait to go here again!"

"The Parson's Table never disappoints! Being Valentine's Day I ordered flowers from Buds & Blooms, which was recommended by The Parson's Table, to be delivered. The staff insured that they were at the table and arranged the table to highlight the flowers. The service was perfect and the food was delicious. We always try to go the The Parson's Table when we visit Myrtle Beach. It is worth the trip!"

"I took my wife there for Valentine's day. She was greeted with a long stem rose and we were seated promptly. Crackers and dip were waiting for us. Service was incredible as they were sold out! We were served salads and the waiter left a large bowl of EXTRA salad should we want more! Bread basket featured rolls and warm corn bread. Both Entrees were some of the best food that we have ever had. We ordered items that we don't normally get and the presentation was superb and portions were very good. The meal concluded with my wife getting a complimentary desert that was terrific. How about the value...I had 2 drinks and me wife had a glass of wine. With tip the total bill was less than $90. There is a reason that this place is rated #1 ."

"The extra touch of a rose for Valentine's Day was very nice. It added to a wonderful night of good food and good wine. Would recommend The Parson's Table to any one for any occasion."

"This restaurant is consistently excellent. Varied and different menu with food very well prepared. I rate this an unexpected find well worth returning to."

"The house salad was delicious as usual--a bit heavy on the dressing but good none-the-less. Three of the four meals were excellent, including mine which was not what I ordered, but since it was good I was happy to keep it. The fourth meal, Weiner Schnitzel, was a disappointment. Overall, it was a very enjoyable evening in beautiful surroundings and (for the most part) great food. The Parson's Table is one of my favorite restaurants."

"Wonderful ambiance. Spectacular meal. Very pleased with the tasty gluten- and dairy-free choices. I wish more restaurants would showcase creative chefs who develop fine dining options for the growing number of patrons seeking alternatives to wheat and dairy. It's simply in marinades, delicious sauces and condiments! Bravo to Parsons Table chef! You are a true artist. Also glad to have NZ Sauvignon Blanc wine option."

"My husband and I celebrated our anniversary by having dinner at the Parson's Table. The food was great, and the mushrooms were outstanding. We both had the Early Bird prime rib that was totally enough meat. The staff even provided us (and our next table companions also celebrating an anniversary) with a dessert treat for our special occasions."

"Fine dinners for the six of us. We all had different dinners and everyone loved their meals. Service was outstanding!"

"We've been visiting the Little River area for over two years now, and finally got to the Parson's Table. My father is a retired Methodist minister, and he and my step-mother came to visit the area. What a treat it was to take him to the Parson's Table, with the history of the church. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Food was outstanding! Will come again."

"We have eaten there twice with in the last month and both times have been GREAT!"
Dined on 2/7/2014
"I had the prime rib the meat was larger than what I expected and it had a velvet texture . I absolutely love the cheese taster that awaits you at the table very old school supper club as well as the family style house salad that comes with entrees. Overall food was quite good. But, I inquired about the trout special asking if it was "a fillet" and the waitress replied "no its a type of fish" considering trout is more often than not served whole my question was reasonable. The waitress proved throughout her service to be just as ignorant, classless, and inept as her reply. All other waitresses appeared to be the same or obnoxious. So other than the cornbread cornbread in the south should NEVER be sweet food and ambiance was good service NOT"

"Went on a Friday night, with reservations, which I'd suggest. Lots of character -old church-stained glass windows, old wood floors. A nice refreshing change from the typical area restaurants. Varied menu-lots to chose from, including specials. Pecan chicken and the tuna special were both amazing! Entrees served with cheese and crackers before hand, a salad, starch, and vegetable. Our waiter was very attentive, almost too much so. Liked the way he gave prices on specials. Food and menu choice was 5 star."

"Chose the Parson's Table for our 20th Wedding Anniversary Celebration Exceeded our expectations even though we have been to the restaurant on prior occasions with both a small and large group."

"Everything from the presentation to the delightful taste of the Rainbow Trout stuffed with shrimp and crab was flawless. I would recommend this lovely old church for dinner to anyone."

"I have eaten at this restaurant a couple of times and really enjoyed the food. I had made reservations with a request that this was a birthday dinner. Upon arrival at the restaurant (10 minutes early) we were confirmed with reservation. Hostess then basically ignored us, others were seated ahead of us, (one group without reservation). We had to approach hostess second time. Finally seated, in small dining room, very noisy, no mention or acknowledgement of birthday reference. Location of table in back room was awkward and my date couldn't comfortably get to his chair which caused rearrangement of place setting which seemed to tick off the hostess. I found her to be rude and not friendly or helpful at all."

"Food presentation was excellent. Had flounder, while the presentation was great (ie pecan encrusted) taste was, well,fishy. Fish may not have been as fresh as expected. Oysters on half shell were from Mass and not NC...disappointing when you are looking for fresh local... Vegetables (green beans) excellent."

"Tried Parson's Table during Restaurant Week. Food was exceptional and well worth going back for at full price. The night we went, the restaurant was packed and it was a bit noisy. We enjoyed the she-crab soup, prime rib and key lime pie for dessert. They had a nice wine list as well."

"While the building is historic, apparently so is its heating system. we were there on a very cold winter night, the inside temperature was about 60 degrees. Both of steaks were overcooked, ordered MR came about medium and med well...desserts were very good as was the service from Joanne."
Dined on 1/24/2014
"While this was the second time I was at the restaurant, I would say, that this visit was somewhat disappointing. This time we were in a different room and it was very cold and drafty. We mentioned it to the waitress and she was trying to get a space heater in the room but was unsuccessful. We ate with our coats on. The food was good but not spectacular - like it was in the fall when I was there. The waitress did not bring my salad before my steak arrived. She did apologize. My steak was ok ~ way to rare as I ordered medium. I would go back again but with totally different expectations on quality and service."

"Food, service and ambiance were incredible. We had made a last minute reservation on a Friday night looking for a romantic dinner. Parson's Table was very accomadating and it was a wonderful experience. Highly recommended. One of our favorite places when we visit mrytle beach."

"The Parson's Table offers fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere at very affordable prices. Menu choices meet every person's preferences and exceed expectations for quality, presentation, etc. This is definitely a favorite for any special occasion."
