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

  • "Encrusted grouper is absolutely marvelous. Can't wait to go back when we're at the beach again"
    Dined on 7/25/2014
  • "Parson's table is a short drive from North Myrtle Beach, SC and the southern NC beaches. We visit every time we are in the area. The food is always well prepared and service excellent."
    Dined on 7/25/2014
  • "I ordered the special of the day which was a cornbread encrusted Grouper. The cornbread was very thinly coated and the grouper just melted in my mouth. This may have been the best seafood dinner I've ever had!"

  • "My steak was undercooked (well done should not be raw in the middle) and a bit fatty. My wife's grouper was good though."

  • "I have been to the Parsons Table on 3 separate occasions and have always had a great dining experience.....I highly recommend this dining establishment!"
    Dined on 7/22/2014
  • "We ordered the wrong thing I guess. The history is well-told and the stain glass windows make for a unique atmosphere. The menu is diverse, as are the evening specials. Although it is likely a matter of taste, the she crab soup was not the best I've had in the Little River, North Myrtle Beach area. It tasted bland and it was darker in color than I've seen she-crab soup served before. We both ordered the locally caught pecan encrusted flounder. The chef takes the word 'encrusted' quite literally, as pecans were the only thing we could taste. After scraping some of them off, the fish was decent, but nothing great. And we love flounder! Next time I'll order something different. The table next to us loved the grouper."

  • "Prices were reasonable for a 5 star restaurant. The she crab soup was delicious as was the lamb. The short ribs were outstanding however they could have given you two instead of one. The sorbet for dessert was beyond belief.o"

  • "Charming restaurant off the beaten path in Little River. Complimentary cheese & crackers to start, a fresh salad with seconds if you want them, warm rolls and cornbread. We ordered the filet and prime rib accompanied by roasted fingerling potatoes (from a choice of 4 starches) and fresh corn and bacon. The meats were cooked and seasoned perfectly and melt-in-your-mouth tender. No room for dessert, but the banana-pineapple-praline sounded heavenly. Can't wait to go back to try the seafood. We're originally from RI where there's a wealth of excellent restaurants. The Parson's Table rivals the best of them for food and value."

  • "Love the Parson's Table. However, we wanted to linger over our appetizers and drinks and our waitress rushed us to order telling us she can manage her time in serving us and if we lingered our order could get placed behind other much larger orders. We were with friends from out of town and our idea was to have a leisurely time visiting and eating. Not very attentive."

  • "Best restaurant we went to in the myrtle beach area. Food was reasonably priced and delicious. Regional offerings were noteworthy in their variety and presentation. Experienced appetizers, main courses and delicious desserts plus a bottle of wine for much less than expected. Because of beach traffic from surfside nc took about 1 hour 15 to get there but so great !"
