Farm-to-table
Located on the corner of Ocean and 21, across from The Breakers Resort, is the newest restaurant and bar to open in Myrtle Beach. Here at Strong Waters we strive to support all things local including businesses, the community, local farmers and artisans. We shop at local farmers markets in the area for herbs, cheeses, produce and sustainable fish found on our menu as well as the produce we utilize behind the bar.

At Strong Waters, we take the meaning of craft to the next level by sourcing only the freshest and highest quality ingredients for our cocktails and cuisine. We utilize the “Farm to Shaker” method for our cocktails, meaning we create unique drinks from local ingredients that transport you to another time and place. Our craft beer list is constantly changing and we only select beer from breweries around the state to give you a true taste of the Carolinas. Speaking of taste, we believe you’ll love our take on the flavors of the Lowcountry in the dishes on our main menu!

    Food was good-tge meat had a subtle smoke flavor,not over powering, loved the brisket and bbq wings which were done so well! The corn was a little too acidic for me, but the food overall as very good! Also service was quick! the staff was wonderful esp as we had a 10month old, they even had a high chair ready at our table. Also music was good😊Great restaurant

    Unfortunately, this was our first and last visit to this restaurant. To say that the food and service were subpar is giving it a ton of credit. Unfortunately, barely any of our meal was edible . And they were so understaffed that it took forever to receive anything. Would not recommend.

    This place is just so good. We ate here twice during our 1 week vacation. They do an excellent job from start to finish. The ambiance, drinks, food and service are the best we have found in the area. You can tell they care about the experience customers have. The tables are spacious and not packed on top of each others. Great bourbon selection. The Tri-tip will not disappoint. My children ate brussels sprouts. Skip the crowded chains and go here. Ask Bernard to make you a double orange old fashioned.

    Great food and great service! Mallory was wonderful with awesome recommendations. Everything we had was excellent- low country dip, wings, crab cake, brick chicken and the bbq. The drinks were top notch as well- Old Fashioned, Ruby Rose, Lemon Berry Mojito were our favorites. Definitely recommend going!

    Don’t waste your time or money. The food was average with high prices. I ordered smoky ceasar dressing as stated on the menu. The waitress said the cook said there wasn’t smoky dressing just charred lettuce. When we asked about the aged steak the waitress said “well it’s covered in mold” the service was slow and unprofessional. The fact the restaurant was empty at 5:30 should have tipped us off but we fell for the obvious fake high reviews.

    Tried the Brisket and was very disappointed, it was rather tough and looked like it was heated on the grill, not sure what was going on. The waitress did mention it was just getting done so maybe it was rushed. The crab cakes were good but mayo based more like an imperial. Street corn was great but rather spicy for some. Overall it was fair.

    Deserves more traffic than it’s getting. Made our reservation based on Open Table score and was surprised by how empty it was. Great location, easy parking in The Breakers deck should make this a popular place. Cocktails were great & good selection. Our appetizer (low country dip), dessert (banana pudding cheesecake trifle) and my crab cake were all fantastic! Scallops tasted great but were a bit overcooked on one side & asparagus was overcooked. Our server - Tiffany - was fabulous! She gets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Great meal. This is a new restaurant as of thos writing, so they need to build their customer base and get some ambiance going. But the food was excellent. Low Country Dip was very tasty (but filling). Rib Stack was the best ribs I have EVER had. Mixed salad and sliders were excellent as well. One of the best meals we have had in Myrtle Beach.

    Stopped in for dinner tonight since we were in the area. Decent menu and we decided on the BBQ chicken tacos and tri tip steak & cheese sandwich. We both enjoyed our meals, however my fries were not overly hot. Kaitlyn was our server and she was friendly, attentive, checked back and didn't auction off the food. They don't add any service charge or "operational fee" for using credit cards, which we appreciated. Just goes to show that if you give servers an incentive to give good service, most of the time they will, and Kaitlyn did. Prices are par for the course for a tourist area (a bit high), but since it was good, it's OK.

    The cornbread was outstanding. The crab cake was the best I’ve ever had. The rib meat literally fell off the bones. The low country dip is a dish I would order again. I would definitely recommend eating at the restaurant.

    We chose this restaurant based on reviews but when we walked in at 6:45 on a Saturday night, it was empty. Not a good sign... but our server was very friendly and efficient and the food was just ok. I had the fish tacos and my friend said her chicken was dry and the comments about the burgers were not great. It was birthday celebration and there were 6 of us and it was a bit of a let down. Sorry.

    Cute place. We went on a Wednesday evening during spring break. Our server was friendly and hard-working. Sadly they are clearly understaffed, as she was the only server working. One bartender - good cocktail, but we were there 40 minutes before we got our drinks, and an hour before we got our food. Food was really, really good. If they can fix their staffing issue, we would go there again in a heartbeat.

    Strong Waters is a hidden gem! We went in on a Saturday night and were so impressed by the the quality of the food and the level of service. Our waiter (Bernard?) made several recommendations, and all were good. Of particular note is the Low Country dip, which had my family scraping the bowl to get every last bit out. The only negative is that we came in right after a large party, so our meals were a little slow coming out. But even with that, our server was attentive, letting us know we were next up and making sure our drinks were full.

    My husband and I tried out this new restaurant because we wanted to be on the ocean. The first issue we encountered was that there was no parking anywhere. Everything nearby is a tow zone. They are on the busiest tourist street with no dedicated parking! We went in the dead of winter and found a single space on the street about 7 blocks away. The ambiance was nice and they had live music. I had already viewed the menu and chose scallops. When dinner came it was nicely presented on the plate. Everything tasted great except the asparagus. It was itsy bitsy thin, shrunken, and tasteless. I would say to try it and you decide.

    Convenient location close to resorts. Some items on the menu were not available (would be helpful if server notified us ahead of ordering which items were not available). However, the dishes we were able to order were delicious. Definitely recommend the crab dip appetizer. Specialty cocktails were okay, but didn’t really measure up to true craft cocktail standards.

    Great food and spectacular cocktails. The only downside was that the musician was very, very loud — Like 80 decibels kind of loud. While we enjoyed his energy and song selections, we could not have conversation with our server because she couldn’t hear our questions and we couldn’t understand her discussion. The price we paid for our meal compared to the quantity of the food and the quality of ingredients was fanTastic. Would absolutely come here for dinner again, but only after Checking the live music schedule.

    Unfortunately there was no one eating in the restaurant when we arrived. The bar and restaurant were staffed by one person, the appetizers and main course arrived at the same time even though the apps were ordered 15 minutes prior. The pimento shrimp dip had very little shrimp and the steaks were OK. I ordered medium and it came out more medium well. The drinks were good, saving grace
