Bennetts Calabash Seafood Buffet
Bennetts offer an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet in this pirate/ocean-themed adventure. Even before walking in the front door, a pirate is outside to greet guests with balloon animals and other treats. Once inside, the restaurant is decorated with sharks, fish and other sea life hanging from the ceilings and on the walls. While the restaurant is somewhat pricey, the atmosphere is casual, so outdoor and athletic gear will be accepted. Early bird specials (including coupons for $4, $5 and $6 off) are offered to guests that show up between 3 and 5 p.m. Bennett's also takes group reservations and offers deals on group rates. As of 2009, Bennett's has three locations throughout Myrtle Beach. But Bennetts Calabash #1, the original, offers the most seating and variety of food.

Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede
There are only three locations nationally, and Myrtle Beach is proud to be home to one of the famous Dixie Stampede Dinner Attractions. Dixie Stampede offers guests the opportunity to experience a unique dinner theater experience. The show takes guests back to the Civil War with a North-South battle. Dozens of cast members, buffalo, ostriches and over 30 horses are used to create a full musical production with special effects. The menu consists of time-period food, including whole chicken, pork loin, creamy vegetable soup, corn on the cob and potatoes and drinks served from mason jars. The Dixie Stampede offers vacation packages for guests staying at the Ocean Lakes Family Campground, located nearby; discounts are also available for large groups. After the show, guests have the chance to meet the cast (including the horses, buffalo and ostriches) and even take pictures with some of them.

Rioz Brazilian Steakhouse
Rioz offers a dining experience unlike any other in Myrtle Beach. While the hot-and-cold buffet bar might be something found in dozens of restaurants, the staff of servers moving throughout the restaurant is something found in very few places. An idea that became popular in Brazil, guests have the option of choosing from more than 15 cuts of beef, poultry, lamb, pork and fish. The servers are knowledgeable about the cuts and what to choose for different palettes. Guests simply call a server who has the meat they want, and it is artistically cut off a large metal rod directly onto the guest's plate. Rioz is a high-end restaurant, and very pricey, but it's well worth it for any visitor looking to try more than a dozen types and cuts of meat.
