Golden Egg

We were taking our pets to the and seen this place. The parking lot was full but they still have ample parking around back. I was worried being gluten-​free I would be very limited. Probably just bacon and eggs. NOT the case. The staff is wonderful. Waffles, pancakes and french toast. I chose a Grand Strand Omelet with home fries and had GF free waffle. Everything was amazing. The waffle is so tasty, I ordered one to go. Make sure you are hungry. The vegetables in my omelet was still crisp and vibrant in color. The portions are considerably large for the price. Oh, even if they charged 2 times what we paid, the portions are huge.

Place is dirty, bathrooms are dirty
Order 2 eggs home fries toast
just enough home fries on the plate to say, home fries, told the waitress she agreed and added a few more.
Too many good places to go, will not eat
there again
Charlie’s, DeadDog better choices for
breakfast:

Huge helpings of satisfying breakfast goodies. Waffles are nice and «eggy» — worth a try for sure!

We decided to try the Famous Golden Egg, for breakfast, this morning. We have heard some great reviews but were always afraid it would be too crowded on a Sunday morning.
We pulled into the driveway and could not believe how many cars were already there. The lot out back is even larger and can easily accommodate 100 cars.
We were seated immediately, by a very friendly waitress, who brought coffee in a pot and a pitcher of iced water. That scored lots of points with both of us.
The service is excellent and our food arrived just minutes after we ordered. Every part of my breakfast was excellent. I opted for my usual, two over easy, crisp home fries, link sausage and white toast. The sausages were the hands down winner on the plate. Done perfectly and very savory. Eggs were jumbo and perfectly cooked, potatoes done very nicely with no added surprises and they serve real toast, not the mini bread most places down here pretend is toast.
Our server was at our table several times to check on us and she even asked if we wanted a to-​go cup for coffee or iced water. That’s not something we have ever experienced.
My friend had the Breakfast Bowl. Two eggs, a mountain of potatoes, bacon and all smothered in sausage gravy. It could have fed a small family. He enjoyed it but confessed that he cold not finish it.
When you have as many people in a restaurant as they had this morning, and the service and food are excellent, you have to ask, «What do they know that all the other places here haven’t figured out?»
They have earned a great reputation here at the Beach, and now we know why.
Don’t let the crowd of cars in their lot scare you away. They can easily handle tables for 12 down to individual diners.
Did I say that the service is incredible?
We have a new favorite place for breakfast here at the Beach… oh yes and the prices are right in line and very affordable. It’s a family place with a huge menu, so deciding on what to order will take you longer than it takes to bring your meal.
I truly hope you try this place and enjoy a great experience at The Golden Egg. It was like «Riding on the Bus To Flavortown».

This is my families favorite spot to eat breakfast in Myrtle Beach.

Great food, huge portions, good value and kids menu, and very friendly and fast service! Would definitely hit this spot again! Pancakes, omelets, and sausage links are HUGE! The homefries are delicious!

Great breakfast. Could go without the whole «God» thing on the menu but whatever we are south of the Mason-​Dixon.

This is our favorite breakfast restaurant near Myrtle Beach. Just a few miles south on kings highway in Surfside Beach.
The staff is fast, friendly and efficient
Their breakfast menu is huge. All the egg dishes we have tried have been exceptional.
The eggs are fresh and are all EXTRA LARGE. With the egg choice you have many options some include their fantastic pancakes or waffles.
My favorite is the meat lovers omelette. It is a challenge to finish since it is so big. It includes bacon, sausages, ham and cheddar cheese.
I have always had to take some home. Usually part of the waffle or pancakes which go well with ice cream at the end of the day.
Skip the buffets and go for the quality of THE GOLDEN EGG. I think you will be pleased.

This was our first visit, the food was decent and the portions were generous. Eggs were cooked as requested (no runny whites) the sausage patties were a bit tough, thinking maybe because it was later in the morning. Grits were bland, but fixable with butter and salt.
Dining room was open and spacious. We plan to return next time we visit Myrtle Beach :)

We have been coming to the golden egg for at least 7 years. The food is excellent and always consistent. The portions are ample and will leave you full for the day! The service is typically great… Katie is excellent and always in such a great mood.
I’d recommend the any of the omelette’s though the bacon and cheese is always great! The pancakes are awesome… biscuits with sausage gravy are delicious. I can’t recall ever having disappointing food here!

Awesome breakfast! Service was great even though it was packed. The eggs were awesome! We also had a full breakfast including chocolate chip pancakes and French toast. Everything was great!

Excellent service! This place is always packed but they find a way to accommodate patrons in a timely manner with a smile.
I sincerely appreciate the carafe of coffee that greets patrons as they are seated as chips and salsa are at Mexican restaurants. If you’re a local, you’ll also be greeted by name and handed your own personal coffee cup from the wall with your preferred table number.
It seems all the food is served from a buffet line – nothing served was hot. Maybe that’s how they crank it out so fast and turn the tables so quickly…
The Famous Barnyard featured a previously frozen sausage patty that couldn’t be saved by the over generous slathering of bland sausage gravy. But the biscuits were buttery, soft, and delicious.
I had a southern spin on Eggs Benedict… fried chicken on a biscuit with sausage gravy and poached eggs. Unfortunately the only part of the dish that was made to order was over done and my eggs were barely runny.
The feature of my experience was the pecan pancakes topped with bananas – yummy and fluffy. Def the best part of the meal.
I took a giant cinnamon bun to go… from seeing it on others’ tabletops, this may just be worth a an extra star all on its on but we’ll see!

FABULOUS waiter, Matt, was so friendly and the right amount of attentiveness. We were also seated in a spacious booth the moment we arrived even though the place was continuously packed. My bf loved the chipped beef and his gravy meal and I had a delicious fiesta omelette with home fries!

So many gluten free options! Waffles, toast, French toast, pancakes…
Fast service, great prices, delicious food.
Even on the busiest days of the year, with people lined up outside, it was only a 20 minute wait.

The place was packed when we arrived. The hostess and waitress were very friendly.
I tried the chipped beef, 2 scrambled eggs, and grits since it had the most reviews, and I wanted to try something new. The grits were a little bland. If you ask for cheese, they add lots of shredded cheddar to the top. The eggs wet cooked very well. I didn’t need cheese to eat them. The biscuits were delicious too. I would probably never get it again (the beef was a little salty), but I would come back to try the cinnamon bun and one of the bowls with gravy.
JJ picked the Italian chicken omelette, home fries, and French toast. No ketchup was needed for the eggs, so it was deemed a winning combination. The Italian included mushrooms, onions, peppers, chicken, red sauce/​marinara, and Mozzarella cheese. The French toast complemented the omelette very well.

Best breakfast at the beach! Nothing comes even close to the quality and service you will get at the Golden Egg. Everything is fresh and I believe mostly from scratch. You can hear them scrambling the eggs to order from the kitchen. Most places crack a whole bucket of eggs and scoop a portion out. The waffles are the best ever! Unlike waffles I’ve ever had. Crisp and light with a subtle flavor I can’t put my finger on. They have real blueberries in the pancakes and real butter to serve with them. We’ve been here many times and there hasn’t been a loser dish yet. They make me adventurous in my ordering because everything has been so wonderfully satisfying.
They offer items for all different dietary concerns. Gluten free items, turkey sausage, they are so accommodating to everyone. Great place to bring the whole family. Everyone will find something to satisfy.
The only drawback I can think of is that at times you will wait a while for a table and the lobby is tiny. But, the locals are friendly so it doesn’t seem like the wait is that long.
Last thought, get the kids a bottomless cup of cocoa. It’s so good

Excellent Service and Attitude!
Wife ordered Fiesta Omelette, it was a little too spicy for her, they insisted on making her another omelette, Ham & Cheese.
All the food was great (even Fiesta!) and there was a lot of it!
Omelettes were fluffy & so were pancakes.
All the staff was prompt and courteous & Stacy was SPOT ON!
If your near here & want comfort food, you can’t go wrong with the Golden Egg!
Thanks for a great Brunch!
We left Full & Content!

A huge coffee pot filled with decent coffee and a bowl full of half-​n-​half and sugar packets at your table is a good sign at any breakfast place.
A gigantic South Carolina Omelette with pretty much everything in it was brought to my table in an amazingly short amount of time. Said huge omelette also arrived with copious amounts of yummy grits, a huge warm biscuit, and hot sauce upon request.
The service was speedy, kind, and professional, complete with a smile. Always a good thing in the morning, when the only word I know is «Coffee».
The atmosphere is that of a well laid out dining hall with tables in the middle and booths along the wall.
A few tips for the uninitiated:
The busy parking lot is open-​air, just off the highway, so be careful parking and leaving!
The menu is large and diverse, filled with all sorts of good eats.
Pay your bill at the front. Leave the tip with the wait staff.
Apparently, if you dine here often enough, you can get a dedicated coffee mug with your name and booth number on it for future visits.

We chose the place because of the Unilocal reviews. I’m not a huge fan of the outside décor, but we loved the food. For a Saturday morning in November, it was packed.
I ordered the house Omelet with home fries and pancakes. My boyfriend ordered the chipped beef with 2 eggs. We also ordered coffee and the cinnamon roll that is all over Unilocal.
The coffee was okay, and we would’ve preferred ceramic cups over the plastic ones, but everything else was super yummy. The omelet was stuffed with goodies. I didn’t know I even liked Chipped Beef until today and we’re talking about going back tomorrow to get it again before we go home!). His sunny-​side up eggs were prepared pretty close to perfect (could’ve cooked a few seconds longer, but still great!).
The service was very good too. Like I said, we will be going back! :-)

When we pulled into the parking lot, on a weekday and it was almost completely full, we knew that was a good sign. It was packed but we were seated and served right away. My daughter ordered the country fried steak and said that it was excellent. It looked to have too much gravy though, I would’ve opted for the gravy on the side. She also mentioned that the sweet tea was excellent. I wasn’t in the mood for breakfast so I ordered from the lunch menu. You can order from the breakfast and lunch menu at any time. I got the grilled chicken Greek platter, which included a Greek salad, grilled chicken, pita bread and a white sour cream like sauce. The service was excellent and the food was brought to us very soon after we ordered. If you’re looking for a southern style breakfast place, this is it.
They have a Unilocal check-​in offer which scores this place six stars from me.
