Local Knowledge: Top 5 Restaurants at Market Common

August 6, 2012

New York Prime at Market Common is one of the area's best steakhouses.Market Common is a trendy urban shopping district, and it tastes like one too.

Featuring some of the Grand Strand's best dining, Market Common is a great place to go for a night out on your next Myrtle Beach golf trip.

Here are five restaurants in Market Common where you can't go wrong:

* Divine Prime is Market Common’s answer to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and New York Prime, featuring an extensive selection of Grade A Prime cuts of meat and fresh seafood.

If you have a taste for some surf and turf, go amphibious and try the 20-ounce ribeye with a giant lobster tail. Divine Prime is a bit pricy, but it's worth every dime.

* Nacho Hippo: For those not feeling up for a formal dining experience, Nacho Hippo is the way to go.

This Mexican cantina has become a popular watering hole for locals and golfers, with live music and cheap margaritas part of the draw.

But it's the food that has made the Hippo famous, offering spicy dishes like the Hippo Egg Rolls and #@! Nachos. Stick around after dinner for a good time.

* P.F. Chang's: This national chain was greeted with open arms upon its opening, and people are still going back.

That's because P.F. Chang's takes Chinese food to the next level. Diners are encouraged to share dishes so everyone can sample the diverse offerings. The meals for two or more deliver great bang for the buck at Chang's.

* Tommy Bahama's: The same guy who gained fame for his tropical shirts is now doing the same for his Caribbean-style restaurant.

But this isn't some trumped-up licensing agreement like other themed eateries. Diners can expect a true taste of the tropics in an island-like atmosphere.

Enjoy freshly made mojitos on the patio deck to the sounds of Jimmy Buffett while trying the best fish tacos in town.

* Travinia's Italian Kitchen: Myrtle Beach is famous for its great Italian restaurants, and now you can add Travinia to the list.

Travinia's offers all the traditional favorites (folks swear by the chicken piccata), plus some unique twists on the classics. The Italian Nachos are better than they sound.

If you are in search of a good meal on your next Myrtle Beach golf trip, Market Common won’t let you down.
