Myrtle Beach Food Challenges

Myrtle Beach Food Challenges

By

Put your appetite to the test with these food challenges in Myrtle Beach. Sign up for a restaurant’s official food challenge to try to earn a spot on their wall of fame and a little prize money (or at least a free meal). The all-you-can-eat foods will be more than most can handle, but the tasty selection of burgers, steak, and pizza makes the experiment worthwhile. For an “unofficial” challenge (a.k.a. a super-huge meal), many of these menus feature larger-than-life dishes, like a two-pound steak or monster burger you can eat to earn the respect of your family and friends. 

From chain restaurants offering national food challenges to local menus with giant dishes to test loyal patrons’ appetites, there’s no shortage of mega-meals to try around the Grand Strand. Get more than your fill of crave-worthy foods and see your name on the wall of fame—or at least enjoy epic bragging rights when you polish off these food challenges in Myrtle Beach:

River City Cafe Burger Challenge

9550 Shore Drive Myrtle Beach, SC 29572

The “Double Dawg Dare Ya” burgers at River City Cafe in Myrtle Beach challenge the diner to finish one of two monster concoctions for the grand prize of personal pride. The “Kitchen Sink” burger is a Texas chili burger with all the fixings, but with grilled cheese sandwiches in lieu of a hamburger bun. The other option is the “OMG” burger, which is a hearty bacon cheeseburger topped with fried onion rings, and stuffed between two fried egg and cheese sandwiches that serve as the bun. Both challenge burgers are served with a pile of fries, two giant fried onion rings, and slaw on the side. This local eatery has several locations across the Grand Strand, including in the Sands Ocean Club.
