RipTydz Oceanfront Grille & Rooftop

This is a large restaurant and rooftop bar on the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk in Downtown Myrtle Beach, just a short walk from the SkyWheel. Spread across three levels with an open-air rooftop at the top, it offers direct views of the Atlantic Ocean and some of the best people-watching on the boardwalk.

The menu sticks to casual American and seafood favorites: seafood towers, she-crab soup, mac and cheese variations, salads and handhelds. The dress code is relaxed, so you can come straight from the beach. Families do well here during the day, especially with the outdoor games and seating out back.

As the evening goes on, the atmosphere shifts. Live music, a busy rooftop bar and a steady flow of visitors make it one of the more high-energy venues on the boardwalk. It is designed for groups, tourists and social gatherings rather than quiet dining, so expect noise and crowds in peak season. For a calmer visit, come for a late lunch; for the full experience, head up to the rooftop around sunset and stay into the night.
