Pop's Place

"We were on vacation there and love karaoke it's a awesome place to do karaoke every night and the bartender is amazing as well as the kj and owner of the place I will be back next winter it's my home away from homekaraoke bar now will be back next winter"

"Ok so weird I know but I'm 8 months pregnant. I love the karaoke and they don't judge me for coming in drinking some ginger ale and singing from time to time. Tonight I ordered loaded nachos which I never knew they had. It was the most appetizing thing I've eaten all week. It's so hard right now to find food I can stomach but I was hungry and went for it and it did NOT disappoint like I need more and soon lol. This place is honestly so great."

"Went there for a quick drink and bite to eat before our flight back home.. food was good and Clyde was awesome!!! Made us feel at home and enjoy our last stop before we left Myrtle beach!! Definitely will come back again when we return!"

"Let's start with the first thing you notice once you step into Pop's: the cigarette smoke. The cigarette smoke in there is visible and soaks through every fiber on your body. The ceiling tiles are all yellow as well. I would normally leave a bar or restaurant if it smelt that bad, but it was late, and we didn't have many options other than Pop's within walking distance from our rental. Had I read the 1 star reviews from numerous people, I wouldn't have trusted the quality of the 5 star reviews that come from their regulars/people who don't order food. So here's what happened - 4 of us got to Pop's and ordered at 9:47pm. We had a simple order of 1 cheeseburger, 1 chicken philly, 1 chicken quesadilla, and 1 order of onion rings. We stayed because the bartender said it'd be a reasonable 20-25 minutes. 10:30pm rolls around, and we start getting curious about where the food is. The bartender sees this and tells us that they are working on it and the cook is "only one person". She said it wouldn't be much longer, and that they had an order before us. We listened to karaoke as we waited more. Time kept passing without any indication that our food was coming. Then 2 bags of food get to the window, and we assume it's ours. Nope. Apparently an employee was getting that food. So we ask around 11 how much longer we should expect. Bartender says that the cook is boxing it up right now. Well, you guessed it, he was not. We tell her that the 25 minute estimate was fine, but we are almost at 1.5 hours. The bartender then says that the cook is "a little slow" in a tone that didn't seem to convey the speed to which he works, but rather his mental state. The way she acted towards us and him was very rude and out of line. Either she knew the cook was slow and quoted us something totally off base, or she was trying to make us drop the complaints by saying there was a mental deficiency. We said we would have understood if the wait was that long, but we were justifiably upset that we had been in there 3x the amount of time we were quoted without any hint of food incoming. Her response was that the cook was "literally boxing it up right now" and that the cook boxed up the wrong food, but they are working on it. 5-6 dine in orders come out of the window and get delivered to a table that had been there longer than us. 15 more minutes and she offers a refund that she never actually gave us because the cook was once again "literally boxing it up right now". At this point, we were so fed up with the hostile bartender, the long wait, and the smoke inside the place. I decide to ask the 2 women sitting in front of us at the bar how long their food took. They agreed that it was about an hour, but they were drinking, so the time didn't bother them. They asked our situation, which we explained. We told them we were about to leave and not even bother to ask again for the refund. If the food magically came out, it would be theirs. One of the ladies (it was her birthday the next day) offered us $40 for the food so we didn't leave empty handed. We declined that, but thanked her for being so sweet while they were also on vacation. While we were talking, the food finally came up in the window (at 11:46pm) from a surprise new cook. With that, we were off to see if the food was edible. Shocker...it was not. See the photos below to get a better idea. The cheeseburger was rock hard, the chicken quesadilla either had burnt tortilla or mushrooms in it, the onion rings were falling apart and sitting in grease, and the fries were flavorless. The chicken philly was the only somewhat edible food. 0/5 stars would be my review, especially because we waited for 2 hours just to shower the stink off of us when we got back, wash our clothes, and throw some odor be-gone spray on our cloth shoes. We are Midwest kind of nice, so it sucks to write such a scathing review for a locally owned business, but they get what they deserve."

"Closest place to our condo that was open. Went to grab a quick bite to eat for four (burger, quesadilla, sandwich, and onion rings). Server told us it would be a 25 minute wait. After about an hour we asked for an update and she said they were packing the order up. She told us that again 2-3 times and finally after 2 hours we had our food. Burger was rock hard and completely inedible. The onion rings and quesadilla were a greasy mess. The sandwich was the only edible item we ordered and it was passable at best. Would give 0 stars if I could. Don’t come here for food unless you’re planning on sticking around and drinking for a long time. It’s also extremely smoky in there."
