You definitely don’t have to worry about the lack of variety when you go for a burger at River City Cafe!

Margaritaville
Even though it’s known for its wide variety of delicious beverages, Margaritaville offers up great burgers inspired by acclaimed recording artist Jimmy Buffett. Located at Broadway at the Beach, this dining establishment immerses you in the sights, sounds, and tastes of the Islands! Try the signature Cheeseburger in Paradise, featuring American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. For a burger with an Italian flare, try their Caprese Burger, which comes with fresh mozzarella cheese, tomato, fresh basil, and a balsamic glaze. There are many other hamburger options on the menu, as well as something a little bit different: the Bison Burger topped with gouda cheese, tomato, lettuce, and BBQ aioli.

Though they serve an array of food selections including sandwiches and salads, the namesake burgers are what make this place a gem. Try out The Melt, a 1/3 lb. burger, topped with American “government” cheese, bacon, caramelized onions, house-made pickles, and mustard, served between thick-cut bread slices, or go traditional with The Our Burger, featuring all of your favorite accompaniments. Travel back to your childhood when you get Mom’s Sloppy Joe, an open-faced sandwich on thick sliced griddled bread smothered with house-made sloppy Joe and finished with crispy onions, Paul’s signature Wahl sauce, and house-made cheese sauce. We like this winning combination! Stop by Broadway at the Beach and give Wahlburgers a try.

Poppy’s Burgers & Subs
Located just south of Myrtle Beach in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Poppy’s Burgers & Subs is a locally-owned and operated dining establishment that focuses on fresh and never frozen hamburgers. There’s no shortage of choices when you dine at Poppy’s.
