Tradition plays a significant role when choosing a place to dine for breakfast. And the following eatery has been dishing it up along the Grand Strand to generations of South Carolinians (and visitors!) for 43 consecutive years. To many, it may seem like an ordinary pancake joint, but for those who’ve grown to love this old diner, it’s more like a home away from home.
The Olympic Flame Pancake House doles out heaping plates of food that any time of day always seems to hit the spot. Whether it's a plate of chicken and waffles, a tall stack of pancakes, or a traditional eggs and bacon breakfast, this restaurant delivers an experience that keeps 'em coming back again and again.
Location could play a major role in the success since the eatery is conveniently located across the street from the Atlantic Ocean and only two short blocks from the famous SkyWheel on the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade.
During the height of the summer season, locals know when to best satisfy their cravings for the delicious fare at the Olympic Flame without waiting in long lines.
And in the off season, there are times when locals dominate the landscape inside this bright and cheery dining room (note, they're closed in December and January for the winter).
But no matter the season, or the line waiting to be seated, the thing everyone (locals and visitors alike) can count on is a consistently great meal featuring fresh ingredients served by a staff that is always friendly and accommodating.
