About Blueberry’s Grill – North Myrtle Beach

Blueberry’s Grill at Barefoot Landing sits right on the Intracoastal Waterway — boardwalk, shops, and water just outside the door. We serve made-to-order breakfast, brunch, and lunch.

Our Story: From Little River to the Waterway

The brand started with two close friends from Little River, South Carolina: a young restaurant operator and a U.S. veteran who’d spent his career in the restaurant equipment business. They opened the first Blueberry’s in Myrtle Beach in 2017 — named for the younger partner’s mother and her love of flowers and blueberry trees — and ran it on a few simple rules: fresh ingredients, treat everyone like a regular, rework the classics with care.The summer of 2018 brought that to North Myrtle Beach, on the water at Barefoot Landing. Same standards, different view.
Their simple focus: Use fresh, quality ingredients, Treat every guest like a regular, Reimagine classic dishes with creativity and care.
This philosophy shaped Blueberry’s Grill and guided its growth, including the opening of the North Myrtle Beach location at Barefoot Landing, where the same original spirit continues in a vibrant waterfront setting.

<strong>Fresh Ingredients, Honest Cooking</strong>

Fresh Ingredients, Honest Cooking

Everything’s cooked when you order it — nothing pre-made, nothing sitting around. Pancakes, omelets, the vegetable-forward plates: all fired to order. It takes a few minutes longer. That’s the trade, and it’s the right one.
