It comes down to timing more than anything else. If you eat a bit earlier or later than the standard rush, you will usually see a big difference in how long you wait. Locals rarely show up at peak dinner time during busy season because that is when most of the crowd is also arriving from the beach or attractions. Another helpful habit is choosing places based on where you already are instead of driving across town right when everyone else is also heading out. That one change alone cuts down a lot of waiting. Myrtle Beach has enough dining options that you can find something nearby without needing a reservation for every meal.
