![]() ![]() We were able to meet the chef after our meal to give him our accolades. The owners (wife and husband) run the front and back of the house. But it delivers in spades where it counts, Service, Food and Price. No it's not in the flashiest location in Myrtle. This is a restaurant that takes a great deal of care and pride in how you are treated, and the food that you are served. With a doubt, this is the keeper restaurant of this years trip, and one of the top meals we have ever had in Myrtle. ![]() We had the house salad, my wife had the Chicken Schnitzel, served with potato salad, fresh cooked cranberries and warm red cabbage, I had the liver served with a large serving of cooked vegetables, and Spetzle, the liver was cooked in a great cream sauce. On a Thursday night we arrived shortly after 8pm and were warmly welcomed. This year the reviews on Tripadvisor brought us to the "Cafe Old Vienna". The large chain restaurants although sometime popular, rarely leave a lasting impression (positive one I mean). Each year we always look for the hidden gem restaurant that offers out standing food, service at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, due to "the boss'" lack of consideration for their customers who actually need that extra space to get into & out of their vehicles, as well as the disinterested attitude I got from the hostess in response to my complaint - I will most likely never return to Cafe Old Vienna, nor will I continue to suggest that anyone visit this restaurant again.So first of all let me say my wife and I have been coming to Myrtle Beach for 10+ years. After basically being brushed off by the hostess, I didn't figure I would get any further with "the boss." My family has not dined at Cafe Old Vienna often, but we have been dining with them since they were in their previous, smaller location and have always considered them a special place to visit for very special occasions. I did take the opportunity to speak with local traffic enforcement after leaving the restaurant to verify that "the boss" using that diagonally-lined zone in that manner was illegal. I went inside once more to tell the hostess this, at which time she told me, "Oh, I meant to tell you - that's the boss' car." I attempted to explain to her that, boss' car or not, it's not legal for them to be parked there (even with the "Authorized Parking Only" sign they had put up) - and she basically stared at me and walked away before I had a chance to finish my sentence. When I went back inside to tell the hostess that someone was parked in that "No Parking" zone, she initially told me, "Oh, well, we use that for extra handicapped parking if we get too busy." At first, I was willing to accept that explanation - until I went back outside and saw that the car in question did not have a handicapped placard, nor did it have a handicapped license plate. Because this person parked in this area, we were forced to remove our car from the handicapped spot and block traffic while helping my elderly family member get into the car. ![]() Having a family member who is over the age of 90 and must use a walker to get around, you can understand how annoying this was. On our way out of the restaurant, we noticed that someone was parked very close to our vehicle (which was in a handicapped parking spot) in a clearly marked "No Parking" zone. Unfortunately, I will most likely never dine here again due to an incident on my most recent visit. I've referred many friends, family members, and visitors here over the past several years, and I've been pleased to see the restaurant grow from its previous location to its new location. I would like to start my review by saying that, as far as food and service goes, Cafe Old Vienna has always been my favorite German restaurant in the Myrtle Beach area. ![]()
