LJ's Par & Grill in Myrtle Beach: Where to Eat After Your Round

By Constance Obi · Culture & Recreation Writer

What LJ's Par & Grill offers

LJ's Par & Grill is a casual restaurant located at Barefoot Resort & Golf Club in Myrtle Beach, designed specifically for golfers finishing their rounds. The menu centers on American comfort food—burgers, sandwiches, salads, and seafood—with portions and prices pitched toward people who want to refuel without spending an hour at the table. The space overlooks the golf course, so you can sit with a drink and watch other players come in while you eat.

The restaurant operates during daylight hours aligned with the golf schedule, opening early for breakfast and staying open through late lunch and early dinner. It's part of the Barefoot Resort complex, which means if you're playing one of the four courses there, LJ's is your on-site dining option without leaving the property.

Key Takeaways

  • LJ's Par & Grill is located at Barefoot Resort & Golf Club in Myrtle Beach and serves golfers between rounds or after finishing play.
  • The menu features burgers, sandwiches, salads, and seafood at casual pricing, designed for quick meals rather than extended dining.
  • The restaurant has course views and operates on a golf-schedule timetable, opening early and closing by early evening most days.
  • You do not need to be a golfer to eat there, but the atmosphere and timing are built around the golf community.

Menu and pricing

LJ's keeps the menu straightforward. Burgers come with standard toppings and sides like fries or coleslaw. Sandwiches include chicken, fish, and pulled pork options. Salads are available for lighter appetites, and seafood dishes—typically shrimp or fish—rotate based on availability. Appetizers like wings, nachos, and fried pickles are common bar fare.

Pricing sits in the mid-range for Myrtle Beach casual dining. A burger or sandwich typically runs between $12 and $18. Seafood entrées are higher, usually $16 to $24. Sides and appetizers fall between $6 and $12. Drinks include beer, wine, and soft beverages. The restaurant does not require reservations, and you order at the counter or from your table depending on the time of day.

Hours and location

LJ's Par & Grill operates at Barefoot Resort & Golf Club, located at 4980 Barefoot Resort Bridge Road in North Myrtle Beach. The address is easy to find if you're already at the resort; if you're driving separately, GPS will direct you to the main Barefoot entrance, and staff can point you to the restaurant from there.

Hours typically run from early morning (around 7 a.m.) through early evening (around 6 or 7 p.m.), but these shift seasonally and with golf traffic. Winter months may have shorter hours, while peak golf season (spring and fall) may extend service. Call ahead or check the Barefoot Resort website to confirm hours on the day you plan to visit.

Atmosphere and who eats there

The vibe is relaxed and golf-focused. Walls often display golf memorabilia, and the bar area draws players unwinding after their round. You'll see golfers in course attire—polo shirts, golf shorts, and sneakers—mixed with casual visitors. The noise level is moderate; it's social but not loud.

While the restaurant caters to golfers, you do not have to play golf to eat there. Families, tourists, and locals who simply want casual food and a golf-course setting are welcome. The course views make it a pleasant spot to sit for a meal even if you're not a player yourself.

What to expect when you arrive

If you're coming straight from the golf course, you can typically walk in wearing your golf clothes—the dress code is casual. During busy times (late morning and early afternoon), there may be a short wait for a table, but turnover is usually quick since most diners are eating and leaving rather than lingering.

The restaurant is not a full-service fine-dining establishment, so service is efficient rather than elaborate. Staff are accustomed to golfers in a hurry and will move you through the ordering and eating process at whatever pace you prefer. If you want to sit and relax with a drink for an hour, that's fine too.

Parking and access

Parking is available at Barefoot Resort. If you're staying at the resort or playing golf there, parking is included. If you're visiting just for the restaurant, there is public parking at the resort, though you should confirm current parking policies with Barefoot directly, as resort policies can change.

The restaurant is accessible from the main resort pathways. If you have mobility concerns, let staff know when you arrive, and they can direct you to the most convenient entrance and seating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to be a golfer to eat at LJ's Par & Grill?

No. While the restaurant is designed for golfers and located at a golf resort, anyone can dine there. You do not need to play golf or be a resort guest to order food and sit in the restaurant.

Can I make a reservation?

LJ's typically operates on a first-come, first-served basis and does not take reservations. During peak times, there may be a wait, but tables turn over fairly quickly. Call the restaurant directly to ask about their current reservation policy, as it may vary by season.

What time should I arrive if I want to avoid crowds?

Mid-morning (around 10 a.m.) and late afternoon (after 4 p.m.) tend to be quieter than the noon-to-2 p.m. lunch rush. If you're finishing a round, you'll naturally arrive when other golfers do, so expect company during typical finishing times.

Is there a kids menu?

Most casual golf restaurants offer simplified options for children, though you should call ahead to confirm what LJ's currently offers. Burgers and sandwiches are typically available in smaller portions or as standalone items.

Can I bring my own food or drinks?

Outside food and beverages are generally not permitted at on-site resort restaurants. Confirm the policy with LJ's or Barefoot Resort staff when you arrive.
