These shows offer a unique blend of great food, music, comedy, dance, and theater, making for a memorable time with your friends and family. Let’s explore some of the top dinner shows along the Grand Strand in Myrtle Beach that are sure to spice up your vacation.
1. Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show
Join Captain Blackbeard, Calico Jack, and his crew for a swashbuckling adventure that includes acrobatics, live animals such as parrots, life-sized pirate ships, an indoor lagoon and sea lions, and a four-course feast at the Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show.
SheBuysTravel writer Deb Steenhagen attended the show while on a girlfriend getaway to Myrtle Beach, and her group thoroughly enjoyed it. She said, “It feels almost like Cirque du Soleil at times with pirate acrobats flipping and twisting through the air, into the water and on the ship’s masts and rigging. There’s fire, glow-in-the-dark skeletons, a humorous sea lion, and all while loudly cheering for your team of either Sapphire or Crimson.”
The show’s pirate ships, other props, costumes, and special effects are breathtaking, and the performers’ energy will keep the whole family hooked till the end.
Deb’s group also loved the food, “I’m not usually a fan of cream soups, but their creamy vegetable soup was delicious. They also served roasted chicken, sugar-cured ham, corn on the cob, and potato wedges that were amazingly tasty. Dessert was an apple pie-like turnover, which I again really enjoyed, even though apple pie isn’t usually my thing. Just be prepared – it’s a lot of food!”
Note that vegetarian, dairy-free, and gluten-free options are available upon request.
SheBuysTravel Tip: This show is pricey, but you can save a bit if you sit on the Crimson (rear) side of the show. You’ll still see everything (although a small bit of it will be from behind) and will save about $20/person.

2. Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament
Want to travel back in time to the Middle Ages? Head to Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament. It is a family-friendly dinner show that recreates a royal jousting tournament with knights in armor, horses, and a princess.
When you arrive, you enter the Medieval-style castle by crossing a drawbridge. Once inside, you are crowned with the colors of your kingdom. You’ll cheer for your assigned kingdom as the knights participate in heart-stopping games, battles, and sword fights. Live Andalusian horses are the show’s stars with their impressive power and agility.
You’ll dine with the royal court as the knights joust and the horses race by. They serve a hearty meal of garlic bread, tomato bisque soup, roasted chicken, sweet corn, herb-basted potatoes, and a special dessert. You can look forward to a great show every night.
SheBuysTravel Tip: This dinner show is also a bit outside the main tourist areas of Myrtle Beach, located in what appears more like an industrial area. Don’t worry, you’re not lost. The building is very recognizable from the outside once you get close.

Note that although the fire portion of the show used to be conducted outdoors, the entire show is now held indoors.
SheBuysTravel Tip: This show can be difficult to find. It is located inside of St. John’s Inn, but other than one mention on a sign (see above), there’s no way to see it easily from the street. You’ll need to turn into the main driveway of St. John’s Inn, where you will see an entrance on the right that looks like a tiki hut. There’s no sign here, but this is where you enter for the dinner show.
