The take
The Take
The Vibe
Fire & Smoke foregrounds live fire and slow smoke as its central identity, positioning a North Myrtle Beach address within the broader American revival of wood-fired and open-hearth cooking. The tone is disciplined rather than fanciful: cooks apply smoke and flame to local coastal seafood and heritage pork with an eye toward technique and provenance. The result reads as modern Southern — informed by Lowcountry and Pee Dee ingredients but filtered through serious, kitchen-forward execution. The dining room mirrors that focus, letting the elemental sensory cues of smoke and char lend a sophisticated, energetic feeling to the experience.
Best For
This is a dinner-forward spot that suits date nights, celebrations and composed group meals where technique and ingredient quality matter. The kitchen’s live-fire and slow-smoke approach elevates local seafood and heritage proteins, so it’s a good pick when you want a memorable, ingredient-led evening rather than a casual resort meal. Parties looking for a distinctly Southern yet contemporary meal—couples, small groups celebrating an occasion, or business diners seeking a focused culinary conversation—will find the restaurant’s balance of rustic technique and fine-dining seriousness appropriate.
Ordering Tips
Let the kitchen’s technique guide your choices: order dishes that showcase live fire and smoke and highlight the region’s larder. The menu’s signature items—U-8 scallops, pork belly and elk chops—represent the restaurant’s approach to seafood, heritage pork and game; they are logical starting points. Ask servers what is coming off the hearth or smoke program that day and how local catch or heritage producers are being featured. Given the emphasis on technique, sharing a selection of a few smoky, grilled and slow-smoked items will give the clearest impression of the kitchen’s strengths.

Restaurant context
How Fire & Smoke compares in Myrtle Beach
Choose Fire & Smoke when the priority is a tighter dinner setting rather than maximum variety. Crabby George's Calabash Seafood Buffet is the better fit for groups that want a broad, volume-driven meal, while Fire & Smoke makes more sense for a smaller table that wants the evening to feel more planned.
For Italian, Lombardo's Italian Restaurant and Gios Italian Kitchen Myrtle Beach are safer cuisine-specific choices. Pick those when the group wants pasta-and-red-sauce comfort; keep Fire & Smoke on the list when the room and dinner mood matter more than a fixed cuisine craving.
Koi and Santorini Greek Kuzina are the better cross-shops for diners who want a clearer cuisine lane. Fire & Smoke is the flexible middle option: easy booking, dinner-only planning, a stronger fit for a date or small group than for a high-volume family meal.
