Paula Deen's Family Kitchen, Southern restaurant at Broadway at the Beach, Myrtle Beach, US
Paula Deen's Family Kitchen is a Southern restaurant spread across two floors, with a retail store on the ground level and a 300-seat dining room with lake views on the upper level. The venue combines shopping and dining in one place for visitors who want to do both activities together.
The establishment opened in 2017 as part of Broadway at the Beach and brought traditional Southern cooking methods and recipes to South Carolina's coast. The restaurant follows cooking techniques and flavors that have been passed down through generations in Southern food culture.
The restaurant follows the family-style dining tradition where groups share large platters of Southern classics like fried chicken and catfish with many side dishes together. This way of eating creates a sense of togetherness at the table and encourages guests to enjoy meals as a community.
The restaurant sits in a popular shopping and entertainment complex that is easy to navigate on foot and offers plenty of parking. Visitors should arrive early during peak hours, especially around lunch and dinner times, to avoid long waits.
The attached shop sells cookbooks, recipe collections, and kitchen tools that let guests recreate the dishes at home later on. This approach blurs the line between visiting a restaurant and taking a cooking lesson.
