This adventure was on a whim so I had no reservation. "As a long time Montgomery County native, I happened to be driving down HWY 105 on a Monday (Come Monday it’ll be alright) and realized that I had never stayed at Margaritaville! My prom was at the resort’s predecessor, Del Lago, and I thought to myself, (what would Jimmy Buffet do?) I immediately took a left and made my way to paradise.

Simply stated, you can’t go wrong when you order. All of the dishes are time tested or they wouldn’t be there. If you mention the words “Flamingo Grill” to someone, it is usually followed by “I love their Fried Lobster Bites.” The dish is as iconic as the neon sign on the building. In order to maintain its reputation as a locals’ favorite, Flamingo Grill has been serving some of the finest seafood and steaks on the Grand Strand.
There have been 33 marriages over the years of employees who met while working together and every week is homecoming for prior employees, annual visitors and local residents. Every position is honorable and staff are treated with respect and loyalty, which is mutually returned. Take, for example, the four cooks who have been with both restaurants for 40 years each or the bartenders whose tenures range from 18-35 years. Even though many of Myrtle Beach’s prominent residents started as busboys and waitstaff at the restaurant, the Dinos could not be prouder than of the employees who have made this their career. A smile and positive attitude are the required foundation of every resume. On the menu is printed “Lovingly operated,” and nothing could be closer to the truth. Both live by it and have a good time doing it. Their business relationship has endured through the years thanks to mutual respect and a heartfelt belief that service is an honorable profession. The Flamingo Grill would open nine years later in 1985. Drosas responded “That’s the last thing I want to do.” Fortunately, he changed his mind and Cagney’s opened in 1976. At a Christmas party in 1974, Thompson floated the idea of becoming partners and opening a restaurant together. After they attended college, Drosas entered the world of stocks, bonds and mutual funds while Thompson followed his family roots and opened Dino’s House of Pancakes in North Myrtle Beach.
With a friendship that started 66 years ago at a family gathering and a business partnership spanning 45 years, Dino Drosas and Dino Thompson have managed to nurture and maintain a working atmosphere reminiscent of old Myrtle Beach based on respect, loyalty, honesty and a positive attitude.īoth Dinos are the sons of Greek immigrants and saw early on the possibilities and opportunities available to them. Good guys really do finish first, and the owners of the Flamingo Grill are living proof. Dino Drosas and Dino Thompson have been in business together for years (inset) Reminiscent of when Myrtle Beach was a one-hotel town, the neon sign is a classic.
