Angelo’s Steak and Pasta has been voted the 2025 Play Golf Myrtle Beach World Amateur People’s Choice Restaurant of the Year. The announcement was made Wednesday at Angelo’s Steak and Pasta (2311 S. Kings Hwy, Myrtle Beach).

“We’re incredibly proud to recognize Angelo’s as this year’s People’s Choice Restaurant of the Year,” said Golf Tourism Solutions Executive Director Ryan Cannon, who presented the award to restaurant owner Angelo Antonucci. “They’ve been a staple at the World Am’s 19th Hole for years, and this honor reflects how much our players, their friends and families love what they do. We’re also deeply thankful for every restaurant that helped make this year’s 19th Hole such a memorable experience. Their passion and hospitality are what make this event truly special.”

Angelo’s was one of 19 Myrtle Beach area restaurants featured at the World Am’s World’s Largest 19th Hole hosted by St. André Golf & Friends in August. Each evening, the nearly 3,000 tournament participants and guests enjoyed an all-inclusive culinary experience featuring complimentary food and drinks, interactive games, a recovery zone, and live entertainment inside the 120,000-square-foot Myrtle Beach Convention Center.

A Myrtle Beach favorite for more than 45 years, Angelo’s Steak and Pasta is home to the self-proclaimed “Greatest Steaks in the Universe” and the Grand Strand’s finest all-you-can-eat Italian buffet. Known for perfectly aged, sizzling steaks and authentic family recipes, Angelo’s continues to be a beloved dining destination for both locals and visitors.

If you haven’t already, be sure to save the dates of next year’s World Am: Aug. 31-Sept. 4, 2026, right here in The Golf Capital of the World®. We look forward to seeing you then!
