Kirk's 1890 Ice Cream Parlor

Kirk's 1890 Ice Cream Parlor is a locally owned, vintage-style ice cream shop based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Despite the “1890” in its name, the parlor dates back to the 1970s and is designed to evoke an old-time soda fountain, complete with Tiffany-style lamps, retro seating, arcade games, and nostalgic décor. The shop offers more than 40 flavors of primarily Blue Bell ice cream along with sherbets and some sugar-free options, served in cups, cones, waffle cones, and elaborate sundaes and banana splits. Guests can also enjoy milkshakes, malts, floats, and novelty treats like chocolate-covered frozen bananas, all in a setting that appeals to both tourists and locals looking for a classic dessert experience.

A charge from “Kirks 1890 Ice Cre Myrtle Beach SC” on a card statement will almost always correspond to an in-person purchase of ice cream or other frozen desserts at one of Kirk’s Myrtle Beach locations. Typical ticket sizes range from small individual orders (a few dollars for a cone or cup) to larger family orders including multiple sundaes, banana splits, or to-go pints. Charges are normally one-time point-of-sale transactions, though you might see multiple charges on the same day if your group split payments or visited more than once. Because it’s a seasonal tourist destination, many cardholders encounter this charge while on vacation and may not immediately recognize the merchant name when reviewing statements later.
