This place is always really good. They have gone up in price since I last went and that wasn't really communicated to us before the bill came. Other than that, this is the place to go for crab legs, and should be a stop for you on your next trip to PCB. read more

The food was SUPER cold. Never put out any new food. It's a buffet-but they serve you cafeteria style. Put the wet food next to the fish. Made everything soggy. The tea was subpar. Sorry we wasted almost 30.00 for lunch and 2 drinks. The best thing was the pineapple ice cream-which you get yourself lol read more

I go here for lunch when Im in town for work. I like the food. This good even though my employer buys. Good service. They remember what I drink even when I haven't been there for months. read more

The food had a weird smell, and the chicken did not taste like chicken, the drinks were watered down beyond anything I've ever had. Made me feel sick after eating. Don't recommend read more

Go to Golden Corral....it's better and cheaper :-) We went to Captain Anderson's and had a 5 start meal and service for less $$$. read more

After reading the Yelp reviews, it appeared that either you love or hate this place. I found it to be a great buffet. The crab legs were very good which is really the only thing I ate. Some have complained about the $49.99 adult price and they may have a point to some extent unless you're only there for the crab legs. That being said, I know I'm on vacation and I was expecting to pay a little more than the going rate so it was fine. The staff were great. We were seated immediately, even though we had a group of 17. We did go right when they opened, so that helped. All in all, I would definitely go there again. read more

We went to Capt Jacks on a Saturday night around 8pm. They close at 9pm (or that is at least their posted closing time). We were seated immediately. Food was fresh and there was plenty of it. Our thing is crab leg buffets...we've been to a few. These were smaller legs than some we had but the taste, freshness, and supply was great. The other seafood was tasty and fresh too. I did not eat any side items...just had boiled shrimp, crab salad and crab legs. We got our money's worth. A group in front of us asked what happens if they are not done by 9pm. The hostess told him 9pm is just the time they stop seating, but would continue to stock the bar until the last person was full. Pretty cool! It was $39.95 per person. Much cheaper than some places. You should go...it is worth it. We went to the Front Beach Rd location. read more

The buffet was amazing! The food was great and there was something for everyone. The all you could eat crab legs were great! Prices were good for what you got and kids under 3 were free which is greatly appreciated for us moms who know the little kids don't eat a whole lot. read more

The staff was very friendly. Our waiter was very efficient on waiting on our table. We didn't even have to ask for napkins or refills. The only thing that could have been better would be a bigger variety of food choices on the buffet. However they did have endless crab legs witch was amazing! read more

There the best on the beach just about. All u can eat selection food was hot server Angie was nice Chris Bishop greeted us well and even ask me n my family how it was everything was on time great place to eat!! read more

Would not recommend. Way overpriced, food was decent, and the guy followed us to our car for a tip and said he "deserved it" but it clearly doesn't. I don't recommend it to anyone. read more

Came here for lunch with the wife and my boy and everything was delicious, no complaints, next time we return we will definitely be returning. read more

Very expensive and not a lot of food it suppose to be buffet but the quality it's not very good

Had high hopes for this dinner... unfortunately it was a very bad choice. Wait staff were awesome and that is the only reason I even gave it a star!! The food was horrible. I do not mind paying 40 bucks for a dinner but the food was old, appeared to have been sitting out for a while, I tried to eat several things and every choice was tough, undercooked, over cooked or simply tasted awful. I had seen the reports in the OTHER Capt. Jacks at a 3 1/2 stars and wound up at the wrong one.. however one would think consistency would be important.. this is the first time I have had a bad report but I am so mad I paid for this dinner I want to stop others before they do the same!! read more

We were looking for crab legs and saw unlimited and got excited.... That got put down real quick, we walk in and grab our plates, and got what we wanted, and started eating, and the crab legs are okay but you have no sauce, all there is, is butter flavored oil, not even real butter.... I'm paying $60 a person for fake food. Then I went to try everyone thing else like Mac and cheese and mashed potato's and chicken and it all tasted microwaved with ZERO flavor. Then I thought okay maybe good dessert? Nope. All of that was bad too. Crap food for a high price. read more

Overpriced and overrated. For $50 a person, I was expecting a casino-style spread. Instead the buffet was extremely limited. The service was also terrible. Never got a refill. The best thing I can say is that I really liked their homemade chunky blue cheese salad dressing. Otherwise you're better off going to a Chinese buffet or Golden Corral. read more

This place was a disappointment. The service was good, but the buffet is like a breakfast bar in a Comfort Inn. As stated prior, they do have crab legs, but they are some of the smallest crab legs you will ever find!! I don't mind paying for a great seafood buffet, but at 39.95/person for the little selection they had is a complete ripoff!! Do not waste your time with this place!!! read more

I ate here on my first night of vacation, wouldn't recommend to anyone. Shrimp was overcooked to the point it was mushy not even firm almost stewed. The crab was overcooked or not fresh and didnt snap it just bent and the meat was shriveled and didnt pull very well. The steak had good flavor but was also overcooked and served in steaming water. The baked cod was super dry. The fried cod and okra was the best prepared item on the buffet. Im from Indiana so I would think florida would have some of the freshest seafood or at least know how to cook it. I paid $190 for 2 adults and 2 children to eat here. Give me a fire and a bucket of saltwater and I can cook better. I would honestly say the only reason this place is still open is because of 1 time customers on vaca, not returning customers because of the good food. read more

I went with my family and friends we were vacationing with and the food was THE WORST!!!! Crab legs were blah! Butter sauce was just melted butter no seasoning. Crab cakes are fried in the shell and tasted NASTY! Mac n cheese was GROSS! Chicken strips were soooo tiny. Very little choices for kids who don't eat seafood. The spaghetti was DISGUSTING!! The steak was BURNT AND SOOOOOOO NASTY!!! My husband tried 1 bite of the steak, gumbo, rice and crab cakes and said it was the NASTIEST food he's ever eaten and he's not picky at all! The key lime pie was warm which is nasty, key lime pie should be cold!!! Golden Corral has better food!! Also WAY WAY overpriced!!!! The place just looked and felt so rundown! I will NEVER be back and will be giving this review everywhere I can!!! If I could give ZERO stars I would!!! read more

The essential 'Tourist Trap' ... Wayyyyy overpriced. Straight from freezer to table on all items I sampled. Many many many better places to spend $50 on dinner read more

Way overpriced and the advertised selection is very misleading. They charged our 14 year old $39.95 and our 9 year old $15.95. No option for price if you do not get crab legs. The food on the buffet was typical buffet food. Our server never spoke after asking what we wanted to drink. Do not waste your money here. Our family of four can get a very nice meal for $145 somewhere else. read more

The experience we have EVERY year (this was our 11th year) is exceptional. We go for crab legs....anything else is extra to us. Yet, the fried foods ( shrimp, oysters, clams, fish, scallops) were all freshly cooked. Even the deviled crab were soft and hot. We thought having to be served from the bar would be a negative experience.....NOT AT ALL. We now prefer that....we never felt like they attempted to control our portion. If anyone complains about the price...then go to your local seafood market or grocery and see if you can buy the amount of crab legs you can eat for $40.00. This is a vacation tradition and will be as long as the quality continues as it has for more than a decade. Servers are friendly and keep drinks filled and plates off the table. Keep up the great service. read more

If you don't eat crab then don't go. Very expensive!! $40. Everything had been sitting out. Fried seafood was dried out and hard. Veggies bland. Cookies were stale. Just skip it and go where you can order crab off the menu. Only good thing was the service. Very friend and attentive. read more

I think I may have rather flushed $50 down the toilet. As we walked im expecting a grand buffet and recieved one fo the worst meals I have personally eaten in my entire life. I think they must have payed people to write good reviews for this shit hole. Pls do yourselves a favor and dont even look in the direction of captain jacks. And if you see captain jack tell him he owes us $100. Pls for the love of god dont eat that horse shit. read more

$50 a person a little high. Shrimp were very good. Crablegs were terrible. I belive they had been cooked and left in water were rubbery and meat fell apart. No seasoning. The last batch was a little better but not much. You pay $50 a person you expect better. Will not go back read more

The wait staff was great hence my two star rating. We decided to try the buffet since it was in walking distance from our hotel. The buffet was similar to that of a tiny country buffet and for what I paid I should have had an amazing selection of food (39.99 per person was ridiculous). I wish I had have read the reviews prior to going and avoid such a disappointment and saved a ton of money! read more

Mediocre at best. Way over priced for the quality. Our crab was over cooked. It did not slide out of the shell. We had to dig it out. The Old Bay Shrimp was way over cooked. The cold boiled shrimp, crab salad and coconut shrimp was good. The rest of the items were run of the mill buffet. Maybe our expectations were too high since seafood is part of our lives being from Louisiana. We really thought at $50 a person it would be exceptional. $200 for 3 people after tip is a bit excessive. Their big kid prices don't apply to 13 year olds. They are considered adults. Skip it and go get some good food for that price. read more

I have to admit, I'm not a buffet person. I went to this restaurant with family/friends and it was worse than expected. No soap in the men's room (pretty important at a buffet) I notified the host and she said she would let her manager know. She did not. I notified the manager myself and she explained that there was hand sanitizer. (The hand sanitizer next to the buffet was also out). I had one plate of food that I could not finish because it was so terrible. I'm shocked at the amount of business this place had with such horrible food and service. read more

Food was terrible. $45 wasted! Service was okay. However, the food was not good at all. It was truly a bad experience! On top of crappy food the restaurant was not clean! We were very disappointed! read more

This buffet was the smallest buffet I've ever ate at. The food was not good at all. Crab legs very plain. This was not worth $45 a person. Very bad experience all the way around. read more

I would leave less than 1 star. It is too expensive for mediocre food or maybe less. I got a plate of food, maybe less, and I can't believe they charged me $45 dollars. The service was nice, but the food could be made in an air fryer and taste better. read more

The crab legs are delicious...but that's it. Because of restrictions, we were served, which is understandable. For that reason the buffet felt rushed, line was long.. I got crab salad, corn, boiled shrimp and coconut shrimp..the C shrimp was good. If you love crab, definitely go! I gave two stars as place could be cleaner and food was mediocre. Corn was overcooked and husband steak was chewy. read more

I've left a plethora of reviews on this website and this is the first time I've never left a review. It doesn't deserve one. We walked into this place as happy as could be and couldn't have walked out with more fury. They charged us an absurd amount of dollars for food that I could've made in my own kitchen. This isn't a ripoff. This is highway robbery. If you ever even think about coming here then you are already making the wrong decision. Run and hide before this place gives u diarrhea and an emtpy wallet. read more

The service was pushy . My crab legs had something on them so I asked our waiter if it was like a seasoning or something, he grabbed it with his bare hands and started wiping it off saying "just natural phenomenon" they ARE NOTTTTT social distancing. Like at all the restaurant was packed to the brim almost . The food was not worth $40 per adult . At all . Honestly l will not be coming back read more

This is a buffet, so my expectations of the food were not terribly high. There's not a lot of selection, but what is available was actually quite good. Crab legs were kept full, and they don't have someone there policing how many you can get at one time. Our server Caleb was excellent. My glass was never empty and he frequently cleared the table. Definitely worth the price considering the amount of food my men consumed. read more

Zero stars. Avoid avoid avoid. $40pp for bland food. The crab is tiny and many times didn't have meat inside. Go elsewhere. Not sure how this place is still in business. read more

Not a great experience. The waitor and the hostess was nice but the price after one dinner buffet for one person is 50 dollars. The most I have ever spent on dinner and I wish I could say the dinner was decent but didnt enjoy anything there. Their "buffet" is very limited and nothing is cooked well. Food tasted bland and generic and honestly think I would have been happier at mcdonalds. Eat at your own risk. read more

We went around 4:00, dinner starts at 3:30. We went for crab legs. Our table was dirty from lunch time. Salad was good, we got a little bit of everything. It seemed like the food was left over seeing as we get there not long after they opened and tasted old under heat lamps. It was ok for a buffet. Crab legs seemed on the cold side but were good. Our server was good kept our plates cleared from the table and drinks full. read more

Went there with a group of 15, the service was great but for the price the food was a real disappointment. I have had better food at shoneys buffet. I was looking forward to the crab legs but was let down. They were tough and had been sitting in water so long they had no taste, and were so small it took way too much time to just get one or two bites. Will not go back next time I get to PCB. Not worth $40,,,had better food at Whataburger. read more

I came on the 2nd day of reopening and I was greatly disappointed, the food is bland, generic and I would have been better off had I gone to Golden Corral instead. Our waiter was great and attentive, I feel bad that they work at this establishment. read more
