    Seafood Buffet
    Skyler G.

    We had an awesome dinner here! Crab legs were giant and delicious, the crawfish was great, and the shrimp were huge. Additionally, our server was very kind and attentive. Everything was very clean and staff refilled everything very quickly. It seems like a great place for family's as each table has a little television playing kid shows. We enjoyed everything. My only complaint is the napkin situation. The owner placed a limit on the amount of napkins each table can get which is so frustrating considering eating crab legs (and honestly any seafood) is very messy. I definitely think they should reevaluate that rule! Other than that - definitely recommend.

    Solid seafood buffet option for unlimited crab legs. We were surprised to get seated right away on a weekend night. We got seated close to the buffet, which was great. It was frat formal season, but those groups had their own space in a back room. Service was friendly in spite of some of the customers being (likely) difficult for the servers to work with. True mixed bag in terms of clientele and Karen/Karino(male Karen) vibes. But, the servers were working hard and a dirty plate never sat for longer than a minute. The buffet was stocked with a steady stream of steamed crab legs. The crab legs were warm and fully cooked, perhaps slightly overcooked. I also got the clams and mussels that were in that serving area. They tasted fresh and were good. One of the highlights (in addition to ) was the stuffed mushrooms. The stuffed clams were also fantastic. On my would avoid list is the clam chowder (used canned potatoes, it seems), and the Mac and cheese (bright orange and boring). Grab a cheddar bay biscuit instead if you're going to take a carb break. Overall, I felt good about this spot for the price!

    On a busy night, me and my family were offered the option to be immediately sat at the bar where there was full service. We took that offer and the bartender was very attentive with any refills on drinks and making sure our buckets with shells were emptied as soon as they were close to being full. As for the food, there was constantly fresh steamed crab legs being put out. Although there were lines that formed by the crab legs, it moved quickly. I also tried a few other seafood options such as the crawfish and the cajun crab legs, but they were a bit overcooked. The highlight was definitely the perfectly cooked crab legs. The staff were also around to make sure the area where the food was kept, was consistently clean and swapped out any items that were running low to restock. There was a large variety of dessert options as well ranging from cookies to cakes to pudding and much more. With the amount of people at the restaurant and all that was happening, it surprisingly did not feel chaotic or overwhelming. I would recommend coming to this place during your vacation if you enjoy crab legs!

    If you love crab legs, this is the place. If you love seafood, this is the place. What really makes this place great is that there is a buffet option, and oh what buffet they have. They have such a huge selection of food. They do have options other than seafood, so if there is someone in your party that doesn't eat seafood, there are some options for them. Oh, and there is even a salad bar! Let's get back to the crab legs though. So many buffets with crab legs are either out of crab legs or the legs are overcooked. Not here. I'm not sure how they do it, but they are always fresh and hot without being overcooked. Keep in mind that they also have a large desert bar as well. The price is high, but if you really love crab legs, you will get your money's worth. Also the waiter that took care of us was always very quick to take away the plates and ensure our drinks were refilled. Excellent!

    The price has gotten crazy out of a control, especially for kids. It's $50 per person in 2024 and as others have mentioned, they ask for a 20-25% tip on the receipt. It's a bit much since the servers only bring you your drinks and if you're lucky they take away the empty plates. But at that price point, a family of four paying $200 and then another $50 for a tip??? Nah, I don't think so. I no longer bring my kids here because of the price. I brought my 13 year old daughter and she literally ate a plate of rice and green beans and it was $50. I begged my server for the 12 and under price but she wouldn't budge. I felt this was a bit unreasonable since the price is for the seafood and she didn't eat any but I guess it's my fault for bringing her...lesson learned. Still, it's one of my favorite buffets and I almost always stop if it's just me. The one in Myrtle is till 100 times better than this location but I find myself in OBX more often. The restaurant is pretty clean with the exception of the bathrooms. Y'all pigs go in here and dine like it's a trough and then destroy the bathroom. Not everyone wants to waller in filth! The mens room needs a heavy duty exhaust fan because y'all nasty AF and the stink coming out of that restroom would make a maggot gag.

    First Trip to the seafood bar.

    Expensive, but you get what you pay for. $50 for buffet, age 13 and up. Very big selection of seafood. One bar of steamed and fresher seafood and a second bar of breaded and fried seafood. A salad bar that looks good, but almost everyone ignores. Hidden gem on this bar is the hush puppies. There is a nice traditional bar of non-seafood too. I loved the baked macaroni and cheese from this bar. Finally the dessert bar is packed with everything your sweet tooth desires. I recommend the Baklava and Key Lime Cake. Every person in our party of 8 enjoyed every single thing that they got from all their trips of the buffet. The servers are extremely friendly and hard working. I think they work three times harder than you regular resteraunt's servers. Please be sure to tip these hard workers. This location opens at 3:00 pm, by 4:00 pm on a weekday in the summer you are waiting for a seat. Especially if you have a big party. I highly recommend getting there before 4:00 pm, especially on summer weekends.

    Not my first time at a Captain George's, but was my first time at this location in Kill Devil. To my surprise we didn't have to wait for a table for our party of 6. I've gone to other location (just my gf and I) and waited 1.5hrs. We all got the buffet and ate our little hearts out. The seafood and especially the crab legs were delicious. The Cajun butter sauce was soooo good. Our waiter was great, always made sure our table was clear of debris and our water cups stayed full. Very please with this visit to Captain Heorges and high recommend stopping in!

I had the blackened mahi-mahi BLT sandwich which was perfectly cooked and served with over a pound of french fries. Not going to lie; the fries were fantastic. Nicely seasoned and not greasy. I ended up eating the mahi open-faced to avoid spilling on myself but the fish, tomato slice and lettuce were all delicious. It also came with a crisp pickle spear. My wife got the ceasar salad and added a skewer of blackened shrimp. The shrimp were tasty but could have stood a little more spice. They have a nice wine selection including a good selection available by the glass. Also a nice beer selection with some local/NC beers on tap. I observed all of the staff being very friendly and helpful to patrons throughout the restaurant. I will definitely be back and looking forward to trying it for dinner.

I guess the Rockfish tacos were a daily special, so I ordered the "World Famous" Mahi tacos while Ms T ordered a crabcake sandwich. I think we were both a little disappointed. Her sandwich was definitely for bun lovers. She tore off enough bread for another sandwich and still had plenty. Restaurants are often guilty of conflating a huge bun with good sandwich. She was not particularly impressed with the crab cake, saying it was overloaded with thyme. I ordered my Mahi "blackened" and it really was not. The seasonings were good although also heavy with thyme. The flour tortillas were of poor quality, very thin and leathery and not provided hot. Hence the tacos were room temperature when eaten. I liked the finely shredded cheese that was not served refrigerator cold. The white sauce they serve is just wrong for these tacos. It is too sweet, too tart, making it harsh. Instead, I used the sauce that came with her crab cake and that was much better. Finally the mahi was very dry. I guess that is kind of the way that mahi is, but this really needed plenty of sauce. Kudos to them for serving good jasmine rice. This was not as good as we remembered. It is OK, not great and could be improved with just a few changes. We should have tried the burgers.
