    I come here every time I'm in the area. The crabs can be salty but if you eat it with other items/veggies it helps. The mussels and shrimp are good. Overall worth the price if you like seafood.

    Another Seafood buffet spot because my Auntie wanted to come here for her birthday. The place is huge. The buffet tables are in the back and we sat in one of the areas near the front that had a huge round stained glass ceiling in the center. That was beautiful. Once the drink orders were placed, we went to the buffet. Nice options such as the squash and zucchini, steamed clams, pasta salad, Oysters Rockefeller, Pork ribs, and Steak. I tried to eat as much as I could but 1.5 plates in I was done. Also I had to save room for birthday cake. Tip: Beware of when they bring out the crab legs. People descend on those trays fast. I will give them props for seating our large group approximately 1.5 hours before the place was closing. The servers were organized and handled all of our drink orders with ease and the patience of saints. We even offered them a piece of birthday cake. One staffer was an event photographer who went around taking pictures of everyone and offered them for $15 a piece. As much as I don't usually like this, I appreciated it as I didn't take that many photos of the night and she really took good high-quality pics. I bought one of me and my cousin and one of our entire table as I wanted to remember this moment as we all don't get to see each other that much. Thanks for the food and the memories!

    We went to Captain George's a couple of Saturday's ago. We were a part of 4. There was a long line but as tables cleared a hostess would come out so people didn't have to wait unnecessarily. They were very efficient at clearing the line. Our wait was minimal. Once inside it was very clean with beautiful stained glass. The food was delicious. items were replenished on the food bar continuously. It was a great experience. When I visit Virginia Beach again I will be back to Captain George's Seafood.

    This was a very pleasant experience. The service was extremely phenomenal... Upon walking in the very kind manager Tiffany greeted us with a warm welcome along with the hostess and even offered a wheel chair for our elder. As we were a larger group from church, their patience and kindness with our elderly and disabled was super accommodating and appreciated. Several times our waitress Cindy took plates to our table after seeing us disabled walking from the food bar. We also had two other extremely attentive servers on our party Miranda and Brandon who were super helpful and pleasant. They served with a smile and with care. The food buffet was kept very clean and stacked. And everything was hot and fresh. Overall great experience. And way more food than one could handle for $50/pp . They also have a menu if you don't want the buffet. Well worth the money. Thank you staff! Mr. George! You have some great staff please give them their kudos!

    Captain George is one of our favorite restaurants in the Virginia Beach area. We make sure to stop by every time we're in town. The restaurant has always been nicely decorated, but the recent renovation made it look even better. Service is consistently top-notch, and the buffet items are always refilled and refreshed. I'm genuinely impressed by how clean the restaurant stays, especially with the number of people they serve. There's a huge variety of dishes tons of sides, steamed and fried seafood, chicken, ribs, and plenty of desserts. Ample parking and clean restrooms just add to the reasons why we love this place.

    Went here on a Friday around 7 pm. I always wanted to try this buffet out and finally got the chance recently. Didn't have to wait to be seated; surprisingly, because the place was packed and busy. Pretty big inside and our waitress was nice. They had a cocktail menu on the table and I decided to try the Long Island (8/10) it was pretty good. As for the buffet food, I'm going to give it a 5/10 overall. I was definitely left pretty disappointed with what I had to eat. I was expecting a bit more variety and options. Now they do have a decent little selection from seafood to non-seafood, but it was still pretty lackluster. My plate of non-seafood included sausage, beef, biscuits, string beans, mashed potato's...all lacking seasoning and just wasn't all that. I had multiple plates of seafood, first I tried their fried shrimp, fish tacos, clams, mussels, and crawfish...really nothing spectacular. I also had their crab legs which I had to wait a decent time in line for. Every time they brought out a new fresh pan was about every 3 to 5 minutes and each time the people in line put the whole pan on their plate lol. Well once I did finally get some, they were cold when I got back to my table and there was no seasoning on them! The butter sauce for them was plain butter, I had to ask about a cup of seasoning for everything (2/10). Now that I've gotten to experience eating here, I really don't see myself coming back unless someone I know or family just really wanted to eat here for some reason. I wasn't shown anything or tasted anything that makes me want to return, unfortunately. My overall rate of experience : 5/10

    It's January and they have the winter buffet special for $45 instead of $50. Our favorites were the snow crab legs, fried oysters, crayfish, and sirloin steaks. It's nice inside with their nautical theme, but the Captain George's in Myrtle Beach looked much grander inside.

    Mark H.

    The buffet was awesome. The kids really enjoyed the selection. The servers were bouncing around and checking on the table even though it was busy. We arrived right as they opened and were seated right away. We will definitely make this restaurant a reoccurring stop when in the area.

    AYCE Crab Legs
    Kassie C.

    If you are looking for delicious hot & fresh snow crab legs I highly recommend visiting Captain George's Seafood. Their AYCE seafood buffet including the snow crab legs makes it well worth the $49.99. They also have several other options some of my favorites being the steamed shrimp, fried shrimp, oysters Rockefeller, sea leg salad and several different dessert options. I sat at the bar and received excellent service. The buffet is kept very clean and well stocked even later in the evening. Normally I tend to steer away from buffets but Captain George's didn't disappoint.

    Crab legs galore

    Pretty amazing buffet. Lots of choices and all of them good. Friendly people Great ambience for being so busy. Recommended.

    I didn't have time to take pics because my eyes got big as soon as we all (12ppl) in lol. Oh my goodness. The cleanliness of each station, the options to choose from and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Now, let's talk about the four plates I ate of snow crab legs and the buttered shrimp. Let's not lol. Don't judge me lol Ooooooooooh so good

    I have gluten allergy. We visited many years ago and I know options have changed. Can you share what kind of GF options besides salad are available?

    What does the buffet setup look like during COVID? Is there even a buffet option still available?

    Do they have a lot of non seafood options?

    Yes, there were plenty of choices other than seafood.

    Do they have blue crab during season or calamari?

    I can't tell you about blue crab but I have been there every summer for the past few years and have never seen calamari.

    Do they have fish tacos on the buffet? Asking for a pregnant daughter. 😉

    No they don't

    How much is their buffet?

    I think it was like $36.99/per adult, and like $16.99 or so for children. If you do not wish to do buffet, you can also order a la carte.

    How accommodating for single person diners? Is there a bar because I don't want to take up an entire table.

    There is a bar area and they do have 2 person tables so that you wouldn't be taking up a large table alone. I hope this helps.

    Do they do reservations for large groups and is there a specific time?

    Reservations accepted

    When is the best time to dine on a Saturday? When it opens, or later in the evening?

    When it opens. The line can be very long, especially when the tourists are here. Try to get there by 6.

The staff and even some fellow customers were very accommodating to my friends to help them get seated. Other customers were excited to let my friends know that it is worth the trip. The trip was two+ hours one way. My fried oysters, cheese chive potatoes, asparagus, and crab cake were superb. The cheese samplers were on point. My one friend could not have the nuts and my other friend had some different food allergy that I don't remember- so I had to eat all three samplers because fingers crossed I have no food allergies and I like to minimize food waste as part of being more sustainable and my own culture. I seem to have missed a picture of the Jellyfish Sting drink I had. It was flavorful enough and I liked the rose syrup in particular. The blueberry lemonade cocktail was sweet like I like my drinks. The key lime has a cashew crust that sounds like it compliments the key line well and I had it the last time and loved it. I am not sure if they always use cashew crust. My guess would be yes. Unfortunately one of my friends is allergic to nuts and he could not have it. I believe all the food is made from scratch and it certainly tastes that way. I think the quality prepared seafood and the making from scratch contribute to the limited opening hours of this restaurant. If you are in the area, a must visit if you like seafood. 5/25/26: I forgot to add that I was impressed that they added a mocktail menu and vegan chicken as an option.

They had a great seating area for patrons who were waiting for a table. The service was impeccable. Our waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Since it was our first time at this restaurant we were unsure about what we should order. She gave great suggestions. We ordered the fried oysters, oyster burger, and shrimp with vegetables and eggs. We also ordered a pineapple crush and the localizer. The food was very flavorful and fresh. The oyster burger was very unique it had a fried oyster on top of the patty which was great. It was cooked to perfection and very juicy. The fried oysters were great as well. They came with Pita bread and spinach dip to make an oyster sandwich. Amazing!!! The drinks were on point as well. They weren't too strong but they weren't weak either. I recommend trying out this restaurant if you are in the area. It is totally worth the wait.
