Went to hooks for dinner and we had the pleasure of having clover as our server. She did an amazing job given it was her first day. She was attentive and refilled our drinks and even handed me gloves when I forgot about them. Amazing service amazing server. read more

I ate here with one other person and we got the seafood boil from the menu (not the buffet). It was HUGE. We shared and still ended up having leftovers so it's definitely enough for 3. It was pretty good, I just wish there were more sauce options like cajun, lemon pepper, etc. There was really just cocktail sauce, oyster sauce, and ketchup. It was fairly warm in the restaurant so it made it a bit uncomfortable but not unbearable. Our server, Clover, was absolutely amazing! She was very friendly, quick, and checked on us. It is on the expensive side if you're going to eat from the buffet so definitely come expecting to pay the price of endless seafood. From what I saw, there was a nice selection. The only complaints I have is stuff in our drinks and undercooked shrimp. We had something floating in our water (a few particles, couldn't tell what they were) when we first got there, which a little off putting. However, Clover had no issues swapping it out and ensuring the next one didn't have anything in it. There were some pieces of shrimp in the boil that were way overcooked to the point they were mushy. I would say it's worth a try. read more

Hooks Calabash Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

The atmosphere was nice, peaceful, and relaxing from the moment we walked in. Our server, Dima, was super friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. The food was delicious and well-seasoned, especially the crab legs, shrimp, mussels, asparagus, buffalo wings, and catfish. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The drinks were also amazing! I had the strawberry daiquiri and piña colada, and both were perfectly made and very refreshing. Definitely a spot I would visit again! read more

Hooks Calabash Seafood - Crab legs, potatoes, mussels, corn popcorn shrimp, fries - Seafood Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

I haven't been back to Myrtle Beach since I was in elementary school and this is the first restaurant we went to after check in... quite disappointed since I read a lot of reviews. We went there for lunch and didn't wait long after arriving. Slow service, took over ten minutes before our server arrived. Domestic beer is at least $7 a bottle... The bathroom was slippery, dirty and no soap. The food there was a hit or miss. Some really good, some really bad. I liked the grilled shrimp, their crawfish... very small and not fresh. The server was on the rude side, too. read more

Hooks Calabash Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

If I could rate lower than a 1 I would. We all know seafood buffet at the beach is expensive but for $54 (not to mention tea and soda that is $6) I'd expect the food to be good. It was awful with no seasoning and not a lot of food on the buffet (granted, it was lunch not dinner but still!!! ) They did NOT even have hush puppies.... Who has ever heard of seafood without hush puppies?! They did have biscuits but they tasted like straight salt and were not edible. I do not understand the good reviews, they must be friends with them or something LOL Please save your money and do not waste it at Hooks! read more

This place was NOT good at all. I usually hit up another calabash but I listened to tiktok and I am beyond disappointed. The food was gross even the butter was burned. Nothing appealed me on the menu at all. It's pure ghetto! Someone was arguing and the cops got called. My waiter forgot I was there in the mist of everything. He asked what could he do and I said give me my food half off and they couldn't! He offered me $5! What a joke. They don't take tap so keep that in mind. I am pointing this out because a young lady came and asked me to pay for her food and she would reimburse me. It was NOT worth it imo. The fried shrimp was okay, but that was it. The crawfish had the worst taste and butter was burned. All of the sauces for the crabs legs were nasty. I truly can't believe people think this place is good! 0 stars for me! For $83 I wouldn't return! The drink I ordered was $20. I sat for 10 minutes before being offered a drink. When I did order the waiter forgot I was there. This place is way toooo overhyped on tiktok! The crawfish had this awful taste. I had to spit it out. Do not pass go and hit up Captain George's instead! That is my usual go to spot! I don't recall the ambiance as it was just way too much disruption for me to even care. read more

Hooks Calabash Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

My wife wanted to try these all-you-can eat seafood buffet, as there were many in the area. It's a bit messy eating with shell fish, crack the the legs or claws. They give you a bucket for trash. Lots of fried seafood, and ribs and chicken and beef. I found the ribs, fried fish and baked salmon dry, overcooked, not all the buffet tray were filled full, more like 1/4 filled so it looked sparse. I didn't think it was worth the price at $49 pp, but perhaps the going price. There was a 3.x% surcharge if you pay by credit card, $4 bucks off if you pay cash. read more

Much better seafood buffet style restaurants in the Myrtle Beach area - both North and South - in the price range of this location. Food meets the basic requirements of a seafood buffet, but items I would normally expect to see - stuffed crab, crab cakes (labeled but there weren't any) stuffed flounder) were mia. The server was adequate. The ambiance was - and this isn't intended to be offensive - totally ghetto. It's hard to enjoy any meal when the fellow patrons are clown bagging around "actin' a fool". I know it's a tourist-centric place, but when I spend approx. $150 usd after tip, I expect a better experience. Even for an overpriced beach seafood buffet. Experience-to-price ratio is one star. And don't get me started on the men's room/facilities. Ugh. My two cents, take it or leave it. read more

This was a total waste of time and money. Management was rude and the food was cold and horrible. We can from Greenville Sc to eat here on our family vacation and I was NEVER EVER GO TO THIS PLACE AGAIN. I WILL BE GOING BACK TO THE GIANT CRAB. Hooks you will never get my money again. People total waste of time. read more

Wow, bloody wow... Just visited this spectacular place in Myrtle Beach. What a treat & experience. The buffet was incredible. Such a huge variety.

Now if you are looking for a show and a fun time with tasty food this is it. We went and tried so many of their drinks and of course the buffet. My fave was the seafood boil! You could have feed 6 ppl with that alone! Plus the shrimp in the boil were big. I will say be prepared though it is on the pricey side of things. read more

I Had an amazing experience! The seafood was fresh, flavorful, and constantly restocked. The crab legs, shrimp, oysters, and scallops were definitely my favorites. There were so many options on the buffet that everyone in our group found something they loved. The staff was super friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was fun and welcoming. Everything looked clean and well organized, and the desserts were a perfect way to end the meal. Definitely worth stopping by if you're visiting Myrtle Beach and craving seafood! PD: I LOVED THEIR PIÑA COLADA. Definitely my favorite! read more

So three stars for $50.00 all you can eat crab. Everything else blah! Clean and inviting when you walk in and the waitresses are on it with drinks and clean up. Like I said food was meh, but unlimited crab for $50.... That is worth it! read more

We stopped by here on the first night of our weekend trip. We were seated and told it was $51.99 per person, asked our drinks, etc. What we weren't told was that doesn't cover drinks. Sweet tea was $3 and was constantly refilled (prompt!) however, would've been nice to know that it wasn't included and added 3 refills onto our tab while we would get up since we hadn't requested any fills etc. The food was mediocre, bland, and not a very good selection of seafood for a seafood buffet. Fried fish wet not cooked all the way, no crab, cool whip topped cake that tasted like it was made in a porta potty, and what they had for seafood had been shoved in a corner basically. The manager came by and said he was taking photos and was going to print them out for us, we had paid and waited an additional 15-20 minutes and decided to just leave. While our waitress was great and speedy, our bill came to $130 after tip, but you have a better buffet selection and atmosphere at a Golden Corral than this place. read more

Worst experience ever- have been going to this place for years since my kids were little. We loved this place. This year- no AC , it was hot inside. Food did not taste good, even asked if there was an owner change and they said no just renovation. Not many choices with shrimp or oysters. Crab legs did not look good. Service - friendly however not very good customer service. On top of all this my niece almost passed out feeling nauseated almost got sick. My sister and I had very bad stomach issues when we left. Did not enjoyed the place at all and very disappointed with changes that were made, will definitely not go back there again. We will have to begin another tradition in a different place. read more

We really wanted to like this place but just couldn't. The buffet food was cold and definitely needed to be refreshed. The food was labeled incorrectly and some not at all. Our server Thomas was amazing and tried to bring us fresh food but could only do so much as we had a table of 7. Maybe they were having a bad evening? At $49.99 per person we expected at least hot food. The decor was a fun coastal theme and inviting. read more

I am Walking Across America for Mental Health Awareness & Recovery (Kyndal Ray Edwards on YT, FB, IG, & TT)! I am currently in Myrtle Beach, waiting on a new cart, the one I push broke the other day. I was reached out on TikTok from people that run the National House of Pancakes, Who messaged me in told me that Hooks Calabash Seafood Buffet, Wanted to take care of me the same way! Oh my gosh, it was incredible. Rodney, who actually works at both places, was there when I went in. They hooked me up with some nonalcoholic drinks for me personally for that meal, it was already a seafood buffet, but they brought me a couple complementary plates, one with a giant steak and the other one was a huge country broil! Absolutely amazing. The staff was absolutely incredible so much love and support. And by supporting my journey, they are supporting mental health awareness, and recovery and that means the absolute world! Thank y'all so much for the love and support. God bless, y'all matter! read more

I love this place, plates were clean, friendliest staff possible! Everyone wanted to make sure I was happy and comfortable it was very cold inside, they were doing some repairs. Biggest shrimp I've ever seen. Wide selection of fish. I was very happy. I compared prices with other buffets, this was the cheapest and on top of it I Used a coupon for $7 off. I would go again, no need to check out the other buffets. They have comfortable seating available as well! Server 18 was the best!! Barbara read more

We tried this place thinking we would be getting something that would suit a wide variety of people. Red Lobster would've been better in terms of quality of food, value, and ambiance. There are 2 menus, the all you can eat buffet for about $50 and a regular menu with about 8-9 things where the price might be about $24. The regular menu served, for instance, salmon with an option of mashed potatoes, fries, or vegetable, but not 2 (so salmon with potatoes). It was like all of the regular menu items were lacking for choice. The buffet *looked* OK when you walked by, but once you went to go fill your plate, you realized the crab was cheap, the fish was greasy or covered in cream sauce, the salad bar was iceberg lettuce and basic vegetables, and there were flies. The one thing that kind of looked good was the prime rib, which I did not eat because I don't like beef cooked rare. Also, our party was seated at 2 booths despite there being large tables available on the other end of the restaurant where we could all sit together. Apparently one of the front desk hosts mentioned it but some other server didn't care and just sat us wherever. They asked us if we had seniors and we had 4, but that wasn't reflected on the bill at all. Unfortunately, this restaurant has very good Google reviews but I see the truth is here on Yelp. Oh, they also initially gave us plastic forks and knives (at a sit down restaurant). I strongly do not recommend this place. Save your money. read more

Please please ask what all your buffet includes. Soda is not included. It's $6 per fountain drink. They insulted my intelligence telling me if I had a doubt in the price. Which I didn't but they misled me to believe the price included a beverage. read more

Worst dining experience in my life of 72 years. Went there primarily for crab legs and other seafood selections. Crab legs not even warm, complained to waitstaff which told supervisor but he would not listen and did nothing. Table next us did the same with no results. Asked to see him before leaving and just got a spin for an answer Was also threatened to call police if we didn't leave. Waitstaff was very good and apologized many times. All hot food was in warmers for the 90 minutes we were there with no rotation. Two couples in the whole place the entire time at 6:00 PM. I would fire that supervisor immediately for his lack of attention to custOmer service. Do not go here read more

We had an excellent experience at Hooks Calabash Seafood. The cocktails were fantastic, the seafood was extremely fresh, and the presentation was very impressive.

Most of the food was so salty, it was almost imposible to eat it. At the end they surpised us with a 3.98% service charge. The manager just told us that was built in in their system and could'nt explain why. They also told us that service charge was not the gratuity just to make sure we still tip the server. read more
