    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.

    Service was ok but since it's a buffet, they really didn't do much other than bring drinks. The buffet was well stocked with mediocre quality seafood. Overall it was a decent experience for the price of the meal.

    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.

    Great food and beautiful drinks! Our waitress Skerika was also super sweet throughout the afternoon.

    Wow, bloody wow... Just visited this spectacular place in Myrtle Beach. What a treat & experience. The buffet was incredible. Such a huge variety. The snow crab legs, crawfish and fried shrimp were my favourite but they also have lots more to choose from. We were treated like family from the time we walked in to the time we left. Our server Seth was awesome (apart from being a Real Madrid fan, lol . The service was top notch. 3 Thumbs Up & 5 Stars from the wife and I. Highly recommend.

    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.

    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!

    We stopped at Captain George's Seafood Restaurant and it ended up being a great experience…read more It's about $50 for an all-you-can-eat buffet, which I'm usually hesitant about because I don't always eat enough to make it worth it--but this is a seafood buffet with crab legs (my favorite), so we decided to go for it. And it did not disappoint. The crab legs were the highlight--always stocked, served warm, and cooked really well. I tried a few other items that were just okay, nothing super standout, but for a buffet the quality of the crab legs alone made it worth it. We waited about 20 minutes in line to be seated, which wasn't bad, but just a heads up--there wasn't really anywhere to sit while waiting, so that could be a bit tough for anyone who needs accommodations. The desserts were also pretty good, and the place itself is huge. I loved the design details--everything has a nautical/boat theme, even the buffet stations and tables, which made it feel unique compared to other buffets. Service was great. We just had water, but staff constantly came around refilling drinks, clearing plates, and taking away crab leg shells, which made the whole experience smooth. Overall, we left full and very happy--definitely worth it if you're a crab leg fan!

    Cape Fear Seafood Company is located in a strip shopping center…read more Food was very good, and service was excellent. The restaurant decor was what you'd typically see at a seafood restaurant. I had fried jumbo shrimp which were not listed on the menu as a platter, but our waitress (Grace) was glad make the exception. My husband ordered the fresh catch salmon with mango salsa. Sides were: green beans with roasted tomatoes, sautéed spinach and risotto cakes. Everything was very good and Grace kept our tea glasses full. When I'm in the area I'll definitely stop in some of their delicious food!

    We came to this restaurant for dinner after our fishing trip. This place was recommended by the man…read morewho took us on our fishing tour. It seemed very "busy" for an early Monday evening around 5:20/6pm. It had quite a few customers but also many empty tables inside. We wanted to sit inside but were told they were holding tables for reservations. So our only option was to sit outside or to wait over 20 minutes. We were very hungry so we sat outside. Our waitress came out and greeted us and was very nice and answered all our questions. We had a table on the far right of the patio. Outside was hot and there were little small gnats flying around. We ordered the mussels in a wine sauce for appetizers. And OMG when the food came out the gnats swarmed in on us and it was worse! We could not enjoy the food because we were in a constant battle. We complained to the waitress. And we wound up moving to another table closer to the door (still outside in the opposite side because we still were told there were no tables inside). It was a better but gnats were still there. The food, however, was really good and would have been even better without fighting bugs. The mussels were cooked perfectly and the sauce it was in was delicious! We were almost licking the plate, but so I wouldn't look like a heathen, used the bread to wipe up the plate instead. The roasted red pepper crab bisque was also very good and I like that it had bigger lumps of crab in it. For my main course I had the fresh catch of the day that came with a lemon sauce, mango salsa and risotto. I am not a fan of asparagus so I was allowed to substitute for spinach. The dish was so delicious! I was happy with the taste and quality of the food. A manager just so happened to round on us while we were eating and we told her our complaints about the gnats. She was very understanding and offered us a free dessert or to take some money off the bill. When the waitress came back she asked us what dessert we wanted complimentary. We wondered why the manager gave us both options, but we didn't actually get to choose what we really wanted which was the money off the bill. We were really full and didn't have room for the dessert. Rather than protesting, we just chose a dessert to go, but unfortunately forgot to eat it because we had to pack for our early morning flight. My review would have been 5 stars for the service and food if it wasn't for those pesky bugs outside. I don't know why there was so many out there.

There was also live music the evening we were there which was just lovely. Steven, our server shared the evening specials and was very attentive to us throughout our meal. Our table enjoyed delicious margaritas, the Autumn Power salad - fresh spinach, dried cranberries, fresh apple slices, and a refreshing dressing. The crab legs were delicious, two clumps with butter and lemons. We also had the shrimp and fries- 8 large shrimp lightly breaded with shoestring fries. Our land lover enjoyed the Reel burger- a juicy combination of chuck and brisket cooked to order. The bun was toasted and held up well to the burger. Overall the experience was very enjoyable. While the food was good. It was the excellent atmosphere and service that took the experience over the top for us.
