Prices are way too high for the food quality. We were asked if we had a coupon when we arrived and said we were from out of state and weren't aware of any coupon offers but asked if they would serve us with the coupon price. They just looked at us like we had three eyeballs. Half of the food wasn't even marked so you don't know what you're getting and the price was $200. For 3 people. Service was subpar as well as the food. Don't waste your money! read more

Our waitress was nice but moved a bit slow-later we noticed that might've been due to her working on both sides of the restaurant. The food was TRASH. A bunch of non labeled frozen seafood. Some of the food on the hot bar was cold. Some of the food was old and most of it flavorless. We spent $250 for 4 people. $50 a person and $6 for soda. Very limited options. Had to park by a dumpster (luckily a worker came out and gave me his parking spot). Go to Original Benjamin's instead. read more

great food can't wait to go back, the best was the crab legs and I really liked the mussel

The food was decent. It's as good as it can be for buffet food. The service was good, I wish the floors were more clean, I almost slipped and watched one of the workers fall. But the food was good, still try this place to say you've been. read more

The food was Delish and Seth was outstanding! We come back every time we are in town and are never disappointed! Thanks for wonderful experience. read more

Food,and ambiance -was the worst. Crab was rotten...Most of the seafood - scallops, oysters and shrimp - were not fresh - Just mush. No fried chicken wings, just gooey and rubbery buffalo wings. The only fried chicken pieces available were breast and they eere not good - dry and not seasoned. When asked for marinara sauce they opened up a can of stewed tomatoes and put them in the microwave to warm up. The GM or, the owner, was heard speaking English - but when he came to the table - he appeared not to speak English and acted as if he didnt' understand. The cooks and most of the staff, did not speak English. They advertised a lobster buffet - but when we got there - we were told they discontinued the all you can eat lobster, because it didn't do good. Not a good choice for fine dining. We paid the same $49.99 @ Captain George's and we definitely got more bang for our buck. Do NOT GO HERE IF YOU ARE EXPECTING GOOD FOOD! read more

wow wow wow, you're missing out if you haven't eaten here! loved the service and vibes

Me and my husband enjoyed our dinner! Michael was very helpful about menu, excellent service

Worst place in the area!! Never again!! Food was not fresh, very limited. They like to play games with credit card fee and cash. After readjusting my bill multiple times, with same Outcome. It's a scam!! read more

This was our first time dining at this restaurant! For the price a great location. Restaurant was clean and the food was fresh on the buffet. I was surprised by the variety of foods. The fruit bar was good as well. Fruit was fresh and tasty. I def would dine here again. read more

Great food and great service. We had a number of kids with us, and the server kept them happy which made our dining experience even better. Huge assortment of food that was constantly being refreshed read more

1st, Seth our server was amazing. Unfortunately thar was the only highlight of our visit. The steak was tough and dry. The prime rib was tender but flavorless. The fried shrimp was soggy and tough. All the baked fish was over cooked and salty. For the price it was a zero star at best. The only thing that was passable was the deserts and fruit. Stay away from here. read more

Food was really good and they have ice cream and cotton candy for the kids ask for server 33

Run, run far away. We ate there today during snow apocalypse 2025, unfortunately it was one of the only places open. We tried to be open minded and graceful due to weather and them being open, but it is way over priced for the limited buffet items and quality of food, think of a lower quality seafood version of Golden Corral. Staff speaks very broken english. Waiter/ manager maybe owner who knows, stated he was from Armenia, I have no problem with different cultures. But supposedly this restaurant is under new management, it will not last if it keeps being the way it was today. Nothing seemed to be fresh, almost like it was reheated from days past, we were the first people to arrive at the location today they opened at like 2:30, we arrived at 2:50, but the buffet was not ready until 3:10ish. We were ok waiting if it was gonna be good and fresh. After we got the first plate of food, we instantly regretted staying, and we literally seen the cooks open a bag of Gordon Fish Fillets fry them and put them on the bar, nothing wrong with Gordons but I do not expect it in a seafood restaurant thats $49.99 a person. Crab Legs are some of the worst i have ever eaten they tasted freezer burnt all of the seafood we tasted as a matter of fact tasted freezer burnt, and had absolutely no seasoning very bland, their (tik tok butter) literally choked me because it had too much spice in it and i usually love spicy food, the restaurant heat was not on and they had one space heater that literally would not even heat one booth for the entire restaurant it was so cold in the restaurant that from the bar to your table your food would be cold, and the butter literally solidified in a matter of minutes the food was cold and absolutely disgusting. They brought the bill $101.43 for two people that was with a $7/off coupon per person hence why we went so early had to arrive before 3 to use it. I was not paying that for that quality of food so I went to find a manager, who happened to be our server. They did discount it no questions asked to $25/ per person then still allowed the coupon. I paid that but it was not worth it. Like instant regret as we started trying to eat. Trying to find something to make it worth our money. I ended up eating a deviled crab which was good the only thing good and two mozzarella sticks, and some fruit. Shrimp were mushy, all food but tik tok butter was under seasoned. We will not be back EVER. To let you know how cold it was in there all of the staff was wearing coats/hoodies, including cooks and outside felt warm when we walked out. Next time I would stay hungry before eating there. I would not go back even if it were free. read more

The workers were nice and they delivered the food to our table I would recommend to eat here again. Oh I forgot they take pictures of you and your family read more

Everything was good but the service was exceptional. Tamra H. Was attentive, efficient and friendly. I would definitely go back and ask for her! read more

I am leaving this review because of the bad reviews. The buffet was great. The crab legs and all seafood was great. The prime rib looked great. The sides especially the macaroni and cheese and corn on cob was the best I've had. I've been to a few and this was by far the best. I was very skeptical because of the reviews but it was walking distance so we took a chance and the whole table loved it. Seth our waiter was great as well read more

Food was horrible and the price was outrageous! I don't recommend going to this restaurant unless you want to spend a lot of money! It's a Buffet restaurant and costs way to much! read more

Food was absolutely awful, 47$ a person for bad tasting food, terrible service, and an additional 5$ per drink and NO refills. Food came at different temperatures comparable to a hot pocket. Any desserts practically melted by the time they were in front of us. Then they expect a tip on that awful service after charging 175$. Never go here if you value good service comparable to what you spend. McDonalds offers better quality service than here. Terrible grade for a good reason. read more

We happened to go here on our first night in Myrtle Beach, it was just a few blocks from the Resort and we had been driving all day and hadn't stopped for lunch. We got there around 530 and only a handful of customers, should've paid more attention to this. Food was subpar at best, who knows how long that things were in the serving pans and under the heat lamps, the only things that we're getting refreshed often were the crab legs and the shrimp. Place is overpriced (@ $45 each) for the quality of the dishes. Service was satisfactory and there were lots of selections to choose from, but I'm sure they throw a lot away at closing time. Never again. Sorry to say, Highly not recommended read more

Over priced. My fried shrimp plate was cold. Shrimp under cooked. No breaded correctly, so in short not worth it.

I went with my Family to try the seafood, but the service was even better. Our Server (Noah 99) I think I spelled it correctly. Was very attentive, pleasant and made the great meal even better..Thanks Hooks read more

The food was just not good the crab legs were ice cold the butter was cold as well not a lot of choices at the buffet it just was not worth the price read more

Great selection of food on the buffets. Food was hot and fresh!!! There were several buffets with a different items on each one. Server's were very friendly and attentive. Restaurant was clean and well decorated. read more

This place should be a $$$$ rated category for price. People were nice, food was okay, but the buffet is $125 for two people. By all means the food wasn't bad, but not nearly worth the cost IMO. read more

Everything could be improved, the quality of taste, being the main issue. An update on interior design could bring a brighter atmosphere, but the service experience was absolutely amazing. read more

Great food and great service. Amazing dining experience for the whole family. I highly recommend this establishment for anyone who is looking for good food and a friendly atmosphere. read more

There are better seafood buffets at the beach. Definitely not worth the (almost 52.00) per person. Look elsewhere. The service was good though. read more

The food was delicious!! Very good quality for the price you pay and the service is wonderful! Ask for Barbara #18 as your waitress!! She's the best read more

Everything was good lacking a little seasoning and the flies on the cold bar was a little to much.

I recommend this place if you're looking for a great meal. The food quality was immaculate, the macaroni was good, the fries were seasoned, it was open to all types of eaters not just meat eaters they had fruits and salads for people on diets, they had good steak better than Texas Roadhouse if you're looking for great steak I suggest you check here they cook your steak and don't just make you grab it and they ask you how you want it. Now, for the service it was good I just recommend one thing to the waiters, check the floors because I almost tripped over a wet spot, but I'm sure and I'm hoping that wasn't they're fault and it was a small spill. We had a good quick waiter I really have no negatives. read more

They have a X rating which made members of our group very uncomfortable so we had to go with the majority and find an alternative. Everything looked fabulous and the owner was wonderfully accommodating... that C rating, though.. I hope they can earn a higher grade fast. read more

The waitress/waiter ask you to review the place when you are there, (google) review. So any reviews for that restaurant isn't an honest review due to them standing there while your doing the review and they say if I don't mention the name of the server who took care of my table they won't be on tomorrows shift. The restaurant itself is worth on a high end $34.99 definitely not $51.99 for an adult. Child 15.99 not $27.99 and small child $7.99 and not $17.99. Food is ok at best. Very very pricey for what it is. read more

We've come here every time we vacation in Myrtle Beach. Great food and the servers are always nice. They have everything that you want. Hot food is steaming hot and cold food is nicely chilled. read more

They advertise all you can eat lobster but do not have ANY LOBSTER! The price is horrible for what little they offer. The food was okay but this is NOT the last day at the beach feast everyone expects. The server would have been fine except they begged us to give a high rating on google! I'll never trust reviews without walking in and looking to see first what the buffet looks like for myself! It was quiet because locals obviously don't eat there. We came out hungry and $120 less in our pockets. If this were a country buffet they would be hard pressed to ask $14 a person. Basically fish, chicken, not the best shrimp and decent scallops. read more

Everything that was supposed to be hot was cold and everything that was supposed to be kept cold was lukewarm. Desserts like the cheesecake are left out in the warmth and grow mushy and warm. The only acceptable food the Clam Chowder because it was kept hot. TLDR: Really gross unmanaged food, place is only still in business because it's tourist bait. $50 PER PERSON, NOT WORTH THE MONEY. read more
