This buffet was phenomenal--very clean with excellent service. The pirate on site was incredibly friendly and welcoming to every table, and he was especially playful and engaging with all the kids. There were also mermaids swimming in the water, which made the experience even more memorable. The food was exceptional; the oysters, fried oysters, and crab legs were absolutely outstanding. We're from out of town and would definitely recommend this place. read more

Crab legs overcooked, stringy and flavorless. This used to be our fave buffet when in the area--tried it twice and just not what it used to be. Service was good food was definitely not worth the price.' read more

Vacation means a stop at pirates table. No mermaids just yet. Still too cold per our restaurant host/ pirate. Everyone enjoyed the full Buffett soup and deserts. The buffet is located in a giant pirate ship in the middle of the restaurant. Service was great. Next trip this stop is on the permanent rotation. The cannon and the pirate music added to the experience. read more

I can NOT express how bad the food was here. Nothing was hot, everything was cooked far beyond being done. It was done 15-30 minutes before being taken out of oven, off grill or whatever method it was cooked. Maybe this was yesterday's food re-heated? If you have kids and like a Pirate yelling "Arrrrrrrrrrrr" the whole time while waiting on the mermaids to come out and swim, this place might be for you. But if you are here to eat, do yourself a favor and keep driving. Wasted $130 on two people. read more

There are a lot of seafood buffets in Myrtle Beach but Pirate's Table is one of the best. Hot fresh snow crab legs highlight the bar but there are so many other choices that's it's hard not to overeat. The place is clean and the service is always on point. They keep the table cleared of shells and keep the drinks filled The crawfish were fresh and easy to peel. The shrimp were huge. Crab legs were very good size so there's little waste. They have a nice salad bar and dessert bar as well. Not cheap but you're not going to find seafood that's both cheap and fresh on The Strand. read more

I mean if you are looking for an all you can eat seafood buffet then this is the place for you to go. We were in town for Spring Break, a plane flew over the beach with the AYCE crab legs, the teens figured out what it meant and immediately wanted nothing but crab legs. It's a cute place with live mermaids when you walk in, sea shanties on the loudspeakers and pirate themed waitstaff. They are super friendly and don't make you feel rushed. Beware, there is a picture up sale during your experience but they aren't pushy. Not sure I would go back but it was worth at least one visit. read more

Yelp showed open but they were closed Thursday night at 6 p.m. Need more info.. Went somewhere else close by.

Let's start by saying that I did not expect a quality seafood buffet in such a touristy town. Since they are on every corner in Myrtle Beach, I did my research to attempt to find the best one. We only visited the Pirates Table so can't exactly say, but I think we nailed it! The snow crab was awesome and every time I went back, they had it completely refilled. Half shell oysters, perfect. Just a huge variety and everything we tried was delicious. I'd go back to Myrtle Beach just to have this dinner again! read more

Food was awful. I ended up eating salad and mash potatoes. Biggest waste of money. Prime Rib was indescribable. read more

Pirate's Table Calabash Seafood Buffet - Seafood Near Me - Surfside Beach, South Carolina

We arrived right at opening. The service was amazing. Our waitress was on top of refills and clearing the table of used plates. The bathrooms and bar were clean. The food was just about as good as every other seafood buffet at the price point. I didn't notice much of a difference compared to others I have been to. Nothing was amazing but I don't really expect that at a buffet. I enjoyed the crab legs and the rest of my party said they were good as well. They did not enjoy the rest of the buffet food as much. I liked the ambiance overall. The mermaid tank was an interesting touch and the roaming pirate was fun, if a bit over the top. I didn't love having to think about tipping everyone. It is definitely tourist-trappy but worth trying it for something new. read more

Some of the seafood was a little over cooked but that is expected at a buffet. The crab and shrimp were good, the scallops a little rubbery. The prime rib and sausage add something for the non seafood lovers making this a great choice. Great service and a nice atmosphere top it off read more

Great food and great service. Huge restaurant nice "pirate" environment! Kids love it too.

The crab legs were very good. The other choices were pretty good. Would like to have seen more noodle salads and different side choices. The desert was not worth the calories. The atmosphere was fun. There were live mermaids and a funny joke telling pirate that kept it fun. Also the buffet was an actual long ship. Service was good and affordable for all the food we ate. Good job guys. We will be back. read more

This place never disappoints with their service, food, and ambiance. The one thing I do wish is if they could change up some of the buffet items every so often, but obviously keep the crab legs ! The servers are on top of their game and bring you drinks when you need a refill, and change the baskets out frequently. The mermaids and pirates are a nice touch too, which is great for kiddos! read more

Lots of variety for seafood lovers and for the folks that don't eat seafood. Service was great and the place was decorated nice. read more

Not worth the 49.99 per person. Bad selection of food. Try Crabby Mikes for better selection

We had great service, wish I could remember her name. Didn't wait at all to be sat, so the no wait time was awesome. The food was soooo good, so many choices. Nothing ever ran low. We will definitely be back read more

Pirate's Table Calabash Seafood Buffet - Seafood Near Me - Surfside Beach, South Carolina

Wow! What a fun Buffet! The pirate theme alone is worth the trip. Lol. As of right now it's $48.99 a person which seems to be average for all the buffets on the strip. Definitely worth it for all you can eat crab legs. The carved to order prime rib was so flavorful. We are happy happy customers. Will definitely be back! read more

Right off the bat, there's ALOT going on haha. They are really true to the pirate theme. The mermaids are neat and the staff stated they will be your "pirate" for the evening--which is cool. The buffet is smaller than we imagined-as compared to The Giant Crab or Benjamins BUT the crab was cooked to absolute perfection. We didn't have to fight for any meat at all and it wasn't overdone whatsoever. The deserts were hit and miss--the chocolate covered strawberries were soggy and the chocolate was flimsy on the Outside, the chocolate cake was SUPER dry, the watermelon had gotten warm and grainy but the dirt pudding was good and my husband raved over the pecan pie. For the money, we expected much more of a selection but we will probably return with our daughter for the experience. read more

Atmosphere is great for kids! The food is horrible... the only thing I could eat was the crab legs and those were super small. I love seafood, this food just all tasted like the same type of fish. I would not waste money there. I wasted 122 dollars after tax on 2 people.. left and picked up something else read more

Everything was good - pictures were amazing I had an amazing time. The food was good. The atmosphere was amazing. I celebrated my birthday. Everyone was very kind. read more

Our absolute favorite buffet in Myrtle Beach! The staff are all so friendly, the food is great, and nothing on the buffet is ever empty! We come here every year and are never disappointed! read more

Pirate's Table Calabash Seafood Buffet - Live mermaid and pirate theme!! - Seafood Near Me - Surfside Beach, South Carolina

First off, the entire staff couldn't have been any better-all very attentive your wants. Second, the ambiance was above and beyond-especially liked that the buffet was served from the deck of a pirate ship. Third, like every one else, there was nothing special about the buffet. With salad and dressings minus drinks there was approximately 75 items. Enough for us, just mostly tasteless-even the crab legs had no flavor. Great place to go if on a bland diet. Sorry, can not recommend or return. read more

Pirate's Table Calabash Seafood Buffet - Side of bldg., themed - Seafood Near Me - Surfside Beach, South Carolina

Disappointment, crab was freezer burnt and tasted old. The rest of the food was mediocre at best. I feel that was money wasted. I'm sad. A lot of money spent for family of 6. I can get better crab an seafood back in Kansas. read more

We enjoyed our visit to Pirates Table. Excellent service and delicious food. Of course all you can eat crab legs were a hit. Loved the cannons firing off and the pirates and mermaids. Fun dining experience. read more

This place here is fantastic. The pirate interacts with the kiddos very well. It will be something the kids will remember. We ate at the Pirates Table on June 3rd 2025. On June 4th 2025 we went to Captain George's and Captain Benjamin's just to walk out. We went back to The Pirate's Table. We haven't found a buffet in Myrtle Beach that comes close to what the Pirate's Table has. They stay on top of stocking the buffet and the food is out of this world good. Jamie M was our waitress. She done an amazing job both nights for us. We will ask for her on our next visit. I promise you won't be disappointed. It's my new favorite place. Rrrrrrrr. Thank you, Jeff. read more

Extreme choices of food and fresh. Service was Great!! Ambiance was amazing they have real mermaids and pirates. Will return

We went bc there was a live mermaid for our twin 3 yr old granddaughters to see. She did not disappoint! They loved her and she was the perfect mermaid for them to meet. The food was good. Not the best seafood buffet but the staff and ambience make up for it. Recommend for sure if you want a theme(ish) dinner. read more

Live mermaids! So fun. What an awesome atmosphere and food selection! The Crab legs are my favorite, but nice selection of other seafood and non seafood items. Great service & Pirate Donnie is the best! read more

What an excellent seafood buffet! I wasn't sure if we should go cause trust me I've had BAD food at seafood buffets. This was a game changer! They had just about anything you would want in their seafood buffet Oysters of the half shell, fresh crab legs, shrimp, and just so many delicious choices! Tonight I had the very best SheCrab soup I've ever had, delicious!! Go eat and enjoy yourself. Right across from Ocean Lakes Campground. read more

The only reason this restaurant is getting two stars instead of one star is because of the ambiance and cleanliness. The mermaids and decor are wonderful. The servers were prompt, friendly and helpful. The food on the other hand was awful. The 'crab' on the cold bar was imitation crab. Everything tasted like it had been frozen at one point. The crab legs were fishy tasting. The lemon dessert was grainy. The chocolate cake was terrible. The corn on the cob was chewy but somehow still mushy? Don't spend $50 per person here. Go somewhere else. read more

How could I resist live mermaids! The food was top notch and staff was very fast and polite. Buffet is pricey, so don't get sticker shock when you get the bill! read more

So we saw one of those plane flying with a banner! Too lazy to drive all the way to Captain George's, so we decided to try Pirate's Table. 100% better than Captain George's. The place is super clean, the buffet area is clean, clean, clean. Four people manning just the buffet - refilling and making sure everything is perfect. The server was on the spot with refills and taking dirty plates away. Shout out to the manager lady, she came by our table twice to check on us - she also helped out the buffet staff with refilling and cleaning. Food - the largest and tastiest oysters I have ever had. Just awesome, I posted a pic. I figure I ate at least three dozen. So perfect. Crab legs - perfectly steamed, not soggy. You know that snap you get when you crack a leg - just awesome! Prime Rib - overdone! I like mine rare - but I had a slice and the flavor was excellent and the rub was to die for. Chicken Marsala - give it a try, not your typical dish. Made with tender thigh meat in a cream based Marsala. Very good, just different. I enjoyed the fried shrimp and fried oysters, the breading was very flavorful, kind of spicy, reminds me on hand breaded home cooked fried food. Overall, super happy with our visit. Look online, there is a $4 off coupon! We will be back! read more

We are locals and have always enjoyed coming to this restaurant. It was a busy Father's Day when my son took me for dinner there. The Crab legs were fresh and kept full. There is always a good variety of different dishes to try. A few things that I didn't enjoy was the Prime Rib station had precut slices of prime rib already cut. I did ask the woman to cut me a fresh piece and she just picked up a piece already cut. Not what I wanted but it was good, just cool not warm. I did bring to the host walking around about the chicken Marsala was dried out. He did let someone know but it stayed out. Viktoria was our pirate server and gave us Great service. Viktoria was very attentive to our requests. I still enjoy the buffet and I do recommend it to anyone visiting our area of Myrtle Beach. read more

100/10 experience the pirate themed stuff was so cool and the food was amazing and the desserts were so good it was so delicious and our waiter Alen was so respectful he was one of the best waiter we ever had in a long time he was respectful and kind and it was cool to meet a fellow person not from here 10/10 ask for alen! and i loved the ambiance it was so cool and they had the mermaids and the cannons actually fired smoke and the gift shop was cool too! i 100% recommend. read more

The buffet including the dessert buffet has a lot of options. This restaurant has a fun atmosphere and children will probably enjoy the ambiance of eating inside a pirate ship. They have mermaids in a pool, waterfall and lots of items you might see on a pirate ship. As with most buffets, the food was very average including the desserts. It was nice to see a buffet back. Everyone who went through the buffet line had to put on plastic gloves. Since this is a buffet, the meal was quick? A few in our party loved the all you can eat crab legs. Price per person was $44.95 and 19.99 fo children - after taxes and tips it cost $360.00 for six of us to eat. The $360.00 included using all available coupons. During my time at Myrtle this was our most expensive less savory meal. read more

We had a very amazing experience at this restaurant while vacationing in Myrtle Beach. The ambience was extremely beautiful, and the food was excellent. The crabcakes were not as good as Maryland's, but to be expected anywhere. Our waitress was very prompt, friendly, and quick to fill anything we needed. The mermaid in the water was a definite plus. The dessert bar was absolutely wonderful. At $50 a head, there were plenty of choices for everyone's taste. read more
