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

See all

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

I'll be honest the signs flown over the beach got our attention especially the live mermaids one, but I'll admit this seafood buffet is very underwhelming. They say they have over 170 items and they probably do but I was opposed to stopping by from the very beginning and my intuition is rarely wrong. The parking: a jam packed lot where everyone had big trucks & park over the lines so getting in and out of my truck was a hassle. The service: The hostesses seem to hate their jobs probably because it's far too hot outside to be dressed in full pirate garb in the middle of summer. Our actual server Son E pretty attentive until a large party was seated near us. The live mermaid was an interesting touch though, but mostly for kids IMO. The food: It is your typical overpriced seafood buffet at about $45 per person. We got $8 off with the attached coupon and I still feel like they owe us some money back still. The seafood included almost every type you'd expect - oysters, crabs, shrimp, crawfish, clams, etc but it wasn't fresh at all which is weird considering it's Myrtle beach. They provide gloves for sanitary purposes and to help eliminate some of the germ transfer I but most people weren't even wearing a mask during the pandemic, which we are still in the midst, of so they definitely disregarded those. Also there were lots of kids touching and serving themselves as well as handicapped people breathing directly on the food as the glass shield meant to keep this from happening doesn't accommodate or take them into account. The drinks: They offer beer ($5-6 for Coronas, Budweiser etc & wine - red or white. That's it, that's all. 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

Don't waste your time with this one. Overcooked food, overpriced, low quality fried shrimp, dried bbq ribs, prime rib tasted like roast beef, rubbery scallops. The employees were the only saving grace...very nice and attentive. We will never go back. What a waste of time and $100. read more

Read the reviews so heres the straight poop from the captains deck, True first rate fresh seafood, and attentive waitstaff, just no feeding the mermaids, what a cool themed dining experiance pirate waitresses, mermaids in the pool and sailing ship rigging flys overhead. Plentiful, flavorful, fun, and yes pricy but i ask you, when did you last see alaskan snow crab walking along a Sputh Carolina beach? Yep check airfair from dutch harbor Alaska to Myrtle beach? What you thought they hitchiked? The Salmon so fresh it seems hours not weeks they were swiming up stream. So before you cry its to spendy, consider air fair to catch your own, license, hotel and meals. Now figure scallops, shrimp, catfish, flounder, and everything else perfectly prepared. My wife and I missed our seafood buffets in the indian casino up in Seattle, so we put the hurt on the snow crab population. We felt we got we paid for. Check prices of all these items in the store, so really prices are pn target, but adding in help, equipment costs and all other operating costs, you shpuld be asking how do they do it? No i dont work here, first time very pleased customer, i can see our goto special dinners ( birthdays, anniversaries, date weekends) living in North Charleston 90 miles away, just right distance to make you hungry. 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

Best seafood buffet I've been to in Myrtle Beach. It's pricey but worth it. Crab legs were fresh and so many yummy other items. Loved the baked salmon, shrimp etc. you definitely won't leave hungry! Mermaid was a nice touch and the whole pirate theme was nicely done. The place is huge and they kept the food coming. Our server was Son, and she kept our plates cleaned and drinks filled with a smile. read more

Can't recommend this place enough!! The food was good but the experience and service is what really makes it. The man who played the pirate was just such a good time-incredible! He walks around and cracks jokes and interacts with the kids. Wait staff are all dressed in costumes. So cool to have a mermaid swimming around as well and interacting with the kids. The dessert bar was delish! The bathrooms were renovated and impeccably clean. Highly recommend read more

Pirate's Table Calabash Seafood Buffet - Deviled crab, Italian sausage & peppers, stuffed shrimp!!, prime rib, crab legs - Seafood Near Me - Surfside Beach, South Carolina

Buffet style seafood with crab legs are expected to be expensive. But I feel the quality of food here isn't what it used to be. Everything on the buffet was cooked too long, salmon dry, ribs too done, etc but the crab legs were great. And no way do I think a 5 and up buffet should be 22.99! Go down the street to crabby Mike's. The buffet quality is much better and cheaper! read more

This place is right in line with cost of most of the buffets, out of the way and right next to an ice cream shop. Parking is free and ample. The buffet had a nice variety and even a good cold/raw bar. I had oysters, shrimp, crab legs and many other things. Everything was good. The buffet is built into a huge ship structure. They have a mermaid ‍ playing games with the kids and swimming. My server was always ready to go with a refill and clearing of plates or shell baskets! Great service. read more

Best crab legs in myrtle beach area. Super clean restaurant with great theme. Absolute gem

If you're looking for crab legs, then this is worth the $48.99 per plate. Snow crab legs were plentiful and replenished regularly, and came Cajun style or plain. Did not have a fishy taste to me as mentioned in a previous review. As for the rest of the food offered, it was low end to mediocre. Prime rib station was unattended and seemed to be rationed. The portions varied from over cooked to undercooked. Decor is really cool with a pirate theme and even on a slow night the mermaid was swimming. Service was great and even got a free cocktail as the waitress messed up our first drink order. read more

I have to say i was pretty impressed this place really gave Captain George's (a competitor seafood buffet that is where a lot of people go to) a run for their money. The restaurant was VERY clean, even the restroom was impressive. The exterior could use some work though but it gets the job done. Our server was kind and attentive as well. The food was comparable to other calabash buffets and surprising to say well seasoned. They even had a photographer go table to table and offer a free print pic (in hopes of course you will buy additional prints, but the did not come across pushy at all when we declined) and the neat touch was the mermaid just floating near by doing tail flips for tips lol. Gotta say I would probably return if I was in town and a buffet mood. read more

LIVE MERMAIDS! I follow @haleymermaid on TikTok, and came here because of her. Show was super cute, food was pretty run of the mill for seafood buffets in the area (we visited 3 in the 7 days we were here), but the ambiance can't be beat. Very entertaining and "piratey." Lol The buffet is a pirate ship! Cute place. read more

Took my daughter here for her birthday last week and it was nice. My kids loved the inside and how lavish the pirate decor was. The food was ok there were a few things that could have used more seasoning but it was pretty good for the most part however my little birthday girl was blown away by the pretty mermaid that they had swimming in the front of the restaurant! She was so nice and really made my daughter's day special!! Thanks Erin the mermaid! read more

Atmosphere was awesome. Everyone was in costume, live mermaids in pool setting which was inside restaurant. Above the pool is a pirate ship with pirates and tons of decor. Food was excellent. So many choices. In addition to seafood they had prime rib and a big dessert bar. Waitress was magnificent. She smiled from the first moment we sat down until the moment we left. She thanked us each time she came as she picked up the shell trash basket. Price was high but coupons on their website helped. read more

Great buffet food with great service. All you can eat crab legs. Price as advertised. Convenient location. Tons of parking. 15 mins drive from myrtle beach main strip. Irena, the hostess? Server? Floor manager? Was wonderful! She gave great service. Will be back next time I'm in Myrtle. read more

We originally came for the prime rib which was prepared to perfection but was pleasantly shocked by the meaty crab legs, spicy buffalo wings and all of the other entrees, sides and desserts. The staff was very attentive and friendly with their pirate attire to go along with the theme of the restaurant. Very child friendly because they have a gift shop geared for them as well as the mermaid pond and pirate statues. We will definitely be back to this establishment five stars all around. read more

9 yr old granddaughter wanted to go here because she's in love with crab, mermaids and pirates. ‍ So, we get right right in, no wait around 4:30. The place smells good, looks clean. The buffet tables are enormous and loaded with all sorts of delicacies. The good: crab, clams, prime rib, ribs, shrimp, salad. The bad: overcooked mussels, chowders were too sweet, stuffed shells undercooked. All the desserts we tried were very good. The adult drinks were very good. The service was exceptional. The mermaids were friendly. We ate way too much. Pretty good value. read more

We are here on vacation definitely Five stars all around. The pirate and the mermaids were highly interactive with the children. Donnie the pirate is so friendly, caring, and always checking to make sure everything is okay.He's a huge asset to the business. We look forward to seeing him each time we've been here. The food was amazing and our server was very pleasant, efficient, and friendly. The prices are extremely reasonable. There is ample parking. The restaurant is very clean, the buffet line is well maintained, and the food is delicious. Definitely a wonderful experience! read more

Don't waste your money. The crab legs were warmed over and certainly not fresh. People flocked to this place but being from a coastal town - it was horrible. read more

The food was pretty good. There were a few things I didn't like but that's to be expected at a buffet. The prime rib was a bit too dry and the water melon tasted odd. Sort of a light chemical taste. The lobster soup didn't taste good to me either. Our attendant was shocked that I didn't like it and pressured me to explain what I didn't like about it. I just didn't like the seasoning and that's that. Otherwise, the place is exceptionally clean, the seafood was great and the staff were very attentive. The ambiance of the pirate decor, costumes and a mermaid swimming in the water made it well worth $50 a person. I love going to Crabby Mikes but this was a nice change from the same ole same ole. It's good food and a great place to bring the kids. read more

We've eaten here for years on vacation(was The Sea Farer before moving from Murrells Inlet). We loved it then.....and have tried to give them a chance to make things better since changing hands. They've out priced themselves! $49 is a bit steep for sub par food, cheap sides (corn, carrots, rice, baked potatoes etc) and the desserts are gross.....institutional food is 80% of their menu! Salad bar has no fresh fruit anymore, beef items are over cooked and leathery, shrimp still has the mud vein, Drinks are not included-not even tea or lemonade! Restrooms floors are so slick and greasy I can't help but wonder what the kitchen looks like. ALL the staff has very thick accent and act like they don't understand you-and expect big tips for removing plates. Hard to get water refills but I'm sure if you're buying drinks they're all over refills for more $ Oh and they give the locals a discount. Not sure that's cool!! We're finished eating there forever! Sad to ruin a longtime tradition buttttttt...... read more

It's a tourist trap. Food wasn't that good. The mashed red potatoes were the best item on the buffet. Two people $130 and the best item was mashed potatoes. Service was great. Décor was awesome. Clean. When you exit the restaurant you have to exit through a gift shop. Tourist trap. Crabby Mikes down the street was much better food. Same price. read more
