food at OPEN was obvious day-old... shrimp was very tough, cheese sticks cold in middle. $6 "coupon" canceled out by the taxes. server didn't check back on us. price was 49.99 when the phone says 39.99..... they won't honor that price. wasn't worth the experience. very limited options, most of their total number of "options" were salad toppings. as someone who doesn't eat fish (shrimp is only seafood i like) i felt very limited in the options. steaks were haphazardly cooked, mine was rare and my husband's was well done, in the same spot on the buffet. very hot inside the facility, the whole experience was not one i'd redo. i would have preferred to save the money and hit up a drive thru instead. left hungry and disappointed, i think they're paying for fake reviews. everyone in the facility today looked very disappointed by the quality as well. best part about it was when we left. read more

Great attentive sever, gariann was her name, food was decent. Would probably come here again even though it's a bit crazy at dinner time

Love this place. Great food and amazing atmosphere! Definitely recommend coming here when you are in MB!

Our waiter, "Ocean," was absolutely fantastic. Very funny and engaging! There was a nice selection of food choices--typical salad bar, soups, stuffed shells, Mac and cheese, corn, fried okra, etc., many fish and seafood selections, such as several different shrimp preparation, Mahi Mahi, Tilapia, Flounder, Catfish, fried oysters, etc. The crab legs were plentiful--steamed beautifully and kept replenished. Great choice overall, and open later than most in the area. read more

Seafood World - Buffets Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Our family of four vacations in Myrtle Beach twice a year, and my teenage boys enjoy visiting a buffet when we're here. We chose Seafood World because they had a 2-for-1 promotion in a local coupon book. I am a 100 pound, 4'11" woman who eats less than a child--I also do not eat seafood, so I basically go to these buffets to be with my family and pick at a small plate of food. Unfortunately, Seafood World would only honor one coupon for our party of four, meaning I still had to pay the full $50.00. When I asked to order and pay for a sandwich or entree from the menu, I was told that the only option was the $50.00 buffet. I tried to explain that I would literally be eating $3.00 worth of food to no avail--it was $50.00 or nothing, so I chose "nothing." I sat at Seafood World and drank ice-water while my family ate from the buffet. Three waitstaff people, along with the original greeter, watched me like a hawk the entire time (making sure I didn't "sneak," food from anyone's plate I guess?). Not purchasing the buffet was 100% my choice, but the staff made me feel uncomfortable. On top of that, my family said that the food was mediocre at best with half the options of some of the other buffets we've visited. Bottom line...we won't be visiting Seafood World again. read more

Love the seafood there!!! They were so many options. The mushrooms were so good as well. The buffet price was a little higher than I expected, but it was worth it. The service was great and it was family friendly vibes. read more

Extremely disappointing experience! After ordering, the server comes back to tell half of us our platter isn't available because there is no shrimp. NO SHRIMP! A seafood restaurant has no shrimp. What?! My daughter got the buffet solely for the crawfish, but after getting her plate and looking for crawfish on the buffet, NOPE. No crawfish. Oh...also no lobsters. The fried fish on the buffet was tough as hell. IF you come here, it better ask up front what they actually have. read more

The food had a good variety of seafood option. The price, I would is worth it for the amount and variety they provide. That being said, it is not like top of the line anything just due to the buffet environment. Crab was hit or miss if you could get it out in one strand. Shrimp was alittle tough but v well seasoned. Steak was good and good medium to medium well. Highly recommend their crab bites and chocolate pudding Service was so good. My waitress was so kind and attentive to our table. read more

I completely agree with the rest of the reviewers, you don't get your monies worth UNLESS you're going for the crab legs. The hush puppies were amazing but everything else was blah. We made sure we got our monies worth with the crab legs but not impressed to go back. When I sat down to eat my first plate, the fried okra was cold, fried butterfly shrimp was eh, cucumbers tasted old, crab legs we're hot and good, steak didn't eat (didn't look appealing anymore). I literally just ate crab legs and hush puppies. Oh, my fiancé LOVESSSSS oysters and he didn't bother to pick one up, he said they looked dry. read more

We are in town for a wedding and we're looking for seafood. We were pleasantly surprised the buffet was well stocked and the food was delicious. We enjoyed everything we ate and the service was excellent. Marcie was very attentive to making sure we enjoyed ourselves. Halls took our picture which was a lot of fun. Anytime we are on Myrtle Beach we this will be our first stop. read more

Military discounts are excepted, just a few dollars but every dollar counts now nowadays. How was the food? There were a lot of dry and cold food. When the new round of warm or hot food is set out ensure you get to it quick. What's missing. Steamed vegetables of any kind. Vegetables are only on the salad area. read more

Very good food. My husband and I didn't go for the buffet, but loved our plates. Service is above and beyond, Vlad L was superb. Nice family ambience, good beer. read more

Not even close to worth $50 per person. Their Mac and cheese was runny, the mashed potatoes were not even edible (not sure how one messes up mashed potatoes), the fried flounder was cold and unseasoned, the whiting was cold and rubbery and the service was lacking. Here is the good: my son's and husband ate a ton of crab legs. They were fresh and replenished often. The hushpuppies they bring to the table with thr honey butter sauce are very good. read more

Good food and service. Also, the hush puppies were good as well. When I'm back in town, I'll stop by

The food was good, we went in around 8 and they decided they were closing at 8:30. We were not informed of this when we walked in. Instead we got some food off of the buffet line and felt rushed as we were eating because they were actively closing down around us. The kitchen staff were giving us dirty looks through the service window. This was not worth the $127 we paid for TWO people. If you agree to close at 8:30 let people walking in know. Or at the very least not make them feel rushed while they're eating during normal business hours that are posted on google. Our waitress was the only person that wasn't making us feel rushed. Not worth the money and want a refund. read more

the food was great Marcy did a great job definitely would recommend everything was fresh

We decided to try a smaller buffet since we had eaten at a huge Calabash buffet, and this one was good. There is also a menu, and most foods on it are fried. We gave our name, and waited in the car for 20 minutes before going in. Upon ordering the waiter gave us a picture menu of the buffet. We circled five food items, then stood in a line which moved quickly. A server took the paper and filled the plate. A salad bar contained Caesar and leaf salads, and lots of fresh fruit. I was able to go to the salad items and tell the server what I wanted. The desserts included Tres Leche cake! But no ice cream. The crab legs were good. We all liked the ribeye and strip steaks. We recommend having the large stuffed mushrooms and fried okra. The corn on the cob was tough and tasteless. When we were ready for a new plate we circled the food items and stood in line again. The process worked well. read more

it Says world's best seafood, so we went in looking for some delicious seafood, long story short, the food was trash, the service was trash 10 out of 10 I wouldn't recommend read more

The worst and most expensive buffet ever. It's $50/person for buffet. The menu orders we received my husband chicken tender are pre-frozen tenders and they were not done. Shrimp was nasty and their were not butterfly. This place is dark and gloomy, it's a lot of foreigners that work here which was an experience. Well never visit again read more

Anastasia was a great server. The food was good and since we had been here before, we thought we'd go again. Off season... not crowded. Nice. read more

The ratings aren't as high as some of the others around Myrtle, but from our experience, the place was just fine. We were told it would be a 30 minute wait, so when we were admitted after 25, we were pleasantly surprised. I usually eat exclusively Prime Rib and crab at these places, so it was a little different that they didn't have Prime Rib here, instead offering ribeye and New York strip. The crab was spot on and they kept it filled all through our time there. It was packed, but the food never ran short anywhere. Overall was a great experience, and would go again! read more

So, just went to lunch to this restaurant. As soon as a group of us walk in our server was having a tude that's quite dishonest by saying they only have an all you can eat buffet. Now me and my baby sis don't eat that much anymore so I needed a menu and our particular server named Anastasia was not forthcoming with the service they provided. However, came through with the military discount. Mind you, their receipt will tell you they will charge extra if you pay by credit and since it was more than a group of us as a former waitress I know they will do a gratuity tip. Now, if information is key the restaurant and waitress was stealing more from their customer which was clarified by the manager that they do give change back which I didn't receive and the receipt back. For 84.36 minus 85 dollars I gave I expect honesty by giving that change to me. I expect 64 cents back. But at the end barely ask if I need to replenish my cup of water. Proceeded to give me more tude of a turd by saying "we approximate and don't give any change back." Since when in the United States of America was people entitled to steal even a penny without asking? How are you good at customer service? At the end which I should've not still gave her my hard earned money. But tells you how dishonest certain people are. There's a mistake and there's a pattern. read more

Average buffet food. Not very impressed but our service was good. Soft drinks not included with the price of the buffet.

Good place and staff is very responsive and food was tasty . They even had frog legs yet I did not try them.

The restaurant was clean and not busy for a Sunday afternoon. The food was really good and plentiful at the buffet. Our waitress (LaToya) was very nice and attentive to our family. She was awesome and made us feel right at home. We are off to a great start to our vacation and will definitely add this to our must return restaurant!! read more

It was very good. Wait time was not bad. At all. Only bad thing is we where hoping to order plates for some of kids. And we couldn't. They would only let u order off buffet. Even though it was on web site u could. Beside that gr read more

I had high hopes but was disappointed. Food was mediocre at best. Not a lot of selection compared to other seafood buffets. Many items not fresh. Don't waste your $51. Go elsewhere. read more

Skip it! Glorified ponderosa with seafood options. 90% are fried. The shrimp are over cooked. The crab legs are small. The fish was meh at best. Overpriced. Could find legit fresh seafood for a better price and quality. read more

If you're looking for a place to satisfy your seafood appetite, come eat here. Food was great, ask for Vlad and Latoya.

Excellent services and great seafood Buffett. We are definitely coming back to eat here next time we are here in Myrtle Beach. read more

We're locals and out of ALL the seafood buffets we've tried around here so far, this one is one of our favorites! The crab legs were to die for! Food had flavor and spice! We will be coming back and recommending it to friends. read more

Just chose a different restaurant if you're looking for seafood. Our family was looking for a restaurant that had a menu as well as a buffet and we stumbled upon this restaurant. I guess we expected a nice sit down restaurant, but this is more of a long john silvers buffet joint. The decor is very overwhelming and our service was not the best. Our server checked on us maybe twice and we had to ask workers passing by for refills. Now on to the food. Oh boy where do I start. The menu needs to be updated definitely the pictures look very unappealing. I personally got the chicken skewers and for $20 they are very underwhelming. Everything just tasted so bland. I had to add tons of old bay. The buffet is $50 and from what I saw it was no where near worth it. The ice cream machine was broken and it just did not look appetizing. There are so so many more options in the area... just leave this place alone! read more

I was so excited to try a calabash style buffet when we got to Myrtle Beach. I cant compare the quality of food to similar restaurants, but based on what I saw in the coupon books Seafood World is priced a good bit more than some of the others in the area. It was $45 for anyone over 12, $25 for kids over 5 or 6, and $10 for kids younger than that. Drinks are $4 which is really pricey for fountain drinks. The buffet itself seemed to have a pretty good selection. Other reviews complain about cold food but everything I had was hot and tasted fresh. The crab legs were tasty and plentiful. The fried oysters were huge and prepared perfectly. They had a couple steak options, but those were a little overcooked for my taste (medium well at least). The cold buffet section was your standard buffet fare. Nothing special but nothing bad either. We arrived at 6 for dinner and there was a line out the door. It took maybe 30 minutes before we were seated, and there were a good 50 or more people behind us by the time we got up to be seated. This was on a Saturday night though. Still, if you go you should probably prepare to wait. read more

Food was good, lots of choices of food. Crab legs were good not salty perfectly steamed. Latonya who was our server was very friendly very efficient. We didn't have to wait for refills or our baskets and plates to be emptied. Would definitely come again read more

Yuck, don't waste your money here. Cold, previously frozen and then overcooked seafood that cost over $50 for lunch with one beer, plus tax and tip. The crab legs were cold and dried out, ditto for the breaded, fried shrimp. The soft serve ice cream emits some liquid before any ice cream comes out, very unappealing. There was very little edible food and I was not happy with the experience. I don't recommend this joint, the fact that you have to enter and exit through a tacky gift shop should have been a tip off to me that it's a tourist trap with crappy food, in excess. read more

Food was okay at best. Crab legs were good and service was fine. They offer $5 off if you write a 5 star Google review. Also a coupon in the local coupon book for $7 off before 3. Would not recommend. Should have checked yelp reviews before coming. read more

Mediocre food at the best. Tables are super tight. Food is flavorless. For $50 a person, the food should be better. It should have at least been warm and not dry. Plus, drinks are extra. $4 for an iced tea or lemonade. Don't recommend at all read more

I must say after reading the reviews we were second guessing to come...they did not disappoint the food the service (ask for Latoya) was off the hook! Highly recommend. They were very clean and consistent with making sure everything was fresh OHHH & the hush puppies can't forget them bad boys' so good read more

This restaurant has a nice seafood buffet. The selection are not quite as vast as some other buffets in MB, but they had everything I was looking for except fried clam strips. The service was really good and the crab legs were delicious. It also was not very crowded. read more
