One of the best all you can eat seafood places in the area. Place gets extremely busy at dinner so I highly advise go before 4pm. Bring coupon from monster coupon book !!!

Timothy Paxton

Everything and everyone was just great, the food was the most tasty food that I have eaten. I will return in the Fall to eat again.

Shiyana Bellamy

Pretty expensive , but you can eat all you want at this buffet . Great atmosphere and you get to take a photo with the captain. Did I mention they have some addictive hush puppies ? Yummmmy!

Arlene Thompson

Pricey but good food overall . Crab legs a hit. If you are not a seafood fan seemed to have great buffet variety to suit most desires! Hush puppies great! Our waiter was very personable and helpful. M

(4*) $29.99 adults $12.99 kids. Best buffet in MB! Come hungry!! If you want 5* seafood dishes without the buffet atmosphere head up to the "Flying Fish " at Barefoot Landing. (Shoes Required)

Bernie Jaroscak

Had the buffet this evening was excellent, not just seafood . There is Italian sauce prepared to order, beef roast with all the trimmings, salad and desert table is excellent.

Maria Pflugradt

Delicious fried crawdaddies, other calabash seafood , as well as delicious desserts and good service . I definitely recommend coming here

Liz Lemon

Probably my favorite restaurant of all-time. I am from NY but I can remember everything about visiting this very delicious, very theme-y place on a trip to SC. & GREAT HUSHPUPPIES YES!

Claire Ardis

We came here for crab legs and hush puppies and were not disappointed! Crab legs are fresh and well-cooked (though some were dryish) and the hush puppies were amazing. Rest of the bar is bland but yum

D Divita

Call first. Long drive, tired and hungry, we searched for places open a little later. Benjamin's lists a closing time of 10:30, but the Pirate turned us, and at least 6 other parties away @ 9-9:15.Ugh

Adam Burrell

Quite the experience. Soooo much to choose from but most is subpar quality food. Come for the crab legs .

PHILLIS PETERSON

170. Items,on the menu,u,can't GO wrong..delicious..great service,prompt,waitress cleared tablet as crab bowls were being filled....great!!!

Psiyina Davis

Go early so you won't have to fight to get a park or wait in long line . Love the crab legs !!! Everything was delicious!! Key lime pie for dessert - fantabulous!!

Andre

The crab legs were epic and the hush puppies put sparkles in my eyes. We come here every year for vacation and I'm always happy (and stuffed!) afterwards.

Calabash= lightly breaded , deep fried. Huge buffet but they turn the food over very regularly so you are always getting something fresh.

Grace

Every single year I save a day to visit this place. Never fails, best buffet here! Endless snow crab legs , amazing service

Kristin

Make sure you're appropriately dressed . The pirate at the front door refused to let a woman in because she was only wearing a t-shirt and bikini bottoms. Pants are a good thing, y'all!

Justin Bongard

Incredible selection and food. Best seafood place there is. It's expensive for a reason. Value is only there if you eat a lot.

Andrew Jordan

Love it. Eat here every year for our big meal. Crab legs here are great! Costly, like 30$/person but worth it. Stay away from the crab cakes

Carla Norville

Starting off with the best tasting hush puppies ever that then leads to 170 choices of food...

Brad Stewart

Best things we ate were the jumbo and the coconut shrimp . Prime rib was good as well ! Staff very friendly . Will come back for sure!

Esau Harris

Loved it! I have an allergic reaction to seafood , but so what!!! They're the bomb!! I a repeat customer and I will keep going!!

Derrick Wilson

By far the best seafood buffet in myrtle beach . Way better than seafood world, seafare, or giant crab . Make sure u go to THE ORIGINAL Benjamin's though

Kathy

Their hush puppies are to die for but hold off on it until the end of your buffet . Come after 6pm if you don't like the hustle and bustle of the crowd.

Kristy L.

Our favorite seafood buffet . The crablegs are amazing and the rest of the food is delicious too!!

Sarah Jamillah

Really friendly and helpful staff ! Great waiter (who seemed to magically appear with napkins the moment our son spilled his juice ). Very family friendly !

C H

While the food was good it wasn’t amazing. When we went the place was PACKED and it made it difficult to enjoy the experience. Our waiter was incredible though. All in all good but not great.

Angel Lee

Food is good - had some good stuff and some yucky items, staff is wonderful, extremely crowded , seat assignment is fun

Pure Serenity

Largest selection of food in the area. Greatest service! Long wait times, but the lines do move fast for the amount of people.

Christy Jenks

Avoid the prime rib (it's tough as leather) but the crab legs are amazing!!

Carlito Mojica

Come hungry! Big appetite, small plates . When they ask you if a flight of stairs is ok say no. If you say yes, they will place you downstairs...not fun going down the stairs with full plates of food.

Madison and cookies

The popcorn shrimp and crab legs were good. It was expensive . You need to come hungry! A lot of the food was cold but the staff was pretty nice. The desserts could have been better.

Emily Harvey

The food was delicious. A little pricey but worth it

Tripp

Amazing food! Amazing atmosphere! Amazing staff ! The new crab cakes are EXCELLENT!!!!!! Def check it out.

Carol Townsend

The seafood is delish and fresh. Prime rib is so good.

Tiffany Russ

Great buffet for competitive prices! Even the pickiest eaters can find stuff they love here!

Shannon O

Greatest hush puppies ever! And that says a lot, coming from a northern. I would pay for the recipe!!!

Kenneth Rosenberg

I usually love this place. Tonight the crab legs were hard to break and the meat really tough to get out. I’m not sure why maybe they were old. For the first time it was very disappointing.

Jill Brailey

The all you can eat crab legs are out of this world! Meaty, sweet, and juicy.

Johnny Moss

Amazing selection, tad pricey though, but good.

Alexis Legue

Omg the food is amazing! I'm in crab leg and coconut shrimp heaven!

Courtney Allen

Don't forget your coupon!

Austin Bauserman

Wonderful environment. Very crowded . Not for agoraphobics. Ask for Becky if possible.

Paige Miller

Amazing crab legs . My mother ate 10 plates :)

Mike Carter

Seafood heaven! Lots of choices and good service .

Gary Rupert

Great seafood . Best I have ever eaten. You must eat here.

Danielle Gray

Good was ok. The food was not hot. The answering machine said $27.99 but it was really $31.99. Hush puppies were great. Not worth the $$. Go to Captain Georges!!

William Simpson

Best all seafood u can eat around. Been going every year for 5 years!

Steve U.

What a UNIQUE dining experience! Highly Recommend! Great For The Whole Family!

Courtney
