Review: Best crab legs at any buffet we ate at! Lots of choices on the buffet. Definitely a good value when using the $6 early bird discount as well! Great service as well.

Review: We were seated very quickly,The waitress was friendly and prompt. We don't eat crab legs and felt the other items on the serving line did not justify the cost.. The boiled shrimp and chocolate chip cookies were the only bright spots of the meal.The quality of the hot food was terrible. The seafood was overcooked and/or greasy. The fruit was not fresh and the other desserts were below average and not well prepared. Overall, this was a waste of our time and money ($70 for 2 people). Will not be returning.

Review: We were there on Feb 27th and everything we got was either cold or lukewarm. Salmon is our favorite & this was tough, chewy and cold. Very disappointed as we have eaten there often throught the years and always enjoyed it - except for the dessert bar which is inadequate. This has been our favorite seafood bar for years but don't know if will ever go back again.

Review: We ate here july of 2010 and loved it. We will deff be back this summer and to the couple who ate here for their anniversary but had to sit by a family with children I understand you left yours at home for this special occassion but I have children and in my oppinion if you didnt want to eat were there is children you should have had a romantic meal on the beach or in your own home and sent the kids off. This offends me knowing that this place is always packed you knew it wasnt going to be a quit evening when you arrived!!

Review: We ate at Bennetts on 11-14-10. Very disappointed. While the crablegs were still the biggest on the strand and good, the service was poor. Read earlier post about service and totally agree. First you are seated and told to help yourselves to salad bar, it takes atleast 5 minutes longer for hem to bring you a plate for buffet. The another 5-10 minutes for crackersand butter! It's like they try to discourage you any way they can from eating the more expensive items. The fried seafood was vey good and the fried chicken was good, but prime rib and steak was terrible. No doubt it had been setting on the bar all day! To top it all off had the section by the waterway closed off! Then set us by a family with 4 little kids. We were here for our anniv. and left our kids at home, we didn't want someone elses! Ate here in June and thouroughly enjoyed it, but won't come again. If you want good seafood do yourself a favor and get it at a sit down restaurant, always better quality. We have now learned the lesson, we are done with buffets!

Review: Checked this Buffet out online and wow were we fooled! This place was TERRIBLE. All meat items were overcooked, all fried food tasted the same, didn't matter if it was fish, shrimp or chicken. The price was $26.50 per person. I have never been so disappointed in a buffet in all 50 years of my life. I am from Oklahoma, and most seafood is good to me. My wife is from Maryland, I thought she was going to throw up before she finished her first bite. The dessert was not even edible, one bite of a chocolate cake and I had to toss it. My 15 year old wouldn't even eat his strawberry cake. The ice cream machine was broken too. Absolutely nasty experience!

Review: We ordered the buffet. We had a male server that was a real jerk. Dustin was this young man's name. The buffet price was 27$ a piece which was kinda pricey but it was ok. The server just ruined our meal. He just kept playing around the whole time we were there. It was just uncalled for. My husband and I couldn't finish our meal because of it. It was just rude.

Review: We had a great server. She was a local american. She had a strong southern ascent. Yet the others that worked in the restuarant weren't friendly at all. They were Russians or something. They didn't do anything but stand around and speak their own language. They were very rude even to our server. The young lady told us she was very sorry. When we went in to be seated, the girl seating us was dressed very, very provacative. It wasn't descent for my children to look at. We over heard the Russians talking about the americans there. They said they hated americans and they were all fat, and stupid. So WE will never go back here. We had been going here every summer. We won't anymore. They don't even appreicate getting a job here in America. They shouldn't be able to work here if they don't like us. I'm afraid they spit in my food. I told the manager about it, he didn't even care. He wasn't even American. Well he said he was born here, but he didn't even speak good English. It was terrible

Review: Went here once just after Labor Day weekend, and while we found it to be a good buffet with an excellent and huge selection of food, the prices were outrageous. Our bill came to well over $70 for two people, and we could have eaten the same quality and amount of food elsewhere for much less. We won't be back. It's a good restaurant, but it was more of a "tourist" experience for us, over priced and a bit underwhelming.

Review: Great food for the price! Not the best seafood I've ever had, but crablegs are on the buffet. You can't go many places and get all the crab legs you want for around $20. Great service also! We were seated within seconds of walking in and our waitor was wonderful. We didn't have to ask for anything. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Review: Best Calabash in the Grand Strand hands down! Huge selection and always fresh food with little wait time to be seated, even peak season. I moved away from the area several years ago, and its always one spot I have to eat every time im back in town!
