Review: Having read the reviews, we elected to try this restaurant and form our own opinion. First the atmosphere was great and the staff the friendliest we've seen anywhere. Second, this place was very clean which is not the case everywhere. Third, the food was superb!! The flounder and shrimp was prepared the way it should be; light in batter, moist, and great taste. The crab cake was the best we've ever eaten and that covers from coast to coast. The hushpuppies were outstanding!! And not that we needed it, but the 7-layer chocolate cake was oustanding so don't pass this up even if you have to take it home. We've tried seafood restaurants from Murrels Inlet to Calabash for 30 plus years, and this will become a regular for us. No local or visitor should pass this place up. It's worth the stop!!!

Review: My wife and I had a meal here one evening on the way to Myrtle Beach. Overall everything was good. The dining area is a little small with only approx. 14 tables. We were seated within two minutes. The noise level was not bad compared to other restaurants in the area. The staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome. I would reccomend this restaurant to my friends. It was a positive experience and a great start to our vacation.

Review: Visiting from Durham, NC we were in search of some good, fulfilling food. Billy Bass was recommended and was so good, we went back twice the same day. The hushpuppies with honey-cinnamon butter was delicious. The rest of our meals were fresh and seasoned to perfection. We ate shrimp salad, steak, sauteed shrimp, flounder, deviled crab and was not disappointed at all. Highly recommend for lunch or dinner. Excellent homemade dessert as well.

Review: My wife and I usually drive down to Calabash at least once every two months for seafood. I love good thick fried flounder with lots of white meat. My wife and I both love fried shrimp We used to go to Beck's at the corner in Calabash because of the good food and hush puppies. They changed management a few years ago, and it seemed the recipe on the hush puppies and slaw were changed. I went down with a golfing buddy a couple of years ago, and we decided to try Billy Bass Seafood. It was all I could ask for. Good Flounder, Shrimp, and Hush Puppies. I carried my wife back a few weeks later, and we are both totally satisified. Good fish, shrimp, french fries, baked potatos, hush puppies, slaw . You cannot ask for better food. This is now our regular stop when we are in the beach area. I recommend Billy Bass Seafood to all my friends, and anyone else that loves good fried flounder and shrimp.

Review: We were staying at a friend's house in Sunset Beach and they had recommended Billy Bass before we came down. We went for the lunch special and glad we did. The hushpuppies and honey butter are excellent. So were the flounder, shrimp, and clam strips. We enjoyed it so much that we went back to Billy Bass a second time. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Don't miss the hidden gem on River Rd. If you drive by and hit the dock, turn around pop into Billy Bass instead.

Review: The food is excellent! Hushpuppies with cinnamon butter that you can't get enough of, Calabash-style seafood (perfectly prepared - just enough breading to crisp it - we always have their shrimp and their flounder), and coleslaw made from their own recipe - yum! Linda, the EXCELLENT cook, and Pat, who meets the customers with a cheery smile and a down-home welcome are jewels! Lee and the rest of the staff is always friendly, as well. Your food is prepared for you after you place your order, and is on your table in minutes. Prices are excellent for this quality of food! The atmosphere is far superior to what it was under earlier management - when there was a gruffness about the manager that "put off" a lot of customers. You have to really be looking to find this little jewel on the River Road in Calabash. If you're not careful, you'll drive right by - and miss some of the best seafood you ever had!

Review: We went to Billy Bass because the line at our favorite Calabash seafood restaurant (Ella's) was too long for our party of 6. We had family down from VA and they had a taste for crab. The meal started wonderfully with really good hushpuppies and cinnamon butter. But that turned out to be the highlight. Several of us purchased the 'all you can eat crab legs' and were very disappointed. The legs were very 'soggy' and had obviously been cooked earlier and then just left to soak until they were warmed up for an order. If you go - don't go for the crabs.

Review: We've been to a few resturants in Calabash and the Myrtle Beach area over the past 6 or so years and have driven past Billy Bass's many times .. won't do that anymore ! The staff is so friendly, the food good, the place is very clean and it's not crowded. It a non-smoking resturant too !!

They have Michelobe too.

We ate there about 4 or 5 times in March 2006, had our food broiled and really enjoyed it. We'll be back again...can hardly wait.

Review: We have a rental home on Sunset Beach and have been eating in Calabash for many years. Out favorite restaurant is Billy Bass, and we have tried them all. There is no wait, the food is always hot, and good and the service great. It is a smaller restaurant but the food is the best in our humble opinion. Give it a try at least. Hickory, NC

Review: One day I decided that i would go out to Calabash to have some of that world famous seafood. So there I was waiting in line at one of the waterfront resturants. The only problem about that is the fact that the wait was going to be at the least one hour. Everywhere I went there were extremely long waits, and I was starving. Then I saw Billy Bass Seafood, and I had never been there before so I thought I would give it a try. When I walked in this place became entirely appealing due to the fact that there was no wait. I was greeted with a big smile that made me feel welcome. But the best part was the food, it was amazing, and I give it an A+. There is no doubt that will be back to eat at this lovely resturant. I advise everyone that want's to fine dine to eat here.

Review: I must tell you that I have been going to Calabash for seafood since I was a little girl. For some reason, I have never been to Billy Bass' until this past summer. This is a wonderful place. The food was wonderful, everyone was so friendly, made you feel like you were part of the family. I highly recommend this place !! I can't wait to go back !
