The last two times we have eaten at Cap. Nance's we have been very disappointed! On both occasions we ordered and paid for dinner meals only to be served their smaller lunch size. When we questioned the size, they did replace our meal with the dinner size portion but were very rude about it. The waitress never came back to the table to check on us and we had to find her in order to get our check. We will not be retuning! ref: 12152

The food was terrible. The best meal was the sauted shrimp. The crab cakes were awful. The fried flounder poor. The fried scallops were edible. The staff was not knowledgeable about their food or where it came from. Very disappointing meal. Summer 2008.

We had alrage group from 4 generations of my family. We were seated quickly, great service and awesome food. The beverages were served quick enough that the little ones didn't get bored. I'll return over and over. This was at the busiest season of the year at dinner time.
The lunch menu is great and very reasonable. ref: 12046

This may have been the worst restaurant we've ever eaten in. The evening started with them telling us we would be seated within an hour. It actually took almost two to get our seats. The hush puppies were ok, but the waitress wouldn't refill our baskets at our request. The meals came out and most in our party ordered seafood, thinking that would be best at a seafood restaurant. The popcorn shrimp wasn't as good as long john silvers. The crabs were overcooked and you couldn't get them out. Water spewed from them each time you opened them. Two people who didn't want seafood ordered steaks. What a huge mistake! I would have to call it "mystery meat." it was the most awful meal we've had in myrtle. On the way out we saw cockroaches crawling around the place. I would stay far, far away from capt'n nances. Worst place ever!. ref: 11734

I have been eating at Calabash restaurants since before I can remember. For at least 15 years Capt. Nance's was the restaurant of choice. Not any more! I was never really impressed with the atmosphere. Sure the view of the docks are great if you're lucky enough to get a window side table. Otherwise, you're stuck in the middle of loud strangers and screaming children. Now about the food. The food is good and isn't overly priced, but sometimes it's served cold or "luke" warm, as kept under a heating lamp. There's a place 10 miles from my home that serves seafood that is priced the same and is just as fresh and better tasting, and I live 200 miles inland! Finally the service. Last, but so important. As a party of two, we were seated near the kitchen in the back left of the restaurant. We waited several minutes before we caught a waitresses' attention and asked for service. No one came, even to ask for drink orders. We waited longer and nothing happened. After about ten minutes sitting there I started timing. After 20 minutes waiting, there was still no service. I was with my mother who is approching 80 years of age and she asked me not to get upset. I agreed with her but I said after 30 minutes of no service, we're leaving. Well, you guessed it. Thirty minutes went by without a drink, a menu or a "hey, how are you". There are too many other good restaurants in Calabash to have to settle for this one. I won't be back! ref: 11133

My family eats here about 10 times a year. The lunch platter is a great deal (I get shrimp, clam strips, hush puppies & baked potato) for about $6. The food is typical "Calabash style" which most everyone loves. ref: 10438

Was not bad for the money. Normal place was closed, decided to try this place out. Had the fried plater, around $14.00, fried shrimp were good, as well as the hush puppies. The only questionable item were the 'boiled shrimp,' they could have been better. over all though a nice place. Also try Billy Bass Seafood, they were good too. ref: 10336

Not the best seafood we've had, but for the price it was OK. First basket of hushpuppies they brought were cold. Fried clams and crab cakes were bad, really bad! Fries oysters were very good as were the fried shrimp. All in all for the price it was fair, but as they say "you get what you pay for". Not a true or fair example of Calabash cooking. We won't go back, but you should make your own judgement if you don't mind average seafood cooking. ref: 9694

The food was excellent and the service was also ,the thing my family liked just as well was the smoke free atmosphere.Nothing is worse that enjoying an extremely good meal and having it destroyed by cigarette smoke.Thanks for being smoke free and will see you in the spring.

We went to Capt. Nance's for lunch special on a Sat. during off tourist season (9/29/07)....Our Mistake! We aways oder take-out. We ordered the lunch special but evidently "Special" means "just give them the worst we've got to offer". We ordered shrimp, fish and baked potato. We had to ask for tarter and cocktail sauce or we wouldn't have gotten either one. Our waitress said she would take care of us and make sure we'd get as much as we wanted. When we got back to our condo there was no baked potato or french fries and 1 little measily tarter sauce apiece. We even gave a 5.00 tip to our hostess since she seemed to go out of her way to "take care of us". The line to this place was out the door but when we got in we saw several empty tables. Maybe if we had ordered the regular platters at the high prices we would have gotten better service and food but I think if they offer "specials" , it should be "special". ref: 8961

Bathrooms smelled like dead animals, and bathrooms are in the middle of the restaurant. The goofy looking cooks sitting in the dining area, very unprofessional. When we had bones in the fish, the waitress said, "Some fish have bones ---some don't" Total trash, bad experience....I can still smell the bathroom. ref: 8786

Visited Capt Nance's for lunch on our recent trip to Myrtle Beach. Husband and I both thought it was good. He had fried scallops and shrimp and I had broiled flounder and shrimp. Plenty of food for lunch, even had enough left to take out. Service was pretty good, food came quickly, but it was hard to get the waitress to return when we needed something else. Overall, we liked it and will return. Food was good and so's the view of the dock. ref: 8160

Our party of 8 enjoyed a wonderful fathers day meal at Capt. Nance. We were warmly greated and provided with timely and friendly service. The total amount of the bill did not leave a hole in my pocket, so that is always a nice thing. That was last year. This year my mom joined us at Capt Nance for dinner and we had a blast. It has become our tradition to bring each family member to Capt. Nance when they come to visit down south. Oh, we have had their, fish, shrimp(fried and grilled), fries, baked potatoe, salad, chopped steak, ice tea and hushpuppies. You won't leave hungry. ref: 6407

I have been going to captain nances, since 1981, the quality of the food is great, service can be on the low side sometimes, but thats when you don't leave a tip. The boiled shrimp, is just pure heaven, the deviled crab, is out of this world. People who don't like the seafood, in my way of thinking are just plan weird. I will continue to go there, and bring all my friends.. ref: 6303

We enjoyed our food at Captain Nance's. The view was lovely and the prices were very reasonable. We went twice for lunch, which was $5.75 for our choice of two items, hushpuppies, and delicious coleslaw.
The service was fast and adequate. (The waitresses had to ask who ordered what) Not much atmosphere other than the view. Everyone is seated in one big room. If you want a quick, good lunch, this the place to go. I would leave dinner for a little more atmosphere. Kids would like it. I would recommend the shrimp - crunchy and fresh. ref: 4932

My husband and I drove up to Calabash from North Myrtle Beach to get a "really good" seafood lunch. We stopped at Capt Nance because there were more cars than at any other restaurant we had passed. We had the lunch special with clam chowder. The chowder was very good. My husband had flounder and I had shrimp and flounder. The flounder was sooo over cooked that it was tough-could hardly cut into it. The shrimp was average. We were really disappointed and regretted that we didn't continue to ride and look for other restaurants. ref: 4336

My cousin had bulit Calabash up so much that I knew it probably didn't taste good. Was I ever wrong, The food was perfect, service even better. Plus it didn't bother me when my bill came and it was a little over fourteen dollars. Money well spent.the food was wonderful,the best shrimp I've ever ate. I plan on dining there again over thanksgiving break. where I am from West Virginia I only get to enjoy the wonderful Capt.Nance's twice a year. So those of you who get to enjoy yearly, you're lucky. ref: 4315

I was a little disappointed honestly after reading the reviews here in the quality of food. For a restaurant that is well known for fresh food, the only thing I really appreciated the taste of was the shrimp. It was done well in a light batter. The flounder was too dry and I only took one bite of the crab cake. I think the restaurant is nice and a good deal, but I can get this quality back at home. ref: 2666

This place has the best fried scallops and boiled shrimp I've ever tasted. When the shrimp came to the table with a combo platter, I thought they must be kidding, but once I tasted them, I passed some around to the family and everyone agreed they were the best. The atmosphere is so-so but most of the places on the water there aren't any different. Sort of noisy but the food makes up for it. We can't wait to go back. ref: 2077

I've always liked this place due to the seafood (it's ground zero for fried seafood), and visit frequently from Wilmington with my family. However, they recently took it up a couple of notches--they made the entire joint NON-SMOKING! How great is that? Especially in the middle of the smoking-belt of the south. It was a bold yet highly appreciated move. Other restaurants in the area lost our business because the ENTIRE joint was smoking. Cap'n Nance gets my business everytime. As well as the many friends and family I can drag through there. We all love it. ref: 1817

Ate there on 8-18-2005, nice menu I had crab cakes she had the salmon---all very fresh tasting--not to bad on the prices, Interesting we got there at 1;15 pm on a Thursday and they were still very busy an hour later when we left. What this means is that this place has good food. PS Buy some fresh shrimp from the boats close by that just came in. Yes Man. ref: 1173
