We have been visiting Myrtle Beach every year since I was a small child. We always visit Coleman's 3 times during the week we are there. This is the best seafood I have ever eaten and, I have been raised on seafood all of my life. They heap the seafood up on your platter rather than french fries. I have never had even close to a complaint about anything at this restaurant. I will continue to dine there every time I am visiting Myrtle Beach. ref: 1949 |

We'd heard about Calabash seafood for years and decided to try it New Years afternoon. We're seafood lovers and know great seafood when we get it. Having read the reviews, we chose Colemans. It's a sad & drab place, long past its prime. The view didn't redeem it as windows were smudged and dirty. Those hush puppies are OK but that "honey butter" is strictly commercial in a little sealed plastic container, one per diner. A ~$5.00~ soft shell crab side dish (one crab) was thick with batter, greasy and way overcooked. The famous Calabash Shrimp (so our server told us) were POPCORN shrimp, like at Popeyes. Those are tiny little things so we ordered the more expensive "Fantail" along with oysters for our combo. The fantail shrimp were small, average taste, overcooked, a bit rubbery, and not fantailed. The oysters were good but a small serving of cole slaw in a styrofoam dish was dull and tasteless. The beer & wine selection is very limited (Bud, Bud Lite, Miller, Miller Lite, no draft beer at all) and my beer was cool, not cold. Our server was very nice, the table next to us wasn't so lucky and they seemed to be very frustrated at their long wait...arriving about when we did they were finally served as we were leaving. The only thing that wasn't average was the price...over $50.00 for 2 before a tip. Your server can't take your money/plastic and you have to stand in line at a cash register to exit. I can't imagine why we'd return there. ref: 1819 |

THE BEST calabash dining at the beach! This is Myrtle Beach's best kept secret. Seafood is LIGHTLY breaded before it is cooked so you still can taste the great seafood flavor. I highly reccommend the shrimp. ref: 1307 |

Over-priced and not very good food. Seems to have the view of the river as the only thing going for it. ref: 710 |

You want *real* Calabash food, heaped up in Calabash style? You want the original restaurant that was so good it made Jimmy Durante make the town a world-wide name? This is it - the home of the late Ella Coleman, the "Mrs Calabash - wherever you are." Well, she was here, and the food and friendly service is still worth telling the world about. ref: 382 |
