This is the best buffet in the world. I have never in my life seen anything like it. My wife and I loved it so much that I am on here telling you guys about. It is a must do when in town. Make sure you go to the right one though, I think there is another one in south Myrtle!

The food is great, the service is excellent, the cost is comparable to other seafood restaurants in the area, and the atmosphere is pleasant, not fishy-smelling like some of the other seafood restaurants that we visited. It was so good, that we ate there two of the four nights in town. It is definitely on our dining list when we return to Myrtle Beach.

We dine here each year on Vacation. Food is very good with a large selection. The best all-you-can-eat buffet that we have tried yet.

The dessert bar is great - love the Pumpkin Cheesecake.

Used a coupon saved a bundle of $$ will be back next year.

We absolutely love this restaurant!! The quality of the food is supreme and I have to say that it didn't seem too expensive for my family. We have a family of six and our bill only came up to $99, I think that is pretty cheap for such great food! It is an extreme necessity to visit this restaurant when you visit Myrtle Beach!

The buffet was excellent, but it was just a serve yourself meal. Beverages were served by a waitress very good. I considered my gratuity, tip, to be for a serve yourself buffet. My bill came to $96.51 plus a $5.00 tip for a total of $101.51. My waitress may have considered this to be entirely to low because my gratuity, tip, was altered to a total of $115.51. I am very suprised at a restaurant of this popularity / quality allowing something like this to happen.

This is the best place we ever ate. Awesome, my wife nearly fainted when we walked in when she saw the amount of food, lets just say my wife is very heavy, and when she walked in the owners cringed.

For a seafood buffet, Benjamins is the best in Myrtle Beach as far as quality. The quality of their food far surpasses the other Calabash seafood buffets offered in the area. They are a bit pricey but they accepted a competitors coupon which helped our group of 12. With the variety of food no one should ever leave hungry. We will definitely go back!

We come to Myrtle Beach every year and this restaurant is number one on our list. It is the best restaurant for seafood in Myrtle Beach. As a matter of fact, we are going to eat here twice this trip 2005 because it is so good. I think the price is very reasonable for the excellent quality of food that you receive.

This is probably the best seafood buffet at Myrtle Beach - we have been traveling here for years and have tried many. The atmosphere is super, the service is wonderful - the only downside is the price - it is very expensive for a buffet.
