The very best "seafood buffet" type restaurant in Myrtle Beach proper. It's a little pricey but the buffet contains many items not on other menus. Huge variety of items. This large restaurant is easy to get into..I've never had to wait in a line and this reflects the size of the establishment. Quality of food is excellent.

My husband and I ate at Captain George's with my family on an October 2006 trip to Myrtle Beach. I am not a seafood buffet fan myself because usually everything tastes the same and is fried. Captain George's was a definite exception to the rule. Most of the foods were not fried and each had a deliciously distinct and fresh taste. The Mahi Mahi was outstanding. Their crab legs were some of the best I've ever tasted. The floors were not slippery at all, another fault of ten with seafood buffets. The atmosphere was casual but elegant. We are planning a trip this year as well and my husband says he would drive down to MB just to eat at Captain George's. We cannot wait!

I like to start by saying I am a huge seafood fan, my wife on the other side is new to it. We were seated very quickly and found the atmosphere very comfortable. The food was very good except that the salad bar was quite old and not very edible. Other than that the other food was full fresh and very inviting. My wife enjoyed trying all the varieties just as much as i did. If the salad bar had been better it would have been a five star. Would definitely still go back for the seafood.

We went to this restarurant with a party of 16. We were seated right away and the service was pretty good. The crab legs however were not as good as the service. We usually go to Benjamins Calabash on our first night here but thought we would try someplace new. What a mistake. The crab leggs were terrible and one person in our party ended up getting sick later that night from something that he ate (we think it was the fried clams). The price was way too high for the quality of food ($72 for two adults). I guess we'll be going back to trusty Benjamins Calabash for now on.

In reading the other reviews, either we went on a very bad night or I'm a complete snob. My husband and I were seated immediately, right next to a party of 10. The entire section was otherwise empty. I started to worry at that point, and it went down hill form there. Crab legs were like rubber, fried clams were like pieces of plastic, broccoli tasted funny, potatoes were overcooked and cold, pork was so overcooked I gave up when I tried to stick a fork in it. Three of the staff almost ran into, too busy with what they were doing to notice the customers. I even heard a woman at another table complain. To give credit where it was due, our waiter was very nice, the building was nice, and the olny thingI enjoyed were the rolls. They were the only item I food I found to be very good. For $25 a plate, you would alos expect to have a carving bar. Instead, you get prime ribs scraps in a tray. We all have opinions, but if 5 or 6 are bad, it would be a good idea to choose another place.

I do not eat seafood, my husband does. I promised him an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet during our vacation to Myrtle Beach and I dreaded it. However, Captain George's was definitely a great choice. It does not smell like seafood, the atmosphere is pleasant and the buffets are made to look like sailboats! The buffet is $26 and my husband loved everything on his plates. After the waitress warned me that Captain George's is "not known for its steaks", I opted for the Vegetable Platter ($12.95) and was very satisfied. I would definitely go again.

We were shocked when we saw the price of the meal, for 2 adults, 2 children and 1 child under 5 our meal came to $102 dollars! To make things worse, the food on the bar was cold and was not kept stocked, there were not many customers there because it was the off season so they basically paid no attention to how the food was on the buffet. I would never go back again..

First time eating in this restaurant. The food was excellent all food on buffet was hot and fresh. Buffet was very clean and well kept as they had someone cleaning all the time. Service was very poor considering what we paid for this meal and the day and time we were there. We were there on a Saturday evening around 6:30 . Our server was a young man named Matt he did not seem to be concerned with our needs. We had to ask for drink and coffee refills everytime and when we did get coffee we had to catch him again to ask for creamer each time. This was not what we expected for the price we paid for this buffet. But the food was worth the money. I would recomended it because in my opinion from what I saw some of the other servers seemed to be very concerned with the customers needs.

I grew up in Florida and know good fresh seafood....this was not great and the value was not there for me. To make matters worse I paid with a credit card and they changed my total after I left. They added over $10 to my tip for my party of 3. I'm sorry but when a waiter asks to just put a pitcher of water on the table because we emptied our glasses one time does not deserve a huge tip. We will never return.

I went to this restuarant for the 1st time last year at the recommendation of a friend and was not disappointed. Went there last week and the quality was just not as good. Most of the food was only lukewarm. We verbalized this to the waiter, and the manager came out almost immediately and apologized....said if we let him know what we wanted he would bring it hot to our table. Nice service, but they shouldn't have to do that. Very well-stocked buffet, good food, clean, and excellent wait-staff. Just would be nice for the food to be hot.

I would rate Capt George's as the best on the grand strand. The General Manager is the best and he insists that his staff performs the same way. The food is always plentiful and tasteful. I don't go to Myrtle Beach without visiting and I go at least six time a year.

My family found the restaurant to be a big dissapointment. A place like Captains George's, you would think would have some seafood. There was some tiny fried breaded scallops, some dried up broiled flounder, mushy baked salmon, tasteless shrimp, and old baked oysters. There were crab legs which we found to be the only thing we could say that we were o.k. with, but overall they were average. The food was luke warm at the buffet, some cold. The dessert bar we found to be o.k., the only thing worth the try was the cheese cake, cherry cobbler, and the orange fruit slices. For the price, it was ridiculous. If you are a vegetarian, you would like this restaurant. Plenty of vegetable items. Alot of none seafood items, I guess to fill the space of having hardly any seafood. We will never visit this restaurant again. We ended up at Taco Bell, only two hours later.

This was the second year we went to Captain George's. Last year we were very impressed with the place and thought the food was fantastic.

This year we were a bit disappointed. The food was not nearly as good as last year. We missed the large broiled scallops this year. They only had fried bay scallops.

My son and husband did not think the crablegs were as good either. The desserts were very good. The room we ate in was very noisy. It was the huge room to the right when you walked in. We will not be going back next year.

This was my first vist to Captain George's and it was very good. There was 12 in our party 6 kids 6 adults and everyone enjoyed it. The quality of the food served was very good and the service was good. Decor was nicely done. This was the third Seafood buffet that I have been to in four trips to Myrtle Beach and by far the best. So when ever I want a buffet it will be Captain George's.

This restaurant is the best seafood restaurant ever...

We visited two years ago and again last week. The manager(Matt) remembered the my wife was pregnant the last time we visited.He was very happy to see our little girl. I LOVE this place!

We ate at other seafood places in the area. The food quality and service is not even close. Captain George's is the only place we will eat seafood in Myrtle Beach!!

I've been here twice before and I've posted on this site. Both times it was excellent, I guess the third time is a charm. We walked in after 8 PM on a Thursday evening. That was our first mistake. It was clear when we approached the buffet that they were done bringing out fresh food. Though we were one of the last groups to enter fo the evening, there was still a good crowd in the area. Most of the food was dry and had been sitting, the only fresh thing I saw come out was were stuffed mushrooms which I can get anywhere. Even the acclaimed dessert bar was picked over. I sensed it wouldn't be good because of the timing, now I know. Still, they shouldn't charge $25 after 8PM if that's the case. It was worth 5 dollars if. I should of said something but that's not me, I have class and instead will verbalize it. I will not return as there are so many other places. If u want real seafood go to a place that's small, homey and off the beaten path. Anything that says oyster/raw bar is good and there are plenty. Don't be afraid of the title, most of these places have a full menu and bar. I felt so bad I payed for everyone. The one good thing, it's by far the cleanest buffet on the strand and the services was so so, but even it's been better!

Ive read over the comments because I wanted to hear what people are saying about this restaurant. Some people complained the crab legs are to salty but Capt Georges doesnt salt them, they come from salt water and the deeper they come from make them salty. The people who complained about Capt Georges changing the credit card tip amounts are absolutely stupid. Your credit card company holds 20 percent extra of the bill, because most people tip around that amount, after 2 or 3 business days it will go away, so instead of choosing a new restaurant or callling them frauds, you should look into getting a new credit card company. And the timeshare people. Yes they can be annoying but they buy hundreds of thousands of dollars in gift certificates so you will continue to see them. Just tell them you're not interested and will not be persuaded. However they do offer money to come out to see their sites and you do really get the money, so whatever amount they offer you will get, the more you hold out the more money they will offer, i think up to like 90 or 100 bucks per couple. Hopefully everyone will have a great visit next time you visit one of the Capt Georges but if not just give them another chance.

I visited Williamsburg, Va., a few years back and were recommended to Capt. George's. We were very impressed, great food and great value. I travelled to Myrtle Beach several years ago and stumbled upon a Capt. George's. What a great surprise! I talked my golf party of TWENTY into going there (I was the newst member of the group) and they absolutely LOVED it! We have made it a staple of our annual trips and I am looking forward to dining there again in only three weeks! You must go every time you travel to Myrtle Beach!!!

I should get a bonus check from Captain Georges. Everyone I know that is going to visit Myrtle Beach I tell them not to miss this restuarant. After they get back they all agree. The best food at the beach. Service with a smile and best bargain. I never miss a chance to eat the best crablegs around. i could go on and on. But, you get the idea. Bill West deptford , N.J.

We visited the restaurant today for lunch with two friends. The restaurant opened at noon and we were there for 12.30. It was populated sparsely. The range of dishes was excellent but the food had been cooked many hours previously and, perhaps, even re-heated from the previous day. It was not cold but too cool to enjoy. The price of some $25 per person we found extortionate and we would not have stayed had we not had a coupon for $50. Even so, it cost another $60. Perhaps we went on a bad day but that never should be the case. We will not go back. Peter Dewsnap, Conway, SC.

We love the food, and it was excellent! We have a problem with their credibility. We called them ahead of time, from Ohio, and specifically asked if they were going to be open for Christmas day. We were told yes, absolutely. They also informed another person who lives in Myrtle beach, (and they asked on the 20th of Dec) that they were going to be open. Two lies, to two different people. We called because that is where we looked forward to going the most, and were So very disappointed to find they were closed for Christmas Eve AND christmas day! Very poor public relationship.

Captain George's Seafood Restaurant is an excellent place to eat and enjoy seafood. The food setup is awesome. The only complaint I have is that Captain George's doesn't serve oysters, and I love oysters!

Captain George's Seafood Restaurant is by far the best seafood place in Myrtle Beach. My family and I eat there at least twice a month.

Tomorrow night approximately twelve of us will dine in for another great dinner. Do you have any available coupons that we can get?

Thank you, for a great comfortable atmosphere!
Sincerely,

Update: On a return visit to Captain George's on our last evening in Myrtle Beach this year, we found the food was still quite good, and the other ratings remained the same, except for the noise level, which was somewhat lower. They seated us in the upper level area, a bit farther from the buffet, but only by a few steps.

The crab legs were still a bit salty, which may have been the reason they appeared a bit more dry than some other restaurants offer. Grabbing the legs in the middle of the stack (not in the water on the bottom of the pan, and not on top) helped to moderately alleviate this problem.

The other seafood was very good, and the other items were quite unremarkable (I never try the pasta at these places - I prefer real Italian food in a real Italian restaurant. or home-cooked). The desserts were also very good.

As for the timeshare hucksters, there were two of them as we left after dinner. One started to offer $75.; we continued walking out and completely ignored them. Had he persisted, I would have deployed the method of response that I espoused here a few evenings ago ;). This was not necessary as my lovely and gracious wife and I jumped into the Jeep and headed out.

OK... here's the deal. The food there is excellent, as it has been during every visit we have made there.

We were just there last evening and will go back before we leave for home.

The service is excellent, and the waiting time was very short (get there at 4 PM and bring the coupon!).

About the timeshare sales, people need to just ignore them, similar to when you receive a telemarketing phone call - just hang up (unless you really need somebody to talk with). The timeshare woman approached us last evening, asking how long we were staying in MB; I told her we were leaving tomorrow and promptly walked away. Had she persisted, I would have grabbed my inner thigh with my right hand and told her, "I got yer timeshare right here..... share this!" Hey, maybe if everybody did this to those peeps, we could start the Captain George's Anti-Timeshare Movement. OK, everybody.... right hand on right inner thigh (left hand on left side for those of you southpaws)... let's git 'er done......

My husband and I had visited Captain George's in Williamsburg, VA. and looked forward when we could eat there again. This past week-end we were in Myrtle Beach and ate at Captain George's. Our bill was $58.01 which I put on my debit card. My husband left a $10 tip on the table, when I checked my bank statement, they had added an additional $11.00 charge to my debit card. Needless to see I am not a happy camper ! I'm not sure this is even legal, but I plan to find out !

We go to Myrtle Beach several times a year and eat at both buffetts and full service restaurants. My wife had been trying to get me to try Captain George's so we did in Sept. 2005 (I had dragged my feed due to the high cost).

The food was good, no crowd. I paid with a credit card, but found out when the bill arrived today that either the server or the restaurant raised our tip amount by $2.00. We normally tip 10-12% for buffets, where all the server does is bring water and the bill, 15-20% for full service (our bill was $47, I tipped $5.00). I was highly insulted that someone woud do that in a restaurant that big. We will never go back. There are too many other honest restaurants in Myrtle to choose from.

I ate at this restaurant three years ago and it was excellent.

However, my visit this time was horrible. I felt like I was robbed since my husband and I paid over $60 for food that was not even warm. Everything on my husband's plate was cold. We felt that the manager should have given us a discount or something - instead he gave the excuse that the temperature in the restaurant was just cold.

The previous night we ate at a restaurant that was freezing and my food was piping hot.

We paid less than $40 for dinners at other restaurants the other two nights we were in Myrtle Beach and those meals were excellent.

We have decided to never eat at this restaurant again - even if someone else paid for the meal.

My husband I just returned from Myrtle Beach today. We travel there once a year. We have visited Captain George's there many times over the last few years.

Last time there, my daughter got sick and we assumed that she ate too much "rich" food.

This year we saved this restaurant for last and we are sooo disappointed. We ate there last evening, 9/23/2005.

The crab legs were awful and the scallops were very over done. The shrimp were mushy and had NO flavor at all.

A table beside us complained and they were brought out fresh crab legs and they were just as bad and really had a BAD odor.

I have eaten at many of the buffets in Myrtle Beach and highly recommend that you skip this one!!!

I know that was my last visit.

We decided to eat at Captain George's after all of the great reviews with high expectations. The restaurant was very nice and clean and the employees were friendly. Now here comes the shock: the food was awful. The crab legs were very dry; the meat once cracked would not slide out of the shell, and what we did eat just didn't taste good. We even waited for them to put out another batch but they were all the same. There was a large selection of food, but it was not good. Everything tasted bland. Thought we would hit the dessert bar but it was equally bad although the cheesecake was good. With a party of five everybody agreed this would be our first and LAST visit.

The food was great, the service was excellent, but I will not return. Why? When "trying " to leave this restaurant we were "held up" by an overzellous time share lady. If they want to post a sign about timeshares I have no problem but when you are "kidnapped" this is overkill. This restaurant had better review if they are in the restaurant business or the real estate business. What a great way to destroy a fabulous meal. Look what happened to the Waccama mall when they pursused the same type of eager "timeshare bullies." Bill

This was me & my mom's 1st time at Captain George's & I have to say that it was the most enjoyable time that we both have had at a restaurant in a long time. The buffet had every kind of seafood you could think of & the desserts we superb. Our waiter was excellent, we never had to ask for a thing he was always right there with extra napkins for all the crablegs we had !!! Always a full glass of tea. We plan to go back there again next year.

Great Food!!! Previously a buffet snob, the quality of this food is much better than some of those so called "upscale" dinning experiences. Everything was cooked just right, the stuffed mushrooms were out of this world just to name one item. Also, there isn't a lot of filler on the buffet it's almost all seafood, and you feel like you got what you came for. However there are other things too, definetly something for everyone, even those that can't eat seafood. This restaurant is clean and pretty inside too! Friendly service, we highly recommend!!!

I have visited the Captain George's in Virginia Beach and the experience was absolutely awesome with exception of the wait. I expected the buffet to be the same as the first experience but was a bit dissappointed. There were no prime rib steak, gobs & gobs of fruit, any type of seafood known of and the side bar was not enormous.For the money it should be a larger variety of foods. We had to ask for a server after sitting for about 20 minutes, but after recieving her...the service was great.

I have been traveling to SC annually for years and have never been to a buffet in Myrtle Beach with such quality as Capt. George's. I absolutely love this place!!!! I didn't want to eat anywhere else during my stay. The price is well worth the it. The service is outstanding and the variety of food is like none other in Myrtle Beach. No matter what time we went, we never had to wait. This is definitely not your average buffet style restaurant. I can't wait to go back there again.

Without a doubt the best buffet in Myrtle Beach! Very clean and friendly w/a mammoth and diverse variety of seafood. This place has the best fried scallops anywhere! The building and layout itself is impressive w/a huge dining area. Capt. Georges also has the largest dessert bar of any buffet I've seen. A little pricey but this place definitely separates itself from the rest. I return there atleast one time a trip when I'm in the area ( 5 times that I can remember) and I still haven't sampled everything.

I kept driving by wondering if I should take the turnoff and sample this great looking eatery. It was well worth it. Cleanest and friendliest restuarant if not buffet on the Beach. If you think prices are high then you almost never visit other resorts in North America. Well worth the slightly higher than average MB prices. But , remember you are getting quality , even better than most sit down restaurants.

Capt. George's is the best place to eat in Myrtle Beach! We ate there the first night in town and wished we had gone back the other nights. None of the other seafood buffets match the quality of food, service and cleanliness that you get at Capt. George's. It's also a kid friendly place. Our daughter was five when we went and she wanted to go back to Capt. George's each night. She liked the food and they also had a clown walking around making balloon animals for a $1 tip. They made my child happy therefore they made me happy. Some may think the price is high...eat there before you decide that it's too high. Once you compare it to the other seafood buffets in town, you will realize it is well worth the money.

This place is absolutely fantastic. If you love seafood as much as I do, and you're going to be in the area, you can't afford to miss this opportunity. The food is fantastic and even the hungriest person could never sample all of the wonderful choices. The service is beyond anything I've ever seen in even the fanciest sit down restaurants. We always leave saying that we wish everywhere we ate had such wonderful servers. The restaurant is a little pricey, but not considering all that you get in return. We priced a number of buffets near the ocean and they weren't even close to the same quality and were only a little bit less expensive. Definitely try it!!!

a little pricey, but it's not your normal seafood buffet either...this place is very nice inside, very clean, and the food layout is great. It's an awesome place if you like crablegs, mussels, etc., because they have the shellfish bar seperate from the regular items, and the crab legs are the best I've ever eaten anywhere. If you can afford to splurge a little, it's well worth it.
