I was shocked by the poor reviews of the Giant Crab. My family and I ate there twice during our stay in the Myrtle Beach area. We loved it both times. The food was excellent, I didn't think anything was heavily breaded at the time we ate there. The crab legs were hot, fresh, and plentiful. We used coupons and, although I don't remember the exact price, I do recall that it was less than most of the other places we dined. I can't wait to go back on our next vacation. The desserts alone were worth the price. They are to die for! My kids got plenty to eat from the children's buffet area, as well. It was refilled constantly. We chose to have our dinner on the early side, around 5:00, so that may have made a difference. My only complaint would be the condo solicitors in the parking lot that tried to hook us into a condo tour. I don't think the Giant Crab should allow that, but we blew them off and kept walking. ref: 1298

My boyfriend and I ate there on our last night in Myrtle Beach. We recommend this place highly. The buffet was unbelievable and the crab legs were in plenty, My boyfriend was into oysters although he didn't like those as much, he certainly enjoyed everything else and was able to even get a Pittsburgh Beer on draft. The atmosphere was great, and the wait staff was wonderful, we had such great service I had too many sweet teas on my table. We used a coupon and it was the same price as the smaller and less appetizing Calabash seafood place. You get more for your buck at the Giant Crab! ref: 1269

No prices posted. There was not 120 items as advertised on the internet. They advertise pork chops, cakes, etc which were not there. We were seated immediately with no prices posted anywhere. The waitress brought one refill on our pop. We were never asked about the food or checked on. $21.95 was the biggest ripoff and I think they should have to post it somewhere. The atmosphere was not great either. I couldn't even say the salad dressings were outstanding. There is nothing memorable about this place but an $85 bill with soft drinks only and nothing outstanding to eat. Worst buffet we ever went to. Beware!! ref: 1239

The food was delicious. There was so much to pick from. I am handicapped and the people there were so nice helping me to my table. I came with a tour group out of Louisville, KY and everyone was talking about how good the food was and the service was great. ref: 1161

We ate there last year. My parents and I had really great drinks but that was about it. The Food was horrible. So full of breading and so lacking individual taste. I will never eat there again. I am from Maryland and I grew up on seafood and let me tell you that whatever was being served there at the giant crab was NOT seafood. I recommend someplace that is a seafood buffet and not A SEAFOOD FLAVORED BREAD BUFFET! Spare yourselves from the epitome of bad food. ref: 1102

The food here - mediocre at best - it IS a huge buffet so I dont expect huge varied portions to be churned out with great attention - but there was a brackish blandness to everything. It is quite a zoo - lots of disorganized foot traffic to and from the buffet - expect to hear a few collisions and dropping plates of food while you are there. The crab legs are rather sad - soggy on restock - difficult to manage - you shouldnt have to peel them. The stack of clean plates by the buffet often had unidentifiable globs on them. Expect a solid reaming for this divine experience as well - we fed 6 adults who had reactions of dissapointment to mediocre acceptance for $160 - soft drinks only. You'd serve yourself far better elsewhere.

My husband and I wanted to eat seafood for our last night in Myrtle Beach. We thought going to a seafood buffet was a good idea. The food was average but not worth the price. Our total bill was $56.87 for two people at a buffet. Buffets usually provide values for meals but not here.We asked the hostess if the prices for the buffet were visible anywhere. She got defensive and stated that they don't have to display how much it costs, it isn't in their policy to say how much it costs, and you have to ask to find out. It's a clever scam. We will never go back to this establishment again. ref: 936

We just got back from vacation and I have a story for all of my friends here at home. We went to the Giant Crab and were totally ripped off. My kids hated it and I was furious when i got the bill. I called the manager but it did not do any good. I just wish I had read these reviews before we ate there. I was tempted to stand outside and warn everyone... Don't eat there!!!!!!!!!!!!! ref: 876

My 5 yr. old, who had only a hotdog, cost $10.95 for the kid's buffet. There is supposed to be a "kid-friendly" buffet area, but the food there was not being replenished, as was the adult area. If you do not like seafood, there was a wonderful pasta bar, with a chef to cook it to your liking. ref: 843

We had dinner here in November, very expensive for what you get. The food was cold and bad. Don't waste your money or time. ref: 766

This is one of the finest restraunts I have been to. The price is actually $22 and not $28. You definitely get more for your money and they also have many coupons that are available. The service is excellent and I would love to come back again. ref: 760

We ate here last summer, and were very disappointed. The price was $28 per person, and there was hardly any food on the buffet. Our drinks were watered down and there were far too few waitstaff to go around. Beware of this place! ref: 745

This is another in the long line of buffet restaurants in Myrtle Beach. The food is average, the service is average and the price is a bit high. Nothing about it makes it particularily stand out - good or bad. ref: 524
