The food was great, but expensive. One thing you need to know up front - THE CRAB LEGS COST EXTRA! We were okay with the $17.95 for the adult buffet, but they charge an extra $9.95 for the crab legs, which is what we wanted in the first place. For two adults, a 10-year-old, and a 7-year-old, our bill with tip was $95, and that's with the 10% coupon from the monster book. The fried shrimp on the buffet was delicious and the salad bar was wonderful, but I couldn't get past the fact that the crab legs made this a VERY expensive meal. Had we known that the crab legs were extra, we would have chosen a different seafood buffet where the crab legs are part of the regular buffet. Long story short: if you don't want crab legs this is a wonderful buffet - good food, good service - but if you want a seafood buffet that includes crab legs, go somewhere else. The crab legs were great, but overall the meal was not a great value for the money. We had 5 dinners on our vacation and I would rank this one 4th overall. ref: 7434

Lots of large tables for large parties (we had 8 adults and 7 kids in our party). The kids buffet was kind of overpriced, but $18 per adult was not bad for what they had to offer. Seafood was good, and tasted fresh, but the other meats they had to offer were somewhat dry. Servers were very friendly and attentive, and they kept the buffet well stocked. Overall, a pretty good experience.. ref: 6793

All I have to say, is that it was the best place I have ever eaten at in a long time and can't wait to come back again this year and have just as much of a good time as I did last year. So, keep up the great work Preston's!!! your food is over the top!! ref: 6412

Last year my whole family went to the beach for a week and we ate at at Preston's. It was the best place we had ate at the entire week. Everything was just like it should have been and I personaly think it was the best restaraunt I have ever eaten at. So, if you need a place to dine at, you should come to Preston's. I promise you will not regret it. my family and I are coming back this year and I can't wait! ref: 6403

My husband and I and my children of 5 from ages 17 to 11 really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The veggies were seansoned just right and the seafood was hot and plentiful. There was something for everyone. That was in June 2006 and we're going back again this year 2007. We can't wait! Keep up the good work Preston's. ref: 6310

I was very disappointed upon seeing the buffet. The salad bar that they had bragged about in their ads was far from impressive. The seafood that should be fresh is the same products I sale my customers in VA and WV. I am in food sales so I know good quality food. They Do have a lot to offer, but you can go to Ryans for less and get a better meal. The service was good and everyhting was clean, but i wouldn't eat there again, nor would I recommend it to anyone!! ref: 6223

With the outrigger now closed, we chose this one by default. Very bad mistake. My wife wanted crabs legs which is why we stayed. They were warm from the kitchen but with very little meat and just fair. I wanted lobster and it was not on the menu. I should have stopped with my water. The buffet was terrible and I was afraid of getting sick later. The bill for two without drinks was over $50.00. Do not go here. K&w cafeteria was much better overall. My wife said she gets better crabs legs at our local chinese buffet. Enough said , you have been warned. We were never asked how our meal was or if we needed something else.. ref: 6058

VERY expensive. I believe for my husband and I, it was about $50. I guess maybe I expect a buffet to be a little more reasonably priced. The food wasn't hot, and being so close to the ocean, the seafood sure didn't seem to be fresh. Won't go back this year ref: 5522

WOW Somebody on the beach that doesn't charge me for crablegs I don't like.....I never liked the fact that most places charge me for legs even if I am not going to eat them.... the food was wonderful and they had plenty for the kids...we had the early bird and that made it an even better value...PRESTONS is a must when you are in Myrtle Beach...the service was great and we met Kim the manager and he was fantastic ......THANKS FOR GREAT MEAL!!! ref: 5294

Wow..The food here was wonderful. I have tried several buffets around town and this one is the best. The price is very reasonable, The best part is I don't like crablegs and Prestons does not charge me for them. Most places on the beach have crablegs included in their price. So Thank You for not making me pay for someone elses crablegs.If you do like them my wife says these are some of the best around.The service was wonderful. We ask for the same server every year and she is wonderful. You also have wonderful options on a cooked to order menu. I have had the steak to order and it was perfect.The decor is very nostalgic and is appealing to young and old.Make sure you put this restaurant on your list to try. ref: 4690

This is a must try restaurant Adults are $17.95 our 5 year old daughter was $3.95 you can save 10% with a coupon from the Monster book, and various other ones. Very large assortment of food T-Bones on the bar three different carved meats. Seafood, veggies a nice salad bar. For an additional $9.00 you can add crab legs which I did the second night we ate there they were hot and fresh, and better than the ones at The Origional Benjamins. The dessert bar could offer a few more items, but they have plenty to choose from. We will go back ref: 3716

My Family and I (a group of nine) ate dinner at Preston's on July 30 while visiting North Myrtle Beach. We decided to try it out since we read so many good reviews about the restaurant on the internet. We went into the restaurant around 8:45pm and waited for about 8-10 minutes to be seated. So far so good? Not quite. Our experience at Preston's was horrible. Once we were seated, the waitress informed us that the crab legs would were not included on the buffet. With the buffet being very expensive by itself, we all decided that the overpriced crab legs would not be ordered. Why didn't Preston's inform us from the beginning before we were even seated that crab legs were not part of the buffet. We even had called several times, and still no one mentioned that the crab legs were additional to the buffet. Even on their website, Preston's does not state that the crab legs are additional. And to top it all off, the food tasted horrible considering the fact the the buffet was overpriced. Because of the horrible quality of the food, we decided not to tip the waitress. For one, we had to beg for a refill on drinks and the poor quality of the food made us not want to tip. I reccommend that you try other options before you let Preston's be your final decision. ref: 3671

Very disappointed in the selection and quality of the seafood. Our waitress was attentive, but never asked if everything was fine. She probably knew the answer. Quite honestly, we can get a better selection and better quality seafood at a Chinese buffet in Canton, Ohio. Obviously we won't be back. ref: 3367

This is the best place to eat at North Myrtle Beach. They have a selection second to none. seafood, steaks, country cooking and more. it's the least expensive place to eat seafood at Myrtle, and the price is the same it's been for years. The food bar has everything from steaks, chicken, oysters, shrimp, fish, all kinds of hot vegetables, salad bar, and good ice cream. We eat there at least once every time we go to the beach. This is a good family restaurant and for $16.95 you can't find a better place to take your family. We have run a restaurant and I don't know how they can afford to feed people for that price. This isn't your place if you think you are better than everyone else, but if you want good seafood, and down home taste go to Preston's - it's the best in our book.

The food was great. The fried scallops were the best. We chose this restaurant because it also included country style food. You had to pay extra if you wanted crab legs but they were good. The dessert bar could use a few more items. We will make sure to visit here again but I dont think I would pay extra for the crab legs. There is enough seafood on the buffet to satisfy anybody. ref: 2647

The crablegs are the best around, they are served to your table, straight from the kitchen, hot and crisp, easy to unshell, not like the ones found on buffets which are soggy and over boiled. If there are any other places out there that serve them this way, I'd sure like to know where they're at ! We also liked the fried oysters,shrimp and rolls, So, if you're looking for GREAT crablegs, this is our pick ! ! We do suggest that you go early or right at dinnertime. The legs seemed bigger then if you get them later in the evening. Still the best tho ! ! ref: 2500

Beware in the off-season. We went to this restaurant during March Break (14th). Over half of the items on the buffet were luke warm to cold.. and the wine (merlot) was undrinkable. We were asked numerous times how things were. After complaining about the quality of the food (numerous times) we were told that this was the slow time of the year and that was the reason for the inferior offerings. Which, I guess, is understandable, however the price remains the same as in the peak period. The waitress continued to ask if everything was okay, finally we gave up and said it was fine. ref: 2141

Thought Preston's was great. We ended up there for dinner because thats my son's name:) Servers were friendly and tentative.Big roomy booths to sit in, very clean. Lots of items to choose from on buffet: seafood, prime rib and t-bone steaks were awesome. Will definitely eat there again next trip in April 2006. ref: 1923

This restaurant was horrible. The seafood buffet looked terrible. The items on the buffet looked like yesterday's leftovers. For the price, the food was awful. It was so bad, my husband and I left after only eating a salad. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. ref: 1430
