I visited the Sea Captains house for lunch 2X during my 4 day stay in Myrtle Beach. I thought the ambiance was quite lovely with the different dining rooms and patio. Service was prompt, friendly and top-notch, had a few really enjoyable conversations with my servers. The food was predictable, but tasted great, was cooked well, and there was plenty of it. Whoever thinks this restaurant is expensive has obviously never been to Key West because I found it to be ridiculously low priced. Fairly decent wine list. If you are looking for fine dining this is not the place. if you are looking for an Arthur Treachers this is also not the place. This is a nice, moderately priced enjoyable restaurant to have a decent meal in comfortable surroundings. Kudos to the staff.

My family and I visit Myrtle Beach once a year and we always return to Sea Captains House every year at least twice. The food is exellent (a little pricey, but worth it) we have never had a bad meal. We are planning our wedding near by and will be making the 45 min. drive to have our reception dinner here! The atmosphere is beautiful, the food is great as well as the service. What more could you ask for!

I must say I was dissapointed. This place had been recommended to me many times but the food quality was just not there. I had the crab soup....needed to be doctored considerably. For an entree, I had the flounder stuff with crab. It simply did not stand out...very bland. My server was wonderful, attentive and very professional but the food lacked compared to the cost of the meal. I most likely will not go back again.

LOVE this place. I have been for lunch & dinner and have been pleased everytime. The she-crab soup is very good. The crabcakes are not as good as Phillips HOWEVER the lemon-dill sauce they serve with theirs is a nice for a change. VERY tasty! The kids menu is very good & reasonable. I LOVE the fact I can get them fresh fruit with their entree........

I have had lunch and dinner here time after time so it's hard to put one meal in mind for a review. The food is always WOW and at night I don't mind the wait as we sit around the den-like area having cordials and meeting new friends.

Consistently the best Myrtle Beach has to offer. Innovative, original dishes that keep visitors and locals as well coming back time after time. You will not be let down at this location, but be there early!

Don't know what all the fuss is about. Food is OK but nothing special and not much of it. Certainly not worth the price.

We are locals and love this place. We go for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Every meal is great!!!! The view is awesome. Our favorite dining time is for lunch, as we love the daily lunch specials. Being local, we do know the best days and times to go to not have to fight the crowds. I would suggest that anyone that likes Red Lobster better or makes the comparison, keep going to Red Lobster to allow more space for those that really enjoy Sea Captains House.. Service is great. Value for $ is great!!!

We finally tried this restaurant 2 years ago and it was love at first bite.

This past year we visited 2 times during the week we were there. The mahi-mahi is good (I have it each time).

Waitress has always been attentive.

I tried a ginger lime sauce this past year with the mahi at the recommendation of the waitress. I asked for it on the side in case I did not like it as I do not have a palate for much ginger. The sauce was wonderful (I'm glad I took her advice).

We will continue to go back each year.

This is one of our favorite restaurants in Myrtle Beach. We've been there at least once and often twice on every trip to the area.

The atmosphere is the best in Myrtle Beach and the service is always quick and friendly.

The food is always fresh and definitely above average.

Overall, it's a great place to eat!

I can only say that anyone who gives this place a bad rating for food has no idea of what good food is and would probably be happier at McDonalds. Everything is fresh and prepared to order. Breakfast is a must. Simply the most consistently good restaurant around.

My husband is a chef - we took our family here no less than 3 times while in Myrtle Beach for a week's vaction. We came for dinner twice, and breakfast once. Delicious everything!!!! I adored the blackened scallops over cheddar grits and the she-crab soup. Our servers were all prompt and delightful and kind to our three yr old daughter. Yes, the outdoor bartender was slow, but the wait for a table felt surprisingly short considering the crowd. Plus, how can you complain about the wait when you are gazing out at the beautiful blue ocean? A creative chef, a beautiful setting, a top-notch restaurant - highly recommended!!

I think this place was highly overrated. The waiting area and bar are not sufficient. It took 30 minutes to get a drink because they only have one bartender. For the price you pay for the food you would expect cloth on the tables, not plastic.

I've never had a bad meal here and I've been eating here since the 70's. We always eat at Sea Captians at least twice during our vaction. This is Myrtle Beach seafood at its best. It always makes me wish we were staying a the Jamacian next door so I could do breakfast, lunch and dinner. Do not miss this one.

How can you compare this place to red lobster! I love this place. The food is very good and compared to other seafood restaurants the price is reasonable. The view of the ocean is so beautiful as you eat. The only thing I would change is the wait time,but that just tells you how good it is. They open at 5pm and we try to be there at that time.Even the wait is enjoyable. This is the one special restaurant we visit each year when we come to the beach.

We liked this place well enough for dinner to go back a second time in the same week. But there are disadvantages. The bar service on the patio, which is all that is available while you wait for a table, is extremely limited: crummy selection of wines, limited beer selection, etc. Sounds petty, but our wait was an hour the first time, so decent bar choices are important. The food was great, especially the scallops. While I've read the comments that said there are better places in terms of value (we considered this to be only moderately expensive, not really expensive,) those other places don't have a site right on the beach with a grassy area for waiting and/or kicking off your shoes. The ambience while you wait is actually better than the ambience while you are eating!

Every time we go to Myrtle Beach we have breakfast here. Very good food and coupled with the ocean view make this a must try. Haven't tried any other meal besides breakfast but plan to on our next trip.

On one web site this restaurant was Rated No. 1 and I don't know why. I could get the same meal at Red Lobster for a lot less money. It is in a house and that is cute but I don't see what's so special about the food.
