Myrtle Beach's Top 5 Best Seafood Buffets

It's a dream come true for many of Myrtle Beach's land-locked golf visitors.

The Grand Strand is chock full of seafood buffets, but before you spend your hard-earned money and dip your first crab leg into a cup of melted butter, check out one man's list of the area's five best:

Original Benjamin's Calabash Seafood

Myrtle Beach's first standout seafood buffet remains its best and largest (170 items). A nautical theme complements excellent food. Located on restaurant row, Benjamin's serves Calabash style seafood (i.e. fried) along with crab legs, shrimp and a full buffet of Southern cuisine.

Captain George's Seafood Restaurant

Though it lacks the longevity of the Original Benjamin's, Captain George's is unquestionably among the area's best. In addition to excellent food, Captain George's offers the added benefit of being located directly across from the PGA TOUR Superstore on 29th Avenue and it has the area's largest dining room. You will never wait to eat there. And by the way, Captain George's is minutes away from Myrtlewood Golf Club.

Crabby Mike's

From the lighthouse on the building's exterior to the Crabmobile - a black van with a giant crab on top - Crabby Mike's is a good-time buffet. Though Crabby Mike's doesn't take itself too seriously, there is no indifference in the kitchen - the food is very good.

Captain Nemo's Calabash Seafood

Captain Nemo’s offers a relaxed coastal atmosphere where everyone can enjoy an exceptional dining experience, and Indulge in an extensive all-you-can-eat seafood buffet featuring sweet snow crab legs, fresh shrimp, fried Calabash seafood, oysters, fish, scallops, clams, mussels, and blue crabs.

The Giant Crab Seafood Restaurant

It has a cartoonish sounding name and logo, but don't overlook the Giant Crab. It has a raw bar, a carving station featuring prime rib, and a hibachi grill, in addition to the obvious seafood favorites, like crab legs, shrimp, scallops and mahi-mahi on its 170-item buffet. Located on Restaurant Row, the Giant Crab offers a meal as tasty as its decor is outlandish.
