Mr. Crab Calabash Seafood Buffet

Awesome seafood buffet withe large and yummy selection. Great atmosphere and helpful service. Main attract was lobster buffet and we got well worth of our money it was delicious!!!

Really good place!!! Seafood is so yummy! I highly recommend this place!!! Friendly personal!!!

We always go to Giant Crab, but tonight we thought we should try some place different to compare. We’ll we will be going back to Giant Crab from now on. If we had not been there and had it to compare, I would have given this a 4 star rating.
More of a selection at Giant Crab and better tasting food. Their is only a couple of dollars difference but so worth the extra money at Giant Crab.

There are plenty of choices at this buffet. We went here at 3 and the food was fresh and delicious. They don’t overflow each section with food and they are really quick at making more. We didn’t have any issues with the food like other Unilocalers. This place is a contender with captain Georges if you remember to bring the coupon from their website (I’m unclear about this but a friend brought it up).

The service was great, and the food was delicious. At first we thought $ 27.99 was a little pricey, but as soon as we started eating we thought that the money was worth it. The crab legs were amazing and there was no shortage. The other foods were good, but the crab legs took the spotlight. Our service was great as our crab leg bowl was replaced consistently which only allowed us to keep eating!

BEWARE!!!
This buffet is $ 27 and is definitely NOT worth it. I came here with my friend while vacationing and this was the worst part of my vacation. Everything on the buffet was old and tasted like it was frozen. You’re at a beach you should have fresh food! Complained about the food being cold so they cooked everything I wanted «fresh.» Got the fresh food and still tasted old and frozen. Told the owner and he said he’d give me a discount. He took 10% off which made my bill come out to $ 27 and some change. So technically I got my drink for free. I put a $ 5 bill on the table and paid for my drinks and that was It! I refused to pay $ 27 for a buffet that was disgusting and I was still leaving hungry! I walked out cause there was no one working to be found. As I’m walking down the street the owner chases me down and threatening to call the cops on me unless I paid. Again I refused to pay for a buffet I did not eat and hated! Do not go here! I have no problem paying $ 27 for a good seafood buffet but this was not it! Go to captain George’s !!!

My family and I were vacationing in Myrtle Beach when we decided to give this buffet a try. We went around 8:30pm and ya it was pretty empty. The staff was very friendly though and the restaurant was as clean as your average Golden Corral.
So here’s the deal. The buffet was $ 27.99 for an adult and $ 39.99 for an adult if you want lobster, 12.99 for kids 6 – 12 and kids 1 – 2 are free. I got the $ 39.99 deal and YES they cooked and delivered a whole cooked lobster (not just tail) to me. When I was close to finishing one they asked if I would like another whole lobster. I ate 3 whole lobsters with my buffet meal before I told them I was full. They were still ready to send another if I wanted. Crab legs were awesome, the tray was full of freshly cooked legs. The rest of the buffet was pretty good as well. There wasn’t a huge selection compared to some of the bigger chains but what they had was pretty good. Baked salmon, mahi, stuffed flounder etc. The desserts weren’t bad either, way better than those Chinese buffets.
I’ve noticed some negative reviews and I gotta say I’m glad we decided to see for ourselves what this place has to offer. Considering what I spent at Mr. Crab versus some of the other restaurants we ate at during our stay at myrtle beach, this place was pretty decent.

Wow… that was a mistake. Everything was old, we’ll except for the crab legs; people were eating them fast so they were having to keep up. Everything else was dissapointing… even the oreo crumbs on the dessert bar were soft and chewy. Wish I could go back and pass this one.
