Fried slop -- I don't think they have changed the grease in over two years. When you walk by these places, you can smell the slimy grease. Disgusting, heart attack waiting to happen.

Over cooked crab, everything seemed fried and tasteless, mussels were decent but they had no scallops Vegetables were all over cooked but that is not unusual for this type of establishment There are better sea food buffets in Myrtle Beach.

While there was a huge selection of vegetables, mains and desserts, the quality was just not there. Shrimp breaded and fried 4 different ways did not give any good flavor to the shrimp; the crab legs were over cooked and hard to get the meat out. For $30 per person for the buffet, I had hoped for better quality, not... More

Perhaps we are just over buffets but this was just so highly touted we gave it a try. 2 hour wait in a parking lot filled with rusting sea artifacts pretending to be decor.

Lots of seafood - crablegs, clam strips, shrimp, fish. Pasta, salads, it was a huge buffet! One should definitely get more than enough to eat and the desserts were yummy:)
