    • Q:

      I see they open at 3:30, do they allow you to check in early?

      A:

      It's a first come, first serve place. I don't believe there is anyone there until they open for getting your name on the list. Either way at 3:30 I don't think there will be much of a wait. Enjoy, it's really good....

      My girlfriend and I ate here on 6/30/23 at about 7:00 pm. We had a small wait, about 10 minutes. I've been eating here since mid 2000s. Never once have I been disappointed with any aspect of this restaurant. The food is always hot and fresh, the service is always top notch and other patrons are pleasant. I guess good food makes people happy. I live 3 hours away and if I go to the beach just for a couple of days, Crabby Mike's is a must stop.

      Only worth going if you can eat unlimited crab legs.
      All the other food options were very average. The soup was good, the salad bar was nice, and the cornbread was amazing. It was like eating dessert. All the other proteins were too salty or just didn't taste good. Our server was great. Young woman was very sweet and helpful. But be prepared to wait at least 30 min for seats

      Went here because the seafood buffet that people referred us to was in an hour wait. I'm so glad we went to Crabby Mikes. The food, service and ambiance were fantastic. Server was very attentive and exceeded all of our expectations. The food was hands down the best seafood. This will be my go to seafood buffet when in S. Carolina.

      First time visiting Myrtle Beach so of course I wanted to go to a seafood buffet and I'm glad I chose this one! Everything I ate was seasoned and delicious. Caraline was our server and she was attentive and super sweet...they need to give her a raise . I highly recommend trying this spot out!

      When I walked in the build I thought the crabs I steam could not be beat, but when I got the crab legs here they were SO good, the service was amazing my daughter didn't know how to use the crab crackers and the server kindly helped and gave a demonstration. The atmosphere is amazing and I highly recommend this place

      Not for me. To much going on all around buffet was looking pretty dry under heat lamps and also fried food was soggy go figure. Ridiculous up selling of photos and a magnum of hoard hung over head and from every wall and surface. It was stinky inside.

      The best buffet in Myrtle Beach I'm not typically a person that goes to a Buffay because I'm not a big eater but if you go hungry, you'll get your moneys worth and the food is excellent highly recommended

      I enjoyed the food, the selection, and the service wa great. The wait staff busts their hiney with constant refills, stocking plates, and cleaning up the baskets of scraps. I wish there was a little more order in the place with lines, etc - but with the way patrons flock to the food (I'd liken it to hogs to their slop) it would be hard to enforce. I'd say it's definitely an experience! For the price you really could eat a lot of seafood. Like crab legs, prime rib, shrimp, etc. the place was also decorated really cute with an under the sea vibe and games outside for the kiddos while you wait.
