CAPTAIN GEORGE'S SEAFOOD RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Always a joy coming here! I haven't been to this specific CAPTAIN George's in a few years, I have been going to the one in the outer banks the past few years, but it was still just as good as I remember! It is a higher price as far as buffets go, but it's higher value/quality food, so you definitely get your money's worth if you choose the more expensive foods. Definitely come check it out.

I usually go to the Myrtle Beach location but this one was just as good.our server was Christy and she did an awesome job. We never waited for a refill of sweet tea or a napkin.everything was great will definitely be back.

Great place to get your favorite seafood around the area for the money, staff is really professional, the place is really big and lots of food to choose from, must try.

WATERMAN'S SURFSIDE GRILLE REVIEWS

This a great oceanfront restaurant. The food was fresh and delicious. The price was reasonable. The only disappointment was not having oysters on the menu. The scallops were fresh and seared to perfection. The she crab soup was filling and full of crab. Perfect for any and all occasions.

Brooklyn delivered an excellent service and can do a convincing British accent. And the food was delicious. Not living near a coast I miss eating fresh sea food. The she crab soup was full of crab meat and the salmon was prepared perfectly. Great fries, the “orange crush” drink was a little too sweet for my liking but Brooklyn helped out and recommended plenty of options with less sugar.

Wonderful seafood, etc., place right on the beach in VA Beach, Virginia. The ribeye with added lobster tail was an exquisite splurge. The children all enjoyed their selections.

TAUTOG'S RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Such a very fun and friendly atmosphere! The power kept going out on the whole street and they still remained super positive. The food is AMAZING! Sarah was such an awesome waitress, very kind, shared her honest opinion on dishes and we left feeling like we could be friends with her! Highly, highly recommend.

Love this place! Fantastic service, great wine recommendations. I love when the server takes pride and ownerships in the restaurant. Great vibe, music, and food! Highly recommend the crab dip, oysters Rockefeller, local sheepshead special. Flounder in a bag and crab cakes were delicious too.

Great food and vibe. Terry was amazing and helped us order dishes and also the quantity. Amazing crab nachos and crab soup sherry. Loved also the sage trout fish so delicate and crisp. Unique key lime pie. Yummy. Highly recommended.
