Captain George's Seafood Restaurant

If you love crab legs, this is the place. If you love seafood, this is the place. What really makes this place great is that there is a buffet option, and oh what buffet they have. They have such a huge selection of food. They do have options other than seafood, so if there is someone in your party that doesn't eat seafood, there are some options for them. Oh, and there is even a salad bar! Let's get back to the crab legs though. So many buffets with crab legs are either out of crab legs or the legs are overcooked. Not here. I'm not sure how they do it, but they are always fresh and hot without being overcooked. Keep in mind that they also have a large desert bar as well. The price is high, but if you really love crab legs, you will get your money's worth. Also the waiter that took care of us was always very quick to take away the plates and ensure our drinks were refilled. Excellent!

The price has gotten crazy out of a control, especially for kids. It's $50 per person in 2024 and as others have mentioned, they ask for a 20-25% tip on the receipt. It's a bit much since the servers only bring you your drinks and if you're lucky they take away the empty plates. But at that price point, a family of four paying $200 and then another $50 for a tip??? Nah, I don't think so.I no longer bring my kids here because of the price. I brought my 13 year old daughter and she literally ate a plate of rice and green beans and it was $50. I begged my server for the 12 and under price but she wouldn't budge. I felt this was a bit unreasonable since the price is for the seafood and she didn't eat any but I guess it's my fault for bringing her...lesson learned. Still, it's one of my favorite buffets and I almost always stop if it's just me. The one in Myrtle is till 100 times better than this location but I find myself in OBX more often. The restaurant is pretty clean with the exception of the bathrooms. Y'all pigs go in here and dine like it's a trough and then destroy the bathroom. Not everyone wants to waller in filth! The mens room needs a heavy duty exhaust fan because y'all nasty AF and the stink coming out of that restroom would make a maggot gag.

Not my first time at a Captain George's, but was my first time at this location in Kill Devil. To my surprise we didn't have to wait for a table for our party of 6. I've gone to other location (just my gf and I) and waited 1.5hrs. We all got the buffet and ate our little hearts out. The seafood and especially the crab legs were delicious. The Cajun butter sauce was soooo good. Our waiter was great, always made sure our table was clear of debris and our water cups stayed full. Very please with this visit to Captain Heorges and high recommend stopping in!

We eat every summer at this location. Superb buffet with diverse selection and fresh. Typically order even from the take out or to go menu for family. No matter the size of order, always delicious.

Expensive, but you get what you pay for. $50 for buffet, age 13 and up.Very big selection of seafood. One bar of steamed and fresher seafood and a second bar of breaded and fried seafood.A salad bar that looks good, but almost everyone ignores. Hidden gem on this bar is the hush puppies.There is a nice traditional bar of non-seafood too. I loved the baked macaroni and cheese from this bar.Finally the dessert bar is packed with everything your sweet tooth desires. I recommend the Baklava and Key Lime Cake.Every person in our party of 8 enjoyed every single thing that they got from all their trips of the buffet. The servers are extremely friendly and hard working. I think they work three times harder than you regular resteraunt's servers. Please be sure to tip these hard workers.This location opens at 3:00 pm, by 4:00 pm on a weekday in the summer you are waiting for a seat. Especially if you have a big party. I highly recommend getting there before 4:00 pm, especially on summer weekends.

Giving 4 stars because the employees (waitresses) were amazing! Lily was great! The restaurant is extremely well run, very clean and looks awesome. Great Ambiance. As for the food.Kids menu is good, plus they get to hit the desert bar. Price isn't to bad.As for older kids and adults? The price is insanely high! $50 for adults and $30 for kids. While that is definitely high, it's also important to note, you can have all you can eat, crabs, and tons of other seafood, so when you really think about it, $50 isn't so bad. I just don't know who would actually be able to eat that much.The sides (mash potatoes, mac and cheese, broccoli, etc) were actually my favorite! I found all the seafood to be average, the ribs didn't taste great (although my wife liked them).My favorite was the imperial crab bake! Salmon was decent too. Wouldn't go again because I'm not a buffet guy but it's definitely an experience and it's a quality restaurant. Food is at best average.

My little seafood living, fat kid heart absolutely loves this restaurant.Captain George's is a seafood buffet that creators delicious seafood dishes such as crab legs, scallops, salmon, Crawfish, oysters, and more! This is an AYCE that you won't want to miss! Concerned about them running out of crab legs? Don't, they keep a steady rotation and every time I walked up to the bar, there was crab crab legs out! The waitstaff helped each other out. They're fine by and empty our shell bucket often and refill the drinks as needed. Watch out for people, this place is huge and it was packed. People were pretty respectful at the buffet but not everyone is paying attention. Pretty standard for a buffet though. The only reason I'm knocking a star is some of the food on the buffet was OK. I'd avoid the fried scallops. And the banana pudding? Don't even bother. That was honestly the worst banana pudding I've ever had. It was like a thick, vanilla bean pudding with Nilla wafers and banana slices. I've never seen a white banana pudding before. The key lime cake though? Get it. Was delicious.This is definitely a place you'll have to test yourself to of you're a seafood lover!

Our group of 6 had a good time till the deep fried scallop my wife ate made here sick and have to excuse herself because it was half raw. No apologies though until I got upset. I think they thought she did it on purpose. 300 dollar bill and they think I did it to get a free meal!? But thanksfor the 25 dollar gift card. What a joke. Might as well be garbage. My wife won't go back

Went here last night for dinner with a group of 11.. the waitress was extremely nice and we had great service for such a large party. However, half of us got the buffet and the other half ordered off the menu a la carte and the a la carte entrees took forever to arrive. Half the party had to watch the buffet goers eat their 2nd and 3rd plates before we stopped and waited for their food to come out, realizing it was taking so long. Buffet food was good, but not worth $50 a person. I would pay $35-$40 a person with the quality of food and number of options available. The snow crab legs are the only real star of the show.

Absolutely disgusting. The food wasn't hot, the seafood had been recooked and was not fresh at all. They didn't even have the buffet. They had a very limited selection of items to choose from I will never go there again and would never recommend this restaurant to anyone.
