Corolla Seafood Buffet

Not fresh food... had a few people in our party get sick afterwards, and crappy customer service with no waiting area. I do not recommend this place especially with the high price.

Our party of 5 loved this All You Can Eat Buffet for ~$42/person (w/o 3% service charge + tip + tax)! You can skip the 3% service charge if you pay in all cash per their sign. Fantastic value for what you get. It's an unassuming spot next to Food Lion with ample parking. They take reservations day of, and there was hardly a wait once we arrived. The restaurant is smaller than expected inside for a buffet, but the tables were well spaced apart and had some mixed booths. There's hand sanitizer at the start of the buffet line. Bathroom was clean. Here's some of the things they offer: hot butter (essential for seafood dipping), seafood chowder (thick, filled with bits of seafood and potato, was pretty good), salad bar, homemade smoked salmon (looked sketch but homemade and it was good, a little salty) and tuna poke (good despite its appearance!), a fried foods/deep south station (mac + cheese and corn dog nuggets were the BEST), braised beef (partner liked it). Then the seafood line is at the end - mussels, clams, snow crab legs, crab cakes, deviled stuffed crabs. The seafood was all well-seasoned and cooked! The snow crab legs had tons of meat and they kept the line well-stocked. Looking back, it probably wasn't highest quality, but I definitely didn't notice and enjoyed everything thoroughly and didn't get sick after :) The dessert options were more limited but were great as well! The service was also so impressive! The host apologized and checked in on us twice while we waited outside for a short 5-10 minutes after our reservation. The waitstaff cleared our tables relatively quickly, refilled our drinks, and were very friendly and funny with us. Side note: Partner's aunt and uncle were less impressed when they went the next day, said the food was cold.

Our group of 9 loved the food and the service. Great prices compared to other nearby seafood buffets. Highly recommend for others

Fantastic new All You Can Eat buffet. My family normally goes to Jimmy's every year but this place is a fantastic upgrade. Less cramped seating, better food, takes reservations, and a really nice and attentive waiting staff. There were around 40 dishes available which is on the smaller size for a buffet, but they had all the dishes we wanted and they were all really well prepared and seasoned. Snow crab legs were great, crab cakes were amazing, mussels were great and there were so many other great dishes. It is $42 per person, which is better than Jimmy's pricing. Definitely our family's new favorite seafood buffet for trips to the outerbanks!

Great quality buffet on a smaller scale with all the favorites in abundance. I actually appreciated the smaller buffet quality. No large cheese lines for crab legs which are brought to you by servers as you run low. The quality of food was good and the drinks were even better. Overall I would definitely take this place over the large buffets

They have a large selection on their buffet. The food was very good. The staff were very helpful and took care of all of our needs.

Service was good but otherwise unimpressive. For fifty bucks I got what was basically a truck stop buffet with all you can eat overcooked crab legs. Most of the buffet was non seafood items. Crab cakes and deviled crab were all bread crumbs. Clam strips and oysters were heavily breaded and nothing else stood out with the exception of soft serve ice cream. Next time I'll make the forty minute drive to Jimmie's or Captain Georges.

Such a disappointment. The only thing that was good was the service. Our waitress was really nice and attentive and brought out crab legs frequently. But the crab legs themselves were pretty sad. Unlike Captain George's, where there are many types of crab in the buffet, this place only has one type and it was quite scrawny. The rest of the buffet was very small and was simultaneously both the worst food and highest price of any buffet I've ever been to. On top of all that, the place screwed up not only our reservation but the reservation of everyone else on the day we visited. I called at lunchtime and made a reservation for that evening and then rallied our large group to get there on time. When we arrived the restaurant said, "Oh we have you listed for tomorrow not today." There was a group of ten people outside who said the same thing happened to them and they were waiting for an hour.It's a much longer drive to Captain George's but that place was awesome the previous year and I'll go there next time for sure.

Great service. We were able to get in with a party of 15 with no problems thanks to the reservation system. Wish more restaurants in the area also took reservations. Food was better than average buffet food.

Definitely not worth the money. Certain foods were very overcooked and dry. Some foods were bland and tasteless. Of course the crab legs were good and the staff/our server......terrific!!!! Definitely disappointing. Next time we will go back to Captain George's.
