A 5-Star Seafood Buffet

Captain Benjamin's Calabash Seafood buffet was phenomenal. Don't let the outside fool you... the decor is clean and beautiful. Our waitress, Kay, was amazing and went above and beyond to give us an awesome experience. The food was delicious, fresh and perfect temperature. Everything was so great that we wanted to come back, however, time would not permit us to do so. We are from Tennessee and definitely plan to come back!

Weekend at Myrtle Beach

This place has been one of the nicest buffets I've ever been to. The food, the servers and the restaurant itself are all fantastic. The food was kept stocked (even the crab legs), and the desserts were over the top. You might pay a few bucks more but in my opinion it's well worth it. You can find a $5 off coupon in the discount books available everywhere. My family and I highly recommend this restaurant.

GREAT CARRY OUT

Did CARRY-OUT from the Original Calabash and it was a GREAT experience. I checked the other Calabash restaurants for carry out. They all gave you one large box to fill and a smaller one for "dessert" for the SAME price as if you went in and had ALL you can eat.. WELL, The Original Benjamins gives you THREE Large Boxes - one at a time - to fill AND a small one for "Dessert" or whatever. They also give you a small container of Hushpoopies that are to die for as well as coctail sauce, honey butter, terter sauce, etc. Their Price is the same as if you did the buffet. Great deal. SO for CARRY-OUR do the Original Benjamin's - you get your money's worth. AND on top of that the ladies are FANTASTIC at the register. Couldn't ask for a friendlier reception. Oh yes, very conscious of Social DIstancing and cleanliness and COVID.

The best crab legs

We've been going to Benjamin's for over 27 yrs. Never, ever had a bad meal. Wide variety of food. Crab legs are perfectly cooked. The desserts are delicious.

excellent variety seafood

My sister takes me to Original Captain Benjamins for my birthday in August. They have great Crab Legs and other variety of seafood. Different types of desserts to choose from. The staff has been great every time we have been. Getting coupons helps with the prices. Good location at Myrtle Beach

Wonderful!

We are in Myrtle Beach celebrating our 25th Anniversary. Came to Benjamin's for our Anniversary dinner and we are so glad we did! My husband is a picky eater, and here he was able to eat his steak to his fullest, while I enjoyed your wonderful seafood. Two thumbs up!!! Thank you for helping to make our 25th Anniversary a special one to remember.
