5 Myrtle Beach Buffets You Must Try

Time to belly up on your Myrtle Beach getaway.

Few things entice us as an all-you-can-eat buffet. Is it the splendid variety? The challenge of how much you can put away? Maybe a little of both?

Either way, there are some excellent choices on the Grand Strand. In a place of excess and living in the moment, what could be a better dinner than a heaping plate of calabash?

Why do we love the buffet life?

It’s a sweet spot for the restaurant and the consumer. Restaurant owners can cut back a bit on staff for buffets, and consumers can eat as much as they can for a fixed price. Are we trying to maximize our eating dollars, or going for a great array of food choices to try? Either way, the buffet is big business — and a delicious dilemma.

1. Captain George's Seafood Restaurant

Kick back in this galley-themed eatery with a buffet as long as the swab deck. Pro tip: skip lunch before you visit, because you’re going to want to load up on a lot of deliciousness here! Try Snow Crab Legs, She-Crab Soup, Sauteed Mushrooms, Chocolate Pudding, and more. The service is wonderful, too.

2. House of Blues Myrtle Beach

If you’ve been here for dinner, you realize what a dream an all-you-can-eat buffet would be at House of Blues. The gospel brunch features beautiful soul music, so get there early for the best seats.
