So an adult buffet is $59.99. I did see a review that was disappointed in the salad bar options but honestly, I didn't look at the salad bar because for $60 I was going to fill up on steak and seafood. BTW all of which was super yummy and very tasty. I honestly didn't eat a thing I didn't like.

Very delicious! Worth every penny! Come hungry and definitely try the She Crab soup. They are very generous with all portions. Chance was a buser and did an eccentric job helping us get crab crackers, crab fork, and lemons. Our server was also very helpful and helped us get what we needed.

The food was great and so was the service. However, the way they charge you is insane. My 11 was considered an adult. They charge you by height! Thats crazy to me. It was $328 after tip for 4 of us. It was good but not worth that at all.

The new price based on height is horrible for families! My 3 year old paid 25$ to eat 3 items and my 10 year old paid 60$ for a small pasta plate. The way they charge now is not family friendly! Do not
come if you have kids!

The pricing is stupid . My daughter is 3 and is 36 inches tall. She does not eat 25 dollars worth of food .

Great food but the price is astronomical for a child to eat, we didn’t realize it until it was too late but they won’t get me again. 300$ for a family of 5 is completely ridiculous. It’s based off height and nothing to do with age.

Wow! The food was sooo good. Went with some friends the last night it was open for the season during pirate weekend. It’s is kind of pricey, but expected for an all you can eat buffet.

Visited on a birthday trip and made special plans to visit here since I have seen it on social media, etc. Needless to say, my sister and I were very disappointed. The price is $60 for adult buffet, which was very small. The highlight of what we visited for was the crab legs and filet mignon. The crab legs were okay, but seemed overcooked as the shells were flimsy making them difficult to crack. The flavor of the crab was still good. The filet mignon, on the other hand, was extremely disappointing. I asked for medium cook twice, and received rare, twice. My sister also asked for medium and hers was rare. When I say rare, the steaks were pretty much raw. She always orders steak medium rare, and it was way underdone for her liking. We couldn't eat it...the only reason I tried again after the first one was because I saw them refill the steaks and figured that *maybe* I was given the wrong cook before, but, no. It was the same as the first and was not able to eat it. The steak also had very little flavor, just disappointing for sure. The salad bar on the buffet was the highlight for me. Although it didn't have extensive selection for toppings, it was fresh and their ranch was delicious. The made to order pasta was also good and prepared fresh to your liking with whichever noodles type, sauce type, protein and vegetables that you like. The dessert options were very minimal and mediocre. The service was good, it was very busy but our drinks were kept full and the staff kept the table clean by removing dirty plates and replacing the shell plate used for discarding the shells regularly. I think the buffet was overpriced for being so small and the quality of the food on the low end. I'm not typically one to write poor reviews, but I must be honest as I had such high expectations for this birthday dinner with family. I'm glad we visited The Wharf for the experience; however, I would not recommend this place and I personally would never choose to return in the future.

This is not the buffet if you're looking for fresh, delicious food. The "buffet" is a disgrace. The servers are really nice, but that's a whole lot of money for yuck food. The aquarium was a joke. They make it sound all wonderful, it's not. I guess it could be worth it if you're going to eat alot of crab legs, but other than that, no good. The dessert was on Styrofoam plates. On a table along the wall. Just definitely not worth $270.00 for yucky, stale, food. Again, the servers are kind. I just would suggest go to golden corral if you're looking for a selection buffet. It was just so expensive for nothing.
