50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Calabash

“Favorite restaurant for seafood“

“We received the most wonderful service from our server/waitress her name was Alana I hope I spelled her name correctly because she deserves an award for her beautiful service, prompt, extra care in getting your order, kindness and a beautiful smile, literally the best waitress I have ever been served by!!!! And the food was great too.“

“Have eaten here several times over the past few years. Consistently one of the finest seafood restaurants we’ve ever visited. While the atmosphere isn’t exceptional, it’s good for a seafood restaurant. Of all the Calabash restaurants, this is our favorite. We ordered drinks as soon as seated and then food. ALL was delivered inside of 10 minutes - probably 5 minutes. We had fried shrimp and clam strips. Breading, temperature, and presentation was excellent. Delicious! Hush puppies with honey butter was our dessert! Senior menu option and very reasonable prices. I highly recommend this place if you’re trying to decide which of the dozen restaurants to dine at in Calabash.

Parking: Large lot beside the restaurant and even larger lot directly across from the restaurant at Callahan’s if needed.“

“Great seafood fresh off the boat. Great staff. Food arrived quickly. Great price for the quality.“

“Stopped in while on a motorcycle ride, and we couldn't have been happier finding this little gem!! We had the large and deluxe calabash plates, and they were more like 2 or 3 meals! Everything tasted perfectly cooked!! The service was exceptionally wonderful as well!!!“

“Fried shrimp and hush puppies were delicious. Sat outside, which was wonderful. Service was great. Will definitely go back.“

“Came back again for dinner & Sue was our server again. She made it once again pleasurable & our dinners were exceptional!“

“Great experience at Bennett’s Grill and Cafe. Food was delicious and staff was friendly!“

“We had a big party of 11. We made a reservation and had no issues being seated. Our server, Patience, did a fantastic job. Quite a broad menu with choices for everyone. Food was quick to arrive and everyone was more than satisfied with how delicious it was. Portions were large and filling. Totally recommend and will return ourselves!

Dietary restrictions: Pasta is not gluten free, but with the protein options and rice being another side item, we were able to find what we needed.

Another one of our party has a shellfish allergy and we only had to tell our server to be sure to let the kitchen know. There were no issues with cross contamination.“

“We love to eat here every year. One of our family favorites. Definitely recommend“

“we almost didn't go in because the kine ro fet in was literally 50 people long, but so glad we waited because the food was delicious and service was great.“

“Amazing!! Had the Maine roll and it was so very good! The amount of lobster on the sandwich is incredible. No tiny little pieces here. You get big chucks of fresh good tasting meat. And a nice buttery roll. Yummy!! Vinny the owner and his son do a fantastic job running this place. Totally worth every penny! Want a fresh lobster roll in NMB? Go here!“

“We made our second visit to Cape Fear Seafood on Sunday late afternoon with a couple of friends. The food was excellent. Our server appeared to be uninterested in being there and we felt like we were irritating him just by ordering. We will go back but I hope we don’t get the same waiter next time.“

“Service was good food was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend“

“In town visiting family and had the most wonderful dinner at TPT. Our meals were all deliciously prepared and our server Sloane was attentive and friendly. Highly recommended the Prime Rib and salmon 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

“Loved Dustin or Devon? our server. He did great. Took care of our pup and that always makes us happy. The food was really solid, the only reason it isn't 5 star is because they were out of one menu item. Didn't ruin any of the experience but it means it's not "perfect".

I would recommend this place. Solid go to.“

“Get a fresh catch and hit the spot every time!“

“We've been many times. Best Seafood Buffet on the Grand Strand. Great staff. Great Food! Thanks Majid took great care of us! Thanks John for cooking my Prime Rib on the grill a little longer! Highly Recommend this place“

“We had dinner here twice this week. Really good happy hour food and drink specials, I just wish they didn’t end it at 530. Thought that was a little odd. We had grouper bits and buffalo shrimp. Then shared fried oysters and scallops. Everything was absolutely delicious. Our server/bartender was Matthew and he was awesome“

“The food was amazing but the server and food runner would have rather been anywhere but at work. The food runner was throwing food on the table like he was pissed off. The server never asked if we needed boxes or refills before bringing the check. Gratuity was already added, which was fine but servers should always inform their customers. We asked for a few more drinks and we actually got an eye roll. (Note this is after getting the check and after everyone only having (1) drink with no refill). Thankfully, the food far outweighed the service.“

“We both had the 1/2 pound hamburgers. Cooked almost to perfection.“

“Consistently good food, good music and great service.“

“Great atmosphere and service! Colin is the best!“

“We had the best experience dining at this restaurant. The service and food was excellent. I had the oyster roast and it was delicious.“

“Our first time after hearing amazing things ! This place did not disappoint , food was amazing ! The French onion soup was excellent, I had the crab stuffed grouper and my husband had the white fish, both were amazing and even though it’s not close to us in Murrells Inlet, WE WILL BE BACK !!!!“

“The service was excellent and food was great. Also Jeanne was a very waitress with a great personality. She is an asset to Carrabba’s Restaurant. Thank for a great time and dinner..“

“Love, love, love this restaurant! Amazing food, great atmosphere, wonderful service. My wife and I dined here for the first time for our anniversary. We were blown away. We are not used to fine dining, but this was everything we imagined. Wonderful presentation also, and the server was exquisite. She also had the sous chef to come out and let us take a picture with him. We will be back. Best dinner ever. Made for a special night. Thank you! James and Bridgett from Ocean Isle“

“The food was so goooooooooooood.“

“Awesome brunch, food and drinks are 💯💯. Can’t wait to try out their dinner!“

“great food, love the food“

“Came here to celebrate my birthday with my mom and godmom and it was our first visit after we had heard great reviews about the food. Well not only was the food amazing but the staff and owners were superb! Staff can make or break a restaurant and they made it! They made a point to make sure my evening was special, with birthday wine glass, napkin, and desert plate ❤️ we will be coming back for sure!“

“I love the weekday specials. They are great and there is lots of food on the plate. I am always full when I leave. Service is fast and my favorite waitress is the friendliest. Great place to eat. I highly recommend it.“

“We enjoyed our dinner and drinks tonight. It was our first time there. Very friendly staff, delicious food, good chips and salsa. Bobby the robot was fun.“

“We tried this place after seeing it on Yelp and am glad we did! We had a reservation for 10 (4 adults and 6 kids/teens) and were seated immediately. We were in and out in an hour which is unbelievable for MB during Spring Break. Food, drinks, dessert, and portions were all great!“

“Went for lunch today and enjoyed the food and atmosphere. I will definitely be back.“

“There's a reason you can catch so many locals here. My family and I stopped here on a Saturday morning after seeing a long line at another spot. Food was awesome and the service was excellent. I had a simple but delicious bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. My kids (two 10 yo boys) each enjoyed a plate sized pancake w/ bacon (crispy, their favorite) and my wife had the feta omelet which she said was excellent. Cool local college vibe with maybe one too many Carolina logos :) but really a great spot for folks on the island or maybe heading home after check out. If we ever find ourselves down that way again, we're definitely stopping.“

“my new go to bar, love Dino and Brittney. Bartenders are the best, very friendly. Till next time. Cathy and John Smythe with a Y“

“My colleague and I ate at Roberto’s 10ish years ago. Not good. So we avoided it and went everywhere else. Tried it again last night. We both could have licked our plates. It was crazy good. Even the olive oil for dipping the bread was insanely delicious. The chef came out to see if our food was ok. Nice vibe.“

“The stuffed mushrooms were absolutely amazing!! Shepards pie and beef stew out of this world! You will not be disappointed. Lovely atmosphere and great pricing.“

“We love this place to get away from other stand alone restaurants that seem to be 50 yards from each other ? Matt was by far the BEST waiter we’d ever had here. If you can get in his seating area you won’t regret it. Doesn’t hover but is right there when needed. The lobster bites are made with a calabash flour so light and airy. Drinks were superb. Can’t wait to go back.“

“We were at Sharkeys on Monday October 21. Good food, customer service, friendly staff. Our young man waiter did forget one item my husband wanted but it was ok. They were extremely busy. Food was very good and we did not have to wait long. We had eaten there before and will go back in the future. Menu has a good variety of different foods.“

“We traveled an hour to go to Feast. The food is fantastic. We took our extended family and had a wonderful experience. Our group got everything from crab legs to enchiladas…it was the best food of our vaca!“

“We went to Filet's for happy hour and sat on the back bar on the water. We both had the steak bits done rare and medium rare, i can say you could cut them with the fork so tender and lots of flavor. We had a few beers and then ordered a tequila shot, that was the only disappointment it was like water . Other than that, it was exceptional. We love going here for happy hour. The waitress was on the ball and checked on us regularly.“

“This is a hidden gem at Sunset Beach.“

“My favorite restaurant! Amazing views of the waterway, great service and delicious food! The shrimp and grits dish is my absolute favorite! Great happy hour specials too!“

“It was a wonderful date night with my husband. Wonderful staff, great atmosphere and delicious food!!“
