We are pretty local to the Outer Banks and decided to try Jimmy's Seafood Buffet while spending a…read morefamily weekend at the beach -- and we are SO glad we did! We had been needing to get our fill of crab and all the other yummy things under the sea, and Jimmy's 100% delivered. We went on lobster night, and my husband and I each had two lobsters along with so many other delicious options. Everything exceeded our expectations and was absolutely worth the cost. When I go to a seafood buffet, I usually try not to fill up on carbs because I want to save all the room for seafood -- but those mashed potatoes just looked too good. They were literally the last thing I ate, and I am very glad I decided to say yes to them! There was so much love put into the food, and the whole atmosphere had such a great, comfortable vibe. You can come as you are, wear whatever you want, relax, and just enjoy really good food. And a big shout-out to our server, Nick! He was super friendly and helped make our first experience at Jimmy's such a wonderful one. We will absolutely be back. Jimmy's exceeded our expectations from beginning to end!

2/5 I stopped by…read moreCrazy Buffet recently and left feeling pretty disappointed. The food was okay, not great, not terrible, just average buffet food. What really stood out to me was the condition of the table. The condiment tray was rusty, which honestly wasn't something I expected to see in a restaurant and made me question the overall cleanliness. The service didn't help either. Our server wasn't very friendly and seemed uninterested, which made the experience feel less welcoming. I don't mind a simple buffet if the food is decent and the place feels clean, but between the rusty condiment tray and the lackluster service, it wasn't an enjoyable visit. The food alone wasn't enough to make up for those issues. Overall, I'd rate it 2/5 stars.

First, their prices increased dramatically to about $60 per person which just isn't worth it, no matter how many crab legs you get. They changed the ordering system so now the crab legs are to-order from your waiter in buckets which isn't bad because it makes sure people get enough. The food was more cold this year and less tasty overall. Just seemed not worth it for the price. Our family did not return this summer 2025 due to the bad experience in 2024. Would not recommend anymore.

We should have known when we waked in and the door was so sprung had to kick it to open and half the sign was missing off the building! just wow. Not a complainer by far but I'd advise staying away!

But enough yelpish poetic nonesense. Ordered ala carte. The chicken and broccoli was pretty damn good. It was not oily as I feared and wasn't fried to oblivion. It was perfect.

God is watching.
