The food and service was outstanding and you couldn't ask for a better view. Our server, Casey was great. I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass and my husband ordered the scallops. Both entrees were delicious. We plan to return next time we're in town. read more

A Myrtle Beach staple that my family continues to visit year after year. The service and food quality are always consistent every time. I only wish they would change things up a bit more, and make their menu a bit more exciting. Regardless, I will continue to come back as I appreciate the beach-side charm atmosphere. read more

Food is delicious. Our table had the catch of the day and the grouper which came with seasoned rice and well seasoned broccolini. The fish was simply but perfectly prepared. The she crab soup was also delicious. We were stuck at an awkward table in a small back bar area that was not enjoyable at all. The mojitos which are highlighted on the menu were not good. If we were to go back, which we would not I'd make sure to call and reserve a table that had a view. There are quite a lot of tables that do not. Overall the fish is delicious but it's way over priced and the 'ambience' is hit or miss. read more

The ambiance and staff were wonderful, and we greatly enjoyed the Bang Bang Shrimp and hush puppies. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal was disappointing. The calamari was dry, tough, and completely lacking in seasoning. There were four of us, and we all ordered the stuffed flounder. While the crab stuffing was delicious, each piece of flounder was dry and burnt on the bottom. The baked potatoes were also burnt on the bottom while somehow still having undercooked areas. We were looking forward to trying a new restaurant with our daughter and her fiancé, but we left underwhelmed and with a much lighter wallet. We don't mind paying for an expensive meal when the quality matches the price, but unfortunately, that wasn't our experience this time. read more

"Sea Captain's House" is a breakfast, lunch, and dinner restaurant right on the beach in Myrtle Beach. It has been there for a long long time. We have been going to this establishment for over 35 years. It never disappoints. It's an easy walk from a multitude of resorts and a very easy drive from all of them. It always has plenty of easy parking. Our favorite thing to do is go for an early breakfast. They open at 7:30 am. The dunes and gardens between the full glass wall in the back and the beach is has a fantastic view. It is so peaceful and calming. I love to sit with a cup of morning coffee and just look out at the ocean. Sunrise over the Atlantic is marvelous. If you ever vacation in Myrtle Beach make sure "Sea Captain's House" is one of your stops. read more

Location, location, location! And great food too! This place has some bad reviews but I went with my gut and tried it anyways. The only reason I'm not giving this place 5 stars is because the service has room for improvement and my chowder was room temp The food overall is excellent and the view can't be beat. There was live music which is always a plus in my book. I say check this Sea Captain out for yourself. There wasn't a long wait which is rare on the beach and we didn't have a reservation. read more

This review is based on my wife's recent visit here for dinner. Bonus was the young man about 20 performing live music which she really enjoyed and said made her dining experience even better. The complimentary hush puppies she said we great and usually she is not a big fan of them. Other highlights were the salad and coconut cake. She ordered the pasta dish and said it was good but regretted she just didn't get the fried flounder and shrimp combination. Her waitress was friendly and attentive, and the outside dining area was nice with the live music and ocean breeze. Overall, she had a great experience. read more

This is our 43rd Anniversary trip. We were married in Myrtle Beach. This was supposed to be the pièce de résistance evening. We chose poorly. Reservations were made in advance. We made sure they knew why. We asked for a table with an ocean view. The hostess was indifferent and somewhat rude. The atmosphere was loud and chaotic. Our waiter was great but very busy with all the tables assigned to him. Not fully engaged. I observed the way it was functioning... there was a manager overseeing with an iPad... you had waiters, servers, busboys, all running around to meet some sort of timetable I guess. More of a push them through as fast as you can than an experience worth savoring. Now the food... incredible. Truly top-notch. Just no personal touch. Just get them in and out. And this was a Wednesday night! Never again. read more

If you want a nice place to eat with a pretty view then this is your restaurant! Parking is across the street. I went here during off season so I can't attest to how it is when all the visitors arrive. Our wait was just a few minutes. They sat us in a beautiful enclosed porch area. It was a beautiful ocean view! I got the breakfast buffet. It wasn't a huge one but it came with eggs your way. I got the omelet made to order, it was delicious! The fruit and other items were fancy and fresh. The price was right, under $20 visited December/2025 read more

We were on a beach adventure- just visiting beaches from Myrtle upward. With a quick online reservation, we were in and seated in no time at all, when we anticipated a wait of some sort due to how busy things had been in the area that evening. The waiter was amazing- very accommodating and friendly. There was a live musician in the outdoor area that was great and audience oriented. We had the Summer Breeze drink, which was delicious! That was all lovely, but the food was absolutely phenomenal! We didn't realize hush puppies were a provided table item, so that was a pleasant surprise. They were fresh and their butter accompaniment made them even better! We split the mussels appetizer and the shrimp and crab papardelle entree. Everything was absolutely exceptional and hands-down one of the best dining experiences I've ever experienced. Would love to come back again and again! read more

We had reservations on a busy Thursday night because there were five of us for dinner. Most of the rooms look out over the Atlantic, which is lovely. They asked if we wanted to sit outside - the tables looked like plastic, plus it was hot and windy - so, no thanks. We were seated in the bar which worked out well because it was much quieter than the din in the other rooms. Our server was great, drinks were good, but I think we were all a little disappointed with our food. Pasta with seafood desperately needed seasoning. I had fried flounder, mostly because it was advertised with a side of collard greens. I was in the mood for some good southern cooking; unfortunately, the collards were strangely sweet & had none of the savory taste I love. It came with two large pieces of fried flounder. It also had an odd taste. You know what was good? The fries. We all passed on dessert. read more

This is a place where you go to for the view and not the food. We came here with a reservation to celebrate my birthday but honestly was still a bit stuffed from our late lunch. Complimentary hush puppies are decent. Seafood platter was a bit disappointing. There wasn't a lot of seafood on the plate. I think they have this labeled as an entree. It's lacking flavor too. The hummingbird cake is interesting. Never had anything like it! It has banana, pineapple, pecans and cream cheese frosting. The first few bites are good but it is a massive slice and my husband and I couldn't finish. If you come here expecting spectacular food, you will be disappointed. There is a parking lot only for guests of Sea Captain's House (so only park here if you are dining in or else you may get towed). There's a beach right behind. read more

Very underwhelming, my son ordered a filet, we had made note on the reservation that it was his birthday and they never acknowledged it. My husbands ribeye was fatty and just ok, my stuffed flounder which the waitress said was one of the most popular dishes was so dry and fishy, there was supposed to be a sauce and there was barely any. The only solid parts were the wine and hush puppies. read more

My husband's boss brought us here for dinner one weeknight evening. His wife joined us and (of course) the company was paying. I believe he had made a reservation as we were seated immediately upon our arrival. We had a slight ocean view. Our waiter brought us our menus and water. Everyone but me ordered Surf & Turf ($48 each)...I didn't particularly want shrimp so I just ordered the filet ($47). When the food came out, we ALL had surf & turf. I'm not sure if it was an honest mistake or if the waiter thought adding 6 shrimp for a $1 was a good deal (which it is)...but what if I had been allergic to shellfish? I didn't say anything though. The steak was just ok. It came with one side which was just OK as well. I think that I would have been even more disappointed if I had been paying the bill rather than my husband's employer. I had looked at the drink menu online before going and was very interested in trying the Blue Mule but it was not on the menu when we got ready to order. I asked the waiter and he had no idea what I was talking about. So I got a classic mule and it was really good. We got a second round of drinks and the waiter offered to make my mule spicy...which was just adding fresh jalapenos, but that was quite tasty! We finished our meal but were not quite ready to end the evening so we went over the bar that's also part of the restaurant. There I had an espresso martini which was not as good as the mule but better than OK. I wonder if we should have ordered seafood at the Sea Captains House? The bathrooms were lovely and quite clean so they had that going for them as well. Overall I was underwhelmed. The drinks and company were excellent though! read more

Nov. 2025 Sea Captain -- My wife and I were in town and decided to stop in for one of our usual visits. We sat at the bar (as we often do), had a drink, ordered some She-Crab soup and hush puppies, and shared a fish meal with rice. The bartender was very nice and took good care of us. The soup was very good, as always -- though, for the price, I felt it could've had a little more crab meat. The hush puppies were good too. For the main course, we got a pecan-crusted fish, but honestly it was a little heavy-handed: the crust was all over -- deep-fried -- instead of being simply broiled with the pecan topping just on top. The sauce helped a lot, though, and the fish was tasty; the rice was just rice. Next time we go, we'll probably try a different main course along with the soup. read more

This place I will say is definitely a nice place for date. We had the option to eat outside with the beautiful view but decided to dine inside because of the wait. We were pleasantly surprised that they offered us hush puppies as a light appetizer which is such a southern thing to do. The grouper could have used a tad bit more seasoning but still was good and properly cooked. The fries with my marinated chicken was definitely the star of the show. Keep in my they have like 3 different menus depending on the time you show up. Our server was very attentive and made sure we always had refills when we were running low. I definitely would give this place a go and you should too if you're in town soaking up some sun! read more

We had a lovely server named Ariel. Super friendly and efficient. The restaurant is very pretty and comfortable. We enjoyed the views. Hushpuppies were so yummy! Everyone enjoyed their food. I think we would add more seasoning to the fried fish and shrimp breading, we needed to add salt and pepper to give it a boost of flavor. Overall an enjoyable experience for a nicer meal out! read more

Good food and service! Our waitress was super friendly and accommodating, especially for our large group. I loved the shrimp berry salad and the key lime pie. Would definitely return! read more

1) Asked server if bartender knew how to make a Mai-Tai. She said yes. Bartender did not. We got charged $30 for 2 horrible drinks. 2) Asked server what the best dish on the menu was. She said Prime Ribeye, so we ordered 2. It was not prime. Tough, chewy, overcooked with "smashed potatoes" which consisted of dry overly cooked whole potatoes that had nothing on them. We took a couple of bites and then asked for the check. We were celebrating our anniversary so it was a big disappointment since there were so many other better choices we could have made. On the positive, the view was nice. read more

Came here with my friend (we were from out of town) on our first night in for a nice dinner. We were seated by a window which was lovely to have a nice view. Our server was a sweet heart but I unfortunately forgot his name - order gentleman.. so kind. Honestly everyone in the restaurant was so sweet - we were about the last table there & my friend unfortunately fainted and everyone made sure she was okay and brought her drinks/cold towels. I appreciate them all! That happened at the end of our meal so we fortunately were able to enjoy ourselves beforehand. The food was DELICIOUS! We were craving seafood and that's exactly what we got. No disappointments/complaints whatsoever. Love that they give yummy little hush puppies for starters as well! read more

We went on a girls trip to MB and we went to Sea Captains for dinner. We called to make a reservation and they do not take them for parties over 6, but told us to arrive before 6 and we would be able to get a table. We were seated immediately outside when we arrived. There was live music and amazing views. I ordered the Caesar salad and added chicken. It was sooo good! Everyone's food was delicious. The one complaint we all had were the drinks. They were brought out in plastic cups so they didn't stay cold. We had excellent service and we would all go back! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sea Captain's House! We had our vow renewal dinner here, and they truly outdid themselves. We were able to have a private event room for our family, which made such a special night feel even more intimate and perfect. We had the absolute time of our lives! The food was incredible, the staff was so kind and attentive, and everything was better than I could have imagined. They helped make one of the most meaningful nights of our lives unforgettable. If I could give them more than five stars, I absolutely would! read more

We came to Sea Captain's House excited for a nice oceanfront dinner... and left with a new appreciation for moisture in food. First, the "Gluten Free & Vegetarian" menu boldly promises that vegetarian items will be marked with a (V). Fantastic! Love that! One small detail: none of the items on the menu had a V. Not one. It felt like a scavenger hunt where the treasure never existed. My husband and I had a good laugh about that. As a vegetarian, my grand feast consisted of a Caesar salad, baked potato, and the vegetable of the day (which we were told was broccolini). What arrived was asparagus that appeared to have just completed a marathon through the Sahara. Dry, tired, and clearly ready for retirement. The server kindly removed it from the bill, which I appreciated. The baked potato was actually good... but only while the cheese and sour cream lasted. Once those heroes disappeared, the potato was left to face the world alone. My husband ordered the blackened seafood platter at the server's recommendation. Unfortunately the seafood had the texture of something that had been negotiating with the grill for far too long. Imagine seafood jerky, but sadder. The bright spot of the evening was our server, who was friendly, attentive, kept our water glasses full, and handled the asparagus situation with grace. So if you're looking for great service and a menu that unintentionally doubles as a comedy prop, you may enjoy the experience. If you're looking for juicy seafood and actual vegetarian options... you might want to keep sailing. read more

We had another outstanding meal this year when visiting Myrtle Beach with our brother and his wife. We were seated on the enclosed patio overlooking the water, and it was beautiful! My husband and I both had a cup of their she-crab soup. It was thick, creamy, and delicious, with chunks of crab and a hint of nutmeg. For our entrees, he had the Cioppino and I had the Avocado Seafarer, both repeats from our last visit. I liked the simplicity of the Avocado Seafarer -- it was healthy and yet very tasty. The Cioppino had a rich broth and was full of seafood. Both were winners! I asked our server if the bar could make an elderflower gimlet, and it was outstanding. My husband's Minty Mule was good as well. Our server went out of the way to make us feel welcomed and to accommodate our requests (like my brother-in-law's request for vinegar for his fries, and my elderflower gimlet). She was delightful, and made our experience special. Parking was a breeze, with two (free) lots just across the street from the restaurant. We'll definitely return again next year when we visit MB with family! read more

The she crab soup with Sherry is fantastic!!!! We enjoyed the lil hush puppies with honey butter. Those were tasty. I was looking forward to crab cakes but they only had crabcake sandwiches during lunch. So I thought if I just don't get the bread, I still get the crabcake...but it was tiny and very bready. The picture online is probably the dinner version. I'd love to try dinner menu to give the crabcakes another chance at swaying my opinion of their crabcake. Hubby got the shrimp and fish. But he said only the shrimp was really good. I wouldn't go for lunch unless I go for the She crab soup! That was sooo good! read more

Sea bass and scallops outstanding. Server very good. Fried green tomatoes with jam bacon a real appetizer treat.

We went for the Mother's Day brunch. Was initially disappointed because we couldn't get the time we preferred but all was great in the end. The food! My husband loved the prime rib, Cole slaw, and potatoes. I loved the biscuits and gravy, ham, and fried shrimp. Just excellent. Server, despite being obviously very busy, was attentive and helpful. And the view! Loved everything. read more

We went here for Mother's Day as treat the Saturday before Mother's Day to treat our Moms! They thoroughly enjoyed it! Service, wasn't bad overall we rate it 7/10. Front desk to check in 10/10. Our server Brielle tweaked that rating a little bit because although she was very thorough; I don't if she's just use to fast pace serving or what. We would've just appreciated it if she slowed down to take our orders and when we asked for stuff, if it didn't come off so pushy and hurry hurry type vibe. Out of that overall a great experience for our Moms and husband and I! Food 10/10! There weren't no complaints on that. read more

Came here on the recommendation of a friend and it didn't disappoint! From the moment you walk up to this cute quaint cottage you are warmly greeted with southern hospitality and charm. Indoor and outdoor seating available. We sat on the covered back green room With a beautiful view of the ocean! You're welcomed with an appetizer size of warm hush puppies and honey butter! Plenty of seasonal cocktails and drinks and a whole lot of great seafood options! Service was very quick. A team approach is what we saw and we never waited long for food. Very fresh high quality seafood. I was skeptical about the fries scollops but they were just fried enough to still enjoy the pan sear quality. Thanks to the team for recognizing I we were celebrating a birthday! Sorry I'm posting the after picture of the dessert it was so good! Highly recommend this place for an amazing seafood experience and great dining! read more

Historic buildings, several levels and a hotel, it has kept its classic charm. We came early, without reservations on a weekday... we were quickly seated, which was a pleasant surprise. The large dining area has plenty of natural light and looks out to the ocean. There are several levels and it was just starting to fill up at 5pm. Very pleasant, nice servers, our server offered suggestions of Crab Cakes and drinks. Lots of fresh fish choices. Crab cakes were full of crab and not much filler, would have liked more flavor- seasoning, bread crumbs, onion etc. perfect for a purist. There is an outdoor bar area, lots of chairs, tables, umbrellas, with live music. read more

Vacationing in Myrtle Beach with three of my friends, we had the pleasure of eating dinner at the Sea Captain's House. I had the scallops rice and broccolini. The hush puppies are amazing. The food was delicious and the service was great. I want to compliment our waitress Lillian S. We notice right away that she was smiling and attentive to all of our needs. She acknowledged all of us. She was polite and attentive to our needs. She would refill my water right away asked if there was anything else that we needed. What was really a surprise was she said she was having a bad day and we all told her we could not tell. We were very appreciative and wanted to make sure we informed the manager about her great work ethic and how pleased we were with Lillie. read more

Atmosphere is great BUT good quality was very disappointing. We made reservations based on reviews. Mahi was super dry, grouper was the star of the show. My daughter doesn't eat seafood, ordered ribeye instead. Ordered medium, came out well done and so tough we couldn't cut it. Sent it back, came out pink but still so tough she couldn't eat it. Our server never checked on us (I had to call her over), never offered to refill our drinks until I asked for the check. We asked for another iced tea but never received it. When the check was brought she asked if we needed a box for the uneaten steak. I politely said "no thank you. It was still too tough to eat". She said sorry then brought the check. For a $140 meal, I was terribly disappointed. This is probably the 3rd negative review I've ever left a restaurant and take no pleasure in doing so now. It was a one and done for me for sure! read more

Glad I made a reservation, I was immediately seated and service was polite and prompt. I had the flounder platter, broiled. The 2 medium sized pieces of flounder were cooked, but dry and very salty. They had no other seasoning to speak of, and given the prices and atmosphere it was a poor presentation. I can't see returning here the food is not worth the effort or the parking hassle. read more

I was glad to find a non-buffet seafood spot in Myrtle Beach, but this was a letdown. The hush puppies were good, and the crab cake was just okay -- a bit too much mayo. The Chilean sea bass was inedible: chewy, fatty, and mostly solid fat in the middle. The manager apologized and gave 60% off just the sea bass, but I still ended up paying about $15 for a few bites of vegetables. To top it off, I later heard my server mention a snapper special I was never told about. I would have gotten that and potentially avoid this horrific experience and having to go get more food elsewhere after.Really disappointing experience overall. read more
