    Buffet

    Lived by this place, always busy. I decided to try it yesterday. The have a menu but mostly a buffet. I saw patrons eating crab legs and the waitress said they were on buffet. So, I got the buffet. 3 steam tables with a limited amount of actual seafood. Mostly fried chicken, sides, and desserts. NO CRAB LEGS! Asked another server who told me they cost extra. Ok, tried some fried and sauted seafood, everything was bland. Long story short, I got sick as a dog last night, woke me up around 3am and upchucked everything. So, 0 stars for $25 worth of bad food. And I never leave reviews.

    I heard about this restaurant from someone who raved about it. I stopped in today and I was greeted when I walked in, I was given a menu to order my takeout meal. I decided to have the seafood platter which had flounder, shrimp, scallop, oyster, crab. Catfish, hush puppies, fries and deviled crab. I have never heard of devil crab before. Just saying. This was a lot of food and I must tell you it looked and smells so good. They had forgotten to put the devil crab on and so the waitress followed me out of the door as I was getting into my car and she waved me down to get give it to me. The food was delicious. However, I could have done without the devil crab that was not my taste. They also have a buffet. That's what I will be having the next time I go in (and I will be going back.) it is definitely worth it.

    Cozy clean and well worth the visit. This is become our food date place. Highly recommend

    All you can eat crab leaves for $35!

    We returned for our annual Myrtle Beach vacation and had to come to Sea Man's again! Arrived on Wed night right at 5:00 and got a seat. 15 min later there was a line forming. The all you can eat crab legs were delicious- served hot! Had to order a side of hush puppies and my husband said they looked like they were on steroids - huge and so tasty! Cookie was our server and couldn't have been more pleasant. We will be back next year when we come to Myrtle Beach!

    I am now a regular at Sea Man's seafood.... Polite service, delicious food. Order pickup which is great & they also have a buffet. I order from the menu and it's usually ready when I arrive!

    Sea Man's is one of those hidden secrets that is tucked away on the side of the road just waiting to be found; and once you are inside, a buffet of seafood and comfort food awaits. They offer a buffet for $14.99 that includes a salad/dessert bar and 2 hot bars. They also offer all you can eat crab legs with the buffet for $47.99. We opted to go with the all you can eat crab legs and we were not disappointed. We tried a little bit of different dishes from the hot bar and there were no disappointments. If you aren't in the mood for a buffet, they do have a menu with different seafood options, burgers and kids meals. We were there mid-week and in the evening and service was a little lackluster. it was not busy at all and our server never came by our table even though he was out on the floor. For the all you can eat buffet option with the crabs, it is priced inline with some of the bigger buffets in the area but felt that for the size of the buffet they have, it was a little overpriced. We will definitely go back there and either do the regular buffet or order from the menu.

    I've been driving by this spot for years and it's always been packed... not regular packed but…read morepeople parked in the street and the road trying to get in packed. This Thursday I was heading up with the wife to buy some fish and we decided to go for it. Of course there was zero parking with a parade of cars in the parking lot waiting to pick up food, when my wife noticed a pick up truck right in front of the place about to exit. She sped right next to the spot and jumped in before anyone realized it. We're in...or so I thought. We strolled up and there were about 35 people sitting on benches and rocking chairs under a tent right in front of the place all waiting to get in. I figured this is not going to be easy. I went up to the hostess station and asked how long for a table for two and she said 35 minutes or so. I looked at my wife and gave her my name. I had to find out what all the hub bub was about. In about 30 minutes they shouted my name and I sprinted to the front door...I wasn't about to lose my table. In we went and we're shown a nice size table in the middle of the place. It kinda reminded me of a beachy mom and pop diner. The friendly waitress came to the table right away, gave us our menus, showed us the specials board and took a drink order. The menu was simple but had some choices on it. While we were thinking, she came back with our drinks and we quickly ordered an appetizer. In this case, onion rings. A few minutes later my wife settled on a crab cake app and a salad which she asked to be combined. I went for the soup of the day(NE clam chowder) and one of the specials...pork chops(I took my grilled not fried) with 3 sides, Lima beans, okra & tomatoes stewed and green beans. The meal came with a choice of cornbread or roll. I opted for the cornbread. In a flash, the onion rings came out followed by the soup. Now I do love me some onion rings and these were fantastic. Crispy, flavorful and not stringy. The soup was home made. Creamy with bits of clam and chunks of potato. No salt or pepper was needed as it came out steaming hot and perfect. It was a meal in itself and I ended up taking 3/4 home with me(something rarely do). After a few minutes, the main course came out. My wife dug into a very large homemade crab cake, chock full of crab meat and very flavorful. She loved it. The salad was fresh and crisp. My pork chops came out and the size of the plate shocked me. Now, I almost never talk about price but my plate was $12.49 and I got two large perfectly prepared, juicy pork chops with a healthy helping of the best okra and stewed tomatoes I ever had plus absolutely delicious green beans and tasty lima beans. What a deal! The only thing that wasn't above average was the corn bread which was a tad dry and plain. Most of the regulars opted for the home made roll(and the fried chicken which was being served at every table!). I was stuffed and had trouble finishing my plate. My wife who said she was full, managed to save enough room for dessert. Now everyone was eating the homemade peach cobbler so I suggested that. My wife never had it before and was thinking about the Oreo pie, but I persuaded her and she was glad I did. Instead of the usual whip cream she wanted vanilla ice cream with it and it was a fantastic combo. The cobbler came out piping hot and crumbly with sweet chunks of peaches that paired well with the cold vanilla ice cream. She attacked it so fast that I couldn't get a picture. I broke my own rules and dipped in for a few spoonfuls and I'm glad I did. It was heavenly. The bill came and I couldn't believe how reasonable it was. Now I know why you can't get into the joint. We paid our bill and gave the super friendly waitress a nice tip and were on our way. We will absolutely be back and will try to time it a bit better so we can find parking...or we'll take an Uber...it was that good.

    Everyone was so sweet and friendly! (We went with some…read morelunch combos via to-go ordering and our food came in +/- 7 minutes) The "Chicken Bog" is incredibly tasty & filling. The fried chicken is what Chic-fil-A wishes it could be. The collards and mac & cheese are both top-shelf recipes ... to the point that my 6-yo - not usually keen on either - ate more of them than his french fries (which were also good). The peach cobbler and banana pudding weren't pretentious by any means, but they were definitely elevated compared to the average blue plate sweet course. We'll be back for some fried seafood soon!

We skipped the appetizers because we had our sight set on dessert. I had the barbecue peach chicken breast with fresh Lima beans, corn and tomatoes, my husband had the bone-in pork chop with whipped sweet potatoes and a lovely cucumber/tomato salad. Every bite was flavorful, fresh and so enjoyable. The portions are large and usually we are asking for a to go box, tonight we hate the whole thing we did top it off with a delicious peach bread pudding topped with homemade peach ice cream, such a perfect ending! Normally, I'm not a bread pudding fan, however this place changed my mind. Did I mention our server was astute, knowledgeable and so attentive. We never waited for anything. The atmosphere is so cozy, relaxing and food was a delightful culinary experience. What a wonderful date night with my husband!!! We will be back again soon.
