Went to hooks in mb had the all you can eat lobster, it was great I ate 10, also the buffet was the best in myrtle beach, I ate at other buffets and none compared too hooks.. Sep 08th, at To who this may concern my family and i was on vacation in mrytle beach last month, and while there we eat at your restaurant twice, the food was awesome best food i had in myrtle beach, and the staff is some friendly nice, cant remember the names of the waitress that serve us while we where their,but they did a very good job, and the next time i visit myrtle beach i will be eating at your restaurant again.
Aug 08th, at 9: Louisville, KY By: Do yourself a favor and eat dinner elsewhere. Basically just a Chinese buffet style with seafood, oh yea, the All You Can eat lobster Definitely not worth it: Jun 27th, at We vacationed in mb last summer, found hooks to be the best seafood buffet we have tried period I cant believe the bad reviews ive read here,we found none of the negitive things people said about hooks to be true, and cant wait to come back to eat there again Jun 16th, at 7: Fort Mill, SC By: Ate there with my mother and two children and feel that they surely curtail their "Market Price" for the buffet based on what is sitting at the table.
The food was horrible, my 6 yr old daughter got sick that very evening after dining there and I would surely not recommend this establishment to absolutely no one!! That was by far the worst seafood I have ever tasted and have to agree with another comment I read about having better seafood at a fast seafood restaurant.
All I have expressed here probably goes to explain why the place was not crowded, lots of empty tables!!!! No recommendations here on this restaurant, go splurge somewhere else for sure!!!!! Jun 02nd, at 7: Nazareth, PA By: My boyfriend and i went to Hooks for the first time. We had the buffet with the Lobster. The food was awesum, and our waitress Alicia W was the greatest. Definately, and we will b back next yr for sum more food and fun.
Jun 01st, at Nashville, TN By: My husband and I visited this restaurant during our stay at Myrtle Beach and were hoping for some good seafood. This was some of the worst seafood I have ever eaten. The shrimp was underdone, and just about everything else was overdone. It's pretty bad when seafood tastes like dry chicken. We complained to the manager who basically said it was our fault and walked away.
It is extremely overpriced. I've had much better seafood at fast food seafood restaurants. Save your money and go elsewhere! May 31st, at 8: Medina, OH By: When I lived in Myrtle Beach I loved to eat at Hooks now that I have moved away every time I return for a visit that is the first place that I want to come eat. I have been away now for two years and will be in town come Friday and will be there to eat on friday night to eat.
Great Place to eat crab legs!!!! May 30th, at Flowery Branch, GA By: Excellent selection on buffet, food was fresh and warm. Crab legs were great. Service was friendly and kept table clean, drinks filled and clean plates were abundant. May 20th, at 7: Angola, IN By: We were seated instantly upon arrival on a Thursday evening at approx 5: Our waitress was very attentive and concerned about our dinner service. The crab legs were all very hot, juicy and flavorfull. So flavorfull I didnt need butter.
Again not so. Pawley's Island, SC By: Dec 01st, at We enjoyed the food as much as our waitress. I try to eat here every year when visiting Myrtle Beach.
The Sweet potato fries were excellant and peel and eat shrimp were chilled perfectly. When the 1st 2 Lobsters came my wifes was not good. Remember this id a buffet, if there is something that isnt right tell somone. She kept pout iced teas full and then some. The desserts were wonderful. I tried the rib eye steak The clams were great and the soups were good too. This was our 2nd time there and we will go back. May 09th, at 2: Warrenton, NC By: I have to say that last year on two seperate trips we ate Hook's and both times the food was very enjoyable, the staff was great and the price is not all that bad.
My kids are geared up and ready to go right now. Maybe we can squeeze in two trips this year as well. See you soon. Apr 06th, at 1: Brockville, ON By: We really appreciated your establishment. You are 1 in our books, as far as freshness, quality, quantity, service and the overall look of your restaurant. We inquired and that his the reason we went in for dinner. Thank you and we will be back. Mar 22nd, at Me and my boyfriend went and got the buffet.
The food was cold from sitting out and was not very appetizing. We've had much better food for the same price or less elsewhere. The service wasn't great. Overall, not impressed. Would not eat there again. Mar 15th, at 6: My wife and I own a time share in myrtle beach, we drove by hooks and they had a sign that read "all you can eat lobster" well me being the seafood lover we went there, it was great I ate 27 whole lobsters and lots of roasted oysters, if you love seafood go here Feb 21st, at 3: This is my second time eating at Hook's and I have to say that I enjoyed it both times.
I would recommend it to anyone if you are looking for just a good variety of food. Oct 13th, at 8: Little River, SC By: This place is amazing I love it! I highly reccommend! Oct 12th, at 8: This place is awesomee! Sep 27th, at 4: Raleigh, NC By: I was very dissapointed to find that their early bird coupon did not apply to the all you can eat lobster.
Didn't think that 4. Sep 17th, at 4: Augusta, GA By: We ate there last night and it just about killed us. OMG, I don't know if it was the grease or something was bad because our stomachs hurt all that night and all today. I hope this was an isolated incident and no one else that the same experience. Sep 05th, at 3: Cary, NC By: First time here. We were driving down Hwy. Saw the sign, said, why not. Good decision. We have gone to another buffet up Hwy 17, like the place there.
But for the money Hooks is good. We have definitely added another seafood place to our list. The waitress was great. The overall staff looked like they were enjoying themseleves. Food was good, selection was good. Aug 26th, at 2: Best dessert bar around cleanest restaurant and best variety of seafood have never been disappointed in a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 9 plus thanks for great food and service ref: Jul 30th, at 1: Charlotte, NC By: We had a large group and were looking to go to a seafood buffet dinner without breaking the bank.
This place isn't as large as a lot of the other big seafood buffets in town but I'd rather pay a little less and do without the extras like lobster or caviar. All of the food was very good. The fried clams and fried calamari were especially good. Every piece was tender. There is something for everyone. They had broiled selections like mahi and salmon for those that are health conscious. They also had steak and pulled pork which was also very good.
We will definitely return here. Jul 26th, at 1: Jul 15th, at 3: Social Circle, GA By: My family ate here during our vacation to Myrtle Beach recently because it had come very highly recommended. We won't be back! It was the worse food we had ever tried to eat. I am not sure where all the items were that they list that is supposedly on their buffet. It was not fresh food period.
I had a piece of NY Strip steak that was like trying to eat leather and the seafood was very bland. Jul 05th, at 7: Jun 21st, at 7: Decatur, AL By: I would go again if I ever came back to Myrtle Beach. My husband is a big seafood lover even though I am not. He loved the crab legs and the large selection they had to offer. I pretty much had a lot of salad, corn on the cob and okra. The waitress was great and always stopped by to check on us. Jun 12th, at Bee, VA By: This restaurant was recommended to me by my daughter who had visited there previously.
Four members of our party of eight were sickened from the food. We basically narrowed this down to the shrimp on the salad bar as each sick person had consumed that. Also, there were no oysters available as advertised and the main reason I chose to eat at this restaurant.
We were not informed that oysters were not available until after we began our salad or I would have most likely have left. If you choose to go to Hook's be prepared and bring along the Pepto. I for one will never eat at this establishment again. May 31st, at Asheville , NC By: A couple of bad reviews almost made me skip this kinda pricey buffet.
Talked to some of the locals and decided to give it a shot. The food was excellent and surprisingly good quality for a buffet. I did not find a single item on the buffet that was "dried out" "overcooked," etc. Well worth the money and very clean as well. Will go back on my next trip. May 04th, at 8: Charleston , SC By: We have eaten here before and were not impressed with our waitress. She always had an angry look on her face until a man that looked to be the manager would walk by and then she would turn on her happy face! Too funny!
Anyways, we went back to eat there because the food is excellent. Our waitress this time was great! Cups were never empty, plates always there and our table was kept clean. She went above and beyond to make us happy. We have now told all of our friends to go their and ask for Michelle and to expect great food and great service! Thank goodness for a great comeback!
Apr 07th, at 2: Lebanon , IN By: When we walked into the restaurant, the hostess was very kind. She walked us to the table immediately. Our waitress was named Tina. She was wonderful! She told us all the specials that were going on and she was very sociable! We ordered the Unlimited crab and buffet.
We chowed. We definitely got our moneys worth. They also had meat there for people who didn't like seafood! This worked out perfectly with our group! The food was always hot and fresh! Its perfect for a group of people to go and have a wonderful seafood or meat meal! Apr 01st, at 1: This is now one of my favorite restaurants in Myrtle Beach.
I recommend trying all the types of shrimp they have. The prices were very afforable for a family of 5. Apr 01st, at Greenville, SC By: My family came to eat supper at Hook's for the first time March 13, The food was excellent and so was our server. Pretty sure his name was Brad. He knew what we needed before we even had to ask. Our glasses were never empty and he kepy our table clean. He suggested the lobster special and we were so glad we took his advice. It was delicious!
He was very curtiuos to our family and took special interest in my grandson. We've come to Myrtle Beach every year for vacation for the past 7 years and have never had such good seafood and service! I definately recommend this place to anyone looking to eat some good seafood, especially the lobster and crab legs! It's rare to get wonderful service and food at the same time. We'll definately be back next year. Hope to see Brad still there! If anyone reads this and decides to eat at Hook's, definately ask for Brad!
You won't be sorry. Mar 19th, at 7: Winter Haven , FL By: Our server "JOSE" was a very well trained and his manners was awesome. The food was delicious and the crab legs were out of this world! Our server JOSE knew exactly what we need before we asked, it was like he could read our minds,we did not want for anything. The whole place was awesome. We noticed that when jose was not at somoeones table he was stirring food,sweeping up food that people dropped on the floor. JOSE really knew what he was doing. Feb 15th, at Burlington, NC By: We came for his b-day. We did not wait long and the food was great!
The people were all very friendly! Our waitress was Michelle.
We will be back to eat again. All of the staff was great! I would recommend Hooks to anyone! Oct 14th, at 7: We have been eating at Hooks for 5 years. This year was horrible. We were there on around 4: The food was greasy and like it was left over and reheated. My daughter-in-law got sick and threw up. We got up and explained it to the gentleman at the door and our waitress and they were like o well. Talking about bad customer service We were in this restaurant for around 30 minutes. Never been so disappointed in my life. We eat out times a week so we know good food and service Sorry we will not be back!!
We will go back there!! Oct 13th, at 5: I would have to say that this is the place to go!! She went above and beyond to take care of our family. Wendy should be the manager of this place! By the way she took care of us you would of thought that she owned this place. She would go and get us food from the kitchen that was just cooked and bring it out to our table. We heard a table next to ours that asked their waitress for some more crab legs because there were not any on the bar and their waitress told them that they would have to keep looking on the bar for them to come out.
I thought that was rude because Wendy would go to the kitchen and bring us food. I heard the table next to us say that they wished that they would of got the waitress that we had because they had saw Wendy bring us out our food. I guess we really lucked up by getting Wendy to wait on our table!! We will go back to Hooks every time we are at Myrtle Beach!! I would suggest this restaurant to anyone as I do!! I tell everyone to make sure to go to Hook!! Sep 25th, at Hooks is my favorite place to eat in Myrtle Beach!!
They have the best buffett and the staff is always friendly and refill drinks without evening having to ask! I have chosen to have my wedding reception there this comming October for all of the reasons listed above! Cant wait! Aug 06th, at 9: Charleston, SC By: Every time we go to MB we go to Hook's. We even drive from Charleston where we live to dine at Hook's.
Jul 16th, at 1: I took my family to Hook's last week and I must say that the food and service was exceptional. The only problem we had was that one of the waitresses children were running around the restaurant the whole time and being very obnoxious and disruptive. I took my family out to try and enjoy a nice relaxing and quite meal I don't understand why the manager would allow this to take place, but it doesn't seem like a very good business practice to me. Jul 08th, at 8: Being a local I know good seafood.
This was okay nothing more, A party of 4 adults we got there at 4pm, the broiled fish was dry, the boiled shrimp were average. Hooks just did not cut the mustard, the food was of poor quaility and the steak that my mom had was too tough.
Myrtle Beach, SC Hooks Calabash has been locally owned and operated for 15 years. We take pride in serving quality food and giving. View more coupons from Hooks Calabash Seafood Buffet. $3 Off Must present printed coupon to host upon arrival. Coupon good for all adults in your party.
And to charge extra for the drinks is ridiculous. I will say service was excellent but that is about it ref: Jun 03rd, at 6: New Waterford, OH By: We were looking for one of the best seafood buffets and decided even though Hooks had a lot of bad reviews we would try it out because it was within walking distance. It was excellent. It wasnt a busy place but I could see why with the reviews. I would go back and I do highly recommend it. They have excellent excellent food!!! Garner, NC By: We eat here every trip to Myrtle Beach which is xs a yr. Great price for buffet with crab legs compared to some others in the area.
Usually quiet and have good enough wait staff. We go for the crab legs mostly. Apr 18th, at 3: Brevard , NC By: Hooks resturant crab legs were awful and the ice cream machine was broke i will never eat there again it was horrible Mar 25th, at 9: California, PA By: My fiancee and I went to Hook's and it was terrible!
I have been to Myrtle Beach many many times and I wanted to try something new. From the outside, I thought this would be a great place to take my fiancee. When we got inside, there were weren't many people inside and it took about fifteen minutes for anyone to even seat us. We had our drinks filled once. I love seafood and I was very disappointed with everything!
The only good thing was the noise level. Feb 10th, at 5: Fort Erie, ON By: We found it to be the worst buffet ever! There was very little to choose from. The ribs and Chicken had thick bbq sauce smothered all over it. The crab legs were put out a few at a time, making it almost impossible to get any unless you were standing there when they put them out. I had to ask for scallops, the waiter then told me they were making them and they would come out, never did see any. The shrimps were not cleaned, disgusting.
The desserts were nothing either. I heard several complaints from other people that were in the restaurant at this time. We will not ever go back to this restaurant. Dec 23rd, at 2: Asheville, NC By: We came down looking to get away from the Christmas craziness. Hooks was wonderful and even though most of the food is fried, it was well cooked.
FYI I graduated culinary school and might be more familiar with proper cooking then other posters. The crab legs were unflavored, which is a mistake many restaurants make.
