Review Guidelines
Basic Review Guidelines:

Your review should focus on specific aspects of the business you are reviewing. Do not simply state you liked or disliked the business - be specific.

The best reviews include not only whether you liked or disliked a business' products or service, but also why.

DO NOT TYPE IN ALL CAPS!

Do not mention competing company names in your reviews. Focus on the company you are reviewing, and if you wish, leave a review about the other companies on their directory listings.

Do not comment on other reviews - respect their position and write your own, but do not argue with others.

Do not use profanity or post spiteful remarks.

Do not write a review that is less than 50 words in length. The goal of a review is to share your experiences with a particular company - very short reviews do not accomplish this.

Do not post phone numbers, email addresses or URLs.

Do not post inflammatory reviews - stop and put yourself in the shoes of the owner of the business you are posting about.

Do not post many reviews about one business. Doing this will cause all of your reviews to be deleted.

Remember, you are responsible for your words.

Adding new reviews is currently disabled while we work on launching a new website.

Okay if you like seafood
By an NCBeaches Guest on 1/25/2009
We visit this place at least once during our visit each year. It reminds you of eating at a bingo hall. For those in our group who love seafood- it's wonderful. For those who don't, you pay alot for not much non-seafood selection. The place needs to be enlarged and cleaned. There is always food all over the floor and appears unsanitary. You are rushed when there. The food always pleases the seafood lovers, though! Lot of crablegs for the price!

Great Family Restaurant
By OBX tourist on 9/28/2008
Wow. I am also shocked by the prior reviews. Our family was down to the OBX and we are a large group. We all have different taste so when we saw the ad for Jimmy's Buffet we decided to go there. There was definately something for EVERYONE

Disappointed.
By A July Visitor on 9/27/2008
We were disappointed this past year. The price has gone up; it's a little steep for someone who is dining with the family but doesn't eat seafood. What I really didn't like was that we felt we were herded out so that another table could be seated. My daughter didn't get to finish her drink before it was removed from in front of her; I was still seated at the table while it was being cleaned for the next customers. They were seating themselves while I was getting up. After dining there for a number of years, I feel that there are other places on the Outer Banks where we can get a better value, with a better menu selection, without feeling like we are herded through like cattle to a feeding trough.

We went in August and it was not what we expected. We were VERY dissappointed with the non-seafood items on the buffet. There was nothing for them to eat, especially for the price. The seafood even at opening time was not very fresh. The waitress offered two items from the kitchen, but never offered after the first came (nor told us what was available). Drink refills were lacking as well. If all you want is crab legs then this is the place for you. If you want variety and tasty seafood, this isn't going to be your best dining experience at OBX.

Great seafood buffet
By Woodslass on 9/21/2008
I'm also shocked at the reviews. The entire restaurant has had a nice upgrade since we were there in April 07. Margaritas are very very good, service in long tall tubes. Great variety, all kinds of seafood cooked different ways. Place was packed, but we got a table within 5 minutes. Waiter was very busy, so he forgot to bring us silverware at first, but he was friendly and came by often. King crab was always fresh and hot, sides were good, and the fried shrimp was very tasty. Price is also good, not often you can eat your fill of King Crab for $30!

love it!
By an NCBeaches Guest on 9/17/2008
Shocked when read other reviews. Ate there last yr for the first time. Went for early bird for free lobster tail. Place became busy but the food was great, service was good with the waitress always filling our drinks & removing our shells. where else can you go & eat $30 of all the seafood, etc you want?

Great Curbside Service
By an NCBeaches Guest on 7/4/2008
We picked up steamed buckets to go last year and the food was great. Plan to do it again next year. Quality and quantity were good.

TERRIBLE!!!!!
By Guest on 6/3/2008
This place was awful!!! Buffet food looked like it had been frozen and thawed in microwave. Horrible food. No one asked how our meal was probably because they didn't want to hear how bad it really was. VERY OVERPRICED (29.99/adult) for lousy food. We will NEVER go back to eat there!!!

Waited in line for almost an hour. Once inside I knew it was a bust. The food was horrible and the service was not much better. Could not believe that people were still waiting in line. Stay away from this place and spend your money elsewhere.

Agree--Stinks, nasty place needs to be cleaned and service not good. Waiter did not care about concerns. Fried food over cooked, but crablegs great, if you can get them warm.

By Sherry on 10/2/2007
This was one of the nastiest places I have ever been. They cleaned the air vent at a nearby table where people were sitting. Seafood was overcooked. Waitress had attitude and it did stink.

Not Worth the Wait
By Dave on 9/4/2007
Quite possibly the worst feeding trough on the OBX. The price isn't the advertised price and the food was disgusting.

Not Worth the Wait
By an NCBeaches Guest on 5/1/2007
After waiting about a half hour to get a table, our party walked into chaos! The floor was filthy with food that hadn't been cleaned up. We had to stand and wait while our table was cleaned off (sort of). The food was a few levels below a bus station cafeteria in appearance and taste. Don't waste your money.

This Resteraunt Stinks, literally
By an NCBeaches Guest on 3/27/2007
This is an overpriced seafood buffet, you walk in and the smell, in my opinion, was horrific. It wasn;t that fresh seafood smell. It was way overpriced for the quality of the food.
