Captain George's Seafood

I don't know what ""markholt"" is talking about. This place is great and has been for some time. Every time my family comes down, we eat at Captain Georges. The server calling you 'honey"" or ""baby"" just adds to the atmosphere of the restaurant and the area you're in. We have never had a complaint about this place. I love it and will continue to go back. The previously mentioned reviewer needs to remove that stick from their behind and lighten up. Not all servers are coke heads....maybe some, but not all. On top of that, they'er usually very attentive and alert, ready for just about anything. more

Okay, so last night my lovely wife wanted to do something nice for my birthday and take me to a suposedly wonderful Seafood Buffet. I am warning everyone in tidewater, DO NOT GO TO CAPTAIN GEORGE's. First off the food was terrible. The salmon was completely gross and over seasoned, topped with cheese? who wants tons of cheese on a perfectly good fish? Horrible! The crab legs were cold, not ""on ice alaskan king crab style cold"" we're talking taken out of the steamer and left to sit for a day cold. Not to mention there must have been over 1,000 people there. the foot traffic was horrible, it was complete chaos and a VERY stressful environment to have to pay $70. Cons: Everything I have posted more

I went to Virginia Beach the middle of Sept , while there I ate at Captain Georges Buffet ... My experience there was superb, I had the most pleasurable time and the food was fantastic.... You definately get what you pay for ... Our Waiter RICK WIDMERE was the best waiter one could possibly want , I never lacked for anything he made sure my visit was a great one ... Even as busy as the place was he made us feel at home and like we were his only customers.... We enjoyed our visit so much we went back a second time. I plan on returning next year and Captain Georges is first on my list .....Hats off to you RICK Pros: Waiter Rick Widmere, the seafood was amazing more

I went to Captain Georges the week of sept 15 th 2007 and I went twice that week ..I must say I recieved superb treatment.I had a waiter named Rick Widmer and he by far was the best waiter I have had in years .He was quick attentive .I never had to ask for a single thing.H e was very friendly and accomadateing and was a fine dineing waiter. The food was also superb and the selection was perfect something for everyone..cooked perfectly.I think the price was just fine and worth what I recieved..The resturant was clean buffet was well stocked and never went down and it was slamming when I was there.Employes where very good..A couple buffet workers where a little out of hand and not profesional but where pulled off the floor..the atmosphere was beautiful dome celings tables very pretty and seating areas where more than ample...Bathroom clean and well stocked..This is my third vist to this resturant and will not be my last regardless of price..You get what you pay for and I sure got mine...I am from Honeoye Falls NY and we come to Virginia for its beauty and for Captian Georges...Thank You Rick Withmer for superb service more

We were lucky cause 5 of our party were in line right as we walking in waiting to be seated so our wait was not long @ all. I have been to a few buffets in my time but this one was such let down. How much can one eat of crab legs and such in the small amount of time you have.? There were a huge selection of seafood mahi mahi, salmon, mushrooms, string beans, steamed blue shelled crabs, half shell oysters, etc just to name a few. I skipped the salad bar didn't come to eat salad..LOL I'm not a big eater and the buffet was way to expensive to me, but you did have the option to buy single orders and take out as well. Pros: Blue shelled crabs Cons: It is a buffet.., wait, noise level, more

First of all, the buffet is somewhat expensive (26 dollars for adults, half price for kids ages 12-and under, and toddlers are free), but, seafood is always going to be more expenisve no matter where you go. You are paying for variety and quality. You can't go to Ryan's or Golden Corral and load up on high quality seafood. (Usually you could just find one buffet dish of uncleaned, very small popcorn shrimp) or maybe fried catfish. There are actually MORE buffet lines at Capt Georges compared to the standard buffet places. At Capt George's there are 2 dessert bars, full of homemade desserts such as boston creme pie, banana pudding, flan, carrot cake, brownies, cookies, baklava, fresh fruit, chocolate pudding, velvet cake,and loads of other baked goodies. And there is a full salad bar that's got your traditional salad bar items plus tuna salad and usually two different kinds of seafood pasta salad and cocktail shrimp. And then there is also a HUGE main bar that has stuff like fried oysters, fried clams, crab imperial, norfolk special, oysters rock, seafood stuffed mushrooms, steamed clams, steamed shrimp, fried shrimp, fried chicken that's marinated in hot sauce, barbecued spare ribs, asparagus, sauteed mussels, new england clam chowder, she crab soup, steamed vegetables, roasted chef potatoes, cornbread, dinner rolls, hushpuppies, etc. There is also another separate seafood bar that has snow crab legs, steamed shrimp, and usually mussels and clams. And I haven't even named all there is to eat to there. Pros: Even on the busiest of nights you would only have to wait for like 15 minutes at the most, compared to 2 hours at Outback or Red Lobster Cons: Sometimes there are so many people that it can be loud. more

Actually, I can't rate the Laskin Road location. We've never had the chance to eat there. We've been to the door and inside several times, but have always left. The first time, the wait was exorbitant and we left. The next time it was just so crowded. On our last visit, we got a table, but there were way too many tables packed in. After being bumped and jostled and being just plain uncomfortable, we left without sampling the food. I wonder who we have to beseech to reopen the Pungo location? It was a wonderful experience every time we went there. The atmosphere, the view, the food! You could walk the beach after your meal or if you were lucky enough to have a boat, you could come (sort of) right on in. Not to mention it was a nice relaxing drive and you were in the mood for some good food when you walked in. Depending on what time you arrived, you could drive down the road a piece to the vineyards. I really miss the Pungo location and it's a real shame that it closed it's doors. Cons: crowded more

First to the previous review - the Capt George's in Pungo is gone - has been for a while. Seafood, by nature is salty - you will have the need for water! I enjoyed the crab legs, she crab soup, all the steamed seafood, even the raw oysters! I enjoyed it, but then someone else paid...never knew how much it was. Pros: Seafood - steamed & raw were awesome!! Cons: Heard the prime rib was bland more

Captain Georges is highly over rated, expensive and not that great, how can anyone give a 9 to their crab legs when they are over cooked and after the buffet you wake up in the morning wanting to drink 5 gallons of water after all the salt from the sea food. But if you must go to Capt Georges, go to the one in Pungo, the scenary is much better. more

My boyfriend remembered Capt.'s Buffet to have a great atmosphere, good food, and the entire place was decorated like the interior of a ship to make the experience memorable. When we went there just last week we were disappointed. The restaurant is decorated like any other buffet, the food was average, and the place was crowded. I'd say you have to eat at least 3 heaping piles of food to make up for the cost. If you do not endulge yourself in the seafood part of the buffet or don't care for crab legs then do not go! It may be great for seafood loving tourists on vacation, but I don't think I would ever go back. Cons: Expensive, Ambience more

My family and I used to live in Richmond and we would travel to VA. Beach JUST to eat at this fabulous restaurant. Now that I'm in Ohio, my husband and I are planning a trip to Va. Beach this summer and top on our list is Captain George's Seafood buffet. The food is worth the wait. Although you can expect to pay a pretty penny for the buffet, it can't be beat. The crab legs are cooked perfectly and the variety on the buffet is fit for a king. We can be very choosey when it comes to picking restaurants and this one has always been a favorite with us. We can't wait to go again! Pros: Variety, Taste/Quality, Restaurant Decor Cons: Crowded, Can be noisy, You will gain weight! more

Food was great, the only thing was the condo sales person pitching time shares at the exit inside the establishment, he was posing as a employee and caught us off guard asking us how we like the food, then dived into his time share pitch this really wrecked the whole thing and will not go back \r \r Food is $26.00 per person a little high priced. more

This place is so wonderful, well worth the money. I have been to several Captail George's, but like this one the best. It is the biggest and has the largest variety. Everything you can possibly imagine is on the buffet, not just seafood items. Oh, and the dessert buffet, just as huge! more

we drove out to pungo ,to discover it was closed ,then we decicided to drive to laskin road.we were seated promtly in enclosed room .there were to many tables for the room.as people walk within 6 inches.people were rude and inconsiderate. it was really noisy,almost as loud as the jet noise.my wife asked for rice--they brought out a rice combo ,she couldnt eat.her steak was ok.shrimp were small. sorry that pungo closed as was a qiet atmosphere.water veiw and could enjoy your meal in quiet! waitress clara great was the only bright spot. we will not go there again,did not enjoy meal. Pros: waitress, waitress, waitress Cons: crowded room, small shrimp, rowdy room more

Our family likes this Captain George's better than the one in Hampton, we feel they have a better selection and a larger dining room. Just watch out for Tourist Season! You will be waiting forever! The food is excellent even though it's a little pricey, but the buffet is soooo worth it! There is something for the entire family right down to the little ones! You owe it to yourself to pay them a visit! more

As someone who lived in Va Beach for over 35 years, I've been to Capt. George's numerous times...too many to count, actually. I agree that this isn't the place to hang out on a weekly basis, but if you like seafood and a variety of it....it can not be beat. Of course, the crab legs are a big draw for people, and they should be!! They mainly have Snow Crab Legs, but occasionally they will have King Crab Legs...and they're well worth it. They'll also have fried oysters sometimes (a fave of mine). From top to bottom, this is the place to go for great seafood. I now live in the foothills of SC and I miss the quality of seafood at Capt. George's. We have good seafood here, really just good ole ""fish camps"", but they can't and don't compare to Capt George's. Pros: Great Seafood, Great Variety, Good Atmosphere Cons: Pricey, Can be noisy more

whenever i visit my daughter in cheasapeake we always go to capt geos for the best seafood whowever my last trip in sept 05 i wasn't in the seafood mood so i ordered a delmonicq steak it was the best steak i have had -cooked perfectly served with fresh steamed broccoli a very pleasnt surprise i'll always return to capt geos in the future Pros: great food, great service, grt selection Cons: busy/noisy, parking more

This is such a great buffet. Very clean and plentiful food. You never see an empty tray. The food is excellent. Great crablegs and desserts! Yum! A must try! more

There's a five dollar discount during lunch on Sundays, but the seafood buffet is normally $25. It is definitely worth it. They have everything... chicken, roast beef, pork chops, huge salad bar with dark green lettuce and tons of other salad fixin's. The buffet also includes a large variety of fish, cooked vegetables, stuffed clams, steamed clams, crab legs (my fav) and a full dessert bar. Go for the buffet, but wear lose pants! more
