This typical Calabash seafood restaurant has always been a standard stop for our family's annual vacation. We were surprised this year when we asked for an extra basket of hush puppies (16 of us in the party & they gave us 2 "free" baskets) that we would have to pay for them. When we questioned the waitress, she said the... more

We just drove here from Carolina Beach, because I heard that Calabash is the place to go for seafood, and Captain John's is the place to go in Calabash. What a mistake! I ordered the Deluxe Seafood Platter so I could get a little of everything. What I got was dried out fish, tasteless mush passed off as oysters, and... more

We came to Calabash last year and ate at Capt John's and the food was excellent. This time around was very different. We had four adults in our party and all of us thought that the food was just plain bad. When we arrived we were seated at an interior table and when the waitress came over she offered to... more

I wanted quality Alaskan snow crab and I got it at Captain John's. We went there on the recommendation of a friend and he was right! Down to the ranch dressing on the salad bar and the hush puppies with honey butter, the food is absolutely delicious. The service was prompt and courteous and the price was more than fair.... more

In spite of others' poor reviews, we decided to try Captain John's anyway. We were greeted immediately by friendly people and the server was personable and helpful.

The... more

Not the best in Calabash but you should not leave disappointed more

Typical Calabash fried seafood. The waitress couldn't have been nicer. My husband got the crab leg special: 2 lbs. of crab legs for $25 and they were delicious. I had the deluxe seafood platter, which was basically a little bit of everything--All fried, of course. The flounder was great, the hushpuppies were delicious (tasted like funnel cake), and the deviled... more

This was our first trip to Calabash NC. Capt John's has very good food. The hush puppies are delicious (they are served as you sit down). My husbands steak was cooked perfectly. My fantail shrimp was delicious. The salad bar was also very good. Our server was outstanding. We did not have to wait for a table once we arrived.... more

While searching for a good seafood restaurant in the Myrtle Beach-Calabash area, my husband and I found Captain John's Seafood Resturant. The prices were very reasonable and the food was excellent. Our bill totaled less than $35 which is much less than resturants in the Myrtle Beach area. The view from the dockside restaurant was beautiful. It is well worth... more
