This restaurant has the best fried shrimp and oysters that I have ever tasted. Well worth the 30 mile trip from Myrtle Beach. I will never eat seafood anywhere else when I am in Myrtle Beach. more

We stoped there for lunch while waiting for our dolphin cruise, had the shrimp special with hush puppies, delicious, very fresh shrimp, tasted like they just brought them off the boat that morning, hush puppies were outstanding, would recommend. not real fancy, but good local food. more

We will never eat here again. The food was terrible and the bus boy had to come over and kill a huge cockroach. The busboy told us if it was him he would leave. That's pretty bad coming from an actual employee. The managers thought nothing of it and said that the bug was a palmetto bug and that palmetto... more

We have dined at this restaurant for the past few years and have noticed a steady decline in both service and food quality. Today however really took the cake (or camera for that matter). We arrived at approximately noon and were seated immediately which was great for our party of 4 adults and 3 children. We then waited nearly 10... more

Management response from
chelliejaq, waitress working during this time

This is the "Rest" of the story.... I was waiting on the table where this party previously sat when he came back in angrily asking the hostess where his camera was. When she could not find it he immediately accused the staff of stealing it. I asked the family seated at the table to please look around for it and...

We had high hopes for Captain Nance's after reading the menu from a hotel brochure. Unfortunately the food was terrible. The best thing we ate were the hushpuppies that came with the meal. The service was average and we felt like the waitress was trying to make up for the food when she saw no one was eating. Honestly, going... more

There's a row of Seafood Restraunts in Calabash. Do yourself a favor. Pick one other than this place. I ordered the seafood platter. Everything was extremely greasy and tasted the same as if it was all fried in the same grease. NO GOOD! more

The food was not good. Shrimp were greasy and had no flavor. My daughter's chicken filet sandwich was two chicken strips on a plain cold bun. When we got up to go to the bathroom we noticed they had specials posted outside the door of the restroom. Of course no one informed us of that. When we went to checkout... more
