Captain George's: Myrtle Beach, SC

The year was probably early 2000's.  The setting Myrtle Beach, SC. The game: UNO.  My Grandmother and I had a friendly bet on that game.  The loser had to buy dinner that night wherever we decided to eat for supper.  It was myself, my grandmother, my dad, my mom, and my sister.  Holly, had not yet gotten married.  It was a family affair you could say.  Long story short, I ended up losing  that game of UNO.  Everybody decided a good seafood buffet would be nice.  I had no idea what I had gotten myself into.  Our tab for Captain Georges was well, over a hundred dollars, maybe even 200.  For grandma's alone, was thirty dollars.   That one trip alone, started a tradition with my family.  We always go to Captain Georges now when we are there.  As an am-age to my Grandma, I always pile up on crab legs.

Since that one trip, we have taken numerous other visits there.  We had our couples weekend in March with the Shaw's.  We also just recently took Shanna's mother with us there.  Captain Georges is always worth the higher price.  Their customer service is unspeakable.  The seafood is so fresh you can almost hear the ocean.  (However, I don't recommend holding the oyster shell to your ear) They boast Mahi Mahi, Salmon, Trout, Whiting, She Crab Soup, Oysters Rockefeller, Prime Rib, Crab Legs… Just about anything you would want, it's there.  And at the higher price point, it weeds out all the "riff raff" and children you might encounter at other buffets.  

They say the mark of a true Chef is that his cuisine, with one simple bite, can take you back in time.  That it can make you a child again, experiencing something for the first time.  The same can be said for restaurants.  Shanna and I, have probably been to this restaurant 25 times over the years.  Every time its a new memory.  This last trip, marked Addie's first time there.  As I'm sure it will be one of many.

So please take my recommendation if you ever find yourself strolling the boardwalk at Myrtle Beach, head up Highway 17 to Captain Georges for a memory you will not soon forget.  I am so confident in this establishment, that if it is not 110% to your satisfaction, I will gladly pick up your tab.  So, until next time, remember to KEEP YOUR KNIVES SHARP, BUT YOUR MINDS SHARPER.
