Captain George's Seafood - Williamsburg

My husband is always excited to make the two-hour round trip to Captain George's for the all-you-can-eat crab legs that he enjoys so much. However, there are a few drawbacks. It gets...

I hadn't visited this place in about eight years, and I was pleased to find the food was delicious, especially the seafood. We decided to skip dessert, however, after seeing a ten-year-old girl sticking her fingers into it.

Absolutely! Just take my money! The staff was fantastic, and the crab was fresh and abundant. The place was also very clean. This was money well spent! I couldn't have asked for a better experience...

The food was outstanding, large selection, snow crab legs, steak, lots of seafood, stuffed mushrooms, everything I tried was excellent. The deserts were tasty too. The staff was attentive and very friendly. The only reason for pause was the price. 38$ for buffet. 20$ for children.

We arrived a couple of hours after opening and encountered a line of eager diners waiting to get in. After some deliberation about whether to join the queue, we ultimately decided to stick it out after hearing so many people leaving the restaurant excitedly proclaiming, "It's worth the wait!" We slowly made our way to the entrance over a span of about 45 minutes, and once invited in, we were seated promptly. The dining area was spacious and lively, definitely appearing larger inside than it does from the outside. I must commend the staff; they have the table waiting, bussing, and clearing down to perfection! Once seated, my dining buddy and I dove into the four buffet islands, which offered a delightful array of seafood: crabs (so many crabs), shrimp, clams, crawdads, mussels, fish, and more crabs. If seafood isn't your thing—or if you have allergies—there are also soups, fried and baked chicken, and barbecue spare ribs available. The ambiance and food were excellent, and the staff was welcoming. If it weren't for the long drive, the wait, and the $32-per-person price tag, I would probably visit more frequently. Nevertheless, I will definitely be returning to this gem!
