Not sure what reason you would come here other than to eat your weight in all you can eat crab legs. Service by Michael was impeccable. He had our table cleared off quickly, fresh napkins and trash plates replaced quickly. He was constantly refilling our drinks. The service was definitely the best service I’ve had at a Buffet. The mix of food on the menu was good! Other seafood was decent. Lots of deserts. Take a look!

The service is really good, food was good as well. We had a couple of cocktails they were big and tasty. With their prices, I was expecting a bit more variety on the menu; other than that this is a good family restaurant with a quiet welcoming atmosphere and very clean.

I was disappointed to learn that the location in PCB stopped serving lunch during the week but we decided to try dinner even though were not into crab legs. The salad bar is awesome but why fill up on salad at $50 a pop.....I pretty much tried all the variety of shrimp which was good, the steak was sirloin and was dry, ribeye would have been a better choice. The brownies were good with some soft serve ice cream on top. If your there on the weekend definitely go during lunch, half the cost. Dinner was very pricey.

Our first time in PCB and our first trip to Captain Jacks. The service was fantastic, our server was super attentive and friendly. The crab legs were plentiful with no waiting on a refill. The steak, salad bar, all the seafood was amazing. The banana pudding was homemade and so good. I recommend this to anyone who loves seafood. So worth the price.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

For the 2018 season, are you running the senior special like you did for the past two years for the dinner buffet for $19.99 for the month of March? I can't talk to a person when I dial the listed number on the web site, all you get is a recording

debbie Dennis | May 17, 2018
Iulia Covarjuc | May 18, 2018

Yes we do run our March Senior Special for $19.95 without the crablegs; with crablegs is $29.95 but you have to have the coupon, wich is in the paper. We just re-opened for the 2018 season that is why you couldn't speak to anyone.

When is the best time to go to eat at captain Jack for Crab leg's?

Tammie Gowdy | May 17, 2019
Marcia L Ott | May 18, 2019

For supper, I would say to get there early... 5:30 at the latest... otherwise you are in for a good wait for a table. Not to say the wait isn't worth it, but if you're really hungry, you're not going to be happy waiting... Don't know about lunch, never been there then.

This is not a good place to eat. I had a bad experience there. Rude waiter and buffet was small. Cost me $60.00 to eat and drink and the steak was a cheep cut and when i ask for a steak knife the waiter almost bit my head off for asking and took me for ever to get a refill on my drink. There was plenty of crab legs but had to wait in a line. As for me i will go somewhere else next time. There is another all you can eat crab legs restaurant but not sure i think it is captain Anderson i will be going there in a couple of weeks. There is to many restaurant for me to go back where i had a bad experience at a ridiculous price.

Lavelle Granger | May 18, 2018

Don't know if they are opened year round..I do know they have become very high..we have been going for years cause we love crab legs and it all you can eat. This year it was for 2 buffets and 2 drinks were $91.23. And that didn't include the tip..so with everything for 2 people to eat and drink and tip was 125.00. Which is way way to high. That's the cost of a hotel room overnight or groceries for a week. So don't know if we will go back and it's sad we have been going for years.
