A Seafood Lovers Paradise

  • June 14, 2008

Captain George's is an all-you-can-eat seafood restaurant. They have pretty much everything except lobster (they'd go out of business if they did). Crab legs, clams, shrimp, scallops, oysters... you name it, it's there. They have something for everybody, for those who don't want seafood (but I can't imagine why you're even here in the first place if that's the case). They also have a nice desert table with various cakes, pastries and things of the sort. The seafood isn't as fresh as I prefer mine to be but it's certainly acceptable. Considering the volume they do it's no small feat that it's as good as it is.

It's a tad bit pricey for the buffet but I mean come on... look at what you get. I remember years ago when it used to be $24.95, which was a great deal. I know it has gone up since then. I think it was around $30 the last time I was there.

If you're a seafood lover this place is a must-eat when in Williamsburg.

We were here in Williamsburg to celebrate our birthday, being just a week apart. Naturally, we were looking a place to dine our heart out. We looked into couple of recommendations on several online guides but we thought they are too over rated when we got there. So we drove along Richmond looking for a restaurant that is not too expensive and yet with great experience. After going in and out of several restaurants, we finally decided on Cpt George's. The interior was great, the spread of buffet certainly make your money worth. Staff there were friendly. It is a place for couple, family, and friends. We will put this on our list of "must" when we visit Williamsburg again.

Captain George’s Seafood Restaurant features its world-famous all-you-can-eat seafood buffet with over 70 items including Alaskan snow crab legs, fresh broiled fish, steamed shrimp, prime cut beef and delicious desserts. A regular menu and children’s menu are also available.

When you enter the dining area the first thing you see is a 12-foot waterfall on the left and there is also a stream flowing through the entire restaurant! One wall is covered by a seascape (beach, lighthouse, etc.). Great décor!

We arrived early so there was no waiting line and we were seated immediately. Since we were both having the buffet we went ahead and loaded up our plates. Our server had already brought our drinks to our table. The broiled salmon and crab imperial were outstanding! We made several trips back to the buffet bars (there were 3) and barely had room for dessert. The dessert bar had 15-20 items to choose from.

The food is excellent and we highly recommend this restaurant. Captain George’s is open daily at 4:30 pm; Saturday at 4:00 pm; Sunday 12:00 pm.

"They say that the crabs make the best desserts." That's what my waiter said when I declined a plate to get a dessert with.

Captain George's Seafood Buffet has 70  items on it, including some of the best stuffed crabs, steamed craps, fried, and boiled shrimp that I've ever had.

I normally don't talk much about food or restaurants that I go to on vacation unless they are tied to the region that I am visiting. However, I make an exception for Captain George's, because it really is that good.

Seafood buffet very well stocked. Food was properly cooked, served hot and very tasty.

Service by waitstaff was good.

Large dessert buffet also was very good.

As with most seafood buffets, the price about $30.00 apiece.
