Looking for a good seafood buffet or all you can eat seafood buffet. Crab legs are a must. Dh wants to have one seafood feast while we're on vacation. We usually eat at the Mariner (I think that's the name) across the street from Zoo World. It's a really old restaurant, dark with a lot of country kitchen and a little nautical atmosphere thrown in for good measure. For some reason, we've always eaten there at least once a trip as long as I can remember. But last trip it wasn't open. I know it was off season but it also looked like there was some roof damage or coustruction/demo work going on. Anyone know if it's still open??? Also would love to hear other suggestions.

Bishop's is NOT an option. Ate there last trip and we were both far from impressed. We've also dined at the Treasure ship at Captain Crabby's. It was good, but I don't really like the spiced crab boil.

Thanks so much.

I actually logged on just now to post this same question. My family LOVES the mariner, and some of the staff there actually remembered my father and I from year to year because of a crab leg eating contest he and I had one year. I ate 17 plates full of crab legs, while he ate 15. I am kind of embarrassed by that.

I know they were closed down both times we visited PCB last year. Does anyone know if they ever opened back up?

Mariner's not open, yet.... BUT looks like it could be soon. The hotel they're building next to it is almost done and Mariner will probably reopen with the hotel.

Capt. Jacks's on Thomas Drive is another Seafood Buffet you might try.

If you're really wanting a great seafood meal that will leave you stuffed and happy, try Boon Docks Restaurant on Hwy 79. It's not a buffet, but the seafood is premium and the portions are large! Plus they let you mix and match. Go early to avoid a long wait.

I'll definately look and see if they're open in July. May try Captain Jacks's instead, or just go back to Captain Crabby's. That's DH's call.

We DO plan on eating at Boondock's and Hunt's oyster bar, thanks to all the reccommendations for both on here. And Liza's Kitchen for breakfast one morning. Can't wait!!!

I will NOT be going back to captian Jacks. We went twice last year and the food was terrible and over-priced both times. There are much better places to go in PCB than Capt. Jacks IMHO.

Any word on the Mariner?
