Buffet restuarants are for when you don't know what you want. This one is for tourists who what to try different types of seafood. If you know what you really want, then go to a place with a menu and order it.
Giant Crab is pricy $28 unless you find one of the early bird coupons ($6 off if before 3PM, $5 before 4PM, and $4 before 5PM). Unfortunately, my sons were not ready until 6PM which still did beat the waiting crowd. Also add drinks ($2.50 for tea), 10.5% state sales tax, and server tip. (Our total bill for one additional person was 20% less at Red Lobster down the street.)
The buffet has 170 items. You can see the menu on their website (link below). 6 are soups, 5 are steamed/raw, 25 are for salads, 7 are for kids, 3 are the carving station, 5 breads (recommend skipping what is served at table and get fresh), around 75 are main entrees and sides, 20 at hibachi grill, and 26 desserts. So get access to 170 "items", but less than 20% is seafood. Some were tasty - others were just there.
Seating is flexible to fit group size. There is some outdoor tables by the Intercoastal Waterway.
