Tips for getting the most out of crab legs
- Arrive near 4 PM. The seafood section is at its fullest right after doors open, and lines are short.
- Take a few at a time. Small plates keep the legs hot and mean less shell to carry back to the table.
- Ask for extra napkins and a bowl. A second plate for shells keeps the table tidy.
- Pair with the sides. Hushpuppies, corn and baked potato are all on the buffet and go well with butter and lemon.
- Try the Cajun crab legs too. The menu lists both plain and Cajun-style crab legs, so you can compare.
More than crab
Not everyone at the table has to love shellfish. The buffet also has fried chicken, BBQ ribs, mac and cheese, pizza and a salad bar, so a mixed group can all eat well. If you are bringing the family, read our guide to dining with kids at Pirate's Table.
Walk-ins are welcome and no reservation is needed. Parties of 10 or more should contact group sales.
