Seafood Barn

I got the crabs and they were lovely, I'd highly recommend if you're ok with spending a decent amount of money. My girlfriend got the 'spicy' shrimp and when she received it, the seasoning was all over the shell so when she took off the shells all the seasoning was off. After that it was really bland, but it's fine if you plant on using cocktail sauce with it (which she sadly isn't a fan of). My brother got the Hawaii Caribbean Fish and that was tasty as well. Neat little place with a Giant Rooster so bonus points for that. Overall pretty average for how expensive it was, bill was crazy high for slightly above seafood.

They were very health conscious as they checked our temperature before letting us enter. Food was hot, fresh and plentiful. Good choices of main entrees and sides. I got the two item platter (I chose clams and shrimp) along with sweet potato fries and cheese grits. Sauces are made in-house. Our waitress was very pleasant, informative and attentive. Great prices for the value. I took home a box of leftovers!

I cannot say enough good things about this place. We were skeptical after reading some of the other reviews on the service, but we did not have the same experience. Our waitress was amazing, as well as the other waitstaff. They brought our appetizers, salads, and entrée out in a timely manner where we could enjoy each stage of our meal. We both got ribeye and crab legs, crab dip, salad and soup. Everything was exceptional and cooked perfectly. This was our first time at Holden Beach and we have tried a lot of different restaurants this week and this was by far the very best one quality, portions, and service. Be prepared to pay a bigger price tag here, about $90 for the two of us, but we did order expensive menu items. There are other options that are cheaper.

Fast and accurate service for family of five takeout order. Friendly staff, long standing locally owned business. Prices seemed a tad high but all in all, not bad. Plus, it saved us a tired trip to Calabash on a busy Saturday night. However, to be honest, none of the food at the beach seems to taste as good as it used to.

Would have give no stars but you can’t do that. Our bill was a $100.00 for four people and the best thing was the free hush puppies they bring you before the meal. My suggestion would be to fill up on those. The seafood was most likely frozen and that’s sad right beside the ocean. It was floppy and soggy and just plain disgusting. The chicken Alfredo was also a hot nasty mess. The corn on the cob had a hair on it almost looked like a pubic hair. Just a overall very bad experience not what you would expect for the price at all. Take heed and just don’t waste your money here the seafood and pasta would have been much better from Red Lobster.
