Dale's Seafood

Lunch special comes with 1 trip to the salad bar. Shrimp & deviled crab were very good. I was very pleased with my lunch and would definitely stop again. Prices are better than the calabash restaurants I normally visit.

Love this place. Great food, service and prices. We drove over an hour to get there and plan to go again soon.

I had a great experience at Dale’s Seafood in Tabor City! The salad bar was a definite highlight—fresh, well-stocked, and full of a wide variety of choices that made it easy to customize exactly what I wanted. I ordered the ribeye, and it was cooked perfectly—juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The steak tips, however, were a bit of a letdown. They lacked seasoning and came off a bit bland compared to everything else. What really stood out besides the salad bar was the service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. Overall, it’s a great spot with solid options—just a small tweak in the kitchen could take those steak tips to the next level!

Dale’s Seafood is a great place for delicious food. The portion sizes are quite generous and the prices are very reasonable. The food is great tasting and the servers are friendly and efficient. We usually get the regular seafood platters. It’s more than we can eat and will bring leftovers home that warm up great in the air fryer. One trip to the salad bar comes with most meals. The salad bar is fresh and has lots of options. Oh, and hush puppies / corn dodgers come with your meal! Whatever you want to call them, they aren’t to be missed! If you haven’t been because you can’t imagine how a seafood restaurant in Tabor City could be as good as one at the beach, you’re missing out. As a local all my life and generations deep, I can tell you this is where the locals go. You won’t be disappointed.

We always ask for Amanda as our server. Great food. They offer senior specials and portion size is good. The sweet tea is really good. Serve coke products. Salad bar is fresh. Great customer service. All staff is friendly.
